alive papers had in the first place con-
demned the Ku Klux 7" ORDERS" as "play
ing into" Radical hands, instead Of
i looking on them as samples of merri-
ment and tomfoolery. But now when
the "Klan Z" excitement is over, out
comes the Bulletin on Wednesday morn.
ing with the following piece of nonsense
indorsing the statement Of Lippincotfs 5
Magazine respecting Memphis;
The exodus from the South to the
North has commenced 10 earnest, now
that the very hot weather has set in. All
who can get away are moving to more
genial climate. Each day large trains
filled with passengers take their depart
ure from the depots, and yesterday af-
ternoou the largest train of the season
left the head of Main street with several
hundred passengers on board.
Let us look at that .waddle. The "very
hot weather" Of Memphis has caused an
exodus to more genial climate
North. Dear me, how funny that sounds |!
In the LEDGER of Tuesday Mr.. Gold
smith, a gentleman of scientific knowl-
edge, gives the thermometer in this
city as ranging thus: AT 7 am,
.64}';; at 2 pm, 77a0; at 9 pm,
640." Well. the. telegraph from New
York on the same day reported
I" we cases of sunstroke in that city and
one 10 Brooklyn;" and from Montreal,
Canada, i" Eve fatal cases Of supstroke
and twenty ordinary cases-the ther
mometer lO0o in the shade. Surely the
."large trains filled with passengers
which take their departure each day "
cannot leave for more genial pleasant
climate" while the fact stares us in the
face that on the day that statement was
made Memphis was toenty-tno and a
half degrees cooler than New York or
Montreal No wonder Northern people
have "false impressions" about the
Estate of things down here" when such
sensational bosh is published in Mem.
phis journal. The Largest train Of the
season." forsooth, with several hun
.dred passengers /" rushing out of heaven
into belll Verify, wonders will never
cease"
Col. ]. T. Trezevant's review in the
Avalanche of the New York Heralds
article on Memphis as Cotton Cen
ter" seems very sensible, andit would be
wise on the part of planters to hereafter
g raise the staple extensively. New
York capitalists are taking rapid
strides toward making Norfolk cot
ton depot in place of New Orleans.
Memphis can supply both markets-one
by railroad and the other by river-and
consequently command higher prices
than any other point in the Mississippi
Valley. And why not a third market?
Why not ship direct to Liverpool through
Norfolk 2 Let the gold come here from
England for the staple" and we'll
soon see our planters and merchants "on
their feet" again. Taller.

We hear that the radicals at the various
ward polls, at our recent city election, insist.
ed that every foreign born citizen who was
challenged should produce his naturalization
papers and that the judges of election per-
mitted the RAIDS to consume time and hinder
the people, by talking about the matter, un-
necessarily. They should have done no such
thing. 1t is not necessary for any natural
lied citizen to produce his papers at all, or
even bring witness to prove that he ever
had any naturalization papers, and no ma
turalized citizen should ever submit to any
such outrage upon his rights. If challenged
his own oath is sufficient, and all the law re-
quires, on that point-and any judge of
election who requires anything besides the
oath of the voter, Or permits anybody to ar
que or delay the matter, is not posted and
not suitable man for Judge of election.
