A DIRTY TRIcK.-We are informed
by correspondent that there is GER
tain Northern school marin" in the city
who is attempting to mislead the colored
people into the belief that Seymour and
Blair are both Of Southern birth, were in
the rebel" army, and if elected, will
return their race to slavery. Evidently,
this female missionary has been put up
to the contemplate trick by some car
pet Dagger or scallawag of the other
sex; and who is the scoundrel2 Let
him come out from behind the pet
ticoats which conceal him, that we may
give the lie to man instead OF a
woman. Our correspondent very truly
asserts: do verify believe that, if put
to the vote of the whites in the State to-
day, there are not thousand men in it
who would vote to re-enslsve the blacks.
Their greatest danger now is being led
into war of races by the infamous
csrpet-baggers, which will end in their
determination, or of being seized and
transported to Africa by the scallawsg
party, under the advice of the famous
author of the Crisis "A man by the
name Of Helper. He has already pub
Iished book under the auspices of his
scallawsg party, in which he proposes to
transport at least all under forty years Of
age. The Democrats propose to employ
the black population, and give them fair
wages, IL the scallawAg thieves among
us will let them alone and allow them to
hehaxa Themselves"

Explosion ON THE STEAM TUG NELLIE.
The boiler of the little steam tug
Nellie, owned by Messrs, Bigley d Mel
lersh, coal dealers OF this city, and COM
manded by Capt. VIM. Manigault, ex-
ploded about two o'clock last evening,
carrying away one side of the cabin and
making a complete wreck of the pilot
house. The accident occurred about
three miles above the city, and is sup
posed to have been caused by the burn
ing out of the front sheet of the boiler.
Capt. NJ, Mr.. John Flagg, the engineer,
Mr.. r. S. Groomes, the watchman. Mr.
James Kingrey, the fireman, and a Mr..
Williams, formerly engineer of the tug
Sam. Vail, were on board at the time OF
the explosion, but, strange to narrate,
neither was seriously injured thereby.
Mr.. Williams was slightly scalded about
the face and breast, aad Captain M. and
Mr.. Flagg, who were in the pilot-hoase,
were slightly bruised. The damage done,
as we sra informed by Capt Mellersh,
can be fully covered by $1,000.

A woRD IN Gun Own BruALr,-We
regard rs anything but ahopoful symptom
tho disposition manifested by certain Of
our citizens TO keep up the old practice
Of sending North for what they can pro-
cure on much shorter notice, and. fire.
quently, at just as low rates, at
home. To this instance, we sllude
to the matter OF printing, hav.
ing seen within the past day or two
several jobs received from labroh, which
we will guarantee to duplicate in Mem
phis, both as TO price and style Of execu-
ton. When will our people rid them
selves Of the falacy that whatever in the
line Of manufacture is done in Cincin-
natl, Chicago or Philadelphia, is
of necessity superior TO and cheaper than
the same thing made in Memphis. 1t is
seldom we have occasion thus to speak
in our own behalf, our vocation being
generally to serve the public rather than
our own Interest, but we do say that
the work turned out by the LEDGER job
department will compare both in point Of
style and price with that Of any other
city. And yet we find prominent drug
house sending to Philadelphia for
thousand or two of labels, the
express charges on which are in
excess of the difference between
the Memphis and Philadelphia prices.
What would say the same house were the
Same thing carried out on the other
side, and we were to order from abroad
the bottle of oil or the phisl of perfume
which we could purchase much more
readily and just about as cheaply at
home. Nor are we alone our
neighbors necessarily share with
us the slight and while there is
ample work in Memphis to keep every
industrious printer engaged, we're it
properly bestowed, there is q scarcity Of
employment, owing to the fact that what
properly belongs to the Memphis me-
chanic is refused him and sent abroad.
Let US ask our friends to consider this
matter in the future, and when they dis
cover that they can save money by
patronizing the North instead of our
selves, we shall have nothing to
say = only let them convince them
selves that such is really the case
before they bestow their favors. We
want no more than that which justly
belongs to us, and that we do want in
common with every class who arc strug.
Cling hand in hand for mutual interest
and advancement, and the one common
interest of our city.

Board or MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
closed stormy session Of three days
last evening, disposing of the following
business, additional to that which has al
ready appeared in the LEDGER:
Alderman Renner offered resolution
to the effect that the Finance Committee
be instructed to take, without delay, steps
necessary to bring the Office of privilege
tax collector again under the control of
the Board.
Action, however, upon the resolution
was, upon motion ofAlderman McDavitt,
postponed for the present.
An ordinance was passed on its first
reading repeating certain sections in
the ordinance which provides fer the
storing of cotton on the bluff, and allow
ing it to remain on the sluff and side
walks forty-eight hours.
An ordinance was passed on its fnaI
reading providing for the widening oil
Main street from sixty feet to eighty feet,
between Butler and South streets.
The following was offered and referred
to the Improvement Committee
Resolvcd, That the Mayor and all other
city officials having their horses boarded
at the expense of the city of Memphis,
are hereby notified that no horse or mule
shall be thus kept, except those belong
ing to the city or leased for city purposes,
and not for city officers.
Numerous bids were read for supplying
the city Offices and hospitals with coal,
which, on motion, were referred to a
special committee, to report at called
meeting, and thereupon the Board ad.
journed.
