HEALrn MArrERs.-l view Of the fact
that warm weather Is approaching Il is
certainly impoliiic to dispense with the
health officer, as is proposed'by the Board
Of Aldermen. The saving Of few thou
sand dollars per year is not TO be weighed
In the balance against yellow fever,
cholera and other diseases with which,
in consequence Of the filthy condition
Of our streets, alleys and yards, Memphis
has been ravaged during the past twoy ears
Instead Of abolishisg the office Of health
officer, his powers should be increased.
II we desire TO avoid epidemics next
summer, let the preventives be applied
now. This is the time when the work Of
purifying the city should be commenced,
that the warm weather may find the city
something else than q vast reservoir Of
filth If DR.. Rogers, our efficient Secre-
tary Of the Board Of Health, be given an
opportunity, he will soon place the city
in good condition, so far as sanitary
matters are concerned.

The Hop Morris CAsE-The indi-
vidual known as Hod Morris has been
required to give bonds in $1,000 to keep
the peace toward Mr.. Kane, whose life
he threatened at the circus the other day.
This threat was in revenge for the ar
ticles in the newspapers relative to his
recent chivhrous action in beating a
woman, he taking it for granted that
Kane had given the information. Only
a portion of the brutal record developed
at the trial was published, and the indi-
vidual known as Hod Morris would not
have experienced much difficulty in
finding all necessary information about
the publication at any Of the newspaper
Offices. We learn that this rowdy has
uttered threats about various newspaper
representatives supposed to have written
the paragraphs detailing his brutality.
This is awful.

ADAY OF RUMoRs. y esterday rumors
of all sorts were as plentiful as state
ments of the reliable gentleman " and
intelligent contraband" during the
war. The grapevine line brought in
tellgence of the arrest of Gen. Grant,
and the wind line trotted out the addi-
tional sensation that the President was
also in limbo. There we're not few
who heard that desperate fight was
raging in the streets of Washington.
The only basis for the medley of alarm
ing sensations was the fact that great
deal of gas and whisky were expended in
Congress Saturday night, followed by
the natural explosions. A. ]. still occu-
pies the White House, Thomas and Stan
ton continue the little pleasantly of
making ugly faces at each other in the
War office, and Ulysses smokes his Ha-
vana and absorbs his bitters with aston
ishing complacency.

Mn CoLrAX's SUCCESSOR. We
are right glad to notice that the
Union men of Mr.. Colfax's District
-1lth Indiana-havo nominated
our old friend Gen. Jasper Packard,
ofthc city of Iaportc, os the candi-
date for Congress in that District,
We have known Gen, Packard long
and we'll. He did gallant service
in the war for the Union against
the cohorts Of the rebellion, and
was wounded in battle. We know
Of no one more competent MOI
worthy TO succeed the dcseryedly
popular Colfax, than our worthy
old friend, Gen. Packard. That
our old friends Of that sterling Dis
Hict, with whom we have fought
many a well.contested political con
fict will elect him, we have not a
doubt,

- When one thinks about and
reflects that it was under Demo-
cratic administration that the re-
bellion was concocted, and that the
leaders Of that party were the men
who formed the Southern Confeder'
acy, it is not 80 strange after all
that tho same Democratic party
should have opposed every effort
of the Lincoln Administration to
put down the rebellion their party
had caused, Nor is it strange now,
that this same party should, in Con
gress, oppose the reconstruction Of
the States that went into rebellion
The rebellion was legitimate off
spring Of the Democratic party
and it would be unnatural for the
father to become the murderer o.
his own child.

Democrats Retrenchmont,

The Democratic papers OF this
State have kept continual clamor
about Republican extravaganza in
administering the affairs of the
State, and promised, if the people
would put them in power, they
would reduce the expenses. They
yentinto power pledged to retrcnch
the cost of administering the State
Government. How have they com
piled with theirpromises ? and how
have they fulfilled their pledges to
the people? Wen tell you how,
They have decreased the cost ofleg-
islation in this way: The entire
expense of the Legislature last year,
when the Republicans had the ma
jority, was S93,843. Now for the
Democratic mode of retreachment.
