Happy Memphis.

The judicial ermine is not considered
quite spotess in our sister city of Men,
mis-. according to the testimony of
friend writing to US from that point He
saws there are but two courts in Memphis
out of the seven that sit there, in which
a gentleman can appear as counsel, with
ont a large abatement Of his self-respect.
The County Court, with a jurisdiction that
reaches into the domestic finances Of the
county is said to be under the control of
an imbecie, whose assiRine stubornness
gives counsel and suitors no iuconslder-
able degree Of annoyance. Our corre-
spondent says further, that the County
Com mission is in the hands literally OF
four thieves and enc imbecile. The
Criminal Court is no better. The Law
Court, now in the hands of Judge who,
upon q petition for writ of error coram
nobis. granted writs ofcerttorari and sub
penas. without knowing the difference,
and does not now see the difference, iqs
il he capable of understanding the diff
ference. His associates are mostly ne
groes. and all his instincts those of q
thief and scallawag of the first water.
The Judge of the Circuit Court is honest,
but SO badly informed that his rulings are
mere guess work, while the Municipal
Court, having q very large jurisdiction, is
in the hands Of man who could be
convicted by the clearest testimony Of
more than forty gross felonies since he
has been in Memphis, and against whom
an Indictment for perjury is now pre-
pared, aud will 20 before the court and
grand Jury next week. The Chancery
and United States courts are respecta-
bic, but the clerksbips in all except the
County and Circuit courts, including the
sheriff's office, are of the scsllawsg order.
Except the Circuit and Chancery
Courts, the court-rooms and gang-ways
| in the courts are crowded with idle he
groes, and the streets are crowded. and
the corners throng with thousands OF
lazy, ragged. black lszaroni, armed
and kept there at the expense of the gen.
eral Government, and, 10 some instances,
the county of Shelby, awaiting the cleo
tons. Many of the colonized voters are
from Mississippi, Alabama aud Illinois. "

SAN FRAEcIsoo, October %, 2:l5 am.
Another severe shock Of earthquake, this
minute, has sent the people shriekiDg
with terror into the streets. 1t is impos-
sible to say at present whether any more
damage sustained by shattered buildings
or lives lost. The streets were thronged
with people in their night clothes, who
we're fearful as to what may come next.
The atmosphere is thick and the weather
warm and sultry.
Three o'clock am.-The excitement is
somewhat quieted since the shake at Els

tire, but remain in the streets, discussing
the probability of recurrence of the

The last Radical Infamy.

That VIGOROUSLY incredible partisan
medium, the Cincinnati Gazette, under
the glaring headlines: Startling utter
apce of General Blair," General Grant
will never leave the White House alive"
Honest men shocked and disguised,
pretended to quote the following para
graph from General Francis p. Blairs
speech at St. Louis, last Friday night:
"Tbe point to which desire to bring
won il this, that in this struggle we have
everything at stake; that it is the final
and last struggle for the preservation OF
free constitutional government in Amer
lea; that if we fail in it the republic
falls with us; it becomes mere append
age of the military chieftain who is
lifted to power in the name Of the Presl-
dent, but who never will leave the Presl-
Dental mansion alive"
The following is what General Blair
really did say, taken from the rerbatim
report OF his speech, on the occasion
alluded to, in the ST. Louis Republican.
We hope every honest man will read it
and make his own estimate of the Ga
sette's honesty and decency in the I'M
scrupulous warfare it is making against
the dearest interest of the people. Here
is what General Blair said:
1.-THE point to which ! desire to bribg
you is this, that in this struggle we have
everything at stake; that it is the final
and last struggle for the preservation Of
free constitutional government in Amer
lea that il we fail in il the republic falls
with us-it becomes the mere appendage
of the military chieftsin who is elevated
to power in the name of the Presidency.
But he will never leave the Presidential
mansion as long as be lives. / have
nothing to say against him personally ]
have no intention of derogating from his
great merits as soldier, and / have no
desire to tarnish any of the laurels which
he has won in the services that be gave
the country during the late war; but
have just as little design Of surrendering
absolute power into the hands of any man,
no matter how illustrious be may have
made his name in this great war.
Gen. Blair declared that if the Radicals
succeeded they would convert the Gov
eminent into military despotism, TO be
ruled by Gen. Grant az long as he lives.
The Gazette, following the St. Louis
Democrat, changes its meaning-al:ers
its phraseology into threat of assassin
ton Of Gen. ant.-Ndshrille Banner.
