The day was not without interest and
incident in boating circles. During the
afternoon the Desoto boat club launched
their new gig, the Gertrude" from
the north bank Of Wolf river, just oppo-
site the new Jail, and manning her made
trial trip some two miles up Hatchie
river and back TO the starting point
The building of the new craft has been
eagerly watched by the club for some
days past, and it was with no little pride
and satisfaction they witnessed her debut
upon the waters and the handsome APP
pearance she presented. Sheisa six Dared
craft Of beautiful model, and gives promise
Of great speed. Her length is 20 feet, with
a width midships Of 81 feet, and she
draws 81 inches when manned. Her
exterior is black, with double lines Of
red and yellow, which at distance
intermingle with fine effect Her interior
is Of delicate pea-green, and presents
an air of great neatness. The test to
which she was subjected fully satisfied
the most skeptical that her speed will be
as great if not greater than that of any
rival craft in Memphis waters. This,
however, we leave to be decided when
the proper time and opportunity occur.
The Desoto, though comparatively a
young club-the youngest, we believe, in
the city--embraces among its member
ship several skillful and experienced
oarsmen, and the crew which manned
the Gertrude" on Saturday, evinced
their ability to give her speed that will
be hard to exceed. The following is the

B. j. SEMMes & Co.-Among the ante
bellum firms of the Bluff City who with
the close of hostilities resumed their
wonted places, honorably vacated to es-
pouse the Lost Cause, none has more
fully regained their old status and pres
tge than that of B. ]. Semmes * Co, Of
the old wine and liquor mart in the Irving
Block, Second street. Established as
early as 1919, by Raphael Semmes, Esq,
this now time-honored house has sus-
tanned its celebrity won nearly half GEN.
fury ago, and greatly enhanced the same
by strict adherence to the principles
and system of business adopted at the
outset. It is scarcely necessary to re-
mark that the reputation Of the firm ex-
tends wherever the liquor traffic of Mem
phis has extended. More than this, it has
reached the marts of the old world where
the name of Semmes is Synonymous
with the purchase and importation of the
best brands and rarest vintages The
firm has, in fact, the control in this
market almost exclusively Of many Of
the most popular and sought-for brands
of champagne and brandy. They are,
for instance, sole agents of the famous
Moet & CANADIANS "Green Sea-" the
Martel brapdies, and the Yannissee and
Westmoreland WHISTLES. They are also
importers of port, sherry and other
wines, and the best brands of cigars.
Those desiring, in short, any thing in
their line will be enabled to procure the
same from their large, superior and we'll
assorted stock, with the assurance that
it will prove itself in quality whatever it
is represented. Remember the old stand
in the Irving Block, Second street.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

GENTLEMEN AT former meeting of the
association, resolution was passed request
ing Judge Johnston and myself to address
you on the topics of the election soon to be
held to ratify or reject the Constitution pro-
posed by the late Radical Convention.
By the Constitution, of the Democratic
party, adopted throughout the State, we are
required to support the Constitution OF the
United States and of the State OF Mlsslsslppi'
and all laws passed in pursuance thereof
1t has ever been the province of the Dem,
oeratic party to defend the constitutional
rights, and especially the reserved rights OF
the people The Bill of Rights of the State
Constitutions reserve certain lnalienaDie
privileges, which are excepted out ef tne
general powers of government. THESE are
emphatically the peoples rights, aud the
Democratic party had its origin In the de,
fence of these rights in the early history o.
tse United States, aud maintains tnat posi-
ton to-day. HenGe it, is that while many
ether parties have arisen ana lalien. G1s ;.s
Demoeratic party has always maintained lts
Organization, and will continue TO do SO uh-
til the constitutional forms of government
shall have succumhed to despotic power.
The recent attempt of the Radical parry
IN Congress to impeach and remove tne
President, was an effort, by two-thlrds
majority, to overthrow the Executive De-
Partment of the Government anu lns'a.
despotism of numbers over the the cons.lCu
nonal form of government. Although re-,
1dent johnson was elected to- ONCE Dy tnt
Radicals, in opposition to the Democratis
candidate, the Democratic party SUSTAINED
him in oppos, tion to the Radical party, ano
The RESULT is that the Constitution IS main
tained aud anarchy prevented D.;
The principal charge against the Fresi
uent was his vetoes of the several recon
sraction acts of Congress By the Cohstl y,
Iutlon of our party, we hold these acts 70 ~ ~
une Institutional also, and this brings US US =
ne ene discussion of the acts of the late haulca
convention in this State, and the Copst'su
Non 1t has proposed for the ratihcaIion y
Aeleetlon of the people.
We held, in common with the Democratl'
party eyerywhere. that the State or nissis
