ADVICE TO YOUNG W1vEs.-The
young wife should remember that she
has chosen her own lot in life; she has
connected it with that of her husband,
and if, by the decree of an allwlse Prov
idence, he becomes embarrassed, it is
her duty to aid him by her kindness, not
to mutter or oppress him by her ill.tem-
per. Upon the male sex the task of
providing the means of subsistence is,
in civilized society, almost exclusively
imposed; and consequently when they
become distressed, and have not ywhere-
withal to provide for their partners, they
suffer doubly. They have not only
their own privations to regret, but yours
also; and the world 's-oftentime unjust
-censure, falls exclusively upon the
husband. The wife cap hide herself
from the world, but the husband must
face its pride, its prosperity. May all
young wives be permanently prosperous;
but for their own sakes, and Br the hon
or of womanhood, we admonish them not
to let adversely, should it unfortunately
lay it's iron hand upon them, induce
them to depart from that affectionate con-
duct, in word or deed, which THEY owe
to their husbands; and conduct them
selves in such a manner as to do away
with the truth of the old proverb:
"When poverty comes in Mt the door,
love flies out at the window"

that the Southern States are kept under

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY MORNING, FISH. ~. IsO
KLECrOIN E-xrRAOaDNARY,


Theirs seems 20 be 3 fever in some
quarters to have as many elections as
possible. Ia addition to the election Of
County Commissioners, it has been moot
ed that so election for County Trustee
should be brought on sc the ensuing sps-
eial election in March. Why such an
election should be ordered can only be
accounted for on the ground that we have
among u persons who want office. The
law is plain enough Article z sections
l and 2Of the Constitution says:
SECTION l. There shau be elected IN each
county, by the qualified voters therein, one
sherE oneTrustse and one Register; the shsr-
fand Trustees FOR two years, and the Register
for four ysars Provided that no person shall
be eligible 70 the Office Of Sheriff more than
six years in any term OF eight years. There
shall be elected for each county, by the Justices
OF the Peace, one Coroner and Ranger, who
shall hold their Offices for Two years. said
officers shall be rsmOyed for malfeassnce or
neglect OF duty, in such manner as shall be
prescribed By law.
Sec. . Should & vacancy occur, subsequent 10
an election in the Office Of Sheriff, Trustee or
Register, IL shall be nued by the Justices; II in
that OF the Clerks 70 be elected by the people It
shall be died by the Courts; and the person so
appointed shall cOntinus in once unuI his sue
cessor shall be elected 4Rd qualified and such
Office shall be filed by the qualified voters at
the drst election for any Of Inc county officers.
Il is apparent, taking these two cOnsec-
utivs sections together, Pari pGSsuI that
the election referred 20 in the second sec
ton is q regular election for any Of the
officers referred to in the LIST section as
the county officers. II an election at the
regular tine, for either Of the county OH
GERS, whose existence is provided for in
the Constitution, viz, in section l, before
quoted, should occur, any vacancy must
then be filed.
The intention is evident to elect an
officer only at the regular elections, for
the officers within contemplation of the
Constitution, ali vacancies to be filed by
the Justices Z u until the Aext regular
election. The greedy and hungry office
seeker, he who has counted the tumul-
tuary elements which enter into our
present contests has only q mere bubble
upon which to hang his chances for pro-
motion. The hook is = precarious one,
and must break down when . pressure.
is brought to bear upon it.
