SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The press throughout the State have
been in some doubt as to what position
would be most proper to be taken in this
Kilkenny cai-6ght for Governor. Stokes
organs have turned over to Senter, and
again newspapers which had endorsed
Senter have turned somersaults in favor
OF Stokes. The Radical party is like p
hive Of bees that cannot decide which
uueen bee should be selected to preside
over the destinies Of the swarm.
There is q general buzzing and sting
ing all around, which makes it dan
eerous for a respectable man TO come
near the Infatuated crowd. To add to
confusion worse COMPOUNDED" the
Conservative papers are participating
whenever the fun becomes furious and

this war Of the roses an innocent man
would be allowed to pass without being
disturbed; but ii seems that all who 60

with q black eye. II there is 4 more

rarely" and he is thus subjected to a
caustic editorial from the Nashville
Banner of the 18th, headed, "Anoiher
Richmond;"
A Memphis dispatch announces that q
Mr.. ID. M. Leatherman ANNOUNCES him.
self q candidate for Governor" We re.
rret that the Associated Press reporter
should have considered this announce
ment of sufficient importance TO be con-
yeyed on the wings Of the lightning to
the uttermost confines of the State. 1t
is the hight Of presumption on the part
of Mr.. Leatherhead to suppose that any
body but himself desires that he should
be Governor Of Tennessee, particularly
at this time. he has about as much
chance to press the gubernatorial cushion
as he has Of becoming Queen Dowager OF
England. If any of our people having
the right to vote should be guilty OF the
folly Of wasting their votes upon Leather
head they would deserve to lose their
liberties forever.
A short time ago, by some mysterious
chance, it was stated in the Washington
dispatches that Mr.. Leatherhead was
prospective gubernatorial candidate.
But in a card to the Memphis LEDGER,
Mr. Leatherbags subsequently, declared
em phatically II am not candidate for
Governor, of any party, and shall not be

will do. 1t is pity for Leatherlungs
that he did not adhere to this original
proposition. We don't think he has a
ghost of q chance to be Governor.

THE WALLAOE- WILLIAMS MAN
DAMUS CASE.
A Very Able Decision from Judge
Reeves-Adverse 10 wallace.

In the Circuit Court this morning,
Judge Reeves, in an able decision, de.
cided in the above stated case:
/. That all votes cast at the late judi.
cial election by voters residing without
the 9th, 18th, 18th and 10Th Civil Dis
tricts of this county had no right to vote
for any candidate for Jadge of the Grim
inal Court of Memphis.
2. That it is the duty of the Commits
sioner Of Registration, in making his re-
turns to the Governor and Secretary of
State, to reject all votes by parties re-
siding without. the limits Of those four
Civil Districts.
3. That it was the duty of the judges
and clerks of the election to keep the diff
ferent classes of votes in such manner
as to show in their returns to theRegistrar
the number Of votes, and for whom cast
by such voters.
4. That the Commissioner instruc-
tions to such judges and clerks to count
votes from any part of the county for
Judge and Attorney General of the Grim
inal Court Of Memphis was erroneous
and illegal.
s. That the presumptions are that the
judges and clerks acted according to law
and not the illegal instructions of the
Commissioner, and consequently the
Commissioner cannot go behind the re-
turns of said judges and. clerks and cor.
rect said returns.
6. That the power, to purge the ballot
box of illegal votes and to decide the
legality of an election is vested ex-
clusively in the Chancery Court. The
court, in accordance with the following
rulings, declines to grant q peremptory |
writ of mandamus, because, though it is
the duty Of the Commissioner to reject
illegal votes, it is out of his power to do |
what is his duty in the premises, though |
his inability is in consequence of his own
illegal acts and instructions.
The decision was listened to with
marked attention by large number of |
very intelligent citizens, who crowded the
courtroom, and who seemed quite inter-
ested in this important decision, which
shows Judge Reeves to be fair and up
right judge, fully comprehending the
principles involved in the case, and de-
to administer the law faithfully.
All seemed to concur in the correctness
of the decision.

uian. and the latter her second offcer-for their
heroic and gallant conduct during the dreadful catas
rophe The details of the loss OF the lberna are yet
too vivid IN the recollection OF the public to require
any recapitulatlon. 1t will readily be remembered
that Captain Munroe stood firmly by his dreadful
post TO the very last moment, when all hopes OF
rescue had been long abandoned: that ne with
Others finally launched upon the ocean, and That he
was at length picked up by the star of Hope and
conveyed TO John O'Gr0at. which lies at the eAtreme
