A LOVE" OF STORE. of the stores
in the Columbia Hotel building has been
occupied for dry goods purposes by Mr.. W.
ID. Love. His stock is new, and he offers
attractions of no ordinary character to pur-
chasers.
The railroad lines leading into Memphis
will carry all delegates to the Convention,
going and coming, free of charge, and all
others at half price. Steps are taken to in
duce all the roads in the South to make the
same arrangement.
a card OF the Nickerson House is pub
lished in another column. The location is
admirable for summer residents; and as the
climate and general health of our city is
proverbial for its excellence, Mr. Wright
will doubtless receive on extensive patronage
from seekers after health and comfort.
-O--
1t Is stated that three hundred mechanics
in the navy yard ut Washington, are to be
turned out, because they are not Republi-
cans. Were we at the South to talk about
dismissing our laborers because they did not
vote with us, it would excite the greatest
Indignation at the North
A Massachusetts, Mayor, nine negro and
eight carpet-bag Aldermen, with not the in
terest of u thousand dollars all combined,
in the city, makes up q pretty municipal
government for Charleston! Can anybody
wonder that regulators and Ku Klux asso-
Citations find existence among people who
are thus insulted and robbed of their go
vernment? Is there q community at the
North that would lie quiet under such in
dignities? 1t is very certain that there is
not one upon which they would be attempt
ed. Still, it is all right with the Southern
people, and they are expected to receive it
quietly, and even love the cowardly hand
that thus smites them in their weakness.
But, one thing is sure, day of retribution
will come, sooner or later.
WE DECL1NE.-The National Publishing
Company, of Atlanta. Ga, has forwarded
us proof sheets of "Pollard's Life of Jeffer-
son Davis. with Secret History of the
Southern Confederacy," with request that
we publish extracts, and take other notice
to extend the circulation of the work We
shall do no such thing. Pollard's 'hsto-
ries" are portraits of his own prejudices
and cranky notions, and not statements of
facts; and not feeling at liberty, as q public
journalist, to propagate Misrepresentation
and ISLANDERS, we can have nothing to do
with the book in question Pollard's late
writings are oil in the interests of the North
-ministering to Northern prejudices and
confirming Northern slanders of Southern
statesmen and gentlemen-and we trust our
people will leave him to look to that section
for patronage of his literary labors
