THERE is a petition in circulation
for the signatures o. our citizens that
will, at the next meeting, be presented
to the Board Of Mayor and Aldermen,
and we hope viii meet with the at
tentiOn it merits. 1t emanates from
the Ri. Rev. Bishop QUINTARD and
Rev. JAMES ]. VAULX, Rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, and
prays the appropriation by the city OF
a piece of ground on Sycamore, be-
tween Main and Second streets, on
which to erect a house of refuge, TO be
under the management of the mem
bers of the Refuge of the Good Shep-
herd, a society that tor some time has
been working faithfully, earnestly and
labOriOusly among the unfortunate OF
our city population. How much good
has already been accomplished ii
would be impossible to compute. Per-
sons representing all the avOcations
and departments of life have been the
recipients of the help of the Refuge,
and more may be, and will, if the
city but encourages the good cause in
which the Good Shepherds have en-
barked. There can be no doubt that
a little well directed help to the Ref
uge will be the means of saving many
from the Jail and wOrkhouse who
otherwise will certainly find their way
there. We urge the petition upon the
attention of the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen As an initial step towards
the establishment of a city refuge and
~refOrmatory.

THE New York Hnperialist asks
{" what are State rights?" and de
mands that a single one should be de
fined. The Philadelphia Age has no
difficulty on that subject, and answers
that the "right of a State to regulate
suffrage as recognized by the Consti-
tuition Of the United States" is one,
legitimate and undeniable, and which
"the people of Pennsylvania viii
maintain" In denying this right,
the HnperiGlist and the Radical North
ern press shake hands. The Imperial
Isl wants gold for the Emperor-that
the greenbacks and bonds should
be paid in gold, while the poor peo-
pie, the soldier, pensioner, widow and
orphan, should take rags. Radical
ism and Imperialism are one, and in
d~issOlubly united.

STOKES BEGGING THE COY


The STOKES stock seems to be get
ting to a lower ebb in Tennessee than
ever was anticipated. He is crying
out to the Government, "Help me
CAssIUs or 1 sink" He should know
something about his own chances in
the State, and his evident alarm shows
that in his own opinion he is in a bad
way. Candidates usually think their
chances better than they really are.
And Us he is no exception to the rule
we see no reason left to doubt that he
is done for-he has received a SENTER
shot. A Washington dispatch of the
24th instant to the Cincinnati Com
mercial says:
To-day POstmaster-Genera Cresyell
received a telegram from Mr.. Stokes, say
ing it was time for the administration TO
speak out and let the people of-Tennessee
know definitely whether Stokes or Senter
is its representative in the pending strug-
gle in their State"
This explains the boutwell, letter,
and the CREswELL dispatch which
we published day before yesterday.
Alas! poor eagle, the bald. Alas!
twin brother of the calf killer. Alas!
poor Stokes. Such conduct is so con-
temptible as to sink below that STAN
dard of responsibility which warrants
a sheer.
Here is a man asking to be the Gov
ernor of a great State, pretending to
seek Office at the hands of its people,
and yet asking, against the free choice
of the people, the influence, power
and coercion of the Government!
True Tennesseeans, men who have a
spark of the spirit of liberty remain
ing in their bosOms, or a grain of de-
cent independence or manhood, would
not vote for him for dOg-killer after
that.
OF all things we have ever heard in
political campaigns, this is the most
shameful. 1t out-herods HEROD, and
beats the devil. 1t is dishonor to
boutwell,, CRESswELL and all con-
nected with it except poor BILL, who
is not in a condition to be hurt much.
Even the Radical Cincinnati CONNER
cial exclaims against the atrocity. 1t
denies that STOKES is any more the
regular Republican nominee than
SENTER, and regards as. nothing the
State Convention which broke up in
a row. 1t affirms that the issue in
Tennessee is universal suffrage; that
both candidates are for it; and that
both argue the matter with pe%rsOnali-
ties which concern themselves rather
than the public, and demands to
know why the officials at Washington
should prefer STOKES to SENTER. 1t
repudiates the idea that boutwell,
and CREsswELL have any authority
from GRANT or the Administration.

yUE ITTTLE ROCK STOCK.

IIIE Ll44LG MN - OCf
1t is due to the First National Bank,
and but Justice to ourselves, that we
should state plainly, precisely and
exactly the occasion of difference be-
tween that institution and the City
Government. We say il. is due by us
because we have made publication in
regard to it which does not as squarely
and fairly put the matter as it should
be. 1t seems land what we now state
is upon the best authority that the
city some year or Sc ago promised to
take up such past due Indebtedness
against her as was held by the Bank,
by bonds at Csc. This promise, made
in good faith, was accepted by the
Bank as inality, but when the time
arrived for the delivery of the bonds
it was found that the city was not pre-
pared to fulfill its obligations. Far
ther time was asked and granted. On
the expiration of the extension it vas
found that the city had parted with
the bonds to E. BROWN d Co., Nicol-
son paving contractors, and therefore
was again unable to liquidate its obi
cations. In this condition the matter
remained until the recent negotiation
for a loan of So, 5000 was offered, when
the bank veryprOperly accepted offers
to receive the Little Rock Railroad
stock as collateral for that amount, as
well as for the $S7, 900 long
past due, and which the city
should have %liquidated months if not
over a year ago. So far the Bank
claims to have been treated in bad
faith, and that it is fully justified in the
| steps it has taken to hold the city to
its third agreement and to prevent it.,
as in the two previous instances, from
violating obligations which it asserts
was solemnly pledged by a majority of
the Finance Committee. This looks
plausible. With the generally loose
way of managing city finances in our
mind we are inclined to give it ere
dence and to regard the Bank as the
injured party. Still, our mind is not
changed in any respect as to the i'm
policy of the city placing its railroad
| stock in a position whence it cannot
be extricated, so long as it can be hon
enstly avoided, nor are we in favor of
that stock being put in the hands Of
any man or men, for the purpose of
controlling or directing the affairs of
that road; and we are still clearly of the
| opinion that if the stock has to be sold
it will be proper, just and right, to put
it up in lots to the highest bidder.
But every point should be strained be-
fore so extreme a measure is resOrted
to. We think the Finance Committee
should hold a meeting at NICE with a
view to do justice to the First National
Bank, and to arrange for the money
needed on a basis that will embrace,
perhaps the cooperation Of that in
stitution and Mr.. BRINKLEE.

WE have heard ola registered voter
who said he should not vote in the
coming election. The reason he as
signed was that he doubted whether
all the formalities of the franchise law
had been complied with in his case,
and he was conscientiously opposed to
violating any law of his State. We
beg 20 ask him whether he ever did
have a right to vote, whether there
was any Constitutional right to take
that vote away, and whether a right
which had been illegally withheld
may not with honesty be illegally re-
stored to him. If a man steals my
horse 1 may take him wherever can
find him, because he is my property.
If the right to my vote is equally
mine, and i~ndefeasible in me, why
may / not take that too? 1t is a sick
ly sentimentalism and not a vigorous
conscience which makes a man
squeamish about the means of regain
ing that which has been wickedly
taken from him in defiance of the
Constitution,

CAPT DE IA JEWS PIONEER
BOAT.

BOAT.
A card appears in another column
from Capt. d. DEHAvEN, addressed to
his friends of the Mississippi valley,
who are not few. Such a nan cannot
but have many friends, for he isa man
Of the highest order Of worth, as a
friend and a gentleman, besides pos
sessing eminent qualifications for the
work he has in hand. His enterprise
is an inevitable success, unless that
which is capable of revOlutionizing
boat building for the Mississippi river,
and of reducing freights and passage,
while it gives greater speed and secu-
rity to life at the same time is to prove
a failure. His is an effort of genius
peculiar to himself, which should
command the encouragement of every
public-spirited man and lover of pro-
gress in science and the arts through
out the country. He is a man emf
nently qualified for what he has I'M
dertaken. He assisted our esteemed
Capt. SHIRLEY in building the cele-
brated Arkansas" which did such
execution on the Mississippi river
during the war, and he built the
Tennessee" at Selma, which, but
for the misfortune of breaking its
back in launching, was the grandest
and most powerful vessel of
war which lOated either in
the Confederate or Federal navy,
and would have whipped the whole
blOckading fleet at Mobile. A per-
sOnal inspection of both warrants us
in declaring that the Tennessee was
equal to a half dozen such vessels as
the Arkansas. Capt. DEHAVEN has
spent his life in river navigation and
similar enterprises with the present,
and has failed in none. He aught to
be sustained by all means, and we
heartily wish him that success his re-
markable merit deserves.

THE C4PITAL

Quite 4 number of Western papers
are stirring up the question of remov-
ing the capital from Washington. A
majority seem to favor st. Louis.
The New York Tribune insists that
New York is the real commercial and
intellectual center of the United
States, and that a removal any where
else will be only and necessarily tenn
porary. 1t nevertheless does willing
Justice to u little neighbOr st. Louis,
and says:
asst. Louis is a very nice place. 1t con-
tains some estimable old families who
might teach the Congressman manners.
But we fear that the rE4son why Chicago,
and Hannibal, and Oshkosh, and PrOmon-
tory Station, and the other principal cities
of the West are so ready to yield IT prece-
dence in this matter, is that they have no
fear of its rivalship in any other. Theo-
reticaIly, il is all very well to put Con-
gress out in the rural districts, and expect
honorable members to grow in virtue bY
the smell of the COWS and the new-mown
hay, and by contact with a bold peasan-
try, their country's pride. Practically,
however, we know very well that rustic
simplicity flies the approach of legisla-
lures, and unless we can plant them in a
busy, prosperous, ready-made City, they
Will soon be surrounded by a bogus me-
trODOlis Of dram-shops, gambling hellS,
claim offices, and clearinghouse. II
Congress went to st. Louis, it would have
nothing 10 do in its hours Of ease but
stand on the levee and watch the ship
ment of breadstuffs. If it went to Chi
cago, its sole amusement would be look
ing at the Lake tunnel and getting di-
vorced. Cincinnati has no genteel family
amusements except pOrk-slaughtering,
and Oshkosh can only entertain its guests
with statistics of its own greatness.
