AN IMPOSITION.
other Sections Sending Their Halt,
Lame and Blind to Memphis.

Since the organization of the Memphis
Confederate Historical and Relief Assoc
citation, it seems that the sufferers of
seven States around have turned their
eyes toward this city as Mecca to WHICH
they need make only one journey in life
that they may need no more. The Asso-
citation has been used thus far only to
assist the living, though in time its menu
bers hope to gather some materials
for the future historian, and to
pay some honors to the dead. 1t has
been literally sustained by the people OF
Memphis, and its charities are cheerfully
extended to the needy soldiers of other
States, and the widows and orphans Of
such, provided they live here. But it
was never intended to establish here an
asylum and invite all the disabled sur
vivors of the war to come here for help.
The Association has never received a
cent, as far as we know, from any source
outside of Memphis. And yet the Re.
lief COMMITTEES is daily appealed to for
aid by the sick and sore.eyed and ghast-
ly objects of charity from other
States who, in many instances, say
they were sent here by the people of
other sections to get assistance from the
society" We would ask the river and
the interior towns to take care of their
own paupers. Some they have sent here
are genuine objects of sympathy, and
others are mere beggars, who want plenty
to cot and no work. 1.-THE society" has
its hands full, and will be obliged to con-
fine its operations to those who legiti-
mately belong to Memphis. When an
Arkansian, a Mississippian or an Ala
banian belonged to one of our Tennes-
see regiments, of course he or his family
are proper objects 10 come within the
line of assistance, if they require it.
The association has q rule allowing
citizens who are not members to vouch
for applicants. 1t is rumored in select
circles that this business has been carried
too far in certain cases, and that unless
the money is refunded there will be an
exposure through the columns Of the
press. Ours are always open to expose
rascality.

Me,.ucboIy suicide.

The Water Valley (Miss.) Valtonfan,
Of Saturday, says
On Saturday morning last, in the
neigbborhood of Mr.. John Ragland,
some FIVE miles from this place, trans
pirad one OF those melancholy scenes az
which humanity shudders--a man taking
his own life. A Mr.. B. G. Mullins shot
himself TO death with pistol. 1t seems
that he had stopped over night. at Mr..
Rsgland's, aud in the morning he started
on in the direction Of his home, perhaps
in Lafayette county, but soon reiut ned,
and while in the yard of Mr. X he
pulled off his coat and then lay down
uponit. Taking pistol from his poke,
be remarked that nobody should shoot
him." and deliberately shot himself
before Mr.. Raglaud could interfere with
him.
II is supposed the unhappy man was
suffering from mental arrangement,
caused, perhaps, by heavy blow upon
the head, as partially healed wound was
noticed by the board of inquest, upon his
head, together with the recent loss of his
money. Mr.. Mullins was about thirty
years Of age, and we learn leaves a wife
e. mourn bis melancholy and unnatural
death.

Ho11ASDEHs AND PunrrANs.-Gov.

HoL1ANDEEs AND PUR1rANs.-Gov.
Seymour, in his scholarly address at Cor
nell University, said, in pleasant tri-
bute to New York and New England:
"We want clear views of the leading
traits of the first colonists. Sometimes
we hear painfully absurd speeches from
the pulpit md the rostrum upon these
subjects. The Puritans suffer most in
this way. There was something heroic
in their self-poiscd characters. They had
what will always command respect-earn-
estness. 1t was carried to excess, and
made them harsh. But an earnest man
is always in some way q useful man. The
vigor of character, the appreciation of
education and religion derived from tho
Puritans, arc manifested in every quar-
ter of our land and private enterprises.
Our people required and possess the
characteristics derived from both of
these sources. He who would seek to
deprive the Hollanders of the Puritaus of
their just share Of venoration, is un
worthy to be the descendant of eithor.
The statesmen and the poets Of New
England strive to perpetuate the memory
of the Pilgrim Fathers, to record their
sufferings, and to hallow the very spot
upon which they trod. Plymouth rock
has been made sacred shrine where
they annually pour forth their gratitude
for the civil aud political blessings which
they enjoy. But how little is known of
tho moro varied and more interesting
to the shores of our own
State. While we honor the Pilgrim
let us not forget the Hollanders,
who made early settle,nents upon our
shores, aud who made the harbor of New
York place of refuge from bigotry, in
tolerance and wrong"

The CHINESE QUESTION. Either all
men are created equal or they are not:

requires this nation to open its doors to

else does not require it to admit the
three or four millions OF malodorons

hold. with the philosopher Sumner, that
it Will be wholly impossible to draw any
line Of demarcation between black, vel
low and red. Wo invited Spotted Tail; :;
we offer him the right hand OF fellow
ship, and see no objection at all to Red
Cloud or Fun Hoam being President of
the United States. But Fun Hoam has
the best chance, because his country
mon here will soon out-number the red
mon by thousand to one Our favor
itc, therefore, is FINN Hoam.
BY all means, let us rcup the fruits Of

TIE TREATY OF PRAGUE. BY the
treaty Of Prague, which was concluded
August 30th, 1866, Prussia agreed that
II the people OF Schleswig-H Holstein
should elect to Unite with Denmark they
should be cedcd to that country; that she
would abandon and destroy the fortifi-
cations Mt Luxembourg before taking
possession Of Hanover. Franco claims
that Prussia also agreed to abandon
Mnyence when she agreed to cede to
Austria the territory South OF the
Main.
All these pledges Prussia has thus far
neglected to fulfil, though she has with
drawn her troops from Luxembourg and
made pretence of dismantling the for
tres, which, however, she doubtless in
tends instantly to refit and rc-occupy if
war IN the present case be declared.
