II is charged that the election OF
O'DoNSEL (and perhaps others by
the City Boards was SHE price OF
JOHNsON's election" We understand
that ODONSELL was an opponent OF
JoHNsoN for the MayOralty. Besides,
JOHNSON refused TO indicate q single
appointment or nomination, al any
and all times before his election. He
said bis slate was perfectly bare, with
out a name on 1t. 1t is a singular fact
that O'DoNNELL should be the antagO-
mist Of JOHNSON in the election, and
yet be nominated by JOHNSON as "the
price" Of JoHNsON's election. BY re-
tusing 10 make known a single nOmi-
nation he intended to make, Mr..
Johnson awaited himself o6no mans
popularity during the canvass, and
went int Office on his own merits.
The press and the people should now
aid him 70 the utmost. We care not
what may be the qualifications Of a
city officer, he cannot so well dis
charge his duties, il he Is not cordially
sustained in his efforts to serve the
city. Something more is required
than that he should have a fair chance
and be let alone. Mr.. JOHNSON is
now all the Mayor We have, and the
best we could get. If we wish well to
the city. We shall now uphold his
hands with all u might. Let joint
efforts win prosperity, which divided
cOunsels will mar, though we make
the lest selections Of officers in the
world.

THE facts Of the killing Of the jour
nalist NOIR, of Paris, by Prince
PIERRE BoNAPARTE, have been
placed before our readers. An event
so likely yet to lead to trouble in
Paris is not without interest to our
people. So far, the evidence is on the
side of BoNAPARTE, and many of the
conservative journals Of the United
States, as well as those OF Europe,
have justified him in the hOmicidal
act which has brought only trouble to
him and the French Imperial Gov
eminent. The man ROCHEFORT, the
editOr-in-chief Of the new daily, the
MarseH}aise, who was the instigatOr of
the unfortunate ARRAY, has for a year
past, in the LUaterpc and the Mar
SeillQiSe, made the most Obsc me and
brutal attacks, not only upon the En-
perOr NAPOLEON, (who, as all the
world knows, is vulnerable), but upon
the Empress EUGENIE, a woman
whose purity, whose charities, and
whose goodness has endeared her to
the French people. This "Irrecon-
Gilable," as he is styled, has gone so
far in his coar5eness and vulgarity as
to question the legitimacy of her son,
the Prince Imperial, has charged that
leWdness is n Of her characteristics,
and has questioned her honesty to her
husband. From this he has gone on to
a personal attack upon other and even
distant members of the BOSAPARrE
family, among them Prince PIERRE,
who challenged this disgrace 10 jour
nalism, this ROCHEFORT, who crawled
out OF the dilemma of surrendering
the name Of the contributing editor
who, no doubt, "wrOte to Order' the
article complained of. This gentle
man took up the matter, and sent a
note to Prince PIERRE with the fatal
result to NOIE, n Of the friends of
the editor and bearer of the
note. While it may be ques-
toned that B0NAPARTE should have
visited his vengeance upon NoIR
and his companion, there can be no
doubt that he would have been fully
Justified in killing RocHEFORr on
sight. By doing so, he would have
relieved journalism Of disgrace, Paris
Of brutal ruffian and the world Of one
in the form Of a man, who by his per-
sistent and i~ndelensible attacks upon
a woman, has placed himself beyond
the pale OF public sympathy, no mat
ter what may be his political de-
servings.

THE anal solution Of the problem
OF the reconstruction Of the Southern
States, is likely to be as indefinite 8
work as the reconstruction Of Ireland,
which has been in progress for eight
hundred years. Georgia was not more
than Fest0r 10 her place ia the
Union than she was ruthlessly thrown
out again, and by the votes Of the
very men who had previously de
clared by solemn resolution that she
had satisfied all demands of the Fed
eral Congress, had put herself in full
accord with the spirit Of the age ii. e.
Radicalism), and was therefore en-
titled to tall fellowship in the sister
hood OF States. This last outrage. de-
nounsed as such by even Radical Re
pubIlcans, is to be followed by one
still more extreme, whereby Tennes-
see il 10 be given over to the brute
force, ignorance and cupidity of the
negroes, and a few whites whose
easy conscience ~Teeonciles them
to a complete herding with the
degraded and inferior race. BEN
BUTLER the Beast, forever in
fam0lls on account Of his thefts and
brutaliues ia New Orleans, has solved
the problem Of how to do this, and
proposes to reconstruct Tennessee by
means Of the XVIII Amendment, the
passage Of which was obtained by
force, fraud and infamy. He has in

TIE Merchants Tax bill has finally
passed, and the Memphis merchants
propose TO have a jubilee on Monday
next. II is a matter of generalization
10 the whole public. Our merchants
caIfnow compete with those Of Louis
Vile and St. Louis. Heretofore the
income tax has prevented their doing
50, end those cities have been able
10 uudersel them. They can do o no
longer. The people viii now get
goods at lower prices. Business will
increase, and merchants be influenced
TO come in and invest here. Common
sense legislation is better for the mer-
chants, the people, the cities and the
State. To tax incomes, instead Of
capital, is to discourage enterprise and
the use Of capital. To do that is to
destroy and prevent the creation Of
commercial emporiums. Useful pur-
suits demand premiums instead of
disc0uTagement by onerous taxation.
No wonder our merchants are re-
joicirg. The whole city should re-
jJice with them. The day is breaking.
Tomorrow the sun will shine out.
The country merchants may now du-
plicate in Memphis any bills which

WE learn that il has been the habit
of the police, when making arrests for
triRlng offences, if they found a gentle
man unfortunate enough not TO have
the requisite forfeit money, to lock
him up forthwith, but first compelling
him 10 submit to be searched. This,
we ere informed, has been done here
tofore by negro turkeys, and that the
more worthy the gentleman the more
rudely he has usually been treated by
these dark-colored, brief authority
turkeys. If any of them still haunt
the stati0Rhouses we hope they will
be dismissed Immediately.

Among the schemes of the Rad

one to increase the power of the
party in the Senate, with . view
to Offset changes which may be
made politically against them in

is TO be brought about by cutting
up Texas in two, il not three new

WImpY IN TranhLe.

There is an honorable ? Radical
who r%ejoices in the euphonious ap.
~pellation Of Wimpy, and who has
been recently elected to Congress
from Georgia. He is the Honor
able John A. Wimpy. This indi-
vidual is just at this time attracting
that character Of attention from
the public which is not the most
envlable. An effort is being made
in Congress to have his case re.
ferred to q special committee for
rigid investigation.
He Was unfortunate enough 10
apply, not long ago, in . written
letter over his own signature, to a
"hrm" In New York engaged in
sending out, for a pecuniary con-
~sideration, packages Of counter
felt currency, for 800 worth of
the "queer," stating at the time
that he was convinced that he
could "get off, any quantity of
the fraudulent greenbacks upon
the deluded people of his district.
BY some extraordinary mishap this
letter, combining an amazing
amount of confidence and plain.
tivcness in its tone, fell into
wrong hands, and was published.
As written, it places Wimpy in a
light winch he has fastened to
disaVow. He declares that his
letter to the firm referred to
was intended as q deiusion aud a
snare, whereby the dealers in
counterfeit money we're to be de-
tected and brought to Justice.
But the unusually crcdulOus pub
lie strangely refuse to accept this
version, and insist that the elegant
young man wrote the letter in
good faith and that he intended
to use this money in the Safe.
from which be has been sent to
Congress.
