can be nominated from each division,
and such only should be presented as
will prove acceptable to the rest OF the
State. A State Convention may be
called, and alter the delegates rom
each division present their prefer
ences, ratify the ticket and
bespeak an undivided support from the
Democracy of the State; or there might
he n Convention in each of the grand
divisions, and the candidates OF each be
duly designated. 1t is certainly fortu-
innate that the opponents of Radicallsm
have such broad field from which to
select, but it would be the hight of mis-
fortune to choose men of inferior capa-
city or without prestige. 1t may be that
a fair contest may be waged, but if coali-
tions are formed such as obtained inthe
election of the Judges for Shelby county
Whose commissions, we learn, have at
last been issued), it would not be unat-
tended with danger, and it is OF the very
greatest Importance that no Radical or
ambitious aiiiliating aspirant shall crawl
by any means into seatof the Supreme
Bench Of Tennessee. Let our friends

to have built for himself splendid
abode in Illinois. The money used was
Appropriated nominally for theconstruc-
ton OF the Memphis city Jail, but only
$3.50, 900 was the contract price of this
structure which cost the city more than
$500, 900. Barbour has not only " feath-
ered' but built his nest and If little
brood of Barbours should be hatched
therein, may God pity Illinois. 1t is the
earnest wish of the people Of Memphis,
as we hear from citizens of that place,
that the effect of Thursdays election
NAV be the immediate removal OF al the
foul crew of cormorants and thieves
from that city. They are despised and
detested of ali men, Better people fill
penitentiaries in all States, and if ever a
city deserved commentator forpatience
and forbearance, when grievous wrongs
were borne in silence, Memphis should
have immortal honor. The iron hand of
despotism is at last lifted up. Its most
detestable agents are withdrawn: The
sceptre has departed from Judah forever,
and the whole judicial system is at last
entrusted to men who were born and
raised to reverence truth and honor and
obey the laws of God and country.

WASHINGTON, June THE House has
agreed to consider the Cuban question
Tuesday next. The position heretofore
taken BY the administration is ably sus-
tanned by the minority report from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, drawn by
Judge 0rth, of Indiana, and signed by
four members. They say they cannot
agree with Banks and his associates, but
think the billreported by Orth some time
ago ought to be passed. The bill makes
it misdemeanor to fit out or equip ships
of war with intent that they shall be en-
ployed in the service of any European
prince or state for the purpose of subdu-
ing American colonists claiming indie
pendence, and provides for the forfeiture
of ships or vessels so fitted out or equip
ped.
A dispatch to the New York World
says the Reconstruction Committee have
resolved not to remove the political dis
abilities of any person not petitioned for
such removal. The recommendation of
high officials will not be respected. Those
desiring relief must petition with proper
submission, as each case will be consid-
cred on its merits.
An informal canvass of the House
shows that Whittemore will hardly get
the seat to which the negro constituents
have returned him. The members gene
rally say they cannot consistently vote
to admit when they have voted at the
same session that he was unworthy to
represent the people in Congress. Gen.
Logan said that Whittemore' reelection
is an insult to the House.
Senior Demus, Of the Cuban Junta, re-
plies in the Tribune this morning to the
statement contained in a special to the
evening paper yesterday, asserting that
persons who claim to be acting in the
interest of the Cubans, attempted overt
brides for the recognigtion Of belligerent
rights, denies himself, or any one under
authority, ever attempted such means of
corruption. He claims that the report
is circulated by enemies to thwart the
earnest movement in behalf Of the Gu
bans.

Upon these representations they we're

To the Editor of the Ledger:
A portion Of the columns of the Sun
day Avalanche were devoted TO a dia-
tribe against the professionals forming
the companies connected with the vari-
ETY. halls of this city. The insinuations
contained therein are not double-enten-
ders. but plain assertions, in which 1t
condemns all females connected with the
profession to harlotry and drunkenness,
and the men to eternal loaferism. Now,
as o married man, professional, and a
gentleman, | do not hesitate TO say that
the gentlemans remarks are tissue of
falsehoods (were ! as degraded as he
I would use stronger terms), posi-
bly, caused by this miserable specimen
of humanitys non-success in an en-
deavor to make the said females what he
endeavors to assert they are. AS TO
placing their value, like gauge rule, by
the amount of spirits they can contain,
have no hesitation in stating that the
gentleman must have seen the ladies
through his own gnzzling eyes when in
company with party of his own kind,
who are the greatest curse a theatrical
manager has to contend with. Now, so
far as Mile Aline LaFavre and the Can
Can is concerned, neither the lady who
acts as the principal nor the manager
who puts it on the stage are to be blamed,
as repeated efforts have been made to
run legitimate olio show by the various
proprietors, and many professionals have
objected TO the piece personally. At the
same time there is nothing in it broader
than is contained in the modern bur
lesque or opera beufie as far as the dia-
logue is concerned; and for the dancing,
the various Grand Duchesses, Cloth Of
Gold" and other parties too numerous
to mention, engaged at our legitimate
places of amusement, are full as plain
in gesticulation and style as ours The
only reason for its continued represen-
iation ia that the people will come to see
il when they will 60 10 see nothing else.
