A Little story of the President.

The San Francisco Bulletin tells pretty
good thing about President Grant; GA
tolerably well-known lawyer of San Fran
ciso visited Washington recently, in the
course of trip through the Eastern States.
He put upat Wizards, and having seen pref
ty nearly all the lions there are about the
capital, concluded that it would not do to
60 home without calling on the Presto dent.
He looked up Congressional friend whom
he knew to be acquainted with Gen. Grant
and at once suggested that he should take
him to the White House and introduce him.
81 want to see the General said he for

course he won't recollect me; but then,
thought might as well see him. ls
"They called at the White House that
evening and found General Grant disengaged
and pleased to receive them. Our friend from
San Francisco was introduced. Anybody
from California was always heartily welcome
to the house. the General said.
"After INDUCING ia the usual common
places, the visitor ventured to remark: a

that is some time ago, and of course you
don't recollect me-

THE Republican party, having harmonic
ed the Constitution and laws with the De-
claration of Independence, had still much
to do. Its first duty is to make sure that
the cause Of liberty and humanity will hold
what has been gained, and retain it to bless
the worlds future Its after work is as
party of progress and reform. The devel-
opment of the country in all interests, is SO
intimately connected with its purpose and
mission, that it is impossible to separate them.
Every interest of labor is involved in its sue
cess Great improvements. i.t~ssEiai de-
veloyment, enlarged channels of commerce,
diversity. of occupations; better and nearer
markets; the promotion and fostering of
schools, universities, and religious, institu-
tions of all denominations: scored regard for
the public faith and credit; retrenchment of
public expenses to- the lowest possible
figures; reduced taxation. and an honest col
lection of the revenues. These are among
the great object of the organization, and
there will be no backward step. 1t looks
trustfulIy to the future, and has faith in the
intelligence of the people, whose reasonable
expectations it has never disappointed.
Such is the party that is now appealing to
the country for new lease of power, and
1t will not be disappointed 81 b

TIIE LEDGER.
New ana BeautiruI Enlargement; 90
the Public Ledger Tomorrow.

To-day the DAILy PUBLIC LEDGER,
which has been so generously patronized
for the last FIVE years by the people of
Memphis and surrounding country, will
fall into the hands Of its many readers
in an enlarged form. The paper will be
one column wider and nearly the width
of column longer, making an addition
of about seven columns of reading mat
ter. This enlargement is solid EVIL
dence of past success, and is made to
meet the increased demands upon our
advertising columns. Hereafter we
shall not often lack for space to
give the local and current news of the
day, as well as correct financial, com
mercial and river reports. Our facilities
have recently been increased to an ex-
tent that warrants us in assuring our
readers that they will be kept fully up
with the times. Our daily circulation,
we are satisfied, is equal, if not superior,
to that of any contemporary in the city;
and being the only afternoon paper, it is
more universally read than any other
paper. Our circulation on the afternoon
trains and boats is large, and on the in
crease; and the WEEKLY is rapidly run
ming up list of which we have cause to
be proud The various departments OF
the paper are conducted by men OF
journalistic experience and ability.
The war dispatches published every
afternoon, owing to the difference
between time in the Old and New
World are usually up with the
news published the following morning in
other papers. The LEDGER occupies a
field without a direct competitor, and
has some advantages not possessed by
any other city paper. We depend
not alone, however, on the advantages
of position, but upon fair enterprise,
fair dealing and hard work. Past
achievements have enabled the proprie-
tor to purchase the best presses type
and other material that money will com
mand, to secure the services Of the best
printers engaged in the "ait preserva-
tive" and every other accessory of
live, first-class daily newspaper. Having
weathered many storms and hard winds
of adversely and gained smoother seas,
we widen our sails in propitious
breeze, run our colors aloft and ask only
a legitimate success.
