by Colonel Tracy, the agent for Train
Southern tour. Train lectured in st.
Louis last night TO an immense audi
ence, and was unanimously voted for as
President in 1872. George Francis is a
most popular lecturer, and will appear
before Memphis audience during the
present month.
The argument of counsel in the in
junction case Of the City VS.. McCombs,
closed last evening in the Second Chan
Gerry Court, and the papers were taken
by Chancellor Scott, who will announce
his decision on next Monday. Some
months since the city enjoined McCombs
from selling or transferring $25O,eO
worth Of stock in the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad. The case was ar
gued ON motion to dissolve the injunc-
ton by Vance d Anderson for the com
plainants and by Judge Phelan for the
defendant.
The verdict for 100000 in the great
gas case, rendered last evening and re-
ported in the LEDGER, was the subject OF
general comment throughout the city.
Gayoso gas stock is reported to have
gone up in consequence, and the pro
prietors Of the Gayoso company intend
resuming work Immediately. 1t is un'
derstood that the defendants against
whom the verdict was rendered, Messrs.
Murphy, Williamson, and Tomeny, are
protected and Unidentified against ulti'
mate loss by the Memphis Gas-lighi
Company, which they represented in the
suit. e.s 81 rtt
The Bolivar Bulletin Of the Sd says
Last Saturday the citizens of Macon
and vicinity subscribed $4,000 to
the Memphis and Knoxville narrow
gauge railroad, and the commissioners
of Fayette informed gentleman of this
place that the sum would be increased to
$4,000 or $780, 900 in three or four days
from that time. Thirty-fve or forty
thousand dollars has been subscribed by
the citizens of Bolivar, and all along
the line of the proposed road substantial
aid is pouring in at such a rate as to
warrant the belief that the cars will be
running from Memphis to Savannah
long before the 2jth of December, 1872"

Card from WI. V. Roherts.

MEMPHIS, November 4, lSll.
To the Editor Of the Public Ledger;
The Memphis Daily Press of the Sd
instant, and the Daily Appeal Of the 4th
instant, see fit to attack my private
character in a malicious manner to me
unexplained. The foundation of the
sensational reports, at least in one in
stance, cannot be traced beyond the
brain Of these local sensationalists. 1t
has been very unfortunate for me, be-
fore and since my trial, that part Of
the press of this city have continued to
publish such slanderous articles as that
which appeared yesterday and to-day.
should think that the press of this city
ought to be satisfied of my innocence
after passing through the ordeal, that
have, but as part of the press are moi
satisfied | propose now to give them q
taste OF what have had, viz: an inquiry
by jury of our countrymen.

Georgia street Methodist Church.

1eOrShb StFccB mcthOuhbN Ch0ENns
This Church has been erected on Geor-
ga and Tennessee streets during the
past few months, through the energy and
perseverance of the Rev. W. NJ. Patter-
SON. pastor of the Methodist City Mis-
sion. In the face of difficulties, this
beautiful edifce has been completed, and
on last Sabbath afternoon was set apart
to the worship of Almighty God, by a
solemn form of dedication. The ser
vices were conducted by the Revs. Dr.
Slater, A. l.. Pritchett, W. c. johnson,
and the pastor, W. NJ. Patterson. The
interest felt by the community in this
enterprise was evidenced by the presence
of large congregation, and by their
giving, on the occasion, five hundred
dollars, which was called for to pay all
balances due on the building. Services
viii be held regularly at this church
every Sunday afternoon. Sunday-School
at pm, and preaching at 4p.m., by
the pastor.

This English Postal Cards.

The English experiment Of the hall-penny
postal card system has proved to be very sue
cessful, although it is not without its features
of evil. These cards are cream-colored, and
about the size of an ordinary envelope. Upon
one side are printed directions to the writer OF
the message, the head OF the Queen, and the
coat.of arms OF England; the diverse eide is
left blank for the message. When the card is
written, it is put in the postofice or In the
nearest lamp-post box, and in two hours Is de-
livered at It's destination, II anywhere In Lon
don. All this costs only halfpenny. or one
cent Of our money. Within the last six months
5s, ,4s5, $50 cards have been sold in England by
the government, giving revenue of nearly
sI22,O00. The Objectionable features Of the
postal card is, that the messages written upon
them are necessarily not private, and that the
cards may be used-as they frequently are
for the purpose of sending vulgar and libellous
messages to IndIylduals by anonymous scrio-
blera, who may have spite against the recip-
lent OF such messages. When man can safely
be mean for one cent, average human nature
finds it difficult to resist the temptation.

with completely in and assisting at tfe incen-
d,.r,es and assassiratlons which took place
he,ween the 22d and 23d of May at the Pazaee
ot the Legion of Honor and at a number of
nriyate residences which were named in The
charge. The prisoners "were women upon
whose faces" says correspondent, 'debauch-
ery had placed its irremovable stamp; the
Youngest is twenty.four years OF age, and the
eldest thirty-nire. They were all dressed ID
black, or some very dark-colored stun'
looked unhealthy, and seemed to take more
of the interest of a lookec-on in the trlai
than that OF the persons most concerned. Inc
women denied the grave charges brought oy
the prosecution, and claimed to be cdh'snte'eS
and onbt1ancieres in the service of the Com
mune. The evidence against them was mass
of heresay, fact and surmlse, with nothing Oh
any importance proved, which would not
have been admitted as testimony In any
American court. The prisoners were all, with
one exception, unmarried One of them was
dressmaker, another pasteboardmaker,
another seamstress, and two were laundress-
es. The prisoners were found guilty by the
court, and three were sentenced to death. one
to transportation to fortress, and the last to
ten years solitary confinement. 1t is thought,
however, that these sentences will be commut-
ed 10 transportation for life. The prisoners
received their sentences in tears, but did not
attempt to speak.

The Columbfa Ring.

The Columbia Radicals are in hot water.
It seems that the city officials, oil Radicals,
have determined to erect new City Hall
and Market, for which they propose to pay
e1orbitaBt prices. The contractor for the
City Hall is Mr. Allen, the Radical senator
for Greenville County, whose price is sl3S.-
900, although it is believed the work can be
done for SIS, 1000. A similar margins found
in the contract for the new market, and the
Ptenir, backed by the taxpayers, demands
that the plans and specifications OF both
buildings be submitted TO committee OF
citizens. We are afraid that the
movement-al although eminently proper-will
come to naught. The tbick-hided Radicals
scout public opinion, and, as long as their
pardoning lrierd Scott is Governor, Go not
even fear the Penitentiary.

A Pathological Problem.

The intelligent follower of the events OF the
last war In Europe will recall some of the more
noticeable pathological difficulties that lay in
the way ofa clear and Impartial understanding
of who was who and what was what, among
the individuals and localities that figured In
the conflict. These troubles may always be
anticipated in the case OF foreign war, the
mores the pity; but 10 the case of some foreign
wars, the difficulties arising from the atrocious
spelling of some of those foreign words would
be immeasurably increased. Here, for instance,
comes the reported Russian preparations for
war against Austria. What may be anticipated
should these two nations with their unpro-
nounceable proper names, and names Of towns,
come into collision, Already we are told that
the Russian fortiHcations at the railway sta
tions OF Radziuillow and Wolocysk are rapidly
proceeded with, and that the former Is the last
station towards the frontier Of the-pause and
rehect-Brest- Berdyczew -Radziwlllower Rail-
way. Ifthese things be thus at the beginning,
what may be expected before the campaign Is
over? Let the Imagination rest for moment
upon the result OF forward movement OF the
Russian army into Gallicia, with its nest Of lin
quail impossibilities, and picture 1t as skirmsh-
ing at Zaleszekzyky, fighting pitched battle
at Brzezany, retreating from szczurowice. and
