Carl scauEz's Platform.

Thereasons assigned by Carl SchuTz,
Horace Greeley, Chief Justice Chase,
and others, for opposing the nomina-
ton and reelection of President
Grant, may be stated as follows:
1. They are in favor of general am
nesty.
2. They oppose all military coercion
bills, and all interference with the
States by the Federal Government.
3. They denounce the corrupt and
oppressive governments of the South,
which have been foisted upon the
States and the people by the Radical
party for partisan purposes.
4. They demand a reform in the
administration of the Government, so
as to extirpate the great evil and dis
grace of personal and partisan favor
itism, nepotism and jobbery.
5. They oppose the speculative de-
sign of the purchase and annexation
of an island in the tropics, inhabited
exclusively by African ~barbarians.
6. They demand g reorganization of
the Government, on a basis which,
whilst recognizing the charges lo1i-
cally and inevitably flowing from nj
civil war, preserves the original rights
of the States to their own self-govern-
ment, and to all sovereignty not sur
rendered by the constitution to the
General Government.
Z. They oppose all personal and
military government, and view with
the disgustof sll honest and patriotic
-oen the debasement of the,Chief Mag
istracy C the Republic to the mere
purposes Of in6syidual and family adj
vancement, by the 6eeeptance Of gifts
and favors and the traffic IN g5TI
ment Offices and patronage.

TIE officers of the new Gas Com
pany have made their first report to
the stockholders, and contrast the
old and new methods Of gas manufsc-
ture. 1t seems that the cost of the
production Of the two kinds of gas,
tat made from coal and that from
naptha, is as SO 400 to 4S 5-1OO. In
other words, the new gas costs very
nearly one-hslf less than that made
by former methods from coal. Such
facts are Of infinite value to progress
sive, e~nterpris:ng towns like Water
Valley, Meridian and Oxford, show
ing, as they do, thst rates OF insur-
snee may be so lessened by substitute
ing cheap gas for coal oil that gas
works cost less than nothing.

COLONEL JOIN nAxrER.

In another place a political letter
appears from Colonel John Baxter, of
Knoxville. Whatever may be said
Of his idiosyncracies, he is~ confessedIy
one of the ablest lawyers and sturdiest
thinkers Of Tennessee. It is said in
Knoxville, by people with whom
Colonel Baxter is brought in hourly
contact, that he has contemplated so
long and with such unutterable aver
sion the corruption Of the series of
masters who have reigned in Eastern
Tennessee through ten years past,
that adherence Of REGULATION and Off
cial dishonesty has become with him
a mOnOmania. He made war upon
the manipulators of Tennessee rail-
road bonds, but investigations begun
by Legislative committees were never
concluded or perfected. He has been
violently assailed by the press, and re-
covered a judgment against a news
paper for twenty-five thousand dol
lars, and has sued others for alleged
defamation. Such a man will
have, whether deserved or not,
bitter enemies, and in the contest he
wages against them we propose to
have no part. His assailants are DO
tent and WELD agencies Of aggression.
which he will find it difficult to resist.
He is not the less a marked character
in our State, and surely entitled to an
audience. OF course we do not APP
prove all that he says, but his utter
ances bear marks of earnestness, and
freedom of thought and expression is
promotive Of intelligence leading
surely to the discovery of truth. II
we declined to publish such a letter,
full Of thought and giving reasons for
the writer's faith, mel might say that
we questioned, to the extent that we
differ from Colonel Baxter, the sound
ness -four own convictions. The very
same reason impeIs Us 60 publish the
speech Of Mr.. Groesbeck.

THE NEW DEPARTURE FROM THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


THE Episcopal Church which,
through good and evil report, through
revolutions of public sentiment, and
through civil war, maintained its or
g~anization, polity and doctrine intact,
is at last feeling the effect Of the say
ing, that "a house divided against itself
cannot stand" Between the extreme
ritualists, on the q hand, and the
Union Prayer-book New Departure
lists, on the other, the venerable
Church, so intimately interviewer
with English history and literature,
is likely to receive a blow that will
impair its usefulness, if it do not lead
to permanent divisions. Indeed, steps
toward the latter have already been
taken, in Chicago, by the rector Of
Emmanuel Church, and in New York
BY DR.. Thrall. These gentlemen OBJ
iected to the use of the word "regen-
Grated" in. the bsptismal formula,
and feeling that they could
not consistently perform the services
OF that church with conscientious con-
victions in opposition thereto, they
honorably resigned their %pastOrates
and withdrew from the priesthood
and membership Of the Episcopal
Church. In doing so, both gentle
men have been fully sustained by
their congregations, who have fol-
lowed them in their new departure.
Welded to the imposing and beauti-
ful ritual of the Episcopal Church,
they adhere to the Common
Prayer Book, corrected to suit their
views and make the ritual acceptable
to all the churches that are usually de-
nominated by Episcopalians mon
Conformists." Commencing at so in
fl .eutial sources in the two leading
cities Of the United States, this new
departure from Episcopacy cannot
fail to induce followers equally dis
tinguished elsewhere. We deeply re-
gret to chronicle this disruption Of the
Episcopal Church and hope that the
good sense of its distinguished men,
bers lay and cleric, may prevail for a
restoration of union and harmony. |

TAXATION to the amount of twenty
five million dollars annually is en-
forced by the corporate authorities of
New York, a sum greater than was
annually expended by the Federal
Government when the population it
ruled was nine times greater than that
of the ring-gOyerned city. Other com
mercisl centers may derive invaluable
lessons from calamities that have be-
fallen the great emporium of Ameri-
a trade. The city government Of
Memphis should be so conducted that
rates Of taxation may be the lowest
possible. Every dollar extOrted from
taxpayers must be added with inter-
est 70 the price Of goods sold and an
e-xtravagant, reckless, or incapable
municipal administration, would rap.
idly destroy our growing trade. It
thus becomes a plain duty to invest
with official power the,purest and best
men and those skeenly interested in
the city's good fortune. Taxed and
plundered, as New York is to-day,
Memphis can sell goods at lower rates
than merchant princes Of Broadway,
and it becomes a palpable necessity
for us to solicit place-holders whose
character and interests most certainly
assure a wise and economical admin
istration Of the city's finances.

THE BANKS AND OUR MERcHANTs-
The new regulations OF the banks,
defining modes of eHecting the trans
fer Of cotton to New York, are the
same with those in vogue in New Or
leans and other commercial places.
Approved there, they will be here.
Sound, substantial men have little or
no reason to complain, and the banks
have so suffered at the hands OF the
unsound that they we're forced into
this reform. In truth, the habits OF
our substantial old buyers and sellers
had run so long in the same groove
that the change is disagreeable, and
msinly because it is achange. The old
coat is very comfortable, even when
so threadbare that it is no longer tit to
be worn. The conduct of the banks,
so each officer and director asserts, is
indispensable to their security, and
for this reason, thought beget a share
OF inconvenience to many, must be
deemed final. To maintain the sound
ness of financial institutions is a chief
duty of a mercantile community.

IF there be two hundred good fell
lows who would have "soft" places
under the city government it is hardly
wise or proper to sacrifice to the inter
est Of these few the well-being of sixty
thousand inhabitants of the city and
its suburbs. The fortunes of Memphis
may be defined for halls century by
the next municipal administration,
and it is the plain duty Of every
voter TO inquire primarily as to the
fitness Of each aspirant to Office. This
duty is no less incumbent upon the
poor than upon the rich. Taxes are
paid at last by tenants, and he only
robs himself and children who aids in
elevating a reckless or unworthy adj
venturer to Office.

THE New York press say that the
Staten Island Ferry Company will be
driven into bankruptcy by the claims
for damages of the sufferers by the
Westfeld explosion. Under the stat
utes of New York not only the
wounded survivors, but the heirs of
the killed, csn recover from the cor
poration, and it may be expected that
the aggregate verdicts in all these
cases viii reach an enormous sum. If
the company shall thus be compelled
to forfeit all its property and the fran
chise itself, the penalty Of the horrible
massacre will be visited upon those
who deserve it, and operate as a
warning upon the managers of like
companies in the United States.

TELEGRAPHIC dispatches Of yester-
day morning announced a decline in
Tennessee State bonds of ten cents on
the dollar. The expression of popu-
lar will in Tennessee, in reference to
the reduction of the rate of taxation,
OF which the Geographic dispatches
from this State have spoken in New
York, could not, alone, have begotten
such q sudden and heavy decline.
There must have been a large num-
Der Of Tennessee bonds thrown upon
the market, or, the operators in the
telegraph Office have made mistake.
The certain reduction of the State tax
to something like rates established
before the war, fifteen cents on the
500, viii very certainly have an effect
in Wall street and cause the rapid
sale of Tennessee securities by pres
ent holders. Even here, this result is
anticipated and bOndholders and their
organs evince not a little nervousness.
