NEWS SUMMARY.

There were So deaths in New York last
week. SO less than last week.
The North Missouri Railroad was sold at al-
ton on the 18th at St. Louis for two millions.
1t was purchased by Morris X. Jessup, of New
York.
No news has been received at the War De-
partment concerning the killing of Gen. Cook
in Arizona by the Indians and the report is not
credited
The Courier-,JournaL says many Bourbons
say they II go with Democracy, new departure
or not-because they know that they will repeal
the amendments after they get into power"
Certainly-that is the general understanding.
The prominent physician to whom the State
Department sent samples Of the famous herb
condurango, claimed to be specific for can
Ger, have generally made their report to the de-
partment, stating as the result of their trial the
new drug is of.no value in curing his malady.
There is good authority for stating that Mr..
BoutwelPs visit to Massachusetts is to have
quiet and seclusion, so that he can prepare a
campaign speech, to be delivered week hence
in ohio at Cincinnati, Cleveland and other
points. He will reply respectfully to the
speeches of Gen. Geo. w. Morgan.

THE Democratic papers are in the habit
of representing the Republicans as torn by
dissehsions and divisions Matters are not
altogether lovely with them as one would
suppose from their apparent complacency.
The Memphis AUdLdncte, for example,
gives Aleek Stephens the following love
pats:
When Stephens and Sherman agree in de-
nouncing the New Departure programme, the
true Democracy ought to feel happy in hav-
ing Stephens for their color-bearer The most
impracticabe politician in the South, Stephens
has always been; but when he declares that he
is faithful and others treacherous to the people,
he descends to the level of the dirty demagogue.
Stephens need not work himself into passion
while attempting to take the people under his
arms. His leadership has departed, though he
persists in not departing in his political con-
duct, The tenacity with which he clings, with
unsteady grasp TO the shadow of past political
influence is melancholy conclusion to the life
OF the Author of the constitutional View of
the War between the States - He is now the
most valuable auxiliary of the Republican par
ty, and could not possibly do more to secure its
triumph in. Ohio and Pennsylvania, if he were
its sworn ally. w

DEMOCRATIC newspapers pirate continu-
ally heavy about taxes, corruption at
Washington and extravaganza under Re
publican rule. Let all such consider and
answer the following comparisons between
the expenditures of Democratic thieves In
New York and Republican officials at
Washington as made by Secretary Delano
in a speech last week at Sandusky, Ohio:
The secret accounts of the New York City
Government illustrate the yenalty, peculation
and political prostitution which cover the Tam
many Democracy, and render its moral atmos-
phere and presence feculent, obnoxious and in
famous. Here was paid larger sum for re-
pairs, carpets and furniture for county offices.
han the present Administration paid in the
same year for mail transportation throughout
the United States; nearly three times as much
as the entire diplomatic expenses for two years
past; as much as the yearly cost of collecting
the customs revenue; more than all the nliscel-
laneous expenditures of the Interior Depart
ment for either year of the present Administra-
ton. and more than The annual expenses of the
Indian Bureau Here is larger sum paid in
eleven months for plastering than the entire ex.
pense of the United States fer foreign inter-
course during the present Administration and
more foFpiambing and gas fitting in one year,
than the expenses attending all the public build
ings and grounds in Washington City There
was paid more money to three men for such ex-
penditures, in one year, than was paid for the
collection of the entire internal revenue of the
country in any year of the present Administra-
ton; more than double the expense of the Uni
ted States courts for two years, and more than
all the expenses of the Forty-frst Congress.

ONE of the most prominent citizens and
heaviest tax payers in Jefferson county
writes to US approving Col. Baxter's eX-
pOsures of the public printing fraud, and
the CHRONICLE in publishing it. Hesays
he has heard men of all parties express
the opinion that the answers of the Nash
vile papers are a practical confession of
the charges preferred, and that it would
have been far better for them to have re-
manned silent than to put their defense upon
the feeble grounds they assigned.
He says, 81 do not write this letter for
publication, but to let you know that you
have the support of every honest man in
the war you make against corruption"
The man, he says, who Gin these piping
times of peace and high taxes has the
courage to expose fraud, deserves the coun-
tenance of all honorable men,
This is but one of many similar letters
we have received, and we assure the Nash
vile Banner now, as we did Yesterday.
that the "most important work it can ask
the next Legislature to do, is to relieve it
of the grave charges now pending against

LAST week we published an account of
an interview with Hon. Ben. H. Hill, of
Georgia, in which he boldly charged that
it was part of a deliberate policy of such
leaders as Toombs, Stephens and Davis to
embroil the North and South in another
civil war. He was very earnest in his de-
clarations and COVE some very strong reas-
Ons for his belief. Toombs recently de-
clared he knew the Southern people meant
another war. Now comes the New York
Herald with an expose of a secret cir
cular being sent over the country, favoring
a new Confederacy. This document the
Herald thinks was prepared by Aleck.

A Chspter ON Dogs.

At this season of the year, during the
heated term, it is almost impossible to
court tired natures sweet restorer in
many portions of this city on account Of
the noise kept up by bowling dogs. Who
can keep windows closed with the Their
mometer ranging among the eighties,
which, with windows closed, crawls up
to the vicinity Of 9Oo2 This is the ordeal
which the residents Of South Memphis
have to pass through nightly, because
South Memphis is populous with dogs
ours ofhigh and low degree, and certainly
there cannot be less than one thousand
canine nuisances in this pleasant
but dog-plagued locality. Here every
family, both black and white, is provided
with one or more Of these yelping ours
that make nights corridors resound
with the echoes of discordant barks,
sounds that are quickly followed by
other sounds, issuing from the human
face divine, and resembling, somewhat,
impotent execration.
Memphis has, probably, larger COM
parative population Of dogs than any
other city in or out Of the Union. They
run riot in the public streets at night,
unmuzzled and disorderly; but in the
suburbs of the city they hold high car
niyal and bay the moon in the most do
lorous manner.
Can nothing be done to abate this nui-
sance, to break up this discordant ele-
ment in our midst2 Is there no way to
cause the dogs to take new departure2
Our city authorities, in view of hydro
phobia caused by dogs running at large,
will no doubt enforce the dog law; but
this gives but little remedy against the
disturbers of nightly peace. There is
no hope, no relief, unless each disturbed,
sleepy and indignant follower of Somnus
becomes mighty hunter, and with shot
gun protruded from attic window, per-
forms the sacrifcial rite by killing in
the most approved manner these noisy
quadrupeds and sending them to the
shades of Tophet.
