A Coop SErL.-Some two years ago
an advertisement appeared in one OF the
New York papers stating that any one
who would send 25 cents and return post
age fine steel engraving of Gen. Jack
son would be forwarded to the person so
sending. A lot of Fairbanks hands, at
St. Johnsbury, admirers of the old gen
efal dubbed together and sent on several
dollars in lump, with orders for the en-

sr6fIiQg to promise, but proved to be two

head thereupon. The boys were sold

HORRIBLE STORY.

The following, telegraphed from Wash
ington to the Louisville Ledger, under
date of the 9th, is specimen Of the
horrible stories manufactured to serve
political, personal and villainous ends;
Senator Osborn, of Florida, who lends
his Senatorial frank to Alberger, for the
purpose Of franking letters and swind-
ling circulars throughout the South, has
arrived here full of venom against the
Florida Ku-Klux, and expresses his de-
termination to use his Senatorial inhu-
ence with the Government to have mar
tial law declared, in Jackson and Cal
houn counties especially, without delay.
He says that citizens from jackson
county testified before the Ku-Klux
Committee, giving the particulars Of
more than a hundred and fifty murders
committed in that county within the
past year, and indicated the names of
many Of the leaders Of the ku-Klux,
and that these witnesses are oil at Jack
sonyille yet, fearing the vengeance of the
Ku-Klux if they returned to their homes.
Osborne says that among the documents
secured by the Ku-Klux Committee dur
ing the visit to Florida was diary OF
the late lamented Dickinson. Said diary
contains a fearful record Of Ku-KluS
outrages, of which Dickinson had per
sona knowledge. The blood-thirsty
Senator called on the President to-day
for the purpose of having the suspen-
sion Of the habeas corpus proclamation
sseed at once, but somehow or other
failed in his object.

LONDON, December 2.-Blegg, one OF
Prince of Wales grooms died at San
brigham yesterday of typhoid fever.
he was close attendant Of the Prince.
This increases the anxiety for the
Prince condition, who was considerably
worse last night. The symptoms are
aggravated, and his physician appre-
bends collapse. He passed feverish
and restless night. The bulletin states
that the fever continues, but there are
no further unfavorable symptoms.
MADRID, December 2.-There are ru-
mors that the English and American
Governments purpose Intervention in
the Cuban difficulty. There is strong
probability of special session
of the Cortes being convoked to
devise means for firmly establish
ing Spanish supremacy in Cuba.
1t is stated that the ministry will
probably convene the Cortes and issue
a decree empowering Amadeus to use
all power necessary to complete the sub
lection and crush the instruction.

WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The Pres
ident's message viii not be completed in
time to furnish copies to the press be-
fore Monday moon. Copies will be fur
nished to the agents Of the Associated
Press and the American Press Associa-
ton on Monday, simultaneously with its
delivery to Congress, to be telegraphed
over the country.
Secretary Boutwells report will not
be completed by Monday. Secretary
Robson report is completed, but thus
far be has declined to give copies to the
press in advance. General Cresswelrs
report will be sent by mail to the various
newspapers, tonight, to be published
when the Presidents message is deliv-
cred to Congress.
Vice President Colfax called and paid
his respects to the President to-day.
The interest on the called FIVE per
cent bonds, being the balance of the
first series Of the issue of 81, ceases
today. The payments upon new five
per cent. bonds have come in with I'M
expected promptness. The coin needed
for the payment Of the six per cent.
bonds is already provided. tits not an
ticipated, however, that a very large pro
portion Of coin will be required for the
redemption Of SlOO,OOO,OOO Of six per
cent bonds. 100000 dollars Of gold
have been paid on account Of cash re-
demptions, which amount covers all the
bonds presented for cash payment on
both foreign and domestic accounts.
Most Of the 100000 Of 5-2O's called
in for December have been taken up by
American and European syndieates;
these will be used in the settlement Of
the new 6ves. Il is, therefore, prob
able that e very lqrge amount Of addi-
tionsl gold will be required TO close the
transaction.
W. d. Wallack died this an at Cul-
pepper, Virginia, aged about 6fty-eight
years He was formerly proprietor and
editor Of the Washington Evening Star.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-Satsumas Royal
japanese troupe will give a grand matt
nee to-day and closing perform
ance this evening. Those who have not
witnessed the wonderful performance Of
the Japs can have an opportunity OF so
doing this evening Many of the bal
ancing feats are truly wonderful and ex-
cite the admiration Of all beholders.
THE MoULToN CONCERTS Next Mon
day evening the initial concert of the
Moulton troupe will be given at the
Memphis Theater. In addition to the
fair cantatrice the following eminent
artists will appear; Mr.. Brookhouse
Bowler, tenor; Mr.. James M. Wehli,
pianist; Sig P. Ferranti, baritone buffo;
Mr.. George W. Colby, musical director
Of Mrs. Moulten it has been truly said:
This country has produced several
fine female singers, and among them we
may mention Miss Kellogg and Madame
Van Zandt besides a number Of charm
ing amateurs who have voices and mu-
steal ability enough for successful pro-
fessional career if they chose to enter
upon that. There appears to be some
thing in our climate and the nature of
American women favorable to the de-
yelopment of the finer qualities of the
voice. Patti was an American girl,
though born of foreign parents, and now
we have another native star in Mrs.
Moulton, who promises to take the high
est position in opera as well as IN the
concert room after some training. In
the quality Of her voice Mrs. Moulton
stands scarcely second to any prima
donna in this coantry or abroad. Then
she has the advantage Of being very
handsome, Of charming expression
fine figure and having great taste, which
always prove attractive to the public.
BRooMs.-Grand vocal and terpsi-
chorean attractions will be presented at
the Jefferson street Opera House this
evening. Manager Broom seems deter
mined to keep 6rst-cass variety show
by presenting new stars every few weeks
during the season. This evening there
will be fine performance, the pro
gramme being most attractive and coz
tanning many novelties.
OLYMPIC VARIETIEs.-Th big calcium
light, on the corner of Washington and
Main, indicates the location Of the
Olympic, presided over by Manager
Lusk. Tonight a splendid and attract
i've bill will be presented, the perform
ance including songs, dances, negro de-
lineations, lightning changes, operate
selections and the attractive Can-Can,
gotten up in gorgeous and magnificent
STYLE.

COMING TOGETHER.

AT the time Mr.. Fillmore sent an ex-
petition to Japan, that country was only
accessible, commercially, to the Dutch.
That expedition forced on the Japanese
authorities a concession to the United
States that had been made to mo other
power. Speedily expeditions of SINH
lar character we're sent out by other
governments, and, in time, treaties of
commerce were made. The result is
beneficial to that country, as it intro
duces there the arts and civilization Of
Europe. Embassies have come from
Japan, travelled over a portion of this
country and of Europe, and gone home
to tell their Government what they saw.
AS one result of the opening up Of that
country to the world students are arriv-
ing to obtain European or an Ameri-
can education. Quite number arrived
at New York yesterday en- route to Eng
land to be educated. Steam, railways
and telegraphs are bringing the human
family in closer proximity, and develop
ing the fact that, though separated for
untold ages by oceans never trayersed,
they have worked out the great problems
of life, if not to the same extent, GER
Iainly in manner not dissimilar. Com
ing in contact, as the races of the world
are by means of steamships and tele-
graphs the benefits of interchange OF
opinions and productions may be imag-
ined. We send missionaries to the heather
and ask them to demolish their wooden
gods and accept ours. As to the fruits
of our religion they have had only the
testimony OF few men, uncorroborated
by facts. Travel, commerce and educa-
ton will now confirm what the mission
aries have spoken. When the intelli-
gent men from the far East come among
us and see our great cities, our wonder
ful network of railways, our churches
and all the achievements Of our civiliza-
ton, they will first wonder, then reflect
and then act Christian churches, if
not already erected in Japan, will soon
spring up. For the unlocking Of japan,
and for the results that have, and are to
follow, Mr.. Fillmore deserves more
credit than any other man. When the
people of that country discover the ben
eGts he has conferred upon them by
bringing them into contact with a higher
civilization and better religion, it is
not improbable that they will regard
him as a benefactor, and erect monu-
ments to perpetuate his memory.

The Mercantile Library

To the Editor Of the Ledger;
l am glad to see that the Library
question is again being agitated by the
Chamber Of Commerce, and it is to A.
hoped that the report Of that publH-
spirited gentleman, Capt. Geo W Gift,
Of the Mercantile Library Committee,
has been accepted in good faith by
the Chamber, and that il will be acted
upon at once The stubborn truths sci
forth BY this gentleman are recognized
by all. The "gilded halls OF vice" are
nightly thronged with men Of all classes,
many Of whom, as has been said, 20
there for want Of something better to
dc" There are hundreds Of young men
in our city who are unblest with family
ties, and are without the restraining in
huences Of the home-circle, and the cir
eumstances are certainly mitigated. I'M
der which some Of these stumble into
the haunts Of vice. They must have
some recreation after the busy scenes Of
the day, and they accept such as is prof
fered them-the excitement Of the gam
ing-table, the beer saloon, etc. Let these
young men feel that the community has
an interest-an dcfiDe interest-in their
welfare. Let Memphis establish a pub
lie library that will do credit 10 her So
600 population; render the rooms pleas
ant and attractiye-oder some encouT-
agement for moral aud literary culture,
and instead Of offering a premium for vice
by fostering these institutions which sap
the life and ambition Of the young, and
On our prisons with criminals, let her
do something TO eradicate the evil; as
George F. T. says, do something 10
keep h-ll out Of the people, and in
fntare. work upon the principle that an
ounce Of preventive is worth pound Of
cure" I'believe that every young man
in the city feels a deep interest IN the
Library movement, and viii ahxioasly
await Is further development, fraught,
As Il l., With incalculable benefits, not
slone to them, but 20 ell classes Of the

JUDGE NELSON.

In the retirement Of Judge Nelson
from the bench of the Supreme Court of
the State, the public has lost an able
public servant, and the light Of the mind
of a profound jurist. The whole people
will regret the loss of his services, and
wish that the circumstances that i'm
PEELED him to take that course had not
existed. Judge Nelson is one of the
great men of America. His talents
would adorn any position, whether that
Of a cabinet minister, Senator, or Judge
of the highest judicial tribunal of the
land. He is at the same time states
man, an orator and jurist. he is elo-
quent in discourse, profound in thought
and exhaustive in argument Our State
has no greater ornament, and it IS to be
hoped that he will reappear in public life.

LOYAL MODS.

The Goodman, Miss, Star says: No
fact is more patent than that negroes at
every voting precinct in the State were
deferred from voting the Conservative
ticket by Radical intimidation. They
were threatened with all manner Of harm
in the event they voted with their former
masters against the corruptionists in
power. And when one more bold than
than his fellows dared to vote according
TO his conscientious convictions, he was
Immediately set upon. Why not pros
ecute these negro mobs for intimidation
The severe election law Of Congress was
intended for white men, but it can be
turned on the blacks. We suppose, how
ever, that they could not be convicted,
.s the testimony of white men would go
for nothing in cases Of that sort.

The Cincinnati Commercial asks:
4" Since the expenses of royalty in Eng
land have been figured up by Sir Charles
Dixie, has any American been at pains
to calculate the cost Of Presidential
election2 The New York Bulletin, in
view of the extravaganza and corrup-
ton which characterize almost all depart
ments of our national government, is
half inclined to come to the conclusion
that our republican system is failure.
1t says we have all the evils consequent
on a Democratic form Of government
without any of its advantages" For
proof of this, see South Carolina.

BLAIR.

Hon. Montgomery Blair has broken
ground for William Cullen Bryant for
President against Grant. Bryant is
editor of the New York Evening Post,
is very old, and is one of the best of the

and recently has sent many daggers into
the side of the occupant of the White
House. Now that the Democracy are out
of the way, the Radical enemies of
Grant will have fair field.
