; DR. CHICKKRING ON Rev.
DR.. Chickering, the former paster of High
street Church, preached at the Second Parish
| yesterday morning, at the West End Chapel
in the afternoon, and delivered lecture on
Temperance at the Plymouth Church in the
evening. At the evening lecture very large
congregation was in attendance. The rever-
end speaker alluded to the sin and shame that
had reigned in Washington in the past and
narrated incidents in the lives of certain i'm
portant personages that showed what terri
BILE effects had resulted from their use of liquor
He said that Washington Of the present day
was by no means as bad as it had been painted
and would compare favorably VITA any other
of its size, and this result was attained by the
beneficial effects in part of refOrmatory insti-
tutions. That the sin of Eve transmitted to
us is but legacy Of sin and shame, and that
we should endeavor to keep our bodies as we'll
as our souls pure and undefiled, and thus neg
alive the power of this legacy That the intel
lect is priceless gem, and without it life
would be useless, while the body is the shrine
of the moral affections and should be carefully
protected; it is also the temple OF the Holy
Spirit and should not be defled in defiance OF
the commands of Holy Writ; and it is also
specimen of Gods workmanship to be pre-
served intact to the best of our ability. The
various habits and methods by which the body
is defiled were eloquently aud forcibly define
ated; the habit of using strong drinks OF any
kind tends in a remarkable degree to bring
about this sad result, and the dangers attend
ing upon this course are fatal in their charac-
ter and should be guarded against with the ut
most care and attention. The dangers of mod
crate drinking were very forcibly portrayed
and illustrated by many touching anecdotes.
The speaker closed by quoting portion of the
address of the President Of the Congressional
Temperance Society in relation to the duty of
the christian church in this matter.
TRIAL TRIP OF STEAMER JOHN Brooks
The John Brooks trial trip on Saturday last
was an exceedingly satisfactory one The ma
chnery has been carefully overhauled under
the supervision OF that excellent engineer, Mr.
f. M. Foote, SO long known on this route, and
did its work as well as human skill could make
q magnificent engine do it. The Brooks left
extremely pleasant sail past Portland Light re-
turned to Atlantic wharf at II o'clock.
The patrons of this elegant steamer will bear
witness that she was never in finer condition
than at present Nothing can look more ele-
CANT and home-like than her airy staterooms,
Of which she has between sixty and seventy.
She has been newly fitted throughout with a
double complement of linen, and the company
are determined that the complaint of unaired
linen shall not be heard concerning this line.
To add to the completeness s of the Brooks it is
only necessary to state that she is still COM
manded by her popular and experienced COM
mander, Capt. j. J. Liscomb, and has the same
efficient corps of officers as last year.

NEW YORK, March l.-James Kelly,

Patrick Wilson and Thomas Scully,
while at work in Seventeen street hoist

pins which held the ropes suddenly broke
letting the cross beam supporting the

head, killing him instantly, and also
striking Scully in the breast seriously
iniuring him. Both were taken home
by the police.

the Mendon murder have found true

Frederick Myer, at Sing Sing, on the
18th ult, by shooting her with pistol.
1t is believed, however, that he cannot

himself have taken an unfayorable turn.

WASHINGTON.
Butier and His Criminal Code Bill
tor the SOuth-A Close Vote-Clay-
ton i'm Congress.

WAsHrSGToN, March For weeks the
Democratic members have been fearing
that Butler would bring up his bill to
establish criminal code and reign of
terror for the South. Heretofore the
appropriation bills have been in the way,
but today Butler got the floor and re-
ported a bill. OF course there was i'm
mediate resistance on the Democratic
side, led very judiciously by Messrs.
Beck and Fernando Wood, members of
the Reconstruction Committee. The bill
was about to be read, when Mr. Cox, of
New York, officiously moved to reject It,
the very motion Of all others calculated
to consolidate the Radical forces. The
motion was lost and the reading pro
ceeded with, and was half through, when
all of sudden Wood moved to suspend
rules and pass a bill to repeal the laws
imposing duties on foreign coal. The
effect on the House was like a bomhS
she'll. The motion lost precedence of
pending business. The Radicals were
much annoyed, but did not dare to vote
"no" on rising vote The motion was
carried by 80 to g. Butler lodged, and
so did many Of the Eastern members,
where the cries Of Cheap coal is all
the 90. The bill was finally passed by a
vote Of l42 to ll5; but its passage by
the Senate is very doubtful indeed. All
this took up q good deal Of time. Mr..
Butler then offered resolution to sus-
pend the rules and make his bill a
special order until disposed Of. This
required a two-thirds vote, and the re-
suit was l27 to Go, lacking one vote Of
two-thirds.
This abominable bill would have
passed but for the action Of such liberal
Republicans as Farnsworth and Fitch.
There we're several Democratic absen-
tees. No thanks for this great result
are due to such gentlemen as Voorhees,
Of Indiana, and Burr Of Illinois, who at
the most critical juncture have aban-
doned their legislative duties and gone
home. Had they been here their votes
would have neutralized the votes Of four
Radicals. There are a class Of Demo.
cratic members who habitually neglect
the sessions Of the House, but draw their
pay with great regularity.

TWELFTH VOLUME OF THE PUBLIC
LEDGER.

With this number of the PUBLIC LED
GER its twelfth volume commences
From the day of its origination, its his
tory has been one of success, and
through all mutations of parties, of bus
mess, and of popular opinion, 1t has
prospered and become one of the fxed
institutions of Memphis. Previous to
the commencement of its publication
there was void in the journalism of
our city, and the verdict Of the people
IS that the PUBLIC LEDGER exactly
filled it. An afternoon paper was
something they needed. 1t so hap
pened that the manner in which
the PUBLIC LEDGER was conducted met
their approval and commanded their
patronage. The commencement OF a
new volume affords us an appropriate
opportunity to make an acknowledgment
to the public for the persistency with
which It has sustained us. In no re-
spect shall the PUBLIC LEDGER OF the
future be inferior to the PUBLIC LEDGER
of the past. Experience has enabled us
to make many improvements, and a
more accurate understanding of the
wants and temper of the public will
serve as valuable guide. The tone OF the
paper will not, under any circumstance,
be lowered. 1t will be its care and study
TO exclude from its columns that which,
by implication even, may offend sensl-
bilities the most delicate. 1t will not
pander to any depraved taste, nor stimu-
late the violent passions of the populace.
While il will endeavor to afford the pub
lie the cream Of the news Of the day, 1t
will devote its miscellaneous space to
literature of the highest order. In brief,
the PUBLIC LEDGER will endeavor to
amuse. to entertain and to instruct the
people. As heretofore, it will speak its
sentiments freely upon all subjects
whether political, social or whatever
they may be. The low price at which IT
is published places it within the reach OF
all. For the terms, reference is made to
the head of the second column on the
first page. Its circulation is very large,
and as a medium of advertising, it is
unsurpassed by any journalin the State

B.
was not a Democrat in the mere party
sense of that term, but as all Americans
at and after the organization OF the gov,
eminent were Democrats in the real
sense Of il, Washington and the old Fed
eral party were class OF Democrats
differing in some respects from the class
headed by jefferson. Washington pre-
sided over the convention that framed
the Constitution. The Constitution, the
.Teffersonian Democracy will not deny,
established Democratic Government
Washington not only assented to that
Constitution, but took an oathto support
il History does not show that he ever
advocated any other form of government.
If he had been an aristocrat in the po-
litical sense of that term, there should
be proof to establish the fact But
il is nowhere recorded that he ever
advocated government of mobiles.
Such a government is an aristocratical
government, and those who advocate 1t
are aristocrats. Does the World think
that Washington was an advocate of that
sort of government 1t may be true that
in his bearing there was something that
resembled the manners of an aristocrat.
But it is impossible that a great man
shall not know and feel that he is supe-
rior to the masses of mankind. Feeling
so, is it not impossible, unnatural to
conceal the fact2 The aristocracy of
Washington was the aristocracy OF
the oak that is, from circum-
ference, diameter and hight, the mon
arch of the forest. The lion knows
by instinct that he is lord of the
animals, and asserts his authority. Wash
ington knew that he was the greatest man
on the continent, both by nature and by
circumstances. He asserted the fact,
not by words, nor acts, nor assumptions,
but by demeanor gentle, calm, digni-
fed and SO lofty that no man could dis
pute his claim. If this constitutes aris-
tocracy, then it is unfortunate that we
have in our day so few aristocrats.

The next issue of the WEEKLY PUBLIC
LEDGER will be the beginning of the
second volume. 1t contains the most
important matter printed in the daily,
and is filed with great variety, en-
bracing that which relates to commerce,
news, politics, literature, and questions
of a social character. 1t is a large
paper, printed on clear and beautiful
type. and furnished to the public at the

,rated great extent Of country, and
achieved popularity not surpassed by

The dispatches say terrible scenes are
enacting in Paris. The people are mad
dened. They derive desperation from
humiliation. The outrageous demands
of Prussia have driven all classes to des-
peration. France is proud country,
and to be oyerrun and trampled is an
event she never looked for, and would
not have believed though an angel had
descended from heaven and asserted the
fact. The determination of the Prussians
to march through Paris has produced
the widest excitement and stirred
the last drop of bitterness in
the French heart. But Prussia
persists, and the population of the city
sways to and fro, mad, Infatuated and
desperate. That the Germans will be
resisted in some way in their march is
certain, and that hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of people will be killed, is
probable. But the infatuated people
cannot perceive it. Prussia is exer-
cising the rights of conquest. She has
right to dictate her own terms OF
peace, but the extravaganza of her de-
mands is piling up wrath against wrath
Henceforth the French and the Germans
are irreconcilable enemies

As for Washington's birthday, the
celebration Of it appears to he falling
more and more into decadenee year

George Washington was altogether too

The New York Tribune the great Or
gan of the eternal haters, makes this adj
mission:
Firstly. That the next election will be
very closely contested--more closely
contested than any election since 1874,
when the Democrats were triumphant.
Secondly. That the Republican party
are undecided as to the policy of renom-
mating General Grant for their candl-
date.
