ut Lieut.. COY. Powers uttered IT
! Sardis, Grenada, and probably other
aces, and Il more clumsy attempt
to draw cobwehs over the eyes of
his hearers, it has never been our
fortune or misfortune to read. Its
mistakes are SO patent and SO mum
hsrless. that it would take rs many
columns us his speech fills TO review
lit fully. The errors are not only
these Of fact, hut Of logic also, IL"
psts an expression Of Gen. Scott
Into the mouth Of Horace Greeley,
and he speaks of Kociu-ko as Il.
Hungarian. lie makes the sweep
ing assertion that under Radical
rNle in Mississippi there has not
been n single dctaultcr. In compar-
ing the expenditures Of the Stat"
under Democratic administrations
Ar ten years, with two years Of.
! Radical rule, in order to prove We
wcrs taxed more per capita then
than now, from the expenses of III"
past two years he is careful to de-
duct what he calls extraordinary
expenses, which amount to nearly
the aame rs the ordinary class.
This he is just rs careful not to do
on the Democratic side Of the bal,
ancc sheet. The most transparent
Sophistry, however, Of the Lieut..
Governors speech is that Of his
defense of "carpet-baggcrs,"" Here
he proves too much for his purpose,
and ovrrshoots the mark NJ which
he is aiming. He alIules pathcti-
cally to the prosecutions this class
endnre from the Mississippians,
"hoinc folks" rs he terms them,
and states too that for a half cont
urv, among Ill who have represent
ed our State in Congress, but two
were "nasiycs and to the manner
born" and cites the examples Of
other States. 1t is true Mississippi
is as proud Of her Northern born
sons, rs of those who were her
nursclinEs; they did not com" here
gaping for Office, hungry and raven
Gus. With the first step upon her
soil they we're not clamoring for
and Mrrogating TO themselves
the direction Of public affairs, and
now most of these Northern
born mcn arc the hittorest oppo-
ncnts Of the present class known rs
'carpot-hnggcrs, and would rs soon
flock with them as eagles would
with v%ulturcs. If Horace Greeley, .
to whom the Radical party at the
owes more than to any other
man, is shocked by such a political
deformity, what would 5. $. Prem
tiss, could he rise from his grave,
tell them, as he dared to tell, could
he address them at this moment,
Thore is not n Radical face but
would withor beneath the burning
invective Of that peerless orator,
and yet Prentiss could cHlogize his
native section and Missishippians
would applaud him to the echo.
1t is not because they are Northern
men that u people look upon
these Dalgctty brawlcrs for the
Union with contempt, There is u
class born and reared here who are
no less d~cspicahlo. They turned
againrt their native land for the
same reasons that the others sought
it the two are only held in union
by the cohesive power of public
plumber" and when that ti9 is
~loosencd, there will be n political
revolution that will restore Missis-
sippi to those who should shape her
political destiny.

Tho eliminating horror Of a year
Of disasters is tho unprecedented
destruction ofalmoSt the whole city
Of Chicago. lts progress was al
most miraculous, its demolition sud
den and complete. Three-fourths
of a city Of 100000 inhabitants,
comprising about 10000 buildings,
was, in two days, a mass of smould.
cring ruins; vessels, bridges, and
other adjuncts Of a great city We're
Tapped up by the ~insatiatc ire-HEnd,
as if he was starving for prey.
10000 people are homeless, and
almost parAlyscd with the magni-
tudc of the great terror that envcl-
ops them. The suffering, the drsti-
tuition that must result from this
blow is unparalleled in the records
Of civilization. The three great
fires which have become historical,
those Of London, y. York and Con-
stantinople, other of them cannot
furnish n parallel to this terrible
cOnhagration. The fire in London,
In 1866, destroyed about 1900
buildings, many Of them low thatch-
ed houses and inexpensive, compar-
ed to the palatial stores and resi-
dcnces OF tho Lake city. 1t is
perhaps we'll that the sympathies
of Americans are as quick rs their
vices and extravagances, and the
sudden expression OF this trait will
relieve Chicago from much suffering.
Cincinnati, Buffalo, St. Louis and
other cities have contributed largely
to the relief of the sufferers, other
towns will follow, and as soon us
the energies Of the citizens recover
from the paralysis of the blow,
Chicago will rise like the Phoenix,
and a few years will %oblitoratc all
traces Of this monster calamity.

TEE organization Of the Texas Pa
oi6c Railroad Company, as shown by
our dispatches, was effected yesterday
in New York. The general purpose
OF the ring, into whose hands the
scheme has fallen, may be inferred
from their present relations to great
railways. Scott, next after Edgar
Thompson, is the body and soul OF the
Pennsylvania Central; NeWcOmb di-
reefs tla 5Ortunes Of Louisville lines;
McCOmb wields the Southern Railroad
Association. Not only do we deem
Memphis most fortunate, since New
combs only route to the Pacific lies
through Memphis, but we have at
last an assurance that McCOmbs' rela-
tions to this city have necessarily been
changed. II he and NewcOmb and
Scott cooperate Memphis must be

Be aggrsndized rather than destroyed.
