LOTTERIES. -Rumors are ahoat to the
effect that the present grand jury will
take new departure and present all
parties who have INDUCED in raffles, lot
teries, etc., in saloons, at festivals or
other places. The theory of the law on
the subject of gaming is to prohibit the
practice, but even with faro and other
kingly games the law is impotent, and
no other result than revenue is derived
from indictments. To present chance
takers in lottery gotten up for benevo-
lent or charitable purposes would be un-
worthy of grand jury composed of
representative men. There can be no
foundation for the rumor other than
speculation on the part Of those circu-
lating it and giving it credence.

REFRESHING During the warm sea-
son, which is now upon US, means must
be resorted to for keeping cool and com.
Portable. While we are endeavoring to
secure comfort, our health must not be
neglected. 1t has been said that beer is
the most cooling draught, but expert
ence has proven to the contrary. Beer
not only heats the blood, but is quite in
furious to health at this season. Good,
pure soda, from a first-class fountain,
where the best of 81 fups are used, is
the healthiest, as well as the most invig-
Grating and cooling Of drinks. Charles
Howard, the great Main street confec-
toner, has the means of furnishing the
best soda, the most delicious ice.cream
and sherbets; also the finest of cakes,
candies and CONNECTIONS. Call and test
Charles good things. If you do not
know where to find him, ask the first

rania patans eseaur,

The new depot Of the Little Rock sail
road building, at the foot Of Washington
street, is being covered with the Eagle
Patent Roofing by Mr.. E. g. Johnson,
patent roofing manufacturer. No. 2773
Second street. The roof of the building
is two hundred and fifty by fifty feet,
over which the felt is spread and the lat
ter covered with composition and sand.
The advantages of the Eagle roofing are
manifold, the principal advantages
being-it will not burn, it will not run
from heat, it will not crack from cold, IL
will not color the water running off II or
flavor it in the least, and it is the cheap
est roofing known. The Eagle roofing
has become very popular in Memphis,
many of our finest buildings being COW
cred with it. 1t being fre-proof and so
regarded by the insurance companies,
its advantages over slate and tin are ap-
parent on account Of its greater cheap
ness. The process by which it is put on
roof is very interesting. and worthy the
attention of those erecting houses
throughout the city. Mr.. johnson will
take pleasure in explaining everything
concerning the Eagle roofing to all visi-
tors. Go and inspect it Immediately.

FROM WASHINGTON
Back Fay OF Government, Employees.

Washington, September l3.-Congress
at a late session passed an act providing
for the settlement of accounts for services
of laborers, workmen and mechanics
employed by or on henalf of the govern
ment between the 25th of June 1865, the
date Of the eight-hour act, and the 10Th of
May, 1869, the date of the proclamation of
the President concerning their pay, the
settlement to be made without reduction on
account oil the reduction of hours of labor
when it shall be made to appear that such
was the sole cause of the reduction Of
wages.
To-day, in response to an inquiry on be-
half of the laborers, workmen, and mechan-
les in the Washington nayy-yard-and the
principle will apply to other navy-yards-
Commodore Case, acting Secretary of the
Navy, says that applications for the
amounts due them should be made to the
fourth auditor Of the treasury. The settle
ment of the accounts of workmen under
other branches will be made by the rsspec-
tive auditors having them in charge.

The Nathan Murder--Evidence Against For.
roster.
Neio York, September 13.-It is reported
that the authorities have evidence which
fully establishes the connection of Billy
Forester with the Nathan murder. 1t is
said that on the night of the murder OF
Nathan prominent sporting man saw an
individual in the vicinity of Nsthan's house
whose movements were very suspicious.
He watched him, and presently two men
came down the steps of the Nathan man
sion, who were joined by the mysterious
man--the three going towards North river.
Early the same morning three men entered
asaloon on Eighth avenue and left bundle
which proved to be bloody shirt. On in
vestigation, it was found that woman up
town had washed this shirt--which was
peculiar one--for man now in the Connec-
ticut State prison, who was ''palu of
Forrester's. The sporting man above al
luded to at once identified the picture of For
roster as that of the man he saw in the
vicinity of Nathan's house.
Wednesday next George Ellis, now con-
fined in the State prison, will be brought
here and will testify that the ''dog" which
was used in numbering Nathan was stolen
from Schenck's house by Forester and
himself, and that both had used it in va
rious burglaries.

CoLoRED Sons OF TEMPERANCE
The Richmond correspondent of the Nor
folk Journal says the granting of charters
to Colored Sons of Temperance by Grand
Worthy Patriarch McCabe has demoralized
the various divisions in this city, and that
there are rumors to the effect that meet
ing of the Grand Division will be called to
depose Mr.. McCabe, that numerous resig-
nations of members have taken place, that
the question of surrendering charters has
been raised, and that the project of an
independent order of Sons Of Temperance
has been revived.
We know nothing about these matters,
but we do know that it is our deliberate
Judgment that colored man has as much
right to be temperance man as any one
else, and that the action of Mr.. McCabe in
issuing charters to the colored men of Vir-
ginia, is approved by all unprejudiced peo-
pie. The opposition to these colored organi-
cations comes with bad grace when the
blandness with which coored men are well
coined into political organizations is taken
into consideration. l.aa

the weather was decidedly uninviting, there
was full attendance OF the true Republic

say, is one of the most active and indefati-

Working.Men's saving Banks.

The present is the age of corporations.
Capital has found the benefit of association,
and has not been slow TO avail itself of it.
Hitherto, however, it has been the capital
of the rich man which has been rendered
productive; that of the mechanic or laborer
has either been squandered, allowed to lie
unproductive, or loaned to already well-to-
do capitalists. Seeing the giant power of
associated capital, the workmen of the
world manifest a disposition to associate
also, with the view of putting numbers
against resources. Hence, to certain ex-
tent, the foundation Of the Internationals.
The lesson of association has been learned,
butn the proper course in which to direct
its power, aaa %
All capital is merely the result of ac-
cumulated savings of labor, concentrated
in the same manner as driblets unite to
form springs, springs to form rivers, and
the latter the ocean. Cents added become
single dollars, single dollars hundreds,
hundreds added become thousands, and SO
on till we arrive at thousands of millions.
Did the workmen follow the example of
the capitalists, they too, would become
capitalists. The richest men in the land
have started on the road of life with no
capital but their intellect and labor of their
hands. psp a6
e And even now the united wealth of the
workingmen of the United States far ex-
ceeds that of the capitalists in the land. In
fact, portion of that wealth is constantly
made productive by the capitalists them
selves. In the savings banks of New
York and New England, five hundred mil
lions of the workingmen's funds are lent to
the manufacturers of those sections, who
thus reap profit from the wages they pay.
Let us see what a capital the workingmen
of the Union could create in twenty years,
il they established savings banks under
their own control. There are seven and
half millions of,them in the Union. Any
of these, if temperate, economical and pro-
perly disposed, could save three dollars a
.week--the single man by himself, and the
married man with the aid of his family.
This, on compound interest yearly, at ten
per cent, would in twenty-one years reach
the sum of $40, $50; so that if he began at
nineteen, at forty he would own SO much
capital. The aggregate. saving Of all, with In
terest added, would in that interval amount
to the immense aggregate of eiehty-one mil
lions of dollars The banks established could
lend workingmen, for purposes Of eo-opera-
ton, i'll oneyear, one thousand one hundred
and seventy millions, and every year an in
creased sum. Tho worllinen of Germany
have 1872 such banks, having capital Of
S7S 900, 900, and the Grand Central Indus
trial Bank of Berlin frequently loans as
much as 81 100000. Thus, the system is
not merely speculative ; it has be,n tried
with success in Europe, and why can it not
be tried in Americap-S. r. Cb1ou;cZe
