4 MEETING in Jefferson county last
Monday appointed delegates to the Demo-
ocrati Convention for this Congressional
District to be held at Sparta, on the 9th.
This is the only mention we have seen
made of the time of such meeting, and
presume it is mistake. The delegates
from Knox county have not been appoint
ed, unless it was doIe in the celebrated
secret meeting of Monday last, which is
not all improbable.

And hats, on heads like his, would grow
Particularly harum-scarum.

Who changed so quick from blue to yellow,
And would from yellow back to blue,
And back again, convenient fellow,

The German Nation Arming-An.
other Invasion of France Proba'
Bile.
New York, February PA Herald
special from Berlin says: tstEfff
The German nation is aruing again
and assuming a war aspect rapidly.
Two corps of the Imperial Prussian
army have received orders from the war
office to hold themselves fully equipped
and in readiness to move immediately
when directed The reason is found in
the great and unusual activity now per-
vading the French political circles at
Versailles, and consequent apprehen-
sion on the part of Germany of the pos
sible occurrence of sudden change
not only in the ministry but in the form
of the government of France. Prussia
reserves to herself the right to judge of
and pronounce on any new government
which may succeed that of Theirs, as
to whether such new government is
likely TO execute the treaty of peace and
discharge the French obligations to
Germany. Should Prussia decide un-
fayorobly another invasion of France
will follow.

rHE PARTY LASH.

The war between the Grant ring and
the Trumbull-Sumner-Shurz ring Of
the Radical party has grown SO hot
that fierce war is to be made by the
former on all office.holders sympathiz-
ing with the latter. Grants Washing
ton organ says: Many oficeholders
have been corrupted with the prevalent
cant of the party whip, and need whip
ping back into the traces. 1t is notorious
that persons favored with the confidence
and best gifts of the administration have
been decidedly shaky in their allegiance
to the Republican organization that has
made those ingrates SO fat that they
have kicked out all discipline. There
have been patience and long suffering,
and we believe the largest liberty; but
there must be limit to all things, and
men sustaining the detection of Shurz,
Sumner & Co. must chose quickly whom
they intend to follow and serve. Urea
son to party cannot be permitted among
men holding place right here under the
shadow of the capitol. Good nature
and sufferance toward such men is most
imbecile and can no longer be admitted
as wisdom. Men can change coats no
longer easily and comfortably; bat they
must not be permitted to wear our party
uniform while holding communication
with the enemy.

oHuRcB nIsRsTAB1IsHMENT,

The New York Herald is sanguine
that the Irish disessablishment has
given an impetus to the agitation for a
disestablishment in the sister island
which cannot long be resisted, especially
as the proposition involves the dismissal
of horde of lazy ecclesiastical blood
suckers, and the saving of from fifteen
to twenty millions of dollars a year to
the national treasury. Thus step by
step, England is on the road to the d.
vine rights of the people, and no hedg-
ing by Her Majesty's government on the
Alabama claims will serve to arrest this
revolutionary movement" This is de-
cidedly Hersldish. Nothing but revo-
luton greater than has taken place for
years can accomplish so great result.

A cANnIDATF OUT.

On Thursday last the National Labor
convention, sitting at Columbus, Ohio,
nominated Judge Davis, of the supreme
court, for President, and Joel Parker, Of
New jersey, for Vice President. Judge
Davis has for some time been favorably
spoken of by the Liberals as a candidate.
He accepts. Itwould prove happy de-
liverance from the evils that afflict us,
if such man as Judge Davis could be
elected President. If the Liberal con-
vention at Cincinnati shall nominate
him, the Democracy will rally to his
support without regard to platform, and
without asking any questions. Some
ultra Democratic would-be leaders possi-
bly, may prefer Grant, but they cannot
carry the people with them. The truth
is, the Democracy have no leaders now.
They have suffered long and honeyed
words will not cure the wrongs they en-
dure. They know it, and the men who
once led them have no more influence
with them at this crisis, than the men
who did not lead them have.

THE INCOME TAX.

A Washington dispatch says; The
treasury department has given the nee
essary instructions for the collection of
the income tax for 1871; and the asses
sors of this district to-day commenced
to distribute blanks for the assessment.
The rate, as is well known, is two and a
half per cent. on all income above two
thousand dollars per annum, from which
may be also deducted all State, national
and municipal taxes, losses during the
year, and losses on real estate since
December 81, 1867; also rent paid for
homestead, for usual repairs, for inter
est, and interest of dividends from which
tax has been withheld. The special
taxes on pianos, watches, etc., were
abolished last year, and not included,
as heretofore, in the assessment.

Alns. Poor Yarick p,

Since the city authorities AID the Grim
inal court have determined to suppress
gambling or to regulateitso that it cannot
hereafter be carried on as publicly as any
legitimate business, many members Of
the sporting fraternity sit and weep like
Marius over the ruins of their Car
thage, or. have gathered up their lareS
and penates in the shape of chips and
faro boxes, cut cards, keno traps, and
have left the bluffs without casting even
one longing, lingering look behind =
except when the police we're in sight.
Keno, probably the most dangerous, Sc
ductive and pernicious game ever intro
duced into Memphis, has been driven
into the suburbs Of the city, where it
ekes ont precarious existence beneath
the light Of a dark lantern. Faro,
the royal game, the lineal descend
ant Of the Egyptian monarch. still rears
its crest in our midst, but not in the
gorgeous aud Haunting style of yore.
Behind belts and bars, and guarded by
pickets, it is always in condition to re-
treat on the first alarm. Gambling al
the faro table, like many other social
evils, cannot be entirely suppressed SC
long as this world holds together, Judge
Flippin, Of our criminal court, has en-
acted rule that will go far to relieve
Memphis Of crowd OF sports who
have drifted into our city from St Louis
Chicago and other points. Heretofore
when a gambler was found guilty OF
an indictment and fined, he generally
escaped both Imprisonment and fine By
taking the iHsolvent debtors oath-th'
ten days notice during which tint
he would, according TO law, hav,
had to remain in jail being gen
orally waived by the attorney general
Consequently the sport" walked int
court after the conviction, and Will
wearing heavy GOLD watch and chain
diamond pin and studs, a hundred dol
lar suit Of nobby clothes, took the insol
vent debtors oath, swearing to his pov
erty and pauperism, and marched out I
free man, to engage again in his brace
and confidence games in a few hours
Judge FlippIn has ordered the clerk o
his court not 70 enter up the Judgment
in such cases until the 6ne and cost
are paid. This order is followed by al
execution, which ifnoi settled, acts as I
highway TO the county Jail. No wondet
the new rule causes a hegira from th'
Mecca Of Memphis to some out Of thu
way Medina.

The city has commenced filing deeds
for property bought in for taxes in 1870.
Forty or more deeds have already been
fled for record in the County Registers
Office, and we are given to understand
that the number will be added to at the
rate of about one hundred week, till
the whole number to which the city is
entitled are entered up, Unless re-
deemed, as no doubt many will be, the
city itself will be the most extensive
property holder within its own limits.

That many Of the accidents fatal to
life on railways, in consequence ofbroken
rails, could be averted by diminishing
the speed, is beyond cavil, The St, Louis
Republican says that midwinter acct
dents on railroads will not be seriously
diminished in number until general
arrangement is effected between the
companies for reducing considerably the
running time during the cold season. If
this was done throughout the country,
business and travel would learn to ac-
commodate themselves to the newregime,
and the inconvenience would be only
temporary.

MEMPHIS THEArER. -Lotta's benefit
Hast night attracted larger audience
than ever before assembled within The
walls Of the theater. A galaxy Of beauty
adorned the dress-circle and pargnette
and gentlemen stood in the aisles al
closely packed as sardines in a box
The play, Heart s-Ease, never before
presented in Memphis, was admirably
suited to Lotta's attractive and capt.
waiting style of acting. She was admir-
ably supported by Mr.. Ketchum and
other members Of the company. At the
matinee to-day Lolita will appear in the
Little Detective, and this evening in
Heart s-Ease, which will be her closing
performance in Memphis.

sidered equal to Booth or Fechter, hav-
ing acquired a high reputation as an
actor in England. Australia and the

THEoDoRE THOMAS CoYcERTs.-The
musical sensation is the Thomas con-
certs, next Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, at the Greenlaw
Opera House. The musicians, sixty in
number, are all of the best musical tai
ent in the country, and together they
form grand orchestra. The treasures
of musical works which compose Thomas
concert programmes are so varied and
rich that to speak Of them with true ap-
probation would require more space than
is allotted to us. Suffice it to say, that
every moroccan, small or large, so-called
classical or modern, captivates the listen
err whose attention and interest.
Brooks OPERA HoUsE.-The Victo-
rifle family at Broom's have proven a
great attraction. They certainly merit
much appreciation, for their perform
ances are frst-class. The thrilling feats
of Henry and Oscar on the horizontal
bar are excellent, and their terrific leaps
in mid air simply astounding. Neil
Rogers, one of the cleverest delineators
of Ethiopian character in this country,
is becoming great favorite, and is no
small card at Broom's. Altogether,
Broom has an excellent company and
we'll deserving patronage.
The OLYMPIc.-Manager Lusk seems
determined to keep pace with the times,
and hence his variety company is one OF
the best in the South, and capable OF
giving mirth-provoking entertainment
every evening. The Olympic is always
well patronized because the company is
always good one and the performance
such as to interest and entertain.
