The nomination of GREELEY seems,
thus far, TO have madeno sensible impress.
sion upon the colorel voters Of the South.
All the accounts represent them as stand.
ing firm by the Republican party, which
gave them their freedom and secured to
them the right Of suffrage. However
they may beimposcd upon in many re,
spects. they have not been deceived in
this, and, except in a,lew places, and
then mainly under the fear Of tue XII.
Klux prosecutions, they have steadily
adhered TO, the organization, to which
they owe all that they have acquired, and
which alone can protect them init. On
doubledly there is much following OF
GREELEY in the South; but 1t is all
Democratic, US 1t is, indeed, mainly, in
the North. The Democrats, having
nothing TO lose in the political struggle
risk nothing in going for any candidate.
But there are among them men who be-
lieye in the doctrines OF the Democratic
party, and who will not support a candi.
date who has been lifelong opponent of
these principles. These may not be many,
but We shall be greatly mistaken If they
do not outnumbcr the Republicans who
vote for him. q

We take great pleasure In copy

ments expressed, and will add that
two more clever, upright and ac,

II is with pleasure we recommend
the Worsham House 20 the public as
one Of the best conducted and most
desorvedly popular hotels in the
West. il has reputation ial and
near as the most desirable place to
stop at IN Memphis. In proof of
this, last week al tho meeting of the
stockholders of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, it brought to-
gether a large number Of persons,
with their families, from Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, and
other States, aud in one day there
we're over three hundred arrivals ut
the Worsham. THIS goes to prove
that this house is not only popular
at home, but abroad. The proprio>
tors, Messrs. White & Schloy, are
thoroughly familiar with the bust
ness, and understand all the famil,
arities, intricacies, pleosantries, and
accommodations oi comfort and CON
venience, without which hotel can
not be popular They seem to an
ticipatc aud crafty the wish Of every
guest. Besides this, they were gall
liant soldiers in the Confederate mr.
my, all through tho war, aud have
endeared themselves to the South.
crn people, with whom they have n
very extensive acquaintance, by
their many acts Of kindness, They
are, indeed, gcntlcmen of the first
water, and their clerks, Messrs. Cox
Rhodes and Williams, are always al
their post of duty, kind, attentive
and obliging, and the nero fact that
they are in the Worsham House il
a recommendation Of their many
gentlemanly qualities. The rooms
in this house are large and commo
dious, the beds comfortable, and The
table supplied with everything deli
cious that love or money can buy
And our word for it, more eau be

Which wish TO remark
And my language is plain,--
That for ways that are dark
An. for tricks that are vain,
The beathen Chinee is peculiar,

And shall not deny

Wha. that name might imply
But his smile it was pensive and childlike,

1t was August the third;
And quite soft was the skies;
Which II might be inferred
That Ah Sin was likewise;
Yet he played it that day upon William
And me in a way despise.
Which we had a small game,
And All Sin took hand
1t was EaehTe. The same
He did not understand; =.
But he smiled as he sat BY the table,
~ With a smile that was chndlike and bland.
Yet the cards they were stocked
In n way that grieye,
And my feelings were shocked
AT the state Of Nye's sleeve
Which was stuffed full Of aces and bowers
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
BY that heathen Chinee,
And the points that he made,
We're qsite frightful to sec,--
Till at last he put dowua right bower,
Which the same Nyo had dealt unto me
Then looked up at Sye,
And he gared upon me-
And he rose with sigh,
And said, "Gah this be?
We are ruined BY Chinese cheap labor, -
And be went for that heathcn Chinee.
In the scene that ensned
did not take band,
But the floor IL was strcwed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been hiding
In the game he did not understand"
In his sleeves which were long.
