The City Market system--O bserva-
lions that have local appliCa-

tton. Lhtye--4 gaLsGAHTI5- }
There Is no more reason why the city
should furnish places to sell meat, fish
and vegetables in, than there is for It's fur.
nishiDg places 10 sell groceries, dry goods
and eSrthware. When a man wishes to
open cigar store he has to find his own
house and place; when carpenter or
joiner needs a shop, he hires 1t Of his
neighb0r where best he can; and so Of the
ten thousand other trades who miniSter to
our general human wants. What would
be though Of it, now, il all the iliverymen
should demand io the city q score or
more Of grand stables for the stalling Of
their horses; what II the lawyers should
require immense inns Of court for their
particular convenience; Wharf.-The clergy.
men should oil insist upon having q! huge
collective parsonage; or the dealers in old
junk cry out for an extensive field for the
display Of their rubbish Yet we do not
see but that each one Of these Caliings
might, with the same propriety, demand
suitable houses from the city, as the
butchers, the green groceries and the
fishmongers. Every consideration, save
that ofmere precedent, urged In favor Of
the one, could be urged with Just as much
force in iRvor,ot all the others; and fthe
consideration were regarded, the city
would become vast landlord, with no
other business than the supplying Of
houses. for its myriads Of tradesmen,
mechanics and professional men. 1tss
The practice Of providing markets for
butchers and gardeners, we suppose, grew
out Of an early condition OF things, in
which all the market truck consumed In
town was broughtin wagons from the
distant country; and the countrymen who
brought 1t could not be expected to own
their own stores, o, common magazine Or
square was furnished them by the public
authority. But that condition OF things
has largely passed away. The supply Of
great cities is now undertaken by mid.
dlemen, who. own their own stalls, and
who have no longer need Of the interven.
ton Of the corporate body. They hire
their places, either on the most ftequented
streets, or in some central building, and
procure their supplies for themselves;
and sell them, as they are able, to their
customers Like other merchants they
maintain their own establishments, and
have no more occasion than otter mer.
chants to invoke the special assistance Of
the Mayor and Common Council.
An, almost,universal experience proves
that II public markets are not provided,
private markets spring up in their place !;
while the same experience shows that
these private markets are moreclednly,
more convenient, and in every way more
advantageous, than thoseithey superSede.
Let the old markets be sold, then; let the
depleted, city treasury pocket the money,
and let that private enterprise to (which
we trust Tor nearly everything else, be
trusted for newer and better accommoda.
tons. All we shall require OF the city Is
to see that they are kept tidy and neat,
and inhabitable byaolher creatures than
rats and hungry dogs ofthe night! i1iE

The election yesterday passed off quietly
though there was great excitement and full
vote The friends of the different candidates
worked zealously and the result is glorious
victory for the Republican ticket. The frantic
efforts of the Press md Herald, which contain
ed full column of appeals to stand by the
party, and dire threats to answer 'Maynard's
harangue' have been unavailing. The Repub-
licans worked gloriously and because of the
splendid ticket put into the field they have won
an Appomattox victory. We take it as sting
ing rebuke to the intolerant spirit of
Tennessee Democracy and an overwhelm-
ing condemnation of the miserable
little Knoxville ring that has its Headquarters
in the Press and Herald Office The people of
Knox county have spoken and a glorious tri-
umph, one Of the most decided. one of the most
glorious, one of the most significant ever won
in Knox county is the result. "Maynard's
clans-men" have rallied to his call and their
cheers have rung loud and deep and struck ter
ror to the hearts of the clique that rally at the
Office ofthe Greeley organ. 1.-THE iittleorgan"

result the CHRONICLES announces this morning
shows that they know a little more about It
than the Knoxville ring and their "big Or
gam"
THE RESULT.
We do not wish to be understood as claiming
the majorities given for BLANC or Harris as rep
resenting the majority of the Republican party,
but we do claim that the contest between Bear
den and Boyd was a fair test of the strength Of
the two parties in Knox county. No one look
ing at the vote Of the 18th and other strong Re-
publican districts would claim the vote between
Williams and Ray as at all test of the Repub-
lican strength. We are entirely satisfied from
the results of yesterdays work that Knox coun-
ty will give Grant next November majority of
five hundred.
Up to the time Of going to press we have re-
ceived partial returns from all the districts in
the county except the 9th and 10Th, and esti-
mate from the figures found elsewhere, that
Gossett's majority will reach between seven and
eight hundred. He received more votes than
both of his opponents. Bearden's majority will
reach little higher. BLANC is elected County
Court Clerk by about sixteen hundred majority,
while Harris will reaches over two thousand.
The contest between Williams and Ray, it will
be seen, is close. The official vote will be re-
qured to decide the contest though the chances
seem to favor Williams. This is glory enough
for one day.

Democratic Stampede to Grant and Wilson

COLUMBUS, o., July 3O.-the most re-
markable political event of the present
campaign in this city took place tonight
without any ones supervision. A delega-
ton of over one hundred workingmen,
mostly Democrats, employed in GilPs car
shops, formed into procession, procured
band of music and banners, and marched
up to the Grant club rooms, and enrolled
their names as members of the club.
AS the rooms were not large enough to
hold the fast collecting crowd, a long pro-
cession was formed, and proceeded with
songs and cheers to the residence of Gov.
Moves, who, much surprised; came out and
welcomed them in neat, twenty-minutes
speech.
The entire affair was spontaneous. 1t
greatly surprised the people generally, and
especially the gentlemen who are here to

morrow. -. L.

The following special despatch to the
Herald has been received from our CORE
spodent in the capitol of Great Britain:
LONDON, July %, 1872.
Mr.. Stanley, the New York Herald cor
respondent from Africa, is greatly lionized
in Paris on account of his successful COM
mand of the American expedition to the
grand result of its conlmission-the find
ing of Doctor Livingstone.
His every movement is reported by the
correspondents of the London daily Press,
and the illustrated journals of the metro
polls are all eager to obtain incidents and
sketches as subjects for their artists.
1t is reported that the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars has been already offered him
lor book of his travels during the period
vi Inc Livingstone expedition.
united states Minister Washburne has
entertained Mr.. Stanley at breakfast.
General Sherman was present. The
American commander was greatly inter-
ested in the Stanley maps.
The New York Herald Office in To,1o,
is besieged with crowds of people. anxious
for the receipt of news about Livingstone
and Stanley.
Early copies of Livingstone's letters to
the Herald have been published all over
Europe, and the papers-the whole of the
Old World press almost-have already
printed splendid articles in acknowledge
ment and praise of the American triumph
and its reward. rF..- --- ---- e -.f
