The Agricultural and Mechanical So

been made an assured success. Il rest
ON a solid basis, and this year will make
such an exhibit of the fact as will sur
prise and sstonish its most sanguine

our attention TO the kindred enterprise

Of this every lover of Memphis who
would increase her manufacturing and
mechanical facilities can find an
opportunity more fruitful Of good and
possibly great results than Rll the talk

The Democratic ticket OF ballot used
ON election-day was as pretty as a green
back. In fact our friend Simon Green
exhausted in its production marvellous
good taste, aud doubtless every decent
man was impelled by IT, very prettiness
Of the carte to use It. 1t happened,
however, that sacrelegiOUs hands Yio-
lated every charm as wei as every moral
obligation recognized by good citizen
ship, and the tasteful ballot was shame
fully mlsased. Some villain. who
would deseerate his mothers grave and
never dreamed that God require ne -
discharge honestly every duty OF natri-
Otism, erased from these ballots NV
drawing black lines, the names If
Democratic candidates, and insert
ed between these lines the black
names Of the LOewenstine candidates.
The ticket thus mutilated and perverted
within, retained all its exterior features,
and every coward who wished to betray
4 friend by using these fraudulent de-
vices could infict a stab In the dark.
Lookers-On even imagined that they
who used these forged ballots were
voting the straight Democratic ticket.
The device was 30 prominently the re-
sort of towards that we cannot refrain
from reference to it. Sharp lodges on
election days are common, we regret to
say. in this city, but this wa the mean
est. for the bassst purpose, and, inobedi-
enee to the exsction Of moral eowsFdiee,
he most ANONYMOUSLY disgraosf1l deed,

iris on any city on the globe.

THE OLD WHITE A

People wear Greeley hats, coats, fans,
and with the latter pretty girls are
pleased TO cool their golden tresses, and
now and then they kiss the benignant
face Of the kindly old philosopher Of the
Tribune. But who has worn a Grant
hat? Who bears about his person any
badge Of devotion to the fortunes and
fame Of the Gift-taker? The very
incense of iattery rendered 10 Horace
Greeley in the folHes and fancies of the

in November. The people are pleased

E%LECIORAL TTCKET.



The smoke ~ the hattie has cleared
away and the result is before US. It vii
be seen from the returns Published else,
where that the entire Democratic tickeI
j. elected. The canvass has been bitter
angry and excited, and We are glad thai
il is over. We congratulate oul
friends on the triumph Of the Demo
cratic party over its worst enemies-ths
triumph of its loyalty and its cohesive
power and integrity as a political organ,
ization. We hope the boilers have
learned a lesson they viii never forget
They went into the canvass in an over
bearing and threatening spirit, breath
ing death and destruction to all who
opposed them. Some of them were men
who participated in the late convention,
either as delegates or candidates for
nomination. But the people have, by
their votes, vindicated the propriety Of
party organization, and administered q
singing rebuke 10 the renegades. Most
especially do We congratulate A. Wood
ward on the result. A shameful effort
was made to trade him off. This stimu-
lated his friends, aroused the indigna-
ton Of every man disposed to be just,
loyal and true, and the result is, the
very efforts resorted 20 for the pur-
pose Of defeating Mr.. Woodward
gave him additional strength, and
lac leads the ticket. The large vote
which Mr. Woodward received shows
that he holds a position in the confidence
and respect of his party which is i'm
pregnsble; a position won by years Of
toll for the party, and faithful services
a. a county Official. The independents
set themselves deliberately to work 10
disorganize the Democratic party, and
10 form combinations with the Radicals.
But the conspiracy to defeat Mr.. Wood
ward failed, and we congratulate him
on his splendid triumph. We predict
the Radical party will never make
another organized fight in this county.
One thousand fraudulent negro votes
were pOIled in the county on
Tuesday, and If with this great
advantage the Radicals failed to
secure victory they viii despair Of fu-
ture success. No man Of common sense
questions the election Of Horace
Greeley, and this result viii dissolve the
Radical party. At the elections in No
vember the negroes of Arkansas and Mis-
viii remain at home to vote; and
the Democratic majority in Shelby for
Greeley,a Congressman and members of
the Legislature will reach two thousand
But the certainty Of victory should not
make Us forgetful of our duties. Let Us
maintain u organization, and work for
the grand final triumph in November,
Is TO announce that the people
have elasped hands over the bloody
,hasm which has too long divided them.

GENTLEMEN from the Northwestern

RAPIDLY to jackson and Bolivar, make

thus add twenty per cent 10 the whole
sum Of property values in this county.

assets, or should it stagger on to perfee-
ton, wrought out slowly but surely 10y
the profits Of the road. 1t is assumed, Of
course, that the cOmpany's% resources are
now sufficient to finish the road from

more than twenty-five cents for the

DELEGATION of the first citizens OF
Northern Mississippi are in the city for
the purpose of learning wheuhera any aid
q any character may be secured in
Memphis for the construction Of the
Memphis and Oxford narrow-gauye
road. Very little ready money is re-
quined-only enough TO grade and cross
tie the line. A mortgage viii do the
rest. Colonel Falkner, of Ripley, has
shown how,the proposed task may be
easily accomplished. In fact, the bril-
liant success that has wreathed Faulk-
ner's brow with laurels and doubles

celebrated with unusual magnificence in

in the Figaro guarantees the absolute
truth of it. He says:
Twenty years ago a young wife, ten
derby loved by her husband, Nine. the
Marquise Of Montaign, died in giving
birth to a daughter. The Marquis. dis
tracted, fun Of grief for the loss Of his
wife, free from all paternal affection, 80
at least goes the legend, refused to ac-
cept the infant, the indirect cause of his
chagrin, and banished it to Brittany, in
a hospital for fOundlings.
"NhiIe these events were passing, an
English lady, Lady Holland, who pass
ed through Brittany at this moment,
learned this history, and wished TO rear
this poor orphan 50 cruelty deserted
by its father.
1.-THE birth Of this infant, the strange
ness of its reputation, as blameworthy
as thOughtless, moved the heart of this
b~enefactresS, who came to reclaim the
child, engaging herself TO provide for
her education and for her establishment
in harmony with her name and origin
when the moment for that should ar
"Lady Holland has kept her word:
for to-day the infant, abandoned in an
hospital of the province, has become a
young lady Of the world and Of the first
rank, and has come to espouse, thanks
to her birth, the young Prince of Lich-
tenstein, under the name, well con-
of Nile. de Montaign.
"HOwever, to arrive at the realization
Of this marriage. it was necessary to
prove the act Of birth and the act of
baptism Of the infant.
"BUt it has arrived that the news Of
this union is now 10 the ears of Monsieur
the Marquis of MOntaign, and that he
remains stunned by learning this his
tory, Of which he and Lady Holland are
the absolute dupes.
"In fine, Monsieur the MARQUIS Of
.AlOntaign, far from repulsing the infant
Of whom the birth was to him so dear,
has been, on the contrary, particularly
attached to her, and has never been sep
arated from her. His daughter, his real
