LIGHT OR DARKNESS.


The question of lighting the street
lamps is being agitated, and cannot
fail to be of interest to every one,
who has the welfare of the city at
heart. Aside from the convenience of
street lights, and their tendency to
prevent crime, we learn that unless the
the city will take gas, the gas works
will havo TO suspend for want of suffi-
cient patronage to sustain them. No
one will deny that one of the most
salutary improvements, that can be
made in city, is lighting the streets.
Hence, the only question for us to de-
termine, is, can we afford it? Let us
look, for moment at the facts. We
have an annual revenue, collected by
the City Marshal, of from $4,000 to
$4,000. We have an annual income
from Red River bridge of from $1,000
to $1,000. The City Recorder collects
from $500 to 81 900 in fines, and the
City Attorney has in his hands, for
collection, claims amounting to, from
5000 to II, 900, the most of which he
reports solvent, and will eventually be
collected. This makes, at the lowest
estimate, an aggregate of about $685.
600. The Gas Company, we under
stand, proposes to supply the forty FIVE
posts, now standing in the city, with
gas at the rate of 50 per month, per
post, making the total expense for gas,
per year, 81 $40. We do not propose
to enquire as to how the city's money
has been spent, for we take it for
granted that it has been honestly APP
propriated to the payment of officers
salaries, to street improvements, to the
extinguishment of old debts, and liqui-
dating the interest on those, yet out
standing. But we do think, that, from
an income, of $4,000, we ought to be
able TO spend as much as 81 200 for so
great an improvement as street lights,
and we are constrained to believe that
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
will give this matter their favorable
consideration, when they reflect upon
the great Inconvenience that will in
eyitably result to our citizens and city
from discontinuance of the gas
works. ,..-

government of tho South, since the
war, nothing bit official robbing, op-
pressioh AID military rule, he turns
horthwsrd where the dominant party
rs forthe present, exempt from those
terrible governmental infections. In
addition to this actual condition, the
intelligent foreigner is not slow to dis
cover that it is the policy of the Fed

wrongs as a means of keeping the
South subject and subordinate by Grip
pling its growth and frightening all
immigration from its borders. We
would particularly direct to this point,

THE New York South" predicts
that the day will come when the man
ufacturing business of the country will
be transferred from New England to
the southern States. 1t says they have
the water power, the coal, the timber,
the iron and the raw material, both
cotton and wool This is all very true,
and none know it better than New
Englanders, and hence their bitter
ness toward a prospective rival, and
their fierce efforts, through the Fed
eral government, to destroy the South.
In this effort, they are materially aided
by the South itself, which seems to
have an incurable antipathy to manu-
featuring as well as undying longing
for everything produced north of the
Ohio. The little money which the
South can spare, it prefers to invest
in Railroads to be monopolized by,
and run in the sole interest of the
North. To carry off our raw material
is leading feature in the game, and
to make the South pay literally for
the means of transportation, is set
down as so much clear gain by the
conspirators against southern prosper
ity. The prophecy will, doubtless, be
fulfilled, but not until a generation of
enterprise and practical patriotism
shall have taken the place of the pres
ent "hewers of wood and drawers of
water" for the cunning capitalists of
the North.

EVERY man of ordinary sense can
now see that the vote given to John
son, if added to Cheatham would
have beaten Maynard out of sight
But since it is likely that Maynard
was the second choice of Andy's
friends, it is all right, and the rapid
retrogrossion of Tennessee towards
Radicalism, is the real wish Of all who
boltcd the regular nominations Ifso
nothing is to be gained by explaining
the causes of the sad results-the sole
cause being the preference of thous-
ands of former conservatives, for a
Radical over the nominee of Conscr-
vatiyo Convention. Satisfied with the
simple solution, We shall not trouble
ourselves with palliating figures and
soothing conjecturcs.

A TRIAL OF 30 YEARs.-The New
York Observer has passed through
the ordeal, and starts out anew on the
second fifty years with larger list of
readers and more numerous friends
than ever. Such steady course of
prosperity is unexampled, and inspires
confidence. We heartily rejoice in
the great success of paper which has
always advocated those sound princi-
pies that undcrlie the foundations Of
society and good government. 0rtho-
dox in the truest sense, both in Church
and State, its influence is always good.
We see its publishers propose to give
to every subscriber for 1873 an appro-
priately embellished jubilee Year
Book. Those who subscribe will have
no cause to regret the step. S3 a year.

IT is said that some ofthe indopcnd-
cut candidates for the Legislature,
pledged themselves during the canvass,
to support johnson for the State Sen
ate, that they were capable Of such II
pledge for such a man, is not surprising,
but We think they will hesitate 10 set
the seal of deep damuation upon their
political career by rcdecmiug that
pledge, after Tennessee has so loudly
proclaimed against him. Their agency
in the disruption of Conservative or
ganization carries with il about as
much odium as the independents can
we'll bear, and none but those, already
Radical. will venture 20 take a step

The Bourbon Democracy, having
taken large stock in the election of
Grant, seek to make a virtue of their
treason, by predicting a glorious rev
olution, in the feelings and conduct of
their President elect. He lost his first
opportunity to make distinguished
name in history, and great must be his
improvement, if the next four years
can wipe out the iniquities of the last
four.

Dull, heavy headache, distractions OF
nasal passages, discharge, falling into
throat, sometimes profuse, watery, acrid,
thick and tenacious mucus, purulent, mu-
co-purulent, bloody, putrid, offensive, etc.
In others dryness, dry, watery, weak, or
inflamed eyes, ringing in ears, deafness,
hawking and coughing to clear throat, ul-
ceratiops, scabs from ulcers, constant desire
to clear nose and throat, voice altered, ma
sal twang, offensive breath, impaired smell
and TASTE, dizziness, mental depression.
tickling cough ,.idiocy and insanity.
All the above symptoms are common 10
the disease in some of its stages or compli-
cations, yet thousands of cases annually
terminate in consumption, and end in the
grave without ever manifesting one-third
OF the above symptoms.
No disease is more common or less UNI
deistood by physicians. The Proprietor OF
DR.. Sage's Catarrii Remedy will pay $500 re-
ward for case of Catarrh which he cannot
cure. Sold by druggists.
The Justice of the Verdict rendered
by the public years ago in favor OF the
MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENr must be APP
parent to all who have used that famous
preparation or seen IL used. Its healing
influence is irresistible. Themost obstinate
forms ofneuralgic or rheumatic disease are
totally cured by 1t. and that in an incon-
ceivably short space of time. External in
juries or sores, whether of man or beast,
ms well MS all equine or human maladies
for which n liniment may be used, are
speedily remedied by its use. Remember
ii IL not merely a palliative but an eradi-
cant of disease.

COST OF THE LOCAL ELECTION.

1t is difficult matter to obtain the exact
cost OF the recent election this city, but number OF
the most important items have been obtained from o'
cal sources and are given herewith There are IN THIS
city 5s election districts There were for each four IN
spectors aud two poll clerks. The inspectors received
s. each for each OF the four days of registration ana
for election day The poll clerks received each " ior
their services election day. Hence II appears thaI
2O72 inspectors received t65s and 1895 clerks SIoZ
These employees arc paid by the city authorities.
In addition there present two United states SUI
pervisors who receive each IS per day or total oil
$500 There also two policemen detailed TO Keep
order whose pay will average about 50 per day, or a
total Of sl6,540 There were also appointed by Chief
Supervisor Davenport large npmber Of United states
Deputy Marsbals. The exact numberis not KNOWN the
United States officials declining to give the hgures IL
is believed however that there about 5000 ap-
pointed. The law under which their appointments ale
made specifics that the pay Of these officers shall be s.
per day, for space not to exceed ten days ON the
basis OF 1900 appontees. this would make total OF $780,
0O0 There also large outlay for stationery, CLERK
hire etc AT previous elections the Police Commission
have allowed for the rent OF registering anu POhg
places for each day Of registration and us on election
day, or & total Of $is,130.
There are also the salaries OF those employed IN the
Bureau OF Elections Stationery ETC. Probably the arg
est item is that OF advertising the places OF registration
and election, the boundaries Of election districts the
names OF inspectors and pocerks and the canvass OF
the recent election in this city may be thus summed up
