siders the movement unimportant, polit-

have material effect on the Cincinnati
movement. The Times also states It's
opinion is that the issue Of the free
traders will have no decisive influence
on the Presidential election. The Her
aid thinks that to talk of any other
Presidential nomination is absurd, and
that such course on the part Of the
free traders would be attended with in
evitable defeat.

Christfan nroshers' college Picnic.
1t appears to us that the only thing
wanting to make the Christian Brothers
College picnic a success is to have favo-
rable weather. and we hope sincerely
that Tuesday, June 4th, may be fne
day. This picnic is one of the favorite
topics with most Of our people, and what
is more, they are the very best people o.
our city, who mean to show that they
can appreciate the worth of educational
institutions as well as it can be done in
any other city. That scholarship is
worth noticing. 1t would be an excel
lent idea for our wealthy citizens to in
vest in the prize, and as they may not
relish the idea of using the prize for
their own children, they could draw upon
the blessings of some poor
boy who might anxiously be on the look
out for an opportunity of this kind to
work his way through the world. A
present of this kind would be greater
blessing for him than fortune. Our
citizens would do we'll to give
this suggestion a thought.

A DESPERATE SET.

The failure Of the Ku-Klux measure
in Congress has maddened the Grant
party. They gnaw files, masticate
stones, and spit fire like the snakes in
the Black Crook. They do not see any
way of carrying the South except by
force. To lose the South is to lose power
and go to the dogs forever. Thus the
case stands with them. To their con-
sternation they saw the Liberal Repub-
Gcans voting with the Democrats to de-
feat their bayonet law. They realized
for the first time that there was some
thing in the Liberal movement. They
discovered that it was useless to ridicule
Greeley They saw great masses Of
their party breaking over the barriers
and Aocking 10 him with a shout that
stirred the nation. Miserable men
Their fond dream, dreamed SO oft
and sweetly, has closed and left the
dreamers mad and furious as the
dogs that are biting the people Of this

this Government was no longer to be a
government Of the people, but the 81
gantic machine of ring controlled by the
bayouet. There was to be no end TO the

still remain in the bondage of the car.
pet-baggers, and bleed for them and for
the Government. So fatal a delusion
could only have been entertained by
men blinded by their passions. They
thought the Republican party could be
kept together during the period
of their lives, and that they could en-
JOY all that money and power can
give. There is to be a grand overhaul
ing Of theirpublie conduct Dark deeds
are to be dragged from dark places and
exposed to the people. Their whole
conduct is TO pass before the public like
q panorama, and as their deeds appear
they are to hear the indignant execra-
tons Of the people. No wonder they
are mad. They are destined to grow
angrier still and snap on and spit FIRE to
the bitter end. And yet, some Demo
Gratis say they have no choice between
these men and their leader, and Greeley
and the honest Republicans who sup
port him. Well, but we shall see how
this is about October.

A LESSON FROM NASHVILLE.

This is the last week of the Nashvill,
Industrial Exposition. If reports b.
true, it has been grand success. i
drew to Nashville many thousands o
people from nighboring States, while i
attracted great numbers from the differ
ent parts of our State We have seen nc
estimate of the number OF strangers that
attended during the two weeks Of the
Exposition, but unless the Nashville
papers are greatly at fault, it could
scarcely have been less than one hun
dred thousand But suppose it was only
half that; what is, in the first place, the
extent of the prestige Nashville has re-
ceived, and in the second place, what is
the probable amount of money left in
the city, People can make their
own calculations. All must admit
that Nashville has acted wisely in
establishing her Exposition. 1t is not, in
business sense, a very prosperous city
in the spring and summer months, but
its business men have forecast, and will
have made up from the Exposition more
than the losses of the dali months. Can
Memphis see nothing in the example of
Nashville to initiate? What would be
the effect Of the presence of one hundred
thousand strangers here during the next
two weeks2 Would not every pulse of
trade beat with accelerated motion?
Would not every interest feel new i'm
pulse? We should have strangers buy
ing here who never bought here before.
We should acquire prestige that would
20 far to counterfeit combinations in
other quarters got up and industriously |
welded to break down our city. |
Our need is something more than ia
cility of getting here. We might have
thousand railroads and river covered |
with steamboats,, but they would prove
useless to us unless they brought some
thing here. They do bring cotton, pro-
duce, strangers, etc but we want some
thing out of the ordinary course of trade
and travel. We want great Expositions,
such as that now closing at Nashville.
We want holidays rendered so attractive
that people from other States will come
here. We want strangers to see what
we are, what are our resources, and OF
what we are capable. But it is necessary
for US to do something to attract them.
If there is force in these views, and per
haps even commercial men themselves
will not dispute the point, had we not
all, women as well as men better go in
stantly to work to insure the success of
our proposed Exposition2

made a motion to quash the garnish-
ments issued on the parties owing taxes
to the city, on the grounds that such gar

Mr.. Sibley opposed the motion. Judge
Trigg thought these garnishments vio-
lated the order of the United States Su-
preme Court, and would compel the city
to repudiate every other debt and pay
this one. The Court intimated that
city government could not be destroyed
in this manner by locking up the
sources of its revenue. Owing to the
absence of General Humes, counsel of
Brown 4 Co., the argument on the mo-
ton was postponed until this afternoon.
