OUR REPRESENTATIVE.

President Pinson, of the Chamber Of
Commerce, at the meeting on Monday
evening, is reported to have said;
News had been received from our Repre-
sentative in Congress, Mr.. Vaughan, that
there was every prospect OF custom. house
being built here. There were hopes that an
appropriation of two hundred and nifty
thousand dollars would soon be made. The
plans all ready proposed by the architect OF
the department for a custom-hOuse here were
very fine, and would cost. perhaps. before
they were completed, one million dollars;
This would add much TO the architectural
beauty and commercial importance OF the
city. This report of the committee was not
fnality. but it showed that the effort TO keep
the bonded warehouse here was meeting Win
the hearty approval of the citizens.
As what might be construed as an i'm
piled censure of our Representative ap-
peared in recent article in this paper,
we publish the above with pleasure. The
subject of an appropriation for public
building here as pressed by Mr.. Vaughan
had escaped our notice. We are glad
to have an opportunity of thanking him
and of bearing our testimony to his
fidelity to his constituents. We trust
the appropriation may be made. The
position of Memphis demands some
notice from the government Another
administration and another Congress
may do US justice, however.

DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

A strong point is made by cotempo-
rary when it remarks that the admins
tration has announced to the chairman
of the committee on foreign relations
that it is the purpose of our government
to adhere to the American case as made
up by Bancroft Davis, and to insist upon
it, regardless Of the fate Of the Washing
ton treaty. Having begun the game Of
bluff, the President proposes to fight it
out on that line He is determined to es-
tablish precedent which must tell fear
fully against us in the future, unless we
abandon the traditional policy of our
government in regard to the recognition
of belligerent rights on the part Of strug-
Cling nationalities. The ready sympa-
thies of our people with the soldiers Of
freedom in other countries, must here
after be depressed with a strong hand,
for every rebellion abroad will expose
us to absurd claims for consequential
damages, based on this vain and grand
lose piece Of electioneering clap-trap,

To the Editor Of the Public Ledger:
The injunction preventing the sale OF
engines and other city property has been
secured, and FOR the present We can sleep
quietly at night, with the full assurance
that Chief Anderson and his faithful
assistants have the machines, as well as
the will, to guard eur property against
the ravages OF fire
But the Injunction only prevents the
sale: it does not pay the debt. This lit
tie matter of four hundred and ninety
thousand dollars is still unsettled. How
can We psyT What pay withY are
questions propounded on every side.
By the provisions Of the city charter,
which is the fundamental Law Of the cor
poration, two modes only are provided
by which the city government can
have the streets paved. Neither OF these
modes contemplate general tax. But
suppose q general tax was legal, what
amount will be reqnired2 -Four hun

Of course " But you forget, my friend,
that about FIVE hundred thousand dollars
was paid BY the public spirited property
holders direct TO the contractors at the
time the work was done. These cannot
be required to pay again, or if required
to pay, their paving receipts must be
taken BY the tax gatherer, with interest
added from the time Of payment. The
account then viii stand as follows:

Now, who is ready TO face the music
Who will advocate the collection of this
immense sum in violation Of the city
charter, and against the advice Of ex-
perienced lawyers, who tell US that the
judgment, as rendered, is at least two

How II Is.

General Slocum, who was a prominent
Federal General during the war, aud is
now q member Of Congress, said the
other day that " if citizen would pay
bis respects to the chief magistrate he
must frst pass in review at the White
House before three or four brigadier
generals. II We desire to negotiate for
the purchase Of an island in the sea the
negotiations must be carried on by q
brigadier general. If the merchants Of
New York wish storage for their goods
they must go to a colonel Of the staff
We can hardly psss a bill through Con-
gress without the aid at least Of field
officer" And this is precisely the state
of things the people are determined to
get rid OF. One universal disgust per-
vades the nation, and the people who
make brigadier generals are resolved TO
send them to their commands, if they
have any.

NEW YORK.

New YoRK, April 24.-The Society oil
St. George held their annual dinner at
Delmonico's last night, which proved
success in every respect. The room
was tastefaIly decorated with the flags
of America and England. Among those
present was Sir Edward Thornton, Brit
ish minister, who, in response to toast,
made a somewhat lengthy speech, in
which he said that the claim for indirect
damages was never supposed by the
British Commissioners to be included in
the treaty of Washington, and that
an examination of the wording Of the
treaty has not persuaded them to the
contrary, but has confirmed their origl-
nal and publicly proclaimed belief He
was gratifed at having had the honor of
being one Of the signers Of the treaty,
and had the frmest faith in the princi-
pie of arbitration Other toasts were
given and responded to, aud the festivi-
ties continued to late hour.
In addition to the regular prog ramme
Of the American Jockey Club meeting
at Jerome Park. which begins June lst
there will be steeple chase on June
9th. to be ridden exclusively by members
of the club, for purse Of five hundred
dollars, given by Jerome and Lorillard,

The Times, in commenting editorially
on the action of Congress regarding the
tariff, says: Great disappointment is
felt in this city and throughout the eoun-
try that Congress did not proceed with
more promptness to the consideration of
so much of the bill as involves the tax
on TED and coffee" The Times considers
it the imperative duty of Congress to de-
eide on a bill which viii not be likely to
prove ruinous to many firms affected by
this tax.

NEGRO BOUETIEs.

The people of the South are taxed to
pay bounties to negro soldiers. The

colored soldiers enlisted during the war,
their previous condition, and the amount
of money required to pay the enlisted
slaves bounty. The total number en-
listed was It's, 975, of whom la, 426 were
slaves. Under the existing law, slaves
enlisted subsequent to July, 1864. are

the action Of President Grant in send
ing troops to Chicago as a violation OF
the Constitution, and laws; said he did
not know.what the Democrats were fight
ing about, now that slavery is dead, and
asked If there are any Democrats or
Abolitiouists, and didn't see any differ

they proposed at Cincinnati to elect a

be very glad to have the Democrats vote
for the Liberal nominee, and trusted that
all good Republicans would do SO.

Dolly Warden Barnaby Nudge.
Miss Warden, the long forgotten dam
sci Of the year 1850, after whom the
fashionable Memphis dress of the sea-
son is named, was charming maiden
who lived in the reign Of George III, at
the time of the Lord George Gordon
No Popery Riots in the city Of London.
Dolly first appears in Baraaby Ridge
at the old locksmith's window, which
CHANGED to be thrown open, as Gabriel
Warden, her paternal ancestor, looked
up, and "a roguish face met his, face
lighted up by the loyeliest pair of spark
ling eyes that ever locksmith looked
upon, the face of a pretty laughing girl,
dimpled, and fresh. and healthfnl-the
very impersonation of good hamor and
blooming beauty" But her dress.
What was it2 Not, certainly, Of the
startling, loud character in color and
pattern so fashionable at present; but a
cherry colored mantle and hood, straw
hat trimmed with cherry colored ribbons,
worn the merest triAe on one side,
cruel little mutt, and heart-rending
pair Of little shoes; and there she stood
surrounded and hemmed in, as 1t
we're, by aggravations OF all kinds.
The American modiste has done
the business, and about year
ago rechristened what were then
known as crotennes," and called them
dolly Vardens.' The name was at
first confined to chimes, but now 1t
spreads to other materials, out of which
costumes are madeswhose like was never
seen on sea or shore, and named them af-
ter the pretty little daughter of the Lon
don locksmith, who, in the last chapter OF
Barnaby Rudge," became Mrs. Joe
willett, and reopened the Maypole Inn.
The story can be found, we understand,
in certain book called Barnaby
Rudge" written, if we remember rightly,
BY one Charles Dickens, an author of
some local reputation in his day. Nay,
we believe the majority of his works are
read with some zest and pleasure at pres
ent by the average American; his stories,
however, being located in low or aver
age life, cannot possibly interest or
amuse persons of shoddy aristocratic
tastes and pretensions. The book can
be found at the principal news stands
throughout the city.
