Chnmber of Commeroe.

An adorned meeting OF the Chamber
Of Commerce was held yesterday for the
purpose Of installing the officers elect
for the ensuing year. The attendance
was large enough to indicate the inter
est which our merchants take in the
Chamber Of Commerce as an indispen-
sable institution. Colonel Napoleon
Hill, the old President, retired with an
appropriate address for such an occa-
sion, and, with the other retiring officers,
received well merited vote of thanks
for efficiency and zeal displayed in their
respective positions. Captain j. NJ
Pettigrew, the President elect, was in
stalled, and made an address full of
timely suggestions and animated by
that spirit Of hope and determine
ton which has inspired others, and
kept Memphis up in the midst of
so many disasters as live, progressive
city. A resolution was adopted fixing
the dues for next year at thirty-fve dol
lars for firms or corporations and twenty
FIVE dollars for individuals, from which
it will be seen that the members are in
earnest, and that they propose to tax
themselves sufficiently to carry out the
objects of the Chamber in a business
like manner The live, thinking mem
bers realize more than ever the impor-
lance of cooperation if they expect to
compete with other cities. Memphis
must work together as a unit to keep up
with the demands of the age and supply
the commercial necessities of her geo.
graphical position; otherwise lag behind
and become a way station between New
Orleans and st. Louis. And in no way
can so much be accomplished as through
a well-directed Chamber of Commerce,
under such officers as retired and as were
installed yesterday.

why Hand Sapolio is the best article in
the world for the constant use of all
classes of people, is because it will do
what no other substance will, as follows:

paint, oil and varnish from the clothing
and hands.

sunburn, chapped hands.
WORKING WoMEE.-It will take the
place of powders and cosmetics for beau
tifying the osmplexion, and will render
the hands white and soft, no matter how
much they are used.
EvERYsoDY.-It is the best article in
the world for removing all cutaneous
blemishes from the skin, and rendering
it white, beautiful and natural in color.

The B0ck-POv Steal.

Recognizing, in the results of the
recent elections, tho Indignation Of
the people at the back-p pay steal, and
other acts for which the party in pow
er is held responsible, some Of the Re
publican newspapers and leaders are
endeavoring to counteract the fatal
results OF that odious measure by as
sorting that the bill passed by the
late Congress must be repealed. II
the mere increase Of pay was the worst
feature about this business, these
symptoms Of returning honesty might
avail something, but as the offense OF
the advocates Of this measure consist
cd mainly in the breach of trust which
they committed, in applying the pro-
ceeds of the steal TO their past servi-
ces, the damned spot" will not "out'
at the idle defamation of these pre-.
tended roformers. The Democratic
party all over the country have, with
a single voice, pronounced condemna-
tion upon those of its members who
committed this breach of official deco.
rum and violation ofpolitcal morality.
They have been subjected TO no such
milk-and-water treatment as that Of
the Radical convention. The results
of this manly stand have been seen in
the recent elections, and tho Radicals
cannot dam the tide which is setting
in, by these feeble platitudes about re-
pealing the law.

The DEMocRAoY.--The Democratic
party has been pronounced upon high
political authority to be dead. Now
this dead party just at present has the
Governor and Legislature Of Connect
icut. II has the State officers of New
York with all the patronage of the
Canal Board, and q Governor in New
Jersey. II has the Governor and Leg
islaturs of Delaware; ditto Maryland
Virginia and West Virginia. In Vir-
ginia It gains a United States Senator.
In North Carolina it has the Legisla-
ture. In Georgia both Legislature
and Governor. In Ohio the same
Ditto kentucky and Tennessee. 1t
has the Legislature in Texas and the
Governor in Indiana. II has the Gov
ernor and Legislature in Missouri. 1t
has the Governor and Legislature in
Wisconsin. In connection with other
elements of opposition it will control
the Legislatures Of Kansas and Cali
fornia. -Four or five years ago il had
scarcely q Governor or Legislature in
the Union, and now il will run from
one-third to nearly one. half of them.
While tho Democratic party is not
dead, there is another party which
appears TO be very unwell.- Clacin-

TIE CRucrBLE.-It has been dis
covered that all the newspapers which
oppose the adoption Of the New Con-
stitution have for years had one or
moro assistant editors in position at
Harrisburg,in the capacity of lobbyist,
or paster and folder. All these places
are made vacant by the new instru-
ment. Hence the opposition. Those
entcrprising journalists, who have
heretofore had their employees paid
out of the State Treasury, will have
to pay them out Of their own pockets,
if thcy want to continue those orna-
ments at the State Capital in the fd-

The GREAT DIFFEREScE.-The Ohio
State penitentiary last year cost sl52,-
1863, while from convict labor and
other sources its receipts amounted to
sl74, ,45O leaving balance of s22, ,22s.
Now, why cannot the Pennsylvania
Penitentiaries be made to yield sim
liar revenue? Instead Of this they
cost the State $4,000 annually, and
each county also contributes its thous.
ands towards their support. We fear
that behind the yell of philanthropy
some parties are pocketing handsome
fortunes.
