HORACE MAYNARD, as chairman
of a committee, recently introduced
a bill in Congress so remove the polit-
ical disabilities from the few ex-Con-
federates excepted by the amnesty
acts of former Congresses. The Jack
son Courier speaks ofthe "'magnanim-
ity" thus displayed by Mr.. Maynard.
We think Mr.. Maynard only intend
ed to achieve a little cheap reputation
for magnar Unity prior to his canvass
for Governor of Tennessee next sum-
mer. When nearly an hundred thou
sand ex-Confederates of his
adopted State were disfranchised,
and the State was controlled by igno-
rant voters, and a fearful reign of
terror and crime brooded over the
land, and lawless militia roamed into
houses without fear of molestation-
did he show his "magnanimity" then?
No! he helped to bind their hands
with all the power he possessed.
Now, when there is no bravery or
magnanimity in it, because every 9th
er leader of his party is for it, he
comes forward, after his fellow-coun-
trymen, about one hundred and fifty
altogether, have been expatriated for
nearly nine years, and asks that they
shall become free citizens again. Too

NunIcipaIEIcctlon In memphis

The election which is to take place
in Memphis in January for Mayor
and Aldermen and other municipal
officers, Is exciting, as it should, great
interest. The fate of the city may
depend on the result of this election.
We know neither of the candidates
for Mayor, J. j. Busby nor John
League, but from what we learn
there Is no comparison between them.
Bushy Is an energetic, true business
man, connected with no rings, and
having no interest to subserve but
that of the city. His conduct during
the Yellow Fever epidemic, and be-
fore that time, showed how devoted
he was to the welfare of Memphis
people, without reference to race or
color. He oras the friend Of all, and
a friend indeed" because "friend
in need"
His opponent, John League, is
nondescript in politics; though now
running as a pretended Republican
when did he become so? Busby is
not the candidate of any party, but
of the people, and viii serve men of
all parties. Because we wish well to
Memphis, and feel deep interest in
the prosperity of the Stricken City"
we have ventured to make these re-
marks, as every Tennesscan should feel
proud OF the commercial metropolis of
our State.

SEVERAL months ago we advised
the people of Mississippi and all other
ncgro-ridden States to give a portion
of their lands to white immigrants, as
the only way to save the South from
utter bankruptcy and ruin. We are
glad to sec that a somewhat similar
idea is obtaining consideration among
the farmers of Mississippi. Some of
the Mississippi Oranges, in order to
induce white men to settle in that
State, have promised to furnish eve
nv white family coming into their re-
spective counties with forty acres of
land, rent free, for five years. Let
them give the land to the white i'm
migrants, and their State will soon be
teeming with industrious white immi-
grants, who will develop its great ag-
ricultural resources, and also put a
speedy end to negro domination.

HoN. w. c. WHITTHoRNE has in
troduced bill in Congress, providing
for demonstration of a canal through
the Muscle Shoals, the great draw
back to commerce on the Tennessee
River. But for these shoals, Tennes-
see River would be open from its
mouth to an hundred miles above
Knoxville, about one thousand miles
by water. The entire commerce of
the nation is more or less interested
in the removal of this great natural
obstruction in one of the principal
rivers of the country, and the nation
should remove it. Millions and mil
lions and millions of dollars have
gone out of tie national treasury TO
make navigable the lakes and rivers
of the North, and it is time the South,
which helps to foot the bill, was also
receiving some assistance in the same
way. 1t is too late to have constitu-
tional scruples after one section has
been benefited.

In the Presidential campaign of
1872, a convention of ':straight-Out"
Democrats was held in Louisville,
and nominated Charles O'Conor for
President, not being able to swallow
Greeley. The convention was pre-
sided over by James Lyon, of Va.
Supporters of Greeley charged that
the entire movement was gotten up
in behalf of Grant, and recent events
20 to show that they were right in
their conjecture. President Grant
has appointed its chairman, james
Lyon, to 4 fat office, that of States
Attorney for the Eastern District
of Virginia. And thus it generally
ends. Whenever a man refuses to
endorse the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, in national, State or
county politics, it may be safely pre-
dicted that he is working in the inter-
ests of the Radicals, from whom he
will in time receive a sop.

stood in his place by the front seat

crutch, and spoke in shrill voice.
The entire house sWarmed close
about him, and for halt an hour there
was scarcely movement or sound
on suy side. There were in the
crowd men like Dawes, Schofield,
aud their associates, who had labor
ed here through the legislation of
the war. and others who had worked
in the Confederate Congress. There
were Garfield, Butler, and many who
fought for the flag, and more than
score who had marched under the
Confederate banner. and all crowd
ed together about this skeleton man,
the second officer ofthe COnfederacy.
Every one present seemed to be rum
ming over the whole history of the
war, as it stood reflected on the per.
sonages gathered about stephens. 1t
was not his speech so much as his re-
lations and surroundings that attract
the general attention.

A Gard to the Public.

The Trustees of the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Con-
cert announce the postponement of the
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the Slst
of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyzed the business Of
every section of this country and of Europe,
has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets. The epidemics pervading almost
the entire South have cut off large and
available market. And, too, the public
Judging from the efforts of these causes have
expected postponement and have declin-
ed TO invest without a more positive assur-
ance ofthe drawing taking place on fixed
day.
All interested desire a full drawing, but
for the reason just stated this could not be
had on the Sd of Dec ember, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
it,
The management has met with unprece-
denied success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over a MILLION DOLLARS,
with q number of agencies i'll this country
vet to hear from, and all others in Europe.
Thus a drawing SCALING the gifts one
half could be had now, but the manage

and a full drolciug.
This postponement assures the sale Of all the
tickets and \ FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the approba-
ton of nearly every one interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
and the Canadas asking for postpone.

This action of the management VIII work
no detrimept tc any but will be for the good
of all. By it the fortunate ticket-holder
will receive their gifts IN fill while it will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the man.

further postponen,ent and to this end all agents
will be imperatively required to close u p
