ONT WITH THEIR NAMES.

The Austin (AIississippi) Cotton Plant
having made very serious charges
against certain cotton factors OF Mem
phis, should 90 one step further and
publish the names Of the parties meant.
Ifany one here has been guilty Of selling
cotton ION the dip" or otherwise making
false returns, let the guilty suffer- and
not the whole fraternity of commission
merchants. If such practices prevailed
to any extent il would be enough to
break down any cotton market, but we
fell assured that our cotton men are, as
a class, gentlemen of the strictest IN
tegrity, who will compare favora-
bly, with any similar body Of BUSH
ness men in the country. These
charges, as they now stand, affect
every cotton factor in Memphis, for
outsiders cannot be expected to make
distinctions when we ourselves cannot
designate or even suspect who is to
blame. Let us have the names that the
guilty, if any, may be pointed out and
the community relieved of such an
odium as cast upon it by the Cotton
Plant. There may be some bush~hsck-
ers who call themselves commission
merchants who could do such thing,
but we prefer to have the proof before
condemning. Our merchants occupy
front rank in the commercial world for
fair dealing and liberality, and we can
not admit that any firm recognized here
as respectable has been guilty of aSy
such reprehensible practices as charged.
Out with the names and let our Cotton
Exchange proceed to an investigation.

THE CUBAN CASINO EsPANAL.

Many people in this country have read
of the CubaR Casino at Havana without
knowing exactly what it is or how 1t
Yields such an influence over the Cap
tain General and the regular army. The
Casino Espanal is political society OF
strong Ku-Klux proclivities. 1t has
branches or clubs all over the island,
and its members include the most prom
inent Spanish business men and slave
holders in Cuba. The bloody volunteers
all belong to or are controlled by the
organization, and they are numerous
enough to over-awe the Captain Gen
eral, who nominally governs the island
and the regular army. The Casino
therefore may be said to control the
colonial officers of the Spanish Govern
ment, and by the terrorism they inspire
to have things pretty much as they de-
sire. The President of the Casino is
Don Juan de Zulueta, an adherent OF
the Don Carlos cause in Spain, and an
opponent of Castelar's government.
He came to Cuba a penniless carpet
Dagger, but has grown immensely
rich. He owns four sugar plantations
valued at 100000 each and numer-
GUS smaller estates over the island; is
the chief of the largest commercial
house in Havana, and controls to a
great extent the Chamber of Commerce,
the banks, Stock Exchange, and the
municipal affairs of the city. He is not
exactly on the throne of Cuba, for there
is none; but he might as well be for all
practical purposes at present. 1t is be-
lieved that the reason he and the clubs
agreed to the surrender Of the Virginius
was that they knew war with the Uni
ted States would result in emancipation
and sweep away large portion of their
wealth. Captain General Jovelar was
permitted to appear in front of the foot
lights, as it were, and say Let us have
peace" but Zulueta and his confederates
behind the curtain had first given their
appreciation.

AFTER stormy debate in the House
yesterday on the salary question a bill
passed on its final reading which pro
vides that the compensation of Repre-
sentatives, Senators and Delegates shall
be at the rate of $4,000 per annum, and
in addition thereto the individual trav-
cling expenses Of each going to and re-
turning from the seat of governm ent
once in each session of Congress. The
pay Of the President and Congressional
employees remain the same. This is no
great reduction, and will barely satisfy
the people. The bill is to take effect
from its passage. The Senate will prob
ably pass it with slight amendments.

LOCAL POLITICS.

A correspondent writing to the st.
Louis Republican from Memphis, makes
the following observations:
The coming election for municipal
officers, on the first proximo, promises
10 be one Of the most exciting that has
ever been witnessed here. The candi-
dates for the mayoralty are j. } Busby
a prominent merchant, and John
League. a private banker. Both candi-
dates. as well as their friends, are using
every effort to secure the $4,000 a year
salary, and just at present 1t would be a
most difficult matter to name the winner
of the race. Mr.. Busby's strength is
principally with the business men OF the
city. but he will get some negro and
German votes, while Mr.. Leagues hopes
are centered in the Irish and negroes
The last-named candidate was nomi
mated BY a Republican convention, anSe
Mr.. Busby by what was then termed
PEOPLES mass convention, but what the
independent journals term a ring con
vention. A registration Of the voters o.

The Hartford Courant says:

The Hartford Courant says:
The newspaper, in conscientious
hands, is becoming more and more the
guardian of the public. 1t is almost the
only thing which the public plunderers
fear. It's exposures overthrow the New
York ring; they are overthrowing the
Philadelphia ring; they have just
stopped the great exposition swindle
in New York. They have developed a
late conscience in Congress on the sal
airy grab. 1t is the newspaper that
cannot be bought or silenced, that is
alone feared by those who have designs
on the public treasury. Aud we rejoice
that TIE newspaper that cannot be
bought or silenced is becoming more
common than it was. 1t is the only news
paper that can live and be profitable. A
paper may get a temporary support by
sharing in plumber, or it may slide
along, weakly acquieseing in the corrup-
tons about it; but it will have no char
acter, and by and by no influence and
no confdence-and then it must sink
into decadence. There is one thing that
the public never fear, and that is a news.
paper despotism, at least in this coun-
try. There is no clannisbness in the
press; there is not as much esprit de
corps among the newspapers as there is
among the members Of any other profess
sion. They do not stand by each other.
Each represents itself and its own pub
lie; and a newspaper justly sued for
libel gets no sympathy from any other
newspaper. They are quite as ready tc
pounce upon each other as the public il
70 have them. They do not stand by
their own order. We can think Of only
one thing that would unite them all, and
that is any governmentiHterference with

Easy Divorces.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald. al
The advocates of the easy divorce
practice met with signal check in the
Supreme Court yesterday. Mrs. Corley
sued for divorce and alimony on account
of cruel and inhuman treatment by her
husband, and the Chancellor had granted
divorce. from bed and board. On APP
peal the decree is reversed and the bill
dismissed. 1t appears that the husband
on two occasions, when provoked, had
used harsh words and once slight force
in the assertion of his rights as pater
familias, but no serious injury had re-
suited. The parties were at cross purr-
noses. however, as to their daughter s
selection Of a husband, and time widened
the breach till she sued for separation.
Judge Sneed in delivering the opinion
stood by the old landmarks, and de-
clared that legal cruelty was such only
as endangered life or health, and occa-
sional ebullitiens Of passion, even to
the extent of violence, if provoked by
the other party, would not justify the
court in the exercise of the doubtful
power of putting asunder those whom
God has Joined together. The opinion
will have salutary influence, we hope
and expect, upon those inferior courts
which dispose Of the marriage tie as
summary as Alexander cut the Cor
dian knot. So mote it be.
