Great men cannot be known through

drawn bears the same relation at best tc
the reality that the sculptor Apollo OF

Mr.. Carlyle has invented a Mirabeau
whom most English readers now have
agreed to adopt with understanding
faith, but which really belongs to the
realms of fancy as strictly as Othello or
Macbeth. Yet there are sources enough

which a very accurate notion might be
obtained Of the real human, undramatic
Miraseau. Marie Antoinette and Jose
phine Beauharnais are two figures which
may be studied in every accurate Inca
ment By those who will take the trouble,
but which, as popularity represented and
accepted, are pure myths. The Swift
Of Macaulay and Thaekeray is an mag

himself the pleasure OF reading the let

The Evening News, whose editor mort
than any three or five men caused thu
nomination Of Major Busby at the
Greealaw Opera House meeting, Genes
out editorially in yesterdays issue il
the following unmistakable language
"YOur inference is thoroughly reasona'
BILE and entirely correct. The thirty
one hundred and fifty voters (eolored)
piH be represented in case Of Mr.. Bus
bys election. They TiH be on the
police and IN the fire Department. (Our
italics) What proportion they will
compose Of the force Of both depends
upon future Developments" Future
developments we presume means that
colored men will be rewarded with APP
pointments in proportion to the support
they give Major Busby. The issue is
now made up. Major Busby's avowed
organ has spoken for him and
made this pledge. Bat if any OF his
friends say this was unauthorized
and that he will not appoint colored pc
licemeu and fremen, let him come out
over his own signature and say so. We
are not seeking to prejudice any mans
cause, but to bring out the essential
facts that will enable people to vote ad-
yisedly. AS between Republican
standing on his own platform and q
Democrat striving to out-herod Herod
himself for the sake Of office, let the
honest people choose if there is no other
alternative. The Appeal Of this morn.

candidate:
1t is not that John League is bad
man, or would do wrong or countenance
wrong in others knowingly or wilfully.
That we do not believe. HIS record IS
one for honesty and faithful perform
dnce Of duty that no one can truthfutty
assaa. But the character OF the men
by whom he is surrounded the charac-
ter of his supporters is such as to force
the conclusion that if he is elected
Mayor, all that we have gained by non.
partisanship in municipal elections will
be lost, and we shall fast drift back to
the confusion, anarchy and countenanc-
ing of crime that once made Memphis
too conspicuous among the cities OF the
country.
We commend both these journals for
candor, but would like to know whether
either or both these candidates would
run the Office if elected, or permit it to
be done by crowd" of their ardent
supporters; if the latter is the case that
may explain the milk in the cocoanut--
