pa- The Republicans Of Mem
phis, taking advantage Of the dis
turbance in the ranks Of the oppo-
sition of that city, have placed a
municipal ticket in the field. John
League is their candidate for May
or, Ed Shaw (colored) for Wharf
master, and Fred G. Sharper for
tax collector. The ticket has fair
prospects of success, thanks to the
superb patriotism Of tho non-Parti
sans and independents Of Memphis,
and their political prophets, the

ES~ On Monday Morning last
the jailor OF Pulaski entered the
jail for the purpose of looking af-
ter the comfort of his prisoners, fif-
teen in number. Immediately on
his entrance they threw a blanket
over his head, bound him tight and
fast, took the keys from his peck
ct, passed themselves out and lock-
ed him up. However their free
dom was of but short DURATION
The alarm was given through the
me dunn of thevigorous lungs of the
jailor, and all the prisoners were re-
captured and re-incarceratcd.-
There were several desperate char
acters among them, and but for the
daylight, would have made good
their escape.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The sur
face indications are all Indicative of
a rich harvest for the lobby this
winter. a larger attendance of the
third house at the commencement
of a session was never known. On
every side and at every turn is
heard the whisperings of u coming
job. From at least a dozen sources
l learned to-day that the Northern
Pacific and the Texas Pacific Rail-
roads had united their forces and
agreed upon joint plan which is to
be submitted at an carly day and
pressed vigorously by = tremendous
lobby under the immediate direc-
ton of Tom Scott. Their memori-
al has been prepared, and is said to
be skillfully drawn paper. The
details of their plan have not been
made known, but it is certain that
the Government is to be asked to
guarantee $3.50, 10000 of bonds
bearing , 65-100 per cent. interest.
These bonds are to be secured on
the land grants and roadway and
franchises of the companies, and a
sinking fund is to be created which
will provide for the rapid rcdemp-
ton of these bonds. The great OBJ
ject of this benefcient scheme is of
course to relieve the stringency of
the money market and enable count
less thousands of laborers out of
employment TO earn an honest liY-
ing by building railroads. Mr.. Scott
assures the public, through the
columns of the Philadelphia Press,
that he would not think of propos-
ing any scheme which was not cal
culated for the general good, and
intended to relieve that class for
which he has always evinCed such 8
tender sOlicitude.-N. ]. SIN.

UGLY PUBLIC DEBT SHOWING
This official statement of the pub
lie debt, issued yesterday, shows q
deficiency of revenue for the month
of November of nine million dol
lars. The illegal issue of legal
tender notes has now reached eleV-
en- million dollars. On the 1st of
September the legal-tender and frac-
tional currency outstanding was
1888 5000 after deducting the
cash in the Treasury. The CORES
ponding amount now is STA. ZOO, 900.
The imitation is therefore SIG, 900, 900
in three months. 1t now devOlVes
on Congress to provide means to
enable Mr.. Richardson to draw back
this $26, 100000
Furthermore the United States
Government has undertaken to
maintain a Sinking Fund for the
extinction of the Public Debt
That Sinking Fund now calls for an
annual contribution of about thirty
million dollars. The law establish
ing the Fund may be found in the
act authorizing the issue of the five
twenty bonds. 1t should not be
treated as waste paper.
During the month the six per
cent. Understanding debt decrcas-
cd SD, 257, 900, while the five per
cent. debt increased SIS, 500, 100. The
official estimates of the Departments
call for 1919, 1913, 736 50 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1875, or thir-
teen millions more than the apprO-
priatiOns for the current year. N.

sJ- Judging from the dispatch
es, war with Spain is yet, by no
means improbable. The Spanish
ISL Government finds it difficult TO
control Cuba, in the matter of en-
forcing the protocol. The widest
excitement and the most war like
feeling is reported to prevail in Ha-
wanna, and throughout Cuba. 1t
is at least possible that Spain will
prove powerless to carry out the
letter of the protocol with our Gov
ernment. In such an event var IS
inevitable. Our Government is
still making extensive preparations
for war. Great activity in fitting
out vessels, and increasing the ar
mament of our Sea coast defences
continues undated. Tho situation
is threatening, and may grow more
serious at any moment. However
we are not inclined TO think that
war will result now; but post
ponement of the pending conflict
will only prove temporary. Soon
er later war must cnsue, and the
conquest of Cuba will follow.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

For the first time since the war,
there is a complete unanimity and
the happiest accord in the opinions
of the Southern and Northern peo-
pie. The Virginius Outrages have
touched the popular heart at its
very center, breaking through all
the old alterations and reserves; and
we see in the South the same pride
and confidence in American destiny,
and the same LONELINESS when the
honor of the flag is concerned, that
we remark all through this section
of the countrY.-N. J. .J0"r. Com.

SV- Woodward, County Trus-
tee of Shelby county, absconded
last week with some $4,000 of the
peoples money. In addition to
this it appears that he had hypoth-
coated s55,442 of county warrants,
with a bank in Memphis, upon
which he drew large sums of mon
ey, and gambled it off in stock
speculations. Bills have been filed,
and injunctions issued by the Sec
ond Chancery Court, against John
q. Page and the Mechanics and
Traders Bank, restraining them
from transferring or using these
warrants, which were given as col
lateral for some S35, 700, as the war
rants are worthless, having been
paid. The holders will lose them.
Woodward's bondsmen will have
some $4,000 to $4,000 to pay
And thus we go, ripety-rip-to the
devil.

S@- The Municipal contest in
Memphis is suggestive. The peo-
pie in mass convention, irrespec-
tive of party, nominated Maj. Bus
by for the MayOralty. Instead of
satisfying non-partisans, this move
mont of the people has raised a
perfect howl among those who
have heretofore been foremost in
denouncing party conventions. The
fact is these non-partisans, or indie
pendents (so-called) mean by their
non-partisanship and independence,
"thc loaves ana fishes" of Office. 1t
is quite evident, in the language of
distinguished cotemporary, that
the platform of the Independents,
"consists of only seven planks, five
Ioavss and three fishes"

ba- There is a woman in Iowa,
who has maintained a profound ST.
lence for five years. She has a
husband aud several children
"Some five years ago she lost two
children by scarlet fever, and griv-
ed sorely and would not be cOmfor-
ted. While in this despairing state
she was persuaded to attend a pro-
tracted meeting. The effect upon
her mind was distressing. She felt
that she had committed the unpar-
donable sin; that "the words of her
mouth had not been acceptable in
His sight" and so she recorded
vow that she never again would ut
ter a syllable, and she never has.
For more than five years she has
maintained unbroken silence, and
the two younger children have new
er heard their mothers voice.
Neighbors and friends have sought
10 convince her that her rash vow,
made in diseased state of mind,
was not binding upon her, but
their efforts were fruitlcss, and she
goes on her quiet way, leaving no
duty undone, but showing her love
and sympathy by looks and acts,
but never by 4 word. Her husband
treats her with the tenderest con-
sideration, and evidently loves and
her.

The Republican Journals are
chorusing that Mr.. Fernando Wood
voted for the back-pay grab. He
did not. He was not in Washing
ton when the bill came up for ac-
ton, having been obliged to visit
New York a week earlier, to re-
ceive a new visitor in his family.
We have Mr. Woods authority for
saying that had he been able to be
present in the House he should
have voted against that measure.
The fact that Mr.. Wood is the old
est member in point of service and
entry into Congress of all men of
either party in either House, not
even excepting Alexander Ii. Ste
phens; the fact that amid the job
bling and plundering, the briberies
and the venalitics which have mark
cd the era of Republican ascenden-
cy and smirched the names of every
Republican leader in the House. of
many a Senator, and of two Vice
Presidents, Mr.. Woods record in
Congress is fair and clean as his
ability is uuquestiouablc- these are
facts which may account to the
Journals that helped elect him May

ceived at the hands of the Demo-
cratic minority, many of whom have

OFFICIAL SALARIES. On this
subject, and in discussing the ''back
pay panic" which seems to have
seized upon Congress, the Covrier-
Journal of the 9th SAYS:
Assuredly the late increase was
nothing more than just. There is
scarcely an officer under the Gov
eminent who has been sufficiently
paid, suppOsing him to be 4 capable
official. The old pay OF members
of Congress was wholly inadequate.

dent under the amendment propos-
ed, could veto the modifying clauses
and approve the obnoxious ones,
thereby overriding the majority in

THE SUM-.
WEEKLY, sEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY

THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known
to require any extended recommendation but
the reasons which have already given it fifty
thousand subscribers, and which will, we hope,
give it many thousands more, are briefly as
follows:
1t is frst-rate newspaper. All the news of
the day will be found in it, condensed when
unimportant at full length when of moment,
and always presented in clear, Ineligible,
and interesting manner.
it's first-rate family paper, full of enter
tanning and instructive reading of every kind,
but containing nothing that can offend the
most delicate and scfApulous taste.
1t is a frst-rate story paper. The best tales
and romances of current literatureare carefully
selected and legibly printed in its pages.
1t is first-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agriculs
tural topics regularly appear in this depart
ment.
1t is an independent political paper, belong
ing to no party and wearing no collar. 1t es-
pecially devotes it's energies to the exposure of
the great corruptions that now weaken and dis
grace our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. 1t has no
fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their
supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which 1t pays particular attention
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published.
One dollar a year will secure it for any sub
scriber. 1t is not necessary to get up club

Warm Stables VS.. Blankets.

The health of a horse, like that Of a
man depends very much upon natu-
raj system of life. Artificial systems
require double the care, and however
sleek the horse may look under hea-
Wy coating Of blankets and an OCCASION
al medical sdope," his capacity for en-
durance is much less than Of horse,
which, however rough he may look,
has nerves and endurance built only
upon regular, natural food and expos
ed to the varied changes of the atmos-
phere. It may be all very well for the
fancy to clip the hair all off from the
horse and then cover him with cloth
ing in order to have his coat look fine
and smooth, but it will not do for the
horse. of all work. Nature has provid-
ed covering, and where use is design
ed, the horse needs only that, with good
grooming and a. warm stable; or if a
blanket is ever used, let it be done
whenever the horse is left standing out
of doors in harness. Make the stable
as warm as dirt floor CIR battened
boarding viii permit; give plenty of
bedding; and with abundance of food
the horse is better able to stand labor
and exposure than if kept on board
floor where cold air circulates under
meath and covered with blankets. Our
experience is in favor of dirt floors
without blankets. Dirt floors well lit
tered are no more trouble to keep neat
and clean than board floors, and no
stable with O dirt floor and decently
boarded up will ever be cold enough
to cause a horse to SILVER.
