On Tuesday evening last the agent OF

ment with copy of Minister Sickles
dispatch to Secretary Fish, announcing
the adoption of republican form of
government by the Spanish Cortes, the
agent pledging himself to furnish copy
of the same to the agent Of the Ameri-
can Press Association. This pledge,
however, was not fulfilled. The Associ-
ated Press agent appropriated the ais
patch for the exclusive benefit of the
monopoly. This breach of faith having
become known to the State Department
Secretary Fish has addressed letter to
the agent of the American Press Associ-
alton expressing his regrets at the fail
ure of the dispatch to reach the whole
press of the country, for whose informa-
ton it was intended particularly, as at
that moment, owing to strict telegraphic
censorship at Madrid, no press dis
patches relating to the situation OF
affairs were allowed TO be forwarded.
Secretary Fish desires this explanation
to be made to the papers receiving the
news from the American Press Associ-
alton who failed to receive the dispatches
in question.

"The Rest and Cheapest Hotel In
America"

America"
There are great many hotels in this
country whose proprietors, with sense
of confidence that is truly touching, will
believe that the above heading refers to
their particular hotel, and no other. II
these proprietors were all assembled in
a body at a certain time and place, and
a trumpet was to sound the above quo
tation, wouldn't each and every proprie-
tor there cry out as if with one voice:
That's my house2" We say, MOI
But our travelling correspondent,
whose ORGANIZATIONS extend through
every quarter of the globe, says, it is,
Alas too true" and we submit to his
superior judgment.
We mean, however, to speak Of New
York hotels. There is one hotel on
Broadway, that certainly is the largest,
best and cheapest frst-class hotel in that
city.
We wish to say, and experience will
bear us out, that when guest receives
an elegantly furnished room, with meals
at his command, from early breakfast
every hour till midnight, with perfect
partor on ,cheels for an elevator to ear.
~ him from one floor TO another, and
all for So per day, we think the proprie-
tor of that hotel may come forward and
claim the above title for his house. The
Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway, upon
which has been lavished nearly two mil
lions (S2, 000, 000) of dollars, is that hotel.
Its proprietor, H. L. Powers, judiciously
discriminates between the upper and
lower floors, fixing the prices at So, 50 50
and 81 per day, according to location.
The Grand Central is the only hotel we
know of that does busin ess on this sys-
tenn.

ADJUSTMENTS.


MEMPHIS TnEArER-Quite larg'
audience attended the theater last nigh
Ia order TO witness Miss Katie Mayhem
the beneficiary, in Blade o Grass. The
audienee.was almost composed exclus
lively Of young Memphians, among whom
Miss Mayhem is favorite. The faii
beneficiary appeared in four different
characters, aud won large share Of ap
plause during the evening. Miss May
hew was supported in most creditabls
manner by Mr.. Rainforth, Mr.. Book
Mr.. Rand, Mr.. Shiels, Miss Bernard and
Mrs. Hodges. The drama itself is Of
the sensational order but rather tame
in many Of its scenes and incidents.
We do not think the play will ever be-
come a success on the stage unless 1t is
revised and improved by the author. AT
the matinee to-day Blade o Grass will
be repeated and again at the perform
ance tonight. Next Monday evening
Miss Ada Gray will appear in Whose
Wife. wOra
GRAM OPERA HoUsE.--LeRoi Carotte
was again presented by the lMartinetti-
Ravel troupe of pantomimists last even
ing. The spectacular drama is full Of
sensational incidents, tricks, transfer
nations, etc. The costuming by the
troupe is very appropropriate. As usual,
the Van Hamme ballet troupe received
considerable applause. At the matinee
to-day lie Roi Carotte will be repeated,
and the troupe will give closing per-
Torrance tonight Next Tuesday even
ing the wslLknown tragedian, Joseph
Proctor, will appear.
ROBERT EMMET.-This fine drama will
be put on the boards Of the Grand Opera
House next Monday evening. The
members of the Garrick Club will APP
pear as the dramatis persona. The
play will be well mounted, and will, no
doubt, attract large audience, not only
on account of its intrinsic merit, but on
account Of the good cause for which 1t
will be brought out by the young gentle
men OF the Club, who intend turning
over the entire receipts to the Memphis
Bethel. The members Of the Garrick
Club are all well known Memphians,
and their debut as amateur performers
will be looked forward to with interest.
Our Irish fellow-citizens, among whom
the name and fame of Robert Emmett is
revered, will turn out in force to witness
the drama. Quite a large number of
tickets for reserved seats has been sold
already. Those desiring reserved seats
can secure them by applying at Hollen-
berg's music store, where diagram of
the house is kept for the inspection of
visitors.
OLYMPIC THEATER.-The only variety
show in the city is that controlled by
Manager Buchanan on Washington
street. Tonight the great attraction,
Mile Aline LaFavre, will introduce her
celebrated Can-Can troupe. The Can
Can will be presented in manner
unknown outside of Paris. LaFayre
dances the Can-Can with grace and
abandon well calculated to create aston
ishment and pleasure. Among the new
stars may be mentioned Miss Ophelia
Starr, danseuse; Miss Allie Love, vocal
list; Mr.. John Manning, character actor;
and Mile Alice Gilbert, aerial queen.
Twenty-Five performers appear nightly
at the Olympic, forming corps of va
riety artists unequaled in the Southwest.

mailed has passed the House, and seems
in fair way to get through the Senate.
1t is thought that it is calculated very
much to embarrass aud diminish the
circulation Of the press, and also reduce
profits. Much surprise is expressed that
the newspapers Of the country should
have taken the matter so quietly.

1T is noted as a rather curious and
instructive fact that the Liberals in Con-
gress, such as Schurz, Trumbull and
Fenton, who were snubbed at the be.
ginning of the session by the leaders
and the rank and file Of the dominant
faction, have of late received unusual
consideration from the same quarter.
The confident, imperious manners Of
Morton, Carpenter, Conkling, Sherman,
Anthony and others have perceptibly
changed since the Credit Mobilier in
vestigations. The Liberals have gained
ground and find no difficulty in making
themselves heard when they demand
attention in either house. Mr. Sumner
enjoys the turn Of affairs, perhaps, as
well as any Democrat.

EAST TENNESSEE.

A little more than two years ago bill
was proposed in the Legislature looking
TO the formation of a new State out OF
the Tennessee counties east Of the Cum
berland Mountains. 1t was movement
10 revive the ancient State Of Frank
land of which John Sewer was the first
and last Governor if it legally had one
at ALL Several members Of the Legisla-
ture were in earnest about the separa'
lion. but their enthusiasm was cooled
somewhat when they found that some OF
the Middle and West Tennessee repre-
sentatiyes we're more than ready and
willing to- let the hayward sister depart
in peace" while number Of heavy tax
payers, C. NJ. MCGEE among the number,
from East Tennessee, were opposed to
the separation on purely economical
principles. Hon. Ham King, Of Madi-
son, introduced burlesque bill, which,
printed in the LEDGER at the time, ere
ated much merriment, and was the
death Of the newly created State, as well
as the aspirations of a half-dozen or so
embryo Governors, United States Sen
ators, Treasurers, Penitentiary Superin-
tendents, Door Keepers, Messengers,
Public Printers, perhaps, etc. But, to
our surprise, We learn that similar
movement is on foot, strengthened
this time by several homogeneous
counties of Western North Carolina,
that are willing, it is claimed, to come
into the new State. In 1861, when nearly
all East Tennessee was for the Union,
and the rest of the State went South
wards, the people Of that section were
strongly in favor Ola separation, and
would have voted for such a proposition
by large majority, if left to themselves
without military interference; but most
of them are glad that the opportunity
was never presented, and would to-day
vote it down by ten to one. The western
counties of North Carolina no doubt
have more to complain of than any
county in Tennessee. They are few and
weak, and not connected with the
rich and populous parts Of their State
or with their capital by rail, and little
sympathy or of common interest exists
to attach them to the rest of the State.
Their restlessness can be accounted for,
but East Tennessee is linked to Middle
and West Tennessee by bands Of iron,
and the different sections are in daily
communication. The glory and strength
of the State is its diversity of soil, eli
mate, resources and productions. The
different sections have learned in the
Legislature at least to understand and
respect each other and to unite for the
common veal Of the State. A separa-
ton, although agitated somewhat, is not
seriously contemplated by the people of
either section, for those who reflect well
know that it would be expensive, unprof-
liable and weakening to each of the di-
vided sections. But if this question has
to come up at every recurring Legisla-
ture we hope the people of East Tennes-
see will be allowed to vote on it once
Just to show how few really have any
idea of setting up State for themselves.

SAD AFFAIR.-A very sad affair occur
red in Bedford county, Pennsylva on
Thursday evening Of last week, the partic-
ulsrs of which, as far as we have been able
to gather, are as follows: Mr.. HARRY
GATES, a gentleman about seventy years
of age, was stopping with his 500, MARTIN
GATES, who residcs along the old plan k
road. During the course of the day, the
little children came to the conclusion tina,
it would be right and proper to have chick
en- for supper for Grandpa, and after COO.
sulting mamma on the question, who acqui-
esced, they apprised him Of the arrange
ments made, and having been told that he
was good shot with a rife, requested him
to shoot the chicken. The old gentleman
had no desire to display his skill, and was
on the point of refusing, when the mother
interceded in behalf of the children. The
rife was brought out and loaded, and grand
pa started TO the barn, which is but short
distance from the house, TO kill the chick
en-. The mother and n little boy about
four years of age stood in the door to watch
the proceedings. The old gentleman wan
dered around to the far side OF the barn,
when be espied plump, fat pullet, perch
ed on q stick on the barn floor. He took
aim and fired. The chicken dropped, with
it's head severed from its body, but the ia.
tal bullet sped on a mission for which il
was not intended, and after passing through
the barn door (inch bosrd) struck the chill
in the face Immediately under the left eye,
and penetrating the brain, caused death il
four minutes. The borpaved family and
the heart broken grandfather have our
warmest sympathies. Bedford Inquirer.

The origin Of The epithet "blue, " which is
sometimes bestowed upon Prsby terians. ia ac.
counted for as follows: The distinct dress OF
the Scotch Presbyterian clergy was a blue gown
md bio"d blue bonnet. The Episcopslian cler-
~, on the other hand, either wore no distinctive
dress in public services or else wore black
gown. From this arose the contrasting epithets
Of Black Prelacy" and "Ti ne Glue Presbyteri-
