WHY DON'T THEY SHOW THEIR
TRUE HANDS:

The McKenzie TiaieS of March % has
this to say in regard to the Robertson
Topp manifesto which a Memphis cor
respondent furnished US several days
ago:
This circular is being scattered
broadcast over the State, ostensibly in
the interest of low taxes, but really to
build up a party in favor of repudia-
ton. No sane man will contend that
20 cents on the hundred dollars worth
Of property is enough to pay the ex-
penses of the State government and
leave any surplus to be applied to the
extinguishment of its debt. Whythen
this effort to deceive the people with
the hobby of low taxes, when the real
object is liquidation? Why not unfurl
the flag Of reputation at once and
make an honest fight of 1t? Why sail
under false colors? What is to be
gained by this shallow subterfuge? Do
the mover IN this matter think they
can involve the people of Tennessee in
the black slough Of reputation, by
such shallow tricks as this? The cir
cuItr as might have been expected
bears no signature, but it requires no
Solomon to perceive in every line and
word the impress Of the mind of En-
Etheridge. Is an artful appeal to the
preiudices of our people, and is calcu-
lated to do much mischief.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston
Advertiser has been attending various
Sheriffs' sales of real estate in Georgia.
He paints a sad picture-land which
cost forty thousand dollars going for
six thousand. One plantation of over
two thousand acres in Houston county
sold previous to the wal for twenty-five
thousand dollars; afterwards, with stock
and farming implements included, it
brou. lat sixteen thousand; 1T was sold
2 few days ago for less than four thou
sand. And yet Georgia is one Of the
most prosperous-if by a stretch of the
term any can be called prosperous-of
the cotton States. But Georgia has
never recovered from the staggering
blow dealt the industry and enterprise
of its citizens by the Radicals who run
riot while they ruled the State. The
system of robbery instituted by the
carpet-baggers has been such as not
only to deplete the public treasury, but
to bankruptthe taxpayers, andG Georgia
is suffering the effects of this ruinous
policy yet.

THE advantages Of competition are
receiving another illustration. a rail-
road war has began in New York be-
tween the Erie, New York Central and
Pennsylvania lines, in reference to the
transportation of immigrants arriving
at New York. 1t appears hat the
three roads had agreed upon a common
rate, which resulted in a pretty equal
division of the business; but it is under
stood that the Erie company succeeded
in obtaining an advantage over its COM
petitors by selling tickets in European
cities, and this has led to d considera-
bic reduction by the New York Cen
tral Railroad company, made to re-
cover the business which they were
likely to lose. The Erie and Pennsyl-
vania lines have announced similar re-
auctions, so that fares to Chicago and
st. Louis are reduced from S13 to 81,
and from SIS So to 50 SIS. This is a
good thing for the immigrants as long
as it lasts.

CONCERNING civil service reform
Mr.. Morton remarked in the Senate the
other day that latter Gen. Grant took
up the subject and put it into practical
operation, the gentleman from Missouri
CNr. Schurz) had nothingmore to say
Mr.. Schurz might have retorted, says
the Chicago Times, by saying that Mr..
r. J. Hinton's affidavit shed a good
deal of light on Gen. Grants sort of
civil service reform. But, adds that
journal, the Missouri Senator said
nothing, perhaps because he couldn't
command the words in which to do JUS
tice TO Mr. Grants wretched and utter
ly failed farce called civil service re-
form.

THE world is now at peace so far as
international wal is concerned in all
quarters except that distant isle of
Sumatra, in which the Dutch are con-
testing with the Sultan of Acheen pos
session of the rich spice islands of
Polynesia. That thewaris for the pos
session by Europeans of these, is most
that lends it interest to us. 1t borrows
some little interest too from being the
latest conflict between Christians and
Mahometans, and has a touch of the
Spanish and Moorish desperation in
Grenada. The latest advices indicated
that the Dutch were making sure
progress toward the subjugation of the
country.
