The GAINESVILLE Chronicle says: In
1860 Beecher used to quote passage of
Scripture thus: He that believeth and
is baptised land don't own a nigger)
shall be saved. This scurrilous perver-
sion of the text, and the anti-Christian
spirit that suggested it, so demoralized
the character Of the Plymouth saint
that he may derive comfort, if not sal
walton, from interpolating the passage
thus: He that believeth and is bap-
tised land don't own more than dozen
mistresses) shall be saved"

governor JoHS G. Brown has written
a very able letter to number of Mem

dressed him in regard to the financial
condition Of the State and his views on

valuable information concerning the
resources Of the State, the character and
amount of the State debt and our prob.
able ability to pay. He is also square
and plain on the civil rights bill. We
have not had time to study the document
as it deserves, and have, therefore, to
defer comment. 1t is well worth pre-
serving, and we shall at least lay it aside
for careful examination and future

OUR MERCHANTS.

Memphis is empnaHcaiiy comma
cial city. The merchants are her glory
and pride: without them there would be
no banks, insurance companies, steam
boats, railroads, schools or churches. The
manufactures Of the place would not
sustain population larger than that of
Collierville. The most Of our merchants
have acquired property and expect to
live and die here. No class, then, can
be more interested in the welfare of the
county and city. Whatever touches
Memphis unfavorably touches them.
The professional and la5oring classes
are in great measure dependent indi-
rectly upon the commercial classes, at
the same time all are more or less mu-
tually dependent. The merchants have
been compelled to pay double taxes on
their capital invested. The merchant
never escapes; his goods are exposed to
view and the collector can distrain with
out moments notice. AS class they
contribute more than any other in pro-
portion both to capital and numbers to
the support of the State and county
governments, and should therefore
feel greater interest in seeing
what use is made of the money. But
they have many of them made the great
mistake of ignoring what they are
pleased to call politics, and some
scarcely vote at all. On the present
occasion, however, a marked change may
be observed. They see that this contest
by the Conservatives is not only to pro-
tect their hearthstones and their affairs
from dissertation, but that it directly
affects the commercial standing of Mem
phis. 1t is to be plain in one view a
question of dollars and cents. What |
capitalist or white mechanic thinks OF |
going to New Orleans or even Vicksburg2 |
Memphis is in danger. A party depend |
ing solely upon the ignorance of misled |
negroes seeks to grasp the Offices of
Shelby county and manage its business
affairs. Under such rule the merchants
will soon find county taxes revived and
increased, and every commercial interest
depressed if not ruined. We appeal to
The merchants, therefore, not only 10
7ote, but to see that all their employees
1ote the ticket or quit the premises.
This election can and must be carried,
It whatever cost of effort or outlay.
This may be called prescription. We
,are not what it is called. We are
earnest in this matter, because it is
reighted with more serious conse-
luences than many have supposed.
The Federal Government not only re-
luires its employees to vote the party
icket but to work for it and contribute
money in proportion to their salaries.
Almost any merchant can secure the
,ote of his porter by going to the ballot
,ox with him. Several hundred votes
night thus be secured, and each one
counts two, because it is one taken from
he other side. And when the employe
cannot be voted, turn him off and hire

MR., KINGSLEY.

The appearance Of Mr.. Charles Kings
ley before Boston audience, and the SUB
stance of his lecture on Westminster Abbey,
have already been detailed in the columns OF
The TRIBUNE. We present, however this
morning on our fourth page, verbatim report
of his lecture, as delivered last night in the
hall of the Young Mems Christian Association.
We shall be disappointed If the engagements
of Canon Kingsley while in this country con-
fine him to the larger cities, and fail to bring
him into contact with certain classes of cdu-
Gated people, whose manners, both of living and
thought, are totally unrepresented in metro
politan circles
From these people, the shrewd. thoughtful
reading men and women, who live and die
unknown to the public, but form the controlling
intelligence of inland towns and country vii
lagos, Mr.. Kingsley. if he had come among
