The DUFFY TELEiEApH Bill, OF which
We had brief mention i'll yesterday s
AFPEaL, is endorsed as "a sensible piece
of legislation" by the Sacramento
Record of Thursday. 1t seems that the
said Bill came on in the shaps of an
amendment to the penal code, and that
ii passed by the unanimous vote OF the
Senate. The San Francisco Post has
the following synopsis of the provisions
of this important enactment:
The bill in brief adds two more sec
lions to the Penal Code, which require
that every telegraph company or owner
of line of telegraph shall post in each
OF its offices a schedule Of its charges,
both for private and for press dispatches
which charges shall in no instance be
deviated from, and that any discrimina-
tons as between individuals or between
newspapers shall be deemed a misde-
meanor, and be punished by a fine of
not exceeding $500 or six months im-
prisonment, or both such fine and I'M
prison;nent; the employs or officer max
ing the discriminating charge being the
offending party. The bill does not pre-
tend to regulate telegraph rates. bat
only to provide that all patrons of tele-
graph lines shall BE treated alike.
And this is tie Bill which is denounc-
ed in n poverty stricken inusndo by a
press dispatcher as calculated to make
the country press pay the same rates as
the city papers.

WE SEEN to have offended the great
and good man who preserves the dignity
and illustrates the unarproachable viz
tue of the older and smaller hebdomadal
published ut Reno. So soreiy is he e1-
ascerba.ed that he rises to . personal
explanation and reveals some OF the in
nsr workings of a past and hitherto
hidden political history. Just wherein
our otfense lies We are not quite certain;
bat Us he refers to an editorial article
which arpeared in the APPEAL OF the
2lst inst, We are led TO the inference
that there was something therein con-
tanned which hurtfuliy wounded his del
icate and sensitive nature. What tha.
something is, We can only suess-and
we guess it was cur small rhetorical
flourish ending with an allusion TO 1.-The
professional Indictment" Still, what
that has TO do with any pecuniary as
sistancs which may OF may not have
been received, or movements made, or
letters written, or nominations obtained
by. the person who is known as the
editor OF the APHElL, we are at 4 loss 10
understand. At any rate We doubt if
the public is much interes ted in such
matters; and we believe that the general
reader cares as little for review CT these
u1important AMI irrelevant events as the
Shah OF Persia is in tbs editorials which
used to grace the Democratic side of the
Crescent when General Tom Williams
presided over half OF that eccentric
journal, ard the gifted and aniiab!e and
pure minded and incorruitijle person
who is now employed in tie capacity OF
writing editor for that curious and ap
parently unowned and Unfa;he,ed speci-
men of weekly journalism, lent his dis
interested efforts in giving tone to the
other half thereof. As to the iTnputa-
ton that We ever had the temerity to
offer bride to this exascerbated person,
we cannot believe We ever ventured upon
any such n course. We have done some
rash things upon momentary impulse; but
never so hazardous thing as that.
II ,wever much We may have desired to
temp that stern reformer 10 swervs from
the path of rectitude or conviction. it
c,naot be possible that We ever had the
hlrdihood and moral derravity to tender
bride to him. We'd as soon think of

the tru,h:-For We honestly believe he
never had one to sell.

Confederate Monumental Fund.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
AS one of the contributors to the fund
collected some years ago to erect a mon
ument to the Confederate Dead,
buried in Elmwood, | claim the right to
ask what amount of money was raised,
and who has the fund on hand2 The
question is often asked when will the
monument be erected2 Many have
hoped to see it Use above the lowly
mounds of brave patriots who sacrificed
their lives in the attempt to free the
South. Shall we stand idly by and hear
that other cities are raising monuments
to their heroic dead, while all we can do
is to make foundation upon which it is
proposed some day to erect shaft?
Saturday is announced as the time for
the annual decoration exercises, and 1t
seems to me no more fitting occasion
could inspire liberality and zeal to has
ten on the good work, so that on the
recurrence of next annual decoration in
1875, the monument could be unveiled
to thousands who would gather in Elm
wood to view it and miDgle their tears Of
sympathy with many poor mothers
whose sons came from distant States to
defend us, and who still mourn for their
cherished dead.
Cannot the managers of the Monu-
mental society appoint committee
whose duty it shall be to make an lDves'
tigation as to the whereabouts Of this
fund and report on next Saturday, 1t
will be easy enough to raise money to
build a five or ten thousand dollar mon.
ument, if the amount already collected
can be made available, but not a dollar
will be given until this fund is applied
to the purpose for which it was sacredly
designed to be applied. AS the time be
tween now and Saturday is short, the
committee should be appointed at once

In obedience to a call made by the

last evening and passed the following
ordinance:
Be IL ordained by the General COHn-
Gil of the CITY of Memphis, That the
following parcel of land-to-wit, begin
at a point on the west side of Front
street, one hundred and forty.eight and
a half feet north of the north line of
Madison street, thence west with the
south line of the street, running to the
river, three hundred feet, thence south
and parallel with Front street three hun
dred and sixty-three feet, thence east
three hundred feet to the west side of
Front street, thence north with the west
side Of Front street three hundred and
sixty-three feet to the beginning-be,
and the same is hereby, donated to the
United States of America, for the pur-
pose of erecting thereon a custom-house,
and for no other purpose; provided,
however, that this grant is only intended
10 convey such title as the city of Mem
phis has to said property, and is upon
the condition that the same be occupied
by the United States of America, and
the erection OF a custom-house be begun
within two years from this date.
It now remains to be seen what Con-
gress will do in the matter. Mr.. A. B.

ton at the proceedings. The new Gus.

The rights of cats to spark on the
weod.shed is being infringed upon. The
board Of Assistant Aldermen Of the city
of New York, day before yesterday, told
the owners of cats that they must pay
an annual license of three dollars on
each yowler ard squaller to be found
running at large. In case the owner IS
not willing to come down with three dol
lars, the wicked cat is to be destroyed
and the destructionist receives half the
amount from the city for putting another
end TO the feline. Il New York pays
three dollars a head for dead cats, Il IS
safe to say that these slanghterers will
receive from six TO nine millions OF dol
lars. We respectfully submit if this Is
not little too much protection to sau-
sage-makers.

We had the pleasure yesterday OF
meeting DIR. a. j. Foster, formerly OF
Florence, Alabama, but for several
years very successful planter at Ben
nett's Landing, Mississippi. He not
only plants cotton but corn, and is con-

of cotton yet in his Clubhouse. This
year he is planting $50 acres of corn,
and will no doubt have plenty to sell to
his less provident neighbors. When
ever the people of the South, as body,
come to this basis, they will become
easy prosperous and independent. Raise
