Civil Rights.

We suppose the most enthusiastic
Republicans scarcely looks for the pass
age Of the Civil Rights bill. Its pro-
visions are monstrous, and nothing but
a morbid sentiment-a false concep-
ton of freedom or humanity-would
ever consent to its becoming law.
And it is not probable that such a
sentiment will become widespread.
The people of this country are liberal,
but they are just, and. above all things,
practical. The negroes, being free,
must achieve the rest for themselves.
1t is the most mistaken philanthropy
to teach them to look to legislation for
every imaginary advantage, or for re-
dress for every imaginary wrong.
But the fact of the bill itself is
horrid nightmare upon the tender
breasts of that class at the South, who.
from conscious ignorance, feel that the
provisions of the law would only de-
grade them. We have seen its effects
in the elections that have just occur
red in North Carolina, Tennessee and
Kentucky-States in which the class
alluded to forms large proportion of
the population five may judge from
the unparalleled changes that have been
witnessed in these States since the last
general election. The Civil Rights
bill is to be the measure with which
the Republican party will destroy it.
SELF. The Republican politicians of
North Carolina and Tennessee are of
the extreme school of fanatics-or.
rather, of the abject class of satellites,
who look TO others for their inspira-
ton, and hope to make up in zeal what
they know they lack in judgment.
These fellows have urged the question
of the Civil Rights bill with ali posi-
bic arguments, thus giving a weapon
to the better class of men, morally and
mentally, that the latter have not been
slow to use. The result is before. us
and tells its own story. North Caro-
lima, which gave Grant over twenty
thousand majority, now goes for the
Conservative, or Democratic ticket, BY
a majority of nearly five thousand
The State of Tennessee presents al
most as striking a change, even Knox
county, the home of the notorious
Brownlow, going for the Democratic
candidates by handsome majority.
! The Conservative element of the
country can well afford the discussion
of question that produces such re-
sults-results which, in themselves
will forever prevent the Bill from be-
coming law in the Unbelievable
/ Courier.

THE suubbing of the President by
leading Radicals and Radical conven-
tons is thus referred to by the New
York Evening Post:
ut is subject of extensive remark
that the recent address of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee failed
to commend the official course of Pres
ident Grant, or to refer to his services
while in the army. 1t is also notorious
that few public gatherings of Republi-
cans during this campaign-nUne of
importance We may say-have even
recognized him as the head of the par
ty. In one or two instances, notably
in Maine, this omission has been ex
cused on the slender ground of over
sight; but it is obvious that an indii-
ference towards the President has
grown up, and is still growing, and that
this is the only reasonable explanation
of the failure to comply with the ordi-
nary courtcsies of political party to-
wards its chief

A Pretty Fancy.

When day begins to 90 up to heaven
at night, it does not spread a pair OF
wings and fly aloft like bird. 1t just
climbs softly up on a ladder. 1t sets
its red sandal on the shrub you have
watered these three days, lest itshould
perish with thirst; then it steps on the
tree We sit under, and thence to the
ridge of the roof from the roof to the
chimney, to the tall elm; and from the
elm to the tall church spire; and then
to the threshold of heaven; and thus
you can see it go up as though it walked
up red roses.-JcreDiy Taylor.

not call it daypo, as they do, instead OF

ly 500 per cent. Towhat is all this at
tributable ? Certainly not to the mr.
creased productions of the country
contiguous to yeur city, for that was IN
considerable. Not to the great artery
of commerce flowing by your western
boundary. for its tide flowed in 1850
as in 1860. Then there can be but
one answer to the question The iron
rail and the locomotive gave Mem
phis this unexampled commercial pros
perity.
COTTON TRADE OF MEMPHIS.
From the year 1872 to 1861 the
amount of cotton grown within an area
described by radius of one hundred
miles, Memphis being the center, was
not very largely increased, certainly
not to be compared to the increased
trade in that great staple. The statis-
ties of the cotton trade in no city of
America approaches those of Mem
phis. Taken from your own reports
are they as follows:
Year. Bales. Value.
-L...-...................-l63,OO s6,5OO,OO0
IS5l-2 -l72 900 6,S80O00
iS6J-l b1S lS,oUo,OoO
To what is this astonishing and un-
precedented growth in the cotton trade
attributable? When you remember
that Memphis in 1850 did not have
one mile of
and in 1860 she had the Memphis and
Charleston, with all Its rami6ed con-
nectiOns, at Grand Junction, with the
Mississippi Central; at Corinth with the
Mobile and Ohio; at Decatur with the
Nashville and Decatur; at Stevenson
with the Nashville aud Chattanooga
thence on TO Chattanooga, rising city
itself. with the East Tennessee and
Virginia Railroad, connecting it with
all the North and Northeastern lines,
and the whole Georgia and South Car
olina network of railroads. She had
the Tennessee aud Mississippi railroad
giving heraccess to the most fertile and
productive regions of Mississippi, and
connecting her in a direct line with
New Orleans. She had the Memphis
and Ohio leading to the north boundary
Of the State, and thence on the lakes
crossing the Memphis and Ohio and
Mississippi Central Railroad, and
Northwestern not quite completed
These are the results of your railroad
enterprises aud investments; these are
the fruits Of the taxes which you have
been called upon to pay to the State
in part, but in much larger proper
ton to your county and city treasury
This state of things exists to a greater
or less extent in other parts of the
State. But perhaps l have already
enlarged upon the financial question
beyond legitimate limits of letter
There are features of our finances
which it will be my pleasure to discuss
on another occasion.

CISCINNATI MUSICAL FESTIVAL
ENGAGEMENT OF THEODORE THOMAS
As MUSICAL DIEECToR-Final and com
plete arrangements have within few
DAYS been made with Theodore Thomas,
by which he at once assumes the musical
dictatorship of the Cincinnati Musical
Festival for 1875. Mr.. Thomas's magniti-
cent orchestra WILDE increased for the
Festival to nearly double its present
number, from musicians who have pre-
viouSly been members of his orchestra.
The grand orchestra for the Festival will
be completed by Mr.. Thomas from
musicians in the West. The members
for the grand chorus have already been
formed. As early as last winter several
singing societies 0fthis and ncighboring
cities in all some five hundred persons,
began the practice ofthe music for tn"
Festival The details for the Organiza-
ton of the Festival are still going on.
Several highly important choral and
instrumental works will be performed
at this Festival for the first time in
America. In few weeks Mr.. Thomas
will make public announcement OF his
programme for the Festival.-CmciHndt'
