The Memphis ManifesIO-.Wha hat
bees il Mean?

Some of the citizens of Memphis say
tbdt the signers of the paper we pub
Tsbed last week, which is known as the
'.ToPP and ETHERDGE Circular" do not
mean reputation. What, then, do they
mean They are men of sense certainly,
for many Of them are wealthy merchants
and large landowners in and around
Memphis, and of course they must know
that State tax of twenty cents on the
hundred dollars worth of property will not
raiee enough money to pay the current
expeuges Of the State Government and
the interest on the State debt. Their
movement, if it means anything, means
renudiation. unless it is intended merely
10 defeat the Democratic party by Great
fnc divisions among them The Radical
aarfy created the State debt, and they IN
tend to pay Al if they control the State.
They cannot do otherwise, and in addl
finn to this. we believe that they will IN
crease the State debt alarmingLy. There
will be no divisions among them on this
question Of low taxes. The getters up OF
the Memphis movement may merely
wish. in the manner they have selected
An airide the Conservative forces of the
State by crying Glow taxes, and making
= third party, and thus secure Radical
triumph in the State. They either mean
this or they mean reputation. If they
mean rcpudiation, let Us ask the mer,
chants who signed that paper if they are
vyi,lirr Agr their debtors to treat them
az they rrooose to treat the creditors OF
al. STATE. and that is, suspend indefinite
" The Yaymcnt Of their debts, because

owners willing for the same rule to be al
s,lied to them by their tenants? Com

.igued that paper did not read it and did

only excuse we can offer. All Of us are
for Rctreuchment, Reform and as Low
Taxes as are consistent with sustaining
our State credit, but none of us should be

Few plain Questions.

II Is well known that the burden Of tax
alton in Memphis and in Shelby County
i from city and county, and not from
State taxes In fact, the State taxes are
comparatively nothing. Now, We ask,
Jl;d not many of the signers of the ToFP-
IruErIrGE circular which means repu'
diation of the State debt, advocate every
scheme that has been suggested in
Shelly County that has increased the
debt Of the city and fthe county? Was
mot a bill introduced III the last Legisla-
sure 10 compel County Courts to submit
am proposition for building railroad
whether in or out of the State, for which
five hundred taxpayers would petition,
no matter how wild and visionary the
scheme might be? Vas not that bill
.,I,.,,o.,I -. = -E.La
very men that now pretend to be in favor
OF low taxes? Did not Gov, BRowS. bv
his veto of a railroad bill, save Shelby
County from an enormous increase of her
county debit Is not this whole cry at
Memphis about Low Taxes gotten up
10 subserve personal and party views
Are the planners and originators disap-
pointed politicians, who are trying, under
the popular cry Of Low Taxes" to lead
good and unsuSpecting people into the
formation of a third party, which is to
hold the balance of power in Tennessee
and to put them selves into Officer The
substantial business men of Memphis
should have nothing to do with these adj
veNturers in politics, who occupy the same
position TO the two parties that the "Cow
Bows" did to she two armies in our Revo-
lutionary War ready to plumber either. |
We do not believe that many who signed |
that paper endorse its sentiments or have |
the same objects that its originatoTs had |
Our duty to the State and to the peo- |
ple requires US 10 expose the plans of
these men who, under pretense of Low
Taxes, will fasten burdens upon us far
more intolcrSble than we now bear, and |
we shall not hesitate 10 do so. We are |
not interested in the bonds, but we are IN |
terested in preserving the fair name and |
fame Of the State

We are glad to see that the Shell
vile Commercial, a JOHNSON paper, is ad
vocating strict party discipline and organ
ization. 1t says: Political indepen-
dence, in party sense, is humbug, and
the man who strides the position is al
most invariably made the stool-pigeon of
party organisms. He IS nobodys man.
He is used only for the occasion. Par
ties are necessary, and being so, must
have rganization-must have system.
Let US appeal to the members Of the
party not to suffer themselves to be lulled
into sense of security, and become in
different and careless, by reason of this
universal and harmonious feeling that
now pervades the party, but let each man
remember that he still has an important
work to perform if he would make our
victory complete These wise words
are apples of gold set in pictures of sill

LAST Saturday the different districts in
Maury County selected men to carry
around the locked ballot boxes for the
Democrats and Conservatives of the Coun-
ty to deposit their votes in for candidates
for the different offices. So far as we have
heard the gentlemen selected for this
important work are wisely chosen. They
Sqow the politics of almost every man IN
their respective districts, and being hon
orabIe men, will not influence the vote OF
any man for or against any parhcu-
lar candidate. The boxes will not be
taken around until the last week in April,
and in the meantime If is the duty OF ev-
cry voter TO choose full ticket, and have
his mind thoroughly made up by the time
the box comes around. Whoever does
not vote will have but very poor excuse
for opposition to conventions.

there will be no convention called by the

State will have TO manage the matter
themselves, in their own way. 1t is sug-
gested that each county appoint three
delegates on the first Monday in June, to
