quiring by what right Mr.. French Off
ciated as sheriff and tax-cOiiectOr of the
county, was tried before Judge Davis
yesterday, and the judge held, in a
lengthy opinion, that both Offices are
absolutely vacant. An appeal has been
taken TO the supreme court. As causes

In speaking Of the efforts made TO in

1.-The citizens of cur coast are both loyal
and law-abiding, and the presence Of

the move is, nevertheless, q good oGe.
Nowhere could our soldiers be more

On Tuesday night next Messrs. Whit
tie ard Bliss, the two evangelists who
have made SO glorious record as reli-
g.0us revivalists IN Nashville and else
where, will 1egin series Of meetings at
the GreeIlsw Operahouse, which we
have no doubt will be attended by our
people, regardless OF sect, to an extent
mOrG than equal to the capacity Of even
Dat very large house. The pastors of
all our Protestant churches are taking q
hearty interest in promoting the sue
csssful Inauguration OF these meetings,
which are sure to gather a momentum
that will be felt by the entire community.
Whether we believe in revivals or not
IN their efiicscy for lasting benefits in
personal csses-of one thing we are Ger.
tain, that no series Of such meetings can
oe held in any large city without accom-
plishIng great gOod-if in nothing else,
10 an increased inquiry into religious
truth. We believe we can claim with
truth that the ministers Of Memphis, of
al religions, are lsborious body of
men, and tnat they are each in their al
ioLted spheres doing good work. They
are Uuremittng as teachers and in pas
torsl visits tions, but do not think them
selves above the assistance which Messrs.
Whi5tle aud Bliss will give in arousing
the whole people to a sense Of their obli-
cations and awakening them to the inn
portauce Of church organizations. In
this enlarged view Of the good these
true eysngelists do, We welcome them
20 the city, ana trust that Memphis will
be added to the list of their triumphs.

Letter from Colonel scott.

San Francisco Call, 2d.J
Colonel Thomas Scott has written q
letter to the railroad committee OF for
ty, at San Diego, breathing q hopeful
spirit in connection with the Texas and
Pacific railroad. He thinks there is lit
tie doubt that his bill will pass to secure
the governments credit for its cOnstruc-
tion. The feeling of the country, he
says, has undergone q great change in
regard to it, but that congress became
aware Of this fact Sc late in the session
that it had no time for the consideration
of the bill. The measure was urged, he
says, upon the following broad grounds
FiTst-That competing railway be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
was natural necessity.
SecOnd-Thst it would practically
save the government many millions of
dollars annually in the maintenance
and transportation OF troops in the
southern Territories, and that this saw
ing would amount to more per snnum
than the interest on the entire cost Of
the road.
Third-Thst it was an act of justice to
the south, and would do more to rebuild
it and restore its prosperity than any
other measure that could De devised,
and,
FOurth-That it would do much to re-
vive the present depressed condition Of
the country, and by starting mines,
mills and furnaces, would give employ
ment to many thousands of labOring
men now in actual want.
This is Colonel ScJtt's view Of the

THE reception and ovasions which
awaited the arrival of Ex-President
Davis ia Houston, Texas, an account of
which We publish in another column,
were worthy alike Of the recipient and
the people who thus testified their es-
TEEN and respect for one OF the abIest
statesmen OF his time, a man TO whose
genius for government and great execu-
tive ability we owe the continued exist
enee for four years Of Confederscy that
was for the last two, to use Grants
words, nothing but shell. 1t will be
seen that Mr.. Davis quite met the anti
cipations formed of him by the people
Of Texas, aud that IN all the speeches
and addresses which he was called upon
TO deliver, he impressed himself
upon those who heard him as quite up
20 the high mark he attained to years
ago, when he entered the United States
senate and upheld himself the peer of

grateful 10 the heart of the ex-President.

The war and its issues be buried, and
that We all, both north and south, bend

known TO require commentator from the
having at one time conducted the BEACON,
and for the past two years engaged in pub
fishing the "Deihi Chronicle, which enterprise
fell through for want of sufficient support.
The BEACON is launched out on lis Seventh
Volume with It's usual size Of % columns.
Our patrons must not forget the printer in
settling up their little debts Funds are
necessary to dcfray the expense OF the office,
which has been considerable. To those who
have come up and so generously extended
their aid tender my grateful acknowledge
men,s. There are several, | am pleased TO
know, who have shown by their actions that
they appreciate my indulgence, by coming
forward, and not only paying back dues, but
also paying in advance.
Some time since made it known that | was
willing to give the BEACON to any person who
desired TO read and was unable TO pay for the
paper. Some were kind enough TO inform
me that it was impossible to pay, but regret
ted to do without the paper. To such we
continued the paper, and those very persons
have been the most punctual TO pay. There
is no man so poor TO be unable 10 pay for
his parish paper in some way.
A great many subscriptions fall due Jan,
1875. To those who owe for two years ]
offer this inducement to pay up: If you are
in arrea.s for two years, | will give you
three years credit for IS. 90, and if you owe
for ore year, will give you two years credit
for IS. 30. Thus i, will be seen that by pay
ing for two or three years you save 50 per cent
and only pay what is justly due, for if you
owe fer last year, and continue to take the
paper, You now owe for two years, as the
subscription is due in advance.
