On the 4" back salry grab" issue in the
General Council, Alderman Metcalf
made a sensible speech in the City Hall
last night.
He was in favor Of not allowing sala-
ries to members, saying that it members
do their duty they earn much more than
$50 per month. Members are sworn to
do their duty. The new charter says
they are not to receive compensation,
and that the new charter is to take effect
from and after its passage. The major
ity Of the members are business men,
and are therefore fully aware Of what
the charter provides. he asked mem.
bers who differed with him why they had
gone to work TO change the salaries Of
police, fire and other officials, also to
elect Police and Fire Commissioners,
and cut down city expenses generally.
Why, he again asked, does not the new
charter apply to the General COUNSEL
members2 The new charter authorized
the reduction Of salaries, and under that
authority numerous officials have been
cut down; but when it comes to q ques-
ton Of their own salary, they say: p" the
charter does not take effect until January
next" ITO pse q common expression, =
said Mr.. Metcalf, 8 it is said the ppposis
ton 70 this measure is buncombe, bun
combe. buncombel / care nothing for
the $40 per month. II the new charter
went into effect for one purpose, it went
into effect for all. If that question is
legal, her / am mistaken. This is the
whole thing ia a nut shell. We have
gone to work under the new charter TO
reduce salaries, change compensations,
ETC., and as far as we ourselves are con-
cerned, it don't take effect until Janu-
airy. II is the last time L will speak on
this subject. We are here to do our
duty, and though !, for one, lose money
in doing it. There are doubtless many
who oppose this salary who don't care
abont their salary any more than l do,
The vote was as follows:
For the grab-Aldermen Malatesta,
Dent, HRppek, White, Doyle, MORT and
Robbins Connoilmen Caro-, Hewitt,
luther, Clonston (colored), Dohertyi
Gray, Solari, Moores, Danbury, Grant.

else. Younger got up and pulled off his
glove.
Shaw came out anc said; you d-n
son of a b-h, don't you stay in Mem
phis tonight. You can stay here you
have got to leavel"
Upon this pleasant assurance, Young
er addressed the crowd a few words; said
he had not done anything to betrsy his
race, and went on to explain his course.
The more sensible ones seemed satisfied
aud dispersed. Younger reported the
facts to Chief Athy, and was afforded
protection from violence the rest of the
day. Quarters were secured for him in
a safe and comfortable place last night,
aud We learn that he proceeded on his
journey today.
Now we would say that this. is a pretty
state of affairs when such a sneaking
bag OF gas, venom and impudence can
almost cause a quiet colored man and
an utter stranger to be mobbed on our
streets in broad daylight for his political
course in another State. Shaw was on
the point Of going down to take a part
in the Mississippi canvass himself, but
wisely concluded not to do so. The
privilege be claimed fer himself he
would deny to another. Like Ames, he
thought the blood of a few dozen col
ored Republicans would do the party
good, but didn't run any risks himself.
He strutted around town the day Of
election and said that one hundred col
ored men would be killed that day in
Mississippi, and when he found out that
his wish was not gratiGed his rage knew
no bounds and he visited some of his
wrath on Younger. The people Of Mis-
sissippi will remember Younger, and
Shaw will not be forgotten right away in
Tennessee. he has been trusted with
an important Office in which he has
proved himself utterly inefficient and in
every way unworthy. 1t is a disgrace to
Memphis that Shaw has not long since
been ~impeached and removed.

John Robinson.

No amusement manager in America
has achieved the popularity of the mar
whose name heads this article. Every
body is familiar with "0ld John" and his
great show. be is well known through
out the entire land; he is everywhere &C.
knowledged as the greatest Of ell living
showmen. His exhibitions are superior
in all Of the minor details that tend to
make a truly great show. His perform
ers are always the best; the clowns are
the wittiest; the animals the rarest.
Most men would be satisfied when the
people pronounce what he has as the
best, out old John Robinson seeks for
new attractions. This year he has sur
passed all his previous efforts-hiS show
has increased in magnitude; it excels in
merit and excellence. Not only is John
Robinson great as a Snowman, bat his
superior administrative qualities are
brought into play. As an organizer he
is unequaled. He has gathered abouthim
a force of advertisers and agents that
perfectly understand their business.
This show is undoubtedly better adver-
tised than any we have ever witnessed.
Our Office has printed some 10000 bills
of different kinds. The last job done
for the show was the printing Of 10000
programmes containing cards of Mem
phis merchants; these are for distribu-
ton within a radius of thirty miles Of
Memphis. His own distributors started
out with trains, carrying a portion Of
them, this morning. By this means our
merchants are interested in his success.
The show is doing a wonderful business.
Captain Mathes has just returned from
a visit to McMinnville; he says Every
body is talking Of John Robinson show
and that at least 5OOOpeople visited eacf
exhibition at that point" Mr.. Joseph
the agent, received a dispatch yesterday
from Pulaski. The receipts for the af
ternoon exhibition in that place werC
$4,000. Every one is anxious for its ar
rival in Memphis. Half.fare tickets viii
be issued by all the lines of railway, ant
we expect to see more people on oui
streets the 18th, 18th and 18th Of thiI
month than ever visited US on q ike oo
casion.

THE NEW ERA IN MISSISSIPPI.

The sweeping change in Mississippi
cannot be and is not ascribed by any
body to intimidation. The Radicals
themselves admit there was none. The
truth is that the negroes have found out
in seven years of ~carpet-bag rule that
they have been mistreated and swindled.
Every year they have been driven up to
the polls like cattle to vote the
straight ticket. Their reward was
only empty husks, while the imported
scalawags snapped up every fat
Office in the State. This thing became
monotonous, and at last, when the gov
eminent declined to interfere, and the
colored people saw their opportunity,
they went over in great bodies to the
whites, with whom they formed a lasting
alliance, based upon mutual interests.
The owners and the tillers of the soil
have come to an understanding that will
inure TO their mutual dement, ana the
general prosperity of the State. The
whites of Mississippi are amply
prepared to protect the cclored Conser-
vatives from fanatical persecution.
Those who have come over have come
to stay, and of their own free choice as
the best they could do under the circum-
stances. An entirely new state of affairs
will ensue. Intelligence and honesty
will be in the ~ascendancy, car~pet-baggers
will have to go to work like other people
or seek other fields for the employment
of their peculiar talents. The State is
redeemed. Glory enough. Let the
Northern elections go.

stonewaII jackson AT West Point

An old friend and comrade of Stone
wall Jackson writes to the Richmond
Wing:
In June, 1912, A. P. Hill, Geo. E.
Pickett, B. D. Fry, and the writer, hav-
ing passed our first week at the military
academy, were standing together on the
south side of the old South barracks at
West Point, when a cadet-sergeant came
by us conducting a newly-arrived cadet
to his quarters. He was apparently
about twenty years of age, etc. was well
grown; his figure was angular and
clumsy; his gait was awkward. he was
clad in old-fashioned Virginia homespun
wooden cloth; he bore across his shout
ders a pair of weather-stained saddle
bags, and his hat was one of those heavy,
low-crowned, broad-brimmed wool hats
usually worn in those days by overseers,
county constables, wagoners, etc. He
tramped along by the side Of the SER
geant with an air Of resolution, and his
stolid look added to the inhexible deter
mination of his whole aspect, so that one
of us remarked, That fellow has come
here to stay" His name was ThomasJ j.
Jackson.
He had a rough time in the academy
at first, for his want Of previous train
ing placed him at a disadvantage, and
il was all he could do to pass his first
examination. We were studying alge.
bra, and maybe analytical geometry,
that winter, and jackson was very low
in his class standing. All lights were
put out at taps" just before the signal
he would pile up his CRATE with anthra'
cite coal, and, lying prone before it on
the floor, would werk away at his lessons
by the glare of the fire, which scorched
his very brain, till q late hour in the
night. This evident determination to
succeed not only aided his own efforts
directly, but impressed his instructors in
his favor, and he rose steadily year by
year, till we used to say, IF we had to
stay here another year old Jack would
be Of the head OF the class"
By the fourth year he attained a posi-
ton in the first section, but his lower
} standing during the early years in the
course, and in drawing, French and
some other studies Of q lighter and more
ornamental character brought his aver
age below the point to which he had
actually attained by the end of the
course.
In the riding hall l think his suffering
must have been great. He had a very
t rough horse, and when the order came
D to "cross stirrups' and "trot," old
!. Jack" swayed about and struggled hard
: to keep his horse. When we had ad.
vanced to riding at the heads, leaping
the bars, ETC., his equitation was truly
y fearful; but he persevered through the
most p%erilous trials, and no man in .he
riding-house would take more risks than
: he, and certainly no one had M good
e wishes for success and safety more than
he.
