TO THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
FOR TIE LEGISLATURE.

The LEDGER desires to put a
direct question to the Democratic
nominees for the next General AS
sembly who propose to represent
the city Of Memphis. These nom
inees are, j. J. DuBose, NJ. D.. L.
Stewart, George B. Peters, W. W.
Coleman and Thomas G. Lowe.
The question to be propounded is
unayoidably necessary at this time.
But a short period wills elapse be-
fore the people will be called upon
to cast their votes at the November
polls, and it is but right and proper
that those who come forward to be
chosen as their Representatives
should let them know fully what
action each one intends to take on
matters Of vital importance to the
city. One matter of especial inter-
est to Memphis is the preservation
of the present system of Fire and
Police Commissioners, which has
given the city better security and
better efficiency in those two de-
partments than she has ever known
before. II is on this that our ques-
tion will be put. A few days before
the convention assembled which
selected the gentlemen whom we
have already named above, it be-
came pretty well known in the city
that certain parties here, who are
said to be bitterly hostile to the
Police and Fire Commissioners a,
now made up, of Colonel Leath
Colonel Magevney, Messrs. Moore
Vaccaro and Frank, were busily
at work in securing nominee.

WAR ON THE STATES.

"The South Carolina pro-
gramme," says the st. Louis Times,
ahas assumed a definite shape at
last and the administration
promptly rallies to the support of
Governor Chamberlain in his das-
tardly scheme for reelection. 1t
was hoped that better counsels
would prevail and that the voice of
leading Republicans, who assert
that no emergency has arisen to
warrant Federal Intervention would
obtain precedence at Washington
over the incendiary appeals of a
faithless and frightened executive
but in this the people are disap-
pointed and the country expert
ences a fresh disgrace. Were Gov.
Chamberlain the honest and cour-
ageous official that the character of
the times demands, there is no
question that difficulties which he,
for purely partisan purposes, pre-
tends to exist in South Carolina
might readily be dealt with and
overcome by a prompt exercise of his
magisterial authority, and the rest
of the country would scarcely hear
of it. This, however, would not
accomplish the point in view. This
would be a too easy, and sensible,
and commonplace solution of the
problem. 1t might not advance the
Governors political interests as he
hopes to advance them by a con-
spiracy against the peace and dig
nifty and good order Of his State.
1t would not answer SO effective an
object in solidifying Republican
prejudices and rousing to feVer-heat
again the old-time sectional resent
mants of the North. 1t would fail
of its intended influence on the
coming elections, were the question
not amplifed into a Fictitious ma
tional Importance. Hence is pre-
sented the extraordinary spectacle
of a grave Cabinet meeting sitting
in Judgment over the destinieS of a
sovereign State that has already
been crushed almost out Of all re-
semblance to Statehood, and the
President Illuminating a bellig-
erent PROCLAMATION against some
mythical enemy, and the Secretary
of War directing the General Of
the Army to quarter all the ayaila-
BILE troops at his disposal upon the
inhabitants of a helpless common.
wealth, whose only crime is an in
stinetive and resolute determination
to rid themselves of Radical mis-
government. 1t is the desperate
and abandoned resort of a party
that will hesitate at no violation OIL
/, the Constitution and no Outrage
upon the rights Of the citizen t
! maintain the precariOus tenure 0
Its power. Surely the higher in.
telIigence and better impulses o
