L9tting q Son were engaged several
years in manufacturing their soaps in
Mississippi, but some months ago re-
moved TO the locality in this city, be-
eau .e Of the increased demand and re-
CURED enlargement of their work.,
which now have two large soap-kett!es,
each capable Of boiling sixteen thousand
pounds of soap, the process being by
means OF steam through metal coil,
whereby a letter refinement is obtained.
They manufacture ore thousand boxes
of soap per month, and have ample IA
cilities for increasing their capacity with
the requirements OF the demand. We
hope TO see this enterprise literally sus-
tanned by the citizens Of Memphis, for
it certainly offers 9 superior article for
the toilet, kitchen, laundry, and geners
purposes to any soap manufactured. The
vegetable matter OF Messrs. r. G. Lat
ting & Sons sosIs is superior and much
better than animal matter, harmless to
the hands, and yet sufficient to remove
grease and dirt IN every instance. They
have a great enterprise, destined to a
career of enlarged usefulness end indis-
pensable benefit to Memphis and ali the
adjoining States.

THE IVyLS or THE T3jrS.

The address Of cN-Govcmor Dix is m inn
prts3ve warning from man who has filed
great place in the politics of t'c country, and
enjoys at n ripe age degree - 1nhlic respect
which few politicians earn. = warning ia
impressive not because it paints the condition
Of the time IN lurid colorr. but because il
comes from one who has made n long and close
study of public aflars, and has commended
himself to tho popular regard by his good
sense M well as his upright life. He
only points ont, with special emphasis
and clcaincss, tho dangers which hnnd-
red prophets have indicated before him, and
which nearly all Of us are ready to achnowl-
edge. The dcmOraz ton of the public ser
vice by the abuse of patronage, the inevitable
dcbascmont Of partisan Judiciary, the cor
ruption of society by the lOoienlng oi family
ties. the prevalence Of financial dishonesty, the
Indifference Of the better class of citizens to
the exercise Of the franchise-these are scIi-
ons symptoms which have many time ar
rested attention. and will demand it again and
again until we find cure.
Gen. Dix does not point out tho evil without
suggesting tho remedy. To check tho shock
ing system Of public appointments which dis
tributes Offices among the adhercns OF the
Administration /" like prize money among pl1-
"yatccrsmen after successful cruise" he pro-
noses that the President should be elected for
six wears, and bo made ineligible for y second
term. If To this the General had only added
n proyision for retiring the President. at the
end of his term as United States Senator mt
Large for life. We believe he would have
made tho best possible disposition of the
case TO raise the character of the Bench
he would submit again 10 the people an
amendment to the State Constitution giving
the appointment of judges to the Governor.
The overwhelming majority under which this
proposition was buried when last submitted
we believe to have been delusive. Many poll
ticians expected the Constitutional Amend
ments to bo defeated by nn equal vote year
ago. whereas active exertion, through non
partisan sources, secured their triumph by a
majority ~ great as that which defeated
judicial reform. Similar exertlons would
doubtless secure for the latter similar sue
cess. To call ont the "brOwn-stOne voter"
the General would enact that every man
who neglects to exercise the right Of voting
for two years shall lose 1t. The rest of the
work of reform he would have done
by tho gradual diffusion OF education and
religion. Gen. Dix does not believe our school
system to be IN danger. but he would neglect
no reasonable meahe to secure 1t, and he inti-
mates that he thinks the demands OF the
Catholics ought to be reaisre,.. not only
because sectarian teaching is incOnslsUopt

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

Mayor Wickham has good reason to congTat-
ulate the Common Council that the wholesale
robbery which was once the beginning and the
end of our municipal administration goes on
no longer. Whatever abuses there may be in
the management of the affairs of the metrOp
oils, there are no gross scandals connected
with ii to Which a remedy has not already
been applied. Possibly the Mayor is a little
premature in boasting of tho success of his
efforts to establish tho city government upon
a business basis; but there can be no
question that the year just closed showed
a great improvement over its predecessor,
and that the prospect for the coming year is
better yet. Some of the worst faults Of the
past have been corrected. We have at last a
Police Board, apparently non partisan, organ
lied upon principles of common sense. We
have removed from the Law Department the
last relic of the Ring conspiracy, and the Mayor
assures us that great reform has been made
in the manner OF doing business in that office.
a g1eat SAVING effected in its expenditures, and
-,airabHe dictu AN agreement arrived at
between the Corporation Counsel and the Con-
troller, whereby the city may be spared much
useless and costly litigation. The case OF the
Fire Commissioners is still before the Governor |;
but whatever may be thought of the Commits
sOners, the men of the force are efficient and
well disciplined. Indeed, In his tour through
the various Departments and Bureaus his
Honor has seen everything in the color of the
rose. He strongly commends the action Of
Gen. Porter in reducing the wages of his la
borers TO the market rate. and thinks the kind
of service which the city obtains on the pub
lio works. though by no means what 1t
ought to be. Is steadily improving. Hc recon-
