An interesting Account of Mon md
BuSinesB OF the hIuH In 1860.
10 tho Fditor Of tho Lcdger:

To the Editor OF the Ledger:
The writer has had the pleasure
Of looking over a copy of the Daily
Enquirer, printed in this city
twentyrsix years ago under the edi-
torial management of the lamented
Robert j. Yancey, whose name and
good nature are yet fresh in the
minds of many soiourners in this
region. Poor Bob! he was a prime
minister among the Bohemians of
that day, and a local paragraphist
of smart capacity, who would have
scorned to use his privilege in ma
lignantly trying to stab the good
reputation of honest citizens
through the columns of his paper,
as is too often done nowadays in
this land of the free, etc. To those
old citizens yet living here who re-
sided in our midst along about
1850, when the Enquirer now be-
fore the writer was issued, glance
over its columns will read like a
letter from the home of those who
have dwelt in foreign countries for
years and who only hope for an oc-
casional message to remind Of the
people they have not seen and the
matters unthought Of almost since
their wanderings commenced. The
copy to which reference is made
was published on Friday morning,
March !, 1850, at No, IA Front
Row, which was then between Mad
ison and Monroe streets. 1t con-
tains the conclusion of Henry
Clay's great speech on the compro-
mise measures for the admission Of
California, which unfortunately
passed, and. like Adams fall to the
moral world, brought this country
all its woes. There are but three
local items to be found in the paper,
which shows what little satisfied its
readers at o time when the click OF
the telegraph and the whistle Of the
locomotive were both unheard on
the bluff. One of these paragraphs
| announces that ga little girl some
| five OF ak years old, daughter o.
Mr.. Betha, livery stable keeper, fel
into a cisten yesterday and was
| drowned" Another mentions thC
1 MEMPHIS INSTITUTE,
with its graduating class Of young
| gentlemen, to whom Judge b. M
King, in an address on the previous
evening, presented the degrees Q
doctor Of Medicine, The elias
numbered twelve; S. A. Beloat, j
p, Stille, E. A. White, j. B. De
Witt, P, T. Gunter, II. McF. Glenn
ents, R. J. Morrow. 0. E. Newton
and j. w. Williams. "Afte
which," says the Enquirer, 9Th
| honorary degree of Doctor of Med
licine was conferred upon Rev. I
Grace, of the Catholic church, ant
| the Rev. S. j. Henderson, Of tn
! Methodist church" The write
thinks that j, WrWilliams, who's
Iname appears on the list above, wa
4 DIR. Joe Williams, who fell at hi
post here before the yellow fever il
Ial873, and whose loss opr whole cit
ldeplored. Father Grace, whom al
old citizens knew and loved, is no'
the Catholic Bishop of Minnesota
if the writer does not mistake.
