A FEW weeks since the compensation
of the county judges was an interesting
subject. Now, nothing is said on the
subject. 1t is Inferred that the county
commissioners of the State have pro
vided for the hard-worked officers, and
thus the clamor has ceased.

Sensible Words From Fred.
Douglas.
TFrom a Recent Speech. !

Il
The very best thing the white
people can do for us is to stop
doing for us, and leave us to do
for ourselves. / have told the
politicians so everywhere. They
have done SO much for us that
they nearly updone us. If we
cant live honestly by our own
labor, then we ought to die. The
question with us is, will we work
as bard for ourselves as once we
did for our masters? If we don't
we will go to the wall, for liberty
is as essential state of hard work
as slavery is of disgraceful sloth.
1t is only by hard labor that we
can ever catch up with the white
race, and by initiating their virtues
instead of their vices. Emigration
is delusion and sham. The
white race is everywhere on the
face of the globe, and we could
not get away from them il we
would.

A change of sentiment appears
to be going on inside of the diff
ferent labor organizations which
will lead to important results.
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Conductors, at a meeting held at
Elmira, New York, last week,
adopted resolution absolutely
prohibiting its members from
engaging in strikes. The rules
of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers forbid members
from striking until they have
stated their grievances to CON-
mittee, and that committee has
endeavored 10 arrange the dispute
with the railroad company. In
case a satisfactory arrangement
can not be made, the council is
then authorized to permit u strike
after due notice and 10 England
trndes unions of late have, in
numerous instances, prevented
strikes. Galveston News.

The Police Department and Crime.
Memphis has but forty zone policemen,
exclusive Of the chief, or one to every
one thousand inhabitants, according to
the Federal census Of 1870. We have
one chief, two captains, two s~ergeauts,
besides detailed men for station.house
and other purposes, which leaves about
thlrty'hve men for day and night patrel
duty, not quite two to a ward when
divided up into Jay and night watches,
and then many Of the patrolmen are
often sick and off of duty. The charter
provides for n policeman to every one
thousand inhabitants, according to the
census OF 1870, bat it is a we'll known
fact that the population of Memphis at
present Is nearer fifty thousand than
f%orty.one. We believe that under the
charter Memphis is entitled to eighty.
two policemen, exclusive Of the chief, for
1t says the day and night police shall
consist Of one policeman to every one
thousand Inhabitants" etc. This I'm.
doubtedly means, by fair construction,
that ~forty.one policemen shall be on duty
each day aud night SO as to protect prop
erty and life. When but twenty men
are on duty by day and by night, GER
%taiDly Memphis has not one policeman
to every N thousand inhabitants.
This matter was considered and some.
what discussed at the tims the charter
went into force, but no thorough consid.
GRAFTON was given to the construction OF
the charter on this point at the time
w commend the idea 10 the general
council and the police commissioners in
view Of the carnival of crime and muir
der now being celebrated in our midst.

charging them with the murder OF Mr..

braced several law points, aud also the
charge Of irregularity in the Jury
room, in this-that outside persons
were permitted by the officer in char 20
OF the jury to converse with the jurors,
etc. The Motion was ably argued both
by counsel Of the defendants for the rao.
ton aud the counsel of the State who
resisted the motion. Judge Logwood
reviewed the legsl points raised by the
defendants counsel and overruled each
n Of them, but on the question of ;r.
regularity as to the jury he sustained
the motion and granted the defendants a
new trial. 1t is not probable that tn g
case will again be tried 10 Shelby county,
and it is certain that counsel for defend
ants will apply for a change of venue to
some adjoining county.
