1.-THE LEADING AMERICAN NE WS-
 PAPER" THE NETWORK TRIBUNE
 FOR 1878.

The Tribune earnestly strove for the election of President Hayes, and it gives its heartlest support to the high purposes of his Administration. Doubtlng the wis dom of methods sometimes taken by hls subordinates, and criticIsinG with entire freedom hls occasional mistakes, 1t still thinks it the duty of the hour to hold to, gether snd strengthen the party that elect' ed and alone sustains him. It believes tn 0 day of danger to the negro has passed, an A that of danger to the Tax Pay CT has come . The Solid South lat last In full control of every Rebel and Border State) sees It's chance to get at the National Treasury, and get back what it lost by the war. Only 47 Northern votes are needed. If Tammany Hall could furnish New York, then Indiana. or Connecticut and New Jersey. would suffice. The danger IS upon us and against 1t the old party of Free, dom, still the party of the Churches and the School Houses, is the only bulwark. 1t alone can keep the Solid South from grasping the National Government in 1sso It alone can save us, eveu now, from the threatened Democratic abandonment of resumption and renewed debasement of the currency. which would heedlessly and most wickedlv check the revival of busl' ness, and treble the country's burdens. In behalf of the old party. therefore, The Tri bune renews the old appeal to the Natlon' al consclence, the National honor, and the enlightened self'interest of the Tax Pay' CTS.

It contains all the literary, agricultural, and domestic miscellany. and all tho spe has besides nearly all the news of the Dal' ly, and most of it's editorial articles not strictly local in their application, It has been enlarged, and changed to the new change which has long been asked by
 THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
 This has been for third of century the favorite paper for our substantial country population. A competent critic has sald of 1t "The Weekly Tribune has done more for the settlement aud prosperl' ty ot the Great West. and has made more good farmers and good citizens than any other slngle influence that ever existed in this country" During the ensuing vear it means not only to preserve all its old mer' Its, but to take long stride ahead.

STEAMBOAT DISASTER
Sinking and Total Loss Of the Memphis
and Helena Packet A. ]. White.

The Memphis and Helena packet A. j.
White, Captain William Ashford in COM
mand, which left here Monday evening
for Helena, in making a landing at Glen
dale yesterday, the railroad landing oppo-
site Helena, struck a snag or stump, which
knocked a hole in her hull seventy-hve
feet long, causing her to sink in eight feet
of water. She had very little freight on
board at the time, which was saved with
out damage. A telegram from Captain j..
j. Darragh, who went to her assistance,
informs Mr.. N. M. Jones that she is settl-
ing on the stump or snag, which pene-
trated her huh, and cannot be raised, in
consequence of which she is being wrecked,
and all that can be saved viii be taken off
of her. The White was a good money
making boat. She was owned by the
Memphis and Vicksburg Citizens Packet
Company, was valued at $4,000 and un-
insured. The loss will fall very heavily
her owners, they having spent about
$1,000 on her in repairs during the sum
mer, and had placed her in good running
order for the fall season. She had just
commenced building up e good trade, and
was making a little money for her owners,
aRd her place cannot well be supplied, as
she has proved herself to be one of the
best packets that has ever been built for
the lower coast trade.

AN INTELLIGENT OBSERVER,
An Ex-Governor Who Travels with
Eyes and Ears Open.

Ex-G Governor Hoffman, of New
York, returned home on Wednesday,
after a six months residence in Eu-
rope. He thinksit hardly fair to COM
pare the Philadelphia and Paris Ex-
positions, they were so totally unlike,
and adds:
"That at Paris was full of exqisitely
beautiful things from all parts of the
world. The American exhibit hardly
met the wishes of the Americans who
saw it, but America took more prizes
in proportion to the size of the exhibit
than any other country in the world.
AT the distribution of the prizes the
procession of jurors and exhibitors
was headed by a platoon of American
marines, and on every side American
flags were as common as those of
France, and much commoner than
those of any other foreign country.
In 1857 it was with no small difficulty
that | could find in Paris an Ameri-
can flag. The people of the Old
World begin to comprehend something
of our form Of government and what
the prospects are"
AS the governor spent much of his
time in Paris, his statement of affairs
In France is Of value. He says:
I'm France the Republic, which is
pretty firmly established, has the com
munistic and socialistic elements un-
der control, and will not be moved
while it can keep them there. France,
anyhow, is a government of revolu-
ton. 1t rests so directly upon the
shoulders of the people that when
ever they get tired they stand from
under and down it goes. The com
munistic element never can exercise
control for any length Of time. We
here in this country have nothing to
fear from it, but, then, in any of the
European countries the people live
under a great repression, and there is
great danger. The elections here gave
this element Of unrest q chance to
show its strength, spend its enthusi-
asm, and discover how weak it is
against the sober common sense of the
people. just at present France is the
most peaceful of continental nations.
The people are busy and pretty well
satisfied with the government. They
are saving and their public debt is in
their own hands. Gambetta is to-day
the acting ruler, with MacMahon as q
figure head. Gambetta feels that he
can exercise more power as he is. His
death would be more of a public ca
lamity than that of MacMahon, but
do not see how ever that would over.

MacMahon does not seem to have
very strong hold on the people,"

AN ITALIAN ROMANCE.
Hints for a French Drama.

Here is an Italian romance that
would serve as a plot for a French
play: The only son of a noble house
fell in love with the only daughter of
another noble house. The lovers were
handsome, rich and young, and they
were very fond of each other. When
the young count asked the hand of
the girl he loved, her father refused
point blank, without giving any reason.
He was so firm, however, that the
young lover saw that it was useless to
insist. Every one condemned the
tyranny of the girls father, and the
resolved to marry without his
consent, trusting that he would speed
lily forgive and forget their disobedi-
ence. A day was fixed upon, and both
repaired to the mayor to have their
union made legal. 1t was there the
crash came, for the bridegroom learned
that his papers were not correct. His
name was not registered. His father
had omitted hat form. Mad with
doubt and apprehension, he few to his
father and demanded the reason of
this omission. What passed between
the father and son none may ever
know, but as soon as the young man
left his fathers presence he blew out
his brains. He was not the legitimate
son of the count. The count, in
atonement of his youthful fault, had
brought up his illegitimate son as his
heir, and had never had the courage
to confess the truth to him. This was
the reason of the girls fathers objec-
tons to the marriage, He knew the
secret. The boys mother was a wo-
man of the lower orders. He would
not survive the knowledge of his
shame. The girl is mad with grief,
and it is feared hat she also will put
an end to her days. 81 cannot live
without him" she cries in her agony:
Let me go to him let me go hin" "

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEArER.-The inelemency
Of the weather had no terrors for theater-
goers last night. The house was well filled
in every part. This indicates the popu-
larity Of Raymond and his company, as
well as the life and activity of the city.
1t begins to look like old times, sure, with
the difference that so many new faces are
to be seen. Mr.. Raymond appeared for
the first time here in his new play, Risks,
or Insure Your Life, written expressly for
him. 1t was far above the popular *
pectation in plot, situation and senti-
ment. Those who expected only a farce
or a burlesque were surprised to find it a
very charming comedy, with variety,
scope, freshness and humor enough in it
to entertain and amuse an audience from
first to last. The piece is, in the opinion
of many, equal to Colonel Sellers. Mr..
Raymond is the central figure, neyerthe-
less he is very %cleverly supported by
thorough artists, who avail themselves of
opportunities offered for some very nice
bits Of acting. Tonight we are to have
Married Life" a splendid comedy, to be
followed by "Toodles." This bill is enough
to fill the house. Tomorrow afternoon
Risks will again be played, and to-mor-
row night the engagement viii close with
the irresistible and unrivalled "Colonel
Sellers"
Next Monday night Gotthold & Rails
Uncle Tom Company will open an engage
ment for the week. The piece is gorgeous
ly mounted and will be a great attraction.
1t is a dramatization of "Uncle TOMS
Cabin" the book written by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, which produced such a
sensation nearly twenty-five years ago.
1t is, however, not offensive as dramatized
and will doubtless be as popular in the
South as in the North. 1t has had a great
run wherever produced.
