KNOWING and approaching the value TO
Memphis, situated as we are, of good san.
itary regulations well carried out, the
LEDGER has for many years advocated
and urged the necessity Of an efficient
board Of health We have seen cpl.
denies here, aud thousands Of people
stricken down in the prime Of life; we
have seen panics, and moved about
breathing an atmosphere laden with pes.
tilential vapors. These calamities could
have been averted. aud taking advantage
Of the experience and the sad lessons OF
the past we may not expect their recur
renee in the future. DurinG the preva.
lence Of yellow fever here in 1873. or
soon after, a very carefully pre-.
pared health ocdinance was passed
and it is still in existence. 1t provided
for a board of health aud defined the
duties Of the officers very minutely. The
health officer at first was allowed $24OO
per annum; the next year this was re.
duced TO $500, and finally it was brought
down to $1,000. 1t is now proposed in
q branch Of the general council to
make a further reduction Of $500. Be.
fore this is dene it is important to
consider whether such reduction
would impair the efficiency Of tie
board Of health. We hope that the
aldermen and couucilmen will read
the health ordinance carefully before
taking 6ual action. A we'll organized
board Of health for the last ten year
would have saved to Memphis many pre-
ciou' lives and millions Of dollars. W.
heartily favor all fair and proper 70.

We have recently read Mr.. Lamar
speech made ia the senate on the silver
question. aud found less in it to convince
the understanding or to commend than
was to be expected from his high reputa,
ton as a speaker aud a reasoner, Mr.,
Lamar's position is unfortunate and EN-
barrsssing, and his motives are liable to
be construed very much to his prejudice.
His attitade is severely criticised in his
own State, where not q single paper has
come to his defense, and it has scarcely
received q favorable notice anywhere.
Even in the North the papers seem to
regard him as an aspiraut for the Vice
Presidency. The next President will be
q silver man like Hendricks, aud it is
not likely that the Democrats of the
West and the South will put a man on
tie ticket who theoretically or practically
stands by the money power Of the East.
The singular spectacle is presented OF a
Democratic legislature and people in,
dorsing the course OF a colored United
States Senator and disappearing thsvote
Of Mr.. Lamar, q native of the South and
a man of the highest culture and social
position. Bruce may not expect to be
returned to the senate, aud he may be
the last Of his race to hold such
a position in this country, but
his chances seem fully as good at pres
ent as Mr.. Lamar's. A good many peo-
pie begin to conclude hat there is a race
of white men in the South whose useful
ness is posthumous, and whose hold on
power is not much more secure than that
Of Mr.. Bruce, the colored senator who
has generally been supposed to m~isrepre.

wordy politicians who assume to repre-
sent Southern intelligence aud respecta.
bility, but are destitute of practical states
manship, and delude the people with emp.
ty phraseology. They have learned bat
little since the war, and they believe that
wisdom will die with them. They have
a superabundsnce Of uncommon sense,
but very little of the common sort so
essential in everyday affairs. Without
applying this to Mr.. Lamar, we cannot
resist the conclusion that be has let
iue-spun theories of political economy
take the place Of his better judgment,
and that he apd bis friends will regret
the course he has taken on this most
vital question.

notes to the size Of IL feet 10 length and

that such work upon the genuine bills
was executed upon geometrieal prinei.
pies, and that any one line or all Of them
could be traced, without q break, from
their beginning to their termination. In
the counterfeit notes however, the breaks
we're numerous. In the genuine notes
GIL the lines and shadows being made
with a parallel ruling machine, we're ex.
actly straight, while the shadows in the
imitation notes we're done With a prayer
aud we're irregular and imperfect in
every instance. IN numbering the bank
bills, the lecturer stated, the Govern.
ment used a combination OF colors which
formed q bright vermillion. while thu
couniorfeiters used all varieties of red
coloring matter without producing a suc.
c%essful imitation. II a counterieiter
should become possessed Of the Iathes
and parallel ruling machines used BY the

SOME of the newspapers are talking Of
sending Bayard Taylor as minister to
Berlin. The St. Louis Times says:
There is some danger that Taylor is too
well qualified. He speaks German,
drinks beer and eats preizsls. Hitherto,
the less a man knew of the manners,
customs or language of the country, the
more superior were his qualifications for
the position of minister to that country.
II, however, the old requirements could
be waived in this case, there can be little
doubt Bayard Taylor would do his csus.
