Wing. master mechanic, it will be seen
that the partitions charged for at $3.50 each
would be worth now about S25 each, but at

attention to the evidence of several witnes.

by inserting the figure "3" in the item,

MACAULAY'sP RoPHEcY.-The press
Of the country is calling attention to a
celebrated prophecy by Macaulay-t
runs:
"As long as you have a boundless ex-
tent OF fertile ~unoccupied land your Ia
boring population will be far more at
ease than the laboring population Of the
Old World; but the time will come
when New England will be thickly set
tied, a will be low and h~uctuate,
| and sometimes many will be out of
work. Then your institutions will be
brought to n test. Hard times make
the laborer discontented and turbulent,
and incline him to listen with eagerness
to agitators, who tell him that it is q
monstrous iniquity for one to have a
million while another cannot get a full
meal. When n legislature is to be
chosen, on one side will be a statesman
preaching patience, respect for vested
rights, strict observance of public faith.
On the other a demagogue, ranting
about the tyranny Of capitalists and
Insurers, asking why anybody should be
| permitted to live in LUXURY while thou
sands of honest people are in want of
necessities. Who will be likely to be
| preferred by this Disseminated element,
and what bort of q Legislature will you
lie likely TO expect? 1 fear In some
such season of ADVERSELY spoilatfon VIII
increase distress"
Kearney and kindred brainless rant
ers are fulfilling this prophecy every

THE FIFTH WARD.
The Fountain Head and Three POliti.
cal Tributaries at Zion Hall
Idle Rant all Round.

FIippin's friends held a meeting last
night at Zioa Hall, Beal street, Fifth
ward. There was plenty Of standing
room, and no one had any difficulty to
get a good seat. The political melange
opened with a fnsilade Of characteristic
slosh by United States Commissioners s.
s Garrett. This gentleman is a bril-.
liant orator-bright as rusted. finland
says more things which he doesn't under
stand than any man Of similar modesty
in America. This gentleman was fol.
lowed BY Mr., Phillips the colored citizen
who is the south market-house keeper.
Mr.. Phillips forgot to mention the grave
charges he made at the Exposition build
ing two years ago, and the fuss be had
there and then with Ed Shaw, although
the latter last night followed him in a
a speech. Shaw and Phillips had q dig
tumble then, though now they are the
twin satellites Of Flippin, in fact, two
souls with but a Sihgle thought, two
hearts that beat as one" Phillips must
have q memory either t~rescheroas or
convenient, perhaps both, not to
remember these things. how he
fOsmed, aud how like an infnriated
lion he declared he would speak
at the Exposition. Shaw, loo, has
forgotten Phillips rebellion in camp.
Phillips has also made it convenient to
forget the cry of persecution on the parI
of the colored people two years ago.
But probably he said be was prosecuted
by Ed Shaw and other colored Rspubli
cans in order to get a place at the mar,
ket-house, SO as to inhale the perfume Of
cabbage and the virgin odor Of onions.
Probably he did. At any rate be and Ed
Shaw last night repeated their WORKOUT
statements about politics, but ignored
the record, and then Gen. w. j. Smith
United States collector oe customs, des
pite Hayes order, frothed at the mouth
with oratorical inspiration. He attacked
Mr.. ]. W. Anderson and the Working
mems party, because this gentleman anC
the members of the organization consti
tuting the white trades unions will MOI
allow a colored boy to engage in trade
as an apprentice, or become a member
thereof. Obi Winfield Jerusalem where
art thy conscience, where thy reason FOL
who doth believe theeP Verify, have "
held Office too long to give reliable pc
itical advice. Mayor Flippin was th,
next speaker, but differed with his las
named attache in regard to the Work
ingmen and Mr.. Anderson. The foun
tain,bead and some of his supporter
evidently belivei n different policy. Mr.
Flippiu should say as little as possible
although he never says much that doesn'
concern his own individual interests, 70
the oftener he opens his mouth in publ
the more ridiculous be appears to tb
intelligent auditor. After the 18th O
January he will doubtless have an oppol
tunity to make his farewell address o
write his valedictory as mayor of Mem
phis, to which position he was elected b
the votes Of the Democratic party. A.
