WE can heartily sympatze with the
city of Memphis for I'VE XIV how it is
ourselves" The city is irdcbt to the
amount of five millions of dlars, and is
unable to meet the interest it becomes
due The authorities ere, therefore,
driven to choice of alteritives, viz: to
propose compromise of fly cents on the
dollar, ar rcpudiatc the whc debt They
proposed the compromise; 1t instead Of
accepting il, number oftl creditors sued
out mandamuses against thciy to compel
the payment of the claims once. This
onslaught Il; once silenced ne opposition
to an abandonment of the eli organization,
and even the city council mt and passed
resolution declaring such step necessary
to save the city from utter inanGal ruin.
Speaking of the cormorants Tho ave de-
scendcd upon the city with their mandam-
uses, the Memphis Appeal sys:-'The re-
suit of this effort to sbucze blood out Of a
turnip will astonish man of our citizens
and amaze all our our ceditorS. The city
fathers, most of whom wee supposed to be
opposed to surrendering he city charter,
promptly and unanimousl, passed a resolu.
ton to that effect We hare no doubt that
a majority of all classes OF the people of
Memphis will endorse this lction, and thai,

bills are now pending, proiding for this
last resort of = people made desperate ly a
series of calamitcs unparalleled in the his
tory Of the cities Of the United States viii!
As speedily grant the relief supposed to
lodge in a surrender of the name and all
that in law makes Memphis. Meanwhile,
the general council will not meet again, so
that these mandamuses can not be enforced
by taxation. The Appeal has hitheto with.
held its assent to SO desperate remedy
for our financial distress as the surrender of
the city charter, but admonishcd by the
mandamuses served last night, it sees no
other way of relief opa for asorcl. pressed

THE New York sun says Gov, Nichols
tells the Louisiana Legislature that, al
though there have been some acts of lawless
violence in the State this past year that
have startled and distressed the mass of
the people, these are practically beyond
the reach of the constituted authorities. a"
If that is so, the sooner the people of Lou
islana reconstitute the authorities the bet.
ter for the reputation Of the state What
spectacle could be more humiliating than
this of the Governor OF an American COM
monwcalth publicly acknowledging thatits
executive ana Judiciary are too weak to
deal with lawbreakerS, 1t is nothing less
than an invitation for the government to
again curse the state with the presence of
Federal troops; and no one need be sur
prised should President Hayes yield 10
stalwart pressure and comply with the re.
quest.

ANDitis in this cruel manner that that un-
hcsitating sheet, the Chicago Times, goes
for the man to whose genius we are indebt-
ed for the attactivc shape OF the Cairo Gus
tom house.
"Mullctt, whose architectural abomina-
tions disfgure score or two Of the chief
cities in the land, has had the audacity to
present claim to congress for extra COM
pensation. He insists that it was not his
business when supervising architect to pre-
pare plans for new buildings, and claims
pay for all the designs he furnished The
power Of impudcnce could go no farther
than that. 1t is the common opinion of the
country that every one OF Mullett's plans was
an architectural miSdemeanor, for which he
should have been punished, not paid. His
chance for getting extras from congress, I'M
less he makes the bill large enough to COW
er liberal dividends, cannot be good

the result so confidently foretol by She
Register:
"The State Register, which i, MT in the
habit of making rash predictions ma, to
announce that all appearances indicate the
defeat of John \. Logan's ambitious plan
for seat in the United States Senate. II
Is no doubt true that when the campaium
was opened here by Logan and hi, immc.
d'ate supporters, he and they appeared to
have "thc bulge" on his competitors. and
there is no doubt that it was ,art of 10.
gans campaign policy that as the stray.
Cling members arrived they should find that
Logan's friends held possession of the
ground on which the action was to be
fought, and that they should thus be induced
to pledge to him their allegiance. But the
plan has been ovcrworkcd, and now it is
apparent that Logan had better have de.
layed his arrival, or at least should not have
rested all his hopes upon so weak basis.
But it is sufficient for the present purpose
to say that Logan's campaign is a failure,
and that while there is no reason to sup
pose Democrat can BE- elected, the field is
oper tor any Republican other than Black
Jack"

THAT bad men some times resort to the
ministry TO find cloak for their shocking
villainies is demonstrated in the conduct of
one Rev. Thomas Crossley, of Rocklin
California. He came 10 California from
England, bringing with him woman to
whom he was not married, and abandoning
wife and house full of children for whose
support he was responsible. He left them
pcnnileSs, and soon commenced maltreating
the woman who had eloped with him. She
wouldn't stand it, however, and
"blOwed" on him declaring that
he was fraud as preacher, and had left
wife and family in the old country do
pendent upon the charity of the neighbors.
This exposure led TO his expulsion from the
ministry, and straightway he commenced
the work of thrashing the members of his
late church, in detail. He gave many
black eye, and not unfrcqucntly got one in
return. Shortly afterwards he married a
California wouan; but he treated her in
such brutal manner that she refused 10
live with him. lie coaxcd her pcrsistentlv.
but she turned deaf ear TO his cntrcatips
which finally so cnragcd him that he took
butcher knife and killed her. He fled the
country, and may be playing the role OF
preacher in some locality remote from the
scene OF his atrocious crimes. 1t is the
presence in the world of such men as
crossley that gives the coloring of reason to
the claim that there is literal he'll.

The sickening spectaclcs that often at
tend the execution of our criminals should
plead with our lawmakers for the adop-
ton of some other method for the inaic,ion
OF the death penalty. A New Orleans pa.
per says, with much truth, that scarcely n
month passes but the public is Mortified by
the record ofsome such bungling execution
as that OF Hunter In Philadelphia. No civ.
ilized country in Europe has ever furnished
as many Instances of cruel protraction Of
suffering in the death penalty, as America
the boosted land of progress. The puillo.
nne' garrottc, or even the old axe and
block, would be preferable to the method
now in vogue.

VIZ observe vague intimatlons, now and
then, that old Blue Jeans Williams has a
laundering after presidential honors. He
probably thinks himself latent Lincoln,
and that he would develop into wonder
full man. But the presidential fever has
seized upon too many men of brains and
availability for Blue Jeans to stand much
OF chance. In his own State Hendricks
voorhees,, Holman and Julian are all head
and shoulders above Williams. In Ohio
there is Thurman and Pendlcton, in New
York Tildcn and Seymour, in Pennsylvania
Randall, and in Delaware, Bayard. 1t is
quite clear, therefore, that Williams, old as
he is, must wait awhile.
