The report being unfounded, the

The crime committed Friday night
on the river bank, below the foot of
Beal street, sent a thrill Of horror
through the community. Strong men.
as they thought of their daughters
and sisters, clinched their fists and
grew livid with the desire to visit
death upon the wretch who ruined
a helpless child, and as the picture
rose up Of bloated monster in human
shape enticing an artless child from
her humble roof out into the dark for
the most fendish purpose many
mother clasped her own little ones,
yet safe and unharmed, close to her
heart. But for the fact that we are
habitually a law-abiding people, have
a strong jail and a firm sheriff and
jailer johnson, would not have lived
until now. There IS a deep and gen
eral feeling that this atrocity must be
punished, and that speedily. We ap-
peal to those who might justly take
the law into their own hands to for
bear for the present and turn from
them to the courts, and ask in the
name of justice and law, in the name
of the women and children and the
fathers and mothers of Memphis for a
speedy trial in this case. 1t can be
had at once. 1t is a case in
which there can be no doubt. The
criminal confesses his guilt and
in the same breath would pollute the
good name of the sad-faced little suf-
ferer. Postponements generally lead
to avenues of escape. Nothing but
an immediate trial will answer in this
case.

THE ADAMS STREET PAVING CUES
TI0N

We have published several articles
from correspondents on both sides of
the question in regard to the proposed
paving OF Adams street. If the policy
of the Taxing District government is
carried out is only a question of time,
aud no great time either, when all the
principal streets Of the city will be
paved. Madison, it seems, will be
paved first. This is the central street
and connects the Memphis and
Charleston railroad depot with Front
street. No objection has been offered
to paving it first. Some differences of
opinion naturally exist as to the pro-
priety Of paving Adams street next.
Arguments haye been printed liber-
ally on both sides. After reading
them carefully we fail to see any Sc
rious objection to the proposition.
The citizens of that street propose to
make donation of $500 to the city,
on condition that the authorities pro-
ceed to pave the street at once. The
entire cost will be about S22,5O0.
The offer Is made in good faith as a
free gift, it is not to be deducted from
taxes in the future as some seme to
suppose, but the amount is held out
as an inducement to the commissions
ors to give that street the preference.
Until some other important street out
bids Adams we think the people on
that line have got the best of
the argument. We do not pick
up $500 in cash every day
and had better take it while we can
get it. 1t cannot be denied that this
is an important business as we'll as
residence street, especially from the
junction with Charleston avenue to
Front street. Heavy freights pass
over it continually nearly all the year
round, as the grade is easier than al
most any other cross street, and it is
as easy to reach Front street by Adams
as by Madison. 1t is true that the
taxes collected from all parts of the
city will be applied to the pavement
of this one street, but this will be no
less the case when we cOmesto pave
Beal, Poplar and other streets, each
enc in turn. Some street must be paved
first, second, and so on. We think it
sound, common sense policy to lay out
the work where there is the greatest
inducement. Do this, and by the time
Adams street is paved the residents of
all other streets will be ready to make
liberal offers, and thus the great work
of paving the principal streets will be
greatly facilitated and the burden OF
taxation will be in a great part as
sumed by private individuals. Can
we afford to refuse such an offer merely
because we may think that some other
street should be paved ahead Of
Adams? Let us take them at their
word while they are in the notion.

NeW lOTh neIdlul
Some days since we saw occasion to
applaud the discretion of the spirits.
1t was given out that the attention of
the spirit world had been called to the
story of Mrs. Hull, and that through
several mediums intimations had been
given that the spirits knew all about
it and were prepared to disclose the
whole story if anybody would treat. 1t
was not the parsimony of mediums or
wisdom mongers that stood in the way,
but the people who turn the crank of
the oracle were possessed with the
conviction that outside suggestions,
theories and information tended TO
distract the attention of the police
from the indescribably brilliant lines
of reasoning by which they expected
to reach the truth. And so the keep
ers of spiritual communication
stood on the matches and would not
ct the wisdom Of the under world
prOut up to distract the agents of
justice. We respected their good will,
but it appears that they did not abso-
lntely hold their peace. They com
mitted themselves to the little indis-
cretion of saying that it was done by a
man and woman-therefore not by
an elephant and giraffe, nor even by
the gyasticutis; and as in fact it was
done by a man, this is pretty near to
it, because the mere addition of a
woman is of not sufficient consequence
to invalidate the important inlorma-
tion actually given in the statement
