THE AUTHORITIES 1NDORsEp

Our new authorities finds a hearty
Endorsement in communication
which appears elsewhere to-day. Even
the Sunday laws meets the approval Of
the writer. The LEDGER Joins in the
heartiest manner in this Endorsement
IN everything except the Sunday order
business. That feature is opposed
mainly because it bears unequally
upon the people, because it cannot be
enforced except partially, and because
a large portion Of the people of all
cities have been educated to believe
that there is no harm in innocent
recreation on the Sabbath. They are
asdeyoutintheirr eirreligious practices and
as good citizens as those who have
been taught to believe otherwise.
Their opinions and customs are en-
titled to equal respect. This class will
drink their Sunday beer, will smoke
their cigars and pipes and will get their
Sunday morning shave and bath in
spite Of all the Sunday orders that
may be promulgated. Forty police
men distributed in each ward, instead
of one or two, could not prevent this.
During the days Of the military law,
when provost guards patrolled every
street and byway and stringent penal
ties were inflicted for a violation of
Sunday laws, they were evaded sue
cessfully, 1t is only the poor cigar
dealers, and small venders of various
articles, usually sold on the Sabbath
to supply the demand of transient Wis
itors, who have only front entrance to
their booths, that suffer Whenever an
alley or side-door is placed to saloon
the sale Or issuance of liquids and
other goods cannot be prevented. 1t
has been tried in various cities, with
one inyariable result-ailure. The
new authorities have so far performed
their onerous duties well in every par
ticular except the one alluded to-
They have been moderate and Just,
but firm, in the execution of the
manifold ordinances or laws that have
been agreed upon, and it is evident to
all that they mean well. No approval
OF their course can be more hearty or
earnest than that entertained by the
LEDGER except, as before remarked,
in regard to that of executing impos-
sibilities.

THE LOWER TRADE.
Competition and Cutting Of Rates Con.
test for the Bends Business Between
the Illinois and A Line.

The Adams Mail Line packet Red
Wing, coming up this trip, in order to
get the business away from the Illi-
nols between Arkansas Citya Friar' $
Point, took cotton at 25c per bale and
seed at &c per sack, the object being to
drive the Illinois out of the trade.
This can never be effected, as the busi-
ness of the Illinois is steadily increas-
ing, and now that the rate has been
cut, the Illinois, which is owned here.
and her owners and officers being fully
identified with the interests of Mem
phls, and in order to benefit the com
merce of Memphis and bring trade
to the city, will carry cotton from
points between Arkansas City and
Frars Point for % cents per bale and
seed at D cents per sack, other freight
IN proportion deckers at 80 cents and
cabin passengers at a nominal rate.
The officers of the Illinois solicit
business at all times for Memphis,
while her business in the bends with
the planters'and at the various land
lngs is increasing every trip, although
evil. disposed persons have reported in
the bends that she would be with
drawn or driven from the trade. Not
withstanding all such reports the IIli-
nols will continue in the trade and
run regular throughout the year. She
will never lose trip unless by acci-
dent. She is in better condition than
she ever was, is staunch, one of the
best carriers on the river and is one of
the best adapted packets that plies the
Southern waters. In addition to the
Illinois new and elegant sidewheel
steamer will be constructed at Pitts
burg this summer for the owners of
the Illinois to run in connee-
ton with her, thus forming a
strong line. The new boat
will be completed and ready for bust
ness by the lst of August. The officers
of the Illinois will continue in the
even tenor of their ways, and by strict
attention to business and disposition
to do right with the shipping and
travelling public hope to merit liberal
share of patronage and an extension
Of business. The aim of myself and
officers will be to please and accommo-
date all who come in contact or do
business with the Illinois. We make
no fight or opposition upon any boat
or person, but will work hard and
assiduously to increase the growing
trade and popularity of the Illinois.
My motto is as it has always been !:
Peace and prosperity to all men. "
Respectfully,
JOHN B. DAVIS,
Master Steamer Illinois.

welfare of this city at heart may re-
joice. At last we have men at the
helm Of our local government who
mean to put this city in good sani-
tary condition, and the evidences of
their good work can be seen on every
hand. The streets look cleaner; the
alleys ditto. Filth and dirt that had
been accumulating in cellars and base
ments for months, aud perhaps years
are brought forth from their hiding
places and carted away. The garbage
carts, which will commence their work
soon, will hereafter prevent any more
accumulations of dirt and filth in the
yards, alleys and easements. The at
mosphere will no longer be poisoned
with the many stinks as in times gone

with dirty and filthy yards that they
will require lively shaking up by our
energetic commissioners before they
