favor in Great Britain that there is no
difficulty in getting man of Lord Der
by's high position and responsibility to
act in trade disputes, as witness his re-

He belongs to that order of men who

TIE CALAMUs BARoMETER.-Isaac
Lamborn, West Bradford, stopped this
morning, to show us the bit of calamus
root he carries in his pockets as barom-
eter or weather indicator. When he was
here some time ago, the weather was
clear and the root was dry and brittle;
now, the weather being damp and rainy,
the calamus was soft and pliable, easily
bending double without breaking. Mr..
Lamborn says the top of the calamus

IDENTIFY to the patriotism of the eoun-

can party were TO be successful, such a
result would mean the end of the

the result of such a controversy? In
Russia, Germany or France, the result
might be doubtful, but it could not be
doubtful here. Civil liberty could
not perish on its own threshold and at
its own fresidc. The past and future
protested against it, and what was of
more practical value, the Democratic

against it he could hear the tread of
legions forming with the banners of
civil liberty above them. The contest

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-EDITOR
LEDGER: When | left Memphis /
promised to send you some dOttings
from Washington, which is now the
greatest center in the world for laws
and politicians; where fortunes wheel
at every turn makes some new man OF
reduces some old one to his original
state; where place and power is the
pinnacle Of every ones ambition, and
where a true patriot is hard to be
found. The terrible fight over the
army and judicial bills" has brought
out all of the reserved talent on both
sides of the question, which has kept
the country ON the qui vive and some
of the officials in a somewhat anxious
state for their bread and butter.
The passage of the army bill has
given strength to the backbone of the
Democrats, who, divided on other
measures, seem to have given strong
and unite pull on this. As every re-
ligious sect quotes the bible to prove
its doctrine, every politician quotes the
constitution which has been worn
threadbare. | am sure our dear old
Republican fathers would weep over
that once cherished document.
inquired of our commander and
chiet OF the army what he thought of
the " army bill. He was very firm in
the belief that the President should
be firm in his constitutional right to
use troops at the ballot box; that the
charge Of bribery on United States
officers was untrue, and if one was
derelict he would be dismissed from
the service. General Sherman, like
all men of large intellect, is very con
seryatlve in politics, but on this ques,
tion he is very firm, and from what |
can learn the mind of the President
is influenced from the Sherman brain.
The Democrats have taken the for
tress (the army bilD, but the Judi
cial will prove aSebastopol, and as
congress will adjourn without any
action on it, it is believed that the
President will call them back to an
extra session No. 2.
| did not intend to say all this-only
to tell you that Memphis ought to be
proud of her two representatives.
Casey Young is regarded with high
respect for his firm, wise and prudent
conduct, on these exciting questions !,
vigilant and watchful, not to compro-
mise his party on great national ques-
tions, at the same time he is careful
not to draw the powder from guns
which do a good deal Of shooting and
kill very little game. Gov. Harris
maintains his high rank for talent and
honesty, and though regarded by many
as little too Bourbon, he lisa Hercu
les on all Southern questions.
Boss Shepherd has given us a
beautiful city of parks, and we'll
paved streets. The wide avenues have
been turned into court yards giving
each house keeper beautiful plat Of
green grass, filled with flowers, and
perfect sanitary regulations, With
the hope that Memphis will be as
wisely benefited with her new city
fathers, Yours truly, +. L. S.

THE Knoxville Chronicle says: If
the Memphis papers do not weary in

sentiment in that community which
will render the foolish practice of car
rying concealed weapons the opposite

keep it up until this relic of barbarism
will be thing Of the past. Let the

and 90 around with deadly weapons

courage rely upon something else.
Rather let our jails be filled

families, but who go to theaters, social
parties aud other public places with
pistoIs in their hip pockets, than that
life should be endangered by a prac-

FALL RIVER, June H.-The mills
are running this morning with the
exception of the Narragansett's, which
shut down yesterday. Some of the
mills gained a few spihners to-day;
others lost. There is no intimida-
ton or violence, but the manulac-

a number of men at work yesterday
are out to-day through fear.
The men who came here have been
returned by the spinners. All watched
aud imported help were solicited to
return. A company of spinners this
morning waited on the mayor, asking
that the extra police be withdrawn
from the streets and kept at the sta
ton, where they could readily be
called in case they were needed. The
mayor said he should try to act as de-
sired by the party during the strike,
but would preserve order, and that
the extra police were put on to pre-.
vent disturbance, and that the spin
Oers would not be interfered with il
