two others killed at Hamond's upper

Bad for lis.

Professor Huxley.l
The true reason for doubling the
permanency of republic, even if it is
ever established, lies in the fact that a
republic requires for its maintenance
a far higher standard of morality and
of intelligence in the members of the
State than any other form of govern
ment. Samuel gave the Israelites a
king because they were not righteous
enough to do without one, with a
pretty plain warning of what they
were to expect from the gift. And up
to this time the progress of such
republics as have been established in
the world has not been such as to lead
TO any confident expectation that their
foundation is laid on a sufficiently
secure sub-soil of public spirit, moral
ity and intelligence. On the contrary,
they exhibit examples of personal
corruption and of political profigacy
as fine as any hotbed Of despotism has
ever produced, while they fail in the
primary duty Of the administration of
Justice, as none but an effete despotism
has ever failed.

THE repeal of the Memphis charter
has suggested the idea to nearly all
other cities which carry heavy load
of debt, The New York Herald of
the 9th inst. introduces a long article
in regard to the financial condition of
the city of Elizabeth, ~ j., as fol-
lows:
Rumors were flying thick and fast
around Elizabeth, N. j., yesterday of
efforts being made in Trenton to reduce
ths city to soma sort of territorial condi-
tion, the same as Memphis, the only city
in the United States which, like Eliza
beth, is unable to meet its honest Obliga-
tions. The only warrant for this rumor
was the Introduction OF bill in the legis-
lature taking from the city council of
Elizabeth the power to provide for the
public schools and lodging it directly in
the hands Of the school board. A bill to
that effect was introduced yesterday by
Assemblyman Stiles. In the meantime
President Rankin has issued 4 manifesto
to the good citizens of Elizabeth, asking
them not to hold the school board respon-
siblo for the non-payment of obligations
since October lst this non-payment being
attributed by him simply to "the financial
condition Of the city" and he is emphatic
in declaring that upon their shoulders
does not rest the responsibility for the
non-payment of the teachers aud creditors
of the board
If a city like Elizabeth, which is
really one of the suburban cities of
New York, which grew rich during
the war while we were robbed and
impoverished, and has had every pos
sible advantage, is driven to the neces-
sity of going back into the territories,
what must be the condition of Mem
phis, in fact and in the eyes Of the
World2

We understand that the work of re-
moving the bodies of persons who died
of the yellow fever and were hastily
buried at Emwood is still going on.
Any one of common sense must know
that this is very dangerous to the
health ofthe community, and it ought
to be stopped, if the people have to
appoint vigilance committee for the
purpose Yesterday, in the search for
the body of Mr. T, Il, Blitz, three
bodies were taken up before
his was found. In another in
stance ten bodies were dug up
before the subject sought was discov-
cred. There are a great many orders
in for the removal of bodies from the
trenches to more appropriate places.
Five or six negroes are at work all the
time, and horrible stencil arises in
the vicinity This ghoulish business
should be prevented, and if there is
no law to stop it let other means be
employed. We are surprised that the
respected president of the cemetery
allows such a thing, or that any under
taker would engage in it. Haven't we
had enough of death and sorrow and
gloom without deliberately planting
the seeds of another epidemic?

CAPTAIN JAMES LoUDoN, large
creditor Of the city, had nothing to do
with garnisheeing the relief fund sent
here by generous world during the
prevalence of the yellow fever plague.
The Loudon Brothers have paved
Main street and the levee with stone,
doing honest work at reasonable
prices. They have not been paid in
full and have taken steps to levy upon
the assets of the old city of Memphis,
but they regard the money sent here
to relieve the sick and dying of the
city as a sacred fund, which they
would not attach even if they had the
semblance Of a legal right to do so.
We take pleasure in excepting these
gentlemen from the class of creditors
who would seize upon a charity fund

There is absolute faith in the ability and dis.
position of the government to redeem it, and
hence it passes current all over the country
at it's face value. ANY attempt to take from
it the legal tender quality it possesses ia a
blow at the country's credit, and should be
repelled with indignation. The promise of
the country to redeem its currency issues is
sacred, and must not be violated in the
slightest degree, and every patriotic citizen
should do all in his power to improve rather
than injure the credit of tho government.
Mr.. Bayard's bill is bad one. It partakes
somewhat of the nature of compromise be-
tween the extreme wings of both parties,
but it is q step in the wrong direction. We
might as we'll repudiate our currency as a
whole as to repudiate it in part, as contem-
plated by this bill. We can inform Mr..
Bayard and his associates that the people
will not submit to having the functions of
our legal tender notes abridged in the slight
est degree They ought to be made receiva-
BILE for all debts, both public and private,
including duties on imports and interest on
the public debt. We trust the bill in ques-
ton will repose in the committee to. which
it has been referred until the crack of
doom. hi, II a.g. ,...r ;.--ts.-.-a p II .,- ,srf
