mentatiye could not be put and it
must be raised in the form of a mo-
ton.

because he will not put up at expen-
sive hotels as long as there is friendly

to go West like the Indians, and stand
not upon the order of his going This
is not according tothe fifteenth amend
ment. 1t is a revolution of the aris-
tocracy on wheels against the poor on
foot. Congress ought to interfere,
and the voice Of Simon Cameron
ought to be heard against this outrage
and violation of human rights. Our
earliest ancestors we're tramps. Adam
and Eve left the Garden of Eden on
foot. The New England people ought
to provide for the tramp as they made
him what he is by their financial pol
icy, which has brought about terrible
system of white slavery. If the tramp
would always vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket he would stand a better
chance to excite sympathy and invoke
rations and free rides on the inside Of
cars. Until he becomes thoroughly
identified with the party he may ex-
pect to be ostracised and treated as an
inferior in the heathenish communi-
ties that vote the Republican ticket.

OUR DOUBLE EDITION.


Over six columns of telegraphic
news which came over the wires APP
peared in yesterdays LEDGER, and
even then we were compelled for want
of time and space to throw out some
matter. The readers of the paper
were surprised at this display of en-
terprise, involving such an effort and
heavy expense. We can assure them
that it is but a return for their long
continued and substantial support
which we desire to keep up and CON
tinue. The new arrangement works
admirably. BY issuing two editions,
or even more if necessary we can
gather up and present the cream of
the news, foreign and domestic, for
the day. The difference between Lon
don and Memphis time is nearly six
hours, and this is in our favor. At
nightfall there it is only noon
here, so we are enabled to
present liberal synopsis of
European news for whole day long
before the middle of the afternoon of
the same day here. The local and
general circulation of the LEDGER,
daily and weekly, is larger than ithas
been for years, and it has gradually
increased for several months, This
we regard as the result of legitimate
enterprise and straightforward efforts
We have every reason to be gratified
at our success, past and prospective,
aud can confidently assure our sub
scribers and advertisers that they will
get the worth of their money. As a
matter of course, we expect to con.
tinue upon the best of terms with the
majority of our numerous readers.

CINCINNATI Enquirer: Grant, the
soldier, is on his way home. The Re-
publican party will nominate him for
the Presidency. Republicans are
therefore fighting with the energy of
despair to retain the privilege of using
the army az the polls, to accomplish
party purposes in time of peace at the
point of the sword. Even Grant must
have some shadow of law behind
him. President Hayes is called on to
veto the army appropriation bill for
the benefit of General Grant.

Republican papers harp upon South
ern reputation but the most shame
less repudiator among the States is
Minnesota, which boasted Republi-
can majority of 10000 at the election
of 1876, and rolled up a Republican
majority of ninety six on joint ballot
at the last election. Nothing in the
history of American finances is so
disgraceful as the reputation of Min
nesota.

The following preamble and resolu-
tiOns, introduced in the house of rep
resentatives by Major j. G. Maccabe
at the recent session of our general
assembly, embodying, as they do, the
public sentiment of the State, deserve
the special attention of our senator's
and representatives in congress:
Whereas, The people of Tennessee, in
common with those of the Southern and
Southwestern States of this Union, earn
estly desire, as means of material pro-
gress and prosperity, the construction of
the Texas and Pacific railroad, whereby
the vast and fertile regions of the South
and Southwest may be brought within
easy reach of the commerce and capital of
the world and
Whereas, 1t has been demonstrated by
competent engineers and practical busi-
ness men that at the city of Memphis, in
this State, is the most eligible point on the
Mississippi river for the eastern termini
Of said railroad; therefore
Resolved, That the senators and repre-
sentatives in congress from this State, be
and they are hereby instructed to use all
and every honorable means without re-
gard to party aftiliation or political com
plications, to secure such legislation by
the congress of the United States as will
place the early construction of such rail
road beyond peradventure.
Resolved, That we deem the city of
Memphis the most desirable and eligible
location for the eastern termini on the
Mississippi river of said railroad, and we
urge our senators and representatives in
congress to insist upon said city being de-
slgnated for such purpose in any act of
congress, looking to the construction of
the Texas and Pacific railroad, or making
appropriations for the same.

punishment has apparently encouraged
several Democratic Senators to de-
clare their opposition to Southern war
claims, including two ex Confederates,
Messrs. Hill, of Ga, and Morgan, of
Ala. IF these two Senators will 60
home and declare similar sentiments
to those avowed in the Senate, they
may do much to discourage their Sec
tionS from piling such claims up here
in the Capitol awaiting Democratic
supremacy to have them allowed. Be.
sides that, they will stimulate the peo-
pie to go to work and repair the de-
structon of the war when once con-
vinced that the Government can't be
depended on to do it, and they will
help remove apprehensions that are
justified by the large number and sums
involved,'in those already filed. They
will thus, also, advance real conciia-
ticn.
Itis likely that the estimate Of the
Commissioner of Pensions fully COW
ers the whole amount that will be
needed to meet the requirements of
the new pension bill. Many ostimats
it at $25,OOO,OO0. The only real re.
gret that is generally felt is that great
er care to guard against fraud, was
not taken.
