The Reason for Re-eIecting
Grant.
New York Sun.

There is no more reason for re-
electing Grant now than there was
when his second term expired,
except that he has been treated
with much attention by certain
foreign potentates. And is that a
reason why the American people
should elect him president a third
time?
The crowned heads of the Old
World would like togiye us ak ing.
Is that any reason why we should
accept king?
The American people will choose
their own president without foreign
dictation or foreign influence, and
the instinct of freedom will prompt
them TO elect some man other than
Grant.

New Haven Register: The Dem
ocratic party of the present day, fol-
lowing in the footsteps Of the Dem
ocratic-Republican party of Jeffer-
son, propose to wipe from the stat
ute book the present centralizing
laws, just Az the "alien and sedition"
laws were blotted out in the olden
time. That a similar success will
crown their efforts in the iplpend-
ing struggle cannot be doubted.
Congress will carefully, calmly and
deliberately consider the question
forced upon it by Mr.. Hayes. Pru-
dcncc, moderation and unhinching
iirmness in support of the right will
characterize its action. Hayes will
be compelled to plant his feet
squarely upon the slippery ground
Of Federal Capitalization. He will
be forced to say plainly and with
out evasion that he and the Repub-
Lean party propose to manipulate
State elections by the employment
Of Federal soldiers, under the fimsy
pretence Of Creeping the peace. y
Having once squarely taken that
position, Hayes and the Republican
party will be swallowed up in the
angry waves Of II Red Sea of popu-
lar indignation.

DO You Really Want II Strong
Government
New York sun.


The common answer To the in
quiry, Why are you in favor OF Gen,
Grant Z ii, We want ii strong gov
ernmcnt.
Now, is il worth while TO ponder
somewhat over this proposition,
and consider whether q strong gov
ernmcnt is really desirable,
What is u strong government ?
People in this country who mention
il 80 eayalierly labor under the
mistake that IL is n government
strong to protect It's citizens in their
rights. Practically, such is seldom,
if over, the case.
\ strong government is strong to
Cypress. So FIR MS protection Is
concerned, il is only strong 10 pro
tect itself by tho oppression Of
Others.
In speaking of Gen. Grant ms Il
man who, il reelected, would give
tho United States strong govern
ment, what is moant2
II is meant thai he would make
an administration strong for the
negroes IL the expense ofthe whites;
strong for the carpet Dagger at Tho
expense ut the substantial and per-
mancnt resident, an administration
strong in the cohesive power Of
public plumber.
II would certainly be m admin
istration Of strong odor; for ii
would smell of Babeoek and Robe
son and the Whiskoy Ring.
II would be an administration
strong in military support and des-
potic tendencies.
Strong governments make them
selves streng at The cost ofthe blood
and The liberties Of the people,
A strong government would I've
out oi place in the United States.

The Russian government is maxi
ing an average Of four thousand
arrests a day Of persons charged
with nihilism. At this rate it is
only o question Of time when the
last of the conspirators will be in
prison, and the emperor can walk
out without fear of assassination
from his wife and children, as these
will probably be all the people that
will be left.--Peck.

Detroit Free Press: The Exeeu-
tive if he had been perfectly honest,
would have simply announce to the
House that he vetoed the bill be-
cause the Republicans in Congress
had madosuch u terrible hullabaloo
over il that he dared not do other
wise, The fact that he has dcluged
the House with u mass Of words
will not conceal this knowledge
from the House; nor will the fact
that he has chosed TO intimate, in
almost 50 many words, that he will
veto the Legislative Appropriation
bill, no mattor how salutary il may
be, if il contain what he know as
"riders,' hcightcn the respect which
Congress will feel for his veto Of the
Army bill.

Springfield Register: The under
lying theory ofthe so-called Repub-
lican party is, that the people Of
the United States are incapable of
maintaining peaceful, orderly, law
full government among themselves,
and, therefore, it is necessary that
they should be subjected to. the
supervisory protective care Of an
authority not subject to their direct
influence OF control.

William Waldran was brought to the
city from Arkansas yesterday, and placed in
the stationhouse for safe-keeplng until a lit
tie horse trade he made in this city few
days ago can be Investigated. The particu-
lars of the offense alleged against him were
related to US about as follows: Several days
ago Waldran, who resides near Bartlett, bor-
rowed horse from neighbor, Mrs. Fannie
Eddlngs, rode the animal into the city, and
sold him to Mr.. J. f. Gilmore. The pur-
chaser demanded references from Waldran
before he would pay the money for
the horse. Waldran had given
bill OF sale in the trade over the fictitious or
forged signature of Robert Richardson, and,
fearing detection, never returned with the
desired references, and consequently he never
got the purchase money for the horse. HIS
fears of detection in the transaction so haunt
ed him that he left the State, going over into
Arkansas, where Mr.. J. w. Lawler discov-
cred him and caused his arrest. Waldran
consented to return to the city without going
through the formality of requisition from
the governor, and was brought over yester-
day by Mr.. Lawler, as related above, He
will be Investigated Monday.

Enterprise and Energy.

Who does not admire and appreciate en-
terprise and energy? and especially so when
combined with display of good taste, regu-
lated by sound judgment, and resulting in a
wholesome progresslveness, avoiding alike
the extremes of stagnation and irertness on
the one hand and reckless extravaganza on
the other. These reflections were prompted
by a call at the elegant store of L. d. Wilder,
292 Main street, Clark's marble block, dealer
in all varieties of ladies' and gentlemen's
custom made boots and shoes and hats.
Our friend Wilder has carried into his new
business all the energy and tact that charac-
terlZed him for many years IN the hardware
trade of this city; and besides that love for
system and order which finds its development
in the excellent provision made for the pro-
lection of his stock from dust and dampness,
viz, dust-procf packages for boots and
shoes, and glass cases for hats, he has
wisely adopted the CASH SYSTEM in the
conduct of his business, and deems it
scarcely necessary to remind the public
of the natural advantage to buyer and seller
resulting from its practice-enabling the
seller to make frequent but small profits
on his sales, and the buyer being advantaged
by low prices, the profit on which does not
provide for probable losses on sales. He has
the efficient assistance of Mr.. Charley Saffar-
rams in his sales department, whose long ex-
perience and we'll deserved popularity with
all classes of our people, together with other
courteous and attentive assistants, render his
ambition to provide for and please the public
certain of realization. This house is just
now receiving and opening a superb stock of
spring goods from the hands of the best
manufacturers of the land. and we heartily
commend it to the public notice and favor,
and suggest visit on the part of all of our
readers, feeling sure that our impressions will
thereby be Endorsed by all.

THE GREAT DRY GOODS HOUSE
OF MemphIs-An Opening Day at Men
ken Brothers.

After the magnificent display Of imported
costumes and fine dress fabrics on Thursday
last at this celebrated establishment, there
can be no doubt in the minds of the ladies of
Memphis where the most fashionable goods
can be obtained. For years the firm of
Menken Brothers have labored to make their
house the headquarters for useful and desir-
able as well as fashionable goods. They
have made reputation which the people of
Memphis, by their generous patronage, fully
sustain, and they are now making greater
exertions than ever to supply the wants of
the community. We could not undertake to
give even a general description of the many
costly and elegant garments, the beautiful
brocades, new style vestings and other fine
dress fabrics exhibited at this house last
Thursday, but our attention was attracted In
a particular manner by the very handsome
and large assortment of fine grenadines IN
satin stripes ard brocades. We learned that
this firm are sole agents for the well-knoWn
and celebrated Levassier's lace buntings, in
black and colors, fabric Sc well adapted to
this climate. Take it all in all, we look upon
this brilliant display as the most elaborate
and elegant which it mas ever been our
pleasure to look upon.

Not Going to Leave the CITY,

Messrs. Leubrie Bros. have issued the fol-
lowing circular address: "After residence
of twenty years we find it impossible to leave
and tear asunder the associations of so many
years, and have concluded to start again with
renewed energy and enterprise. We have
determined in taking up our new quarters to
open frst-class dry goods, fancy goods and
millinery house, at 26l Main street, equal to
any, and second to none IN the city, or in the
south; and we sincerely hope, that with
large and wel,-selected stock, polite attention,
fair dealing and low prices fer choice goods,
to receive our share of the public patronage
in the future, as In the past. Very truly
yours, LEUBRIE BROS"
1t having been rumored that Leubrie Bros.
were preparing to close out business and leave
the city, the above card settles the matter.
The Leubrie Bros. have been, and are, en-
terprising merchants, and they will make
their new establishment one OF the finest in
the southern country. The above detern l.
nation on their part will be hailed with pleas
ure by their friends in the city and country.

The gorilla has been drawing well at the
museum, as everyone would like to see a
specimen of the largest as well as the small
est branch of the monkey tribe. But the
wrong man went to see the gorilla yester-
day. Mr.. Smith, of Saline county, Arkansas,
who is here on business, passing along Main
street, noticed the signs in front Of the great
moral show and went IN to see what was
there. While the proprietor was in the rear
and the visitor in the front part of the exhi-
bition-room, the latter heard his name called,
but could not tell where the voice came from.
In looking around, he saw the would-be 60
rilla reckoning him to come nearer. 'You
don't know me, of course" said the big
monkey. "Why, Tom, what are you doing
here?" Don't you see what I'm doing
playing monkey. Its better than farming on
shares; get good salary; draw it regularly
and enjoy it. But don't give me away when
you go back. l shall never be able to stay
at home again if the boys hear about it. 5"
The conversation, carried on in low voice,
ceased suddenly as the boss of the show
came toward the cage. The gorilla retired
to corner and the visitor continued his tour
of inspection.
