BIRLIN, Aug. 1.-The best taccounts arrive here
from Gastein as to 'he health Of the Emperor,
who continues to devote his time to labor and
recreation alternately; while the Crown Prince,
who is residing with his family in the new palace
at Potsdam, never allows das to PASS without
reviewing troons, often at great distance from
Berlin, or inspecting some exhibition or military
invention. In the 1atter respect NAV mention
that. after considerable indecision and DELAY.
the War Office here has resolved to replace tile
old smooth-bore cavalry pistol bv a new revolver
Of peculiar make, being encouraged thereto bv
the success which has attended the use of some
what similar weanoD for sevara1 years back tn:
the Twelfth Saxony Army Corps. This new
cavalry pistol, which hears the mark an

said to he constructed from various models. and
must be capable Of performing great things,
having been selected, It seems, without entering
into competition with either the Dretse or Lowe
revolver. the latter taking effect at 20o kiome-
tres, and firing at least twelve shots pcr minute
The Lowe revolver was introduced into the Rus

OF its kind, and seems to1lave given SO much

THE press Of the State generally, as
far as it has spoken ont at all, iavors a
special session of he Legislature. The
Gibson county Mirror of this week
says:
The cold weather this week puts to
rest all fears of q recurrence OF yellow
fever this year in Memphis. The city
is urging the Governor to convene the
Legislature in extraordinary session to
l%egislate in the interest of Mem
phis. and these interests effect
the entire State. We have
heretofore expressed our views
upon the subject. w think the state
of Tennessee should do something for
the relief of Memphis and not-like
paupers, continue to beg of strangers,
let us protect our own people. We
believe the action Of the Governor
should he call the legislature together,
would be approved by the masses OF
the people throughout the state.
Of course it is expected hat the
authorities and leading citizens, rich
and poor, will come to something like
an understanding in regard to the
measures desired before makingalorm-
al and final application to the Governor
TO convene the lcgislature. The rate
Of taxation must be determined upon
and we cannot standyery much, But
we must say whether We can stand
one per cent. for sewerage or only
three-fourths or one-half Of one per
cent. 1t is not to be expected that
everybody will agree to anything, but
there must be some degree Of unanim-
ity before any steps can be taken for
the relief of Memphis. There must be
concessions; no one man or set of men
should attempt to enforce a particular
view. Let us reason together, come
to an understanding as to what should
be done, and then begin the work.
The distinguished sanitarians in our
midst come in no yaunting spirit.
They come to learn as well as instruct,
TO confer rather than dictate. After
they have been here a few days and
examined the reports Of those engaged
in the work of inspection from house
to house, and have conferred freely
with the committee Of fifteen, and
with all others who have suggestions
to make, their views will be submit
ted, and will be entitled to the most
respectful consideration. Some gen.
eral plan Of action must be sgreed
upon, aud hat without delay.

Corr. Cincinnati Enquirer.l
nUBMN, November 21.-The great
mass meeting announced to be held
here to-day was one of the most re-
markable demonstrations ever held in
this city. The Rotunda, in which the
meeting was held, was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and thousands Of
people were unable to get within car
shot OF the speakers. All day the
streets have been crowded with excited
masses OF men, eagerly discussing the
arrests and the general situation in
Ireland.
Parnell spoke in his usual vein, but
with added bitterness and vindictive-
ness, caused by the arbitrary course Of
the authorities. He denounced the
arrests Of the champions of the peo-
pies cause, declared it impossible to
convict them Of any crime, and an
uounced that the Government should
be held responsible for whatever con-
sequences might follow. The charges
were the merest trumpery, inspired by
the charlatanism and demagoguery Of
the Disraeli Cabinet, and founded
upon hatred Of the Irish people. He
expressed his belief that the day Of
delivcrance is near at hand, and hat
the oppressive land system under
which the people are grooming is tot.
tering to its fall.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
and 50 much confusion prevailed that
it was almost impossible to distin-
guish the speakers words. ParnelI
will speak at Balla tomorrow. Gov.
ernmeut officials aver that Americans
are supplying arms and funds to con
tinue the agitation, and hat England
will resent this interference, and il
determined to crush sedition in Ire.
land at whatever cost. The Irisl
people in Liverpool, Manchester anC
London have announced meetings fol
to-day.

GRANT.
President Hayes EnrolIs Himself In the
Ranks Of the Thlrd-Term Boomers
The Feeling Toward the South,
speeiaI 70 the CIncinnati Enauirer.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, November 2l.-In
private conversations President Hayes
has expressed himself to certain mill
tary visitors as of the belief that
General Grant will be his successor in
the White House. Hayes says his
Southern policy failed through the
desertion of a part Of the Republicans,
and the sudden c~ussedness coincidence
OF the young roughs of the south, by
which reaction was produced in both
sections. Grant, however, the presi-
dent thinks, will come in at a period
to get the altered temperature Of both
sections. The president says if Grant
is the man to restore good feeling and
put the country on a durable plane, he
sees no reason why he should not &C.
cept. The parties TO Nbom the presi-
dent spoke on this subject say he ex-
pressed the opinion that Grant would
accept. the nomination both on public
and private grounds. No other man
had ever been offered the presidency
three times, because no other seemed
necessary three times.
As to the rumor of Grant receiving
u new grade in the army, the President
appeared to think hal it would not
give him the useful opportunity the
Presidency affords. His i%nterlocuters
suggested that it would be better to
pass a general law giving all ex.Presi-
dents a salary say of $4,000 a year.
The President replied hat this would
be creditable to the country. He said
he had never been able, until he
reached the Presidency, to a v any
thing out of his official salary. Hayes
expressed the belief hat the South
had its imagination fayorably aroused
for Grant, and that if he could divide
that section it might neutralize the OBJ
lection to o third torn. ltisalso said
that Secretary Of State Evarts has
been speaking very appreciatiyely Of
Grant and the good uses he might
have in the future.
A very decided good feeling prevails
here since the election toward the
South, and their advances are met
more than half, The attendance Of
the Virginia troops at the dedication
Of the Thomas statue is very highly
commented upon, and they received
considerable attention from the Army
of Cumberland. GATE.
