QUE COMMERcTAI sTATEMENT.

On Wednesday, the first of Septem-
Der, the LEDGER will contain a care
fully prepared statement of the bust
ness of Memphis for the year ending
August 3lst compared with former
years. This will be condensed and
comprehensive and in tabular form.
which will make it valuable to all
classes of business men for reference.
In addition to this, the paper will
contain articles of interest upon the
progress Of Memphis, the outlook for
the season and the future, the con-
dition Of various houses and local in
stitutions, and the general outlook for
the Mississippi valley. 1t will be a
number of unusual interest, greatly
enlarged, and one which will attract
the attention Of the public at large.
An edition will be issued sufficient to
meet the local and general demand.
But dealers aud others desiring to in
crease their orders are requested to
hand in their orders as early as posi-
BILE that there may be no mistake.

The Memphis LEDGER, a repudia-
tion organ, is doing about this time a
vast deal of deliberate boasting. 1t
claims county after county for Wilson.
Is this not something like counting
the chickens before they are hatched2
Don't you think so, Brother LEDGER?
Knoxville Dispatch.
Every man and paper in the state
willing to submit to the people
any settlement of The state debt
that might be agreed upon by
the legislature, is classed by
the bond holders organs as re-
padiator. We are quite ac-
customed to this sort of thing.
When the LEDGER attacked the in
famous funding bill in 1873 these
same papers said in chorss; "Repudi-
ation!n The term has lost its signiG-
canoe and gives US no concern. No
final settlement, made by order Of an
uproarious cut-and-dried convention
will ever be carried out. The bosses
of this scheme know it too.

and to supply the country with goods
in every line aud at prices defying the
competition of st. Louis, Cincinnati,
New York and other rival cities.

If Garfield should be elected which
is hardly within the range of possibil-
tiles, we desire now, ahead ofany 9TH
er paper, to nominate Colonel VIM.
R. Moore for some office. A cabinet
position, if possible, but an office.
Artemus Wald was wont to say
that virtue has its award. If this is
true, and we have never heard it dis
puted, Colonel Moore must have an
Office. In the economy of the uni
verse there must be one for him some
where and if there is a man in the
world who can fad one, VIM. r. is
the man. 1t may be at Odessa.
where our old friend L. Il.
Dyer luxuriates on ffteen-hundred-
dollar consulate; it may be collector
Of customs for the port Of Memphis, a
place held by one of the stalwart re-
publican members Of the Federal
Office holders ring, or it may be the
fat postal inspectorship held by the
genial Waldron but it is something
and somewhere. Such distinguished
and disinterested services must be
recognized sooner or later. There
will be a place found that he will fit
even if it has to be made by speciaI
act of congress.

Louisville oou'.sr-Journal ]
nlring the lightning discharges
yesterday afternoon, the telephone
wires in the northern and northwest
ern portion of the city became dan
gerously charged with the electric
fluid, and large number of tele
phones were destroyed. The tele-
phone inspector reported ffty-two
lines omen and seventy-fve micro
phones burned. The open lines were
broken partly by the wind and storm,
and partly by being burned by the
lightning. The telephone system in
this city, as in every other, is pro-
tected as much as possible from the
dangers of the lightning, but perfect
security cannot be obtained, and, al
though exceptionally fortunate here
tofore, the loss yesterday was very
large. Down Main street and in the
business portion of the city the mi
crophones suffered numerously, being
burned by the lightning, in some cases
almost completely destroyed, and in
others scorched and damaged so badly
that the repairs necessary will
amount to almost as much as a new
instrument, The telephones were en-
tirely unhurt, as far as is known, be-
cause, when not in use and hung on
the hook attached to the telephone
box, the circuit is cut off from the tel
phone ITSELF To use the telephone
in a thunderstorm is sometimes
quite dangerous, and tAe man with
the instrument to his ear runs the
risk of being plugged on the head with
a thunderbolt direct from Jove. Mr..
Charles Hill, the present inspector
here, while formerly engaged in the
same business in Cincinnati, was one
day shot in the ear by stroke Of
lightning, and has since been deaf in
that organ. The accident is likely to
occur any day fthe proper precau-
tions are not taken by the users of tel
ephones. Every instrument is pro-
yided with safety plug, which, if
arranged when the storm begins, eff.
fectually cuts tho electricity off from
the instruments.

thing else. The Haymarket Of London
is more like an American theater than
any Of the others. In London the
Haymarket occupies the same rela-
tive position that Wallack's does in
New York. In it are produced COM
edies mostly, and its patrons are en-
lnently aristocratic. The Gaiety,
however, is the most popular theater
with the better classes. 1t might be
said to resemble the Union Square or
Park theaters in New York, in respect
to its audiences. Most Of the London
theaters, however, are dreary, uncom-
Portable places and do not at all com
pare with our fresh, bright American
theaters." !"

We started for home on August

As the reporter was taking up his
hat to depart, a breath of air displaced
some of the papers lying on the table,
and a written programme 9Uttered to
floor.
HAh," said Mr.. Raymond, as he
picked it up, "this is pleasant SOU
yenir of our voyage home. Last Tues
day evening we gave an entertainment
of music and recitations, and it was
most delightful occasion in every
way. 1t was beautiful night and
everything passed off splendidfy. The
affair was given in the cabin of the
steamer, and was productive of con-
siderable amusement and great deal
of applause. At the close of the ex-
ercises some of the ladies collected 65
pounds for the benefit Of the Liver
pool seamen's orphanage.

General Grants Japanese Body
SerYants

General Grant has Japanese body
servant, His name is Yiseddo, and he
dresses like an American and carries
a cane, he told a reporter of the
Denver Tribune in very well chosen
and queerly pronounced English, that
be found Spanish more like his own
language, better than any other,
and that he had learned it readily
and enjoyed practicing it on the
Mexicans whom he met in the UNI
ted States. He is a Buddhist and
thinks that his religion is much like
Christianity. In fact, he believes
both religions came from a single faith
ages ago. He said that Japan regards
the United States as model nation
and is initiating many Of the ways and
customs OF this country. AS an
American partly and partly because of
his part in helping to settle the diff
cultiss between Japan and China, the
Japanese regard General Grant with
affection and admiration, Yiseddo
individually finds fulflment of his
highest desire in being permitted to
accompany General Grant on his
travels.

The Cenaus in the Nonlh.

Chicago Times,l
Apropos of the southern census and
the complaint that it has not been
correctly taken, a southern gentleman
has written a letter in which he de-
nies the charge of fraud, and shows
how the south has prospered and in
creased under the changed condition
of its affairs. This gentleman has
been a lifelong anti-slavery man,
though a native southerner, and reverts
to an argument which he published
forty years ago to show that
capital invested in slaves was wholly
unprOductiye. 1t was clear to him

Those who attend church services
sometimes suffer annoyance from a
failure to catch the number of the
hymn by reason of the imperfect enun-
citation Of the clergyman. In the
First Methodist Episcopal church in
New Haven, the numbers of the
hymns to be sung are posted in neat
gilt figures on one Of the central pill
lars Of the organ front. The present
pastor of that church is a model Of
distinctness of utterance, but if any
auditor, from a defective sense OF
hearing or other cause, should fail to
understand the number, he has only
to glance at the figures on the organ.

The suggestion set forth at length
some days ago in these columns, that
the railroads should reduce rates and
bring the people here in the month Of
September, has been heartily second
cd. Not only the morning papers, but
the cotton exchange and many other
business men have taken up the idea,
and given it hearty endorsement.
we hope that the excursion to be
given on the 2lst proxsmO will be a
grand success, and that our visitors
will have no cause to complain of eKr
torLion or want of accommo-
dations. Such a thing has new
er happened, and never should.
We desire that our neighbors, friends
and kindred who stood by Memphisin in
her darkest hour should come and see
for themselves that the city has sur
yiyed her misfortunes and is wogSing
out a splendid destiny with heroic
hope, energy and confidence. 1t is
desirable, if possible, to make excur
sion rates with the railroads in distant
states, so that people who know Mem
phis only by name may come and see
the most marvellously restored and
expansive young city on the continent.

then, ,thatthe abolition of slavery would
llberate capital, diversity employment,
and by preventing future investments
would cause every surplus thousand
dollars to be proftably employed in
improving farms and farm houses, or
sitting up work shops and factories, in
building and making internal improve
ments, and in extending trade and
commerce. These results, he holds
have actually followed emancipation,
and he thinks that this fact will ac.
count for just such an increase of pop
ulatiOn as is indicated in the census
rOturns from the southern states. He
then proceeds to consider doubts
which have been thrown by the north.
ern papers upon the truthfulness of
these returns, and points out that with
their sparse population, their
abundant natural resources, their
valuable staples, their ample
water power, numerous navigable riv-
ers and easy access to markets for their
products, the southern states possess
the principal conditions which under
a system Of free labor might have
been expected tocause rapid increase
in population. He thinks, however
that the increase now shown may new.
ertheless be somewhat larger than
that which has actually taken place
during the past decade, not because of
untruthfulneSs in the present returns,
but owing to deficiencies in the
returns for 1870, arrangements for
taking the present census, as regards
the number and qualifications of
enumerators, having been far more
favorable to thorough and accurate
enumeration than those of ten years
ago,

THE ISSUE.

i HE LEDGER Is tne only daily paper
in Tennessee which supports the gal
lant one-armea ex-Confederate, S. L.
Wilson, for governor. The LEDGER
was the only democratic daily in the
state that fought the funding bill and
aided to render that outrageous usurp-
alton null and void. In this contest we
are in line with about a dozen able
and fearless weekly papers. We stand
together like Spartan band and have
no fear Of the result. Ridicule and
denunciation, and epithets only unite
us the closer; we but speak for the
people. The whippers-in who captur-
ed the Nashville convention and drove
out a respectable minority will not be
able to explain their course and to set
themselves right with the people in
the nsEt twenty years. A more reck-
less domineeripg spirit never prevailed
in state convention. Il was captured
from the start, and although the tem-
porary Craftsmanship carried no power
with it, the majority even claimed
this empty honor and set up Colonel
George Washington to make an elo-
quent dissertation on the saeredness
of state credit and the ignOminy Of al
legged reputation. The low credit
men we're rarely recognized by the
permanent chairman, but the
hotspurs were on the floor
first, last and all the time; and it was
one of this class that finally moved the
preyiousquestion lestsome olive branch
should be raised aud prevail. The
majority held high carnival and roared
with delight and derision when the
protesting minority felt coBstrained to
withdraw, 1t was very funny then,
but there will be different smile on
thehigh tax democratic physiognomy Of
the party about the day after the elec
tioa. This question was RENTED to
the sovereign will Of the people by the
action Of the democratic convention Of
August, 1873, by the fifty and four
act of the following year, and it
can no more be taken away
and given exclusively to the jurisdic-
ton Of some branch Of the state gov
ernment, thaa the right Of suffrage
can be withdrawn from a people re-
Gently enfranchised. We have no
more sympathy with repudiators than
with those Ia the democratic and re-.
publican parties who belisYe that the
debt should be paid on the bond hold
ers' terms=-eyap dollar for dollar.
We do not belong to either extreme,
and at present have no particular rate
Of settlement to urge. But as the
high credi. element insisted on sub
mitting this question to a popular
vote, and the precedent has been made
there is no alternative but to consult
and ascertain the will Of the people.
Whilst making no war on the rail-
| roads, whose officers and managers are
good citizeusend popular gentlemen,
VIC know that the bondholders have
seen fit to sue the railroads for a great
portion of the bonded debt, and, upon
mature reflection, we cannot now ad-
wise the people TO assume that por-
ton of the debt, or take any action in
regard to it, until a decision is rem
dered by the United States supreme
court. AS to the rest of che debt, it
should be separately settled-uot dol
lar for dollar, perhaps, but upon fair
adjustment. The people would,
doubtless, vote for this almost unani-
mnuelv
