THAT RIDER.

Nine months, with all the varied
incidents that can be crowded into
that time, have passed since the
extra session of congress closed it's
doors to meet no more. These
nine months have been fruitful of
warnings to the democratic party,
and these warnings, contrary to
custom, have been heard and
needed. The judgment passed on
the revolutionary measures Of thai
extra session was too sweeping tc
be passed without change Of front
Its influence was even strong
enough to place gags in the mouths
and padlocks on the tongues Of the
friest representatives of the south,
Taunts of the most exasperating
character were received in silence;
charges of cowardice were meekly
taken, and, all in all, the southern
member was lamb~like in the ex>
IRENE. &
The debate on the army appro>
priation bill was one.sided from the
beginning. Democrats did not dare
even to defend their former votes,
although every device was used to
obtain expressions from them. That
was the pith of all the efforts Of
the republicans, for the rider now
placed on the bill amounts to
nothing. It's only Importance
arises from the fact that it
is is simply rusc to hide an
exceedingly demoralized retreat. If
the president should approve the
bill as it now stands, the restric-
ton would be practically dead
letter. His right to use the army
to prevent breaches of the peace
and enforce the laws, comes from
higher power than a mere partisan
resolution. 1t is guaranteed to him
by the highest of all powers--the

A Fresh Railroad Sensation.
IAtIanta Constitution


1t has transpired that the recent
tour Of inspection Of President Os>
born and General Manager Clark,
of the Chicago, St. Louis and New
Orleans road, is attended with more
than ordinary significance, and : is
likely to prove of great interest
alike to Chicago and Cincine
natl. Before the Louisville and
Nashville scooped in the prin-
cipal southern roads all the bust
ness that went over the Nashville
and Chattanooga road from Nash
vile to New Orleans passed over
the Chicago, St, Louis and New
Orleans road.
Under the present condition of
things the latter road can not hope
to get any business from Nashville
to New Orleans, the management Of
the Louisville and Nashville carry
ing all of il via Montgomery. e In
order not to be despoiled" Of
this business the Chicago, st. Louis
and New Orleans propose to make
common cause with the Cincinnati
Southern-the former to build a
line from Jackson, Tenn, to Nash.
vile, and the Cincinnati Southern
Ito build line from Knoxville to
Nashville. Such "a line would en-,
able the Chicago, ST. Louis and
New Orleans to maintain the busl~
ness enjoyed heretofore, and would
make it, as well as the Cincinnati
Southern, entirely independent of
the Louisville and Nashville COM
bination.
The officers of the Chicago, st.
Louis and New Orleans and the
Cincinnati Southern are engaged in
considering the project, and the
prospects are that the extensions
will be made. If il is done it will
be serious blow to the Louisville
and Nashville combination, and
/ Chicago and Cincinnati will have
good reason to rejoice.

YESTERDAY morning we published
in our telegraphic columns dis
patch, the substance of which has
become wearisomely common here
of late, We refer to the reported
withdrawal of Tilden. AS lis usual
somebody has been informed by a
democrat high in council that
some other democrat informed him
that Tilden has written letter de-
dining to be a candidate. Just
about as much reliance can be placed
in this as could be in news that
John Savage had turned honest or
his followers respectable, or that
the devil had reformed. 1t is en-
tirely contrary to Tilden's character
for him to withdraw from anything,
whether it be wrecking a railroad,
or ciphering to steal state, orper-
juring himself about his income, 50
long as he has the ghost Of chance
for success. Tilden is|'in the race
and will be until the last ballot at
Cincinnati, and most probably until
that disastrous day in November
when the revolutionary democratic
party is relegated to that humble
position in life which it is 50 well
qualified to adorn. 81

The Memphis Appeal, in its issue
of the 18th inst.,. eulogizes Gen,
Grant in the following lavish terms:
The people Of Memphis will greet
Gen. Grant to-day with a generous
and manly welcome. They will
recognize In him the great leader of
the northern people during the civil
war, the man whom that people de-.
light TO honor as their hero. They
will greet him a. the soldier whose
magnsnimity twice prevented the
humiliation Of our greatest soldier
our hero, the immortal Lee. They
will greet him IS the soldier who
refused to make scene OF the
surrender at Appomatox, and whose
,thoughtfulness and generosity pre-
served TO our officers their swords
and to our men the mules and horsts
with which to begin the lahors of civil
life after four years of bloody, fruit
less strife. They will greet him as
-tAe soldier who interposed to save our
brave confederate soldiers from the
ilarrassments and annoyanees and the
degradations. that radical maiignaBcy
had prepared for them as the finale OF
petty vengeance. They will greet
him as the idolized leader of-th"
millions who from every part 81
the northern and western stat,
of the usion sent us IN the
years of plague an unstiDted
help In money and men aud women,
accompanied by tender and Chris
tian sOlicitude for our sick and dying.
He is their representative, the man
whom above all Others they delight to
honor. For this, putting away the
record of the party whose instrument,
possibly against his better nature, he
became, the people of Memphis viii
take him cordially by the hand. They
will recall the traits of character
whose r1oet prominent faults, even
from our extreme point of view, lie at
the door of his good nature, his love Of
friends, his devotion 70 those who at
any time, especially In his hours Of
need have kindly served him"
