A2&>1 y ~sAs s0SA..ss@s
Christmas bells are ringing merrily this
morning all over the land. In nearly
every household there IL a happy family.
There Is something to cheer the heart even
where sickness and penury prevail.-some
attempt It alleviation Of the ills of life by
kind neighbors and friends and renewal
Of hope that the fnture may he better than
the past.
What joyful time there is this morn
ing as the stockings are taken down from
the places where they were hung last
evening and their treasures are divulged
to the eager and expectant eyes Of the
children. Scarcely less is the pleasure of
the more elderly part Of the family at the
presents which come upon them as sur
prise. There may be very much in the
way Christmas gifts come to arouse the
best feelings. The mysterious coming Of
Santa Claus heightens the pleasure which
the toys he brings afford the receiver.
The unexpected token of good will comes
like benson to the individual who gets
it. The triHe bestowed by the hand of
poverty and destitution, through pains-tak-
ing and sacrifice, is more precious than
jewels or gold. But however the favors
of the season come. and whether of great
or small pecuniary value, they sweeten
life because they speak Of kind remem-
brance and appreciation. and are bond
Of future friendship.
Of course it is impossible that even
Christmas should be without its dark
shadows. Death never stays the sweep
Of his remorseless scythe. The old and
the young, the grey-head, the darling
child. the lovely youth, the strong man,
have been laid in the silent grave during
the year, and fond hearts will mourn
their loss though Christmas bells ring
never 50 msrrily. Then the broken hearts,
the devotees Of vice and dissipation, the
homes where discord and even brutality
reign, the lawless and dissolute, these
and such as these. still exist. even though
the world around is all happiness. So
Christmas does not smile upon all alike.
There are baleful fires of passion which it
cannot quench. griefs which it cannot as
suage. miseries which will continue in
spite OF the redeeming influence of the
day; but let US hope and trust that through
the mission of Him whose birth we this
day celebrate, the world is becoming bet
ter, humanity is flowing in broader and
deeper stream. the steps which lead to the
better life are being brought nearer the hu-
man family. and mankind are appreciat-
ing more and more the deep significance
Of that angel anthem which ushered in
the great event over which all Christen-
dom to-day reiOicas

And the Name Of the Father is
GIL.


Mr.. G. w. Gill has came forward
to claim the honor of getting up that
disreputable production which ap-
peared over the respectable name of
Southern Democrat" He withdraws
the yellow fever paragraph, perhaps
for future use, but glories in the rest
of it, and confidently awaits the ap
plause of the future 50 docs George
Francis Train, and he will have
good time waiting. The Az
alanche accepted the communication
on the ability and responsibility of
Mr.. Krekel, but would not have ac-
cepted it at the hands of Mr.. Gill.
The gentleman is not a stranger to the
Avalanche people. He has written
for the papers before, and at great
length. But it seems that he pre-
ferred sending in this last effusion bv
another party. Krekel will not carry
any more communications for Gill,
and we presume the Avalanche
Will never, never publish another
anonymous communication without
first comparing it with specimen of
Col. ellis chirography on the wall.
Mr.. Krekel is highly esteemed gen
tleman and republican, but one of
the better class. His connection with
the affair, he says, was accidental
and without malice or thought
OF the wrong that might be done
His explanation will, doubtless,
be satisfactory to all his friends
and the public. Mr.. Krekel was a
sort of dark horse candidate for
sheriff at the late republican conven-
ton, but it was understood that he
would not run if there was a negro on
the ticket. This report got out
among the cOlored brethren, and the
inquiry wentaround, "Who is dis man
Quickly anyhow" "Why, he is dc
fellow what won't run on a ticket
wid no colored gem man." explained
one Of them. THE dam cuss "
groaned half a dozen, and that settled
his case. Col. Gill was a national
two years ago, but has gone back
to the bosom Of the republican party
where he belongs. He ia welcome to
the laurols he claims, although no one
familiar with his verbose, illiterate
style, believes that he wrote thearticle
inquestion or his card of this morn
ing. The real writer is still in the
grass; but let Gill wait for future ap-
plause."

and seven-tenths. Notwithstanding
these undisputed facts, the i'm.
preston prevails abroad that yellow
fever actually exists here. If such
were the case, its successful conceal.
ment implies the cOllusion of all the
inhabitants and thousands of visitors
as well as of the officials of the
national and state boards of health
That these can all be engaged in such
a stupendous conspiracy is simnly
incredltable. Your correspondent
has recently, however, discovered a
clue to the source of some of the
malicious reports.
The republican candidate for sher-
III OF this county, Ed Shaw, is a negro
OF notoriously bad reputation, and il
IS asserted in well-informed circles
that ne and his pals are working to
create a yellow fever stampede, which
Will drive away voters before the
election. An obscure doctor is said
to have been bought up, and ON
Sunday last this man told telegraph
operator that he had attended two
cases OF yellow fever. The operator re-
ported the matter to the health au-
thorities instead of .stelegraphing it
away, as it was apparently hoped he
would, do; The doctor was called
upon for the facts, and attempted to
deny making the statement. The
operator made him acknowledge that
ne had made the statement, and thus
was crushed what might have brought
about the desired results in the in
terest of the radical leaders.

The Quarantine.

EDITOR LEDGER: Whatever strict
ures may have been urged against the
action of our state board of health
upon former occasions, there is, in nv
opinion, but one idea among our citi-
zens as to their action in promptly
quarantining against New Orleans, as
announced this morning, and that is,
unreseryed gratitude.
Now let their dictum be rigidly en-
forced; let there be no relaxation in
vigilance, for there lies our only dan
ger. If the local authorities at New
Orleans show by their actions that
they have been remiss in their duties
let us not hesitate in showing that we
are wide awake and do not propose
by any Indifference on our part to
further imperil the prosperity of our
city, nor the life of single one of our
citizens.
Our safety is in our own hands and
will be assured beyond doubt if we
are earnest in this matter. E.G.

THE EXECUTIVE COMNITTEE,

The democrats Of Shelby county
have been particularly fortunate in
the selection of an executive com
mittee. 1t is composed of the very
best class Of citizens, men of standing,
force of character and influence.
Front Row merchants, lawyers, mag
istrates, farmers, all have entered
upon their work with an earnest pur-
pose to re-organize the party and lead
it to victory. They leave their bust
ness to attend the meetings and mani
fest zeal that is most commendable
and encouraging. Under their direc
tion or suggestion clubs have been
organized in various wards, census is
to be taken of the voting population
as is done in northern states, and every
necessary measure will be adopted to
bring out the full strength of the
party. The committee has gone to
work in a systematic business-like
manner, and is heartily sustained in
its efforts. There has been no lack of
funds to pay necessary expenses, the
people responding promptly to the
calls of the finance committee. We
have never seen a better committee
or better prospect of success. The
election occurs Thursday, August 9th
just three weeks from to-day. From
now on let us continue the work of
organization and enrolling every
available man. BY bringing out full
vote we can elect every man on our
ticket by handsome majority. Let
every man do his duty, as well as the
members of the executive committee,
and the Shaw ticket will be over
whelmingly defeated.

OBITUARY.

In the city of Memphis, on the morning of
the 10th of July, Mrs, NJ. S. CLARK, aged "A
years, passed away from time to eternity.
Her lingering and complicated malady was
borno with fortitude and resignation to the
will Of her God. She had learned to lsok
after the issues Of the heart, out of which is
life eterna', SO when death finally came it had
no terrors, but keen regrets to leave devo-
ted, model husband and loving family cir
clel The deceased was gifted with an excel
lent mind and disposition, winning heart.
Captured by her magic fascination to the
stricken husband and mother. no earthly
balm can be administered to their lacerated
heArts This last link is now Iovered that
bound him to earth; yes, BY the mysterious
will Of his maker. But remember, "Wkom
the Lord loyeth, he cha,ter.th." E.C.G G.

WORKROUsE WAR
Renewed Once MOre-What is to
be the Result This Time
The Old, Old Story.

The statement made by the city
convict Devine, resulting in several
warrants being sworn out against
Island workhouse guards, has caused
considerable noise. That, together
with Southern Democrat" are
almost too much for Memphis com
munity. Judge Horrigan has already
had the county cOnvicts returned to
the Jail until the affair can be inves.
tigated, and before Acting Recorder
OVerton this morning motion was
made by Esquire P. M. Winters that
all the city convicts be returned to
the station house pending the inves-
tigation by the criminal court. Judge
0verton at once issued an order to
Chief of Police Athy to that effect,
the order being handed to Ser
geants Kuhnholz and Hackett, who
were instructed to carry it out this
evening. Esquire Winters is on record
as having made minority report three
years ago to the county court, of
which he is a member, urging the
abolition of the island work house,
and his prompt action in the present
instance is much applauded. The
late trouble all grew out of a state
ment made by John Devine, who, on
the 23d of June, was sent to the
island for twenty days on charge of
drunk. He states that be was terribly
bruised up because he could not work
as fast as regular field hand, and
that more than once. Mr.. A. B. Fos.
ter, bookkeeper for the workhousc,
says that the guard who beat Devine
was discharged for it, but taken back
again on promise of good behavior,
and that the OHense was committed
about a week ago.
The whole affair is to be fully and
freely ventilated and investigated, but
The world il may come,
And the world it may 60.
But nothing'I more certain
Than tho island below.

Gen. TrevinO Comes After His
American Bride,
peciaI to St. Louis Republican.l

special 10 ot. Louis Republican,.
DALLAS, July 6.-General Trevino
with several members of his staff
arrived in San Antonio Monday night,
having come direct from Piedras
Negras, Mexico. His mission is one
of peace, not war. He has capitu-
lated, and comes to yield his hand
and heart to Miss BERTHE Ord, daugh-
ter OF General Ord, U. S, A. When
the marriage is to occur has not vet
transpired, but it is supposed it will
be consummated at very early date,
as General Ord is just back from Chi
cago and the east, and it is presumed
he came back for that purpose. This
marriage has been Indignantly denied
by friends ofall, especially members
OF the army. Miss Ord speaks Spanish,
but the general knows but little of the
English language. The general is
about forty years old, rather dark, of
medium height, commanding in an
pearance and graceful. He is a wild
over, having been married when very
young, and has daughter in Europe
at school now. He is one of the high.
est officers in the Mexican army, and
commands the department of the west,
which contains the state of Coahuila.
which borders on the territory of the
United States under command of Gen
eral Ord, Under these circumstances
it is that such a friendship has sprung
up between the two generals, who will
hereafter bear even closer relations
each to the other.
