THE American Of yesterday makes
the following very intelligent and cor
rect comments upon Memphis affairs:
The decision of thesupreme court Of
the United States in the Memphis
case shows very clearly the conserva-
tive character Of that court Courts
a. sometimes legislate just lit lie,
on,1 az power, influence, intelligence, all
tbe strongest forces that can exert
Iva Sa,U Influence, have steadily urged
tbc Vic co,,rt to decision to give cred
;tors an opportunity to collect their
Jebts froI defauiHng city govern
rnents We do not mean that the
courts we're ever approached of argued
with but they could moi, have llYed
and reao newspapers without being
subjected to the pressure in favor OF
ore3;tors and aeainst reputation in
ali formf The court has adhered
closely to the law as il 10 and lett the
creditors, so far as we caa see from tne
telepraphic synopsis, absolutely with
ont legal recourse. II is the business
# the court to declare what the law is,
not TO make laws. BY this DE,
c;s;op they simply announce that II
nn,v ls law, are needed for the Securty
ns cred;to,'s the laSrmaking power
must m nroyide them. This decision
leaves the city OF Memphis, 50 far as
we can see. able to deal with her
creditors as she will, A commercial
c;ty will hardly fail 20 deal justly, and
instiee means equity to 10th the city
and the creditors. The city OF Mem
nhis is not like the state, able 10 pay;
I. IS bankrupt and entitled to a yefy
iors.e reduction on the ground of abso-
jnte inability to meet its obligations.
The city is not able to pay very
much at once, in addition to current
expepses and a continuance of the
necessary sanitary reforms so forum
ately inauguraled. But tho prevalent
=. sentiment here is against repadlstlon'
The validity of the debt isnot at issae
we merely set up Che equities of the
caso and propose 20 do Nhat is right

CAUSES OF DEFEAT.
Personnel and characteristics of
Modern Democracy.

Washington correspondent of the
Courier journal, by IAN Old Fogy."
Things are not as they used to
was" In the days Of Aud Lang
Syne, when the democratic drum was
tapped every democrat sprang to his
feet and was ready to cast his vote
One majority wasas good as hundred.
The man who kicked out of the traces
was kicked out of the party. There
was no milk and cider fellows then.
All were democrats or they were not,
and their democracy was measured by
their fidelity to the organization and
its principles. They stood shoulder
to shoulder against their political enc
mics. They never opened the food
gates Of slander against their leaders
If their candidate for president had
been cheated out of his election, they
would have rallied around him to a
man, and rebuked the wrong in due
time. Never, fear, will the party be
so united again. The truth is
that the democratic party of
the present day in its personnel,
and in many other respects, has un
lergone a great change. AS to the
republican party, it is not related in
the most remote degree to the old
whig party. The latter was very con-
servative and the former is radical to
the backbone The slavery question
first, then the war, and the hostile
legislation of the republicans since its
close have thrown the great body Of
southern wings into the democratic
party. Transfer them to the other
side and | doubt whether there is one
of the old slave states that could be
carried by the democrats. On the
other hand, go north, east and west,
and take all the old democrats out Of
the republican party, what effect
would it have on that organization?
| think it would about wind it up.

cans in the senate Of the United

cratic senators were old wings. Who
wants any better evidence than this

IT is given out by the New York
Evening Post that the policy of Jay
Gould will be to put the Iron Noun
tain railroad in frst-class condition,
laying steel rails as soon as possible; to
introduce liberal policy with other
roads; to build rapidly some short
feeders in Arkansas; to improve the
Memphis and Little Rock road, which
is owned by Mr.. Marquand, and to put
an end to commissions Of all sorts, and
to reach the City of Mexico as
soon as possible. This means, we
hone that the main trunk will not dis
eriminate against Memphis, and that
even without the projected road to
Jefferson, our merchants will have
some chance at the trade Of south
western Arkansas and Texas. Here
tofore the Iron Mountain has been run
entirely in the interest of st. Louis
Jay Gould can haveno particular local
preference, and will be likely to give
every part Of the vast system he con-
trolls an equal show in proportion to it'
importance and business.

BALTIMORE, December 16.-In the
court of common pleas, this morning,
the jury gave a verdict for S67 900 in
favor of A. B. Patterson, of this city,
against H. Y. Attrill. The plaintiff
was employed by the defendant, in '73,
to negotiate a compromise or settle
ment between the Crescent City gas
company and the New Orleans gas
company, of New Orleans. Negotia-
tions, after an agreement on the part
Of Attrill to accept $5OO,OOO failed,
and at the suggestion of Patterson,
suit was instituted against the New
Orleans gas company, and Attrill re-
covered verdict for over million of
dollars. Patterson was to have S50,-
600 for his services; failing to receive
which, he instituted suit. The
amount awarded covers the original
claim, with interest. Mr.. Patterson
is one Of the judges of the appeal tax
court of this city.

The South and the Supreme
Court.

New York Herald.l
Nothing is further from our mind
than to be tempted by the Evening
Mail to nominate candidates for the
supreme court of the United States
But nothing could be more unjust
than for the Mail to intimate, as il
does in reply to the Herald, that the
south lacks in men who would honor
and strengthen the bench. "a South.
ern Lawyer answers that point fully
in letter we print elsewhere.
The spirit which animates the
Mails comment is the spirit which
has governed all appointments to the
supreme bench since the war-namely.
that southern men who took part in
the war should be excluded from the
bench. AS a consequence, the bench
has become partisan and sectional
This is violation Of the intent Of
the constitution and of the principles
upon which the court was constructed
Il is difficult to find men in the
0OuAh ~ W ~ Ou Allt
bench who did not take sides will
the southern confederacy. That
might have been bar when the war
was ending and war questions were
coming up. Now all such question,
have been settled by the amendments
to the constitution, and there is no
reason why the south should not have
a judge who represents its people and
has their confidence.
There will be, it is believed, loul
vacancies on the supreme bench. The
Herald thinks that one of these should
go to the south-to Virginia, or Ala
bama, or Texas. Ohio has two repre-
sentatives. Justice Swayne is among
the four who proposes to retire. and it
is said that Stanley Matthews will sue
ceed him. His nomination is not be
cause of his legal attainments, but to
smooth out local political complica-
tions in Ohio.
