The result Of the suit against Mem
phis and the establishment Of the LA
bility of the new city government for
the debts ofthe old corporation, will
surprise no one. At the time Of the
passage of the new charter, as the
court held the law creating the gov
eminent, we predicted such a result.
The court cannot consider the condi-
ton of the city or 60 beyond the law.
1t is clear to every one who knows
anything about the subject that Mem
phis is not able to meet
her debts. Unlike the state
Of Tennessee, which could if h,r
people would, meet all her engage
ments, Memphis is financially bank
rupt. Under the new government,
relieved of debts she cannot pay, her
condition was improved, and there is
every prospect before the city OF a
splendid future. Even with this de-
cision. rendering her again liable to
vexatious suits, we believe the city is
better of and better able to bear them
than under the old government. 1t
has been an experiment in a new form
Of city government, which be believe
has been successful, and will prove so
with the entire old debt brought up
against the city.
II is clear that the city Of Memphis
is in q condition, however, where the
utmost forbearance of her creditors is
demanded as a matter OF policy as well
as Of justice. With what we believe
70 be a better city government than
she ever had before, we believe Mem
phis will be able to carry her debt
even under this decision with greater
ease than under the old system. The
effect OF this decision on other cities
must not be lost sight OF. While we
believe, nay, we know, that Memphis
was in a position where she was justi.
fed IN extraordinary means TO secure
relief from a debt she could not pay
or stagger under as she was under the
old system, yetthe success would have
had tremendous consequences in the
effect Of her example on other cities

this time for the presidential nomina-
ton is Thomas L. Bayard, of Della
ware. He is the deliberate choice of
the people of the south, and, if they
will send to the Cincinnati %couven-
ton earnest. faithful friends.
MIR. Bayard can and will be nomi-
mated. When be is nominated a cam
paign fund will be raised equal to any
honest and necessary expenditure.
Mr.. Bayard has no "bar'l,'' and he
has no need of any. He can tap the
purses ofthousands ofpatriotic friends,
who, in contributing to his success,
will feel that they are paying a debt to
the country. We can assure the
hesitating brethren at the south that
there will be earnest hearts and will
ing hands at the front in his support.
His candidacy will be a redeeming
grace to sponge out many Of the follies
and errors of the democratic leaders
in the past decade.

would have destroyed an immense
capital TO the great injury Of the
country. 1t would have been better,
perhaps, if the question could have
gone for decision to the supreme court
Of the United States, that a final end
might have been made of it. What
ever the object and however the law
may stand as a bar to the particular
object in view, it is fortunate that a
fair trial has been given to this new
form of city government, which, with
notifications and amendments, may
prove a step towards the solution of
that great problem of the age.

Gen. DibreII Makes a Point.

Philadelphia Record, 15.l
Representative Dibrell made a good
point during the consideration of the
legislative appropriation bill, yester-
day, in his suggestion that the inter-
nal revenue officials were dispropor-
tionately active in ferreting out the
pettyillicit producers ofwhisk known
as moonshiners, and in looking after
the small distillers generally, whose
transactions but slightly effect the
revenue; while the really important
whisky frauds, perpetuated on a large
scale in cities like st. Louis and Chi
cago, have very little attention paid
them. 1t is proper that tho laws
should be enforced, and that vigor-
ously and promptly; but there is grave
doubt of the wisdom or fairness of
keeping up a special crusade against
a set ofpoverty stricken mountaineers
down south, who make a crude kind
of liquor by primitive process out of
their surplus corn, in quantity hardly
sufficient for their own consumption.

THIS is the day, May 10, of the
great Illinois convention, which will
have such an important bearing in its
results, upon the candidacy of Gen.
Grant, and upon the Chicago conven-
ton. If the delegation chosen at
Springfield to-day, should be seriously
divided, it will be the end Of Grant
as a candidate. The chances are that
the convention will be almost solid
for Grant. The latest estimate Of
strength we have seen, appears to be
in Blaine's interest. 1t is as follows:
Grant, 27S; Blaine, 235; Sherman, 81;
Edmunds, 36; Washburne, II. There
are los more delegates to be chosen.
Grant needs about 100 of these to be
sure Of nomination. The chances
are still in his favor.

We are glad to learn that Mr.. r. G.
Daniel, of Memphis, Tenn, who for
more than two weeks has been confn-

the Gilmer hotel, is much better and
is on the way to recovery. A strong con-

tentions of his physician, DR.. Mat

Mr.. Daniel and restoring him to his
relatives and friends. This informa-

many friends in Memphis and west
