Col. c. W. Falkner, the gifted son
Of Mississippi and Of Tennessee-for
he was born at Knoxville-whoss
White Rose of Memphis" had such
an extensive circulation North and
South, has written another book, THE
Little Brick Church" 1t is a neat
volume Of 429 pages, issued by Lippin-
colt, and in literary sense is far
superior to his last book. The scene
is laid upon the banks Of the Hudson,
and the story goes back to the days Of
the Revolution. The style is very
attractive, realistic and terse. The
book will no doubt have general
circulation. 1t is creditable to the
pen Of the gifted author and to. the
literature of the day. .<f,

IHE LEDGER Is not so lonesome in
its position on the State debt question
and collateral issues as it was few
years ago. Almost alone for a long
time, it now sees large majority Of
papers and the Democratic people of
the State occupy a position approx
mately the same as that taken by this
paper nearly ten years ago. This is a
matter of great satisfaction, and it is
an Endorsement worth far more than
any temporary success that might have
been gained by plunging into what
seemed to be the popular current.
We sought what was reasonable, right
and practicable, and in doing SO were
governed only by the sense of duty to
the public and fairness which should
be the handspring Of every paper. 1t
was not necessary to quarrel with those
who honesty differed with us on this
question. We occupied high, safe
middle ground, to which both ex-
tremes were bound to come, and could
afford to wait. The day has come,
the hope, is. realized, and the Demo
cratic party Of the State is reunited
and will march up to victory next
November. After that the debt will
be settled just about ten years
from the time the LEDGER began
to discuss this question, and very
much in accordance with the general
line then pointed out. But for mis-.
understanding, Misrepresentation BY
unworthy leaders and the manip.
ulatiOns of powerful rings, proper
settlement could have been arrived al
FIVE years ago. When the people are
aroused, the rings and self-constituted
leaders are impotent for evil as they
are incapable of good. This was fully
demonstrated at the late convention
The voice of the masses prevailed
and men who could on former occa.
sions have secured the floor by a mo.
ton Of the fOrefnger at the chairman
found that they could not even handle
hopeless little minority. The plat,
form adopted appeals to the sense Of
justice and the intelligence of Teunes
seeans and of the world. The few
who may bolt from it will be cred.
tied with other motives than the
maintenance Of public credit or the
success of the Democratic party. Oh
course, much of this talk about a bolt
comes from men who are at heart
Democrats, and after little reflection
aud cooling off they will support the
ticket heartily. A few who desire to
play into the hands of Butler and
Hawkins will persevere in that direc
ton. The Democratic party is strong
enough to spare them, and can afford
to lose a few votes to find them out.
The outlook is all that could be ex-
pected or desiied. By an earnest
determination and a pull altogether
we can elect General Bate by an over
whelming majority. Then will follow
the reelection of Senator Harris and
the final and satisfactory settlement Of
the Vexed State debt question. To
these ends all true Democrats will
work.

LONDON, June N.-Two hundred

obtained against small tenants on

DUBLIN, June ga man has been

on suspicion Of being the driver Of the
ear which conveyed the assassins of
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Under
Secretary Burke to Phoenix Park.
LONDON, June N.-The Times says:
I'm view of information We have re-
ceived from various quarters, we can
not doubt that preparations for the
protection of the Suez Canal are ma
turing on a considerable scale. We
have reason to believe that the first
army corps and a considerable part Of
the second are at their full strength,
and should it become necessary to
strike a sudden blow, there will be no
difficulty in dispatching twenty thou
sand men to Egypt in few days"

NEXT Sunday will be tie first ami
versary Of the ASA ssination of Presi-
dent Garfield. On Friday the miser-
able assassin will say his adieus and
invite the public to meet him in the
realms Of glory. He will then have
lived three hundred and sixty three
days too long. His execution by q
mob on the day the crime was com
mitted would have been more in
accordance with the fitness
OF things and more creditable to
American character at home and
abroad than the farcical trial which
brought our Judiciary into disrepute
in the eyes of the world, and the long
lease of life granted the braEen-faced
assassin. Two very creditRble efforts
were made to take the cowardly wretch
off-one by man named Jones, and
the other by Sergeant Mason. These
men acted outside of the law, it is
true, but they merely expressed
and attempted to carry into
effect the feelingg that pre-
vailed sll over the land. Mason Ian
cuisines in the peniteptiary at Albany.
Technically he is guilty Of violating
the law, morally he is not. It is q
shame that Gqiteau is alive to day,
while Garfield died = lingering death
many months ago, and Sergeant Mason
is locked up 10 o States prison.

The programme is a good one, will
