FIRST WARD.
A Meeting of the Democracy with the
Usual Enthusiasm.

A meeting was held last night in the First
wsrj, at which some 800 or 400 Democrats
were present. The speaking was opened by
Col. George CAN'T, who followed closely the
address prepared for him by the APPEALS
representative. Modesty of course forbids
the aforesaid scribe TO publish his own pro-
duction. Otherwise he would take pleasure
in doing 50. Col Casey Young then ad
dressed the crowd briefly and pointedly. Mr..
w. 3. Gibson wss the next speaker. He
spoke in terms of commentator OF the
ailiarce of the white and coIored men. Calls
were II en- made for Col. josiah Patterson,
who made a stirring speech, the tenor of
which was that the government should keep
iis hands of and let the people have show.
Col. CAN'T introduced Col. Patier-
son very happily; he said there was
a good deal Of him, and when he was born
ne ma 50 much noise they thought he was
twins. When Col. Patterson had concluded
Capt. J. Harvey Mathes made pleasant
little speech. He said Bates election was
assured, and Col. Young's election was as-
sured. He said Col. Young had done more in
the way of true and practical statesm suship
than any congressman ever cent by Shelby
county TO Washington. Inasmuch as Shelby
county had shaped the Bale platform, he
wanted to see her people rally 10 the Demo
cratic ticket and elect it. He spoke feel
iugly and touchingly of Gen. Bale, of his
devotion to his friends, bIs fidelity 10 his
convictions, and as a man who would always
fgh the battles of the people.

One OF the subjects Of interest 10 business
men that will come before Congress at its
next session is that of bankrupt law. All
who are engaged in trade should give the
proposed Law earnest attention; every cham
Der OF commerce and trade exchange in the
country should discuss it. Business men,
enlightened by their experience of the last
national bankrupt law, and by experience
which the transactions CT every year impsrt,
know what kind of law is necessary for their
own ssfety when prosperous and their own
protection when unfortunate. This expert
ence should give form and substance 10 the
next bankrupt bill. The principles and de-
tails of that bill should not be the offspring
OF mere theorizing; experience is ample,
and that experience should decide the kind
of legislation Congress should adopt upon
this purely trade matter. Above all things
the details of the next bankrupt law ought
not to be left to lawyers. The late
bankrupt law so faithfully gave the oyster
10 the bankrupt officials, and the shells 10
the unhappy creditors, that lawyers law
ought TO be avoided in everything about the
new bill, only the necessary legal skill to
put into technical form what business men
require should be allowed. Two principal
systems are before Congress for its action
when it meets. Ooe simply RENTS bank
rupt proceedings to the ordinary courts, to
be regulated by the ordinary customs of
such courts; the other minutely provides for
every ordinary contingency. Which system,
II either, the business man of the nation
approve should be plainly laid before Con-
gress when the time for action comes and
before that time there should be reflection,
and discussion, and action, on the part of
business men everywhere.

present discussing order CT the Court in

Henderson remarked that Mr. Cunningham
had not kept faith in some matter connected
with The case. Mr.. Cunningham replied in

SLANDERING THE CONFEDERATES.
The Hon. William NJ. Smith. the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress in this district,
knows that he is doomed to defeat He
knows that several thousand colored men
will vote for Casey YouHg, and he pretends
TO believe that this loss will be made up by

tory gives an account of the malignant old
khan, who, alter staying a warrior who had
long harrassed him, used his hide as a drum

greatness of the triumphant Tar

rebels by disfranchisiug them, denying them

sounding his praise and to promote his aspi-
rations. There is not one single reason why
the Southern people should vote against
Casey Young, Confederate soldier, snd for
Judge Smith, who rejoiced in the shame and
humiliation>he made the Confederate soldier
feel by excluding him from the ballot-box
and placing the State government in the
hands of the vile rif-raff, which had been
left like dirty and malarious sedimentary
deposit upon the sacred soil of Tennessee by
the subsiding waters of civil war. The
effort of Judge Smith 10 dishonor the
memory of our great struggle for in
dependence, and to degrade the ragged
rebels, made the cause and the men far
dearer than when victory perched upon our
banner, now forever furled. The insults
which Judge Smith heaped upon the ragged
warriors and the purest and best men of Ten
nessee, whose crime consisted in being true
to their people and their section, precludes
the possibility of Confederate sympathizar
voting for him. In their adversely the
brave men whose heroic valor added 10 The

the elective franchise in spite of his opposi-
ton and malignity they do not intend to ex-
ercise it TO strike down friend in adversely
TO elevate an enemy in misfortune. Judge
Smith claims the vote of the negroes because
he favored their Acknowledgement. But he
forgets that while enfranchising the blacks
he was for DISTINGUISHING the whites; that
while he favored the rights of all blacks to
vote, he took the ballot from the white men
of Tennessee-the educated, intelligent tax
paying people. He is lucky man, for if he

GNAW,ss F1.n

The disgruntled viper did not gnaw the
traditionary rat-iatl file which it found in the
road with more impotent rage and malice
than the M Malignant Radicals gnaw at the pub
lie reputation of the Hon. Casey Young. TIE
file was impervious TO the fangs of the viper,
and we are gratifed TO know that the polit-
cal record of the Democratic standard-besrer
for Congress ia high above the reach of bis
assailants. There is no incentive for the
faithful discharge Of official duty, when long
and laborious services are requited with the
basest iugratitude. While Col. Young was
in Congress successfully laboring for his
constituents, there was but one opinion
as 10 his ability, his usefulness and
efficiency. The whole district resounded
with his praise. There were then no in
CRATES to disparage his public services. But
party exigenoy requires bis defamation, aud
the man who was extolled only short time
since as the most efficient public servant this
district ever had in the Congress of the
United States is charged with ineficiency,
and even accused of defeating projects in
tended to promote the interests of Memphis
and the people of this congressional district.
The people understand the object OF these
calumnies and they intend to vindicate Col.
Young on Tuesday next, in electing him to
Congress by majority which will show that
they are still just enough to protect public
man unjustly assailed. Two years ago Col.
Young was stronger than his party.
He received more votes than were
cast for the popular and unobjection-
bic Hancock. He ran far ahead Of the
Democratic candidates for governor and the
Legislature, while his competitor for Con-
gress ran correspondingIy behind his party
ticket. 1t was his usefulness and efficiency
as member of Congress that made him
stronger than his party. But all of sudden
it Is discovered and charged that Col. Young
is opposed to the people of this district, and
has voted against their Interestsl Such
fslsehood, such injustice, is shameful; it is
scandalous; it is an outrage on common de-
cency. We do not propose to so into the
history of Young's record and again show,
what has often been shown, how efficiently
and faithfully he has represented this
district in Congress. The people are
familiar with his services. They know that
every bill he has originated, every vote he

the effort 10 give Memphis a library has
so far failed. One reason for this failure il
that the men tried to accomplish it by them

women in this great enterprise. Many with
