.Free WHISKY and No sunday.

As the Eflqltfrer well remarks, Senator
Hollingsworth done himself no credit in
his remarks as temporary chairman of
the Republican State Convention. We
are surprised that Hollingsworth made
such spectacle of himself, and can
hardly persuade ourselves that he was
not over-persuaded by some narrow
minded bigot to such a course against his
better Judgment. But the Convention
did not work up the keynote. The Dem
ocrats in the Legislature opposed the
Pond bill for the reason that it was con-
trary to the State Constitution, and any
condemnation of them for this reason, is
condemning the Constitution of the State
and the Supreme Court, which decided
the law unconstitutional. 1t is no credit
to the Legislature to enact unconstitu-
tional laws. It is rather evidence of
their incapacity as legislators. They
would perhaps do better as shoemakers,
or some honorable calling which they
understand better.
But, in the light of recent events free
whisky and no Sunday" has some sig
nificance in reference to the Republican,
party.
The funeral of President Garfield was
Ou DuuQdy, duO tHO SAACA Va thO AZ
publican Congressman who attended
that Funeral was so great that they con-
sumed over 81, 600 worth Of free whisky
and cigars-free to them, but paid by
the taxes of the people.
The President, Cabinet, and prominent
Republicans attended the Yorktown
Centennial ON the 10Th of October last.
The Sunday they were there was spent in
drunken orgies and, on that occasion, it
was not only free whisky, but no Sum
day! Last Friday the Republican House
of Representative made an appropriation
to foot the bill out of the money taken
from the people in taxes. The Republi-
cans tried to smother the items, but
thanks to Mr.. Cobb,of Indiana, smoked
them out. Here is the bill. How do the
people like the Free Whisky and No
Sunday of the Republican Administra-
tion? Read the items of the bill:

The charges OF tnaccuracy and recklessness

public against the census were begun Immediately
after the passage or the law, and they have been
kept up There were certain parties who imagined
That they possessed about all the knowledge ex-
tant In regard 10 census matters but Congress
took different view. and, rejecting the measures
OF these Imaginary experts, adopted a law OF its
own Training. The next disappointment to the
chGue who had undertaken TO control the census
was In the appointment OF General Walker as
superintendent That clique had man selected
for the position During the progress of the work
Charges similar TO those now made were put forth

The Last of Earth.

A large ooncourse of relatives,
friends and acquaintance Of the late
James Speed assembled at the st.
Peters Catholic church, Adams street,
this forenoon to pay the last solemn
tribute to his memory and attend the
requiem mass chanted for the
repose of his soul. The nave
Of the sacred ediice was nearly
full of m%ourners, and the ceremonies
by the Rev. Father Fortune, together
with the musical services by a full
choir, were exceedingly impressive,
lasting until the hour of noon, after
which the cortege formed in front Of
the church and proceeded to Calvary
Cemetery, some two miles from the
city where the remains Of the la
mented deceased we're inferred. A
notable feature Of the remembrances
was a wealth of flowers bestowed by
the living friends OF the departed gen
tleman, and embracing almost every
conceivable design. The pall-bearers
for the occasion were ten in num-
Der and included General Cotton
Greene, Judge L. B. Horrigan, Major
W. H. Rhea, Captain Ad Storm, Mr..
Sid B. Jones, Mr.. J. P. Doyle, Mr..
Barney Hughes, Mr.. j. Fowlkes, s.
s. Parker and G. P. Atmore.
The ticket Office Of the railway
represented by Mr.. Speed for the past
fourteen years was closed to-day, aud
the habiliments of mourning were
draped about its doorway, while
the same emblems Of sadness
we're hung about all Of
the railway agency Offices in the
city. Thus the inanimate form Of all
that was earthly Of our late fellow
citizen, Mr.. James Speed, was
shrouded forever in the impenetrable
gloom Of the grave. His noble spirit,
which left its frail tenement of clay
last Friday afternoon, scars far away
in the land where perennial flowers
bloom and emit fragrance, and where
lovely songs never cease. May his
soul rest in peace forever and forever.

LUNA oPkiN0s, MISS July 20, 81.
EDITOR LEDGER:-I have lust fin
ished my trip from Memphis to
Huntsville, Ala, stopping at every
town on the road. From Memphis to
Corinth the crops are fine. Fruits
and vegetables are in abundance.
The cotton is very small and not more
than half a stand, which casts a
gloomy feeling over all merchants
who have done a large supply bust
ness. From Corinth to Huntsville
the crops, both cotton and corn, are
fine, and the people are all cheerful
and happy.
If we had a freight agent that took
as much interest in Memphis and her
welfare as he does in Nashville, New
York, Cincinnati and louisville,
Memphis could and would do a large
business in North Alabama this fall;
but giving the above named cities the
advantage in freights leaves Memphis
out. Freights from New York to
Huntsville are 45 cents, and from
Memphis, 10 and 80 cents. Nashville
ships a carload of salt to Huntsville
for 1872, and the Nashville Office gives
the purchaser a rebate of $40. Mem
phis ships at $32, and her rebate, when,
she asks for it, is a very cold and
unsatisfactory reply. If the Memphis
merchants can't get better rates of
freight, they would save money BY
taking those agents off Of the road.
This way OF moving freight a thous-
and miles cheaper than they will one
hundred miles, is wrong and ought not
to be tolerated by the people. 1t will
only be a question of time when the
cities of the South will dry up, and
New York, Cincinnati and Chicago
will be known as our travelling points.
flour people don't rise in mass.
On my last trip through the Second
Congressional District of Mississippi
| find Van H. Manning to be the
strongest man in our party and I
think one of the ablest men in the
State. l find a few soreheads in Ok
lord, Sardis and Ripley who prefer
Morgan, who doubtless is Manning's
equal on any other occasion but this
one. II our people would think less of
rotation, our places in Congress would
be more ably filed than they are. If
Manning is defeated, good by North
Mississippi. He is the only man in
my opinion in the State that can be
elected wei Chalmers.
