CASEY YOUNG will make his first speech
during this canvass TO the people of Mem.
phis TO night at the Greenlaw OperAhouse,
where he will divide time with Judge w. NJ.
Smith, the Republican candidate for Cong ress
Col. Young will pay special attention to some
charges that have been made of neglect by
him of the commercial interests OF Mem is
while serving in Congress from this district
He will, if our memory of those services is
correct, be able TO disprovs these charges
from the Congressional Record. No man
could be more devoted to the interests Of
his constituents than he was, and Eot one
of all his Contemporaries in the House was
more persistent or consisten ut in pressing upon
the attention OF Congress the claims of his
eonsIit uency for consideration. The custom
house, the Marine Hospital, the National
Board of Health, ard several appropria-
tious for the improvement of the harbor,
attest his indefatis ability in behalf Of Mem
phis. And these are not half Of what he se-
cured for us. Besides this Col. Young was
an ardent supporter OF every measure
offered by his fellow members from
Tennessee, or from the South, iu be-
half Of IL cir constii iiuenis, and he never
failed to stand by his party in every emergen-
cy sprung by the Republicans during the
three terms he served. We challenge sue
cessful contradiction of the statement that he
was industrious and faithful in the interests
of his constituents, that he was true 10 his
party and to his pledges to .he peo-
pie, and that he never failed 10 accom-
plish Whatever fell within his power
for the PEOPLE of Memphis, of Tennes-
see, and of the South. But Col. Young
will speak tonight for himself, and we have
reason to believe will satisfy the commercial
men and manufacturers of the city especi-
ally that lie il entitled TO their confidence
and respect, aud deserves their votes and
reelection as a vindication OF a career that
is clean, clear and clever. We hope he will
have a full house. All he asks is fair
Geld and no favors.

An Edftor,a Platform.

NEW YORK, October 9-Howard Carroll,
OF the New York Times, who has been men,
toned for the Office of congressna at-large
on the Republican ticket, in place of Hep
burn, declined, writes the following csrd:
1t has been stated in a prominent newspaper of
this city that the suggestion OF my name a can
didate for -at-large is prompted by tie
belief that such nomination on the part of the Re
contribution of money to be used in the pending
canvass. have no reason to believe that there Is
any foundation in fact for this statement: sttll,
that there may be no possibility of mistake, and
in simple fairness to the gentlemen who have the
matter in control take this public way of saying
from careful observation and somewhat
intimate acquaintance with the inner work
ings OF both great political parties, !
am convinced that the one greatest curse
OF our political system is the corrupt of
money and patronage in elections. Were nomi-
cause to be paid one dollar to secure election.
Further than this. may say that believing the
work OF ottiee-seeking, place brokerage and posi-
ton peddling to be no part OF the duty of a mem
lively to take any part I'm the general scramble for
places in the departments an occupation which
can only be engaged in by neglecting legitimate
and necessary work in the House at the sacrifice of
selfrespeet and 70 the serious detriment and dis
grace OF the public service. In short could only
standing that, in addition to earnestly and sin
ceIely subscribing TO all the ume-honored princi-
pies of my party, should enter the canvass upon
a clean new platform of honest. progressive and
independent Republicanism. If there be any
gentleman who would vote for my nomination on
HIS action could only result in Disappointment.

Col. Patterson was especially clear in Ehat

of all exlraneous and confusing matter snd
shed the light of his own clear understanding
upon it, making it 80 plain that the

PeliiicaI RevoIasion ia Texas.

ST. LOUIS, October 9-Advices from Texas
indicate that political revolution is going
on in the Seventh and Tenth Congressional
Districts on the question of free trade. The
entire wool-growing interest of Western
Texas is in favor of protection. At a meet
ing OF The wool-growers aud dealers at San
Antonio, on Friday last, it was resolved to
oppose the election of Judge Hancock, the
Democratic candidate for Congress, who is a
free-trsder. A fund of $4,000 was raised to
put first class protection speakers in the field
against Hancock, and the came opposition,
it is said, is likely to occur III the Eighl Ia
District, with fair prospects OF it being car
ried by the Republicans.
