HENsY wATTERsoN,s SPEECH.

HENRY WATTERSON,S SPEECH.
Mr.. Watterson, one OF the editors of the
Louisville Courier Journal, made a speech at
Toledo, o., yesterday, in the interest of the
Democratic party, the tone of which will be
sincerely regretted by every man at the South
who knows him. In the course of it he made
a confession that no man who sympaihized
with or participated in the war on the Con-
lederate side ought, under any circumstances,
10 make. That was an event in our history
th at had been shaping itself and accIeting
power from the adoption of the constitution
until the war was inaugurated in Kansas by
the men who carried Henry Ward Beecher's
Bibles and rifles in their hands, 1t was not
brought about, as Mr.. Watterson iniimates,
by the seeding Democrats in 1860; they
were merely the means TO an end, and had no
more personal responsibility for the part they
played than Lincoln or Greeley or Grant
had for the part they played on the Union
side. No self-respeciing man who wss citi-
zen, soldier or sailor of the Coufederacy
ought to make such confession as that
of Mr.. Wstterson, who if he does not
assume to speak for the South is supposed |
10 do so bya great many Northern Demo- |
Gratis and by all of the Republicans of the |
country. The people of the South have no |
apology to make for their part in the civil war |
They went into it for what they believed to |
be The principle of State autonomy and the |
rights of property, and they staked all upon |
the issue. They "lost all save honor" and |
suffered subsequently from the cold-bIooded |
rapacity of Republican legislators, but they |
have never intimaied confession that they |
had "rdised saeriLegious hdndc against the flag |
and The honor Of The country" This is the |
language of the Radicals who dealt out par
dons and forced reconstruction, with all its
deviltries, upon US. They are not the words
that an ex-Confederate should speak, no
matter how humble or irresponsible the DO
sition he occupied during the war. The
people of the South formed government
which, in self-defense, made war against the
Federal government and the Federal Gag, and
lot with sacrilegious, but patriotic hands, and
lot against the honor of the Federal govern
nent but for the honor of the Confederate,
which was the government of their choice,
# their own formation, and in which al

The New York Herald on Thursday pub
lished an elaborate description with dia-
grams, of Mr.. E. ]. Mallett, jr.'s invention
for securing the complete combustion OF fuel
so as to assure the greatest economy and
avoid any use of chimneys or smoke-stacks.
The process has been perfected and ls
shortly 10 be put on trial in the Equitable
Buildings, New York, and on the Erie rail-
road. for which a smokeless engine is being
manufactured. Mr.. Mallett, in the course OF
many years of observation, had noticed that
a regulated supply OF air In an argand lamp
gave perfect combustion without producing
any smoke, and he set about inventing a
furnace which will accomplish the same
thing on a large scale. He by slow burHlng
turns the fuel into inHammsble gas, which
is burned under conditions which secure the
automatic regulation of the exact quantity
of air 10 cause perfect combustion, SO mat
nothing is given of but carbonie acid gas
mixed with little hydrogen, which may be
forced out through any convenient aperture
ro chimney or smoke-stack for the purpose
of creating draught being either necessary
or desirable. The result will be that the
largest furnaces will have no chImneys and
smoke-stacks will disappear from steamers
and LOCOMOTIVES, and manufacturing towns
and cities will be relieved from the smoke
nuisance aud railway travellers from the an
poyance of smoke and cinders. Think OF
Pittsburg and Cincinnati free from smoke,
and one can understand at once what the
new invention means for great mapufactur-
ing centers. OF course manufacturers Will
not adopt the new system for the sake oil
puttipg an end to the discomfort their smoke
now inficts on the public; but it will save
them fifty per cent. of the fuel they now use:
and for that reason they will jump at the
opportunity for their own sakes, and the
public will reap its share of the advantage.
This saving in fuel will not only prove OF
enormous value in curtailing cost, but in the
case of ocean steamers will greatly increase
their freightage capacity by reducing the
amount of coal they must carry one-ha1.
Incidentally there is another advantage
arising from the invention. This Is the
production of large volume Of pure heated
air, which il is proposed to carry from loco
motives to cars for heating purposes, and
from the boilers in manufactures to heat the
buildings. In a few years this great inven-
ton will be generally adopted, much to the
health and comfort of the people.

1t is becoming fashionable in certain
quarters at the North 10 speak hopefully OF
The New South" and "Ths Young South. /"
These fine phrases, says the New Orleans
RicarIne, are intended generally, we believe,
to imply that the people of this section are
turning their backs upon the ideas, the SEN
timents and the public policy which were
distinctive Of Southern civilization in times
gone by. The evidence of the change is
found by patronizing critics in the successful
employment of free labor, the rapid devel-
opment Of material resources and the general
increase of enterprise IN this section. 1t is
intimsted that The Southern people are pass
ing happily through a transition period, that
they are emerging from the darkness OF
semi-feudsl condition, and are gradually ris.
log to the level of Northern light and liberty.
"The New South" in other words, means,
with a great many of these writers, some
thing different from what we are or are likely
to be. Ii Is true bat the future of this section
Is eminently hopeful, aud that the spirit If
progress is rife in all the land of Dixie; but
1t does not follow that the palpable inn
provement IN the general condition of things
heresbouts is to be ascribed to any recent
adoption of the political and social philoso-
ply of the North. As matter of fact, it is
beyond dispute that the industrial and COM
mercisl recuperation of the South did not
begin until after the complete failure of
that scheme of reconstruction, which was in
tended to bring it Immediately under the
influence and control Of Northern men and
stored, and business did not revive until the
negro was practically relegated to his natu-
raj status of political inferiority, and until
that great historical organization, the Demo
cratic party, had become once more ascend
ant in every Southern State.

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH.
HIS CONDITION MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN
GENERALLY SUPPOSED.

HIS CONDITION MUCH NUKE sh-hlOOs IRAN
GENERALLY SUPPOSED.
WASHINGTON, October lit is said that
the condition Of the Presidents health at
the time he first left Washington this sum-
mer was much more serious than supposed.
1t was generally supposed at the time that
the President was more or less exhausted by
overwork and needed rest, and had
slight tinge of malaria, creating need
for medicine as we'll. 1t was gen.
orally understood that he went away
to rest because his physicians desired it, but
very few people suspected that his physicians
here parted from him with the gravest ap-
prehensions as to the probable outcome OF
his case. 1t seems, if the story is to be be-
Iieved, that the President was suffering from
a very painful kidney disease, which threat
ened TO assume chronic form. His medical
attendants here warned him that if he did
not work less and sleep more, he
might expect a fatal termination of
his disease within a space of time
comparatively short. 1t was on their recon-
n1endation that he sought rest and recreation.
Ii is said that while he was in New York he
consulted one or two eminent PHI sicians who
confirmed the statement of the Washington
physicians as TO his condition, and recon-
mended even more strongly change of habits
and rest, if only for awhile. 1t is said that
the President went to Alexandra Bay
very much depressed by what had been said
TO him by his physicians, but resolved to
profit by their advice. 1t was hoped by his
friends that this chsnge will do a great deal
20 make him himself again, and that the
gloomy fears of his physicians would be dis
sipated on his return.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, October THE trial
of Gen. Joseph A. Mabry and Joseph Mabry
for the killing of Moses Lusby and his son,
Don Lusby, is now in progress in the Crimi-
nal Court at Knoxville. Last Christm as
eve Don Lusby shot at and killed viii
Mabry, son of Gen. Mabry. Several
long and tedious trials took place,
the final one, in June, admitting Lusby
to bail. About the LIST of August Lusby
threatened Gen. Mabry's life on the streets
of Knoxville and followed him up cursing
and abusing him. He was arrested by Chief
of-Police Harper, who carried him to the
recorders Office, where Gen. Mabry took out
a warrant for him. Don was followed to the
office by his father, Moses Lusby,
rd-Joseph Mabry, sou of Gen.
Mabry. While the police were attempt
log TO disarm Don Lusby a general
fight ensued in which FIVE shots were fired,
and both the Lusbys were killed. Notwith-
standing the fact that twelve or fifteen per-
sons were in the room no one saw a single
shot fred. Strange TO say, an excited alder
man took the pistols belonging to both the
Lusbys and Mabrys and threw them out the
window. On account of the high standing
of the Mabry family and the complicated
manner in which the killing took place, the
trial is elicitipg a good deal of interest.
Many are firm in the belief that in the
struggle Don Lusby killed both himself
and father. 1t was proven in the pre-
liminary trial that the balls came from the
same pistol, and were of very large size,
coming from pistol supposed to have be-
longed to Don Lusby.

their hopes centered. Mr.. Watterson SPEAKS
Of course. for himself, and only stuitines
himself, but he is public man, the editor oil
an influential newspaper, and his utterances
on public affairs are always taken 10 mean
something more than is personal TO himself
We deem it our duty, therefore, to protest
that the people of the South do not now and
never will consent TO a measure OF such SELL
degradation as is implied in his admission
that he @kad raised sdere1igsors hands against
the Jag and the honor of the country" No
cause is more sacred to them at this very
hour than that which was involved in the
civil war. Its memories are to them the
hottest, they haunt every home At the South
and dwell in every heart, and they Will
never consent to the traduction of Lee or
jackson, or any of the living or the dead
soldiers of the Confederacy, by admitting
that they assailed the honor OF the country
or raised sacreligious hands against the flag.

Cotton shipped 10 date this season, 100

Not much interest manifested in politics

Miss Ella Mayo, of Tabernacle, and Mrs.
Black, of Galloway, are visiting friends in
this city.
Mrs. Alex Jones and daughter are spend
ing the week in Memphis.
Cotton-ginning has been fourishing this
week under the efficient management of
Messrs. Rittenhouse & Ward.
Why have the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, at Memphis, the best
scales in these parts? Some one suggests
because they make carload of cotton-seed
weigh 1000 pounds more than the shippers
or oil mill scales.
Mr.. NJ. A. Fleetwood, Of this town, is very
low. The doctor entertains but little hope
of her recovery.

mated legislative ticket which makes the
canvass unusually easy for the Democrats.

BY thai oil John Roper, who stands charged
with adultery in divorce bill. Among the
delegates who nominated these worthless was
Ham Gordon, an orator who has frequently
been an inmate of Presidents Island prison,

thorough Republicans have the support and
couutenance of Glenn, or perhaps "Clam"
Harris, gentleman who is little of-color,
and whose reputation is very unssvory. r.
F. CssseIls, colored, and III. B. Ramsey,
speaker of the present House Of Representa-
tives, are on this ticket for reelection be-
cause they voted for the northumberland
three bill and for the sixty-and-six.
Charles Tuggle and Leon Howard, both
colored, are another pair in this '1one hand. I"
They are in very bsd company, and we leave
il 10 our readers 10 locate them in the "deck."
John c. Hook, whose wild talk before The
Convention about the workIngmen justifes
the recent action of the Trades Assembly in
''sitting" on him very hard, is one of the
candidates for the Senate. This is his first
venture in the political arena, and it is
