Our fellow-citizen William S. Flip
pin, Esq, member of the Memphis
bar, has recently had published the
first volume Of the Reports Of Cases
Argued and Determined in the Cir
cult and District Courts of the United
States for the Sixth Judicial Circuit,
from 1859 to 1871" Ibis volume is
inscribed to Judge William Fullerton,
Of the city Of New York, and by the
permission of that great lawyer and
eminent jurist. The preface to the
first volume is model of brevity.
The work done is happily described in
the following language: "0f the cases
found herein, it will be seen that
twelve were decided by Halmer Fl.
EmmOns, all bearing unmistakable
marks of his high abilities. As his
judgments Che was often so pleased to
term opinions) shall be better known
to his surviving brethren, his fame
will grow wider and brighter. The
case Of TAFT VS.. N. Y. L. ms. Co., a
most important one, is reported in
full, as also Talcott vs.. Pine Grove,
Brown VS.. Memphis. and Sharpleigh
VS.. Surdam. A number of Judge
Browns opinions are reported in
the volume, as we'll as decisions by
Judges Whitney, Welker, Swing, II.
V. Wilson, Sherman, Ballard and
Trigg. Judges Mclean, SWayne and
Miller wrote others" The written
consent and approval was given to Mr..
Flppin to act as reporter by Judges
Swayne, Baxter and Hammond. The
LEDGER is justly proud to know that
a Memphis lawyer has done the work
of editing the opinions of judges pre-
siding in the courts of the United
States in the States of Tennessee, Ohio
aud Michigan, with SO much ability
and accuracy as to command the atten.
tion and receive the strongest com.
mendation of those learned in the law
Judge W. f. Cooper, Of the Supreme
Court, ex-Judge Snecd, Of Tennessee
ex- Chief Justice 4. P. Rauey, of Ohio
and Judge Whitney, Of Michigan, unit,
in expressing their gratitude for tn,
care and accuracy OF the work. 1t i
said that Judge Brown, also Of Mich
gan, speaks of this volume as not sur
passed by any other Of American re
ports" The LEDGER hopes the au
thor will receive the amplest rewards
in hard money for his labors, and adj
to his tame, additional honors, in hi
profession.

THE PRESENT sCOURGE.
The smallpox Complication and
isit o NATIONAL Epidemic9

In regard to the recent declaration
of the Board of Health that smallpox
is epidemic in the United States, an
authority says;
An official declaration of this sort
will enable quarantine authorities in
foreign countries to discriminate
against ships. from American ports
an occasion they always seize upon
with hostile avidity. There is, there
fore, at least one good reason why it
would have been we'll rot to make
such a declaration unless there was
some public advantage in it or
some imperative necessity for 1T;
and there was neither, so far as
we can see. Indeed, the official
declaration that disease definitely
recognized as one strictly cemmuni-
Gated by contagion has become cpl
demic involves an absurdity, except in
SO far as the word epidemic is re-
stricted to the significance that in
given season the atmospheric condi-
tions are such as to favor the vitality
of the disease germs and permit their
effective transmission through greater
distances than usual. But there is no
evidence that the atmosphere is IN
that condition now. All the cases
are on great lines of travel, and the
movement of the disease can be ac-
counted for by personal contact.
John Il. Addicks, Health Officer,
insists that it is not epidemic in Phil
adelphia, Notwithstanding the decision
OF the National Board of Health that
smallpox is epidemic in the United
States, yet he displays great nervous
ness in depicting the situation. dc
says:
Let it be understood that smallpox
is not epidemic in Philadelphia; but
yet there is enough oft to make every
one alive to the necessity for taking
individual measures for self protection.
One can not tell where it is to be
found. 1t may be in street car, or
in any promiscuous gathering, where
it may do its loathsome work unseen
and unknown. 1t is an enemy with
which we cannot grapple in open and
fair contest for supremacy. 1t is one
which attacks US silently and as an as
sassin strikes us in the dark. The
only known and tried safeguard
against its fatal encroachments is
vaccination. This great friend and
protector is at the command Of all
classes, and it is foolishness, indeed,
to disregard its friendly Offices. There
are many who argue against vaecina
ton as applied to themselves with the
plea that they do not believe they
would get the disease anyhow. Their
belief is not safeguard, and will not
prevent them becoming victims,
whereas vaccination has been tried
and found effective.

pendent upon her. Miss Bigbie is

DR.. Luke P. Blackburn in putting
aside his pocket case and saddlebags
to enter politics and become Governor
Of Kentucky, set an example which is
likely to be followed. 1t is now ru-
mored that DR.. Standiford, the we'll
known railroad man, will shortly be-
come a candidate to succeed DIR.
Blackburn as Governor, and also that
be will furnish the money to start a
frst-class Democratic paper in Louis
vile. The Governors eat is nice warm
place for retired gentleGan Of brains
aud money, DR.. Standiford has both
and can. afford to be Governor if he
chooses. Having been successful in
his profession and in large business az
fairs he would doubtless, like DR..
Blackburn, made a creditable Gov
ernor. AS to running newspaper
that is another matter, his education
in that line is presumably deficient.
The pathway to newspaper success
is a very howery one at the
outset but it widens out
into very rugged and stony highway
before the gcal is reached. Many men
are called to newspaper life, but few
are chosen. Like the seed of the
sOwer, some fall by the wayside aud
the fowls destroy them; some fall upon
stony places where there is not much
earth, and forthwith they spring up,
because they have no deepness of earth
and when the sun is up they are
scorched, and because they have nc
root they wither away; and some fall
away among tborns, and tho thorns
spring up and choke them; but Others
fall into good ground and bring forth
fruit, some a hundred fold, Others
less-generally less. He that hath
ears to hear let him hearken.

as to their special aims. The FederaIIsts

Socialist Union call themselves "eyolu-
tionsts," and include many deputies and
Journalists They believe that labor asso

Their organs are the Radical, Justice and

program. They want to agitate, revolu-

the Republican regime, the Blanquists have
always taken a leading part. Formerly

To THE EDITOR or THE GAZETTE When
| wrote you the account of the stealing Of
my corn 1t was not my desire to Interfere
with any of the rights Of any OF our colOred
brethren. had not looked at 1t from the
same standpoint which the honorable com
mittee did who got up the report to their
meeting which, as you see, has been ad-
dressed to me. 1t was not for the purpose
of degrading our colored brethren, but did
feel aggrieyed to think about the loss of my
corn, but when on second thought that !
was doing a public service In educating a
class of men who had not had the benefit of
our school system, / felt happy. We
have an Agricultural College located here,
and what has 1t done In the interest
| of agriculture 1t is just possible that 1t Is
owing to my farm being ON the land adjoin-
ing the college that | have made with my
educational institution greater success In
my new undertaking OF educating persons
| in the art of raising corn than was ever be-
fore witnessed in this locality. II is plain
that have done more in that line than
Delaware College has in the IL years since
its reopening, and at an expenditure of
$50, 900 of the peoples money, and had not
my student been such fool he might have
raised twenty times the same amount of
corn in the same time, and with no more
labor than what he put to raise
the two bushels which he did raise,
and by which he no doubt thinks he made
quite a success aud feels proud of 1t az an
/ exploit long TO be remembered. II is a
question with me whether that person who
stole my corn did not more successfully
raise his two bushels In less time and with
} less labor and without the use of fertilizer
than any student OF Delaware College ever
, will, should that institution have an exis-
, tence of hundred years, and use $500, ,O0O
of the peoples money. Therefore, the ex-
pertinent tried on my farm at raising corn
+ has shown that it IL not necessary to pay
| $1,000 Of the people's money annually to
Delaware College 10 know how tc
raise corn quickly and cheaply. That
sable brother should at once apply to the
Delaware College trustees for position o
practical corn raising. He has shown
: beyond doubt that he can do 1t. Now
s instead of trying to degrade that man to tn,
; level of the safe burglar, have put him OF
the high road to get lucrative position II
any agricultural college of the country
Therefore, | offer this, my apology, as
salve to heal the wounded feelings of oul
sable brothers, hoping they will receive It ii
the sincerity in which give 1t.

THE Morning NelOs Is mistaken when It
supposes that the GAZETTE does not enjoy
the kind of humor that spiced Mr.. Grubb's
speech at the Institute Hall last night. We
particularly enjoyed his description of
how the Democrats few years
ago went down to Dover 10 secure
increased representation In the Legislature
for this county, and how the Republicans
hocked in body to defeat them. 1t was
very good, indeed, but we suspect that the
vein of humor embodied in that deserip-
tion Is not exactly the brand
most relished by our morning con-
temporary. 1t was like the "playfuP
reference to Boss "Dick" and his band oil
political reformers, of style entirely toe
pointed to please the sensitive cuticle OF the
morning organ.
