THE story that lot of COWBOYS in.

and hold them in mountain caves to
secure heavy ransom lacks confrmaN

idan, Senator Vest, Secretary Lin.
coin, the newspaper correspondents,
teamsters and other important per.
sonages. 1t would be the poorest
speculation the cowboys ever under
took. Presidents are too easily made
nowadays to justify q very high price
per capita. If this whole party should
drop into a canon a thousand feet deep
and never be heard Of, the country
wod go ulo the same. There is
good Presidential timber in every
State If not in every county, and it
can be had for the asking whenever it
is needed. As many men think they
are fit to be President as there are who
consider themselves qualified to be
editor Of a leading daily newspaper.
Our wandering President is not
needed and not missed, and if he can
have any sport in the wilds Of the
Northwest, why, who should object2
No one should envy him his pleasure
and the Presidential bauble.

The first of September issue Of the
LEDGER will be one Of the neatest
and best arranged papers ever issued
in Memphis. In the preparation of
tables and special articles regard will
be had to the quality and value Of
matter rather ssAsG quantity and inn
mense space. The paper will be fair
reAx of the leading business interests
and industries Of Memphis and the
progress made in one year, and it will
show that'we have abundant cause for
the hopeful and satisfied feeling that
prevails among all classes. Having
this week added a splendid new fast
press to the establishment and ordered
a fine lot Of superior paper for the
occasion, We hope to celebrate the 18th
anniversary of the LEDGER's natal
day, and the general progress of Mem
phis, in a becoming style. A very large
edition will be issued, which will reach
the entire reading public connected

Dr.. Thos. W. Humes and the re-
naming members Of the faculty Of the
University of Tennessee, at Knoxville,
rendered their designations to the
Trustees last Friday. This is the cul-
mination Of the difficulties chat have
existed some time, and have been
noticed more or less freely by the
Tennessee press. Of the Trustees in
attendance at recent meetings, a small
majority has been inimical to the fac
ulty. A complete reorganization will
be necessary. Several members Of the
old faculty, it seems to be understood,
will be re>elected. The Trustees will
settle this at a meeting to be held
Wednesday. The trouble originated
in conflicts Of authority, not in any
objection, as far as any surface indi-
cations point, to any member
Of the faculty. There is something
pathetic in the resignation of such a
man as Rev. DR.. Humes. He is Q
man Of venerable appearance, and
easy, graceful manners, and exercises
fatherly and benignant influence
upon the students. Bis connection
with the institution dates back Of the
war, if we mistake not. He is "a man
Of charming social qualities, is schol-
arly without being podantic or stiff.
aud attracts alike the young and old.
Having resigned in good faith in the
interest Of harmony and the institu-
tion Of learning over which he has
presided SO many years, it is hardly
probable that he will ever return to
the conduct Of its affairs. 1t is to be
regretted that he felt constrained to
take such q course. The new faculty
will probably be directed to elect one
Of its number to act as President for
the ensuing year.

TIE Kansas papers have been en-
gagged in a prOtracted discussion of
the causes Of drought in that State,
some of them oontending that it is
caused by the absence Of trees, and
others asserting that this has nothing
to do with it. Outsiders, without
studying the question from q scientific

the conclusion that it was caused by
the want of rain.

Speer's Wine Endorsed by the Faculty Of
New York.

NEW I DIRK.
We, the undersigned Committee OF
physicians requested to examine into
the merits, and report upon the
Wines of Alfred Speer, have given
our special attention to his Port
Grape Wine, made from the Oporto
Grape, grown in his own Vineyard, as
follows:
First-We are all satisfied Of its
purity, having been through his Vine
yards, and Warehouses and Cellars,
during the Grape seasons, and seen
the method of it's production and
preservation, no secrets being made Of
the means employed in the cultivation
of the grape or the mode Of collecting,
expressing, and fermenting the juice.
Second-Its flavor is such as to rem
der it acceptable to the most delicate
stomachs, being equal to the best I'm
ported Foreign Wines, and we are all
satisfied that it can with safety be rec
commended to Invalids as an article
well calculated for their use where
Wine is needed.
