The occasion afforded the opportunity
for a jam at the rink and everybody,
young and old, who had metalin their
heels were there, as were also the vo-
taries of the deity of fun and raillery,
and as consequence "the live long
night" was replete witt fun and jollity,
1t was squeeze, not metaphorically
so, but literally. Every inch otspace
in the immense hail was occupied.
The masqueraders having the floor
and spectators occupying GIG linear

evidently happy in finding standing

say when the fun grew fast and
fnrious no one thought Of George and
his mother, they were lost to memory

less than they supposed they did, but
because the masquers filled the spec

men who represented Globe City

THE cI5T OF THE MATTER.

The New York World in its editorial
comments on the Pan-Elcctric matter
said:
Senator Garland and bis associates
who accepted partnership IN this Flee
trio Telephone Company must have
done so with the knowledge that they
were expected to use their influence
and votes in the Senate and the House
ui Representatives to promote the in
'ercstS Of the enterprise with the
knowledge, in fact, that through execu-
tive or legislative influence their stock
might be made worth n fortune or be
rendered wholly valueless.
Herein lies the gist OF the accusation
and herein the World failed to make
ont its case.
Because these gentlemen accepted
this stock it does not follow that they
meant to trade official patronage for it,
nor is it a natural sequence that they
were expected to exert their political
influence in It's behalf because the stock
was given them without monied con
sideration.
Undoubtedly the prestige Of theil
names and their influence was reason
for interesting them in the enterprise
but that is very different thing iron
seeking to corrupt them as Office
holders.
"Thc knowledge, in fact, tina
through executive or Legislative infu
ence, their stock might be made WORT
a fortune" could not on any REASONABLE
grounds have deferred them from be
coming the holders OF such stock. Car
rying political morality to this qulxoti
Z extent it might be argued that a MAJ
should decline an election TO Congress
ii he supposed he should have an oppol
tunity TO sell his vote fora large amour
during his term.
1t cannot be made a crime for
member OF Congress to use every legit
mate means for making money. !
simple holding of stock is nothin
> wrong and that is the head and front {
the offending of these senators.

ONE of our West Tennessee exchanges
reports Congressman Glass as having
written letter to its editor, in which
he said, mo bill suspending the coinage
of silver can pass the present Congress,
l will oppose any measure unfriendly &c
the silver interest" The congressman
is doubtless correct in the premises he
lays down-a counting of congressional
noses has led other people to the same
conclusion-but he chose an unlucky
form of expression 1t might leaC
somebody to believe he is conceited.

THE Kentucky Legislature is troubled
with the convict question.
Some Sensible Talk.
Memphis Ledger.


The Nashville papers, after brief
rest, have resumed discussion Of the
momentous question: One or Two Con
ventions? When they get through per-
haps the Democratic Executive Commit
tee will consult the people and have
something to say. The Union is for two
conventions, one to nominate candidates
for the Supreme Bench to be elected
next August, and the other to nominate
candidate for Governor to be elected
next November. This is in accordance
with the usage OF the party. The Amer
lean has heretofore favored the holding
OF only one convention, and has sus-
tanned its side Of the question with great
ability, Since the new management
took charge, however, the paper has not
insisted on the change Of custom, but
seems to be ready to keep in line with
presidents or to accept an innovation
without being in. the least disturbed.
This is sensible and philosophic, and
will tend to allay the petty chickering's
that have been going on, and to promote
the harmony and unity OF the Democrat
ic party.
We are glad to be able to announce
that there is q truce to all this factional
warfare within the party. 1t has had
an unnecessarily protracted life, caused
by senseless, dictatorial agitation. The
Ledger congratulates itself that it has
dealt only with main issues and princi-
pies, and has let the side issues severely
alone. And now at last, when it is evil
dent that there is no great certain DEM
ocratic majority TO boast OF in the State,
there are others who calmly conclude
that there is nothing left TO quarrel
about. The Republicans are Boosting
that they can carry tho State this year.

BURMAH.

A short time ago it was quietly an
nounced that England had added Bur-
nah to her eastern possessions. The
acquisition was made after short war
in which few soldiers were sacrificed
and little British gold expended.
The event created such little stir that
the world scarcely comprehended what
vast addition was by this means made
to Her Majestys Eastern Empire.
Burmah has an area of 1900, 00C
square miles and 100000 population.
1t is one of the most felt lie countries on
the globe, producing cotton, grain and all
kinds % tropical fruits, and its noun,
famous region abound in minerals and
precious stones.
The country is almost eight times a
biz us Texas and nearly two-thirds Il,
large as the whole United States. I
was originally as large, but England ha,
before Topped off some o! its provinces.
Burmah has until now enjoyed ma
tional independence dating back to 81;
b, G. and in the last century it was con
sidered the most powerful nation il
South Eastern Asia.
Yet we read about The English aqui
sition rs a most commonplace matter
and deem it nothing strange to hear thu
British speak OF those Burmese who re

Work Of "A Lunarie-His Escape ana
Capture.
Yesterday afternoon about half-past
, O'Clock dense smoke was seen issuing
from a new unfinished frame structure
at the foot Of Beech street, about one
hundred yards north Of the Confederate
monument, in Hollywood. An alarm
was turned in, and the Laurel-Street
engine responded and soon put out the
fire. The contents Of the house were
totally destroyed, and the house
itself much damaged. The entire loss
amounts to about sl00; ne insurance.
IL was ascertained that the house was
set on fire by q hal-witied man named
James Shelton, step-son Of colored
woman named Mary Randolph, who
had come here night before last from
the country, where be had been work
irg on farm. Yesterday morning he
was left in bed when the other inmates
Of the house went away TO their daily
yocAtiOns.
Af1er burning the house down be
picked up an axe and cane, and pull
ing off bis clothes ran through Holly
wood and jumped into the canal. With
his axe he defended himself from his
pursuers until he was so hOtly pressed
that his resistance proved futile. He
vas captured in q ravine on the Holly
wood side Of the canal just above the
pump-house. and was taken TO the Thru
station house.
