This is what the bondholders want, what
they are clamorous for and demand. They
believe in public debt because it will, II
prolonged, help more firmly to establish
class distinctions and an aristocracy Of
money. Mr.. Oates is doing good work,
genuine Democratic work, and is thus set

they should make haste TO follow and 80

Bold Fisher has permanently broken down,
and has been turned out for good. The
remainder OF the horses are in good shape.
THE New Orleans correspondent of The
Spirit of The Times writes: ''Mr. 5. X. Mont
gomery, late secretary OF the Memphis
Jockey club, tells me the prospects for the
spring meeting at the Bluff City were never
so promising as at present, and there are
substantial reasons for the assertion. In
the first place, there will probably be more
horses, some OF them Of the best class, TO
participate in the meeting than were ever
there before. Then the price OF admission
has been reduced to 81, very judicious
move, as II will help to bring out the null
titudc. In addition, there will be two
dummy lines running between the city
and the track, the fare each way being
only cents. What with the inducements
named, aud the live and liberal manage
ment, Il is not unreasonable to expect the
best race meeting ever held in Memphis. "
