DR. HAMMOND, OF New York, Is Of the
opinion that the moral effect Of pugilism
on the youth Of the country is excellent.
This being the case, John L. Sullivan
ought to be made professor Of the manly
art in Harvard university; and to back mp
his views DR.. Hammond ought to endow
the chair Of boxing. That done, there

New ORLEANS, La, Jan. l0.-The Times.
Democrats Baton Rouge special says: AL.

gard 10 the formation OF slate has yet
been taken. The program as given out in

mated, then 10 take n recess for a sufficient
length OF time 10 select other candidates,
and, on the re-assembling OF the conven-
ton, 10 nominate other State officers. This
arrangement disposes OF any disagreeable
complication which might result were the
delegates 10 attempt TO name full ticket
in caucus. Such a course would proba-
bly, cause some wrangling. as il is known
that certain parishes desire certain officers.
Any discussion on that score after tho
nominations would not affect the head Of
the ticket hence the probability that tho
program az given M above will be carried
out. Judge JefIeries, OF Rapides, Il
spoken OF az the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. The policy OF the Nichols faction
seems TO be clearlydetined in one particular,
and that Is that in the event Nichols Is
nominated every other office on the ticket
will be filed by q Nichols man. At their
caucus last night considerable objection
was made to the agreement OF the confer
ence committees In regard 10 the commit
tco on credentials. on the ground that they
had a majority OF the members Of thu
committee.

words We would assure The Commercial

Gov. Lowry less, but because II loves the
people Of Mississippi more. The Comm,r.

McEncry Concedes Eycry,hing.

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. l0.-It is now
very generally conceded by the McEnery
delegates that Mr.. McEnery is no longer a
possibility in the gubernatorial race, and
in caucus they determined to stand rs
one man in favor Of anything honorable
to beat Nichols Assurances have been
given them, they say, that the Moncure
delegation would cooperate in that pur-
pose. A committee OF nine was appointed
TO make any combination for the governor
ship and any State for minor Offices to
beat Nichols before the convention.
Judge JefIeries, Of Rapides parish, was
first appointed by the third man schemers,
but declined the honor, saying he should
support Gen. Nichols to the last. Judge
X. @. Davey, OF New Orleans. and other
prominent Nichols delegates, were spoken
OF as third man candidates for Governor,
but, as far as known, all have declined to
enter into any such scheme. II does not
now seem possible that any combination
can be made TO weaken Gen. Nichols
strength before the convention. His
friends claim that he will be nominated on
the first ballot

4 SURVIVAL AND REVIVAL.

Mardi Gras is to be revived. The people
are to have one day Of fun and frolic, a
day that win be one OF sunshine in their
lives, full OF joy and the mirth-provoking
laughter that smooths away the wrinkles
Of care anil sadness and sorrow. The
Memphi are, it il rumorcd, to come 10 the
front again, and the Ulks arc TO be re-or-
ganized, and balls arc TO be given under
the auspices Of committees composed Of
the best citizens, gentlemen Of large dis
erection and good judgment, whose names
are guarantee OF dccency and good order
The Mcmphi are Ia revive their splcndors
and glories at tho thcater in a series Of
gorgeous tableaux 10 be succeeded by n
ball that will bring together tho elite OF the
city. The Ulks also propose to give a
grand invitation ball in the Cotton Tx
change hall and hall Of the Mcr-
chants Exchange, II those bodies will
kindly concede the use Of these chambers
for an occasion which IL sure to attract an
immense conooure Of people TO the city.
II is to be hoped that this concession will
be made. Other cities since Memphis
stopped her Mardi Gras celebrations have
taken up the custom, and St. Louis has
won an enviable notoriety for pageants and
displays OF almost unrivalled splendor.
Memphis cannot afford thus TO DO out
stripped In the race Of enterprise. She
still has the men and material that in years
gone by made her famous, and she must
summon them TO her MD and revive her
fame In field where she WINS without n
rival. Liberal subscriptions should be
made, and The celebration OF Mardi Gras
ON the l4th Of next month should be made
one OF the most noteworthy events in the
history Of the city.
