It, Is a fiict aorlhy of no:, that whenever tbe buniness men of Mom phi, cloae their houBes on the day of election mJ woik, the ticket tboy support fs eii re to be elected. Most of the taxpaying people of Mom phi, re Democrats men who com pose of a'l the matsrial Intor fsts of the city, commercial, manu facturing and uiechnnlca1. In 18S0, 1882 and 1884 these taxpaying Demo crata found themselves confrontad by Ignorant men, moot of wlnin pay no taxes and are not interested in good, economical government. Tj defeat anch a dnngeroaB element the business men closed their bouses on the day of election and Joined 'in electing tho Democratic ticket. -Tha Demo crat, have had control of the county for six jeare, and they have rated wisely, bonett'y, economically. No public abuses are aliened. The tnxeB have been promptly calloc'oi and dis burse!. No corruption, no failura to enforce the ltw baa been even intimated against the officials elected by Domocrats. Khali this power bo satisfactorily mod be transftred from tho taxpaylng Democrat! into the hands of men elected by ignorant, nm-taxpaying negrocj. Ko deplorable a resalt Bbou'd 1)9 a vert 3d at all bazirds, and, Dotnocrats, you who pay the taxes and havo so run oh at stake, If you will do your duty at tha polls on Thursday it will assuredly ba prevented. The Attorney General and the four Judges are to be elected for eight years, and you have stronger Incantlve for action than existed in tho last three county elections, The men wbo sup port the Djmocrat'c ticket aro vitally concerned in the growth and prcgo of the city and county; they realize the great importance to tho city mid county of the continued ascendancy of the Democintic party, and they will arouse themselves to energetic action. We understand that the business mon of Memphis will agree to close their , business houses on Thursday. This is , a presage of certain victory, for whon men wbo piy the Uxesentcr a canvass they exerclaa an Infl lenee that is irre sistible. Turn out, thon, taxpayers of Momphii, on Thursday, and dj what you i'.d in the past three, elec tionselect men in every rospoct worthy the confidence a ad support of all good chitons, whether rich or poor. THE CUTT1NU MEXICAN HUDDLE, The imprisonment of aTexan editor named Cutting by the Mexicans, or rather by the Hlnte of Chihuahua, Is inducing very warlike talk among a portion of the preas least likely to un derstand the caso they so hurriedly prejudge. Mr. A. J. Cutting is an American citizen and publishes a newspaper at El IW, Tex,, a place of COOO population. So little a distance away that it is connected by a street railway with El Tiro, ia the Mexican town oj Pso del Norto. Cutting dees not appear to be sulliciuntly reepeclod by hi, fellow citizens to aroue any personal sympathy; it is the unwar rantable proceedings of the Chlhua kuan authorities against him as an American citizen that is the causa of excitement, lie was a frequent visitor to Pa-.o del Xorts, and during a recent visit be became involved in a dispute with the Mexican officials, thtro, and vented bis feelings by denouncing them in bis paper. Oa h's next visit to Paso del Norte hs was arrested and put in jail and, in Mexican style, was denied trial or communication with his friends, and the American Consul took np the ease. Tl. urn at was clear ly illegal, the assorted oilense being committed, if an otlfti.-e it wen, on Amorican ground. Nothing could be done with tb, central government, as the Mexicans are atrong state's right! men, and the State of Chihuahua claims to be supreme in local cases. Of course rve cannot allow Mexican law to bold an American criminally re sponsible for acts done in this country, and Cutting must bs surrendered and an indemnification paid for the wrong he has suffered, although the New Or leans Picayune thus epeak, of Lltn: "Cutting, individually, Is of lit tle or no consequence." It is unhappily the fact that the Mex ican, hate Lot Americans, as they style us, and that hatred U especially etrong in the State of Chihuahua, and this sentiment intensifies the exiRtng feelinj in the Cutting case, a filing the pcop'e in the adjoining portions of Texas heariiiy reciprocate. Coaler heads than theirs, however, will settle the present diepnte, and the New York Herald learns that Secretary Bayard has no doubt about tbe early surren der of the offending editor, hi, expec tation being founded upon assurances from Mexican officials. Mexican troop, are assembling at Paso del Norte, but that is on account of revo lutionary proceedings in that part of Mexico, and thoee acquainted with the f.ttl Bee in the pi sence of these soldiers no connection with the Cut ting case. ' ftPOU.IU tOK DJ BATi:. Gen. Cbalmtra is aoxions to churn with bi, chin the English langunge in grand debate with Judge Morgan, the Democratic candidate for C ingress in tha f-'ecorid Mississippi Congressional District. Oar old friend, aid for whom we still chsrifih that sort of slTiction which smother fsels for her deformed or cripplod child, has a chronic itching for discussion, is never si happy as wboa tolling bis teeth in his mother tongue, and vexing tbe largs, capacioui ears of his party with Lis many tribu lations. Indeed, Gen. Chalmers wou'd be nothing if he were not continually standing before the public holding up the Democrat! j party by the tail and launching upon it the abuse which has become s'ale as a thrice (old tale. The Great Defeated has been quietly shelved by the public an a tire some nuisance, and no one wants to hear anything more from the illus trious eulleror about bis personal griefs. Tbe Hon. D. McKenzie, Chair man of the Dttmocratlo Executive Committee for the Second Di trict, is exactly right in declaring his opposi tion to a joint debite botwetn Gn. Chalmers and Jmlgo Morgan. Gin. Chalmers is Dot tbe accredited repre sents ive of eithsr party; be !s a poli tical orphan, a foundling which nobody claims snd everybody repudiates, and Judge Morgan would lower his own dignity and that of bis pwty by hold ing discussion with a political bucca noer fighting for himself and on bis own hook. Moreover, the Domocrats have learnod by experience that when the Democrats and Republicans agreo on a Hit of Joint appointments, the Republicans induce tbe negroes to absent themselves from the discus sion, knowing that tho rays of truth shining upon the Hinds of tbe benighted nrgro would redound to the benefit of the Democratic pa'ty. Baaidea, Gen. Chalmers's recent circu lar to his friends is an insult to tbe Dsmocracy of the Second Misilisippl Congressional District, and baa pro duoed a general fooling of iudlgnatlon. While attemp.init to organize the ne groes on tho color line, alter the meth ods of the carpet baggers, he intimates that tho Democrats are unprincipled rascals, and will perpetrato any vil lainy to deprive him of bis election. In all this broad Union there is not a Congressional d's'rict comprised of a better class of pooplo than can be found in the Second Misistlppi District They are honrst and a law abiding people, and would scorn to perpetrate the vi' lainy which Gen. Coal tiler's intimates they are capahlo of ennmitting. They have been given home rule, and are iucnpable of the fraud, sug gested, and knowing their integrity aud honesty it is n it surpilaing that they should feel indignant ut Gen. Chalmers', suggested sandors. Thack cray showed how closely he had ob served men and women, too when be made "Bocky Sharp" booms more and more loud in praise of virtue, and more abusive of other woman, tho lower she herself sank In intrlgne and vico. The poar creature's con science was too unoasy to suffer her tingneto be quiet, She always im agined soma one to be painting the linger ol suspicion against her and so she was impelled by the conrcions nrsiof bur own hasoness to bate and a'tack all who lived clean lives. Ho we see the unhappy Cha'mare, like poor "Becky Kiiarp," glaring about and slandering the Democracy of tbe Second Mlsfis ippi Con gressional District, predicting it will practice the frauds whieh he practiced ti elect himself in tbe Shoestring District. In his infu'tlng circular Gen. Chalmers shows that he ought to be elected boauee there are In tho dlstrttt 17,918 white voters, 17,234 negroes, which, with tho white Republicans and white Greenback and Independents, makes a total of lt',7:H, showing a mnj-rity for him of 4310. According t) his figures and logic he carried the Shoestring Dis trict by a s'upendous system of fraud, as it is composed nearly e-n ir. ly of mgrjn, Tticro are constant chango, In the political cuiplcxlon of Con gressional distric'a, and thing! have cmie to a prtt'y pass if tVe success ful paity ia tj be tt'gmatzed as c ir rupt bocauie it sreured a vic'ory. Thore are many Con gressional districts in the fctonth in which there is a large pre ponderance tf negroes over the whites and which is retires n'ed by Demo crats. It is only when Gen. Chal mers is defeated In the Second or Shoe string Dittrict that the result bos been achieved by fr.mj. If Gen. C aimer were not lbs victim of a morbid hallu cination he would take the advice of one who has not forgotten ploasant memories and ret'rs from a contest in which he w ill be defeated. His sland ers of the honest aud incorruptible Dumociacy of the Second District and his ifforls to array the black in solid color line against the wlius have aiouod a storm of in dication which will ovorwholm him in the November e'oction. Hon. J. B. Morgan will be rot urned to the next Congress by a largely increased ma jority. II, i, ,Q earnest worker, al ways at his po3t and devo'ed to tho interest, of hi, constitu ents. He lias already taken high rank in Cangress. Tbe peoplo have a strong, wise, influential lepreeenta- tive in Jndgs Morgan, and we are re joiced to hear that he will b, returned by an Increased majority. He de erve, the indorsement of his on stituonts, and not their hostility. Tuis he will receive in inch a way as to nerve hi, atrong arm with Increased strength for still more usefulness. NEGBO KEPEB.TEBM. Fraud is tbe only thing the Demo crat, have to fear on Tnursday next. To white men a conple of negroes are as much alike as two black syed peas, and it is easy for them to repeat their votes in the fame ward and in all the wards. In the last Ten nessee Lgiila'.ure the Democrats tried to pass a registration law, sj at to prevent fraudulent voting in the large cities. Tbe Republic ns knew such a law wou'd result in di-fealiojr, their party in Shelby and Davidson counties, and they resorted ti the mo t shameful and d'sgracuful tictics to defeat the regWtration bill. They did not adopt tho usual filibustering tactics to defeat the measure, but fled from tbe State raDitil and bid them selves like si rrnny fugitives from justice. The vote of the negn repeat ers oa Thursday will explain why the Hei'Ublicaus wore s hostile ti tbe reg istration law. They d t'oated it for the very purposes they intend to subserve on next Thursday. Democ a's, will you permit tbe election to be carried by fraud? In every elect on in Shelby ounty the negroes vote early and o't?n. Tney are imported bore from Mississippi and Arkansas at so mush a head,nd hundreds of fraudulent vo es ore polled. On Thursday the negro re peaters will vote iu every ward and of;cn in the same ward if not de tected. It is safa U say in every im portant election the colored repeat jrs cast one thousand fraudulent votes. Tbe Republicans from Shelby coun'y in tbe last Legislature bitterly oppossd the registration law, and the reason for this opposition will be roveakd on Tnursday. The Democratic Execu ive Committee has provided methida for the detection of every fiaudulent voter, every repea'cr and every one will be arrested and punished as the law directs. IMIMflCH IN ENUI.AHD. There is something in the present attitnde of parties in England that Is not favorable t) the political welfare of the country. There is the Tory steeped in tha prejudices of monarchy and aristicraoy. Tho a citites the Whig, aristocratic in iotendei.cy, but liberal ia methods; a power with the great middle class. Next is the Radi cal, who is no lover of aristocracy, and a goo 1 poi tion of them are epublican in ren'imer.t. Lastly, there is the firmly knit followers of Purnell, whose obj c's are outside those of the ether parties, and who are ready to f ;rm allianco with any of thsm that will support the Irish measures they thorn solvos have iu view. None of thne pit ties can command alone a Parlia mentary majority. This mikes the tenure of any adnrn stration wholly uncertain. There have been three rapid changes of Miuis'ers,and carta n agroelnents and disagreements among tha various part es may bring yet another change before the year is out. Uncertain tenure of power emaccu la'es a government; it does not what it wou'd but whit It en. It was by bis cunningly encouraging one polit ral section and dopraesing another, as Lis policy d cta td, that Bismarck boa become diet itor in Germany, The Erulish will not a low themselves to b manipulated as the Germans have done, but Btid iln ex st ng a titude of part es ia a misfonune to England, and the result will be watched with inteuse int- rwt.

AN ATTEMPT BY A CINCINNATI AND KENIICKY Syndicate to Control tbe Market for Tears to Come How tho Scheme Was Worked. Liuisvimjj, Ky., July 2!). The Timet tbis afternoon published tbe tolliwing conceining what is confi dentially asserted among the whisky men to be an attempt ti corcer the market for Kentucky and Bourbon whiskies. A syndicate of which Sen ior & Sen, of Cincinnati, and . H. Taylor, of Frankfort, are said to have been the organizers, ba been formed, with over $1,000,010 capital, to buy np all the free whisky of the yea's 187'J to 1883 inclusive. Tbey cent out agen's to gather statis hs as to tbe amount ot whi-ky cf tbt-se yeara on the marker. They felt sure that if not ovr 100,000 barrdj were found, their p'an would succeed. They found only 77,000 barrel?, and went to work 8BCBETLY AND RAPIDLY to bay every offering. It ia less than two weeks since tbt-ir statements were in, and it is stated that they have alreaily bought, in eddit on to their own holdings, about 4400 barrels. Ihe 77,000 barrels r present a -value of over 5,000,000, but by the system cf hypothecating warehouse receipts tbe wtinle can easily ba controlled with a capital of 12,000,000. Besides it is riot r.ou8sary that tha syndicate should hold ad the whisky of these years. Ttiev need have only so large a pro portion as to enable them to hand e the market at will. The SUCCESS OF THIS SCHEME has been made prs'iHe by the heavy export to foreign ports to escape taxes. Further, the syndicate have laid their phns, it is said, to control the produc tion Ijt several years, and thu' retain their control of the markt. Th pro duction of th'S ye.r has bean light, and indeed -of every yfar eince tbe great over production. This has been the purpose of meeting? held during tbe past winter and of rather sensa tional cifculms 88 to the danger cf over production ssnt out by Xaylor and others. MANY KENTUCKY DEALBK9 are said to be interwtid in the scheme t' gether with a (umbar in Cincinnati and Chicago. Of course if they suc ceed tbey can nut tbe piice of liquor at almofct any figure they cooee and many have bten preparing for a great boom. A prominent Ntl ton ciunty dietiller said this morn ing to a Times reporter tbat eiich a Bcliome has undoubtedly been undeitaken. It is conceded by ceer y all dealer that theie was a fair chance for sue, ess as long m secrecy was maintained, and tiiat it would have been immer.sely profitable to the mem bers of the sytidicute Whether they can still succeed is a question.

AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE AH AUEBICAH CITIZEN arbest KD, XX IKADITKD ON A Tramped Up Clinrce snd Bnseljr Murdered by a Hexican OOiclal f aels In the Case. Galvkbton, Tex., July 29. Fancis Rasures, the naturalized American ' citizen who was arretted and ear rendered, night btf re las-, without a hearing, by County Judge Hoffsteiter, on the demand of Chief of Police Mendragoo, of Piedras Negasi, Mex ico, tbat he was a horse thief, was taken from the Mexican prison eight hours after bis incarceration, carried two miles below Piedras Negaea, with his hands tied bthkd bim, and bru tally shot and burned by the orders of Mendragon. The murdered man had taken cut papers of citizen shifl on August 15, 18T3, and promi nent men in Eegle Pass and Piedras Kegasa bear tesiimony that Rasures was an honorable man. The secret underlying tbis icfamons outrage is that Rasur-sbad won the affections of a)womanof whom Chief Mendragon w s enamored, Mendragon swearing vengeance, detailed two of his trusty lietenants to murder his rival. RatureB badly d eabled his assailants and escaped to E jg'e Pats. Mendiagon, however, de termined upou his removal, trumped up a change of horse theft against him, and had him extradited and shot. The night that Rasures wai delivered to the Mexican authiritiej Men dragon left for Sa'.tillo, not, how ever, before having delivered or ders to bis lieu eriatits to execute Rasures. Tbe victim in a pathetic letter appealed to United S:a'ts Con Bui Lynn to save bim, saying that be was an Am ricaa citizen, guiltless of any transgression ataicst any law and that Mendragon bad bim arrested to gratify his vengeance. This letter was delivered t J Col sul Lynn ten hours after the author had been basely shot. The excit'mi'nt hers over this terri ble outrage is at a dangerous pitch, and the county oflicla's who were par ties to it are roundly denounced and will be summarily removed from office.
