GiUJiWII, I 282 Second street, J M. Ktism. ( Memphis, Tenn. I'll L'USUA , UtCEMUEK 12, 1878. MK3IFUIM, OR THE CITY OK FLICK," In an article published elsewhere under this caption, the Clarksville (Ark.) Herald pays a high tribute to the pluck and energy of Mecophii. Our city La certainly passed through a fearful ordeal, but the outlook, under the circumstances, is most encourag ing, intimating that, with the return of better tnnos, and the establishment of a national q l irantino, Memphis will bound into a pros verity hitherto unknown. THK MOUTH CAKT JOI' T11K RF. PABTY. The stalwart Republicans propose to con solidate the north bscause the Democrats ra'i abandon their oraizttioa and merge into the Republican party. This is requiring t o much. Before the southern people aban d)u their frierrts and embrace their enemies t'tit-y bbould ask what has the Republican party done for the south since the war that should entitle it to respect? What single measure has it devised or put into execution that, in a single respect, was conceived with reference to the pacification of the south, or that was not intended totally to advance ijni'j mean, selfish interest of the party ia power? Physically, the south is subdued. 'I lie spirit of secession has been wholly elimi ti.it!. All the southera States aro poor. For years the broad heel of the plantation ri'-VM was upon the necks of the whites. The carpetbatfeni stole the natives poor and thiinaelves rich. The people endured all these thing) with fortitude; but all this d kh not seem to be enough. We are re quired to desert our friends and take our en-enii-f", persecutors, an! p'nnderers to our heart-", and repudiute tii. party that liber ated us. The people of the Bouth would imke most any sacrifice to secure the bless ings of peace, but they cannot join the Re DuWicHn party for that purpose. They re- iii'iuber, with vivid distinctness, when the white people of the south were disfranchised and its intelligence nud virtue placed under tin; dominion of strangers, its ignorance and it vice; when they were stigmatized as traitors, their brilliant and heroic struggle for iaiiepend ince was bran lad as the sum of all crimes, to be repented ot bsfore forgiveness could be granted, and on the avowal that their paroles and their new oaths of allegi ance were not to be trusted, their States were made military districts and placed as conquered provinces under armed rule. Can the southern people join a party taut thu3 defamed them? They wore not only shut out from all participation in their local government,' but pinned down by bayonets and held in enforced inaction and bilence. Voluntary reconstruction was re-preas-.'d and rendered impossible by the re construction laws. Disordt r then became an element of political party success .elsewhere. Sach disturbances as occurred arose necessa rily under a bitter and pioscriptive rule which made the meat it fed on. Under the operation of these causes, the southern peo ple have endured untold miseries. While in some States labor and production were paralyze J, new and enormous public debts recklessly created, and the substance of the people devoured by adventurers, these were not the worst ills of reconstruction. The prolonged mental Buffering, the cruel humiliation, the torturing processes of degradation, to which it has subjected a brave, proud and honorable peb- . pie, born and bred to be free, are without parallel within the limits of christian civiliza tion. Its evils have not been confined to the south. iDjuiies have resulted to general tlaance, commerce, manufacturing and other industries, which at this time are tearing the bowels of the common country. If when the war ended reconstruction had been satisfied with the death of a thousand leading Con federates on the scaffold, it would have done mercy as compared with the severity of the pat. And now the party that is guilty of these outrages upon the southern people, and which intlxted so muc'i injury upon the whole country, complain that a "solid south" is arrayed against the Republicans, and insist that we ought to abandon the Democracy aud take to our embrace our ene mies! This is cool. History tells of the old despot who, after slaying a rival for the throne, used his hide for a drum head and now, afttr persecuting the south ern people, the Republicans propose that they give their hides on which to beat the triumphal march of Radicalism to power. The southern people will bo guilty of no such degradation. Governor Gilbert Walker, of Virginia, who served four years in the Federal army, says: "The cry of solid south' will not hurt the Democratic party. Is it anything to be ashamed of? In fact it i, in my judgment, something to boast of rather than to be ashamed of; and I think it is a mistake either to try to conceal the fact, ( which is impossible, or to be frightened at h i liu labaloo which Republican organs raise about it. Of coutse, they don't like it, because there stands the one hundred and thirty-eight electoral vote3 which they can not get round, or under, or over. Lut the people of this country are not fools, and it dots not hurt our paity for the people to know that we are withia forty-seven votes of victory at the start. " The south can not bj frightened fioui her allegiance to her triends, and into the support of her enemies. Southern disintegration means a perpetuity of Radical rule, and as this party has done i'. worst the threat of a solid north strikes no i'-rror 10 me neans ot me southern peo ple. While Radicalism lijU its hideous front the south will remain solid. If the south goes into a campaign as a solid section it is because it has been the policy of the Re publican parly to sectional; it, bceau.-e it fears that it will b3 oppressed and plundered unless it consents to serve the purposes of the Republican paity. It can be nationalized on'y by the election of a Democratic Presi dent. L-2t it be assured that the cord will not again be put arouni its neck, or the shackles upon its limbs, and we shall hear no more of "the solid south." When it shall be no longer compelled to combine for self-preservation, for actual life and liberty, the south will divide as the north do3. Torties will be reorganized upon questions that have no relation to the civil war, and the colored vote will divide with th : l.itf voU.

If the conwrtss of t..-; United Sf.'.tos pro-pj- an invft-liiritk.a every time a cross roads cltice-seeker a!h" s fraud and intimida tion, the government will soon bo made bankrupt. AftT the iir-:t Shite election in Mississippi, which re-u'.ted in such a triumph fcr the Democrats, Scntcr .Morton offered a resolution for a ppecial committee to investi gate the conduct of the campaign and the election. Of course there was no warrant under the constitution for any such investi gation, any more than there is for the in vestigation now proposed by Mr. li'uiue. When Senator Morten offered Lij resolu tion, Mr. bayard repeatedly asked him to point out the section or clause cf the consti tution which conferred the power upon the senate to make such investigation. Senator Morton, with all his ingenuity, was unable to answer. Nevertheless the committee was appointed, aud Mr. Boat well, of Massachusetts a most relentless partisan, put at the head ofjit. The committee went to Missis sippi and literally raked the State over with a fine-tooth comb. Acres of testimony were gathered, the object of the investigation be ing for no other purpose than to make up a case to prevent the admission of Mr. Lamar to the senate. The investigation cost many thousand dollars, and the net result was to afford an opportunity to a few of the senate malignants to vent their hatred against the south. When Mr. Lamar presented Liuisilf on the floor of the senate, and asked to take the oath of office, Mr. Morton himself voted for his admission, as did erery other Republican senator, with but two exceptions. The in vestigation now to be had, also to cost the public treasury thousands of dollars, will be prolific of no greater results. It will ffive the opportunity to Mr. Blaine to air his opinions, and, as he hopes, help his Presidential aspir ations, and that is all. A CJLOOM V I'lCTOIE. We published a doleful account of the financial condition ot Mobile afew days since, and now comes Charleston with t'r e same dis mal story. The Courier and 2 etc 8 says: The city of Charleston Is In as bad a way. It seems, as the city of Savannah was htsi rear, nail we cm aruiecUte better now lhan we did then the pressuro of circumstances which loice coinmui hies, like in- dlvldulas. to ask for Hie lnd licence of thair credit ors. In the opinion of the cily council, ch:ulesttm cannot pay -the lnlt-re.it onthe municipal tie t. Theie are lirge arrears of uapiild t.ixes. LYop'-rty has fallen In value: the city Is larue y Indebted to employes aud others a heavy deficiency, to be pro vided lor out or the taxes or the c.sm lng year, stare.s the council In the face. This Is bad enough lit addition, the city, by recent decisions of me sunreme court of the United States, is precluded lroin t;ikli.g city stock, which will diminish the i;.co:ne from taxes next year. Ipon a careful Investigation or the lluitncl.l situation, the comm ittee or ways r-nd means, a body deserving of nub ic uontideiice. have c uue to the conclusion that the people e input pay a higher tax man is cow levied, ami iu.it tLe ouiy wa to keep down the rate of luxation to the prroei.t lt-vel. or to actuary lower the rate. Is by reducing the amount of tue city debt, or by leduclng the rale of Interest. There Is more dlilViiliy utUcdiy In se curing a reduction of principal than a reduction of lnteiet. A ieuuction oi tiie rate or in er st upon the city debt from six per cent, to lour net-cent, will have the same Hfecc, until the maturity of thor.rw cbilKUtion, as scaling the principal to slxty-s x and twr-thlrds cents on tue dol.ar, and w ill not involve a rellnuuishment by the holders of any part of the capital value of their securities. me committee, therefore, advise th; t the present six per euL city stock be conver.

These boi.ds, it Is ex pected, will co uniHU'l at leas, as high a price as the six per cent, stock coniuitnds, and, having a long pei ion to run. ana ueins inaue as secure as legisla tion can make them, will be a desirable an! prolit able liiver.tment. Oar position all along has been that every i-tlck and slonc in the city Is liable lor the municipal d hi, aud tn.it, if U were not so liable, It is cneaperto iwy man to repu iiaie. we snail aban don inis position, li hi all, with threat reluctance. A proper mm:; to Do Uin.e, It seems to us, U to make a clear slaum-ut of the financial condition or mo city. xiie cay can then comer with Its creditors as was done elsewhere, and strive to set them to consent to mike such flu i-x- cDange or securities as the city council pioposa. W hen It Is found that the city cannot pa? in lull and Is really doing me best It can, the holde. s of the city stock can be expected to acjdetoa reasonabl ; re adjustment, ior, airalnst the fact that the holdeis of city stock can enicreo tue pajnient or Interest In mil, by judicial piocceu:ngs, is Hie ruriher fact that any corporation which is determined not to pay can put Its creditors to inconvenience ajid expense bv almost Interminable litigation. Moreover the pioperty or a whole people t anno: be sold lor tax-s. What obstacles Cin be Intermixed wh-r.- there Is an unwillingness to recognize a lt-iral obligation, Is sufficiently shown by the nhtory or the uiusoi tue Dank or tue s.ii'.e, which uive the supreme court of the United States at their back. aud by the position of the coupons of the consolida tion bunas, which aie by contract with tae hoUt rs recelvabio for Statu taxes.

WHAT BEX II I I.I. 8AV. xne uiaunguisaeu. sena:or irom lieoreia is open in his denunciations of Hayes's mes sage, so far as it slanders the south. Hill declares that there is not the slightest foun dation upon which to base the absurd charges of cruelty and violence toward the blacks al leged against the people of the south. He claimed bo be perfectly familiar with the con duct of the recent ctections in South Carolina, and he eaya the expeiiencc cf the blacks in Georgia is that they are better off under Dem ocratic rule, and the strongest supporters that the Democratic policy has ia th9 Eoutli are the colored people. "Georgia," says he, "13 practically solid for the Democracy for all time to come. Oar people wculd rather be placed iu their graves than a'aiu ba subject ed to or atiiliated with RadicaiLni iu any shape." WHAT A t'UAXUE. Senator IJutler, cf So ith Carolina, iu a few days will deliver a speech in the United States senate showing that while in one year the carpetbaggers spent nearly 0i:0 aud a quarter million dollars for legislative expenses alone, the Democrats when they got control spent but eighty-four thousand dollars. He will then go on to show that tLe negroes, feeling the heavy burden cf taxation, changed their politics of their own free will, and that the bulldozing charged in the late elections was all fcr party effect. He will not attempt to condemn intimidation, but to show that the charges in this instance aic false. The Republicans pretend to fear that the Confederate generals in congress will inau gurate a new rebeliioc. Because the Presi dent appointed half a dczn rebel Democrats to otlice ia the south a general howl was sent up. 13at a fiw daya since IU3 President nominated Mosby, cf Virginia, for a foreign miesioB. Mosby is an ex-iuc-nlia, ex-freebooter, cx-bnsh whacker, bat he is a li- publi can, and like charity, that covers a multitude of sins. If a man once killed Unioa men for pastime, he is transformed iato a mar velous patriot provided he is a Republican. A Urnnkaril's hrsiu.
