A BAP THING,
The military authorities in Salisbury,
If.' C., have suppressed the sale of pic
tures of Generals Lee.'Jackson and other
Confederate uenerals. Dispatch.
Is this thing of provoking the Southern
people to violent speaking and acting,
never to ceane? Is an attempt syste-
moticany oeing made to perpetuate nos-
t.Uties between the sections, and thus
keep tbe booth in an interior position
a prey to cotton-stealers or any one else
who may take a fancy to get rich from
the blood and torture of a great, gallant
and superior race? Forbid the gale of
pictures? Is nny ninn weak enough no
to know that waters cannot quench, and
fires cannot burn the memory of Lee and
Jackso.v from the hearts of the Southern
people? If Lee's grand, living face is
permitted to be seen in Washington and
Virginia by all, everywhere and by whom

bitrnry acts are death to his policy.
"THE PRESS " OF MEMPHIS
. Tbe editor cf a morning paper takes it
upon himself to contradict the statement
we made on Saturday under the above
head, in connection with the movement
of a portion of tbe munagers of the
morning papers with regard to the Press
reports. This oracle declares that the
Public Lepofh ''enjoys the exclusive
use of the mid-duy dispatches," which is
simply untrue, as all the city pupers
but one use all the dispatches -both
noon and midnight. The personal para
graph in his notice is doubtless intended
as an advertising dodge, hoping to draw I
us 011 to an answer, and thus bring his I
sheet into notice ; but we are too old for

in the Ledger, you will find our rates on
the first page, nnd our terms ia yovr case, I
as you already know, are strictly cash in
advance. We will not now or at any fu
ture time enter into any newspaper con
troversy, and therefore leave this matter
to be settled between the New York As
sociated Press, and the morning papers
of this city, being perfectly indifferent I
as to the result.
- ILLEGAL EXPENDITURE. '
A bill has passed, or is now pending
in Congress, providing for an appropria
tion of one hundred thousand dollars to
aid the Paris Exposition. The New
York World is doubtful of the power of

Constitution. Perhaps, however, ' the
life of the nation justifies it' We wish
not to do the President injustice to sup
pose that he will not veto such n bill
promptly." An exchange commenting
on this remark, adds: "Congress gets
the power where it finds authority to
print 10,000 copies of speeches, etc.,
made upon the death of an ex-member
of Congress, and to perform a large num
berof profitable acts for the benefit of
persons in fnvor at the eapitol. It is too
late to ask where Congress gets th power
to do anything. What is not done by
military necessity may be done for party
advantage and profit
TOUCHING TKIBCTE.
The following is from the Columbus
(Ga.) Sun:
The proposition to appoint the 2jth of
April as the anniversary on which all
Southern women are called on to deco
rate the graves of our deceased soldiers,
meets the approbation of the ladies in
terested in the work here.
On the 25th of April (God willing I we
will inaugurate this custom in Columbus
nnd we earnestly hope it will never fnll
into disuse.
This would be, perhaps will be, a touch
ing custom, to be observed from year to
, yeur by the women of the South. It
would be in happy accord with the repo
sition they made during the war. Come
what may, the dead heroes of the South
ill never be forgotten by the women

BEKI0P3 DIFFICPLTY. .
A Cairo dispatch of the 21st snys: A
serious conflict between the civil and
military authorities has just occurred
here. D. C. Phillip, Marshal of South
ern Illinois, came here with a writ order
ing him tc sell a lot of pork which had
been libeled for salvage. The Marshal
on arrival here found the commandant
of the post ready to resist the Fale by
armed force. The Marshal sold the prop-
I erty, but the military interfered and pro
hibited the delivery. In the meantime
the military took possession of the pork
and shipped it off South. It remains
now to be seen what the Court will do to
vindicate its authority.

An English View of Petersburg.
A correspondent of the London Times
writes the following from our city, under
date of November 7th:
This strangling and impoverished little
town was the graveyard of the Confedp-
racv. In the strong and elaborate torti-
fications around it the Southern soldiers
made their last desperate stand, fighting

hosts. I he suffering of the t ontederate
