THE BADICAL CABDIDATE FOB. AT I0ENEY GENEHAL. The desire that some men have to hold office has been known to extinguish every spark of virtuous principle in their nature. It becomes a malady with them which is exceedingly hard to cure. They may be compared to the female, who, enciente, longs for something, and if not immediately gratified marks her nnfortnnate infant whose advent into this world is daily expected. Such an effect as this, which the mind has over the body, con be shown in one other case only that of the anxious office-seeker, whose complexion becomes spotted in a single night from anxiety to gain the blackamoor's vote. The first symptoms of this mental disorder is an utter dis taste to legitimate pursuits and the pro pensity to stand on the corners and talk to the busy passers-by. When a man once engages in the business of seeking publi position, he i.s ever afterward dis qualified for the more ordinary avoca tions of life. He contrncts habits of idleness that lead hira into all manner of dissipation . and debauchery. The com munity soon begins to look on these with disgust and abhorenee. Honest men shun them as they would the rotten carcass of a dead animal. The better plan in all these matters is to let the office seek the man and not the man the office. If the people desire that one -of their number should be in vested with the robes of office, the thing can be done without the sacrifice of modesty on the part of a single iitdi vidua). We observe that some men are continually up for position, without the lnst regard to what may be the wishes of the public, whose duty it Is to reward those thought most competent for official trust. An amphibious politician whose, mark every one has grown familiar with, is Patrick Mulvihill, a man much re-spec-ted in the past for his devotion to the Confederate cause. This allusion to his history as a Southern soldier is done that our people may draw a comparison as to what be was and what be now pur ports to be. What we r.sk is: is it po ile that such a man can consistently and without the blush of shame on bis cheek, write himself down a Radical negro worshiper? Putrlck Mulvihill came to Memphis in February, 1,106, from Mississippi, with the intention of making this his future abode. We are informed that at the time he still wore Ins Confederate butternut suit, and was famous as a Democrat. vlle participated in several Democratic mnetings, and was always conspicuous 'tis a leading spirit. His lust for oflii-M, however, overcame what he loudly prufi-ised as his princi ples, and soon he might be observed herding with those who had been so bitterly denounced as enemies. The sudden desertion to the Radical party surprised every one who had become familiar willi his course during the war. It seems that after fonr years of trial that men who had suffered and toiled with him must nt lat find themselves mistaken as to his true charat-U-r. The more the pity that weak human nature is sometimes unable to cope with the al lurement of ambition. To thi9 cause alone, perhaps, is it to lie attributed that Patrir k Mulvihill is nightly to be found with nejrroe on the most intimate of so-! cial and polit'u-al relations. lie desires office, and for that he would sacrifice every oth'-r principle. But it would tie well if this ambitious individual would ponder fur a moment the thought of his eliilibihtv to fill the oEice of At - torney General, pirea. The ew Constitution requires ' . .11 that an Atturnev for the ute, tor aayl circuit or district for which a Judge htv- inn criminal jurisdiction shall be provi ded by law, shall be Ject-d by the quali fi! ...t r nf CT?t O- dihtrid. - ' nd shall bold hi. ofEce ' "", eiii'it rears ead i-hall have been a mt tlrut i-f the Shite firt ytart. Jf Cve ( years' residence is required here" in this State before any one can hold the office of Attorney General, then Muivinui can not discharge the duties of the same should he be elected to it. That he has not resided here the requisite time may be found out by reading the following affidavit: The State of Mississippi. 1 Monroe county, et. I Before uie, Geore W.. Pennington, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Baid county, this day personally appears fcamuel J. Gholson, Samuel Yord, James W . Lee, W L C. Bailey, Lamon bliell, u. i. Buchanan and E. H. Bristow, citizens ot said county, who made oath that they are acquainted with Patrick Mulvihill, now residing at Memphis. Tennessee; inVrl in Monroe county, Mis sissippi, during the year I8tw and part of 18tib and that he left said county with an express intention of -going to Memphis, Tennessee, not earlier than the first dav of February, 18ti6, to the Wt r,f nnr k'nowledce and belief.

This instrument of writing, of which the above is as near a copy as can be made with ink and type, is stamped and sworn to in the presence of an offi cer having the authority to issue such an oath. It may be observed that the said Mulvihill left Mississippi about t ebruary, 1866, with an avowed intention of coroi ng to Memphis to live, and up to that time accounted himself a citizen of Missis sippi. That, then, would make his residence in this State about four Years and three months. Rather too short a time by niue months to be eligible to the office of Attorney General. But for fear there might be some quibbling on this point, we would ask Mr. Mulvihill whether he did not in May, 1867, declare his intention for the first time to become a citizen of the United States? The record shows this statement, and it must be true. Then, again, did not the said Patrick Mulvihill swear out a petition be fore Judge Hunter in October, 18C8, Dravinz for a writ of mandamus to compel one J. J. Sears, Registrar, to issue to him (Mulvihill) a Registrar's certificate for voting, and on the ground that up to the close of the war he (Mul vihill) was not a citizen of the United States Government, and, being so, could not commit treason against the country? This, with other evidences the most con vincing, establishes beyond controversy the fact that Patrick Mulvihill is ineligi ble to the office of Attorney General of this district. We invite investigation to the charges made in this editorial, and defy successful contradiction. T, S AYRES, TEE DRUMMER BOY. Our special correspondent on the spot furnishes us with a funny history of a day's pleasure by the new Radical con vert, T. S. Ayres, who is moving "the spheres" to accomplish his eager wish to be Chancellor. On Saturday last there whs to be a grand ratification of the Fif teenth Amendment At Collicrville, and believing it good ground for pushing his popularity, Ayres found his way to the depot of the Memphis and Charleston railroad. AfW depositing Mrs A. in a more genial atmosphere, the Radical candidate for Judicial honors, slipped into the rnr set apart for the Bona of Ham who were bent on participating in the celebration. To ingratiate himself still further than mere affability, and disposed to contribute all in his power to the social feeling predominating, the dignified A?reg slipped the drum collar over his neck and " discoursed most vio lent music" with the sticks, while lis darky compatriots enlivened the time by shrill notes on "the ear-piercing fife." It was a forcible display of peculiar fitness for the dignified office of Chancel lor, and was in itself convincing evidence that Treadwcli S. Ayres is not above the lowest arts of the demagogue, or the most humble subserviency to besotted ignorance, to advance the -interests of his ambition. CLOSE 0? THE CANTASS. The caiivaas will close on Wednesday evening next the night previous to the day of battle Thursday the 20th inst. The people of Memphis will be addressed by our standard-bearers. It is not yet diiturniined wh-re the meeting in the city is to take place, although the Ex change Building has been mentioned. It has been thought that some convenient or central place in the open air, in view of the extremely oppressive weather, would be more agreeable, and the Exec utive Committee will decide upon and designate the mot appropriate place in ample time to apprise the citizens. A large turnout of the people is expected. It will be the close of the canvass, and as everybody should fuel a deep interest in the result, there should be no remissnesa ! in ttfn,linl thin th final m..l i wn 1 m Ci rasa t.i..

A Card fram the Paswenirer. of the Meanier Uallaun. We, the undersigned passengers on the good steamer Gallatin, .which runs from Memphis to Duvall s Bluff in connection with the cars of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, bear cheerful .testimony to the fact that we made the run from Little Rock to the Bluff in something less than three hours over a good road safely and pleasantly, and witnessed the remarkable incident of the arrival of a steamboat from Memphis in less than twentv-hve hours and the cars lrom kit tle Rock making absolutely " close con nection," for as the cars ran up to the station on the bank of the river the stage nlanks of the steamer were thrown out, and the two crowds of passengers rushed up and down the blurt at the same time. This looked like business, and was busi ness, for almost before we were seated on the steamer, the cars Were sweeping away westwardlv over the beautiful prairie to ward Little Rock, and we were speeding down the riverenjoying the deliciousand lovelv breeze. The officers of the steamer are courteous and kind; we were made to feel at home. Nothing has been left undone that would add to our comfort, and we earnestly bespeak for the Galla tin the patronage which she deserves. We were astonished at the energy which marked every movement in connection with the management of the railroad and steamboat, and feel assured of the truth fulness ot the statement that the work is now being pushed through with that zeal nd commence wrncn nespeaKs cenain success.
