The WEEKLY LEDGER contains all the city news of the week, under important the respective dates. Forthree months, DAILY, WEEKLY, 75 cents. THE MISSISSIPPI CONTEST.

According to the Mississippi papers the contest in that State for political supremacy waxeth warm--indeed we may venture to employ so extreme a term as hot. Both parties have their machinery well oiled and in operation: The Reporter, at Holly Springs, says the Radicals go to their meetings with pistols buckled round their bodies. This fact indicates a good deal of heat on that side. It indicates that the foolish have been stimulated to the negroes point of murder by desperate men, and that one of their number who shall vote, or attempt to 'vote, the Democratic ticket, may lose his wool, if not his mortal coil. The Reporter inquires whether these warlike demonstrations are intended for riotous purposes, and tells the white Radicals of Holly Springs that they are pursuing an unwise and dangerous step The white people of Marshall county entertain no hatred against the colored people, and nothing but the foolish course of the colored 'brow-beaters' of Holly Springs can provoke a riot bethe races.

The white voters intween tend to still endure, with patience, the insults and wrongs that have been heaped upon them by the white carpetbaggers and scallawags; they intend to endure until a happy deliverance is vouchsafed them at the ballot-box. in November. They intend to convince the colored voters that it is to their interest, no less than ours, that these bad these stirrers-up of strife, should be men, hurled from power. We ask the white Radicals to beware; they may evoke a storm that they will be powerless to subdue. The time has passed when the colored men in the conntry can be intimidated by a crowd of armed men from Holly There is a strong disposition on the part of thousands of colored voters to vote the Democratic ticket, and thanks to the pluck of the Democracy and Conservatives, they will do it, and with safety.

They will be protected at every hazard. Now, as a matter of course, the Radical leaders--under whose feet the sands of power are drifting away--know that unless the colored voters can be brought in mass to vote their ticket, their party is beaten and they are ruined. But we think the fears of our cotemporary are not well founded. The lenders of the Radical party, if they had the disposition inaugurate a war of races, are too politic to think seriously of so desperate and so dangerious a measure. We expect a peaceful election in Mississippi, a splendid Democratic victory and several thousand "new departures" from the State-an exodus that will be memorable for years.

BUTLER ON THE RAMPAGE. That great Massachusetts gas-bag, Ben Butler, punctured himself at Springfield a day or two since. His attacks were directed to those who dwell within the charmed circle of his party, He singled out his enemies by name, and yelled defiance in their ears. One Hawley telegraphs to say that his reference to him was false. One of the conduc.

tors of the Springfield Republican threw the word "false" in his teeth. Never quailing, nor pausing, the universal beast went on, cutting and slashing and weeding his way through the ranks of his enemies. We desire to see that storm thrive, expand in volume, and thunder and roar on to the death within that charmed circle. If there is any way of feeding it, let it be fed. In such 3 case the man who should consel peace would deserve death--political, of course.

LAW OF DIVORCE. The Union and American publishes the dissenting opinion of Judge Turney, of our Supreme Bench, in the case of Lanier vs. Lanier, upon the subject of divorce, and, remarks: "This opinion has been extensively published and hasprovoked much comment both from the religious and secular press. It bears the marks of that boldness of thought for which Judge Turney is He takes the position that the Bible is the foundation of our civil jurisprudence as shown by the fact that no one, however much esteemed among men, can be inducted into office, or even testify in any court of justice, who does not believe in God. And, that being the basis of our social and political system, it is the higher law to which the civil law must yield whenever they confliet.

Therefore, inasmuch as the Bible expressly prohibits the of divorces for any cause save granting adultery, the new causes. laid down by modern legislation, and which are yearly in conflict with divine increasing, are void." Judge Turney's view of law and the divorce question is not singular, but behind the progressive spirit of the far maintain that that which is in age. To the divine law is void, is to conflict with maintain that every other page of our books contains void matter. In statute legislation no respect 1 is our modern obsolete a thing as the divine paid to so And who, if Judge Turney is law. are to expound that law? The right, of course.

The result would be Courts, and law would come in conthat divinity flict, and in nine tenths of cases, divinity and leave the law out in the would win cold. GOOD FOR MARYLAND. Political affairs in Maryland, look The Washington Herald's adbright. vices represent that in the present political campaign the Democrats, ignoring but complete harmony, and everything consequent overwhelming success, are work with the greatest vigor in about to achieve these results. The order to which meets once in two this convenes next winLegislature, years in State, ter, and although there will very the likely lower be a few Radicals elected in counties, the Herald says leading gentleof the Democratic party believe men that there will not be any colored members among them.

This is the true policy of the Democratic party everywhere. everything but harmony; that is Ignore the doctrine. Without harmony there is not the remotest chance to beat Grant next year. We may discuss questions that divide the Democracy until all the types wear out, and all the oratorical tongues are blistered, and still nothing will be accomplished. Yes, something will be accomplishedthe Democracy will be beaten.

No future event is more certain. We should have no quarrels among ourselves. Let enemies fight over the spoils. Let our us aggravate their divisions as they attempt to aggravate ours. But whatever we do, let us make it our principal 'business to be harmonious.

Let a Democrat who refuses to be harmonious, have harmony thrust upon him. TENNESSEE GOLD. There is gold in East Tennessee. The editor of the Sweetwater Enterprise, who has recently visited the mines on Coker creek, says: The prospect is very fine, and when the companies now there get their machinery in operation, we look for an abundant yield of gold. We know there is gold there, for we saw it.

And it is as good as any that was ever dug from the earth. There is more money needed. Who will invest af few dollars there, from which they are certaie to realize many? Come along, gentlemen, and help to develop the rich minerals imbedded in the mountains and valleys of our country. EXPOSED. The Jackson Clarion publishes the ritual of the Loyal League.

That paper says: Among other things which its victims are required to swear is, that they will vote for, and none but, those who advocate the principles of the League;" and that if ever called to fill any office they will faithfully carry, out the principles of the They are not permitted to exercise freeman's inalienable right of free election. And, further, in order to make this tyrant's edict a perpetnal yoke induced upon the of those who may be to that no member League shall be take it upon themselves, it is decreed absolved from the obligation imposed in its ritual." To give significance to the order and its fearful intent and decrees, the sword, an instrument of strife, revenge and bloodshed, is employed 38 3 fitting symbol. Ix his speech at Loveland, Mr. Pendleton, said: Put the Democratic party in power. It has no new promises to make, no new pledges to give.

It will remember its organization and its traditions, its principles and policy as they have been proclaimed in resolutions and illustrated in practice. It will reform abuses; it will punish corruption; it will restore purity to legislation and honesty to administration; it will be just to the public creditor and honest to the taxit will pay the debt in the manpayer; ner and at the time promised. It will forbid all usurpations of power. It will maintain constitutional government, It will obey; it will exact from all obedience to the Constitution and to all the amendments. all It the will States, restore and self ernment to bring about an era of harmonious union, of real prosperity, of true liberty.

THE Banner says: The next fall fair of the Tennessee Agricultural and Mechanical Association, at Nashville, will be very appropriate occasion for a general convention of the farmers from all parts of the State. A "new departure" in the modes and ideas of husbandry is essentially required, and no better time could be fixed from which to date a complete revolution in the present antiquated and comparatively unproductive sort of farming to which we have been accustomed in the past. As exchange says: "Abe Lilliard, up in Polk county, is realizing forty dollars per acre from his watermelon crop this season, from land that is not worth more than five dollars per acre. This is another evidence that our poorest soil can be made to yield a handsome profit by proper cultivation." It is difficult to understand how an acre of land that will yield forty dollars per annum, is only worth five dollars. A TENNESSER paper says: Ham Russell, who formerly lived two miles west of Cleveland, one day last week, near Sweetwater, in Monroe county, killed seventy garter snakes upon ten feet of ground, and says it wasn't square a good day for snakes either." At last advices Mr.

Ham Russell was doing well. LATEST TELEGRAMS. Specials to the Ledger. AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, VIA B. P.

A. TELEGRAPH COMPANY. FRANCE. LYONS, Aug. announcement that the Government had finally decided on the disbandonment of the National Guards has created a serious commotion here.

The Nationals at present posted in this city are violently opposed to the disbandonment, and are preparing to resist the order should it be enforced. The officers have in many instances joined in the cause with the troops. An insurrection is generally believed to be imminent. The citizens are much alarmed at the determined attitude of the Nationals, and the most serious conare apprehended should a sequences collision occur in the event of the Government attempting to effect the proposed force. ENGLAND.

LONDON, August Bulletin states that the Prefect of Lyons denies that disturbances are apprehended among the Nationals if disbandonment was enforced. The civic authorities can preserve order. The English and American Governments have chosen Count Corti as third arbitrator on the treaty to decide the not immediately connected questions with the Alabama claims. SPAIN. MADRID, August people are greatly excited by the rumored Carlists rising.

The rumor is generally credited and is causing much anxiety. The government has ordered the immediate concentration of troops at Pomphellia, where the Carlist feeling is dangerously popular. Government is informed that Carlist spies are busy all over the country. If an attempt is made it will probably fail in all, save a few localities. Carlistism is regarded as a dead cause.

SOUTH AMERICA. LONDON, August advices from South America are received. The rebellion in Uruguay, which for a long time promised to be formidable, has been crushed, and a general amnesty extended by the government to the rebels. General Medire, a prominent rebel, was killed during the final engagement. Accident on the Iron Mountain Railroad.

ST. LoUIs, August night at twenty minutes to ten o'clock, when the mail train bound north on the Iron Mountain railroad was just below Jefferson Barracks, it struck a short piece of rail imperfectly spiked. The engine, express car and front trucks of the bag. gage car, caught and tore it up, throwing the several cars following from the track. The spot at which it occurred is one of the worst on the road, it being directly on the bank of the river, and but for the fact that the train was moving at a moderate rate, the ladies' car, smoking car, and Blood patent car, must have gone over the bank into the water.

The couplings did not break; and although the ladies' car was turned over on its side, and two others thrown A short distance down the bank, they were not badly damaged. The passengers, with the exception of one lady, escaped injury. She had one of her limbs bruised, but was not so seriously hurt as to prevent her walking to the station. Several of the baggagemen and breakmen were pitched down the bank, and one of the latter was considerably bruised by the fall. The mail train was followed by an excursion train of ten coaches, closely filled with the teachers of the National Association, returning, after having spent the day at Iron Mountain.

The train was signalled and stopped in time, but was so delayed that the teachers did not reach here until three o'clock this morning. is the 200th application in a week. Go to the devil! I can't hire every d-d fool." That's what they say Mr. Greeley wrote to a man who asked for a situation. The receiver couldn't make it out, so he took it down to the Tribune counting-room, and the cashier, supposing it an order for $200, paid him that sum.

The mistake was not discovered until Horace came to draw his week's salary of $200, and found his account already overdrawn. So they say. A WASHINGTON special says the Republicans, are so hard pressed in Pennsylvania that, in addition to the regular monthly leave of one month, the Radical clerks from that State are to have ten days leave so as to go home and vote next October. For all that, the frauds of Evans, and other Radical agents, are considered certain to give the State to the Democrats. Ir is said that D.

H. Craig, late eral agent of the New York Associated Press, has perfected his new system of telegraphy, to the development of which he has been devoting his time and means for three years past, with results that can hardly fail to effect an entire revolution in telegraphy, by reducing its costs to a rate very little above the present rates of postage. THE wit of the Courier Journal has this ungallant squib: "When Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the great transcontinental equestrienne who descended into the Yosemite Valley astraddle of 3 mule, ran for Congress against James Brooks she received eight 1 votes. About half the men who voted for her have since died. The wonder is that the whole of them didn't die long before." THE Gatlin gun candidate for the Radical nomination for President, has appointed the notorious Ashley Minister to Brazil.

A BREEZE, smelling of sulphur, is springing up between Russia and Prussia. The Czar has issued an imperial ukase permanently abolishing privileges formerly extended to German colonists in Russia. At any other time this would not appear singular, but now, upon the heels of Germany's great victory over France, it is very suggestive. Tun negroes of Aberdeen, Mississippi, attempted a riot the other day. The Mayor called on the garrison for protection.

The officer told the rioters that if they did not disperse, he would blow daylight through them. Not fancying the introduction of daylight into their persons--in that particular manner, 1 they dispersed. BOUNTY frauds still continue to be developed in the Pension Office, and the work is not through. Fraud to the right of you! Fraud to the left of you! Fraud everywhere!

Wilted the man who complains of wilting down in torrid weather what he has done to sustain his system under the extra strain imposed on his vitality.

Under such treatment, of course, his strength has given way, and his energies have become exhausted. What he requires is a restorative, not a depletant. His blood is thin: his nerves have lost their natural tension, and nature demands to be renovated and reinforced. The means is within the reach of all.

For nearly a score of years, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been building up broken constitutions, bracing and strengthening attenuated frames, and affording comfort, ease and hope to thousands. As a preventive of the epidemics which make such havoc with the health of the inhabitants of new settlements, this famous tonic is certainly without a rival. Perhaps the princi pal portion of its world-wide fame is attributable to its astonishing cures of dyspepsia and all forms of indigestion. But these are not a moiety of its triumphs. All the types of biliousness yield to its persistent use.

It is a regulating medicine of the highest order; and its effect upon the secretions, when irregular, is most salutary. Imposition of the grossest character is sought to be practiced upon: the community by vendors, who recommend der the name of bitters," fiery compounds of a dangerous character, which they attempt to substitute for the great natienal tonic.
