Conaietfng Jurisdictioa-A Horrible
Case.

There lies, in a dilapidated clubhouse,
on Shelby street, tine fostering corpse Of
negro woman. Six days ago she died.
The disease that proved fatal istoO loath-
some to be named. Maddened by excru-
ciatiug torture, the miserable woman,
ten days ago, had torn from her rotting
body the last Tag that concealed her hid.
eous nakedness Tie stencil that rose
from the filthy hovel in which she lin
gered Oh in solitude had become insuffer-
able long before death perfnmed the air
with carrion stencil. People living hard
by sent food to the starving, wretched,
abandoned negress; but servants ate it,
and dreaded approach to that dying,
cursing, maddened weman., Death was
the kindest friend she ever knew. There
she lies, even yet, and death is the only
watcher that bends over her polluted
form. No prayers were uttered for her
departing soul; no tears shed when ago.
nies of dissolution racked her contorted
frame. Her eyeballs brrst from their
sockets. Her tongue was severed by her
gnashing teeth. Her features, all dis
torted, and body wrenched, she died
more horribly. if present appearance at
test her anguish, than any victim OF ln-
uuisition. In solitude she died. For
days 10 human being had entered that
abode ofpeuury, ignorance and sin. And
there lies the festering reeking corpse,
polluting the air Of and sickening, as this
recital, to every passer by.
The Freedmen's Bureau declares 1t no
part of their duty to remove the corpse.
Municipal authorities assert that the nn-
happy negress was protege of the Bu-
reau, brought hero under the operations
of its system. The corpse rots on, while
the discussion progresses, and if it
should last few more days, the megress
body will have passed to the lungs of the
denizens of South Memphis. She will
thus have found living grave.

The war i'm south ameriea.

In South America there is always q military
Situation" of some kind for the study OF those who
feel an interest In war for itself but to one who
looks at it from higher position Of observation.
as meaiis OF redressing wrongs, emancipating
races overthrowing false and injurious ideas, and
the like, and only justifable such ground, there
s little that is attractive or worthy OF inyestiga
ton in these petty wars Of the mongrel South
American races, which continually keep open the
doors OF their Temples OF Janus. just now, how
ever, eve there G is a war wagng between Paraguay on
the one side, and the allied States Of Brazil, the
Argentine Republic, and Uruguay, on the other,
which has assumed more than ordinary impor-.
tance, and possesses very considerable degree Of
interest
The war arises out OF the long-determined and
seish desire OF Brazil to extend her boundaries to
the Rio de 10 Plata, on the south and the Uruguay
on the west. Such an acquisition Of territory
would give Brazil control Of ]a Plata, and the fer
tile lands which that large stream and her tribu-
tar;es drain, tract OF land 20 GOO square miles in
extent. Tho Argentine Republic though it is the
natural enemy OF Brazil, and has had no end Of
contests with its comparatively powerful neighbor
comes into the scheme, which would seem to offer
the republic few immediate advantages, while Il
would give the empire nm ovorshadowing influence
to repossess Paraguay, which once belonged to
the confederation, and open to improvement and
development the whole northern territory Of the
confederation, now shut ont by the narrow minded
ard restrictive policy Of Paraguay, with regard to

THE COTTON CROP.
have seen 30 many crude statements about old
cotton crops Of the South, the probable stock on

crop, to come to market, that have been to the
trouble Of looking up tho cxact figures. You
know that this industry and trade have been 30
important to our port for many years, that We
have kept daily, weekly, monthly and yearly the
most accurate accounts of it. large number Of
careful men are constantly employed on the SUBJ

figures cen scarcely be wrong. In default Of the
exact; figures, these same mon are equally adopts
at estimates, and often these estimates have va

and sales. Many, in fact, are 30 well acquainted
with the planting region that itwould be very diff
