The NEGRO Riors IN MExPHIs.-We have pub
lished accounts of the collision between the
whites and blacks in the city of Memphis,
Tennessee. 1t appears that the municipal
affairs of the city are conducted by white men.
The police regulations are shaped accordingly.
The military, however, are mostly blacks; and
the city is, in a measure under black military
law. There is but small detachment of United
States regulars (part Of the Eighteenth regi-
ment) in the city. The accounts furnished give
us q list of killed and wounded, black and
white; list of casualties that would have been
considered in Europe the beginning of revo.
mtionary outbreak; but we find the case diff.
ferent in this instance. While the whites and
blacks were fighting, there stepped in a COM
pany of United States regulars, and under their
bayonets order and peace were restored.
This black riot in Memphis should teach
Congress and the War Department lesson. II
mat be that this riot is TO be repeated in oil
parts of the South where negro troops
are stationed. We hope not But no one can
be blind to the fact that there will be difficulty
in carrying out any plan of reconstruction II
those two hostile elements, no doubt purposely
placed so by the radicals, black military
force to overawe loyal white population,
come together In the Memphis business we
see that a small detachment Of United States
regulars suppressed all difficulties Is II not
better, then, to have in all disquieted districts
the negro troops withdrawn and their places
supplied by United States resulars' If one
regular is worth hundred black soldiers the
United States Treasury will gain much by the
exchange, and the country be saved from such
outrages as have lately occurred in Me1lphis
The subject is worthy the consideration Of Con-
grcss and the War Department

accommodation. They are huddled together
like slaves in the pen of q slave trader. The
appearance of these poor creatures when they
land shows plainly how they have been treated.
The wonder is, not that the cholera or ship fever
which was engendered on board lately and
which has created 80 much anxiety in the city,
made its appearance, but we may be surprised
that it has not killed more of the emigrants.
The shipping merchants are reaping rich har-
vest by this trade, and they are so greedy Of
gain that they lose sight of humanity, decency
and public opinion. We call upon Congress-
therefore, to pass a law without delay regulat-
ing the transportation of emigrants, fixing the
number that each vessel may carry according
to its tonnage and measurement, and prescrib-
ing such rules as the comfort and health of
the emigrants require. Not only does humani-
ty demand such an act, but 1t is to our interest
to make the voyage across the Atlantic as safe
and agreeable as possible. The sufferings and
danger from disease which have come to our
notice lately are calculated 10 Brighten those
who are disposed to emigate from undertaking
the voyage. II is 10 our interest to promote
emigration, and consequently to provide for
the safety and comfort Of the emgrants as far
as this can be done by legislation.
There Is another view of this subject relative
to emigration which our shipping merchants
and Congress ought to consider. We see by
the number Of vessels employed what an ex.
tensive and profitable business II il. Yet all
this is done by foreigners, and by English ship
pers chiefly. Why is 1t that we do not have
the business, or at least large portion of II ?
There might have been some reason for letting
foreigners take this and other shipping BUSH
ness from us during the war; but there Is no
reason why we should not have at least share
Of it now. Cannot we build as good vessels
and sail them as we'll and "a cbeaply rs the
English or any othersi No doubt there are
many other more profitable ways of using
capital here than abroad; but this Is profitable
also, and our national pride and character for
enterprise call upon MS TO renew the former
maritime rivalry with other nations, and espe-
cially in connection with the immense and in.
creasing emigration to our own country. Will
our shipping merchants and shipbuilders turn
their attention to the ssbject' Congress, too.
ought to do something to promote the shipping
interest, and this business in particular. What
ever can be done lesitimasely, by mail con-
tracts or by laws favoring our own mercantile
marine over that Of other nations, should be
done promptly and literally. Let US promote
emigration, protect the emigrants, and give q
new impulse to the shipping interests of the
country.

DOCTORS DIsAGREEING ABOUT THE CHOLERA
We make room this morning for several com;
munications from allopathic and homeopathic
physicians in regard to the cholera. It would
be quite useless for us to give any opinion as
to the merits of the question which these cor
respondents discuss Just as there are differ
cnt sects in religion, go there are different
schools Of medicine, and any attempt to recon-
cile them before the millennium will be impos-
sible. The allopathists will always believe
that the homeopathists administer water and
sugar instead of medicines, and the homeo-
pathlsts will always believe that the allopath-
lists scare and dose people to death with their
powerful purgatives and emetics. 1t is our
opinion that the less anybody has to do with
doctors the better. II the homeopathists can
cure cholera more surely, easily and quickly
than the allopathists the public will soon find il
out, and vice versa /; but II the Board of Health
is to give an equal chance to all the physicians,
the hydropathists, the clairvoyants, the mes
mcrists, the Thompsonians, the herbalists, the
Swedish curers, the sangrados and the patent
medicine men ought to have their share.

art, having had considerable experience in
watching the city railroads, could be detailed
to look after the several tines. In the discharge
of this duty he discovers a car so densely
packed with men, women and children that an
arm sticks out of one place, head here and
leg there, something after the order in which
calves were transported through the
streets before the society Of which he is a
member was organized. This as matter of
course he declares to be a gross cruelty to
animals, and at once hauls up the company for
trial. Thus it will be seen that great good can
be accomplished and the city relieved from
many Of the unpleasant scenes which are now
daily transpiring. There is certainly wide
field for our public spirited men to display
their genius and perform great service to the
city, much to the benefit of those animals which
are daily suffering from the cruelties practised
upon them.

The great tide of immigration that has been
setting in lately on our shores and that in
creases in volume every month as the summer
advances, has not received the attention it
merits. Within the last month, ending April
30, there arrived at this port alone from Europe
twenty thousand four hundred and seventy-eight
emigrants. Ten thousand six hundred of these
came from Liverpool, and nearly seven thou
sand from the ports Of Bremen and Hamburg.
The first were mostly Irish, and the latter were

ty-eight sailing vessels were employed in con-

aroused to America, and the thousands
of letters that are going by every
mail from the brothers, sisters, parents, chill
dren and friends of people in Europe, who are
settled here, convey information of the bound
lessness of our resources and the glory of the
country. Every arrival, therefore, is the advance
guard of larger body. With the full restora-
ton of peace and harmony in the United States
this tide must continue to swell. There is room
enough and to spare for all Europe here, and
we can scarcely conjecture what the emigra-
