THE MEMPHIS RIOTS.

The Secretary OF War to-day sent to the
House, in compliance with aIesolution OF that
body, the reports of Gen. SLOVENIAN in regard
to the Memphis riots.
Gen Stoneman, after giving the history of
the riots, concludes as follows -" As before
stated. the rioters were composed of the DO.
lice, firemen and the rabble, and negro.h aters
IN general, with a sprinkling of Yankee ha-
'erS, all led on and encouraged by demagogues
and Office hunters, and most OF them under the
influence OF whisky. 1t appears in evidence

oosGsrss AND THE wAsHrsaros oIrr

Editor Star: In the late proceedings Of Con-
eress on the question OF disposing OF the City
Canal TO so-called sewerage company from
abrCa I'D, the Hon. Chairman Of the House Com
mittee for this District is reported TO have said
that the company will within thirty days after
the passage Of the bill for giving the canal to
the said company, have the canal flooded with
q living stream of water, which shall have
depth at all times Of at least ten feet In this
the Hon. Chairman makes a very great mis-
take, and states what is not possible to be ac-
eompiished in so short time, and what by
the bill Is not contemplated to be accomplished
at any time. II providrs Tor the ultimate exca.
Walton of the canal TO such depth that the wa
ter shall be ten feet deep at high tide only, and
cons, that its depth at other
tide may fall and this Is not expected to be
accomplished IN less time than something be-
tween one and two years. All that the bill
provides for, ard ali that the proposed corpor.
arors promise to 90 within thirty days after
the passage Of the bill, (see section IA is to
have stream Of fresh water flow through the
canal. The size or magnitude of this stream is
not named, nor even alluded to; hence, the
smallest quantity OF flowing water that may
be called stream will answer the terms of this
part OF the bill. even though it may be wholly
inanequate TO improve the sanitary condition
OF the canal, and although il should Re q thou.
sand fold less than will be surely and speedily
accomplished by the plan now being rapidly
executed by the city authorities.
lt-is hoped that the Hon Chairman OF the
Committee for this District will not do any.
thing TO prejudice the interests of the city un.
der his care; and if he will but inform himself
OF what the city is really doing towards i'm
proving the canal. he will readily that
there is not the least occasion for interference
In our affairs on the part of a foreign sewerage
company. We have, OF ourselves, unaided
from any quarter, devised plan that is ap-
proved by the highest authority: which is ex-
pected to be of great importance to the CITY, as
well as to the General Governments the first
and most important part of which will be In
operation In a few days; and we desire TO CON-
plete II by and for ourselves and for the Gen
eral Government, and not for the benefit of
mere spectators.
If this sewerage company is really very anx.
Ious to promote the public Interests by securing
through navigation 10 New York, then let
them confine their attention to opening canal
from this place to Annapolis, which will AZ
ford them abundant occupation for several
years and which we venture to assert cannot
and will not be done. In the meantime the
city will take care of its own canal. without
any &ld from them. JUSTICE.

LIEUT.. GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT

We briefly announced III the .Sur OF yester-
day tie death AZ West Point, New YORK. of
the veteran Winfield Scott, late Lieut.. Gen
eral Of the army. Gen. Scott would in few
more days have attained the age of eighty
years, as he was born on q farm near Peters
burg, Va, or the 18th day Of June. 17s6. He
was Of Scotch descent, was left an orpban in
MS boyhood, was educated al William and
Mary College, and studied law. After a few
years practice CT tina. profession, he was an.
POINTED IN ISIS captain of the light artillery.
ana was stationed At Baton Rouge. La in the
division commanded by General Wilkinson
In July, 1872. he was advanced to the rank OF
lieutenant colonel and ordered TO the Canada
frontier. His gallant conduct and valuable
services in the campaigns OF the next two or
three years; his acts Of heroism at Chippewa.
Lunoy's Lane, and elsewhere; the wounds he
received, and his well inherited promotion: are
matters Of history, and need not be enlarged
upon here.
The service ne subsequently rendered to the
country in sUbduing the hostile Indians, who
threatened the peace Of the country, was in.
calculable. But If he had been previously un.
known TO fame, his brief but brilliant Mexican
campaign in lsi7, would have immortaiized
HIM. The series Of victories from his landing
at Vera Cruz, with 1900 men, on the 9th of
March. in that year, to the time of his trium.
plant entry into the City OF Mexico, on the I4tn
day Of September, was unparalleled, and
aroused the enthusiasm OF our people, and ex
cited the wonoer and admiration Of Europe.
While the military renown Of the gallant
soldier will perpetuate his fame, the patriot.
ism which led him to resist all Establishments.
and stand by his country in her hour of peril
Snas endeared his name to his countrymen, and
1lI be remembered with gratitude by their
