chequer says of us:-
az must confess that think the flu
ture of America, as far as finance is
now in question-will not be attended
with any embarrassment. i do not
believe the debt will constitute any
difficulty for the American people"
he shows that nearly all the great
nations of Europe, and many OF the
small ones, are overwhelmed with
debt-debt amounting to about II, 5OO,-
100000. The debt of England is abont
1000, OO0, 900, and the debts of the CONT
Mental nations amount to 1000, 00O. 600,
and this is increased at the yearly rate
OF 800, OOO, 900. It is a wonder, in the
face OF such a record as this, how peo-
pie or governments can tolerate expen-
sive wars. But individuals are often
as reckless as governments in their
financial affairs. Lord sRodesdnle, in
a recent speech In the, House OF Lords,
upon the operations of some of the
large houses which hive recently fail
ed in London, stated the fact that the
parties negotiating for the extension of
n railway line issued two hundred doll
lars worth offull paid stock on the
payment of one hundred and five dol
lars, In this manner about three mil
lions were raised mt the sncri-
flee of a little over two millions and a
half. te@
This Is the way to fail. Another
house paid half n million sterling for
the good name of the firm OF Quincy d.
Co.. and established a capital of dive
millions sterling upon one and a half
millions paid in. Thisi5 another way
TO fail aud probably the stockholders
viii be liable for the three million and
half difference. - .st,..s sa.f-t -

 Bsr- We have already announced, says the Memphis Avalanche, breach between Wilson and Sumner. The fight promises to be terrible one. The papers of Mas sachusetts are arraying themselves under the respective banner of the belligerents. Sumner and Wilson have certainly clinch- ed in the struggle for power May they pound each others ugly face into a jelly may they pull each others hair may they gouge out each others eyes-may they bite off each others noses-may they choke each other till their lying tongues hang out of their dirty mouths-may they mash in each others ribs and tear out each others hearts--may they kick each other with a hundred horse power, and their feet be covered with sharp-toed iron boots and steel brogans-may they turn to couple of Kilkenny cats, and fight and bite and scratch until they eat each other up; and when their worthless lives become extinct may the devil, with all the mighty host oi hell, turn out in one grand cavalcade to welcome home his faithful and efficient ambassadors.

President J0hns0ns Policy Abroad.

The London Times of the 9th makes the following comment on the veto mes. sage:
 The President of the United States has just refused his assent to bill passed by both Houses of Congress, and has thus brought the Executive and Legislative powers of the Republic into direct colli- sion with each other. The exercise of au- thority he has justified in long and elab- crate message, of which, it is not, we think, too much to say, that it establishes, com pletoly and absolutely, the wisdom of his decision The question at issue concerned an institution long designated as peculiar to the Southern States of the Union, but the event which have recently transpired in our own colony of Jamacia, will enable us to understand with very little difficulty the conflict in America.
 It is said the public had testified their approval of an act designed to express the determined opposition of the President to sectional and oppressive legislation. Nor should we expect less from the good sense and judgment of the American people In this country, the courage and decision ex- hibiled by Mir. Johnson, will confirm the respect in which his policy has been held, and will entitle him to credit as one of the ablest statesmen who have ever conducted great nation successfully through peril ous crisis, by frmness, moderation and wisdom.

- -One-half of the volunteer force in Texas have deserted. General Custer, knowing that the trial for desertion was farce, tried every humane way to save his army from going to pieces, but failed. He then tried new way :; and fogged several men and shaved their heads. This had the desired effect, but brought down the friends of these soldiers upon him, who charge him with being disloyal, inhuman, and everything that is bad
 A TRUE PRoPHEcY.-The prophecy of Daniel Webster, in regard to matters in ease certain class of politicians obtained control of affairs, has proved too true. In glancing at the future of the country, he said:

nas- An extensive fire occurred vester

H0E- An extensive fire occurred yester- day morning, says the Memphis Avalanche of the 27th inst, between two and three o'clock, on Vance street, between Causey and St. Martin, causing the destruction of several buildings The only buildings saved in the block were the tenements on the corner of Causey and the bakery on the corner of St. Martin, with the adjoin- ing building. The large mill owned by Mr. James, was entirely consumed, which is quite loss, as his machinery was quite valuable Who the other sufferers were we have not ascertained. The timely ar rival of the fire department, and the wind changing, arrested the progress of the flames, which at one time seemed to defy the efforts of our gallant fremen. Gran vile White, Esq, and John Henry, Esq, were on the ground and rendered effective service, the latter injuring his leg quite seriously. The morning was bitter cold, and 1t was deplorable sight tosee women and children fleeing from their burning homes, half clad, out into the piercing wind; furniture broken and family relics destroyed hy the unpitying and devouring element.

 We have need of action now Our soci ety must be improved The affections and sympathies of the people that have, by common woe, been made stronger than iron, must be kept alive by harmonious exertion for the accomplishment of noble purposes. Let us then be up and doing. Let us build school houses and churches, that the intellectual man may be strength ened, the morals of our country improved Let us to the work of constructing Rail Roads, that the valleys of the east and the mountains of the west may be brought to- gether; and under the broad wings of these enterprises, society will take new form, and to us will be unfolded, that we may read in letters of living light, the glo- rious destiny that awaits us as a people.

The New Atlantic Cable.

Active preparations for laying the new Atlantic cable next summer are making in England. As at present arranged, the Great Eastern will carry the new cable, will lay 1t to Newfoundland will there coal and return to the mid-Atlantic, where she will, with her consorts, grapple for the lost end. the locality of which can be ascertained within quarter of mile, through the observations taken last summer by Capt. Anderson and Capt Moriar- ty. It is not intended that the part of the old cable which now lies on the Great Eastern s tanks shall be again slowed in her hold on the outward trip. It will be carried in another vessel until it is needed
 When the end is recovered and a message sent through to Valentia as test of the elect rical condition, the splice will be made with the cable now lying in the Great Eastern, and then all will be plain sailing, except in case of another accident similar to that of last year, when all would have to be done over again; but this would be the worst damage.
 If one grapplng is successful, there is no reason why second should not be, and even a
 
 The laying of the old cable may therefore be considered certainty, so far as anything about cable laying can be considered certain. But hope deferred will probably not make sick the hearts of shareholders beyond next July.
 The new cable which is to be laid first, is very different in appearance from that of 1865. That was black, but not at all comedy. This is fair to see, in point of color, but rough withal, and fbrey-to coin word for the oc- casion. But, save that there is no dark com position soaked in the manilla hemp which forms the covering of the cutter wires, this cable is identical with the last. So far, how ever, as strength goes, the new rope will bear a strain of from Is cwt, to a ton more than that of the last. About 100 miles of the new cable have been already made, and when all the machinery Is set to work, as i, soon will be, the manufacture will proceed at the rate of 100 miles per week.

FRUIT DESTROYED IN NORTHERN OHIo--The sandusky. Register says: "The warm wea- ther immediately preceding the cold snap, caused the peach buds to swell to such degree that when the cold spell came they were killed. It is thought by competent judges that the peach crop will be an entire failure throughout this section of the country. Cherries have also been greatly damaged and with the ex- ception of few varieties, the buds are des- troyed." The Toledo Blade says: "We conr versed day or two ago with a gentleman of experience in fruit growing who has made ex- tensive observations. He informs us that he has no doubt the peach crop in this vicinity is entirely destroyed"
 TAXING CoTTON.-At various times we have received the intimation from Washington to the effect that Congress would levy an export tax on cotton of five cents pound The Revenue Commission would desire it. There is only one difficulty in the way, and that is that the Consultation expressly forbids the levy of lch tax.

sippi and Tennessee Railroad to Grenada,
was the effect Of that antagonism to
Memphis, developing and facilitating the
trade Of a very fertile region of North
Mississippi-while Holly Springs con-
tinues to come 10 Memphis as of yore.
So, now, Of this antagonisdc project of
diverting the prolOngation South Of
the St Louis and Iron Mountain Rail-
road from its natural point Of crossing
the Mississippi river at Memphis, TO
Columbus, and thus throw the trade and
travel Of st. Louis and the Northwest on
the Mobile and Ohio and the Mississippi
Central, it VIII but stimulate and insure
the earlier completion Of the airline
route through Arkansas. IT as some
suppose, it is an emanation Of the
chronic hostility of the President of the
Mobile and Ohio road towards Memphis,
we, for one, are rather obliged TO him
than otherwise for putting the spur 10
Memphis energy. Ii will result, a. all
such imaginary a~ntagonisms have re-
sulted-in the development Of the
country, and the maintenance Of the
centers Of trade indicated by nature.
Should the Iron Mountain road be eX-
tended to Columbus, so much the better.
A region of country now cut OFF from the
world, and unproductive, viii be devel-
oped, and pour its rich treasures into the
common stock while the road through
Arkansas, opening up an almost AIRLINE
between st. Louis and New Orleans, will
be built all the sooner, and with a like
effect Of the stroke Of the Prophet upon
the rock Of Horeb, causing undreamed Of
fountains Of trade to gush forth into the
lap Of Memphis.
And so, we are by no means p]erturbed
by these railroad ~jealousies and antsgo-
nistic projects. On the contrary, we
rather like them. They spur the dull
public spirit Of those who are able to build
railroads, but would rather some one else's
money should be employed in doing it.
They develop and improve the whole
country, and, in the end, from a general
effect an individual and local good Our
Chamber of Commerce, in opening up a
correspondence with the Chamber OF
Commerce Of St Louis, and in putting
the matter Of q future meeting of citizens
in charge Of a committee, have done
well. 1t is the beginning Of an end full
Of good to the country at large and to
Memphis in particular.

s@~ A Washington dispatch a v the
trial of Gen. Baker before the Circuit
Court has DEVELOPED some interesting
facts relative to the detective system and
pardon brokerage. It appears from the
testimony of Lieut.. Hine that he was de-
tailed by the Assistant Secretary OF
Wsr anu placed at the disposal of Gen.
Baker, and directed TO act under his or
ders. He was introduced to AIRS. Cobb,
as Capt. Harrell - as a Confederate
officer who was seeking for a pardon.
She told him that she had great facilities
for getting pardOns, but would not tell
him what influence she had used. Lieut..
Hine then drew up a statement
signed as Clarence J. Harrell, affixed a
spurious magistrate'snamea and presented
it to Mrs. Cobb, who remarked that any
thing could he done with money. A
pardon was procured. The money paid
10 her had been marked, and this was
found on her person and taken from her.
1t was part of the money used to detect
the pardon brokerage business. The wit
ness acknowledged that he had made
a false statement TO her during the pro-
ceedings. Judge Hughes counsel for
Mrs Cobb, said it was a conspiracy, and
in order TO break up a legitimate bust
ness, these self-constituted guardians of
the honor Of the Government induced
the lady 10 the very thing they pro-
fessed to be anxious to break UP, The
case was continued,
