Gated by emigrants from Germany, the
Consul proceeds to state that he cannot

disease was not the result of infection

English newspapers say the cholera is on
the Rhine and in some localities in Spain
and France, but is not yet prevalent to
an alarming extent.

SHALL WE GO IN DEBT :

The present government OF the city OF
Memphis presents few attractions. 1t is
q general conclusion that it is not what
il should be. The public morals are
sadly ont of tune, and confidence IN the
proper administration Of justice is as
weak as the coffee we once heard of, that
had not strength enough to run down hill
The city, besides, is in debt, and the debt
from year to year must be checked out
of the pockets of the people. The pay
meut of the annual interest on it, to-
gether with the progressive reduction OF
the principal, would be of itself no slight
, burden on the people. In addition, the
expenditures Indispensable to keeping
the streets in order the bridges in re-
pair and the officials paid, cannot be
slight But it is proposed to expend
hundreds OF thousands to lay down pave
ments on the principal streets. This is
not all: We have two railroads to CON
siruct; forif they are constructed within
the next ten years, Memphis will have to
do the work How much they would
cost we are not at present prepared to
state; but it is fair to assume that the
sum would go up into the millions Where
is the money to come from ? Everybody
knows the planters along the proposed
routes are ruined, and therefore unable
to render any assistance. They have
something of more importance to claim
their attention. Before they can sub
scribe money to build railroads, they
must reconstruct their own prosperity
they must produce something and bring
it to this market and sell. Without such
productions we on this bluff cannot pros
per-cannot afford to engage in great
and expensive works. Taking all these
things into account, the money or the
credit requisite to push on our enter
prises is'too big to think Of without
smile. The whole thing is absurd.
Still, this is not all Do our Memphis
gentlemen take into account the political
state of the country? We fear not
Why, gentlemen, Tennessee and Arkan-
sas are not States, in the sense that
Northern States are. They have no
powers-no representatives in Congress,
and are under the government Of mill
tary law The very government itself is
incomplete--is unadjusted We trust
that il will be, and that speedily, but it
may never be. The worst fears force
themselves upon us when we glance
around the horizon. There is measure
cherished by some great political leaders,
which, if adopted, will crush the South
by confscating to the Government two
thirds of its property. In what condition,
then, would the people of Memphis be
left, with a debt Of millions unpaid
Poverty, ruin and wretchedness would
exist here, and everywhere We are not
disposed to press our opinions, but we do
say that, until the political status of the
South is settled, and the country brought
back to its former prosperity, the city of
Memphis had better keep out of debt

TROUBLE AT SELMA.

The military commander at Selma,
Ala, has notified the civil authorities
of that place that they must cease using
the changing or he will promptly pro-
coed against them under the Civil Rights
bill. The Mayor replies spiritedly, and
fatty refuses, saying that there is no dis
tinction Of color in the chain-gang. By
proclamation he informs the people he
will resign unless the Freedmen's Bureau
is prohibited from interfering with him.

A WARNING.

The New York Times, in reference to
an amendment to the Postoffice bill, re-
iusing to pay the President appointees,
says: This aggression, it is well TO re-
member, was wholly unprovoked 1t is
a wanton assault upon the President
Party feeling, in its most excited hour,
never went so far The large and en-
lchtened majority in the Senate, highly
exasperated with Gen. JACKSON, never
thus encroached, or attempted TO en-
croaeh upon the Executive prerogative.
II did not occur to CLAY, WEBSTER,
Ewing. MAYoUM and other eminent states
men, that the Executive could be ignored,
or that Congress could usurp the author
ity Of the President Nor can power,
thus abused, last long. Parties, like in
dividuals, can sqaander their estates.
Senators, with or without personal fitness
or popularity, who have been exempt
from responsibility while a common en-
cmy absorbed all attention, will now be
called to account A sitting process
awaits them. They cannot, as hereto
fore. secure in their places, hurl their
anathemas and fly their poisoned arrows
with impunity. Seats that have known
them so long will soon know them no
more forever.

DISAPPOINTMENT.

The rawlings of Radical editors in the
South, denote the disappointment they
feelin not succeeding in forcing their doc
trines down the throats of the Southern
people. Well, let them rave. Their
time is not long. Old inanition is after
them, galloping on lank steed whose
clashing bones make music like that Of
a rattle trap.

FLOATERs.

To the control of those who have the
power to enforce authority, such as the
officers Of the United States and the Off
GERS of the State, the Southern people
submit. But to be domineered over by
those who have Aoated down upon us
from the North to pick mp precarious
living from the remnants of property left
by the devastations of war, is quite
another matter. The Southern people
scorn their teachings, scorn their intol-
erance. scorn them.
