Having thoroughly tested and tired these
Instruments personally for years, both in pub

to express our candid opinion regarding tuefr
unqnestioned superiority over any other
Piano known to us.
Among the chief points OF their uniform
excellence are: GJcdteSt possible depth rich

constellation of the Government See

The multiplicity of our Government secu-
rites has always been a perplexity 70 com ON
ticular description to invest; And hence any
approximation 70 a stmplihcation OF their
the public. Wehave now three series of the
Flve-Twenties, three separate issues OF the
SeVen-ThirlieS, Ten-FortteS, Skies OF 1881,
and .. s. May Coupons, and perhaps other
six and one z $40 per cent rate OF interest.
The necessity of converting all these differ
ent issues into good uniform rate paying
stock appears evident to all. And OF all the
propositions under discussion or exlmina-
ton, the plan to reduce the whole debt TO n
long five per cent loan, seems to find most
general acceptance among financial writers.
But as only a small part of the debt falls due
within the year, and that part can be easily
provided for, the country and Government
have plenty of time to mature u scheme that
shall secure the loan needed, and perhaps Mt
the low rate mentioned And the protlablli-
ties are that within the year now passing
money matters will assume phase that viii
promise an easy transition from our present
perpleXiug variety of bonds to a system more
uniform and acceptable TO the country.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 2.-The ne

zen wounding him, they also assaulted
n white woman. This morning the
Sheriff with his posse attempted to ar
rest all negroes in the city, but they fed
to fort Pickering, firing as they ran.
They were driven from the fort this
evening and sought the woods. During
the excitement seven negroes and one
citizen were killed, and a few houses
burnt. The military have been under
arms all day. All isquiet tonight, but
fears are entertained that the negroes
will attempt to burn the city, but are
groundless up to the present time. Fiji
teen blacks and four whites were killed.
The fire is still raging among the me-
gro quarters, and no effort is being
made to quench the fires.
MEMPHIS, May 3.-About thirty
houses occupied by colored people, and
ali the schoolhouses in South Memphis
were pulled down or burned last night.
Ten negroes were killed during the
day. Everything is quiet this morning.
II is hoped that order has been fully re-
stored. The negroes nearly all fled to
the woods last night, but are returning
this morning.

The hunt after Preachers.

We learn from Boonville that there
were three indictments and arrests under
the test oath, in that city, last Wednes-
day. Father Hillner. the Catholic priest,
was indicted, arrested and taken to
prison for preaching without having
taken the oath; J. W. Drafen, an at
tornev, was indicted for practicing his
profession, without having taken 1T; and
j. ". Wright, an attorney, was indicted
for falling Il The juxtaposition OF the
three several and separate cases strik-
ingly illustrates the working Of the oath,
as double-edged engine, cutting every
way, and finding victims, no less among
those who do take the oath, than among
those who lciU net take it. iAh
The case of Father Hillnor excited the
greatest interest among the citizens. de
