Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-06-09

recommended the assembling Of 3 ma
tional convention to be composed Of del
egates from all boards Of trade and cham
bers of commerce in the country to con-
slider the propriety Of general adoption
Of the Genital system. Several cities have
responded, among which we note Mil
waTfkee and Louisville. Cleveland,
| Ohio, Is the place, and the 18th Of next
July the time for holding the convention.
IL Is generally admitted that the system
! is a simple and excellent one. The only
objection to It as recently praetieed was
the fact that it was net general in its ap-
~plication throughout the country.
