CAPITAL

There is s proposition now before the
Legislature f0r the encouragement Of
capital to Tennessee that we hope will
receive the consent Of ali the members
Of that body and become s lsw. The bill
under consideration provides for the ex-
emption from tax OF all capital embarked
in manufactures, for q term Of years.
Nothing could more timely offer than this.
We learn from gentlemen from Middle
Tennessee that recently quite a number
Of capitalists from the North have been
prospecting in that and the eastern
division of the State with a view to the
location of manufacturing establishments
OfvRrious kinds, and they only await the
favorable action of the Legislature upon
this bill, when they will st onee initiate
these necessary aids 10 the development of
our resources and the permanent pros.
perity Of the State.
Yesterday we published a paragraph
from the Bolivar bulletin, to the effect
that persons Of Influence and capital in
that town were about to embark in q
large cotton factory, and from Browns
Vile we learn that a similar project is
talked Of there. Under the stimulus OF
the exemption from taxation provided
for in the bill above alluded to, we an
ticipate q movement towards a cotton
factory, or perhaps two, in this immedi-
ste vicinity. The figures aud facts a.
forded by the annual report Of the Au-
gusts GA cotton factory, published by
Us a few days sgo, have attracted stten-
ton, and more than One expression, from
moneyed men, favorable to such an en-
terpriss in Memphis, has reached us.
We trust the rust OF proersslination will
not be permitted to wholly eat away
these good intentions, but that practical
men in our midst will carry them for
ward 10 q consummsti0n, or call in the
aid Of foreign capital to develop enter.

TO THE BOARD.OF ALDERMEs.

The people of Memphis majority OF
the tsx-psyers-sTe opposed TO the sale
or transfer of the city's interest in the
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad to
soy parties, under any pretense. They
cay, and say truly, that If the proposed
purchasers or beuefciGries can with the
$3.50, 900 stock the city now owns in the
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad and
a subsidy Of $500, 900 70 build the Missis-
sipoi River Railroad to Trenton or Union
City, make money, they cannot see why
the same results cannot be reached by
these parties simply using the city's
credit and stock as q partner IN
the scheme. Members Of the Beard
must be careful as to what they
do in this matter. The eyes Of the
taxpayers are upon them. They must
remember it is the peoples money they
ara to vote upon. It is an important
trust. Spacious pleas should not have
forcs with them. The stock to be voted
upon belongs to the city-is part OF her
assets, and may be made more valuable
than it Is in other ways than giving 1t
away, or selling il for q song to men vino
would not take ii as q gifi II they did not
see future profit in it-nay, very ''hig
money" What thsy can accomplish
the city with others can accomplish, ard
save this $3.50, 600.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SALE OF TENNESSEE RAILROADS.

SALE OF TENNESSEE RAILROADS.
The I" ring" that q few weeks since
made a "desd setn on the Legislature,
and then well nigh accomplished their
purpose Of purchasing certain Tennessee
railroads at their own price, having been
driven from their purpose by the clamors
Of the press, have again made their ap-
earance, and are urging upon the Leg
islAture the necessity, where none exists,
for an early sale of these roads. We hear
now from Nashville Of a proposition TO
put them up to the highest bidder
e process that, while it carries the con-
victl0n o. seeming fairness in the in
tersst Of the State, would most certainly
Of all others be just the one by which the
"riDgU would secure the roads and force
the State still to carry the purse. We
are opposed to this scheme. There Is too
much hurry about it. II smacks Of the
purposes Of the "ring,n and is the very
reverse Of the action that should chsrsc-
terizs the Legislature.
The proposition of Mr.. SNGLETERRY,
on Friday last, calling Tor reports as 70
their condition from ali the railroads en-
6angered, strikes Us IS more In the inter-
ests OF the people and the State. When the
Legislature is thoroughly informed as to
the workings OF the defaulting roads, it
may perhaps be found that their failure
to pay sceruing interest on their bonds,
lay 10 the fast OF their Encouragement
by State officials, rather thsn from any
derelietion on the part Of the owners,
who, as in the case Of the Northwestern,
have never had an opportunity Of testing
the capacity for earnings Of their roads.
Not one step, looking to the sale Of any
OF our railroads, should be taken until
tie reports called for have been received
and laid before the public. Let US have
al the facts, and if, after a patient and
careful investigation it is found necessary
TO sell, let such sales be contingent only
upon the refundment to the State Of all
her outlay, principal and interest. Moth
ing less thRn this will do.

Rsilroad. Perhaps, If It becomes neces-
sary to sell the city's i~nteTestiD the latter,
ths Ohio Road would like to become The
purchaser, and at price more Temuner-
tive than has yet been suggested. The
citizens Of Brownsville are abont TO sur
vey and put under construction 3 branch
rJsd TO Dyersburg, which will connect
with the PAducah Road, and accomplish
nearly all We hope from the Mississippi
River Road to Memphis. With this
branch and q proper connection OF the
Ohio with the Tennessee Railroad, and
the continuation OF the latter eve to
Meridian, Miss, would we not be quite
as well off IS by the proposed

so much better off as that we would

and the $500, 600 asked, to enable the gi-
gantlc corporation to do not quite the
same thing? This ia well worthy the
careful consideration OF the Board OF

looks for the most close scrutiny Of the
questions involved, and whom she viii
hold to a strict accountability for the dis
charge Of the duties devolviDg upon
them in this matter.

developments regarding the negotiations
OF Minister Johnson relating 10 the Ala
rama claims, IsFTants the statement
that Mr.. Seward, Ia behalf our govern
ment, has insisted onsmendDsnts virtu-
ally as follows: First, g distinct under
sssndiDg must BE- hal that the agree
mant on the part OF Great Britain TO sub
nit the eisims OF the two countries TO
the ssbitEament OF a Claim Commission,
is accepted by this Government as an
acknowledgement tbst the recognition
OF the Southern Rebellious Government
as g beligsreGt pDwer was q violation
Of the neutrality laws by England
herself. Tkis is not to be insisted on as
an article 10 the treaty, when It is finslly
perfected, but i5 will most sssurediy form
2 distinct and permanent feature IN the
preliminary correspondence.
Second. That sli claims against eiti-
zsns Of this Government, which have
been decided in our favor by the courts
OF England, shsIl be excluded from the
consideration Of the Commission. It is
quite probable that the claims against
the United States, which can only be adj
Indicated by American courts, will not
bs included in the exclusion. Such
an arrangement as this eau be
effected without violation of either
American or English precedent, II Is
believed that these two points were sug-
g5sted, as the result Of the first Cabinet
meeting which occurred since the John
s0n-StsBley protocol hss been received ;
aud that these will be followed by other
aud more significant points, 70 be agreed
upon at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
Ia fact, il IS feared that the final agree
ment between the two Governments will
be delayed until after the new PsrliR-
ment e~Onvenes, and then, as q matter of
course, it Will be further delayed until
the organization OF the new Minis
try, which may not possibly occur
until Mr.. Stewards time of office
ia about expiring, go the whole eues-
lion will be b~fqueathed to Gen.
Grants administration, when new men
viii take Il up on both sides, and 1t may
5e one, two, or even three years before
il is finally settled. La this connection
It will be remembered that the United
5tstes cannot reckon upon the entire good
VIII of John Bright and his followers, Is
it was stated ia s dispatch of Mr.. Seward
ia 1867, that Mr.. Bright disapproYed of
the position taken by the latter towards
Z gland, and nothing indicates hat he
mas changed his mind since.
