To the Property Holders of Memphis.

To the Property Holders Of Memphis.
In yesterdays LEDGER / offered o
proposition, and gave an outline OF a
plan to commence the manufacture OF
hats in Memphis, by the formation of
joint stock company. did not intend to
offer further remarks, unless some half
a dozen of the persons most interested
in such enterprises would get together
and desire to hear the views in detail of
a practical man on this branch of man
ufacture, when it would afford me great
pleasure to give them my views.
The subscriber has followed manufac-
turing hats for twenty.ons years, and
processes to understand this branch OF
manufacture to q dot in all its ramihca-
tions.
One reason why men Of small means
do not make hats in Memphisis, because
there is prejudice against homemade
articles, or rather there is no preference
shown for goods Of domestic production.
To prove this by illustration, let us sup
pose our people raise cotton this year at
cost of twenty cents and sell it for ten,
would not this be wilful and deliberate
self-ruin, when, by planting corn at a
cost of twenty-five cents per bushel for
raising, and selling it in Memphis at one
dollar, they would receive the price of
their labor four times over.
Eastern manufacturers have their
emissaries all over this broad land, to
encourage the production of cotton.
True, their professed objects are to teach
negro schools. and dabble in politics and
reconstruction generally. They are con-
stantly busy, and their real purpose is
to stimulate and urge the culture of cot
ton. Shut our eyes to it as we may,
this truth will be apparent by-and-by.
Would it not be we'll for our people to
quit abusing the Yankees-it amounts
to nothing-and go to work to produce
something for home consumption.
As none of our solid men make public
suggestions for the public good, would
it not be we'll to hold public meetings
for the benefit of Memphis, before do
nothing policy has driven the active
men from town for want of trade, and
rendered the property of the city of little
value. For four years the cry has been
for houses; six months hence, the cry
will be for men, unless therelis remedy.
We boast a great deal of what we
know; but if every man keeps his
thoughts to himself, what avails all he
knows2 The people of Memphis are in
dilemma to-day the trading men are
panic. stricken; the property holders
have the largest interest, for they count
more to other places, the balance of the
community look to them to take the in
itiatory steps in all enterprises intended
for the public good.

Information About the Bankrupt Law.

Object of the LAWS to enable per-
sons who can't pay their debts to get rid
of them.
Who may take advantage of this law ?
Any person, or firm, who owe debts to
the amount of three hundred dollars or
upward, whether they be individual or
partnership debts, and both, and it
makes no difference what is the charac-
ter of the Indebtedness, whether it be by
bill, note, account, Judgment, as princi-
pal or surety, or otherwise.
What does the law demand Of the ap-
plicant?
That Ee shall surrender his property
except such as is hereafter mentioned,
to his creditors, for pro rata distribu-
ton among them.
What does the law permit the appli-
cant to keep
Household and kitchen furni-
ture, and necessaries to the amount of
5000.
Secoud-The wearing apparel Of him
self and family.
Third-The uniform, arms and equip
ments of any person who is, or has been,
q soldier in the militia or the service of
the United States.
Fourtli-If the applicant is the head
of family, his homestead, to the value
of $500. If he has no homestead, then
in lieu thereof money or other personal
property to the value of 5000.
If the applicant has only so much
property as is above enumerated, of
course he has nothing TO give to his cred
itors.
The result of the benefit of taking this
law is discharge from all his indebted
ness. In cases where there is no con-
test, it requires from sixty to ninety days
to procure this discharge.
This law went into operation on the
second day'of March, 1867, and persons
who propose to avail! themselves Of its
advantages should do so as soon as pos
sible, as they cannot do so after one year
from its commencement, unless they can
pay fifty cents on the dollar Of their in
debtedness, or get the consent Of ma
jority in number and value of their cred
itors.

A RADICAL Colonel named White
challenged Butler, when the latter was in
Richmond last week, to mortal cembat.
Asthere is no report Of a meeting, it is
presumable that a meeting was never
had. Even had there been an encounter
reported, no one would believe it; for
the reason that every one knows that
Butler won't fight His only fight during
the war, in which he took personal
part, was one in which he met and was
worsted by a Lowell bricklayec.
II Colonel White thinks to get fight
out of Butler be is mistaken in bis man.
Butler would perhaps consent TO Dig =
ditch with him, or 90 on a competitive
raid after spoons, or see who could NAL
treat the greatest number Of women in
the shortest space Of time. But pistols
and coffee do not suit the hero Of Fort
Fisher. Let White change the form Of
