CITY

A meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen, called yesterday for
the purpose of making arrangements
to meet the July interest, adjourned
without reaching any satisfactory re-
suit. In explanation of the call it
was suggested by the Mayor that the
Chairman of the Finance Committee
was DESTROYS OF selling the Little Rock
stock in order to satisfy the pressure
now upon the city; but Mr.. VOL
#CorT, while he admitted his willing
ness to do so, desired it to be
known that it was only upon the
understanding that the stock would
fall into the hands of Mr.. GREENLAw,
whom he very properly characterized
as a good friend of the city. Learn
ing, however, that such was not the
case, he was opposedto the sale. And
thus, for the twentieth time, the long
threatened sale of the city's railroad
stock has been postponed; let us
hope, never again to be mentioned.
The people of Memphis are a unit in
opposition to any such disposition
of their interest in a railroad
that on all sides is admitted to be the
most valuable, prospectively, thatruns
into Memphis-esteemed so by its
President to an extent that enables
him to promise a fair interest upon
the original outlay Immediately upon
its completion. We have a notion
that when the Finance Committee
and Board of Aldermen determine
to give up all thought of selling this
stock, or any thing else that is the
property of the city, they will begin
to realize the situation of affairs more
clearly and to make arrangements of
a legitimate character to meet our
liabilities. Press collections, fight for
time and incur no more debts. That's
the policy for the times.

THE ATGEST ELECTION.


a good spirit seems to prevail
throughout the State on the subject of
the coming election. The people
everywhere are aroused to a sense of
their duty, and have determined that
our next Legislature shall be composed
of the best available material in the
State. Shelby is not behind other
counties in the work. Unless we re-
lapse into that state of Indifference
which has characterized our course to
a great extent for the past four years,
we wilInOt be misrepresented in Nash
vile another winter. To accomplish
the purpose which now seems so reso-
lutely determined upon, each citizen
has a duty to perfOrm-a duty which
cannot be performed by a proxy, and
lciU not be performed by friends in VI
absence. Wemustall each and every
one Of us, collectively and individu-
ally, see to it that the Convention
which has been determined upon, and
which will make our nominations, Is
composed of the right kind of men.
To do this, we must attend the ward
and district meetings, lay aside all
chickering's and discOuntenance all en-
~gineering. Former political princi-
pies should be forgotten. We are an
OPPOSITION party now. Our common
purpose and interest Is to defeat the
party which has bankrupted and al
most ruined the State. We must
unite our efforts and work together for
this purpose if we would SAVE our
State from utter ruin before it is too
Iuc ArrEAL lSUo Iwoy5 u5vu TINS
course. Heretofore there have been
obstacles in the way that prevented all
Of Il people from adopting it. Now
that we are on the eve of enfranchise-
ment, these obstacles are nearly all
removed. Those who cannot vote
have such an immediate prospective
interest in the election that they will
10 wrong if they do not avail them
selves Of the opportunity TO act in the
Convention, through intelligent aad
honest representatives.

in the contest. In doing this they &C
cepted all the consequences. When
the issue was determined against
them, they surrendered and accepted
the situation. They now quietly and
uncomplainingly rest upon the bed
made bEthemselves. To all the terms
of their surrender and all laws since
made for their government they sub
mit with the same fortitude that sus-
tanned them on the field of battle.
Their mute and accomplishing suffer-
ing appeals only to the charities and
the affections of their living comrades
1t can now be recorded that the APP
peal is not made in vain.
Again we cordially commend the
movement. God speed those who are
! engaged in it. The hearts of all the
distressed widows and orphans and
disabled soldiers of the cause through
out the land will be gladdehed by it,
and Iightened and buoyed up to fight
successfully the great battle Of life.

The various temperance societies OF
the United States are said to have a total

and Good Templars each number about
half a million members. The Sons OF

Letters from Lisbon announce the
inorganic marriage Of Don Ferdinand, ex-
King of Portugal, with Fanny Elsler.
This must be a second union, as the cele-
brated dancer had accepted in 1854, if we
remember rightly, the hand Of a rich
Prussian banker. The other sister. The
resa, surnamed The Majestic, became the
wife of Prince Adalbert, brother of the
King of Prussia. Fanny was born in
| 1910, so that she now has arrived at the
age of fftv-nine. Rumor, when she was
young, placed the Duke de Reiehstadt
amongst her warmest admirers.
New York is threatened with a jul
bilee, which is to be bigger than the recent

They say if the jubilee must come let il
come. All they ask is hat the mammoth
building shall be erected as far froIa the

of the orchestra they mention the names
of Maretzek, DOdwOrth. BarnUnf, Bate
men, Grau, Fisk, Jr., Jarrett and Palmer.
The only reason given for this second in
Fiction is that New York can't stand the
Boston Dragging. and is determined not
to be eclipsed in trade, size or folly by
anything on this continent.

Mr.. TARwATER, of Nashville, in
which he thoroughly ventilates the

He reiterates his statement Of the
