CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
MEMPHIS. OctOberQ, 1869.

There was a good inquiry in this mar
ket to-day, but sales were not so heavy as
Yesterday. The market is now bare
nearly all the cotton which has arrived
having been sold. There are orders on
hand Cor at least two thousand bales OF
Low MiddIings, but none can be found,
while orders for finer grades are largely
in excess Of the supply. Middlings sold
to-day at 2l}zc, and buyers were ready to
take all offered at that figure. Among
the sales were 5 bales Low Middlings at

of the country are circulating the an
nouncement Of the marriage of Doug

ed daughter Of Professor A. Molly

This sounds well, and carries the idea
that the Professor is white man.

Heats a niger who was at one
time loafng about the English manu-
featuring towns as prize fighter; but
low as are the English bruisers, we be-
lieve white man and the niger never
made up prize match. He was, how
ever, picked up by some Harvard genius
and brought over to give the students
lessons in boxing, and his professor
ship simply embraces the art of punch
ing the heads of the collegians during
their term of study. Mrs Fred. Doug

A Sad Circumstance.

day to an exalted Washington official.
1t seems to be my duty to record it. l

Belding, for the sake of convenience.
Ee is said to be right good man, but
was always liberal in his views and q
very sociable sort of person. He used
to % about good deal, and among
other places he used to go up to So
crates, on the Hudson River Railroad,
every now and then. and stay all night
at hotel kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Wag-
per. In due time he fell in love with
a refined and cultivated young lady in
Brooklyn, and Immediately put himself
upon his very best behavior. In the
course of six months she married him,
and gave it as her opinion that she was
marrying perfection itself. The young
couple were very happy. They began
to o.frisk around and enjoy the honey.
moon Presently they ran upto Socrates
and camped at Mr.. Wagner's hotel. Ir
the evening George was sitting on q
sofa in the parlor, with his arm arounc
his brides shoulders, when Mrs. Wag
ner entered. She struck an attitude
She began to get angry in a minute
Then she said Look here, my fn'
fellow, I've had as much of this as In
going to stand. There you are dowr
on that register as General Georg
Belding and lady again. You've done
that thing sixteen times in eighteel

HARD Money for the PeopIe.

The time is arriving when the people
of this country will be in position to
decide, irrespective of other political
questions, upon amatter nearer to their
individual and thenationalwelfar than
all the rest. The point is whether spe-
Gle payment shall be resumed and
gold and silver coin of the United
States be substituted in place of the
present deprecated greenbacks and pos
tai currency.
The living issues which divide the
two great existing parties are chiefly
financial and economical. The former
adherents Of the Republican party, who
joined and c1ung to it in order to ena-
bic it to carry out the special purposes
for which it was organized, are now left
free to consider whether it has a policy
in regard to these present issues which
entities it to their continued support.
Parties arise, from time to time. in all
countries, for the fulfllment of certain
missions. Having succeeded in what
they set out to accomplish, they become
worthless their ability to supply the
next prevailing want proves equal to
their special aptitude for the previous
work. When it becomes evidentto the
masses of the Republican party that
their party is untitled, by reason Of its
political traditions and entanglements

Below we copy from a Richmond pa
per an interesting article on this sub
ject, which we hope will be attentively
read by landowners
We sometimes fear, and we have rea-
SON to fear, that the scheme of the men
now. uppermost in tile counsels Of the
North is so to clog Southern industry
with such impediments and drawbacks
as to discourage and disgust those en-
gagged in it, and induce them to throw
their lands into market. The glut of
lands would be so great as to reduce
the pr ce to a standard that would ena-
bic Northerners to pick and choose, and
purchase up the desirable estates in
every locality. The millions of unem-
ployed capital at the North could find
no moro profitable investment. The
investment of. paper money in cotton
lands would be almost tantamount to
it's conversion into cotton, the equiva-
lent Of gold, and without any loss of
discount Such a scheme, pertinacious-
ly adhered to, might result, in the course
Of few short years, in an entire change
in the proprietorship Of the soil The
whole soil would be transferred to North
ern hands, and cultivated by the negro
laborers now resident ON it, who would
be hired by the new owners at scale
of prices regulated by no competition,
and adjusted at the option of the new
owners. These. new proprietors, thus
colonizing the South, would have all

Even when the Constitution of the Uni-
ted States was adopted, and when the
great slave States, like Virginia, were
anxious to stop the traffic, it was de-
feated by the criminal greed and ava
rice of New England, whose ships were
engaged in bringing them here, united
to the supposed interests of the new
Southern States, like South Carolina
and Georgia, which demanded cheap
labor to develop their resources. The
traffic, therefore, had a further lease of
twenty years, an interval which was
most industriously improved.
To the presence Of these antagonistic
races upon the same soil we owe all the
horrors and calamities of the late civil
war. With that frightful lesson so re-
Gently before us, it might be supposed
thatwe would not be inclined to encour-
age the immigration. of another for

the. Chinese emigration to the Pacific
coast, which, nthe way it is carried
on, is but-little, if any, better than the
African slave trade. They favor it
upon the same groundS,; that it will
reduce the price of labor-reduce that
which already is not half as well remu-
.nerated as it ought to be for theinter-
ests of society. The four hundred mil

this is the party that the Intelligence,

no wisdom in sentimentally clinging to

let us Of the South preserve our unity,

Democracy Of South Carolina is con-

be sold for taxes, and then would fall
