Adam road to the National Cemetery,

precedence Of them all, TO obtain the aid
Of the Government in the form of q lOsn
of credit, in rebuilding the Mississippi
levees, ami it was proposed to
appropriate $500 or 5000 to de-
fray their expenses. There wss
some contention among the County
Commissioners as TO how many and who
should be sent as delegates, and the Pro-
position wss lost. It is probable the pro-
position will be renewed OF Monday, IS h
instant. These are good works, and
their construction viii prove vastly
beneficial to Memphis, and il the
commissioners viii appoint two delegates

The story prevailing here regarding
Gov. Geary Of Pennsylvania, it is said
has this extent and no more. If he is
! nominated for Governor, he will OF
course run, but If he is not, a. the in
dicatiOns now appear to be against
him, he Is to have a place in the cabi-
net from Pennsylvania, in place OF
MI. BOrie, who, it is said, Is desirOus
of retiring on account OF i'll health.
Letters from Mississippi received
here, stute that the conservative re-
pubIibans in the State are entering
upon q campaign on the universal
amnesty platform, and are urging
the President 10 name August as the
time for 8 vote on the COnstitution.
Reports made to the committee here
show that the Sons Of Temperance
now have ,S6S divisions In operation,
with 95,6T3 members, and a ,TSl lady
visitors. The receipts Of the order last
year were S1S6,965 and it has $223. S9S
dollars in cash on good investment.
Nearly $500 members were expelled
during the year.
The Freedmen's Saving Bank had
i'm It's various branches on the fiHt OF
June, deposits amounting to about one
million two hundred thousand dollars
