Something Else.

Memphis, within this year, will have
secured the dry docks, barge line, and
the completion Of the Little Rock rail-
road. All very well. We hope, also, to
elect sous sensible, practicable man to
the Legislature, who will be able to
engineer through some bill to relieve the
people Of enormous taxation, and on this
line we propose to eight it ont all sum-
mer. tits impossible to accomplish every
thing at once, but the ball is in motion,
and it will be easy enough to keep 1t
going, and increasing In size and force at
every turn. 1t may not, therefore, be too
early to say q few words on the
subject of diversifying the modes
of industry By establishing manufacto-
ries. A plan has been suggested by q
banker in this city, which will bring men
here Who have had experience in manu-
featuring snd also attract capital. This
gentleman has real estate here, and be
offers TO give one-tenth Of it in cotton
mill. If others will join him and make
ND sufficient amount of stock in this
shape, it is proposed to offer the whole to
any Northern company who will come
here and establish the cotton mill. Here
is chance for overburdened taxpayers
to get rid OF some dead property, and
probably start q manufacturing company
on Wolf river which shall become one Of
the richest establishments 10 the South.

BARGE LINE.
The Stock Nearly all Subscribed,
and the Company Ready 10 Organ
fxe What Memphis has TO Hope.

Yesterday afternoon q meeting was
held at the Office of Messrs. Stratton Il
Goyer by the subscribers to the Memphis
and St. Louis Barge Line.
Colonel Sam Mosby presided as chair.
man. On reading the list of those who
have taken stock in the enterprise, it was
found that number we're absent, still the
meeting represented thirty or forty of the
leading business houses of the city. 1t
was ascertained that about S8S. 600 had
been subscribed. The amount was in
creased by those present to $94. 400. A
committee, consisting Of Captain Church,
Captain McManus, VIM. NJ. Harrington,
Esq and another gentleman, was ap-
pointed to make up the remaining deficit
of $500, which will doubtless be done
to-day. The committee is authorized,
when the stock is taken, to call another
meeting, when permanent organiza-
ton, under the charter, will be effected.
The merchants of the city are fully
alive to the importance of this enterprise
and the perils that beset Memphis trade.
They have subscribed literally, and are
determined that the line shall be estsb-
lished and put in operation by the LIST of
October. We anticipate great results,
and feel proud to see that the scheme
which we advocated single. handed for
weeks and weeks is now indersed by the
Appeal and Avalanche. We do not I'M
derstand with one of them, however, that
this barge line will ever dictate to the
railroads leading from Memphis. The
Memphis and Charleston, as well as the
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad, is as
much interested in this line as any mer-
chant in the city, and has far greater in
terests at stake. The Charleston road
will hereafter get large share of the
freight which is now carried by that State
pet, the Northwestern railroad, which
carries freight from Hickman, ny, to
Nashville at ten cents on the hundred.
The Mississippi and Tennessee road, we
learn, has already made arrangements to
reduce freight tariffs, for the benefit of
Memphis merchants.
There is much to encourage the bust.
ness men and the property holders OF
Memphis. First, We are to have the dry
docks; next, we will have barge line by
the opening Of the business season in the
fall; and by the end Of the year the Little
Rock railroad will, in all probability, be
completed. With the inauguration of
these great enterprises. which all harmo-
nizs, and with good cropa, Memphis will
take new start, second growth, and
there is no telling when or where she will

horses to sell or put in safe place for
keeping will find the DeSoto stables we'll
prepared to do this kind of business.
The upper part of the building is used
as hall for storing buggies and car
riages, and is well adapted to the pur-
pose. A good supply of horses and
buggies are kept on hand for hire at all
times. The establishment is supplied
with everything necessary fer carrying
on the business.

We learn that farmers in the country

endeavored faithfully to keep good

Colonel Leftwich has bushels of testi'
mony, and is confident of securing his
seat in Congress. Little Smith, the fee,
was bolter from his sweet party, it will
be remembered, and as discipline is one
of the cardinal virtues with the Republi-
cans everywhere, this fact will be very
much against him before Congress- The
probability is that he will be kicked out
of the capitol as o warning to those who
belong to the party and at the same time
think they can run on their own hook.
1t is said that little Smith is badly scared

Barbour Lewis, the unciuous Commits

there will be among the faithful. Weare
gratifed to notice that two of the morn
ing papers have united with us in calling
upon Mr.. Greenlaw aud Mr.. Louis to
hurry up that report concerning the
bonds of county officers. These gentle
men are doubtless at work, but we hope
1t will not take them "all summer" to
find out how many officers have given
bondsmen whose names ere on the tax
list. This is the third time we haye
called attention to this matter.

under the laws Of that State q woman,
after the death of her husband, can re-
cover, by suit at law against his execu-
tors, money belonging to the wife and
loaned to the husband during the marr-
age. The suit was brought by Mrs.
Barton against the executors OF her late
husband, William Barton, for near 81, 900
and interest, money belonging to her
in her own right, and which she loaned
to her husband after the marriage. The
court gave a decision in favor Of the

cipal with interest The defendants
counsel took exceptions to the decision

NEGRO HreHwAYMEH.


The vagrant negroes who were retained
by the Radical party before the election
to distribute blank certificates, blow the
fife and play the mischief generally, have
nearly all been dropped, and they have
to protract their existence as best they
can. The most of them have returned to
their normal avocations-stealing and
highway robbery. Citizens living in the
suburbs and in the country report large
increase of nightly depredations and
armed incursions. Negro men heavily
armed and with no visible means of sup
port may be seen almost any time in
quiet, out of the way places, near the
city. They look around in the day time
for good openings and steal at night.
When they 20 on foraging expedition
they carry arms in their hands, and are
prepared to deal death to any who may
attem pit to protect the fruits of their in
dustry.
Last evening a daring and cold
blooded attempt was made by one OF
these fends to murder young man, who
is connected with the LEDGER office, and
to rob the store, which he was keeping
for a short time, on the Pigeon
BOOST road, near ellis Station, on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, two
and a half miles from the city. The
store belongs to Mr.. Neelis, but Mr.. &.
R. Catron, the young man alluded TO-,
was left in charge of it for short time
last evening about dark. While he was
standing behind the counter arranging
some parcels, negro, who had doubtless
been watching his opportunity, stepped
up in the porch with musket and DELHI
erately fred at him. The ball just
grazed Mr.. Catron's ear, and made q
great hole in the door behind him. The
negro peered in and seemed astonished
that his shot had not taken effect, and
while Mr.. Catron was looking for pis-
toll, he coolly walked off and in mo-
ment disappeared in the woods near by.
His object was doubtless to plumber the
store.
As the woods are full of such negroes,
and the law is imperative, it devolves
upon the people in the vicinity to take
care of themselves, just as settlers do in
new, wild country, There is no other
remedy available; and If one or two good
examples could be made right oil, it
would save the gardeners and farmers in
the suburbs a world of annoyance and
much property, and probably prevent
several murders and oplrages. Spring
guns in henroosts are better than justices
of the peace, strong bolts and locks more
servieeabls than sheriffs, and double
barreled shotguns behind tho door are
| fac moral arguments, which no man
should hesitate to use when his life or
property is at stake.

Henry Farmers Concert.

The New Memphis Theater was filled
to its utmost capacity last night by a
brilliant, fashionable audience, such as
seldom has been seen within those walls.
The concert was artistically, and in all
respects, perfect triumph. Mr.. Farmer
was assisted by Miss Generes, the So
prano, of New Orleans; Mr.. Wheat, the
pianist; Mr.. Harry Tomlinson, with the
flute; the Memphis City Band, which ap-
pesred in full uniform of gray and gold,
and some other professionals. The over.
ture, Rossini's "Semiramis," was grandly
executed, and the performance would
have delighted the most critical audience
in the world, which could not be much
more critical than the one present.
Mr.. Wheat was at the piano and Mr.
Tepe at the organ. The vast assembly
listened in breathless silence, as if to
catch every note and vibration, and at
the conclusion Of the ovation expressed
their delight in unanimous clapping Of
hands. This was followed by q flute duo
from Messrs. Farmer and Tomlinson,
accompanied by the piano. 1t was ex-
quisitely performed and rspturously
applauded. Next came a piano solo,
Miserere," from TrOratore, by Mr..
Wheat. No words can do him justice.
He has the masters touch; music with
Linn ia passion, and as he plays bis soul
seems absorbed in the great melody
he creates. Now he touches the keys as
soft a, raindrops falling on bed of
flowers, and then again initiates the
power and volume of storm, but at all
times has perfect control of his instru-
ment, and renders the conceptions of the
cid masters of music with delieacy, pre-.
cision and fidelity to art. Having been
before the fine audiences of New Or
leans for season psst,it was natural that
he should first present some grand artis-
tic production; but when he retired and
was recalled by the prolonged applause
of the whole house, be favored his sd-
mirers with an extemporaneou medley
of old familiar pieces, such as Dixie"
which aroused the enthusiasm of the au-
dience to the highest pitch. Then came
the grand aria from Donizetti-" Daugh.
ter of the hegiment'-bY Miss Generss
She has a sweet soprano voice, which
trils as clear and sweetly as hooking
bird, and her singing compares favorably
with the greatest cantatrices Of the stage,
although this "a the first time she ever
sang to other than q New Orleans
audience. She appeared in three
pieces, and vas each time heartily en-
cored. There are very few voices on the
stage which can reach the thigh E."
which shs did on two occasions last
evening. Mr.. Farmers Cute solo, which
followed, was sweet and delicate, and
caused hearty encore. We have not
space to go into any further notice. Suf-
fee It to say that the entertainment was
one Of the most enjoyable and brilliant
sver given in the Bluff City. Mr. Wheafs
performance was equal to any in the
country, aud we may we'll be proud Of
the " Southern Pianist. aud Mr.. Farmer,
the Great Southern Flutist"
