There was a dearth of news to-day In
money circles. The tone Of the market
is good and currency easy, while depos-
its are increasing In a very favorable ra-
ito. Good borrowers are scarce, and are
accommodated at the usual bank rates on
all short paper. Cotton bills come In
freely enough to keep exchange in fair
supply-more than equslto the demand
and rates remain as at our last.
City Bonds are in some demand at $40

TRADE.

Visitors to the Commercial Convention
are already arriving in u city, and by
the opening day it is estimated that the
attendance will be very large. The va
rious committees are working with a will,
and for the honor of Memphis we trust
that our citizens, one and al, will do ev-
erything that lies in their power to make
the short stay Of thOse vino visit US ss
pleasant as possible. From this C1nven-
ton we look for great results. Business
men and capitalists from all sections of
the country viii meet together and con-
fer upon subjects OF vital importance,
The ball will be set in motion, and who
knows were it may stop. Our fields
want labor, our products want cheap
transportation, our manufacturing inter-
ests want development, our resources
want hut to be known to induce capitsI
to seek Investment. All this may, and
10 doubt will, come in tins, but that
time may be FASTENED by this Conyen-
ton.
Business remains quiet and prices
steady in the general markets. Reesiptsl
are falling eff in produce, and orsersI
from the interior are not so large SIS for
merry. But few planters come to town,
being too busy at home.
The project of 8 barge line hence TO
ST. Louis approaches 8 certsinty day by
day. $50 600 of the 500 900 required are
now subscribed, and parties al e ready to
double their subscriptions If necessary.
The object is, however, to get every one
of cur merchants interested as stock
holders. We want cheap freights, aud
only In this way al that Object be &C.
complished. The gentlemen having ths

The PILES, while astonishingly prevalent In
their various forms amongst all classes OF both

the Piles generally try everything they can

They wish that they were only tall,
That they might LOOK DER little boys,

The ONO DEMOCRACY we're placed in a very
tight place by the family and creditors of
General Rosecrans whose claims upon the
latter prevented him from accepting the
gubernatorial nomination. Ignoring all the
prominent candidates before the convention
over whom Rosecrans was nominated, the
State Central Committee have appealed to
George H. Pendleton, and that shining light
of modern Democracy has listened to the
appeal and consented to take the place upon
the ticket which Rosecrans has vacated. The
selection of such man as Pendleton for a
candidate is an open confession of weakness,
a shadow of coming defeat Pendleton's real
aspirations are towards the Presidency, for
which position he barely missed a nomination
by the Tammany Convention of last year.
His defeat at that time did not, of course, en-
tirely suppress his aspirations, and he now
enters upon the contest in Ohio merely to
enable the party to make the best possible
show, without any expectation of being
elected.

lion. Jeremiah Nichols died at I O'Clock this morn
ing at his cottage-resdence on Federal street
above Thirteenth, in the Twenty-sixth ward. He
attained the age OF forysix years on the 9th OF May
last In early life Mr.. Nichols was a carpenter by
trade, and worked at his business for number OF
years. He was always opponent of Democratic
principles and naturally changed from an Old-line
wing to the Republican party its first formation
A man OF comparatively no culture, he was
thoroughly versed In all the crooks and turns
OF political life. From the outset he has
been especially identified with the Cameron
faction IN this State, and has been considered by
senator cameron as one OF his most valuable adhe-
rents IN this city. Possessed Of great energy Of
character, he always accomplished his purposes,
and among local "wire-pulers" the support OF Jere-
man Nichols was eagerly sought. His active work
IN the Republican ranks was rewarded by successive
nominations to the Legislature and he was elected
state Senator from the First district for two terms
extending from 1850 to 1866. This success was OBJ
tanned IN district that has always been strongly
Democratic, and illustrates Mr.. Nichols practical
eHciency in political life. He has been delegate
to various State Republican conventions for the
nomination OF State officers, and is believed to have
hberaly contributed OF his means to the success OF
the party.
After the close OF his political career at Harris
burg he established the Cameron Mills" in the
Twenty-sixth ward, and engaged in the manufac-
ture or cotton goods under the style Of Nichols
alexander Co. His social qualities and life secured
him hosts Of friends and his popularity in his imme-
date neghborhood was increased by his liberal con-
trbutons to the distressed especially in the exciting
times Of the late "drafts" He was a member of the
Cameron Club of the Twenty-sixth ward, Maletta

THE CASE OF HAGGERTY.-=A- despatch from
Washington states that the Government will
take no present action in the case of Hag-
gerty, who was appointed consul to Glasgow,
but to whom the British authorities refused
to grant an exequatur, on the ground that he
was actively associated with the Fenian
movements in this country. 1t is difficult to
see what action the Government can take in
this matter Haggerty should never, in the
first place, have been appointed consul to
Glasgow or to any other place under the
sovereignty of Great Britain, and the refusal
of the English government to permit him to
enter upon the functions of his Office was the
least that could have been expected If
Laird, the Confederate ram builder, should
be designated as British consul at Philadel-
phia, our own Government would act just as
that of Great Britain has done, and with per-
feet justice. If Haggerty were the only man
in the United States fit and willing to be
consul at Glasgow, there might be some hard
ship in the case.

Gents:-A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night OF May 20, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge it is
evident that the attempt to open was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammerng was heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hours but supposing 1t TO
arise from the railroad men replacing defective
rail, excited no alarm The tools, with the exception
OF the drills, were left 1t is evident that they were
not only prepared but perfectly familiar with the
construction OF your Chest
That they failed is another evidence that your
Bankers Chests are whasgou claim for them, Bur-
glar-Proof.
