Aswe originally sold so many millions Of FIVE
TWENTY BoNDs, and as the Government viii soon be
able TO pay them Oft and TO issue in their place the
new Bonds, bearing A. per cent interest We ore con-
stantly asked What had we better do with our
Five TwentiesV
We answer: Keep them until youfnd Security
which you are satisfied is Just as good; that is just
as sure to be paid, principal and interest-since il
would be better 10 lose the present premium Of
10 per cent than 10 risk the loss of the principal
failure TO get your interest promptly"
Weare advising our most intimate friends tochange
into the BONDS of the CENTRAL PACIFIC RAHRoADCor
and for the following reasons: "The main line Of the
Road is finished. and is no longer experiment; it
has now, in IT'S infancy, a gross income of nearly
SS0O0,0O0, while its operating expenses are bnt =
per cent, and its annual interest payments le.s
than S2OO0OOO. It's Bonds are secured by property
worth four times their amount. At their present
price between 80 and 90 they pay seren per cent mg
est in g0id-and because the present difference Of 2O0
90 per cent between them and the Five Twenties is "a
sure profit and so much addition TO your capital"
We originally placed these Bonds on the market ;
the Road has proved "a triumphant success: rs
revenues are large and certain its Bonds good
as the Bonds of the Government, and we feel conf
dent the time will come when they cannot be had
except at premium.
The Bonds are all Of $1,000. Interest six per cent
payable January and July, which together with
principal is payable in t. s. gold ooin dolidr for d

J
II will be remembered that twenty or
more witnesses were dragged before the
Coroner, and, being unable TO give bonds
for their appearance TO prosecute before
the Criminal Court, they were thrown
into jail like common felons. This is
fragrant act Of injustice and tyranny.
1t is almost as dangerous for an unknown
and poor man to accidentally witness
homicide as to be guilty Of the crime
itself. If you are witness to one Of
these unfortunate homicides. and cannot
give bonds, you are thrown into Jail until
court meets, or until some friend. recol-
lects you, and takes out writ OF habeas
corpus for your release. And this high
handed act violates not only the letter but
the spirit Of the law. In an examination
before magistrate or coroner, the law
provides that all witnesses for the State
must enter into security in the sum of
$3.50, to appear and prosecute the de-
PENDANT. The law contemplates only IN
dividual security, but it is left to the
discretion of the magistrate, if he be-
lieves the witness will not be present to
prosecute, to exact security on the reco 6
nizance. This, however, is rarely re-
sorted to. Our magistrates and coroner
should be careful, lest the discretion in
this particular left to them by the law
should not be made an engine to Cypress
poor men, who become, through no fault
of theirs, witnesses to acts Of crime and
victims to the over-zealous interest OF
conservators of the peace. If man is
wealthy, no bond is required, because he
is known and can give it; if he is poor
and unknown, bond is demanded, because
he cannot give it. This plain statement
shows the wrong done to the poor. !.

with nearly four feet to Devalls Bluff and
three feet to Augusta. The Arkansas
has about six feet to Pine Bluff and is
declining all the way to Fort Smith. The
weather continues cold and windy. The

MEMPHIS. TENN. November %. 1870.
The general market has undergone but
few, if any, changes since our last report.
Corn is trife easier, with liberal re-
ceipts Bulk meats are weak, and only
a jobbing business doing. Prices are
slowly declining, as the new crop begins
to arrive, and during the week very
material decline is looked for. Bacon
continues scarce and prices unchanged.
Hay, produce and other articles exhibit
an advancing tendency, and from the
restrictions of navigation in the Ohio,
will doubtless advance triae within the
next two or three days
Regarding the general business of that
city, the Cincinnati Commercial says:
There continues TO be a quiet condi-
ton of things in trade circles. Business
continues to be very steady and regular
in its course, without any such fluctua-
tons in property as afford operators a
chance to do anything. This is not an
undesirable feature, but merchants com
plain of the lack Of excitement that be-
longs to such state of affairs, and feel
that they are not turning their means
over as often as they ought, forgetting,
perhaps, that it is not unfrequently the
case that in turning them in exciting
times, they are about as liable to turn
them in the wrong direction as the right.
MONEY.
The money market is ruling close, with
an active demand from almost every
branch of trade. The banks are dis
eliminating closely, and are doing bust
ness cautiously, loaning only to deposit
ors. The future of finances and bust
ness does not seem to have yet been suf-
iciently comprehended by our business
men to relax in any degree their watch
fulness of events. The general impress
sion is thatno material change will occur
Before the first of the year. Collections
are still reported meager, keeping de-
posits at a somewhat lower point than
was expected, the greater portion of col
lections being RENTED to pay foreign
debts, and considerable amount of the
proceeds of cotton going directly to the
interior Exchange is offering quite
freely, and rates are about the same
The general rate on New York sight
bills is lc discount, while on other East
ern points &c is the ruling figure. The
banks are RENTING heavily on collec-
tons, but the offerings are still in excess
and currency continues to flow in stead
lily. In local Securities there is no
change of Importance. County war
rants are in request, as also are city
scrips; the buying rate for the former is
g. to Csc, and selling rate 69to zoe, while
the purchasing rate for the latter to-day
is 65l to 66c, and selling rate zoe. Trans
actions in gold continue light; dealers
to-day are paying llOl. The opening
New York rate was lll3, and closing
rate at noon ll2. Government bonds
opened dull but steady, and sterling ex-
change heavy at 1921. Our early Lon
don dispatches report consols for money
g2s and U. S. securities firm; 5-20s Of
e2 SO l-l6. We are informed that on
Thursday Thanksgiving the different
banking institutions will be closed. A
notice elsewhere calls upon those having
paper falling due on that day to meet
the same tomorrow.

damage or not, but presume, from the
appearance of the starboard bow Of the
Longworth, she must have certainly in
jured herself to some extent.
William Weaver, pilot of the Long
worth, publishes card in the same
paper, denying the statements made by
Captain Goddin, Of the Wild Wagner,
relative to the collision between those
two boats.
The Mary Boyd is due from the Ar
kansas.
Our Arkansas river exchanges report
business brisk along that stream. Cot
ton is coming to the river bank in such
quantities that the boats placed in the
trade from that river to New Orleans by
the Memphis and Arkansas River Packet
Company, as well as transient boats, go
fully laden each trip.
Coal is retailing at eleven cents per
bushel at Pittsburg. An extensive
dealer is of the opinion that before
thirty days it will be thirteen to fourteen
cents per bushel.
Sundays Cincinnati Commercial says
The Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee appointed to visit Louisville and in
spect the canal, will report an Change
tomorrow. We hear they will fully in
dorse the course of Gen. Weitzel. Hav-
ing thoroughly investigated the work,
they are satisfied il is being prosecuted
as rapidly as possible, and with a view to
the best interests of this city. As to
opening the old canal, they are satisfied
of the utter impractcability of doing SO,
for the reason that at the present depth
of water no boats could effect passage,
on account of the accumulation of mud
and rock in its bed; and, again, as the
opening Of the canal at present would
put stop to the blasting, and delay
work at stage too far from completion
to admit of finishing it next summer
The committee are satisfied that every
effort has been made to open the new
canal this season, the Directors even
having drawn on their own resources to
effect such result. If the weather does
not interfere with the work, the new
canal will be opened at latest December
18th, probably 18th, allowing the largest
boats to make Cincinnati the terminus
Of their trips, instead of Portland, as
heretofore. AT all events the canal will
not be opened till there is a rise of TWEEN
ty-six feet at this point, or over thirty
feet in the channel, as there will be but
ten feet at Louisville. ANY lower stage
will not interfere with the work.
