and think the people will bear us out in
the assertion, that Colonel @. W. Heis-
kell who is the Democratic nominee for
the office of First Circuit Judge, stands
equally as high in the estimation of this
community as Judge Scruggs or any
other man, and would be as far from
soiling the sacred character of the Office
as any one in the county of Shelby. If
P. 4. Scruggs desires to elect a Radical
to the office for which he is now running,
il will be well for him to continue to
push his claims as an Independent can
didate. If he does not wish this state
of facts to exist, prudence and good
sense demands that he at once retire

WASHINGTON.
False Stafement-N0 British Troops
to Pass through our Territory-
RumOrs of War with Spain.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The statement that
the British Government applied for permission
to send troops through our territory to the ked
river country is simply a repetition of the story
circulated on good authority three weeks ago.
No application of the kind has been made; nor
would it be granted on any condition by the
administration. There is not a single member
of the Cabinet who favors such thing for a
moment, and what is more, the British Gov
eminent is pretty well aware of the fact. Mr.
Thornton has not asked our Government as an
act of courtesy to allow the Dominican troops
to pass through our territory to the scene of
the Winnipeg revolt. and from what he has
cleaned of the views of President Grant and
Secretary Fish, it is not at all probable he will
feel disposed to hazard thechance ola refusal.
There are well founded rumors adoat here
this forenoon that we are on the eve of war
with Spain. In anticipation of speedy trouble
with Spain, immense orders for naval stores
have been sent hence to-day by responsible
parties.
The Cabinet ale in secret consultation this
forenoon.
The rumors relative to war with Spain are
on the increase Your correspondent has just
returned from an interview with General
Horace Porter, the Presidents private Secre-
tary. who says there is no foundation for
them, though it is believed that the Cabinet is
still in session.

NEW York. April 2l.-The Fenian Congress
yesterday permanently organized by the cleo
ton of General j. J. Donnally. of Utica, n.
Y. speaker. General 0'Neil's message was
read, in which he referred, at some length. to
the coordinate relations of the Senate and
himself, and fervently hoped that the party
difficulty, or rather misunderstanding, be-
tween himself and it would be swept away by
harmonious counsels, and forever forgotten.
He alluded at length to the fact that he desired
an immediate invasion of Canada. In refer
ence TO that, he would say, from his heart, that
his desire was. as had been stated to strike
full at the heart Of the common enemy, and
to strike hard
Delegates Colonel Cosgroye, J. Finnery, Of
the Chicago Republican, and Captain Nc
Laughlin, were finally admitted last night
Mr.. j. +. Finnery, representing the Chicago
delegation, addressed the Congress. and stated
that no matter how much the general body of
the organization was desircds of striking
blow against the common enemy, he did not
desire to peril the life Of any member Of the
organization who might be persuaded to join
the movement against the Canadian authori-
ties. He, as representing the entire Western
portion Of the Fenian Brotherhood, declared
emphatically against any steps on the part of
this Congress which might imperil its hopes in
the present and defeat its aspirations in the
future; that he for one would not protest
against any rational movement against the
Canadian Government, but he, representing
the entire Fenian organization Of the West
ern States. was decidedly opposed to any use
less sacrifice Of life. and, as representing the
main portion Of the Fenian Brotherhood, he
would most decidedly protest against prems-
ture movement on the part of Gen. 0'Neill.
or any officer ofthe Brotherhood, which might
tend to decrease the standing, reputation or
efficiency Of the organization. He did not
believe In sudden movements or premature
organizations; he did not think that the power
Of one man could govern the mind Of ten
thousand. but he believed that the common
sense Of the delegates present would enable
them to distinguish between right and wrong,
and to determine what was feasible and what
was not.
The steamship South America arrived this
forenoon, bringing confirmation of the death
Of Lopez. which is published officially in the
Anglo Brazilian Times.
Admiral Porter has ordered all war vessels
under his command to be in readiness to sail

ILLEGAL DEBTs.-The special com
mittee appointed by the Council to see
if any evidences of debt of an illegal
character exist against the city reported
last evening that large proportion OF
the bonded Indebtedness of the city is
founded upon illegal considerations; that
the bonds were issued without authority
or warrant of law. In this connection
the attention of the committee had been
particularly directed to an investigation
of the authority which the city authorl-
ties assumed and exercised in issuing
time interest bonds to the amount OF one
million of dollars, in carrying out and
concentrating what was then termed
"the funding scheme" and to an inves-
tigation of the authority which was also
assumed and exercised in issuing bonds
amounting to $9OO,0l2, ostensibly for
paving purposes. The authority OF the
city, say the Scommittee, to issue these
bonds depended upon the vote of ma
jority of the qualified voters of the city.
No such authority, in legal contempla-
ton, was ever conferred. Under the
odious and unconstitutional franchise
law large majority of the bona tide
citizens and property-holders were ex-
cludtd from voting in these important
elections. Thus the parties in interest,
the taxpayers, the parties who have the
debt to pay, if it is ever paid, were ex-
clu'ed from the ballot-box. The matter
was referred to the City Attorney and
Finance Committee for further investi-
CATION.

ed resolutions denouncine the rates charged
By the railroads as exorbitant; opposing the

The BoND ORDINANCE. = The City
Council last evening passed the ordi-
nance for the issue of 100000 thirty
year bonds, for the purpose of funding
the present due debt of the city. These
bonds shall be issued in denominations
of $1,000 each, payable semi-annpally in
the city of New York or in Memphis,
according to the option of the Mayor.
The bonds when issued shall be used by
the Mayor and Comptroller of the city
in funding at par like amount of the
present due debt, or of the notes, bonds
or coupons, for interest upon the bonded
debt of the city becoming due during the
year 1870; provided that said bonds shall
not be issued or used for any other use
or purpose than funding at par like
amount Of the debts of the city. The
question, to issue or not to issue these
bonds, is to be submitted to a vote of
the people. If three-fourths of those
who vote cast their ballots in favor of the
proposition, then the bond ordinance
shall be in full force and effect.

Coon ADvIcE.-A French philosopher
once said to his countryfnen: Beware
of choosing clever knave, because he
will follow his own interest and not
yours; but at the same time beware of
choosing a man for no better reason than
that he is honest, because you will want
ability quite as much as probity" We
think this advice might be taken by a few
in our midst who are talking in favor of
Radicals, every one of whom are Clever
