The Late Assault.

Dan Smith, the negro who so desper-
ately assaulted Mr.. Meriwether on Sat
urday last, has not as yet been arrested
Mr.. Meriwethers condition is quite pre-
carious. An intelligent colored man,
John Clemens, who was present at the
time, says that Mr.. Meriwether was try
ing to stop fuss between him and Doc
Smith, when Smith struck Mr.. Meri-
wether on the back of the head with a
stick of wood, knocking him down. He
then struck him twice while he was on
the ground. Smith ran away, and was
followed by Clemens with gun. but he
escaped. When Clemens returned to
where Mr.. Meriwether was lying, he
saw Smiths wife standing over him with
raised block Of wood and about to
strike him. He (Clemens) knocked her
down with the gun before she could strike
Mr.. Meriwether. The police are en-
deavoring to arrest Smith and others
who were engaged in the original diff
Guilty with Clemens.

Says the Boston Advertiser; The po-
litical disorders at the South are deeply
seated, and will continue, whatever Fed
eral interference there may be, for some
time to come. The reaction from the
ignorance and intrigue which came to
the surface after the war is now going
on. 1t was impossible that the inexpe-
rienced negroes and the Northern adj
yenturers who took advantage Of their
opportunity and seized so many of the
State and local governments should per-
manently hold them without encounter
ing both open and secret enemies. The
powerful aid which the general Govern
ment has given to them in the distribu-
ton of its patronage and by its moral
support has driven the worst of the OPP
position into secret combinations, whose
crimes are the cause of these periodical
excitements."

We were pleased 10 meet during last
week General w. G. Harding, a distin-
guished citizen Of Middle Tennessee, who,
with his accomplished daughter, honored
our city with short visit. General
Harding is devoted to fine stock, and
upon his magnificent place, near Nash
vile, there is perhaps the finest and
purest blood upon the continent Sew
eral horses of his raising won purses at
our recent races here, and, although
having parted with all interest in the
horses that won, his faced glowed with
enthusiasm in witnessing their great
triumphs of speed. One object of Gen
eral Harding's visit to our city was to
arouse among our people greater de-
sire for finer stock, and elevate the race
track to the dignity to which the moralist
can make no exception. We hope to
have him visit us again, as it is by asso-
citation with such men that our ideas
become more dignifed and ennobling.

To the Editor Of the Ledger,

10 the EuitOr OF the beukofs
In your paper Of the 10Th ult. / notice
communication from Justice refer
ing to an article in the st. Louis Demo
crat; and for the information of jus
tice. Many Memphians and Anti
Monopoly | would respectfully state
that the Elevator Companys package
warehouse is intended to take the place
of large wharfboat, and that they do
not desire to store freight of any kind,
but on the contrary would ask for the en-
forcement of the ordinancerequiring the
freight to be removed from said elevator
warehouse, as it is now from the levee
and wharfboat, and give the company
the privilege of storing the same at own
ers risk and expense after the limited
time given by the ordinance has expired.
The Elevator Company wish it to be
generally known that the elevator at
Memphis is being built in the interest of
the Memphis and st. Louis Packet Com
pany, and they hope to be able to carry
heights enough to this point, if cheap
transportation will do it, to occupy the
whole Of this building with their own
freights; Consequently will not need any
storage, but would insist upon the quick
delivery of all freights.
II the Packet Company did not be-
lieve that they could bring back the
railroad business that has left Memphis
and the Packet Company, now going
over the Iron Mountain railroad, they
would not be so eager to help build up
the city at their own expense in the face
of such opposition as they have met
with here What should Many Mem
phians, Autobiography" or Justice
care who owns the railrods, the elevators, |
and the little what-nots set around in the |
little corners, if they bring business and
and increase the growth of the
city, cheaper transportation and invite
foreigners here to spend their money in |
and help pay the taxes.
If the citizens of Memphis are deter
mined to keep foreigners las the Mem
phis and St. Louis Packet Company is
called), and foreign capital out of Mem.
phis, they should fence it in, whitewash |
he planks, and paint on it in large let

THE SIGNAL BUREAU.

Located at Washington is the head
quarters of the Signal Bureau, with its
varied offices extending throughout the
country. The information drawn from
which, if properly observed, may be of
infinite service to all classes in predict
ing storms. The New York World says:
There seems to be no doubt entertained
of the great value of storm and food
forecasts. 1t is of the utmost advantage
that the farmer, the merchant, in fact all
classes, should know of the approach of
storms. Preparations have been made
by which this knowledge can be secured
with scientific accuracy at certain sta
tons throughout the country. Thus the
knowledge possessed at the Signal Blu
reau in Washington enables those in
charge of it to foretell the approach Of
storms. But to keep this knowledge
confined to a bureau, or to circulate it
by means of newspapers merely, which
are not regularly read by the farmers or
sailors, is not exactly what the country
desires, nor is it, probably, what the Sig
nal Bureau proposes to do. Mr.. A. Wat
son, who has for long time labored to
popularize a system Of storm tele-
graphy, suggests plan by which the APP
proach of storms may Immediately be
made known in all directions He pro-
poses that three guns shall be fired as
warning of all coming storms and floods,
at one minute if tornado, thunder
or hail storm, terrific gale, or any de-
structive storm is approaching; at inter
walls of three minutes if an ordinary rain
or snow storm is approaching rapidly;
al intervals of six minutes if an ordinary
rain or snow storm is approaching slowly;
and at intervals of ten minutes if
destructive river food is approaching.
In case of very destructive storms or
foods, and also during haying and har-
vest, the signals should be repeated after
suitable intervals, in accordance with the
kilograms. A large number Of State and
national officials have admitted the value
Of such a system, and have expressed a
desire that the national government
should examine the special system pro-
posed by Mr.. Watson.

The New York Sun sets forth who IT
is that are the Ku-Klux Khan. The
real Ku-Kluxes who ought to be put
down by National legislation, it says,
are not the ruflians we hear so much
about in the Radical prints, but the
scalawag crrpetbaggers living flesh
and blood scoundrels in official station,
who are doing their best to impoverish
and destroy the whole fabric of society
in the South. From one end of the
South to the other there comes up q
universal cry against the corruption, the
extravaganza, and the general NAL
administration of these adventurers.
They have increased taxes ten-fold;
they have added enormously to the
funded debt Of the States, counties,
cities and towns; they are squandering
the resources of the country and afford
no adequate protection for either prop
erty or life. If, therefore, says the Sun,
Congress really wishes to tranquilize
the South and restore order there, let 1t
restore to the people the privilege OF

caterplIIars Stop a Train.

A curious phenomepon appeared near
Nonconnah creek, on the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad, yesterday. Myr-
lads Of yellow caterpillars took posses
sion Of the track and covered the rails
for nearly a quarter of a mile. The
down train yesterday ran into the creep
ing mass, and was forced to stop, the
driying-wheels revolving rapidly, but the
train failed to advance. After the rails
had been swept, the train proceeded.
The evening up train managed to cross
the creased section at a slow pace, by
the engineer putting on all the steam as
he approached the spot. The track
presented a curious appearance, seem
ingly alive with creeping, crawling
worms. The caterpillars have appeared
also on the Little Rock road and on
other roads entering Memphis. Why
they are so numerous this season-why
they are migrating-where they hail
from and whittier bonnd-are questions
for the curious and scientific to inves-
tigate.

Festival.

The Lady Managers of the Church
Orphans Home are holding festival
during this week at Rocco Hail. in aid
of the treasury of that institution, for
the support of the orphans under their
charge, and they desire to make an ur-
gent appeal to the public generally for
patronage to sustain their laudable eff
forts. Our treasury is exhausted. We
have no income beyond the voluntary
contributions of the charitable and benev-
olent The summer months are at hand
when many of our patrons are absent.
The number of orphans have greatly in
creased upon our hands, and it should
be known we are the only institution of
the kind in Memphis that takes charge
of very young children (infants) to rear
and educate. We offer an entertainment
worthy of the cause, consisting of sub
stantial fare and all the delicacies of the
season at restaurant prices, where bust
ness men and others can take their
meals in quiet manner, without being
to spend money for fancy
articles or in chances in raffles.

UNHAPPY PARIS.

Who can contemplate for a moment
the terrible condition of affairs at
present existing in Paris without shud-
der The most beautiful city of the
globe-the home of the arts, the abode
of wealth, luxury and civilization, a prey
tn an Infatuated mob. Where are those
magnificent galleries of paintings-the
finest efforts of the old masters--which
have for years afforded delight to pill
grims from every quarter of the globeY
Are they, too, to be lost amid this whole
sale destruction of property? Is the in
cendiary shell, with its lurid glore light
ing up the midnight air, to wreak its
vengeance upon these the finest efforts
of civilization Has the outside world
no interest in this Wholesale destruction
of life and property Is it yet too late
to save from the general wreck so much
that is beautiful, ami for which there
can be no duplicates? Are these mag
nificent parks, the work of years, the
grand public buildings, are they, too, to
share the same fate? And Paris itself,
whose name is but a synonym for beauty,
luxury and elegance, to become heap
of smouldering ashes, and be blotted
from the page of history Heaven for
bid. Is there no way to stop this fratr-
cidal strife, this destruction of the
finest efforts of human genius, and save
these grand galleries Of paintings,
which, though at Paris, belong to civil
cation everywhere, and in which the
whole world has a deep INTEREST,"

Radical Attack upon the Supreme
Court.

Speaking Of the recent legal tender
decision, the New York Tribune says:
The effect ofehis decision cannot but
be to derange business. Powerful cor
porations, welding large political and
moneyed influence, are deeply involved
in the question, and in almost every in
stance the present decision favors their
interests as against those of individual
contractors. The decision, therefore,
Injuries the poor many, and puts i'm
mense sums in the pockets of the rich
and Aourishing few corporations.
Indeed, il is useless to conceal the fact
that public respect for the highest tri-
bunai in the land will be lessened by the
reversal of the original judgment. Not
only will the above circumstances be
quoted in derogation of the court, but
the further one that the two Judges
bradley and Strong), who were instru-
mental in reversing the action of the
court, to the great advantage Of the
great railway and moneyed corporations
of the whole country, were themselves
in railroads atthe time Of their

NASHVILLE is very much excited at
present over the proposed lease to be
made by the city to the Decatur railroad.
Measures to insure the control Of the
railroads centering there have been
taken, and public meetings are being
held. Nashville doesn't propose to be
left out in the cold, and is teaching a
lesson that Memphis might certainly
learn with profit: That by retaining a
controlling interest in her railroads she
will permit no determinations against
her interests.

oblivion and contempt as a man who
has neither discretion enough to keep
out of quarrels nor pluck enough to
carry them through" A man who is
told that he lacks both valor and valor's
better part, discretion, may be fairly
said to have been called id fool. "
