GRAFTON Of Memphis Merchants.

The Oxford Miss Falcon saws:
Notwithstanding the fact that Ok
ford, and, indeed, this entire section
of country, has, TO within a recent
date, regarded Memphis as their nat
ural and best market for dry goods and
groceries, and, in fact, almost every
thing in the way of merchandise, and
at which to sell their cotton, il is,
nevertheless, true that from some
cause our people are gradually but
surely turning their attention to other
markets. The tide is now evidently
flowing in the direction OF Louisville,
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Paducah, New
Orleans and other cities, and cOnse-
quently Memphis, although our near.
est, most accessible and natural mar
ket, is losing q valuable trade she has
uninterruptedly enjoyed for so long a
period of years-in fact, ever since
she has been a shipping point. We
have naturally inclined to Memphis,
and have frequently interrogated our
merchants as TO their reasons for with
drawing their patronage from that
place, and almost invariably received
the answer that her merchants do not
offer the same Inducements as those
OF Louisville, New Orleans and other
cities, and, In fact, that Memphis Is
making but little effort to control the
trade of this section Of country.
ssPerhaPs there Is no town in Missis-
sippi, the size Of Oxford, that sells as
many goods as do the merchants Of
this place. Last season, cotton from
Pamela, POntOtOc and Calhoun, and
even as far as 0kolona, was brought
TO this market and sold, and supplies
furnished the producers by the mer-
chants of this pisee; snd this fall we
anticipate much heavier trade than
heretofore received. We are q people,
and doing a business not to be ig-
nOred. Our merchants are expert
enced and known to the commercial
world, and viii deal wherever they
can procure the best bargains. If the
merchants of Memphis desire this val
liable trade, they should make an et-
fort. before it Is too late, TO control il.
These suggestions are thrown out for
their consideration"

equal protection of its laws or abridge
5he right OF citizen to vote on account

other denials of power
10 the States, and all these denials of
power stand upon the same footing,
and are TO receive q like interpreta-

10 State shall coin money or emit
bills OF credit, or make anything but
gold and silver a legal tender, or
PASS any bill of attainder, or impair
