MONEY IRREGULAR.
The money market was active early In the day,
and borrowers paid seven per cent OH govel 'ament
collateras, and seven per cent. In gold, stocks.
There was also large trade IN turning stocks st
l-32 per cent commission in addition to legal inter.
est. Before three O'Clock, however there was
marked relaxation, owing to the Treasury disburse
ments for the bonds bought yesterday, and balances
were freely offered at five per cent before the close Of
banking hours. some OF this money came from par
ties reputed to have been concerned in the locking
up operations earlier In the week. and their willing
ness to lend was therefore regarded with some sus.
picion The leading bank which was creditor at the
Clearing House yesterday for over 81. 600. was
debtor to-day for the same amount, showing a res
toratlon of money to the street. The officials Of the
bank discaim connection with any locking-up ope-
ration, and assert that the money was deposited In
the course Of legitimate business by the agents OF
one OF the Canadian banks who were changing their
loans In the gold market.
Prime commercial paper was quoted 10 q Is per
cent discount.
Foreign exchange was nrmer on the basis OF 1887
for prime bankers sixty day sterllng ana l09a< for

The cable announces that the Bank OF England
made no alteration OF the rate or discount this
morning. anu that the stock OF bullion had increased
9l,So0, 600 during the week.
THE GOVERNMENT SALE or GOLD.
The Assistant Treasurer received bids to the
amount OF $5,o40,000 for the government gold
offered to-day at prices ranging from no. % to 1l177.
The sale OF two millions was effected at 11l.77 o
111.60
The Treasury paid out $3.50 900 on account Of No.
yemDer interest," making total SO far OF 100000.
The buyers OF the gold sold to-day took out 5000
leaving 81, 900 worth to be paid for tomorrow.

The gold market was strong owing to purchases
by the clique, who are arranging 10 place them

bids for the government gold also helped the al.

Our Railroad Interests.

On the 18th of March next the voters
Of Shelby County will be called upon TO
vote on the question of ratifying the
action of our County Court in its sub
scription of FIVE hundred thousand dol
lars to the Selma, Marion and Memphis
Railroad. This road is one Of vast i'm
portance to the interests of our citizens,
and when finished will be Of inealcula-
bic benefit to Memphis. At the January
term of our Quarterly Court the matter
of subscription was generally canyassed
and discussed. The result was, that the
subscription was voted for almost unani-
mouslv by the Court 1t is to be paid in
FIVE yearly installments of 100000
each, and on Saturday, March 18th
next the sense Of the qualified voters OF
the county will be tested. That the
voters of our county viii almost unani'
mously indorse the action Of the County
Court we have no doubt, because it is Il
the interest of our people that this high
way Of trade and travel should extend
to Memphis. 1t will open up to Mem
phis enterprise vast and rich agricul
tural field. The thousands Of bales o.
cotton now being transported TO Mobile
from this territory will reach Memphis
and odd materially to the prosperity and
progress Of Qur fair city.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON February 27.-ln the
House the miscellaneous appropriation
bills being the regular order of business
we're taken up for consideration.
The Judiciary Committee submitted
report on memorial of the Choctaw
Nation, which was ordered printed and
recommitted. The Senate amendments
to the executive, legislative and Judicial
appropriation bills were non-concurred
in, and conference committee or
dered. A similar order was obtained in
relation to the disagreement on the In
dian Appropriation bill
A resolution was offered that the docu:
ments be ordered printed by the forty
first Congress, and which may not be
printed until December LIST next, to be
distributed by members of the forty
FIRST Congress, as provided by law, was
adopted.
The Miscellaneous Appropriation bill
was then resumed. A motion to insert
paragraph appropriating $4,000 fol-
work on the navy yard to be situated on
the Thames river. was rejected.
In the Senate, the Committee on Rail-
roads reported favorably on the bill to
incorporate the Cincinnati and Southern
railroad.
Trumbulrs resolution to pay Messrs.
Hill and Miller, the Georgia Senators,
from date of election (29th of July,
1869, and to pay Whitley and Farrow
from date of alleged election to the time
the Senate declared them not entitled to
seats, was taken up and adopted.
The forthcoming speech of Senator
Sumner on the Presidents West India
policy is creating excitement in political
circles. The senator's friends in the
Republican party have been advising
him to abandon his war upon the Presi-
dent; and several Of the most promin-
ent of them have warned him that
his course will meet the disapproyal
Of large majority of the party: Sum
ner, however, is memorable, and the re-
suit of his speech will probably be his
removal from the Craftsmanship of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. The
Republican Senators argue that 1t Is
alike unjust to the administration and
TO a majority in Congress who support
the administration, to have at the head
of the leading committee Of the Senate
q Senator as hostile TO the President as
any on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Sumner is not as sick as he ha'
been represented in some of the newspa
pers. He expects to b., out tomorrow
and on Thursday will probably make ms
speech in the Senate He already talk
OF impeaching the President.
