The Jofnt High Commlssion-neN
Department. Building.

WAsHrxGroN, May 6. There is no
additional news from the Joint High
Commission treaty. 1t is not yet en-
crossed and signed, but nearly ready for
engrossing, and viii be signed on Mon
day probably. The State Department
has been printing the work of the Com
mission since the second day it met, and
this fact gave rise to rumor that the
treaty had been printed, which is denied.
The Cabinet had avery short meeting
to-day, and if the work of the Commits
sion was taken up it certainly received
very brief consideration.
Senators Cameron and Morton were to
90 home last night, and no doubt had
the subject of management in the Senate
under consideration.
Work upon the new State Department
building will be commenced as soon as
the details for the design Of the new
structure can be determined upon. The
south wing will he'irst erected. The en-
tire building when finished will cover
nearly the same area as the Treasury
building.

rur rrrRAvAaANcE or CITIES.

A few DAYS since we took occasion to
notice the general complaint Of hard
times, which seems at present to pervade
the agricultural community of the South,
This, while doubtless. being true of the
planting interest yet can it be truly said
of our cities2 Is not the extravaganza
and dissipation of our large cities rather
on the increase? Do our ladies dress
any the less extensively than fewyears
since, when times were not so hard and
money more plenty7 1t was our fortune
on last night TO attend the Nilsson con-
cert. and Tor the moment we could
scarcely realize that we we're in local
ity where hard times had even been
thought Of. Snch a magnificent display
of elegantly dressed ladies, such rare
bouquet of beautiful flowers, it has
rarely been our good fortune 70 wit
ness. Listening to the Swedish warbler
were our handsomest bellies, arrayed IN
most gorgeous attire, the richest OF
silks. sparkling with diamonds, rivaling
in briIliancy their own bright eyes.
Surely. we thought, there can be no hard
times in Memphis. Adding to this
crowded house-the price Of admission
being higher than that ever paid any other
artistic in this country save one-we
think conclusiyely establishes the fact
that if the country is suffering Mem
phis is prosperous. Bnt is not this lux
urious style of .living-this fondness for
show and display-productive too fire.
auently of disastrous results2 Why
have we so many clever young men
remaining on the bachelor list who
should be benedicts7 One Of the causes,
saws the New York Mail, is the fact that
the preliminary expenses nowadays are
as much as would have kept the young
couple comfortably for couple of years.
Solitaire engagement rings, clothes,
cards. carriages, church, music, parson
fee, and wedding tour, will amount to
nearly three thousand dollars at the
ouietest wedding. But everything now
seems to be conducted upon the high
pressure principle--peoplc must have
money, and spend it, too; merchants
must live-and thus wags the world, for
such is destiny.

Convention of the American Medi-
cal Association,
SAN FRAHoIsoo, May d.--In the con-
yention of the American Medical Asso-
citation yesterday, the principal topic of
discussion was the admission Of female
delegates. In the morning session a
resolution for the admission of females
into the Association, after consid-
cradle debate, in which speeches were
made by Messrs. Thomas, Of Philadel-
phia, and Harding, of Indiana, in sup
port OF the resolution, and Johnson, Of
Missouri, in opposition. The resolution
was laid over. Upon the assembling of
the convention in the afternoon the
question was again revived, and a
resolution introduced according a pro-
fessional recognition to female physi-
clans, and acknowledging their right
as members to be received as gra-
duates of the female institute. The
was warm, and after an ex-
citing debate the resolution was made
special order for an extra evening ses-
sion. During the evening session, the
question was again discussed, and con-
tinued until IL pm, at which time the
question was still under consideration.

To-day will be celebrated at Elmwood
Cemetery by the citizens Of Memphis
and vicinity in paying floral tribute to
the memory Of the Confederate dead,
who rest in their green graves, where,
after life's fitful fever they sleep WE'LL "
The survivors of the great contest dur.
| ing the late war between the States Flip
PANTY called rebelIion), can look back
down the vista of years to the fierce
struggles upon many red battlefield
with pride and satisfaction, well know
ing that in the great struggle for liberty
they did their duty. But there is a more
melancholy picture before them, over
which the mind wanders in sadness and
sorrow The thousands Of green graves
in cemeteries, on the hills and in the
valleys of the South tell sad tale of
brave voices hushed in death, courageous
hearts still forever manly forms resting
beneath the sod until the judgment day,
desolate homes, the vacant chairs, the
widows and orphans, left as sad inner
itance, all to tell the story of the times
when the Conquered Banner fell for
ever beneath the eye of the immortal Lee.
To-day thousands of our citizens will
attend the services at Elmwood. The
graves of the dead will be strewn with
flowers, and another anniversary will
pass away, another year float by ST.
lently, but still the memory of the dead
will be kept green throughout time. The
Greeks kept alive for ages the glories of
those who defended Thermopyle and
those who fell at Marathon; and the
ladies Of the South will renew annually
the fires that burn in the temples Of
Southern patriotism, so that the recol-
lections of the heroic dead will only pass
away when time shall be no more,

from the kitchen last evening. The po-
lice rushed to the scene of the supposed
accident, but when they reached the

screaming with delight over the baking

southern Claims.

The Washington Patriot of Saturday
says;
1t is already apparent from the char.
aeter Of many of the claims filed and
the testimony taken in public session
that the limited time and labor Of the
commissioners are likely to be needlessly
taken up, and much money spent, hopes
entertained and anxiety created use
lessly by claimants, through miscon-
ception Of the class of cases that Con
gress intended should be settled by this
commission. 1t would be best for claim
ants TO satisfy themselves first Of all, not
only of their ability to prove known 10y
atty throughout the war, but that such
property as they lost was taken either by
or BY the authority of persons whose Off
cial position, or whose particular situa-
ton at the time, gave them the right to
take it, OF else that the property taken
went, beyond question, into the service
of the Government, and not into the in
dividual possession of officers or soldiers
not authorized or ordered, nor compelled
by necessity, to take private property
for public uses. Cases OF unauthorized
depredations by the United States troops,
or Of damages TO property caused by the
presepce or movements Of the army, if
settled at all, must wait for further legis-
lation by Congress.
1t will appear from the above that
what is known as damage cases will not
be considered by the Commission, and
the Commission will coniine itself mainly
to what is known as quartermaster aud
commissary supplies.

The Paris instruction bids fair to hold
out almost as long as the FrancO-Prus-
sian war. Nearly every day for weeks
we have been told that the fratricidal
struggle was about over-that the Reds
we're in extremity, and still the end is
not yet While the Communists are I'M
doubtedly resisting with remarkable te-
nacity and desperation, and the progress
Of the Government in squelehing the
rising is slow and difficult, still We are
compelled TO believe that law and order
must eventually triumph over anarchy

THOSE highly yirtuous individuals who
send money to the New York saw
dust swindlers in the hope of receiving
a return Of counterfeit money are likely
to come to grief. Their letters are to be
retained and opened at the New York
postoffice, and the name Of the writer
forwarded to the postmaster where
written with instructions to post it con-
spicuously in the Office with statement
of the facts. The idea is a good one,
and if carried out some rich develop
ments may be expected. The man who
is mean enough to buy counterfeit
money with the intention Of passing it
upon his unsuspecting neighbors, is
mean enough to steal his neighbors'
sheep if he though he would not get
found out, and it is right that the public
should be informed Of his intention.
