presses and seysral thousand dollars Of

The police are very reticent con-

The New York Herald's special CORE
sponden, at Paris, sends the following:
Great excitement prevails in Paris To-
day, by the action of a body of French
sailors, belonging to the forces recently
defending the city. They attempted
to substitute the tri-colors for the
red flag Of Republican France on
the Column of July, The act caused
serious disturbance. The sailors were
finally arrested and the flag replaced.
Eight battalions of National Guard have
seized and plundered number of car
riages containing arms and ammunition.

SUMNER.

Sumner has been removed from the
head of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee. 1t was a praiseworthy act on the
part Of men who deserve no praise them
selves. It was the act Of very bad men
dismissing from position a very bad
man, to make room for another very
bad man. The country gains nothing
and loses nothing by the change. They
are all very bad men. Sumner is full Of
malice, and hates the South. They are
all full Of malice, and hate the South.
They do not think that white man
of Southern origin or proclivities, has
any, rights that a negro is under any
obligation to respect. The very bad
man Sumner is attempting to force a
bill through the Senate to enforce negro
supremacy in the South. 1t provides
that the negro shall have access to ho-
tells, places of amusement, etc. If il
pass, aud it probably will, and an at
tempt is made to enforce it, either the
hotels and churches will be abandoned,
or there will commence war Of races.
The very bad man Sumner wants ven
geance. He has never forgiven the
South for the stripes that Brooks laid
across his shoulders.

negro soldiers.

Four negro soldiers and rioters were
fined to-day by toe Recorder, and bound
over 10 keep the peace. These rufianly
negroes attacked the police with bricks,
knives and sabres last evening, on
Shelby street, near the engine-house.
Officers Duffy and Knhnholst acted
with the greatest prudence, and resisted
every legal opportunity to Ere upon
their assaulters. The negroes threatened
TO kill them, and proclaimed that they
would yet take Memphis. 0ficer Duffy 9
life was saved By citizen, who kicked
knife out Of the haHd Of negro sol
der as he had it raised and about "a

the white man who is in command
Of these williams took the side Of
his troops when informed Of these out
RACES, and treated the officers in a rude
and insolent manner. The late riot al
Meridian is q fair indication Of what
may be expected when rufhAnly negro
soldiers are turned loose in the city, no
doubt insdgated BY white men, 70 insult
and attack citizens. Should their con
duct continue, collision between eiti'
zens and negro soldiers may be ex
peeted. These negro troops ought TO Be
removed from Shelby street, where theiI
nightly orgies are beeOEiug an unbeara
bic nuisance.

There have been received this year
and already exported to Great Britain
54S. 900 more cotton balesshan up 70 the
same date last year. Here in Memphis
the receipts are about . third greater
than at the corresponding period OF the
past commercial year. The sum total
shipped from this city before the LIST Of
September next win probably exceed
half a million bales. 1.-THE Little Rock
road were extended to Fort Smith, as II
soon will be, and TO Fulton and Red
river as Il must be, and the road to
Holly Springs, through the very heart Of
the richest districts Of the Gulf States to
Selma, be completed, the number of cot
ton bales sold in Memphis will exceed a
million, and every description Of trade
and source of wealth will be augmented
and enriched to an incalculable extent.
In the same ratio our ability to dis
charge public burdens will be increased.
Within the coming year we may hope
to ,controlat least 100000 bales, via the
Memphis and Little Rock road. How
much can we command via the Selma rail
road? It is a well known fact that one
tenth of the cotton crop of the Southern
States is produced along the projected
line of the Selma railroad; that is to
say, in the counties through which this
road win pass. Estimating the whole
crop at 1900, 600 flour million bales, the
production along the line of the Selma
railroad will be four hundred thousand
(4OO, OOO) bales. How much Of this will
come to Memphis2 A numbsr of large
planters in Alabama have said to Gene
raj Forrest that they would prefer to send
their cotton to Memphis, to sending it
to any other point. The Mississippi
cotton, it cannot be doubted, will
most of it come to Memphis, which
amounts in itself to about 100000 bales.
however, we get 100000 bales
of this, and 100000 bales from Alabama,
that will make 100000 bales, which we
will add to our receipts, making total
receipts of 100000 bales Fer annum,
which, with 100000 bales from the Little
Rock road, will give us a grand total of
one million of bales 100000 bales.
This is, of course, exclusive Of receipts
Of all other articles and of exports to
The line Of these roads, all of which viii
pay us large additional profit. The
prospect opened up to the trade of our
city from these two roads is immense,
and should stimulate our citizens to use
their utmost exertions to hasten their
and extension.
