shipping in staunch loyal craft for

country which the Tribune reports to be

He Does Not Retract His Views OF
ku-klux Legislation.
MEMPHIS, May 9.-To-morrow's Ava
lanche says editorislly that the speech of
Gen. Sherman reported by Conway to the
New York Tribune, and reported in last
nights dispatches as having been made at
the Union League Club, at New Orleans,
does not refer to the one delivered at the
American Union Club on the goth ult.
and reported by its New Orleans CORE
spondent, and which has created SO much
excitement IN political circles, but to an
other speech of his before the Union
League Club, IN which he spoke of the
intimate social relations existing between
him and Gems. Bragg and Beauregard,
which was reported in the New Orleans
papers, and severely commented on by
some, while the one reported for the Ava
anche was never published or commented
on by the New Orleans papers, and could
not therefore be the one referred to in the
speech reported by Conway. The Ava
hnche further says that its report was
furnished by an officer of the United
States army who was present when it was
delivered.

No doubt the civil war greately reduced
American shipping. That was natural
consequence. The Radical papers say
that the Alabama caused reduction of
1876, 900 tons year. Since the close of
the war the depredstions of the tariff
have been 500, 600 tons Of shipping per
annum at an annual loss of $l2, 500, 600.

Danger at the Front Platform

The New York Times, in a recent issue,
presents some interesting satisfies in ref
enoe to railroad casualties for the past
year. The figures show that two-thirds
of the accidents occurring within thas
time in connection with street railroadt
have resulted from people alighting from
the front platform, and that one-third OF
such accidents have proved fatal. These
facts very emphatically establish the dan.
gerous nature of such accidents, and are
certainly sufficient to induce additional
care upon the part of the persons getting
on and of street cars. Even if the front
platforms are not so enclosed as to prevent
their use by passengers, there may be
nothing untimely in the public admoni
tioa that there is more safety in the real
platforms as the means of entrance anC
