ORR MERCHANTS THE INTERESTS OF
MEMPHIS, ETC.

When n work of great public impor-
.onoa;s IN he consummated in which all
ore interested, the merchants of Mem
pbis have usually had to bear nearly the
entire burthen. Heretofore they have
always evinced zeal for the good OF
the entire city, which speaks volumes in
their praise; and so frequently has this
been the case that it seems expected OF
them that il all public improvements
they are to take the lead and carry
it through sharing the burden of ex-
pense among themselves. Is this rightY
Is this just? Are not the property
owners equally if not more interested in
the prosperity of Memphis than her
merchants (who, in great majority OF
instances. do not even own the stores in
which they do business)2 Are not the
professional men, the hotels, in fact all
classes of citizens also Interested And
yet why impose upon one class the bur
then Of carrying forward all these much
needed improvements We know of no
city where there is more enterprise and
public spirit than among the merchants
Of this city. At the meeting OF the
Chamber Of Commerce, which takes
place this evening, we learn that several
important subjects are to be brought up
and discussed, and among Others is APP
pointing delegates to the Planters Con-
yention. TO assemble in this city in June,
and also to secure to our city the con-
troll of the White and Arkansas River
Packet Companies. AS to the import
ance of the first we have hereto
fore given our views in full; and
as to the latter we think it indis-
pensible to our continued prosperity to
have the carrying trade from those
rivers continue in the interest Of Mem
phis. The reason for it seems to us
clear. The receipts Of cotton this year
ap to this date have been nearly 100000
baIes-200 600 more than last year-and
fully one-half Of this amount comes to
our city by the White and Arkansas
river packets. At glance, then, it will
be seen how important these lines are to
Memphis, and what disastrous conse-
quences must surely result from this
trade bsing diverted to other places.
Already ST. Louis and New Orleans are
bidding for this trade, and will succeed
unless there is prompt, decisive and
united action among our whole peo-
pie. We call upon our professional
men, and real estate owners especially,
to attend the meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce this evening, and lend their
counsel to the discussion Of and their
purse to the carrying out of the several
important projects which it is expected
will be brought before that body, and let
not the whole burden Of expense and
responsibility fall upon our merchants.

The Column vendome.

The Column Vendome, recently over
thrown and destroyed by the insurgents
in Paris, is thus described:
The column stood in the Place Ven
dome, which was erected in 1858 by Louis
XIV, on the site Of the hotel belonging
to the Duke Vendome, son OF Henry Nv.
The place is octagonal in form, 400 by
$50 feet The buildings bordering on
the square are beautiful, and of Corin-
THAN architecture. In the center for
merly stood an equestrian statue Of Louis
XIV, which was demolished by the peo-
pie during the first revolution, the base
only being saved. In 1906 Napoleon /
gave orders for the erection Of the tri-
umphal monument, which has Just been
hurled 10 the ground, in honor OF the sue
cess Of the French arms The column was
Of Tuscan order, and copied after Ira
Jan Pillar at Rome. Its height was l35
feet; circumference at the base. 36 feet;
the base was about q feet high and 20
feet square, and the column could be
assembled by a winding staircase Of l76
steps. The column was covered by the
bas-reliefs in bronze, composed Of 2T6
plates, made out Of 1900 pieces OF can
non taken from the Russians and Aus
TRANS, representing the victories Of the
French armies in the German campaign
of 1905. There we're over 2000 figures
Of feet high, and metal used weighed
about 360,0 pounds. The column was
surmounted by colossal bronze statue
Of Napolean l., II feet high. The one
familiar to the Parisians with the cooked
hat and military surtout, was taken
down in 1863; the hero appeared in the
s.=..ssS that was torn down in a Roman
toga. The whole cost was about $3O5,
600. From the summit the best view Of
Paris could be obtained

PARIS.

The telegraph informs us to-day that
the Versaillists have entered Paris wi'n
a dispatch from Theirs officially con
6rming the fact OF the entrance OF the
troops into the city, with the flight OF
the Communist leaders, and that great
manic exists in Paris. We hope now
the struggle will close, and the people OF
that unhappy country will set about a
remuneration of their exhausted fortunes,
and that once beautiful city commence
again her rapid progress in the onward
march to greatness.

The Chicago Times wants to know
why Grant, under the Ku-Klux bill, did
not interpose to put down the coal riots
in Pennsylvania. 1t pertinently adds:
There has not been riot in the South
ern States since the close of the war in
which more men were engaged. Is
Grant afraid to interfere with what
Geary considers to be his business2
Did the message of Geary condemning
the employment of Federal officers and
troops in State elections suggest that
the lynching act could not be enforced
in Pennsylvania?

THE PLANTERS AND LAND OWNERS
CONVENTION.

We learn from the Nashville papers
that Messrs. A. s. COlyar and John
MoiFat have been appointed delegates to
represent Nashville in the Planters
Convention to be held in this city on the
lat of June next. Our Chamber Of Com
merce is expected to take some action
in the matter this evening, and the va
rious counties in Tennessee, Mississippi
and Arkansas, as we learn, will send
strong delegations Below we publish 2
communication from Messrs Donoho a
Bulkley, real estate and emigration
agents, of this city, two real active,
wide-awake men, and who have taken a
very prominent part in making the con-
vention a success:
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
Perhaps no convention which has been
called in the South, either before or
since the war, has for its objects the dis
cussion aud adoption of measures Of
more vital importance to the planting
and commercial community than that
proposed to be held by the planters and
landowners in this city, on the LIST and
ID Of June. The country needs more
population and productive labor, and the
consequent prosperity must be felt and
enjoyed in the same ratio by our cities
and towns How are We to get this adj
ditiOnal population How are We to re-
tain and make il most availableY Are
we TO do these by the present policy,
which is no policy at all; or are we to 20
to work in earnest, by organized and CO
operative eforis2 When shall We begin
-nOr. or at some indefinite future
These are questions for the exercise OF
that convention, and we trust that every
man interested, who can possibly do so,
will come OF see to it that large and
strong delegation Of earnest, 0cfire and
ride 0rdke Representatives are sent from
every county and neighborhood in West
Tennessee, Arkansas, and North and
Central Alabama and Mississippi. Now
Is the time 70 accomplish most success
fully what may fail by delay, and the in
dications now looming up promise an
immense concourse Of planters and land
owners on that occasion. There is no
time 10 be lost in availing ourselves Of
the opportunity 10 redeem the agricul-
tural and commercial interests Of this
section from their present deplorable
condition.

WASHINGTON.
Ratification of the Treaty Regarded
ns Certain.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-The ratifca-
ton of the treaty by the Senate being
now regarded as certain, speculation
begins to turn on the probable commits
sioner who will go to Geneva on the part
of the United States. AS the formation
of the Geneva Commission owing to the
great Importance attached to the Ala
bama claims question, and also the sub
iect of the British claims on the United
States, is regarded as of strong con-
sequence, Senators and others are looking
around for a suitable person. The nome
of Secretary Fish has been mentioned
in connection with the position, and also
that of Senator Williams who wasA a
member Of the Joint High Commission.
1t is doubtful whether the latter would
accept, on account Of important legal
cases in which he is now engaged.
The sub committee of the Joint Com
mission to investigate the condition of
Southern affairs during summer net to-
day, and after passing some resolutions
preliminary to beginning its active la
bors, adjourned till June LIST Chairman
Prescott was authorized to summon
such witnesses as in his discre-
ton he might deem proper or neces-
sary, so that when the members come
together again, the taking of evidence
may begin at once. A circular will be
sent 10 the Governors of the States in
forming them of the investigation and
its purpose, and inviting their co-opera-
ton.
The churches of this city are occupied
with labors preliminary TO the meeting
Of the international convention of the
Young Mems Christian Associations on

VERSAILLES, May 22-The Versailles
troops have carried the insurgent works
at the Antenille viaduct and also at
Chenille. Shortly before midnight they
entered and occupied both villages,
The vanguard column of the Govern
ment troops at Port du Jour has pene-
trated the city as far as the Ecole Mill
taire, meeting with but Slight resistance
from the Communists.
The Communists are concentrating
for resistance on the north side Of the
Seine; the south side is being entirely
abandoned, being too much exposed to
the fire of the Versailles artillery.
Generals Donau, rAdmirahlt and Gin
ahant commanded the Government
troops.
Half of the government army is now
within Paris. They have proceeded as
far as the Arc de Triumphe Firing is
in progression in the Champs Elysee.
Fresh troops are entering every mo-
ment. The resistance opposed by the
is feeble and easily overcome.
The ruinous scene presented within
the city gives painful evidence Of the
result of the late bomhardment. The
streets are in many places impossible
on account of the ruins and debris
caused by the Versailles shells.
The ramparts have been almost de-
serted by the Insurgents, and the guns
are being turned against them by the
Versaillists.

IL consequence of the recent death of

power. Mr.. Weston, the Democratic

cheated out Of the seat just as Gov.
