Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce met last eve
ming to consider the report of special
committee-J. II. Kennard, cbairman-ap-
pointed to consider the utility of granting
a portion of the levee for railroad purposes
to Mr.. Charles Morgan and associates.
The report read was a lengthy one, and
appended to it were interrogatories and
answers propounded and responded by the
committee on the one part. and by the
Mayor and C. A. Whitney & Co. on the
other partial embracing large amount
of statistics and general information. The
report of the committee submitted draft
of an ordinance to be suggested to the
Council, intended to meet the views of the
business community. The conclusions
reached by the committee were that the
Council had acted wisely in refusing the
grant contemplated by the ordinance offered
in Council. and were of opinion that the
Council should refuse to grant the exclu-
sive right of way, or to confirm it, of any
portion of the levee: should refuse to grant
the exclusive right to any accretion except
ing ferry privileges.
The recommendation was made that the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad
be granted the use of batture for the
erection of a passenger depot about where
the present one stands; that the present
track leading from the depot towards Lafay-
ette street be Strengthened lit now describes
a curvel; that the operation of removing
this be commenced and completed ninety
days after the first of May; that the compa-
ny shall abandon, after the reconstruction of
the track, all title to lots Nos. 30, 81 and 32A,
between Lafayette and st. Joseph streets;
that the company be granted $50 feet from
river front between Pile street and the riv
er and Calliope street. No more tracks to
be laid. In return the company are to bind
themselves to construct the road to Texas
from Shreveport within the time specified
in the acts of the Legislature, or in case the
time shall afterwards be extended the ex-
tension shall not be longer than one year.
When the report was read discussion was
elected upon the point whether the city had
a right to grant this property on the
levee, the city only holding it in
trust, Mr.. Burdeau being decidedly
of opinion that the city had no such
right. He was answered by Mr.. Kennard
in saying that in such a case the community
would not be injured in recommending
gift the donor should have no right to con-
fer. Facts of Mr.. Charles Morgans con-
nection with the Mobile and Texas railroad
came out also, it being stated he owned of
the road 81 ,2sO. 900 of the stock
The document met with the commenda-
tion of all the members of the chamber
who spoke of it, and at the conclusion it
WAS decided to frame an ordinance, of
which the outlines were given, as sug-
pestion to the Council, and to accept the
report.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE charges
against Third Auditor Rutherford, for
drawing double communication money, are
progressing.
In the Supreme Court yesterday, Mr.. Jus
tice Strong, in delivering his opinion, over
ruled the former decision of the legal tender
question, which held that greenbacks were
not legal tender for the discharge of con
tracts made subsequent to the passage of
the act: and that the treasury notes are a
legal tender in all cases, except when the
contract calls for some specially named
money.
Mr.. Justice Bradley read cOncurring
opinion, and the Chief Justice and Justices
Clifford and Field read dissenting opinions.
The Chief Justice stated that MIR. Justice
Nelson, who was not present. also dlssents
from the majority views.
The disDatch sent this morning that Gen
eral Emory had been ordered to withdraw
from New Orleans is fully confirmed, and
up to three o'clock no other orders had been
sent him.

THE MEETING IN THE HOUSE.

Immediately after the adjournment of the
Legislature yesterday, the members and
large number of citizens assembled in the
House of Representatives for the purpose
of hearing Governor Warmoth's response
to the invitation of the House. He ap-
peared and took the stand amid enthusias-
tic cheers. He thanked the members of the
House for having invited him to address
them at this time. The action of the Legis-
lature, he said. had given the lie to the
revOlutionist.s A quorum in the Senate had
enabled the work of reform to commence,
and the Governor seemed determined to
have it go on if his aid can help it. He
said that he and the members of the Legis-
lature, who had now fairly entered upon
this work of reform, have not been driven
to it. They have honestly been in favor of
reform measures, but have been de-
layed in carrying them out by the
men who, for the last fifteen days,
have basely absented themselves from
their posts of duty for the purpose Of revo-
lutionizing the State government. These
men have pretended to want reform, when
their only object was to get possession Of
the government. The Governor said that
the very laws that had been repealed were
drawn up by such men as Ray, and passed
through the influence of Carter, Packard,
Lowell & Co. Carter and his clique
had spent seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars Of the public money in brief
period last year, and paid men for work
that was not done. Much ofthis money went
into the pockets of such men as Carter. They
had talked much about reform, but their ac-
tons in staying away from the Senate and
State House prove that they are not sincere
in their professions of reform. They have
been endeavOring to create revolution for
the last fifteen days, and have asked Gen
eral Emory to withdraw troops in order
that they might march upon the Capitol
with lawless mob and capture or destroy
it. They had prevailed upon the President
to order the withdrawal of troops, and he
had done it; but the Governor said he be-
lieved that. if it should become necessary,
President Grant will order military aid in
support of lawful State government; in
the State House, with a quorum in both
houses
Governor Warmoth said that he would
give the revolutiOnists timely notice that
they could 60 no farther IN their nefarious
work of revolution with impunity. He
meant to protect the Capitol and the Legis
lature against the lawless action Of men
who seemed determined to have blood. He
believed that whoever would be the stand
ard-bearer of the Republican party for Gov
ernor next fall, he could be elected without
the aid Of the registration or election laws.
The Governor believes that that portion of
the Legislature which is supporting and
carrying out the reforms recommended by
him and demanded by the people, will be
sustained. After he had concluded his re-
marks. he retired amid the vocifereus ap
pause of those assembled to hear him.

Mrs. ChaDfr8u.

This beautiful and accomplished actress
appeared last evening in &. w. Tayleure'
charming drama, In the Tolls" Mrs. Chan
frau assuming the character of Aurero
Floyd, in which she personated an unfortu-
nate wife struggling with villains. The
plot is rather sensational, yet is SO novel
that the audience is spell bound during the
whole performance. This performance will
be repeated until further notice.

The bitterness of the intelligent sympa-
thizers with revolutionary communists has
now turned against General Emory for
thwarting their insurrectionary schemes,
and they now declare that if they can
work the people up to riot they will make
General Emory one of the first victims.

Says the Golden Age. published in New

York:
William Lloyd Garrison thinks the one
term proposition is merely device to get
rid of renominating Grant, and that the
American people will think twice before
tying their hands so far as to be unable
to elect the man they choose. But the
American people have already tied their
hands SO far as electing man under
thirty-fve or of foreign birth is concerned
Experience has demonstrated that the
safety and welfare of the republic requires
that Presidents hands shall be tied SO
that he shall not squander the public funds
and use tie immense patronage of his office
to secure his own reelection. Mr. Garrison
is right in the matter of tying. only he got
the rope on the wrong wrists.

ma,or Joseph BarbIere.

In another column appears the an
nouneement of Major Joseph Barbiere
as a candidate for Representative in the
Legislature, subject to the decision Of
the voters at the primary election.
Major Barbiere is a most worthy citizen,
a journalist, and gentleman unexcep-
tionabIe in every respect. Possessing
that most necessary element-populari-
ty-his friends, and they are enthu-
siastic and numerous, will rally around
him to man. He has all the necessary
qualifications to make him most useful
legislator. Should he be so fortunate as
to secure the nomination before the peo-
pie, his constituents may expect that
their best interests will be attended to
with ability and pertinacity. Being
thoroughly identiGed with the progress
Of Memphis, our citizens can find no
better representative or one more thor
oughly alive to the necessities Of the
people

VOTING MEN IN THE CANVASS.

Probably the most hopeful sign OF the
future is the position taken in the Presi-
dental contest by the young men of the
country. "Old men for counsel, young
men for action" is an ancient and trite
motto, full of deep philosophy. In war
times the young men have to bear the
brunt of the fray. Upon them depend
the hopes of the country, either in war
or peace. They possess numerous adj
vantages over the old war horses, having
no past predictions or recollections to
overcome, and having no questionable re-
cord to harmonic to things at present ex-
listing. The great tidal wave ofthe people
is advancing. and the young men are out
on the political skirmish line doing good
service. Young men are always the
most enthusiastic political workers, and
the most unsel6sh. They serve party
from conscientious, patriotic principles
and convictions without hope of other

men work under $ promise Of repay

Henry Harrison was carried forward BY
the young usn. In 1850 the young Re
pabhesns Of the North placed Lincoln
in power. From 1861 to 1865 the young
men Of both sections fought, bled and
died lie heroes over obsolete issues and
theoretical principles They fought as
priTatss while older heads waited for
commissions and bOmb-ProOi positions.
Nov the young men Of the North and
South have taken Greeley forward, and
are determined to place him in the Pres
idential chair. When the young men Of
the Republic are nearly all on one side
Of q question no prophetic power is re-
Quired to foretell the result. We there
fore hail the young men as the hope Of
the country. Their earnest Efforts Will
