the necessary and incidental expenses.
Many Of these Investigations are at
tended with'considerable expense. This
should be remedied ia some manner.
A number of marriage licenses uncer-
tilted to as executed have been returned
to the County Clerk from the Office Of
the late Esquire Burke. Esquire Burke
failed to attach his certificate to tue
licenses, and the question is now, will
the parties have to be married over
again?-no record of the marriages APP
pearing on the files of the County Court,
a thing deemed absolutely necessary
under the Code Of Tennessee.

MONEY.
PUBLIC LEDGER 0EyIos,

MEMPHIS. TENN. April 20. 1872.
There is no change of importance TO note in
connection with local money matters. and as
on yesterday. The all-absorbing theme Of
conversation on Madison street is the new tax
ordinance. Currency is easy at lO9l2 y cent.
n annum, but only the best class Of CONNER
cial paper is taken at the inside rate. Strictly
prime business paper is taken at the outside
rate, but the date of expiration must not ex-
coed thirty or sixty days. Mercantile depes-
its are increasing, and checking decreasing.
There is, however, not much disposition to
negotiate outside paper. as the banks are I'M
willing to invest their surplus funds on long
date notes.
One transaction Of $1,000 in exchange be-
tween banks is reported to day at So premium
per $1,000, and with that exception our re-
porter failed to CLEAN anything new in the ex-
change line. Counter rates are par buying and
&c premium selling on New York OF other Eas-
tern cities, and 9s91ac discount buying and
par selling on New Orleans.
Gold is bought by dealers at ll01491109S.
The New York rate has advanced TO 1llA.
Local securities are quiet. City bonds long
date currency. are 52g5Sc; gold issue. 6l@62c.
County warrants are scarce, and dealers in-
quiries at 93@9ic fail TO bring much to hight.
The selling rate by those who have them is Soc.
Tennessee money is also scarce, and is cold at
9099lc. Railroad and bank stocks are dull
and unchanged.

very large and complete, and his prices
will be found as low as the lowest. We
advise our readers, when in search of

COTTON.

Sales yesterday were 1000 bales. the market
closing without change. To-day's dispatches
indicate no change in prices or the feeling

is, however. an improved demand for the

small lot of fancy cotton at s6c per pound.
Also, a small list a. "a, and offers of 2S1zc on

DOMESTIC MISCELLANY.

Become Catholics The widow of ex President
Tyler with her daughter and infant grand child,
we're baptized and received into the Catholic church,
at Georgetown, on the first OF May,
Jewish University.-The Jews of Cincinnati pro.
pose to establish great Jewish Univers ty In that
city, and prominent Isrsehte Of Indiana offers a
donation Of $4,000.
Protesting Christians is about one pro-
tossing Christian to eight persons of the entire pop
ulatiOn IF this country. The number of real Chris
ans is not stated that being left tor the of
heaven.
Idolatry in the United statss-A new Chinese
temple was recently cOnseerated IN San Francisco,
and in it are seyenty-6ve gods, TWO Of which are
twenty feet high, and correspon dinghy large.
TIE Inventors of the Sewing Machines gave to
the toilers with the needle boon OF inestimsble
benefit. While blessing the race with their labor
saving machines, it is gratifying to know that they
have pro6ted literally by their business. They have
now an opportunity of bringing the public under
still further obligations. The proprietor of the Viii
son patent has withdrawn his petition for the extern
sion Of his patent If the parties to the powerful
combination that has hitherto kept up the prices of
the machines shall now reduce them nearer to their
actual cost, they Will place them within the means
of many who have been debarred from purchasing
them, aud thus by increased sales may counterbal-
ance the losses OeeasOned by the breaking up OF the
monopoly.
The Treaty Failure-The dispatches from Lon
don that the British Government declined to ae-
cept the supplemental article OF the Treaty of
Washington, as modified and approved by our
Senate, have been confirmed, and there is now
little or no hope of coming to an agreement.
The Amnesty Proclaimed The President has
issued his proclamation of the recent amnesty
authorized by Congress, in which he orders the
district attorneys to discontinue all prosecutions
pending against persons for violation Of the l4th
amendment
The Subscription Made-The Board of superv-
sOrs at an adjourned meeting on Tuesday, decided
on a plan for making the subscription of $40, 0OO
voted by the people in aid Of the Virginia Agri.
cultural and Mechanical College, at Blacksburg
The subscription is to be made the LIST of July,
and is to be paid in eight annual instalments Of
81 500 each. The first payment, for which a
levy has already been laid will be made in warrants
on the County Treasurer, payable LIST of next Jam
uary For the other payments, bonds of the de-
nomination Of $50, $l0O and 5000 will be issued
and turned over to the college directors when they

FOREIGN ITEMS.

Prince Bismarck has at last been forced to yield
TO the advice of his physicians, and take leave of
absence, which, il is understood will extend over
period Of several months or until he is able to re-
sumo the care of mis- most laboriOus post Pro-
trac ed anxiety and stu8y OF the political situation
brought on a kind Of chronic waketulness which
will be dangerous, unless perfect rest is secured.
His retirement from his department will greatly en-
barrass the government, as no one cope so well
as he with the present phcations of the political
field, and especially with the Roman Catholic ques-
ton, which has lately assumed new phase through
the refusal of the Pope to recognize Cardinal Prince
Hoheulohe as Ambassador from Germany on the
ground that no Cardinal can hold such an Office
The appointment is, however, justified by precedent
in the case of Cardinal FeSch, and the natural con-
clusion Is that the Pope does not want German
Minister who is entitled vote at tue ecclesiastical
conelaye.
Is Dr. Livingstone Deadl-Let the. man who
can answer this question positively step forward at
once, and relieve public anxiety, and clear up the
middle about it. The report that Stanley, of the
New York Herald, had found him is not confirmed
up to this time and this like all other reports from
that enterprisiug journal, must be conf med before
it can be believed. At the recent meeting of the
Geographical Society in London, Sir ii. Rawlinson
stated tn the tenor of the last report had been mis-
understood that instead of its being that Mr.. Stan
ley had found DR.. Livingstone, 1t that DR.. Liv-
ingstone had found and relieved Mr. Stanley, who
was without supphesl The report, however is too
vague and indirect to be credited, even when cor
rectly uuderstood and the whole matter of Dr. Liv-
ingstOnes fate and of Stanleys whereabouts is still
involved in perplexing doubt.
