As usual on the first three or four
days Of each month, there is an i'm
proved demand, and while the banks in
most cases are supplying the wants Of
favored customers at l0@l2 y cent, the
demand is such that from 2lCa4 p cent.
is iealized on shert date paper, secured
by collaterals, the outside rate being an
exception. In tie face Of this demand,
however, a majority of the banks report
that the Indebtedness falling due to-day
is being met promptly, and that the ap-
plication for extension is much less than
was even anticipation. Collections, also
heavy, are paid with the. usual prompt
ness which places Memphis merchants
AL in Northern cities, and, as before
stated, although the situation is Gloss,
there is no immediate danger anticipa-
ted. and the present month, the closest

day, although rumor is current that
one or two small institutions are seeking
customers at s@le. New Orleans bills
are taken at f@sc discount, and the sell

Bank transactions to-day amounted to

Local investments are without any

Axnnni va Thinxa.,


The influx Of thieves aud cutthroats
from other cities since the Exposition
commenced has been unparalleled in
the history Of Memphis. The Wesson
and Speed garroters will arrive from
Vicksburg at $3.50 this afternoon
over the Mississippi and Tennessee rail-
road, and will be located in the county
jail to await a trial before a jury Of their
countrymen in the Criminal Court. Last
evening a delegation of the swell
mob reached the city on board the
steamer St. Francis, from Helena, Ark,
where they have been attending the
County Fair. Last night they scat
tered throughout the city, but the
police authorities having been informed
Of their arrival, they were arrested
and locked up until this morning, when
they were interviewed as Migrants and
fned by the Recorder. We are pleased
to be able To state that since the LEDGER
opened up ON police matters the police
authorities have been on the alert, and
have done good service in arresting sus-
picious characters. We hope they will
not grow weary in well doing, but con-
tinue to be in the future as they have
been during the past week-active, vigi-
liant and wide-awake. No paper in
Memphis will praise them according to
their deserts more enthusiastically than
the LEDGER, nor will any paper condemn
them more squarely and pointedly when
they fail to come up to public expecta-
tons. We know there has been lack
Of proper discipline in the force for
some months, but all this is now being
rapidly remedied.

MArdi Gras.

Arrangements are already being made
for the grand Mardi Gras festivities tc
be celebrated next Shrove Tuesday
The Exposition building has been en-
gagged for the occasion, and then the
cheerful Mosques will promenade and
dance to lively music. Lou Leubrie,
who is one of the managers, is in favor
Of devoting the proceeds over and above
expenses to the establishment of pub
lie library, and thinks sufficient sum
will be realized to form nucleus at
least. The committee will not solicit
any subscriptions this year, believing
their grand festival can be made a sue
cess without any assistance of that sort.

On the 18th inst. an election for Off

the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad.
Not long since Mr.. James Yonge re-
signed his position as Superintendent.
Col. Z. D. Frost has been appointed
General Superintendent, and Mr.. M.
Burke, late master machinist on the
Charleston road, has been appointed
Superintendent to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Mr.. Yonge. Mr..
Yonge, since his appointment upon the
road, has given universal satisfaction,
and has won for himself golden opinions
from all classes of our citizens. He has
embarked in mercantile pursuits as q
member Of the firm of f. NJ. White & Co.,
Of this city, and will in the future de-
vote himself to this branch Of business
Mr.. Burke, his successor in Office, was
in ante.bellum days master mechanic of
the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad,
and of late years held the same respon-
Sible position on the Charleston road
He Is known to be one Of our most en-
terprising and popular citizens, one who
possesses "a thorough, practical knowl-
edge Of machinery and railroad trans
portation affairs. The road has passed
into the hands of Colonel McComb,
President of the Southern Railroad As
sociatien, and under his able manage
ment it will be run in close connection
with the Mississippi Central and New
Orleans and jackson railroads, which
are controlled by the same association.
Colonel F. NJ. White yet retains his pos
;tiep as President of the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad, and will in all prob
ability be reelected or the llth inst. to
continue in that responsible position,
which he has filed so ably for years
past A grand trunk line from Mem
ph;s to NeF Orleans has been created,
and the management viii no doubt be
such as viii be of benefit to our city by
regulating the tariffs Of charges slsng

The "Lady killer" In Memph,.

Judge Advocate John A. Bingham, Of
Chic, who figured at the trials of Mrs.
Surratt and others convicted by Andy
Johnson's Military Commissions, and
who afterward figured in the johnson
impeachment case, driited into Memphis
last Saturday, and addressed a mixed
audience of two hundred people at Coch-
ran hall. 1t will be remembered that
during a Congressional row between
Bingham and Ben Butler, the latter gave
the significant title of Lady Killer" to
the Ohio man-but he certainly does
not look the character.
HIS PICTURE AND SPEECH.
Mr.. Bingham does not present fas
cinating appearance. He is aged about
fifty-six; is a triangular sort of person
with small gray eyes, thinly scattered
gray hairs, Greeley whiskers, aud pos
sessing rather sinister expression o
countenance. He wore black frocl
coat buttoned up in front; faded graz
pants; No. IL boots, with low heels and o
bad shape; on old-fashioned black stool
surrounded his neck which was encaseC
in a stand.up collar Such is Judge AID
vocate Bingham, Of Ohio, as he ap
pears on his tour or pilgrimage tC
the South. His voice is harsh, anC
has an occasional quaver in it
resembling that of broken down prime
donna. The rising and falling infec
tons are not good. His manner wa'
altogether stiffiy Congressional. During
the delivery of his rehearsal harsngue
he wore his right arm akimbo, resting
his clenched fist on his hip, his left arm
swinging in circles, curves and triangles
by way of enforcing his circular, curvi'
liniar and triangular figures of speech,
His opening sentence was not calculated
to impress iavorably either the scholar
or the critic. He said, II am among you
this evening in the character of q
simple American citizen" etc. We
presume Mr.. B. intended 20 say that he
was simply" an American citizen
but he knows better than we
in what character he desired tc
appear before "a Memphis audience.
Mr.. Bingham's accent is not good, and
his pronunciation is little better. The
following are examples with the X
"Konsider,' "knntest," "kontrol,
konviction," eto. His voice was
nasal, even to unpleasaptness. Mr.
Bingham is quite an able political de
batter, and is thoroughly familiar with
the history Of the country. He gives
Andy johnson several side wipes,
that contained the sting Of the trained
political gladiator. His speech, boiled
down, analysed and distilled, was al
follows: Greeley is unworthy Of Dem
ocratic or Republican support. He il
an ass. Grant is the greatest man o.
the age. No necessity foF reconciliation
or amnesty. Grant will be overwhelm'
ingly elected" If Mr.. Bingham
speech, stripped of the rhetoric and
rhodomantade nonsense about Genera
Lee and Andrew jackson, thrown out
as tub to Tennessee whales, had in il
any other ideas or points, we failed to
detect them during the dreary twc
hours that Mr.. Bingham enjoyed Will,
vabblipg on the gudge9n." AF
Bingham is not we'll calculated 70 in
spire Mempbisns With enthusiasm, siiheI
for Bingham or his dread master, Mr.
Autocrat Grant
