In the Second Circuit Court William
Harris (eolored) has fled q petition for
divorce against Ellen Harris. on the
charge Of violating the seventh CON-
mandment. Our religious reporter
made frantic efforts to locate the odense
under its proper heading. and TO his sur
prise discovered that four law clerks and
FIVE leading lawyers, to whom he had APP
piled for information, were unable to
repeat the ten commandments from
memory, and an appeal to the Book be-
came necessary. Our reporter is wiling
to bet bis money that the great majority
Of men in Memphis oanhet repeat the

roa,l which leads TO Knoxville, from
which point to Memphis the distance
will rot exceed four hundred and twenty
miles. Allthat Norfolk has to do, there
fore, to put herself by the shortest route
in railroad conRection with Memphis, rs
TO aid in the construction of some three
hundred aud seventy miles of railroad,
BY way of Chattanooga the connection
can be made by building sixty or sew
euty. miles. Norfolk owes it to the State
Of North Carolina to avail itself Of these
railroad connections in opening up COM
munication with the West. Memphis is
to be the crossing place Of the Missis-
sippi over the Southern Pacific railroad,
and Norfolk is the natural terminus on
the seacoast. You owe IL to us to let
the valuable trade pass through our
State. Ii is the direct route, and more
than half completed to Memphis.

The Tribune of this morning, speaking of
the closing ceremonies in the Greeley obse-
quies, says: Yesterday the last act in the
prolonged obsequies of Horace Greeley was
performed in the presence. one might say, of
the whole people Of the United States. In.
New York and Brooklyn business came to
stand-the merchant forsook his ledger. the
lawyer abandoned his books. the laborer
dropped his hod, the poor girl laid aside her
needle, and all stood reverently by the wayside
while the good, gray head which all men
know was borne sorrowfully to its last rest.
The whole country sympathized with us; from
one end of the land to the other flags dropped
at half-mast. and mourning drapery hung
before closed doors. There have been richer
pagcants than this. but there has been no such
such touching demonstration of
popular feeling"
The steamer Scanderia left this port on the

portions of the wreck of the steam err Guaitama
have been seen on the coast, but no tidings Of
the missing vessel under command Of first

NEW and eleven other persons have been re-
ceiyed. 1t is believed that the boat was car
ried to sea with the wind and current. very |

yided with food Of any kind there Is little
hope of their surviving.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, December 5.-A meeting OF the
prominent distilers of the West was held yes
terday at the fremont House for the purpose
of uniting on a uniform schedule of prices,
and an advance on the present rates. No
definite action was taken. II was proposed to
dispense with the liquor brokers of this city,
and in this way distilers can realize greater
profits.

money realized by the sale Of the pictures Of

zane hundred and thirteen cases proved

disease is not confined to cities, but has
snreod over the country in various direc-
lions. Even up in East Tennessee
where cpidemics are almost unknown,
number of cases have been re-
ported. some of them fatal, and
whole counties kept in state OF
alarm Exaggerated reports, of course
are always put in circulation, and when
the truth is told we are often reminded

no authority, and could not enforce the
necessary sanitary measures. we DO
not think, from what the physicians say,
that small pox is yet an epidemic, but 1t
NAV become so, and thea oil classes will
be attacked. In view Of the danger
which threatens the health and prosper
ity of the city, we could wish that the
Board of Aldermen and Common Coun-
ell had taken more decisive action on
the subject than was had at the meeting
of those bodies yesterday evening. And
unless there is marked change for the
better very soon, we hope the Mayor
will see proper to call special meeting
of the Aldermen and Couneilmen, and
that Board of Health will be appointed
with full authority and the cooperation
of the police to enforce such sanitary
measures as may be deemed necessary
to arrest the progress Of the loathsome

FROM NORFOLK TO MEMPHIS.

A lively railroad controversy Of re-
mote consequential importance 10 Mem
phis has been going on for some time
between the Knoxville and Lynchburg
papers. The former represents Tom
Scott, Captain Jaques, c. N. NcGhee
and their associates, while the Virginia
papers represent General Malone. The
General, it seems, had put in bid in
some shape for the East Tennessee rail-
roads, but at a recent meeting Of stock
holders in Knoxville it appeared that
these roads had passed into the control
of Tom Scott & Co., and also that the
road running south from Morristown,
forty miles above Knoxville, into North
Carolina, had passed iat0 the hands Of
the same parties. This developed tbe as
founding fact that Scott was seeking sd
outlet al Norfolk for all his southwestern
connections without touching the lines
controlled in Virginia BY Gen. Malone.
Since then the war of words hes been
hot all along the line. The Knoxville
papers charge General Malone with H.
terfering with the business objects OF
the late stockholders meeting at Knox
vile through paid attorneys, and the
Virginia papers retort that the East
Tennessee railroad officials have be-
trayed the small stockholders, and sold
ont to Tom Scott to enrich thamselves.
The little stockholders, however, haze
failed thus far to view it in that light
A direct connection with Norfolk is what
we would like TO see, aud that all under
one management, without any toll-gates
in the mountain passes.
A Raleigh correspondent Of the Nor
folk Journal, who rather over-estimates
the work to be done on the route sought
to be opened by Tom Scott, addresses
himself as follows:
You Norfolk people are talking Of a
Great Western railroad, but If You will
open your hearts a little, and your eyes,
you will find one already built to the foot
Of the Alleghenies. The Seaboard aud
Roanoke railroad. the Raleigh and Gas
ton, aud the North Carolina Central,
form a direct line Of communication
with the West now in operation, Of more
than four hundred miles in length
This line might be Strengthened by a
road from Henderson to Hillsborough,
fifty miles in length. From the foot Of
the mountain TO Asheville the road is
graded, and thence to the Tennessee
line, thirty-seven miles further, 1t is un-
