PERSONAI.-Mr. ltuLt Powell. a citizen
OF Memphis, has been with rs for several
days, enjoying the congratulations and
welcome of many friends who remember
him rs II of our Owl in years past. Mr..
Powell was once Deputy Sheriff of Frank
lin c~ounty-was very popular, and made
impressions in his favor which will long
survive his death. We believe he is still
in our town, at the residence of his broth
er-in-law-Gco. W. Hunt.
Mr.. ". c. Handy, of Nashville. has
been spending Il few days with his rela-
tions and friends in this, his native cOun-
ty. Although his business engagements
may conline him to Davidson county as Il
citizen we are sure that memories-dear
memorics-of old Franklin will never fade
from his brain.
Capt. A.. ). Stewart was in town a few
days since, looking As hale and fresh as
ever. We would be glad if circumstances
should combine to make him a resident Of
our Town de facto' and "de jure.' Sclah!
Mr.. X. +. Sharp, who was severely
wounded not long since by a gun-shot
from some unknown person. is fast recov-
ering, and we hope to be able soon to an
nounce his recovery.
We notice the agreeable countenance OF
Col. d. II. Holman. OF Fayetteville, upon
our streets. We suppose he is in attend
ancc upon the special term of Chancery in
our town.
Hon A. 5. Colyar of Nashville and Gen.
Marcus j. Wright, of Memphis, are in
town.

New-York tribune., 1872-04-24
OUJCK TRANSIT At LAST.

There il. Mt last, some prospect that Rapid
Transit NAV be secured for New-YOrk. Yester-
day. the Assembly passed the Beach Pneumatic
bill. and the Gilbert Elevated Railway bill.
The first of these has been the favorlte
measure of the Senate. and was passed
by that body some weeks since. Inc
Beach Pneumatic Company was incor-
porated by the Legislature in 1868, ana
authorized to provide for the transmission OF
letters, packages, and merchandise, III New
York and Brooklyn, and across the North ana
East Rivers, by means of pneumatic tubes.
The Company has already a considerable sec
ton excavated under Broadway, and IS ex-
pccted to push forward the work at once.
The line is to run from the Battery to Harlem
River. under Broadway and Madison-avc., with
one or two branches. The work is to be con-
structcd by private capital entirely. The Gilbert
Elevated Railway scheme, which has been IN
dorsed by the Assembly, but not by the Sen
ate. provides for the erection Of an elevated
tubular railway, to be operated by atmos-
pheric power, the route of which shall DE irom
the east side of the City Hall Park, by the
way of Chatham ST., the Bowery, and Third
ave. to the Harlem River, with branches 10
sundry East River ferries. So much, then, Is
gained by one days work in the Assembly.
If the present prospect is realized, we shall
have two or three separate, Independent RAPID
Transit schemes legalizcd, and so secure
healthy competition as well as more travelling
facilities.
We rejoice at the prospect thus afforded.
While we have heartily supported the bill
| allowing Com. Vanderbilt g. Co. to make the
Harlem Road virtually underground from the
| new POst-Off to the Harlem flats, we have
been utterly unwilling that our City should
be shut up and bound over to this sole
means of Quick Transit to the main land
of our own State. Had they enjoyed such
transit for the last ten years, our State
would have retained One Hundred Thou
sand of her people who have been driven
over to jersey by the superior faclli-
ties flor ready communication with our
lower Wards afforded by her Central,
Morris, Northern, and other railroads. Oul
City's most urgent need is Quick Transit to
Westchester County; and we should have
grave objections to any legislation that would
restrict her for this to the efforts OF one
man or company, however able or energetic,
when Others are willing to put money into
rival undertakings. There is need of more
than one outlet northward from our business
quarter; there is need of emulation and
rivalry to secure even one; and so we re-
gard the present aspect Of the case in the
Legislature as unexpectedly auspicious.
New-York tribune., 1872-04-24
bore, been more annoying than "Roformers"
of the Rush G.. Hawkins pattern.

II we could hope for any Improvement to
follow popular action, we might look for some
iudicous changes in the management OF Gus
tom house affairs. very soon. The Chamber
of Commerce has been considering Custom
house abuses for nearly three months, and,
though the John ThOmases say that the instl-
tuition is perfect and needs no ref0rmaton,
the merchants have come to the conclusion
that the commercial interests OF the city, as
we'll as those of the Government, demand i'm
provements in the departments OF General
Orders Appraisements, Warehouses, lnspec-
ton, Entry, and Clearance. new code s
imperatively demanded. This summary Is the
voice of the merchants of New-YOrk; their
needs have been repeatedly presented III
the columns of THE TRIBUNE. 1t is now hoped
that the pressing necessities of the Philadcl-
pbia Convention will not distract Immediate
attention from the pressing wants OF COM
merce.
Although the investigation into the sales OF
arms to the French is practically closed, evi-
dence damaging to the agents IN that transac-
ton is continually coming out. The law Oh
1863 authorizing the sale of damaged arms
has been quoted to cover the TRANSACTIONS Ill
good arms by the Ordnance Department during
1870; but a decision of Judge AdvOcate-Gen-
eral Holt, which has just been brought 1or-
ward. breaks down this flimsy pretext Nobody
but an official anxious to carry out job couid
possibly have construed the law authorizing a
sale of damaged or otherwise unsuitable arms
in sucb n manner as TO permit the sale OF any
arms for which there should happen to be a
| demand. But the Judge Advocate, III 1867,
| decided that arms, ammunition, and other
material belonging to the War Depart
ment must be inspected and condemned
before it could be sold under the
law. No such inspection has ever been heard
| of. but the arsenals were cleaned out OF arms
new and old, when the French agents applied
to Gen. Dyer. Official correspondence shows
that the frontier depots were drained OF
useful arms and new cartridges in order that
this insatiate demand might be met. Tele-
grams were sent to Omaha and Cheyenne
calling in these arms from distant posts, even
against the remOnstrance of the officers who
| had scouting parties on the frontier TO furnish
with rifles and cartridges. Other kilograms
now first published, show that though the
Presidents order suspending sales OF arms
was promulgated Jan. 23, 1870. and resclnded
April 23, new proposals for these sales were
received from Jan. % to March IL OF that
year. These facts have serious bearing Oh

to Geneva, the form in which they were pre-

another matter entirely.
In relation to the present aspect OF the
affair and the proper way in which to meet
it. Mr. Lawrence is entirely clear, though, we
think, scarcely practicable. "For our own

indirect damages was unwisely presented In
"the first instance, we cannot but think

POSSIBLE that the Secretary of State can longer

i, to follow2 Mr.. Lawrence, as well as
most of those who take the English
view of the controversy on this side of the
Atlantic, seems to think it possible that the
two nations may still agree to the payment
~ England of lump sum in full OF all
demands; but nothing is clearer than that
England will do nothing of the sort. Her
leading statesmen of all parties agree that this
would be q confession of Intentional wrong
which they will never make, and that they
will never pay shilling except after the
decision of some competent Tribunal. We
note with pleasure also the fact that Mr..
Lawrence treats with the contempt it de-
serves tho proposition that we shall privately
assure the British Government that our de-
mand is not serious, and that Mr.. Adams
shall be instructed to reject it. Any such
puerile retreat would be worse than the failure
Of the arbitration. Nothing so far written or
uttered by our leading publicsts, nothing done
in Parliament or threatened in Congress, gives
any indication of satisfactory and honora-
bic solution of the difficulties which have
causelessly arisen between the two Govern
ments. The most humilating thought of all
IS that the two countries arc virtually agreed,
and their friendship is imperiled only by the
Supposed interests Of two Cabinets.
