NEW YORK.

I
New YORK, July l9.-A dispatch from
Geneva says that a summary o: the
American argument and statement in
the case of the Confederate cruiser
Florida was presented to the Board Of
Arbitration yesterday. 1t is reported
there that the British agent having
charge Of Queen Victoria's case in the
Alabama pleadings has presented a de-
murrer, praying that the tribunal will
exclude the cases Of the Tallahassee,
Chiekamauga, Sumter, Music, Nashville,
Retribution, Boston, Sallie, JEFF Davis
and V. Il. Joy from the American list
of privateers, and that pending the dis
cussion in the case, each side viii be pre-
scented with verbal process, containing
the essence Of argnmentative portions
of the case and counterrcase. Should
this demurrer OF the British agent be
allowed by the Arbitration Court and
items Of charge for depredations COM
mitted by these notorious privateers be
ruled off from the American bill, it will
diminish the gross total of our account
claims against Great Britain by various
amounts, equal in the whole TO SIS, 5O2,-
743. The total bill Of claims presented
by the American government for com
pensation for direct losses sustained by
the operations Of the Angola, a Confed-
crate cruiser during the rebellion, and
filed at Geneva, amounts to Sl79, 063,346.
The Heralds Washington special says
frequent inquiries are made for the rea-
sons why the President does not accept
the resignation Of Collector Casey of
New Orleans, as the fact is known that
it was called for and made at the in
stance of the President and is still in
his hands. While the President really
intended to appoint a successor to Casey,
he found the Congressional delegation
unwilling to recommend anybody for the
position. Senator Kellogg said he could
not select from one wing Of the Repub-
lican party without incurring the dis
pleasure Of the other. The same excuse
was made by Representatives Sheldon
and Sypher, and the President was ad-
vised that if he assumed the response
bility it would disrupt the party; and
besides, nothing was alleged against the
present incumbent in the State that
made it desirable to have a change,
Casey, therefore, has hold % the Office
until after the Presidential election.
Marquis De NOailles, the new French
Minister at Washington, with bis family.
arrived last evening from Havre, and
proceeded to the Brevoort House, where
he is stopping. His family will remain
in the city until after his formal recep-
ton in Washington.

the furnaces and rolling mills North,
because we have no such indus
tries in our midst, Iron is ruling
firm at high rates. Why2 Becausethere
are not enough furnaces and roll
ing mills by hundreds in the United
States to supply the vast and increasing
demand. Tennessee is blessed with coal
and iron in exhaustless quantity. The
iron could be carried to the coal. the
coal to the iron, or both can easily be
brought here, and the iron manufactured
and sold at as good if not greater profit
than can be realized in any other State,
Here, as in the case Of lumber, we would
save freightage on iron which now has to
be sent North and returned in whatever
shape may be desired. We ought to
manufacture iron and wood. Our indus
trial resources ought to be developed to
their fullest extent so that we can grow
rich on home productions. Let our SEN
ators and Representatives see that our
industries and manufacturing interests
are properly protected and relieved from
oppressive taxation. and we are conf
dent that Northern capitalists who are
already aware of the vast fields which
are opened up in the South, will come
among us and invest largely, because, in
the South, they can manufacture wood,
iron and cotton many per cent. cheaper
than in the North.

BLAcK-MAILIYG.- Candidates and their
friends complain bitterly Of the different
species of black-mail levied upon them
for various purposes. There are some
men who, because of supposed politi-
cal influence. almost live on these poor
candidates, who are forced to be liberal.
There is at least one man who is becoming
notorious Dr. the boldness with which he
levies upon different candidates for the
same Office. The practice of buying
votes with whisky and money has BE-
come too prevalent in Memphis, and
office-seekers are becoming as heartily
tired of it as all respectable citizens
have always been. t

The Haafed Term.

1t is stated that the presents the most
oppressive summer ever known, because
of the increase of heat and the pecu.
liarly tropical character of the season.
In widely distant regions this same trop-
icaI quality of the summer has been
noted. Thus the New Orleans Bee re-
Gently said that in Louisiana for many
days storms have succeeded each other
with hopeless regularity. 1.-THE sky"
it says, is dark, the atmosphere of an
overwhelming heayiness and loaded with
electricity, the air which one breathes is
saturated with moisture. Contrary to
what usually takes place in summer, the
clouds are low, and it has been remar ked
that the greater part of the thunder
bolts drop perpendicularly." The Phil
adelphia papers speak of the continued
rain and wind storms, while the Atlantic
coast is being shocked with slight earth
quakes. In Memphis we have been
treated to nearly whole week of al
most constant raining, with scarcely
an hour of successive sunshine. The
weather for the most part has been ex-
tremely warm, but at least one evening
during that time was cool enough to
sleep under a blanket. The English pa
pers tell precisely the same story with
regard to The summer in the British
isles, and remark that the storms are
equatorial in fury and character. What
the cause of all this is we leave the sci
entists to determine, if they can.
