RAILWAY FORTUNES OF MEMPHIS.
The Little Rock Gazette of We'd
nesday avs: awe have seen a dis
patch from Josiah Caldwell, of
Boston, to Charles G.. Scott, Esq,
president Of the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad, stating that the con-
solidation Of the Memphis and
Charleston, Memphis and Little
Rock and Little Rock and
Fort Smith railroads, and their
lease TO Mr.. Tom Scott, is about per
fected. Under this, Mr.. Caldwell
states that g new way is provided for
the payment of the debts owing by
the Fort Smith road In Arkansas.
Mr.. Caldwell states thst he will leave
for Arkansas about the Goth, bat be
fore leaving will deposit the money
required for the payment OF
the debts. He says this con-
solidation puts the success Of
the Fort Smith road beyond ques-
ton. Under Mr.. Scott, the Memphis
and Charleston is to be put in first
class order, the Memphis and Little
Rock in good condition by that com
pany, and the Little Rock and Fort
Smith completed by the Fort Smith
company, and the three, under Mr..
Tom Scott, viii then build the road
from Fort Smith to Fort Gibson, con-
Meeting with the Atlantic and Pacific,
thereby making the most direct line
TO the Pacific from New York. When
this is done, It will be one Of the
grsndest eras in the history Of Arkan-
sss-thereby securing all the winter
travel, at least, TO snd from the Pa
eihc, by wsy ofLittIe Rock"
The APPEAL announced the proba-
bility of the consolidation of the Mem
phis and Little Rock, and Little Rock
snd Fort Smith roads several weeks
ago. The scheme was discussed by
ex- Senator Mcdonald and Others re-
presenting the Memphis and Little
Rock company, and Mr.. Josiah Cald-
well, the principal owner of the Lit
tie Rock and Fort Smith road, at the
Peabody hotel, where the ~consOlida-
ton was agreed upon, conditioned
upon the sale Of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad to the Southern
Railway Security company. At the
date Of this dispatch referred to by
the GGsstts the Memphis and Charles
ton stockholders convention had not
acted, and 1t is not yet known
that the Security company viii accept
the terms defined by tets convention.
The trivial conditions sufixed to the
propositions Of Tom Scott are enough
to defeat the trade, and il Mr.. Scott
and his associates seek to make money
out Of this local transaction, and were
not interested in these combinations
west Of the Mississippi, it would be
wise for them to reject the con-
tract as modified, destroy the liar
ket value OF Memphis and Charles
ton stock and buy it on their
own terms. In fact, we publish a
special dispatch from Montgomery,
Alabama, in another place, which
shows that Tom Scott may have inf
better chances Of securing on
terms the mastery Of Stanton's
Chattanooga, Meridian and Vieksburg
read. The purchase Of this line by
the Southern Security railway COM
pany would make Memphis and
Charleston stock almost vslueless, and
then Mr.. Scott, at his leisure, NAV
buy the road. Thea facts may have
been anticipated by many members
Of the late convention.

A Washington correspondent says
the denomination Of Grant is not so
certain as his relations are anxious TO
make believe. The refusal Of the

enormous fra ids of the Grant officials
which are being brought to light it is
now conceded by the ablest of the Re.
publican managers will havea marked
effect upon the country. The end OF
these damaging disclosures has not
been reached. It's stated that a new
instance Of the Grant officials plun-
dering the treasury will shortly be
brought to light. The amount In
volved is upward of four millions.

CHICAGO DRY GOODS MARKET.

Tuesday EVENING, Dec. IT,
The week just closed may be said to have been
satisfactory in @ business point Of view. No
very large orders have been placed, but very
considerable aggregate distribution of goods
wes made, and jobbers report the volume OF
business fully up. to their expectations. The
market for cotton goods remains unchanged,
fully retaining all tho elements Of strength that
have characterized it for q month past. Firm
ness also prevails in the woollen goods market,
though there is less OF activity than WAS notice.
able fortnight ago, and there is not much like
ihood OF q revival OF trade in this department
until the opening Of the spring styles. The car
pet trade continues dull, with little or no varia-
tion in prices. The enhanced cost of produc-
tion, consequent in the advance Of raw mate-
rails, imparts strength to the market, and not
!sithstandlnS the absence Of anything like activ-
ity in the demand, prices keep we'll up end may
be quoted firm. Among changes in values Of
goods named in tho subjoined list We note an
advance of 70 in Hoosior and Stark L brown
cottons; 1c in Pride Of the West bleeched cot
ton, and &c in Mlnnehaha ticks. Following are
