FRIDAY, Oct. 4-6 p. M.
The markets ruled duh and heavy as general
thing, the scarcity OF money being everywhere
cited as the chief impedlment to the prosecution
of business. Even when sales are effected CON-
paratively little money changes hands, and COM
plants are uttered on all sides regarding the
scarcity OF the circulating medium. On 'Cnange
business was dull. Flour was little steadier, but
quiet. Wheat was dull and lower, though quite
business was done for November delivery at con-
siderably ABOVE current quotations. Corn was
quiet, and at the close o little weak. Oats
were the turn nrmer, but not quotably higher.
Whiskey was the turn easier. Pork remained dull
and nominal while lard was dull and easier.
Freights firm. Petroleum duh. Naval stores were
the turn dearer. Groceries were generally quiet,

NEW CODE NEEDED.

A Joint resolution has been introduced
in the House by Mr.. Snyder, Of Hamil
ton, to provide for new Code of the
State laws. Such work is needed, and
the want is severely felt by members Of
the Legislature themselves, no doubt,
when they encounter such difficulty IN
finding out exactly what the laws are
before offering new bills. The want is
experienced also in all our courts from
the magistrates up, and in every clerk
Office and by every State official. 1t is
impossible almost to obtain complete
set Of the acts of the Legislature since
the adoption of the present Code In
1859, and when found they constitute
quite library, which cannot be exam
ined in an hour, or even day, on any
particular subject. The ability Of the
State, to engage in such publishing
business just now is another question
entirely, but after once published great
many copies Of the new Code would be
bought by lawyers and others, and thus
the outlay would be greatly reduced.

MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RAIL
ROAD

Several changes have been made re-
Gently in the management Of the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, among
others the following Captain W. j.
Ross has been made General Superin-
tendent; Captain G. L. Anderson has
resigned, and Mr.. Z. r. Rather sue
ceeded him as Auditor; c. s. Williams,
Assistant Superintendent East Division,
has resigned, and H. P. Ryan succeeded
him, under title of Train Dispatcher,
with headquarters at Huntsville, Ala,
and R. B. benson has been appointed
Train Dispatcher Of the West Division,
with office at Memphis. The gentlemen
promoted are frst.cla railroad men,
and eminently qualified for their re-
spectiye positions, while those retiring
are in every way worthy of confidence
and respect, and will doubtless succeed
at whatever business they may engage.
The narrow-gauge to Ripley, Miss, was
leased not long since by the Southern
Security Company, and is to be put in
first running order at once, and fur
nished with passenger coaches of the
latest and best pattern.

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-Le Roi Car
otte was again presented at the Opera
House last evening. The pantomime is
amusing, absurd but picturesque. The
Martinetti- Ravel troupe and the Van
Hamme bouquet ballet give pleasing
performance, the ballet especially being
quite an attraction. The pantomime
contains three acts and eighteen tab
leaux, and is founded on the original
French version of Victor Sardou and
jacques Ofenbach. Tonight LIE Roi
Carotte viii be repeated and again at
the matinee tomorrow.
MEMPHIS ThEATER.-The Woman in
White was repeated last evening. AS a
dramatic composition it is not the best
we have seen, yet still it gives fair scope
to the performers to display talent and
versatility. Tonight Miss Katie May
hew takes benefit, and this fact will
insure crowded and fashionable house.
Miss Mayhem is a popular performer of
soubrette parts. She follows closely in
the wake Of Lolita, and bids fair to sue
coed to the place left vacant on the
American stage by the attractive little
Californian. There is void in this
part Of the dramatic business, and
the favorite who has the talent
to be able to succeed Lolita on
the stage will make a fortune. As a
general actress Miss Mayhem is quite as
good as Lolita, and we opine she can
play the Marehioness," Little Nell F"
and other well known roles to perfec-
ton. In the song and dance MisG May
hew is decidedly superior to Lolita, and
needs but an opportunity to win popular
favor in leading roles. The play to-
night, Blade O. Grass, has been prepared
with view to Miss Mayhews benefit
She viii appear in a round Of charac-
tiers, Blade O Grass" Miss Lucy"
Klans Klois," aud Lucy Brightly"
which gives her ample scope to display
that versatility Of talent with which she
is gifted.
OLYMPIC THEATER.-The only variety
show 10 the city is that controlled by
Manager Buchanan on Washington
street. Tonight the great attraction,
Mile Aline LaFsvre. will introduce her
celebrated Can-Csn troupe. The Car
Can will be presented in q manner
unknown outside Of Paris. LaFavFe
dances the Can-CAn With q grace and
abandon well calculated TO create aston
ishment aud pleasure. Among the new
stars may Be mentioned Miss Ophelia
Starr. dsnseuse; Miss Allie Love, vocal

and ME Alice Gilbert serial queen.

THE RRPuRL1c OF SPAIN.

Numerous claimants TO the Spanish
throne have sprung up already, and the
affairs of that country are by no means
tranquil. The army is divided the cav
airy being in favor of monarchy with
Prince Asturias, son Of Isabella, MS king
and the infantry favoring a republic
Don Carlos is another aspirant, ready to
push his claims; and the Duke De Mont
pensier appears as a formidable oppo-
nent of the republic; and il remains to
be seen how long the hastily-made repub-
lie will exist. 1t has enemies within and
without, and unless the rew President,
Senior e. Martos, who was elected Presi'
dent of the Assembly yesterday in place
of Senior Fgueras, proves to be strong
man, as was Minister Prim, it will soon
20 to pieces. Republicanism is spread
ing in Europe. France took the lead
and now Spain follows, and the tele-
praph brings intelligence that appre-
tensions Of Republican movement are
felt in Portugal. 1t is doubtful whether
the people are prepared for such sudden
revolutions without bloodshed; they
have very vague ideas of liberty, as we
understand it. Republicanism in the
old world oftener signifies restless de-
sire for change of masters than an in
telligeht comprehension of the equality
and rights of mankind. But France
holds out longer than was expected, and
may eventually become a Republic in
the true sense, and thus set an example
that will be both contagious and perma-
nant

A KEW bill to redistrict the State was
introduced in the Hsuse yesterday by
Mr.. Hughes. 1t proposes to make the
Tenth Congressional District Of the
counties of Shelby, Upton and Lauder
dale, which is large enough, for the dis
trict would grow more in the next eight
years than any other in the State. This is
the second bill on the subject before the
Legislature, and opens the question fully
for discussion. As far as ascertained
the members Of the Legislature are
averse to any gerrymandering in the in
terests of particular parties or sets OF
ofiice-seekers, and there is every reason
to look and hope for fair and equitable
spirit in the construction Of the districts.

PoMERoY RISKS 10 EXPLAIN.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tri
bune speaks Of Pomeroy's first appear
ance in the Senate as follows;
Shortly after the Senate was called "a
order, the well-known face OF Pomeroy
was seen peeping over the screen which
stands in front OF the main entrance OF
the chamber. AT that early hour there
were but few Senators present. Taking
some confidence from this fact, Pomeroy
advanced from behind the screen into
the main aisle, in broad view OF the
whole Senate. The first Senators TO OBJ
serve him were Logan aud Carpenter.
He eagerly stretched out his hand, and
one alter another, they shook II in the
most Indifferent manner. Appearing to
feel this slight, he then walked down to
his seat in the FIRST row, in n manner
both hurried aud nervous. Arriving
there, be hastily seated himself, aud
commenced fumbling IN his coat peck
cts, acting as il he was conscious OF the
fact that the eyes Of all those present
sought him out, and we're examining his
every look aud motion with critical IN
terest.
For fifteen minutes he sat in his seat
with his eyes cast down, meanwhile ner-
yously stamping the floor with his feet
Then. when the prayer OF the chaplain
had been finished, the reading Of the
minutes gone through, aud amid n ST.
lence wherein the rustling OF paper or
the falling Of pin caused q nervous
shock. he arose and with some hesitancy
addressed the chair. He asked the priv
iege Of making his explanation OF an
unfortunate affair, wherein he was most
deeply interested. He asked, with
penitential air, and in marked contrast
10 the somewhat defiant way in which
he has been in the habit Of conducting
himself in this body. he then went on
10 deny in the most positive manner that
he attempted bribery in the late election |
at Topeka, alleging that he was the
victim OF the foulest conspiracy that
had ever been attempted upon an
honorable man. As he warmed
up with his argument, the heat
OF his indignation quite equaled, 1t not
excelled, that manifested by Senator
Patterson some weeks since, before the
Credit Mobiler Committee, wherein the
latter protested against heightened and
honorable men Deing dragged before the
public in the capacity Of apologists. de
finished with the request that a special
committee to investigate these charges
be appointed, to consist Of his political
opponents. -,
1t cannot be said truthfully that his
defense created either capital or symps-
thy for him. When he got through he
was congratulated by Harlan and Pat
terson, but otherwise the Senate re-
NAMED stolidly Indifferent both to him
self and his defense. Vice President
CoIfax subsequently appointed Senators
Frelinghuysen, Buckingham, Alcorn,
Thurman and Vickers as the investigat-
ing committee. The time remaining
before the expiration Of the session is so
short. that it is not anticipated that the
will have time to enter upon,
let alone complete, this inquiry.

UNION FESTIVAL.
Deco HAN the Center OF Attraction

Rocco Hall the Center of Attraction
One Of the incest conducted festivals
we have ever witnessed in this city is
now in full blast at Rocco Hall, corner
of Second and Madison streets. Besides
this agreeable feature, it is for one of
the best of purposes-that Of raising
means for public library, to be known
as the Library Of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The hall is most
beautifully decorated. The Eve princi-
pal tables, with their accompanying
side-tables, are most elegantly trimmed
and Thoroughly loaded with the good
things Of earth, which are served by the
fairest hands of all denominations.
Lunch can be had each day during the
week at any hour after nine o clock in
the morning, as reasonable as the same
fare can be had anywhere else in the
city. The hall will be kept open until
midnight each evening. Oysters, ice
cream, lemonade, cigars, ETC., are kept
in abundance at very reasonable prices.
Music, fishing ponds, postofice, art gal
lery and other innocent amusements are
to be seen and enjoyed. Admission,
twenty-five cents. The street cars for
all the different lines leave the corner OF
Madison and Main each Right during

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, February l4-The
Times Of this morning says: THE
meeting Of the two General Assemblies
last evening developed a much better
fesling than has been before exhibited,
and she chances now are that ere many
days very fair, and, under the circun-
stances, creditable understanding, will
be arrived at. Almost the entire fusion
delegation were present, and the
most influential members from the
other side. We hear that a writ
ten memorandum was presented
by the Republicans to the effect that the
House, as constituted under the above
programme, would be composed Of sixty
one members. Thirty-two Of them are
at present in their seats and the remain
der are absent. These thirty-two pro-
posed to enter into the above coalition
under the express agreement that both
parties would advocate the Reform mea-
sures.
"In all contested election cases they
promise to settle them on the basis that
in the parishes VIGOROUSLY Republican,
Republican representatives. were elected;
admitting the election of Democrats in
the parishes where it is known they have
a majority. The only exception to this
rule is to be where the personal popular
ity of the candidate might overcome
party power"
