Mr.. o. Palmer, Of the Cincinnati I'm
derwriter's agency, came up from New
Orleans, where he has been settling and
adjusting the losses of the Katie, and

more. The Requisite and Richmond will
sweep up some of that remaining when
they come down.
The Kettle Hegler takes 3l7 tons Of
Arkansas river freight, and will make
trip to Little Rock before she goes back
to the Ohio.
The Katie is said to be now much
stronger than she was before she was
docked. She has been reforelocked, re-
bolted with heavier iron and strength
ened in every possible manner. 1t is
also whispered by those who have ex-
amined her that she will make the great
r. E. Lee follow in her wake if they
ever start from given point together.
The Belle Lee has on board 26S9 bales
Of cotton and 1900 sacks Of seed, but
did not get away last night owing to the
rapid decline of the river, which left her
slightly on the bank and triAe listed.
By sparring, however, and with the
assistance of the tug she got away short
" before noon.
The Thompson Dean arrived at Port

the Ohio this trip.

A SAN FRANCISCO DODGE.

l. seems that there has been revival 10
California Of the old Know Nothing party.
Like all people who want to Go wrong,
they took new Dsme-that OF the Sores
cents" Good men were nominated on
of the ti-kets, but paper was sent to
voters all over the city of San Francisco
headed 81. N. U. S. (shies) o. A. o., and
stating that those whose names appeared on
the paper were Catholics and must be
beaten. The result was, that all Catholics,
save one school director and the district at
torCey, were defeated; not that hey were
not well qualified and unexceptionsbe men,
but simply because of their religion. Such
is tie result of following new political gods.
Whenever principle is set a.ids and expedi-
eIcy (under whatever name it may be
known) is substituted in its stead, the re-
suit is disastrous. The Democratic party is
one of principle-it seeks the protection of
ell, both native aud foreign, and knows no
man by his religion. 1t has been the only
bulwark sgsinst ageressions on the peoples
rights in times past, and its future success
is tie only promise Of q return to Just ad-
ministratlon Of tie government, and The
protect On Of the CT izen in his civil and re-
hgious rights.-Memphis Register.
From other ources we learn that this os-
tracism on account of religion extended to
Protestsnts with Catholic yes.

THE MEMPHIS INIUNoTTow.

The Memphis AUalanche states that the
injunction issued by Judge Fllppln against
Mayor johnson and all other persoDs, re-
straining them from erecting or keepipp a
pest house Ia the city CT Memphis, comes
toolate for practical results. The writ, to
be effective, should have been Obtained be-
fore the thing was done. 1t is dreadful to
have hospital of yellow fever patients in
any neighboFhood, but the inmates of the
one epjoined are mostly residents of thas
ward. Tho writ cannot be- enforced with
out turning the sick and dying into the
street. This Is not likely to be done, and
the case Of contempt arising could not be
tried, as all the Judges have refugoed and
there is not one left to hear it. We gather
that Judge Elippin himself has gone to
Brownsville.

INTEREsTING REHISrsCENnEs.

II is reported that The slate George N.
Sanders left a number Of manuscripts and
memoranda Of persons and things with
whom and which he had come in contact,
and that The papers will be arranged and
published in due season. Hardly any man
OF bis time has had more intimate knowl-
edge of the political events of the last thirty
or forty years, and bis revelations of Wash
ington life, If faithfully made, would GER
tainly prove sensational. It used to be
said before the war, that Sanders had a
larger variety and number ofodd experien-
ces than any other resident of the National
Capital. He often threatened, it is said, to
write book for The edi6cation of future
generations; and the report that be has left
material for such publ is not at all
improbable, he was on most intimate
terms with Webster, Jackson, Clay, Cal
houn, Benton, Cass, Van Buren, and o.,
the prominent statesmen and politicians
North and South.

HARD TIMES.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of last Saturday
says:
Relief must come before tho close of an
other week or work cease in most of the
larger shops. Such is the opinion of the
majority of our leading manufacturers.
That the banks viii afford the necessary aid
is the belief as well as the hope of most
fnauciers aud merchants. That they do
not mean to do so is the fear Of those who
have large numbers Of men to pay weekly
Rnd who are already seriously embarrassed.
Some, indeed, have thrown up the sponge
and begun the gloomy work OF disch2rgiHg
their mechanics; others will follow suit
tonight, and the vast majority, even of
those who have reduced the hours of work
or adopted the system of paying their en-
loyes half Their weekly wages and crediting
them with the otEer halt, do not hope to
weather it out longer than Saturday next.
We meet, on the other hand, occasional
items like the following f,om the Indiansp-
oils Journal, of the Sd, which show how
this world is given TO - suspicion:
For example, information reaches rs on
what seems TO be reliable authority, that a
certain bank in Cincinnati, holding a heavy
currency balance for one of our banks, re-
fused few days since to pay any 1t there
OF on demand, and yet the principa' owner
of the institution Immediately afterward
transferred large sum in currency to
Chicago, and invested in barley on private
speculatiOO.

A GOOD BUsTSFss BAROMETER

The New York Bulletin notes the fol-
lowing as the first and best indication of re-
turning confidence:
The dry goods trade has long been re-
g2rded, and properly SO, as afTording an ex-
cellent barometer of the CEREAL business of
the country. By reference 70 our usual
daily reports of the trade, il will be found
that the prospects for the future are most
cheering. The trade has sustained itself
under the general pressure with more STA
biiity than could hsve been expected,
There have been occasional reyerses, but
they have been eGceptionsble, and business
has not yet fully recovered from the effects
Of last weeks depression. But BUYERS
begin to come forward quite freely. Coun-
try merchants, who had been at racted 10
our city to make purchases forthe fall trade,
and who held alOof from the market IL con-
sequence of the panic, now come forward
and buy, cautiously it is true, but still with
a liberalitY that could scarcely have been
hoped for few days ago. Better still,
orders TO manufacturers agents, on account
of jobbers in the interior, v hich were coun-
fernandez last week, have now been re-
neWed, and in some cases with additions to
the original orders. As the goods have to
be expressly manufactured for delivery
some weeks hence, these transactions i'm
ply confidence in the future of business
in TIE interior which is most hopeful and
satisfactory.
This is good news. As a rule the dry
goods trade is the first to feel the effects Of
a fusTcial disaster AID the last to recover
from it. Fashion and wealth can always
Jnirve to satisfy the requirements of $50
ciety" and of the seasons; bat the bulk of
consumers, on whom The trade chiefly de-
ponds, are forced to economist.

monetary situation: Two things are high
ly important in the present state of affairs.
One is for Planters and country merchants
TO spare no effort to send f)raard all the
cotton they can, and the other for mer-
chants in The city to pay local and current
bills as far as practicable. Don't turn away
collectors with himsy excuses. One debt
paid secures the payment Of many, and win
