Organic alton of the Memphis Branch of
the Mississippi Valley Society Of
London.
Kindly, Social and business Relations
TO be Established between Hem-
phIs aud London.

In order to establish first, relations of
personal confidence, and then inaugu-
rate direct European and southern trade,
societies have been organized in each of
the greater cities of this valley, having
officers appointed when organizations
are originally effected by the parent So
ciety in London. These good English
statesmen, manufacturers and bankers
would send out redundant populations,
they would have accurate information
as to the needs and resources Of this
valley, they would even establish here,
if profitable, cotton mills. Above all,
they would buy lands and plant homo
geneous colonies from which Chinese,
negroes and Arabs are excluded.
Therefore these European capitalists
shape each organization OF each
branch society in this country. They
would have trade and business relations
with trustworthy men. Moreover, it
happens, since the ocean has been prac-
tically bridged, that most men of wealth
and intelligence visit Europe. As mem
bers of this society, approved and known
as such among the foremost business
men and capitalists of London, these
American gentlemen will visit the old
world preannounced and known there,
to be most respectable and trustworthy
here. That the Londoners have chosen
proper men, to give them facts and serve
them well, is seen in the following list
of local directors appointed by the Lon
don society:
DIRECTORS.
Jacob Thompson, w. B. Galbreath, II .
NJ. Neeley, J. T. Fargason, J. r. God
win, A. a. Patton, J. 4. Petit, ]. NJ. Pet
tigrew, ]. S. Read, Enoeh Ensley, A. L.
Haynes, Napoleon Hill.
OF these directors, Bronson Bayless
was chosen president; l.. J. DuPre see
retary, and w. w. Guy, A. Vacarro and
Major Ross, of the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad, presidents. Mr.. Bay
less proposed to have a branch estab-
lished at Little Rock, and Mr.. J. B. Oil
yer was instructed to effect this purpose,
he being commended by this Memphis
branch society to that of London as q
proper agent. Other members of the
local association, than those above
named, are, w. o. Flynn, Louis Rangin, ,
A. A. Patton, ]. r. Miles, Henry g.
Dent, VIM. J. Smith, w. w. Guy, r. g.

PULASKI.
The Currency Question in Tennessee
Contraction or Expansion.
From an oeesslonal correspondent.l

From an Occasional Cores spondentl
PULASKI, April l2-Ihave endesvored
to ascertain what is the public sentiment
in reference TO the currency question,
and ] find but little difference Of opinion
among the people. have scarcely seen
any one that is in favor OF a contraction
OF the currency. All think there is not
enough money in circulation. There is
no complaint that the money is not good
enough, but tllst there is not enough Of
itIn the hands Of the people. A con-
fraction OF the currency, they say, would
be ruinous 70 all people who are at all In
debt, and the scarcity of money which
would be the result Of contraction would
decrease the value OF property, and
would thus be ruinous to the great
body Of the people. A contraction
Of the currency would benefit the
holders Of money, by increasing
its purchasing capacity, but ii would,
10 the same extent, cause a shrinkage In
the vslue Of the property Of the county.
The niOaeged men of the country desire
a decrease Of the currency, but the pro-
dlIcing classes have no such desire, be-
csnse they believe il would PROSTATE the
business Of the country. The members

represent, as We believe it will,
large and respectable portion ofthe
Democrats of this Congressional
District, and should they solicit
the Hon. G. j. Faulkner to with
draw his name as a candidate for
Congressional in our judgement
he would greatly promote the har-
mony of the Democratic party in
this District by SO doing, and that
under the peculiar circumstances,it
would be duty he owes the DEM
ocratic party not to distract the
same by insisting on continuing a
candidate for Congress.
9th That If the said Convention
should determine to nominate a
Democratic candidate for this Con-
gressional district, that the said
delegates be authorized to cast the
vote of this county in said Conven-
ton.
10th. That any Democrat ofJef-
ferson coun Y opposed to the cleo
ton of @ J. Faulkner who may
choose to attend said Convention
be authorized to act therein as a
delegate of this county.

THE COUNTY COURT

The following petition was cir
culated in different portions of the
county of Jefferson on last Friday,
and was signed by considerable
number CT our citizens:
To the WorshipfW County Court Of
Jefferson County:
The undersigned citizens of JEFF
ferson county respectfully petition
your Honorable Court that the
question of a change in the present
County Court system for this coun-
ty, and one that will contemplate
a union of Berkeley and Jefferson
cour les in a judicial organization
of the said court, 1.-THE said counties
to share the expense of the organ
ization equally may be submitted
to the action of the voters Of this
county at the coming general cleo
ton on the 18th day of October,
1874.
1t was intended that this petit
ton should be presented to the
County Court on last Saturday, but
it adjourned unexpectedly on Fri
day, and no action was taken by
that body on the subject of taking
the sense of the people on the pro-
posed subject. The petitioners pro
pose TO take the sense IF the peo-
pie at the election next Tuesday
by having printed or written on
each ticket voted for the present
plan of the County Court" or
against the present plan of the
county court land. they then propose
to ask the County Court at its next
session to carry out the wishes of
the people as thus ascertained. AS
the proposed plan contemplates a
union of Jefferson and Berkeley
counties in judicial organization,
it is suggested that the voters of
Berkeley county, in like manner,
express their wishes at the coming
election.--.Spirit OF Jefferson.
We are in favor ofthe supervisors
or commissioner system, but for
immediate use willingly favor the
above with this addition. viz: In
clude Morgan county in the ar
rangement.

HARpER's FERRY. Oct. 5.'7i

HARPER's FERRY, Oct. 5,'7i.
Eds. Independent:
GA Democrat" writing from this
place to the Independent, asks GER
tain questions of the friends of Mr..
Faulkner, and as he awaits an
answer" he shall have it.
The people of Harper's Ferry
know very well that, if, during
Mr.. Boteler's term in Congress.
there was a good appropriation for
the manufacture ofarms, it was on
account of the influence which AL
fred M. Barborer, the Superintend
ent at that time, had with Secre-
tary Floyd, as also of certain ex-
periments which were being made
by Armstead M. Ball, the Master
ArmOrer, and that it was in no
way to be attributable to Mr.. Bote-
ler's energy. If the case were as
"A Democrat would have us be-
lieve, how was it that Mr.. Boteler
obtained SO much influence with a
hostile administration, and why
cannot Mr.. Faulkner have equal
success with a Republican Con-
gress? 1t is true that Messrs.
Faulkner and Boieler stand on
equal terms politically with the
present administration, but it is
equally certain that Mr. Faulk-
ner's Influence would be vastly
greater than that of his opponen .
We have no i'll feeling to Mr..
Boteler; on the contrary. we re-
gard him az being very estima-
be gentleman, but when it comes
TO a choice between him and Mr..
Faulkner in a contest on which
may depend our very existence as
community, we are candid
enough to tell him he must stand
aside.
The truth is this mo matter how
much the jealousy of POLITICAL
aspirants may try to conceal i'll
Mr.. Faulkner is by long odds the
ablest man in the State, and he is
sure to be listened to with respect
in any assembly of sensible men,
however he may differ from his
audience in political dogmas, for
it is well known that when HE
stands up to speak something qoiU
be said. He is moreover, a man of
untiring industry, and in word,
the very man aCe want. We were
very glad whom Mr.. BoteIer was
appointed to represent us at the
great Centennial Celebration, for
there he will be in his element
with fine chance to exhibit the
many graces of manner and flow
ers of oratory, which all admit he
has at command, but when we
want a man who can combine, at
least, enough of those accomplish
ments with solid business ability
and unfailing industry, give us
Mr.. Faulkner-and we aUiU have
him, if a majority of twelve hun
dred in Jefferson county will ac-
complish it.

AS an evidence OF the total unre
liability of party organs" one
has only TO compare two of them,
each of opposite politics, printed in
the same county or district. Their
columns contain the most fulsome
and sickening laudation of their
respective candidates, and each
claims, with equal vehemence,
that their favorite is sweeping
everything before him, and is the
only man living who is fit for
the place he seeks. Now it is quite
evident that one or the other, to
say the least, is lying for the pur-
pose of deceiving the people. And
when this fact is made patent by
the result of the election. the cham
pion of the defeated candidate at
tempts TO salve over the wounded
spirits of his deluded readers by
charging fraud on his opponents,
or making excuses for the
"vote fai ing to come out,o and
all such miserable SUBJ erfuges.
We appeal to the common sense of
every man. and ask if this is not
the case, These partizan "organ"
grinders presume ur on the igno
rance of the people, and expect to
lead them by partizan and one
sided appeals to their prejudices
and passions. They are afraid to
give them light on both sides and
let them judge and dicides
from the facts before them. Every
thing not favorable to their can
didate is carefully excluded from
their columns, and only the most
laudatory stuff permitted to APP
pear. They thus assume that the
people are incapable ofjudgingand
deciding for themselves. These
organ-griDders are paid instru-
ments, and must set their music to
suitthe wishers or their masters thi
being the case, how can the people
expect them to give the truth, il
the truth is likely to hurt their
candidates or party? We should
think the people had found out by
this time, that no reliance can be
placed in the statements of an "or,
oann which is compelled to sink
it independence and manhood Gil
it ever had either in defence o
party.

A CAR IBID.
Mr.. Walker Declines,

Eds Of the independents
The private and public soiicita-
tons upon the part of my many
friends of Old Berkeley, to become
a candidate for the Legislature, de-
mands of me, in the midst of the
campaign, to positively accept or
decline. The same reason tmy
healthy which made nee reluctant
to be candidate months ago, and
in the early part of the campaign
still steadily induces me to decline,
and more SO at the present time, as
there are IL sufficient number ofin-
dependent candidates in the field
TO fill the office. | think it would
be bad faith upon my part, having
been identified with the indepen-
dent movement and party, and
never with any other, to do any
thing that would embarrass or de-
feat that party. My friends will
observe at once that it was no lack
of confidence in their ability TO
elect which has induced me stead
lily to decline, for when we refer
back to the origin of the indepen-
dent movement, We see at once
that it has been attended with
most extraordinary success. If /
remember correctly, two years ago
we obliterated a majority of $50
and came up with a majority of
1853 over strong opposition, having
all the graatwar dogs of the" sold
War Horse" to battle against and
brake down. Again, one year
ago we came up against the
same opposition with pleas
ant majority OF between 600and 700
over very respectable opposition.
So we feel very highly fiattered
being plain retired citizen) with
our work and that of our friend s..
So much SO that we do not think
that it can be beaten in future by
our opponents, as ithas never been
done in the past. / therefore take
this opportunity to thank my
faiends of Old Berkeley in the
highest manner for their good, no.
BILE and honest support, as L have
just reason to believe our princi-
plies were honest and for the good
of the masses.
Now / would say to my friends,
stand by the masses land the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber." Again / would say
not having accepted in the
early part of the campaign an &C !
count Of my peculiar health / cam
not accept so near the close, to the
injury of many of my fast friends.
Let us roam in green pastures.

meanest swindler last week, who
has developed out Of the present
demoralized condition of society
In New York. A sharper from the
great metropolis took eooms at
the Fountain Hotel the 25th ulti-
mo, and decamped on the 1st in
sta Mt with some eightor nine hun
dred dollars worth ofplunder, sto
len from poor women and girls,
under the pretext of giving them
work. He put an advertisement
in the "Want' column Of one Of
the papers for fifteen hands to
work on bead trimmings only
good girls who could leave a small
deposit for the materials and work
taken home need apply This
brought over two hundred needy
applicants, many Of whom for want
Of money, left their jewelry in
pledge. In all cases he gave them
a small quantity Of lace to make
up, and took treble its value. -
They were directed to bring their
work in on Saturday last, but on
Thursday night the party who had
given the name Hahn, left the city,
forgetting to pay his colored door
keeper and his hotel bill When the
poor girls, who had solaced them
selves with the idea that they were
earning something for their sup
port, came with their work on Sat-
urday, they were made acquainted
with the heartless outrage and
swindle that had been perpetrated
upon them.
