rinc The City.

The NicolsOn pavement, put down al
such an enormous cost few years ago
has rotted to the bottom, and is full Of
ruts and holes. The streets mostly are
in a miserable condition, as not one is
in good repair. This becomes serious
question, and action in regard there
70 cannot much longer be deferred,
Many plans have been suggested. From
some of them we hope may be devised a
practical and feasible plan. The last
one comes in the shape Of resolution
introduced at the last meeting of the
Common Council by Mr.. Happek, and
referred to the Finance Committee. 1t
is deserving of attention; therefore we
give it in full, emitting the preamble;
Resolved, That the City Attorney be
instructed to draw up a manuscript
wherein the city of Memphis memorial
ize the next State Legislature for a
grant of privilege to issue $l5O,OOO OF
city paving scrip of the denomination of
$40. IS, 81 and 81 paving bills, to be
paid out only for the paving of the streets,
as designated by the General Council,
and as the work progresses, the city to
redeem said issue in three years, and
pledges all of her property for the faith
ful execution of the same, and to enable
her SO to do, she shall levy paving tax
of twenty cents on every hundred dol
lars worth of taxable property, said tax
to be paid with the paving bills only,
EXCEPT sums less than one dollar which
shall be paid in currency, and all the
bills so collected shall, when received by
the Treasurer, be handed by him to the
Mayor who, in the presence of the
Finance Committee, shall cancel and
preserve the same until the whole issue
in ike manner is so collected and can
celed, when the Mayor, in the presence
of the Finance Committee, shall count
and burn the same. This process will
bring said paving scrip to par circula-
ton in our midst, having in reality more
soundness and security of redemption
than any of our floating currency. Thus
the citizens will share the benefit OF
cash contract, aud the difference to
stipulated contract is fully worth twenty
FIVE per cent more. 1t will also save
the interest, which at lowest rates, in
three years, amounts to $4,000, and
besides employ our mechanics and labor
ers, and to our commerce as circu-
lating currency fully worth the same
amount of interest Again, the city's
taxable property being SIS, 900 or
more, it would realize surplus OF
$4,000 to the city during said period.
By these advantages the city will be
benefited $50, 900 or more-an item fully
deserving the attention Of the city gov
eminent.
While we have not examined Mr..
Happek's plan sufficiently to express
full appreciation, it invites the attention
of the public mind.

General Emery's Interview with

Others.

General Emery's Interview with
Lieutenant Governor Penn and
Others.
New York, September IA dis
patch from New Orleans dated midnight
last night, states that General Emery
has Just concluded a twohours inter
view with Governor McEnery, Lieuten-
ant Governor Penn, Robert FL. Mari and
Duncan F. Cage. In the conversation
he informed them that the State admin
istration must be restored to its original
position, the arms taken from the State
arsenal returned and that the status pre-
yious to the revolution must again be re-
sumed. He guaranteed freedom from
arrest to those engaged in the recent out
break, and peace throughout every part
of the State The gentlemen in reply
stated that they would instantly submit
to any such demand from the Federal
Government, impressing IT upon the
General that no show Of force was nee
essary. They insisted that Kellogg nor
his government should hold one inch OF
Louisiana territory one instant. They
acknowledged not only their inability
but total lack of desire to resist the
mandate of the national executive.
THE ABOVE DENIED.
New ORLEANS, September 1.-THE
Associated Press agent called on Gen.
Emery and Governor McEnery this
morning relative to the Herald report
of an interview by them and substan-
tial agreement by McEnery to surrender
to the Federal authorities. Both these
gentlemen say that no such agreement
was made. McEnery, Penn, Ogden,
Mari and other leaders have assured
General Emery that there is no thought
of conflict on their part with the mill
tary of the Federal government.
The city is very quiet. No change in
the situation since yesterday other than
that incident to the process of organic
ing the new State government. Mr..
Dubuelet, the State Treasurer, has not
been interfered with.

DefauIter PRrdOmed-The Aus
trian North Pole Expedition.
New York, September l7.-George
Ellis, ex President of the National Bank
of Commonwealth, was indicted by the
United States Circuit Court on charges
of misapplying fifty thousand dollars
belongi ng to the bank, and for making
or causing to be made false entries on
its books. Ellis was to have been tried
on that indictment at the October term
of the court, but his trial was precluded
BY the pardon of the President.
According to accounts in late London
journals the Austrian North pole expe-
dition was frozen in at the north point
of Nova Zemble in August, 1872, and
was driven in northwesterly direction
with the ice. The crew worked five
months in the rain during the summer
of 1873 to free the ship. In the autumn
of that year north of the eightieth de-
gree of latitude unknown land was dis
covered, the boundary line of which
north and west was not to be seen. A
line was explored in sledges from the
9th of March to the 4th of May, 1874,
up to the eighty-third degree. In honor
of the Emperor of Austria this was
named Franz Joseph Land. There
we're no signs of animal life. On the
10th of May, 1874, the crew left the ship
to get off in four sledges, and after
travelling ninety-six days reached Nova
Zemble, where they met with some Rus
sian seamen and were taken to Wardoc
in Norway, after undergoing indescrib-
able suffsrings and privations.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

CHATTANOOGA, September l6.-Ihe
Renublican State Convention met TINS
morning in an informal caucus, lasting
twohours. The white delegates opposed
making nominations and opposed the
civil rights bill. The colored delegates
insisted on nominating, and wanted to
know how the white delegates stood, say.
ing If they were not in favor OF the civil
rights bill let them leave the party. A
Temporary organization was effected at
noon, with W. II. Wisener as chairman.
LATER.-At the Republican State
Convention to-day Horace Maynard was
declared the nominee for Governor Dy
reclamation. Mr. Maynard accepted
the nomination, and made a speech IN
dorsing the civil rights bill as passed by
the Senate, and announcing that he
would make thorough canvass.
The above, from last nights press
dispatches, shows the position to be oc-
cupied by the Radical party of Tennes-
see in this campaign. The whites, it
seems, weuld gladly have evaded the
issue of the civil rights bill pending be-
fore Congress- but the negroes told them
to stand by it or get out of the party.
They preferred remaining with the ne
xroes, and did SO Oh the conditions laid
down. Horace Maynard was nominated
for Governor, and Endorsed the
civil rights bill as it passed in
the Senate, not that he has
any hopes of election or the success
of his party in this State, but that he
may appear to be a vicarious sacrifice
and command higher recognition at the
hands of the national Republican party.
Doubtless he has thoughts of the Vice
Presidency, or would accept an appoint
ment to a foreign mission after making
this hopeless canvass. This gives the
Democratic party of Tennessee an assu-
rance of victory at the November cleo
tion, and will afford the people Of Shelby
county another opportunity to repeat the
results of the Bartlett movement The
lines are drawn, and there will be no
middle ground wide enough even for the
most ambitious and unscrupulous dema-
gogue to stand upon. There will be but
two parties in this contest-the white
party and the negroized party. All
men can take their choice, and most
of them already stand committed to one
side or the other. We are to have Jas.
ID. Porter against Horace Maynard for
Governor, d. Casey Young against Bar
bour Lewis, and our Legislative ticket
nominated day before yesterday against
whatever nominees can be induced to
run aud be overwhelmed with defeat for
the glory Of the business An effort
will be made by the Radicals, as at the
August election, to induce men W run in
disguise as independents, but this IS too
transparent a device to deceive any
body. There will be two tickets, the
Democrats and Conservatives, and the
other, called by whatever name, will be
led by Horace Maynard, Barbour Lewis
and Ed Shaw, the great lights ofthe civil
rights party. The people who carried the
August elections are all organized yet
and will be on hand at the polls on the
9Th of November to complete the auspi-
cious beginning made toward a thor
ough political reformation.
