LET Us HAVE FAIR PLAY.
The Wholesale Merchants OF Nashville
on the Projected Warehouse
and Compress Company.
1t Can Work Only IrreparabIe Dam
age to Our Commercial Interests.

The following memorial, signed nv the
leading wholesale houses of the city will
be laid before the Board of Directors of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail
road at their meeting Tomorrow:
To the President and Directors of tho
Nashville and Chattanooga and ST. Toui g
Railroad Company: On behalf of the cotton
merchants Of our city, we desire to saw thai
they are firmly persuaded that the bnildiuo
of the proposed warehouse and compress by
the parties heretofore contemplated, aided
BY the monopoly feature and sustained nv
the influence OF two wealthy and powerful
corporations, will enable those WIZ are NOT
identified with and have not contributed
anything towards building up the cotton
trade, to reap and absorb the fruits of the
years OF labor OF those through whose en-
ergy, enterprise and intelligent efforts this
large and valuable trade has been secured
to us.
A trade Of such vast Importance. and
which benefits so largely every business in
tereSt OF our community, is undoubtedly
entitled to great consideration, every posi-
bic encouragement and just protection.
The result Of monopoly granted and
secured TO a few, would be to build up
their success upon the run Of those whose
efforts have, and, if encouraged. will con-
Time to add largely to the prosperity Of us
all, but 1t hampered and placed at 50 seri-
GUS disadvantage by extra privileges Sc
cured 10 others, such disorganization will
ensue as will largely reduce the receipts of
cotton, thereby proving a serious loss 10 the
trade generally.
The necessity for or the benefits to be de-
rived from the contemplated improvements,
we think, can best be decided by you and
them, but We respectfully suggest that the
success of the enterprise and tie interest
Of all concerned therein will be
greatly promoted if organized and
managed by thOSe who have a
vital interest in it, and whose long expe-
rience in the trade has given them a
thorough knowledge Of low best to meet is
wants.
We therefore earnestly urge that it is
but Just and equitable that you secure to
them privileges in all respects equal to
those that were contemplated in cOnnec-
tim With m hare

The Ropaahes OF a Restaurant.

a, Chicago correspondent OF the Troy T'me'
says: IS A.-.1 q 81 rlHaa
"a bit of romance recently came TO my nos
tice which has not before appeared in print.
Some time in December last, girl about sew
enteen years of age who at that time was ssrv-
ing as table waiter, in large dining restaurant,
was arrested for stealing package oil money
from the pocket OF gentlemans overooat whit
was hanging in the room while he was eating
his dinner. At the preliminary examination a
party swore TO having seen her take the coat
down and hang 1t up quickly again; that she
soon lett the room for short tlme and as the
money was not to be found she was held for
trial. In vain she protested that she merely
moved the coat to avoid Its getting soiled, In
vain with fearful eyes she offered to be search
ed. The circumstances were suspicious and the
officers memorable.
In the meantime the gentleman who had lost
the money became interested in her history,
found she was an orphan girl, aud though COM
paratiyey friendless bearing an excellent char
acter. Further than this he ascertalned she was
of English parentage, that her name was the
same his own, and, to make the story short,
from evidence which he could not disbelieve,
that she was the daughter Of his own brother,
whom lie supposed to have died childless in
Australia several years ago. Or course ne De
clined prosecuting her, and, as he Is wealthy
and without near kin, lie at once arranged to
take her home with him, on his return irem
the West, whittier he was then en- rout. The
other day he, with his newly adopted child &C
strangely brought to him. started for New ORR
whence they will soon sail for England.

When the time came to report to the State

that the appropriation bill only gave the Gov.
