The highest price of iron at the mines,
to be penetrated by the Memphis, Boli-
var and Knoxville road, is twenty-five
dollars per ton. At some points its cost
is twelve dollars, Northern iron men
cannot sell for less than thirty dollars
without bankruptcy. A furnace pro-
ducing only twelve tons per day, and
making iron at a cost of twenty-five
dollars per ton, and selling at thirty dol
lars, clears sixty dollars per diem.
There is idle capital enough in Memphis
banks TO start twenty such furnaces.
Are there such irou-fields and such OPP
portunities for speculation, or is this
story about the iron-fields of Dixon and
Humphreys counties call gas Y' The
man that built the New Memphis gas
works doesn't think so. He has put his
money in Dixon county iron banks

Arkansas.

At last the President, thorough At
torney General Williams, has decided
that Baxter is clearly the Governor of
Arkansas, and gives Brooks ten days
from last Friday to disperse his mob
and give up the archives, otherwise
Gen. Sheridan will do the job for him.
He charges the Supreme Court Of the
State with judicial insubOrdination in
declaring Brooks Governor. Little
Rock is represented as going wild with
JOY, and few meddlesome people are
disposed to inquire why Grant has de-
layed this decision so long, and per-
mitted the loss of forty or fifty lives and
the expenditure Of as many thousands
of dollars. And the first thing we
know some one will be charging that IL
was a regular put up 'Job." Wen see
if Baxter doesn't play second fiddle to
Grant after this.

The Nashville Bulletin, the radical or
gan at Nashville, repudiates the senti-
ment of the late negro convention in re-
gard to mixed schools and social equal
ity, and fayors the immediate passage OF
the Civil Rights Bill now before Con-
gress, with the exception of the clause
relating to mixed schools. The same
paper defends the position of Brownlow
on this question and condemns the
course OF the negroes in finding fault
with their best friend. 1t is of the
opinion that the passage by Congress OF
the mixed school clause would be disas-

WATER VISITATION.
A Reservoir Breaks and the
Contents Flood Three
Towns.
Five Millions of Property De-
strOyed.

HAYDKNvILLE, MASS, May 16.-The
large reservoir, about four miles north
of this place, burst about o'clock this
morning, and the water came rushing
down the hills, carrying everything be
fore it. The flood struck the southeas-
tern portion of Williamsburg, village
two miles north of this place, carrying
away large numbers of dwellings, and
sweeping along to Skinnerviile, 1t de-
molished SINNERS large silk mills and
his boarding and dwelling-houses-
Continuing on, the waters struck the
large brass mandatory of HOydenger
& Co., sweeping it away in an instant.
Large stones and machinery were
swept through the main streets at a
fearful rate, and well-built houses were
instantly crushed, not giving the in
mates moments warning. The flood
caught the village of Leeds. where
large number of shops, dwellings, ETC.,
were swept away. The loss of life Is
very heavy in killed and drowned,
whole families having been carried over
the dams. 1t is impossible at this time
to give the number of lives lost.

The proclamation of the President has
produced quiet in Arkansas. Brooks
has disbanded his forces and subsidized.
This has been an anomalous struggle
from first to last. At the last Arkansas
election, nearly two years ago, there is
little doubt that Brooks was legally
elected. The corrupt ring that ruled the
State nevertheless "counted in Baxter,
who subsequently showed an unwil-
lingness to implicitly obey the orders
of the Ring, and he was therefore
thrown overheard by them, and the at
tempt made to put Brooks in his place.
For several weeks the situation has
been about this: Brooks, the legally
elected Governor, supported by the
scoundrels who at first kept him out of
office, was entrenched in the capitol
building, where he was besieged by
Baxter, the de facto Governor, who is
now supported by the opponents of the
ring. Honest men have found it very
difficult to decide between the two
scoundrels.
Later dispatches disclose the fact that
Brooks viii retire from the State House,
but viii still claim to be Governor.
