ital invested in mining Alabama coal
If sold in Memphis az only the cost Of
Pittsburg coal in that market.
AS to the quality OF the Alabama coal,
the Age asserts that it has long since
been settled by analyses, that the Ala
bama coal possesses qualities far superior
to the Pittsburg, and taken in connee-
ton with the advantages herein set
forth, makes the development Of the
Alabama mines the opening up Of new
avenues to great future wealth to that
region, and TO Memphis in controlling
its traffic. In discussing the question Of
iron, and the relation to Memphis as the
future manufacturing city Of the SOUTH
west, the Age argues:
Leaving entirely out Of the question
the practicability Of making iron ON the
spot where these ores and Goals are
found in close contiguity, we will exam
inc what the ores alone will cost in local.
ities where iron is now made in qusnti-
ty, and where ores are in strong request.
Assuming Lake Superior ore to cost but
SO p in Pittsburg, which ia, as furnace
men know 10 their sorrow, below the &C.
tuaI figures; and Missouri ore at IS 80
per ton, also too low; il is claimed these
Alabama ores can be supplied at the
mouth OF the Tennessee river at s. Per
ton, putting them in Pittsburg for about
half what either Superior or Missouri
ores cost. At Memphis, coal from Ken
lucky, costing So 25 per ton, is used with
ores Of like cost, aud with the advan-
tages thus offered Memphis should be
one Of our greatest manufacturing CEN
ters; coal and ore being attsisnble from
the Alabama fields cheaper than they
can be delivered at st. Louis, or say 81
each per ton.
Here we have advantages set forth
that belong t. Memphis Slone, based
upon the building Of single connecting
line Of railway with the Memphis and
aud without any reference
to other projected lines that we know
of, and from which we are assured Of
advantages leading to the same
results. We have to thank the Iron
Age for the statistics herein setting forth
the prospective greatness Of our city, as
well as giving so much attention to the
subject,

zRnee fftt Next Terra.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-Ih he
courtroom was crowded to-day from ten
to eleven o'clock, in expectation of the
jury in the safe burglary case
being sent for by Judge Humphreys,
but after visit TO Judge Marshall, it
was announced that nothing would be
done until twelve O'Clock, indicating
that the jury would be allowed an ex-
tension Of time, in order, il possible, to
make up verdict. Harrington, Whitley
and Williams, the accused, were pres
ent. At twenty minutes past eleven
the jury came into the courtroom. The
roll was called, and the Judge said: al
am about TO ask you few questions,
but you need not answer anything ex-
eept just what you are asked.n Turning
TO the foreman, he asked:
Have you agreed upon a verdict?
ForemRn-We have, sir, as 10 one of
the defendants.
Judge-Is there q reasonable probable
ity that you viii not agree upon the
guilt or innocence of the other defend
ants?
Foreman-There is.
Judge-What do you all say, gentle
men?
The jury were unanimous that they
could not agree as TO the Others. The
foreman said that after a full e0nsulta-
tiOn with the members of the jury, he
thought 1t impossible to agree.
Judge-Well, that is the only way in
which you can find out about it. Now,
l want to caution all in the courtroom
against any demonstration when the
verdict shall be given. do not feel as
though l ought to hold this Jury any
lnp off .uf I faal laa
careful consideration Of the case on tneir
part.
The foreman (rising 1--WE agree that
Arthur b. Williams is innocent but can
not agree upon Whitley and Harring-
ton. The Jury were then discharged
and the Judge ordered the clerk to con-
tinue the recognizauees till the next
term of the court. and then adjourned.
Immediately after adjournment Har-
ringtOn, his brother, and A. B. Williams
at once stepped forward and cOngratu-
lated Barker. One Of the colored Jurors,
dismissed, divulged the fact, that on the
first ballot they stood eight for acq Initial
and four for conviction in HarringtOn's
case, the following jurors voting for con-
viction: Craig, Mann, and HickliDg,
White and MOsely, cOlOred, and that the
vote did not change during the whole
time they were out. In Whitley's case
the vote stood nine for acqUittal and
three for conviction, Kicking chang
ing his vote in the case OF Whitley,
and this vote was not further
changed. There was LO differ
ence Of opinion in Willisms's case,
all agreeing that he was innocent. The
jurors agree in their statements that
Craig stood like a rock for conviction,
and that Mann and Mosely adhered to
him. They also assert that Craig was
cursed, reViled, aud called every vile ep.
tibet it was possible to imagine, in order
to make him change his opinion, but he
did not finch. He was intimidated by
every plan they could devise, but with
out effect.
The crowd fingered about the court |
room for half an hour, discussing the
subject, and talking with the jury, who
were free TO relate what transpired in
the jury-room.

SOUTHERN COTTON CLAIMS.
BeR- ButleF's Rfng. Consisting Of Fes
sender, NserF, ChaadIsr. she Ds-
Geafed Ben, and Others
BristOW's Expose.

A Washington special OF recent date
gays it is stated by Secretary BristOw
that he will forward his report by mail
to the more important dailies, so that it
may be placed before the public with
the Presidents message, free from the
errors that would necessarily be made in
telegraphing il. 1t is understood that,
among other recommendations the Sec
retary will advise that the cotton claims
now pending before the treasury depart
ment be transferred to the court of
claims. This is q recommendation that
ought to be made, or the abolition Of the
cotton claims divisions seems to be i'm
peratively demanded. The amount of
the claims pending is, in round num-
bers, fourteen millions of dollars, which
is for cotton seized subsequent to in
structions from the treasury depart
ment in. 1865, fOrbidding such ssiz-
ure, and the money now lies In
the treasury. The division was or
ganized by William E. Chandler, assist
ant secretary under M'Culloeh, and it is
asserted that Chandler is about the only
successful practitioner before the df-
vision. The head Of the division is a
man named NOerr, who was formerly
one OF Pinkerton's detectives, and his
chief assistant is Msjor Fessenden, Of
Maine, who was dismissed from the
army for the embezzlement Of twenty
thousand dollars while he was holding
the position of psymaster. Although
the buresu has been in existence since
1854, less than million dollars has been
refunded for cotton unlawfully seized.
In that time nearly three hundred
thousand dollars have been appropriated
70, fafa
OF this cotton, while it Is reasonably
certain that twenty thousand dollars
should have been ample for the purpose,
the large excess having gone, it is
into the pockets of men claim !
ing TO work In the government interest,
but who have, in fact, done nothing. |
Cotton claimants say that unless |
they employ William &. Chandler |
they can get no satisfaction from /
the division, and that even then the |
cases are informally applied to the court
Of claims, where they can do nothing
without the assistance of Ben Butler.
They outline ring consisting of NOerr,
Chandler, Butler and others,
who bleed the claimants numerically.
Whatever may be the facts regarding
.hese allegations, it seems clear that an
eX-deteetiye aud an eX-army officer, dis
missed for embezzlement, ought not TO
be trusted with the disposition of fund
nearly as large as the Geneva award.
The very gravest charges Of bold at
-empts by these to blackmail claimants
are made freely. The claimants say that
sooner or later in the prosecution of their
claims they are advised by friends of the
cotton ring, as it is called, to employ
Chandler, who extOrts exorbitant fees,
as the quickest and suTest way to secure
the money.
