The world moves. How many mon
scientific men, too-laughei 1t tho idea of
sending dispatches by telegraph whom
rhat wonderful science was first talked
about And now comes man. with an
adea, nothing but an idea VIC are sAlo to
SAY, and declares that before twenty-five
years roll around there will DO no such
thing as telegraph wire used in this
country; that everything now done in the
way Of Transmission Of nows by telegraph
will be done By spiritual mediums. That
railroad companies will employ mediums
IN place Of tue telegraph to run their
trains, and do all tho other work, and
newspapers will employ clairyoyauts 10
tell them what is going on in different
parts Of tho world. When all tbcse
things come 70 pass the clairvoyeut buri.

rIaoR Ar1n nrrrrssIon

The general state of the markets in
this and in every other city where trade
is usually active, is dull. The late occa-
sional failures have aroused all that feel
ing Of distrust which was created by the
panic Of year ago, and which was in
the process Of disappearing. That bank
ruptcies will become frequent; that
panic will again unfold its black and
calamitous wings, nobody believes. We
sll know that the business Of the coun-
try is too free Of any speculative faint;
that it is a mere supply of actual and
present wants; that no one trusts with
out guarantee, or buys without q GER
tainty Of selling again. In such circum-
stances panic is impossible. Banks and
| business men are fortified sgainst de
struction, because they stand solid on
''the hsrd-pan." They trust nobody
and nobody trusts them; there
fore "a smash" is out of the gGes-
ton. But the situation, though
safe, gis not to prosper in. When a man
is confined in jail he does not starve for
want-but be does not get fat. We
must get out Of the jail OF distrust, and
buy and sell with confidence, befaEe
"the good time that's coming" will
come. 1t is gratifying, amid the tor
pidity of general business, to observe
how actively the Memphis cotton trade
goes along. Breaking through ali the
barriers that confine other branches OF
business within oppressively narrow
limits, the Memphis cotton traffic
flows vigorously on like a fair river
slong q valley that-but for its fertiliz-
ing pOvers-would be q desert. 1t is
true the hardness Of the times-which
have compelled spinners to close their
mills one-third Of the time-has
the price OF cotton,
but in Memphis, at least, it |
has proved unable to shorten its
supply, or curtsil its sale. Up TO
this cay IS, 425 bales Of cotton have ar
rived here since the opening Of the
present season, on the first Of Septem-
Der, against 49, 297 bales received to the
same date last year. This is an increase
1f a. 2S bales. Memphis is thus not
only " holding her own " amid dullness
aud depression, but is actually increas-
ing her receipt Of cotton-snd her sales
keep in proportional expansion with
her receipts-st time every other bust
0ess is shrinking within the smallest
compass, underwriting other days and
other Influences before it dare swell out
ts proportions and boldly face al the
gloom Of s dull season, and conquer all
he distTust of the hesitating capitalist.
Cotton in the Memphis market is doing
ali this, and place having such pow
er within its grasp can know no such
word as failr'

What wisdom! Whist triumphant states

craftsmanship the army is put under the
command OF the attorney-geRerdl, and
who can say that our constitutional

law officer OF the government. The
constitution provides a mode by which
the President may lawfully furnish
troops in aid Of State authority, but of
course the constitution does not apply

met together" while the wisdom Of

has been committed OF which the United
States authorities have jurisdiction, or
which the State authorities are
unable to deal with. 1t is true that there
have been riots, and bloody outrsges
which have been perpetrsted in some Of
the southern States. There have been
rsce-cOnficts, the legitimate result of
Radical legislation, carpetbsg usurpation
and ignorant negro rule, upheld and en-
coursged by Grant; but no one is mo-
Tested. The negroes right to vote has
never been abridged in this district
and there is no possible justification
for qusrtering the troops which Barbour
Lewis has had ordered to West Ten
nessee. This last outrage, however,
has had the effect Of intensifying the
opposition to Lewis and Of concentrate
ing every white man in the tenth con-
gressional district to H. Casey Young.
