THR RIVER.

The change in the river here in the
last twelve hours has been scarcely per
ceptible; the highest point has evidently
been reached. Paducah was the only
point above at which a rise was reported
yesterday, and there it was but three
inches. The decline has set in at Cairo
10 earnest, and must be rapid after to-
day. The Signal report of a decline Of
eleven feet eight inches at Evansville is
evidently an error of ten feet, caused
probably in the same way that it oe-
Cured at Paducah last week. We hope,
however, that this time We, and not the
Signal reporter, have erred. The only
danger to be apprehended now will be
from neglect or want of vigilance on the
part of those who are dependent on the
levees for protection; in anticipation of
an early decline they may not be as
watchful or as willing to labor as when
the danger is supposed to be increasing.
0xE P.M.-The river has come to a
stand to-day at this point, and by Mon
day we hope to be able to record a de-
cline. The situation is more hopeful
than for several davs.

A member Of the Board OF Under
writer's says the chief consideration
which influenced the executive commit
tee to recommend a reduction of twenty
per cent. in sales or mercantile risks
was the growing tendency Of the Board
companies to either openly practice bad
faith or to withdraw entirely from the
Board and begin business, hazardous
competition and cutting under schedule
rates. The Board now regards its action
in making the reduction as foolish, be-
cause the tendency of this competition
was to cut down the surplus of COM
panies so that property was really COW
cred only for ordinary casualties, and
not for a great disaster that might visit
the city at any time.

THE MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON
RAILROAD,

This institution, once the pride and
hope of Memphis, and in which our citi-
zens invested their fortunes, has been
about as successfully ~mismanaged as
could we'll be imagined, especially since
Colonel Sam Tate left it. 1t may not
concern the public to 60 into details just
now or to state that the LEDGER has not
admired the recent management. We
only allude to this fact now by way Of
premise to a few remarks in regard to
the future of the road. 1t ought to build
up Memphis, rather than be a drain. The
time once was when immense freights
from St. Louis passed over it for
Atlanta and other Southern cities. But
competition and Encouragement de-
stroyed all this business until it amounts
to less in a month than formerly in a
single day. Colonel G. NJ. McGhee, Of
Knoxville, the vice president,has assumed
the general management of this and
other lines from Memphis to Bristol. He
is a man of enlarged ideas and fine
practical sense, and will give the Mem
phis and Charleston road new life. The
company has applied to the City Council
for the right to run horse cars from the
depot through High and Washington
streets to the landing and to erect an
elevator for the handling of through
freights. No exclusive privileges are
asked. This looks like a move toward
a Union depot, something Memphis has
long needed. We can see no objection
to granting the petition, provided the
company is required to comply strictly
with the conditions therein set forth.
The advantages to Memphis would be
more than at present is generally under
stood. 1t would give an impetus to our
shipping interests not felt for a long
time.

AboutPreachers.

A great many people entertain a wrong
conception Of the ministerial Office, and
of the relations Of a clergyman as a man.
When he meets in any circle (even in q
church sociable) be is expected by some
to look just so, to walk just so, to talk
just 30, and to keep in his own ministe-
rial course, and woe unto him if he
shortens his face. Such persons regard
the minister as a kind Of institution, Of
which the color of his coat, the tie Of his
neck.cloth, and the length of his face,
are essential parts. If one has a strong,
deep, sallow, bilious, or dyspeptic hue,
all the better for the dignity and gravity
of his Office. And then there are min
listers who are fools and ounces enough to
seek to. conform to such notions, and
who get a kind, and a worthless kind, Of
respect from such a source. The man
becomes absorbed in the office, and the
Office is regarded in a mechanical and
conventional way. The true minister is a
true man, carrying the head and heart
Of a man who is fitted for his work; not
by being shut ub in silly prophecies, and
whslebone etiquette; not by bis sternness
and unnsturalness, but by his universal
sympathies, and vital experience, and
who is none the less acceptable in our
sorrows, because he has been a
participant in our lawful joys, who does
not come to us mechanically, but with
the voice aud the hand of a true friend a
real representative Of the holy and living
Christ.

vile Chronicle. BE was first elected to
Congress in lS45, before he was thirty

Democratic party became a national
organization no candidate running as q
Democrat for Governor ever received a
majority vote in East Tennessee, except
the present incumbent. The Chronicle
reminds Governor Porter that he alone
of all the Democrats has the peculiar
satisfaction OF having carried East Ten
nessee. Even Andrew johnson was
beaten in East Tennessee in the popular
vote every time he was a candidate for
Governor. The people up there insist
that East Tennessee should have one Of

YELLOW lack.

The appearance Of yellow fever along
the southern coast is not cause for alarm
aIl over the country, because the people
down there know how to handle it and
prevent its spread. 1t comes like the
wind, where it listeth," and there is no
we'll defined route by which it travels.
When it was an epidemic here and at
Shreveport, in 1873. New Orleans, Mo-
bile, Pascagoula, Pensacola and all the
places of note along the Gulf coast es-
capped. Should it visit those places this
year, the interior towns and cities would
in all probability be exempt. 1t is said
that yellow fever exists in a very mild
form at New Orleans nearly all the year
round and only develops under certain
favorable circumstances or when a new
type is imported. 1t is q noted fact that
during the military occupation Of New
Orleans by Ben Butler when rigid camp
discipline was enforced and the city kept
perfectly clean, no yellow fever was
heard of, and it has never since appeared
there in a violent form. Shreveport was
in a filthy condition and was ripe for any
plague that might break out and suffered
in proportion. The same may be said
of Memphis. The only safety lies in the
strict enforcement CT sanitary reguls-
tons, which should be done all the time,
and not spasmodically. We may not
have an epidemic this far north again in
twenty years, but this problem depends
mainly upon ourselves.

Pinchbeck failed to develop as an ora
tor last night. The conditions were not
favorable. He addressed a crowd Of the
coloreds, with a sprinkle of whites, at
the Exposition, but it was commonplace
compared with the fiery, whang.doodles
Of Ed Shaw and Barbour Lewis. His
main point was that he was once mis-
taken for a white man, which tickled his
colored auditors immensely. That mis-
take may have occurred once, but it did
not happen in 1862 on a certain occa-
sion in New Orleans, which he has cause
to remember. The records Of the courts
and penitentisry show that be
was sentenced to some two years
in the %penitentiary for grand
larceny. Whether he served out
his term, we cannot say, but he certainly
entered the portals Of that institution
md was assigned to close quarters,
That Baltimorean he spoke of last night
not knowing that he was talking to a jail
bird, may have mistaken the bright mu.
latto for a Cuban or a S%paniard, and in.
vited him to share his bunk in a rail
road car. But that is more than Morton
or any Of his other Radical Northern
friends have done or will do. They arr
loud about the theory of social equality
but shy in the practice. They car
smell a negro in the wood-pile or behirt
it as far as anybody.
