Damp IAmeS In tennessee.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 6th.-The
river Is rising steadily at the rate of
two inches in twenty.four hours. The
weather is cloudy and threatening.
The levees below here as far down as
Friar's Point are still reported good,
the only break being at the cut in the
old town levee, through which the
water Is pouring, threatening the
plantations below. The river near st.
Francis, Almadon county, Ark, had
risen four feet at midnight last night,
and was rising rapidly. This water
comes from the Mississippi river, near
New Madrid, and threatens the fine
cotton lands above Helena on the Ar
kansas side. Cotton men predict a
loss of $4,000 bales of cotton in the
Memphis district alone, from the out
look at present. A letter from the
mouth of White River, 2l5 miles be-
low here, written on the 4th, says 1t
Will take foot more to get on half
the cotton on the outside of the levee,
one-third Of which is now in the water
one foot. It will take in at least half
behind the levees. We can stand
three feet without damage. The corn
planted In low lands is under water
and lost.

Speaking tonight.

g This evening Mr.. p. D. WIaaINToN
Democratic candidate for Congress
and our talented townsman, Colonel
FRANK GANAHL will address the peo-
pie ON the political issues of the day.
OfFRANK aANAHL's ability and ora
tory we need say nothing to the peo-
pie OF Los Angeles or of Southern
California. They know that as an
orator he has few equals. Mr.. WIG
CLINTON Is a comparative stranger
among US but he il man of sterling
worth, superior intelligence and great
elocutionsry power. We request
all to hear this gentleman this eve-
ming. He is abundantly able to state
his own case and to successfully and
satisfactorily defend himself against
the charges which Mr.. HoUaHToN's
friends have preferred sgsinst him.

Col. Peel and Dr.. Richardson.

1t is impossible to get body of men
together for the purpose Of deliberat-
sng upon any'st6ject, without having
persons who are liable to make indis-
crete remarks. The Democratic con-
vention held In the Court House on
Wednesday was superior class OF
men. TAX Q them altogether we have
never seen In the county, more con-
siderate and intelligent body ofgentle-
men collected together. Yet In that
body there was some indiscrete things
said. We allude to the remarks made
about DIR. RICHARDSON and Col. PEEL.
These men at heart are Democrats.
And two more out spoken, candid men
cannot be found in the county, and
we know their object in joining the
independents was net to damage the
Democratic party, but to correct some
Of the evils they saw In 1t. Hundreds
Of our best citizens have in times past
taken the same view Of the case and
are now satisfied their course greatly
benefited the party aud they are to-
day as staunch Democrats as we have
In the ranks. We have no doubt that
DR.. RICHARDSON and Col. PEEL will
be among the strongest supporters OF
the principles Of Democracy In ma
tional contest. And to say their evil
dence would not be taken In Demo.
cratic convention was very lndiscrete
to say the least of 1t. Although we
are inclined to be Independent Demo-
cratic ourselves, we believe It q good
thing that we have large number Of
men sufficiently independent to cor
rect the evils Of all political parties.
We believe that the Democratic par
ty has been benefited by the lessons
it has received. The superior charac-
ter of the nominations just made In
dicate this. If this is so we are under
obligations to the DR.. and Col. and
now invite them home again with q
promise to treat them as our best
friends.

JOHN BIDwELL was nominated for
Governor on the sole merit that he
knows all about the State--is familiar
with every locality-and, is we'll In
formed concerning her wants and re-
sources. He has not even this quail
ication as We are able to show. When
at Bakersfield the other day he en-
quired If the town of Inyo was not in
Kern County, and on being informed
that it was not, he said "Ah, I Iremem-
Der now, Kern county extends down
to the Arizona line" The "town" Of
Ihyo will have to look out for itself,
but 1t is rather hard on the residents
Of Inyo and San Bernardino counties
to be thrown over, those of one into
Nevada and the other Tito Arizona.
The General does not know o great
deal about California after all.

Apetition signed by large number
of the leading merchants of this city,
was presented to the Council on Thurs
day evening urging a central location
of the Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad depot. This petition we are
assured expresses the earnest wish of
nearly our entire business community.
In the petition reference is made to
the land near the foot Of Also street
as a convenient location for the depot.
We are not sufficiently familiar with
the locality to express an opinion on
Its eligibility further than to say that
1t is central and has the advantage of
being near the stOrehouse part of the
city. The Council referred the mat
ter to a special committee who will
report at the next meeting.

Public Park for Los Angeles.

The article on this subject In our
evening cotemparary from the pen of
Col. PEEL is we'll timed, and coming
from the source it did ought to give it
weight with the community. The au-
thor owns no land, and has no axe to
grind. His Judgement is impartial,
and after considering the matter care
fully, we are thoroughly convinced
that his Judgement is sound on that
subject. That the city must have
park is conceded by every man who
considers the welfare of the city. The
time and the place to make the park
are the only questions which admits
of discussion. That this is the most
favorable time, 1t is only necessary to
say that we can make it cheaper now
than we can at any future time. This
emphatically settles the first question.
The only remaining question is, the
best place to locate it. Cheap lands
can be purchased very near the city.
But something more than land is re-
quired to make q desirable park. We
must have shade trees, shrubbery and
grass, and to have these in this climate
near the surface. II the water is on
the surface there is an endless expense
of bitches and hands to distribute it on
the grounds. And from the past
management of the little parks in the
city we feel safe in saying that our
city fathers would never incur the
expense of keeping upa public park
outside of the city. But if the ground
was sufficiently moist to produce any
thing planted out, we have some hopes
that the council would incur the ex.
pense of having the grounds well set
in trees and shrubbery. In this case
the first expense would be the last.
We know of no place better adopted
for park than the one indicated by
Col. PEEL. And we hope the city
council will at once take the matter In
hand and send out q committee to
procure the most suitable place that
can be found. Land is rising In value
rapidly, and delay In this case is only
adding additional expense to the city.
Taking it for granted that there is
but one opinion on this subject we will
not argue the necessity Of the park.

hundred and fifty coal porters wearing
green sashes and mounted on powerful
horses. The assailants were headed
by Hon. P. J. Smythe, Member
of Parliament from West Meath.
Among the coal porters was o man
carrying the stars and stripes. These
men attacked the Amnesty Brother
hood, and the first encounter between
them ensued, the result Of which was
that the front ranks Of the Amnesty
people were broken and the head of
the column thrown into disorder.
The melee was one OF the genuine
Irish kind Of fist and sticks, willfully
used, and the air rang with impreca-
tions. Bruised and broken bones were
In order, but fortunately nobody was
killed. After order had been re-estab-
lished, the procession got under way
again, and soon reached Sackville
street, where they were received with
loud and deafening cheers. 1t is the
opinion Of many old residents
that the day will not terminate with
out some trouble or serious encounter
taking place. The procession arrived
on Sackville street at 2 o'clock, mean
time the coal porters, who were Or
ganized as the Workingmens' Socie-
ty, were carrying little American flags
to the number OF one hundred or so.
They made diversions and got ahead Of
the column, thereby putting the AM
nesty and Home Rule party In the
second place. The Amnesty men dis
played a large black banner at the
head of their line, and carried small
banners of same color, each inscribed
in white letters the words "Remem-
ber the Prisoners In Chains"
A struggle again took place for the
precendenc the Amnesty men with the
big black banner pushing forward with
the intention Of being the first upon
the platform. The general mob made
. rush at the same time and Q scene
Of great excitement and confusion
ensued. The Amnesty men climbed up
on one side Of the platform just as the
coal porters ascended on the other, so
that both got on together. Each par
ty seemed satisfied with the victory
thus achieved, and while affairs 10 oked
very threatening for a few minutes, no
blows were interchanged.

is attended with these advantages: The loan
can be repaid In small monthly amounts
which include the interest and part of the
principal, so thai by the expiration OF the term
II Can be all paid withClt any great inconven-
ience to the borrower; the rate OF interest Is
generally lower; the expenses Of obtaining
loans, and If 1t is borrowed upon good paying
property then it often happens that the rents
will meet the monthly instalments and In
