it best not to break the family relations and his
wife holding that Mrs. TiltOn ought not to live
longer with her husband, and this she held

At the last moment when the house was full

HEAITH OF III CITY.

We are officially informed that the
city was never in a more healthy condi.
ton at this time of the year than at
present. All the physicians we have
consulted agree on this point. A few
mild cases of bilious fever have APP
peared, but hardly as many as usual.
Simply that and nothing more. The
people of this city know we'll enough.
when they think a moment. that the
LEDGER would be the first to give the
alarm if there was occasion for it. We
say this much for the benefit of a few
timid and silly persons who are contin-
ually running after the doctors to inquire
if there is not yellow fever in our midst.
To all such we would say, keep cool and
act sensibly. There is not only no yell
low fever in Memphis, but none in the
United States. Go to bed early, rise
with the lark, live temporarily, take the
LEDGER (only fifteen cents a week. and
you may live to a good old age and see
the custom-house built and the street car
fare reduced to a nickel But by all
means act like rational beings.

SAN FRANcIsoo. August 2S.-No Off
cial statement has yet been made Of the
condition of the Bank of California.
The directors applied to Flood 4 0'Brien
for relief yesterday morning, and offered
to present to that firm the entire paid up
capital stock Of the bank, namely; S.,
OOO,O 900; also, 81, 900, 900 dollars in bank,
and 81, 900, 900 IN addition, to be assessed
Oh the stockholders, provided Flood 4
0'Brien would for this consideration
assume the liabilities of the bank. The
proposition ives declined. The bank had
no doubt that the liabilities are $l4,00O,-
600; the available assets are not far from
81, OOO, 900, which shrunk considerably
before concentrated. The true condi-
ton of the bank had been concealed
from the directors up to Friday.
The directors of the Bank of California
met at one o'clock yesterday full
meeting, Mr.. Ralston soon entered.
Mills promptly asked him to resign his
position as President of the bank;
Ralston complied with the request at
once. Mills then asked him to leave the
room; he did 80.
The directors were still in session
when news was brought that Ralston had
drowned himself.
The true condition Of the bank had
been concealed from the directors; they
professed to be astounded at the devel-
opments. The stockholders will lose
their stock to pay all the liabilities and
will have to stand an assessment of
probably fifty per cent. Some $3,OOO,-
900 of the liabilities are in the form of
acceptances for advances made by our
leading capitalists to strengthen the
bank. Governor Stanford holds $780,
900 of these a%cceptances,
Ralston's body was placed in a casket
and taken from his house to the resi-
dence Of Colonel Fry. The funeral will
take place Sunday and the inquest to-
day at two o'clock.

WANTED 10 BE A MAJOR.eENERAI

WANTED TO BE A NAJ0R-GENERAL,
A Roman-nosed negro named Morris,
in Georgia, who was a bad slave and a
worse freedman, frequently visited South
Carolina and beheld with delight the mil.
itary musters of General Rivers, a col.
ored brother. The sound Of the fife and
drum and the sight Of colored squads, in
many colored uniforms, struggling
through an old field, inspired him with
an ambition to be a mAjorgeneral OF the
Georgia militia. Therefore, he went to
work with that end in view, and imag-
ined himself already another Seipio
Airicanus or Hannibal, on a prsncing
horse and wearing a streaming feather
in his hat, and golden epsulets on his
shoulders as large as a bundle Of Ger
man millet. BE thought he could com
pei Governor Smith to give him
q commission by making a demonstra-
ton, and caused three hundred cornfeld
negroes to assemble in a little town and
pretend to nominate him for Major Gen.
eral. But the coveted commission never
came, and desperation seized the soul Of
Morris. He resolved to strike terror
into the hearts Of the white people and
put himself in a position to force the
Executive into terms. Hence, the CON
spiracy, extending over nineteen oun
ties, to kill the white people, all except
the fair young ladies, seize their lands
and divide them out, and set up . kind
of State sovereignty which would be
recognized at the State capital and
Washington. When all was ready and
the bloody standard of Morris was
thrown to the breeze in a hollow one
night only about one hundred thick.
skulled negroes ventured to the place.
The whites, 300 strong, dispersed or
captured all Of them without firing a
gun. Morris, the would-be Msjor.Gene-
raj, is hiding out in the swamps, and
would, no doubt, be glad to pick cotton
at ten dollars a month if assured of pro-
lection from the law he has violated.
If ever found he will stand a chance to
pull hemp under very unpleasant cir
cumstances. AS far as actually known
that is the cause and the history of the
Georgia conspiracy, which only failed to
have a bloody termination because Of
the conservatism and law-abiding char
acter of its intended victims, the whites.
OF course the leaders were encouraged
by white Radicals, but they managed to
keep in the background.

IT is estimated that at least 10000
people in Chicago are out of work, and
great distress, If not riots and commu-
nistic uprisings, are spprehended this
winter. Thousands of miserable people
huddle together in such crowded cities
and exc out a bare existence, when they
might earn a competency and respecta-
bility in the country. They are not all
fit for farm work, but much brawny mus
Gle and sineW loafs about the cities
waiting for something to turn up, that
could be applied to advantage in the
fields. People are very slow to learn
that labor in the sun, in the broad, open
fields, is the most independent and
manly way of earning a livelihood.

A CORRESPONDENT Of. the Courier
Journal writing from Columbus, Iud.,
states that Mr.. Jefferson Davis had ac-
cepted an invitation to address the fair
to be held in hat county Bartholomew.
But he Cancelled the engagement. He
probably expected to take Columbus in
his way to or from Rockford, Ill. But
the truly loyal Bartholomewites rose in
arms about it, although the invitation
was sent by Republicans alone. The
fellows who hired substitutes during
the war could not tolerate the
presence Of Jefferson Davis.
They did not hold a public meeting like
the blatherskites at Rockford, but they
just simply gritted their teeth and swore
they would shoot him if he' appeared in
the town. Four or FIVE of the officers
resigned, and the others made up their
minds to write to Nj. Davis that it would
not be safe for him to come there when
his telegram was received. 1t is evident
that those people prefer a bloody shirt
to any quantity of balm that can be
manufactured between now and the next
Presidential election.
