So, $50, 913 so, CT at five cents per pound

bonanza to take from the pockets of the

tile world is prostrate from excessive
speculation, while consumers have
quietly but sturdily resolved that their
support shall be withdrawn from every
scheme that promises a renewal of the
fictitious prices which have been rob-
bling them of their substance for the
last ten years. The party in congress
which will father such a scheme in the
face of Presidential election would
commit hari-kari by so doing, for the
people would not stand it, and we
think the merchants protective assOcia-

make their voices so powerful in their

tilate the iniquity to the consumers, that
no sane politician would dare to sustain

Ole Of .he oldest, he is one Of the most
intelligent Of cur cotton dealers, bringing
to the conduct of his business an intelli-
gent foresight, which, having calculs-
ton rather than intuition for its basic,
has secured him a prominent position
among his fellow merchants. The best
proof of this intelligence, aside from his
high standing in the trade, lies in the
monthly crop reports which he has pre-
pared for the exchange, and which, es
the directors acknowledge, have largely
helped to maintain the pre-emineRce Of
that body above ali others in the coun-
try. Mr.. Gates, beyond question, de-
serves the handsome recognition OF his

More About the 0rpheus disaster.

SAN FRANCISCO, November "A The
Victoria Standard, received by steamer,
says efforts will be made to procure the
attendance Of the captain and crew Of
the Orpheus at the inquest on the bodice
of the victims OF the Pacific disaster,
and searching inquiry will be made as
to the cause OF the disaster. Charles
Thompson, one OF the crew Of the ship
Orpheus, has not sworn to the statement
before the notary public in Port Town
send, which charges the captain of the
Orpheus with having been the cause of
the disaster. He says that on raising
the lights Of the Pacific he was ordered
by the second mate to head for it, and a
few minutes after the captain came on
deck and ordered him to again put her
upon her course. About three minutes
afterward he was ordered by the captain
to let her luff, which he did. After this
the captain signifed his intention to the
speaker, for which purpose a light was
kept dead ahead until the two vessels
collided, then the steamer followed the
ship, the people on board shouting and
calling on the captain of the Orpheus to
stop and rescue them, but he did not
heed their cries, but kept on his course,
! and the steamer was soon lost to view.

so far as a convention could consent to
such a process. Fortunately congress
stands in the way sud the southern peo-
pie are not without the right OF petition.

and insist upon a new project that shall

COTTON EXCHANGE.
Annual Meeting-EncOuragIn Reports
From the Directors and the Treas
urer-The Election.

The annual meeting of the Memphis
cotton exchange took place in their rooms
last night, Mr.. J. T. Petit in the chair,
the president and vice-presidents being
absent.
Mr.. Lan6auer, from the board OF di-
rectors, presented the following report,
which was resd and adopted.
MEMPHIS, TENN, November "a, 1875.
To the President and Members of the Mem.
phis Cotton Exchange:
Your board of directors, in presenting
their second annual report, take great
pleasure in cOngrstulating the members
upon the continued harmonious and
successful working Of the exchange in
every re- pect, which, during the past
year, has been all that its most sanguire
friends could desire, as evidenced by the
fact that no case of dispute or misunder-
standing,,requiring the Intervention of
the committee on arbitration has arisen.
The several committees have been
prompt and efficient in their various du-
ties, and the financial resources have
kept pace with the needed expenditures,
not understanding the unlocked for in
creased outlay caused by the several re.
movals, refittiDg, and other expenses in
cidental to the occupancy OF the new
exchange building, which is now so well
adapted to the wants Of this institution.
AS will be seen from the report of the
treasurer, the total expenditure for the
past year, for all purposes, has
been So, 939, and the receipts for the
same time from all sources, SO, $50,
which, with the cash balance in hand
at the end of the last fiscal ye8r Of
$2503 SIS, leaves 3 cash balance in hand
of the treasurer of $2346 IA, which
amount will be largely augmented early
In December by the collection of an
nual membership fees. We estimate the
total income for the ensuing twelve
months at $12, 600, and beg to submit
the following budget OF expenditures for
the same time, items Of which are based
as nearly as possible upon those of last
year, viz.
