King ROthschild /.

In the Paris correspondence of the Rallloay
Neacs of October 30, London paper, we find
a very singular account of what is said to
have obtained credence on the Bourse of Paris
in an interview between NJ. Leon Say, French
Minister of Finance, and the head of the
House of Rothschild. The interview is de-
clared to have been strictly private, but
this has not prevented many-voiced rumor
from repeating infinitely what, most probably,
did not occur. The Bourse report is that sit
has been arranged that NJ. Alphonse de
Rothschild is to 60 without delay to Constan-
tinople, and, introduced by the ambassador Of
France, obtain an audience of the Sultan,
before whom he will lay certain proposals.
These are, in short, that the great banking
house, in concert with other leading financial
establishments, will pay the repudiated fifty
per cent Of the Turkish debt on the security
of large mortgages of Imperial domains and
the Vakouf property, some of the former
known to contain rich mines, which only re-
quire small outlay of money to produce
more than sufficient to repay the new credit
ors of Turkey their capital and interest. So
far the rumored arrangement is, if not highly
probable, at least one that seems not abso-
lutely impossible, but there is a rider attached
to it which borders on absurdity. 1t is
revival of the old story, embodied in pam
phlet which had a wide circulation some
thirty years ago, bearing the title Roth
schild l, Roi des Juifs.' The Turkish Gov
eminent is to give, in feudal tenure, the
greater part of Palestine, with Jerusalem for
a center, over to the Rothschilds for con-
sideration. After this remarkable on dit,

"SOUTHERN PACIFIC"
THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION IN NUTSHELL.
[Appeal, 2lst inst.l

[Appeal 21st instl
The Convention, which for two days has
| been considering the question of Congress
| sional aid to the Texas Pacific Railroad, with
| branches from Shreveport to Memphis, New
Orleans and Vicksburg, adjourned yesterday
after adopting a preamble and resolutions
| that fully cover all that the Appeal has con-
| tended for. We said in our editorial of Fri
day that we understood the Convention to
have been called not in the interest of any
particular city, but in that of the whole
South.
Such is the view the members have taken
in the conclusions reached after two days Of
debate, and which are so clearly expressed in
the resolutions which we publish in another
column. They there declare for Congress-
ional aid for the Texas Pacific from Shreve-
port to San Diego with branches from Shreve-
port to this city, to New Orleans, and to
Vicksburg, each branch to enjoy like facili-
tiles, immunities and benefits. This, if en-
forced by the necessary legislation. secures to
US Southern road in Southern territory. and
we hope, to be managed and directed by
Southern men.
Nothing was said of st. Louis because it
was understood st. Louis would take care of
herself in the convention of Tuesday next.
This was wise. Any attempt to fasten st.
Louis upon the resolutions would have been
met with storm of objections, Just as we be-
lieve the introduction of the name of that
city in the bill to be presented to Congress
will be met, for the reason that ST. Louis has
now more and better Pacific connections than
any city in the Union, and in anticipation of
the construction of the Texas Pacific has al
ready direct connection with the country
through which that line will pass, by the
Cairo and Fulton, the NJ. X. and T., the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and the
narrow-guage road running from Denver to
Pueblo.
With these four roads, and the Kansas Pa
cifc 10 Cheyenne, there connecting with the
Central Pacific, besides numerous other roads
running to Omaha, or intersecting roads be-
tween Chicago and that point, ST. Louis
ought to be content. But whether she be
content or not, we think that with her pres
ent advantages it would be an outrage upon
the States were Congress to subsidize any
connecting link to the Texas Pacific from
ST. Louis. She has now more than her
share, and as to her fighting US in Congress,
in case she is left out of the proposed bill,
We feel sure that Chicago and Cincinnati,
aided by New York, Boston and Baltimore
will see to that But with Mr. Broadhead's
disclaimer of antagonism in view, we do not
think there need be any fear on that score.
st. Louis will see herself that it is not polite
to antagonizs the whole South, just as she
will find that to carry the measure contem-
plated by the Memphis Convention she will
have, nay, we will all have to drop Tom
Scott and all his belongings and attach /
ments
