The business season has just com
menced, and merchants have to ship
goods away and many make a display in
front of their stores. Without business
Memphis would become a dead town, and
business Of necessity obstructs sidewalks.
We would rather walk around a dozen
barrels and boxes on the sidewalk than
be forced to see the sidewalks bare and
vac ant, because clean sidewalks suggests
the absence Of trade. There is a law
prohibiting the obstruction Of sidewalks
with barrels, cotton bales, boxes, goods,
etc. Il is an arbitrary law, hat should
be construed literally, and if it is not SO
construed the law should be repealed and
modified. At the General Council meet
ing to. morrow night some measur,s
should be tafen to protect merchants
from arrest aud annoyance. When a
merchant is arrested on the charge Of
obstructing the sidewalks it costs him
S25 or $50 to defend the case. Law is
often q nuisance in itself, and the strict
construction Of general laws or ordi-
ances too often becomes oppressive and
unjust. The business season has just
commenced, and we appeal to the Gen.
eral Council to interfere and protect the
business community from annoying and
oppressive legislation. The only way to
do this is to repeal or modify several
sections OF the Board Of Health ordi-
auces with reference to obstructing side.
walks, etc. obstructing sidewalks falls
naturally within the police supervision
and there such jurisdiction should be
located,

ENGLISH and American Manufac.
tUFeFN.

From the London Spectator.
AS usual in depressed trade, the papers
are full of gloomy raticinations respecting
the manufacturing future of this country:
The alarm is expressed chiefly by returned
visitors from the Philadelphia exhibition,
who have been strongly impressed by the
undoubted advance made by the United
States in all kinds OF industrial enterprise.
But tho advocates of reciprocity are also
raising their voices, assuring US that all our
evils are due to the short-sighted statesmen
who persist In the suicidal policy of free
trade. We are are accustomed to this lugu-
brious wall In times of slack business that it
calls for no special notice. Doubtless it
will be hushed like so many ether laments
over the decadence of English commercial
prosperity, as soon as the effects of the mad
speculation that followed the close of the
Franco-German war have spent themselves.
These gloomy prophets seem to think IL our
interest that all other countries should re-
main poor and backward.
