FROM the New York Herald we learn
that the caief-engiaeer Of the army will
report to the secretary Of war, in few
days, his additional sppertionment Of
the appropriation made in the river and
hsrbor bill. II will not at present be
made public. II ia believed that it will
mainly apply to keeping W useful works
already commenced, and to preserving
what has already been begun. As the
largest share of the appropriation under
the bill was 50 managed by Representa-
tive Hereford, of West Virginia, as to
apply in the matter OF new works to
southern States, il is expected (sI d this
we want Randolph, Foote, E.beridge Il
Co. TO take particular note o) that the
disp sition made viii NOT meet with ap-
provsl in that q1srttr. There has been
a question whether the President could
interfere with the provisions Of su ap-
preparation bill; but it is asserted that
when he finds the condition of The treas
ury such ss to warrant il, he may sus-
pend the application Of funds for six
months without directly refusing to Gle
der the work TO go on.

THE New Yolk Herald, OF this mo n
ing, publishes letter from August Bel
mont ia 81 yeTr as a representative Of
Rothschild, to q dispatch in tO-dsy's
Evening Post to the effect that the syn
dicate was about to stop taking the heW
loan until Governor Hayes election is
assured. Mr.. Belmont says that the
safety and wisdom Cf the investments
in the funded debt OF the United States
don't depend on a Presidential cleo
tion in the opinion of European investors
any more than the soundness Of Egg
lish consols depends on whether the
ministry is tory or literal The ability
OF the United States to command capt.
tai depends Oh the universal belief that
the country is rich and that the people
will keep their promises, no matter what
politicians may say. He points ont the
fact that while English consols have
dropped two per cant. and the Russian
loan twenty per cent, the United States
five and fout and half psr cents have
dropped less than one per cent. during
the excitement over the Eastern ques.
ton.

THE debate between Messrs. Henry 8.
L cote and E. A. James, Republican and
Democratic electors for the State at
large, which came of at the Greenlsw
Operahouse last night, was listened to
by a very large audience, comprising
much of the representative elements of
both parties in memphis. A very full
report of what WAS said by both speak
ers will be found elsewhere. We need
hardly soy that Governor Foote fell far
behind his reputation SIS public man.
He relied upon the clap-trsp asser-
tiou, in which Radical orators are
wont to indulge, and manifested
but little of the experience in politi-
cal life we know him to have had. His
speech fell far below the introduction
he received IS the "compeer Of Web.
ster and Clay" Mr.. James was more
than match for him, because bis
speech wss more nearly an expression
of the spirit Of the times and the party
he represents. He met every statement
and accusation Of Governor Foote
promptly and squarely, and overcame
them by logical argument and unques-
tionsble proofs. He defended Mr.. TIL
den from the gross and offensive charges
made by Mr.. Foote at second band, aud
arraigned the Republican party for the
corrupt organization 1t ls. Mr.. James
acquitted himself with great credit, and
msde an endunngIy favorable impress
zion upon all who heard him. East
Tennessee has in him a worthy repre-
sentative, Democrat of ability for the
position he fills, and gentleman, who,
while he holds his own as a political
speaker, yields nothing Of shs courtesy
or dignity that becomes him.

PULASKI, October l6.-At q meeting
of the Tilden and Hendricks club of this
place on saturday might, General Whltthorne,
who was on his way home from Elkton, was
called on for a speech. He was introduced
by W. d. M'Callum, the president Of the club,
as admiral" Whitthorne. The general said
be was obliged 20 his friend for so Introducing
him, as it gave him an opportunity to explain
how he had obtained the tOtt5TtQLet and to
answer some questions Governor F0ote had
been asking? Before proceeding to answer
the questions he paid his respects to Governor
FOOte, who, he said, had lived in several
states and had left each one with the consent
of every citizen OF the same. He had been
banished by two governments, was bankrupt
In fame, b, nkrult in fortune, a patriot with
out country, leader without an army,
small idol with BrOwnlow, Yardley, Nancy,
Hughes and Reid as his truculent worship
pers Governor F. ote had asked what had
the naval committee done to compensate the
couutry for an expense of three hundred
thousand dollars. The latter charge was false
on a gigantic scale; as false as the secretary Of
the navy and his minions had been corrupt,
for tn eexpense OF the Investigation, instead
Of being the sum named, was not hf-
teen Thousand dollars, and that sum and
eight thousand dollars more was saved In one
single instance, as shown by sworn state
ment.
General VIII 'tthorne gave instance after in
stance of the exposure of the most hagrant
aud corrupt misuses of money, violation Of
law, and bargain snd sale, and said not the
half-not even the tentu-could be told in one
speech. But the corTupti n found and ex-
posed in this one department was true OF ev-
cry department Of the government, and this
told why the south was guilty OF so great a
crime in the eyes of Morton, blaine & Co., in
being united for Tilden. The south had but
one end in view, but one desire, and that was
to see The government honestly administered
"a benefit not peculiar TO one section, but all
sections OF the country. The distinguished
gentleman gave a glowing description of
Governor Tilden, and the good the country
may expect him to accomplish. He closed
with an eloquent prophecy of Democratic
success in November, and said that the best
men everywhere were rallying around our
stand ard- bearers, not for mere party success,
but that constitutional liberty may be pre-
served.
Ex Governor John e. Brown was called up
on, and though quite unwell, responded In
an enthusiastic speech, adding much OF cheer
and encouragement TO what General Whit
thorne had said. Both speeches were heartily
cheered by the large crowd present.

somerville Falcon, yesterday
Hon. J. E. Bailey, Of Clarksville, and
Hon. W. T. Avery, of Memphis, spoke to a
very fair audience in Somerville Monday.
Judge Bailey's argument was directed main
ly to our present financial condition. He
compared the financial condition, prosperity
and peace OF our country for a decade before
with a decade after the war. He said that as
Providence had furnished us with the same
means for prospecting since the war as before,
we must look among ourselves for the cause
OF our misfOrtunes, and charged the present
lures, causing the consumer to pay money
which Gid not lessen the national debt, and
other important points, were correctly and
fairly argued. His speech was plain, fair and
practical. He was followed by Hon. W. L.
Avery, who, on account of limited time,
touched only on a few main points. His
speech was, however, interesting and able,
and sufficient to direct the minds of his hear
ers to the live issues of the day.

A Gloomy Feeling in London.


NEW YORK, October l9.-Special dispatches
from London say the situation to-day is
quite as gloomy as 1t seemed yesterday. There
is indeed less excitement this morning on the
stock exchange than yesterday, but there is, If
possible, a profounder conviction that a gen
eral war is inevitable. The tone of the leading
papers this morning is not only depressed but
1t is despairtng. The leading writers seem to
give up all hope that general conflict can be
averted. 1t is conceded that no one can see
the end of the complications should Europe
really be summoned to arms. To add TO the
excitement and distrust, it is just announced
in London that orders have been given that
three corps of the British army shall be i'm
me6iately modified.
The London Stock Exchange Less
Panicky.
LONDON, October Is, IL a.m.-The stock ex-
change this morning opened freer from the
panicky feeling of yesterday, and most of the
stocks were slightly hrmer. COnsolS were a

tans are about one per cent. and Turkish frRc-
tiOnally higher, but HuDgarisn5 were one per
cent. lower. The absence of any definite news
merely checks sales. There are no Indications
Of the recovery OF confidence.

Porte to Yield.
LONDON, October l9.-Vienna advices are
that Austria and England are advising the
Porte 10 ylel0 on Jne guarantee question
Count Andrassy is determined to act in con-
cert with England on the Turkish question,
notwithstanding the efforts OF the military
court party of Austria to influence his action.
The present indications are that in respect to
the war programme Russia stands alone. Italy
has modified her rejection OF an armistice by
putting 1t in q milder form. The employ
ment OF troops to intervene in Bulgaria is
being agitated.
