COMMERCIAL DECAY AT MEMPHIS.

Memphis papers come to Us with the
annual report Of the Chamber OF Com
merce of that city, which really does not
present very favorable showing for that
CITY as a cotton mart. Her cotton trade in
1875 amounted to about twenty-five mil
lions of dollars, against thirty-four millions
in 1874, showing decrease in this line of
business of more than eight millions of
dollars in the past year. To Offset this,
however, the Memphis Chamber claims an
increase in the general merchandise &C
count of from thirty mine millions in 1874
to forty four millions the past year gain
of about five millions-which amount, in
turn, deducted from the eight millions
lost on cotton, still leaves Memphis as a
city on the decline.
Is there any lesson in these figures for
our political croakers in Louisiana? Ger
tainly Memphis has not suffered under
any Radical rule, and the State of Tennes-
see has been in the hands of the Bourbons
now for many years. Some other cause
than a political one must be assigned for
this dry rot which is eating away at the
heart of great Southwestern city. Will
the Democratic physicians of our body
polite give it their attention, and furnish
q solution?

THE PROTEST OF REPUBLICAN SEN
ATORS.

The statement signed by Republican
Senators, which appears in another col
umn, tells the whole story in very few
words. That body has been ready at any
time during the past sixty days to meet
the House on any fair and equitable
grounds and consult upon measures for
the public good. But, nevertheless, the
Republicans have insisted upon their
right, as it was their duty, to scrutinize
bills, and take care that in a plan for re-
form a scheme for a job might not be
snaked in. In the so-called election re-
form bill the proposition was made pat by
the House to leave the gate ajar, SO that
the Democratic wolf could sneak into the
Republican fold and play havoc with the
unprotected flock. 1t was refusal or in
evitable defeat with the Republicans, and
they refused, Of course.
Again. In the bill to amend the six
hundred dollar exemption law, a proviso
was made to permit the lessons to seize
everything . poor, unfortunate debtor
family possesses, without asking any sort

THE sORDID SHOPKEEPERS.

If the seat of State government were
at Shreveport, the extracts from the
political records of that ferocious city ad-
wise US pretty we'll what might have been
expected here within the past and present
sixty days. A Democratic State govern
ment would have been proclaimed, Dem
ocratic army of Coushatta sharpshooters
organized, and a Democratic majority of
the popular vote secured by the simple
process of the shotgun qualification for
suffrage.
But Shreveport is not Louisiana, nor do
the revolutionary politicians, with the
''iawless men testified to by Hon. Mr..
Levy and others, count for as much
among the bales, casks and Golfers Of
large city, whose population must labor to
live. We are aware that this peaceful in
terest has been under great pressure.
Forced loans have been required from
them for several years past, and they have
recently been threatened that unless they
give their streets to be barricaded and
their clerks to be shot, Red river will
never permit them to advance another dol
lar for wages or forward another barrel of
pork or sack of corn. They are even told
that there is

famous, fatal submission to wrong and to
usurpatiOn.
And fhen remin1ed-
This is the peace the sixty signers of the
memorial protesting against Kelloggs I'M
peachment have mistaken for public bless
ing.
We have some indications that these
people, so wanting in chiyalry as to object
to street war, will not submit to such
dictatio on or to such language. There are
Conservative journals whose patronage
consists chiefly in the advertisements of
business men. These journals are now
speaking out, or speaking as distinctly by
not uniting with the revolutionary party
in demanding government of proclama-
tons and barricades.
The Times has advocated adjustment
and reform. The Picayune seems to have
seen, or been told, that violent measures
are neither good for the commercial nor
Conservative interests; while the Bulletin
a few days since, thus spoke for itself and
the sixty-one merchants who protested
against impeachment for the sake Of
Office:

+ safeguard about prompt payment Of

Of safeguard about prompt payment OF
taxes.
The premium bond scheme, which was
introduced into the House under an I'M
usual press of steam, supplied from
irregularly obtained paper indorse-
ments, was so full Of legal de-
fects that the Senate, though at one
time disposed to look with some favor
upon it, was compelled to abandon it in
despair of putting it into decent shape.
There was very weak spot in the section
which provided for the drawing, through
which great leak would have been pos
sible in case the administration should
ever fall Into the hands Of dishonest men.
Besides these little crooked suggestions,
the House has obstinately refused to pass
q single act to reduce the fees and salaries
Of Democratic officials. TWAS a foregone
conclusion with the professional reformers
of that body that none should pass. It
may even be doubted whether they were

of fanny officials, on account Of latent hope
entertained that they would capture the
Office before the year is out.
The Legislative proceedings in the Sen
ate have been stayed on more than one
occas ion by revolutionary proceedings in
the House. Some of the measures which
have been thus delayed and obstructed
are recited in the statement of the twenty
one Senators. And, finally, despairing to
accomplish any good purpose by remain
ing longer in session, the Senators plainly
j intimate that they will be compelled in
ju stice to themselves to adjourn sine die
upon assembling to-day at twelve o'clock.
Such course will, of course, close the
business of the session and put an end to
all further proceedings Of whatsoever de-
s cription. Of course, the Senate will
meet again tomorrow under the call of
the Governor; but the House will be out
of existence. Such now threatens to be
the inglorious termination Of the present
session.
