New ORLEANS, Nov. a. Repre-
sentatives of a number of leading
newspapers in the country, had a
meeting here last night and adopted
resolutions for presenting to the re-
turning board to-day. They set
forth that they cannot properly re-
present to their papers, the procee-
dings of this board so fraught with
national importance and interest,
unless admitted to the daily sessions
This was refused by the board for
reasons already given.
New YORK, Nov. "a A gentleman
who saw Tweed yesterday, in answer
to an inquiry, said he is crushed
and broken, and has lost his Ole
buoyancv and defiant spirit. He is
suffering from pleurisy, and is actu
ally i'll, and seems wearied and anx-
ious to know about his old acquaint-
ances. He is entirely in the dark as
to what to do, and is even without
legal advice. He needs medical ad-
vice more than anything.
The Times Cincinnati special says:
It turns out that no electors were
voted for in Kentucky. The vote
was rira coce, and Tilden and Hen
bricks and Hayes and Wheeler were
the only persons voted for. The
names of the electors were not print
ed, and not one man in a thousand
knew who they were.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 24.-The Supreme
Court has issued a rule to the State
canvassers to show cause why they
should not be attached for contempt,
in violating the writ of prohibition
issued on the 18th inst. and issuing
certificates in defiance of the court.
The answer is made returnable at
4 o'clock this afternoon.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24-The Tribune's
Washington special says Tilden is
represented as busy reading up Con-
stitutional questions on the election
of President, law books, Congress
sional proceedings, etc, and partic
ularly studying the laws of the
Southern States now in dispute, and
where ineligible electors have been
found. He is in constant consulta-
tion with prominent politicians and
lawyers concerning possible conti-
gencies affecting his chances. This
is believed to be for the preparation
of plans for Democratic Congress
men if Hayes electors receive certif-

An EIenhnntIne Arch.

Among the honors paid to the Prince
Of Wales, during his visit to India, was
an arch prepared for his reception in
Colombo, Ceylon. The novel arch was
formed in this manner: Two elephants
were placed opposite each other, at such
a distance apart hat their trunks, being
raised in the form of an arch, the ex-
tremities met and seemed to be fastened
together. Over the point of junction a
rod was raised, on which a crown was
suspended. On the sides of the huge
animals banners were arranged, on
which we're inscribed in large capitals,
Welcome to the Prince Of Wales" 1t
was certainly a unique form Of arch
building, and a marvellous proof Of the
docility of the elephants hat they could
be induced to remain in so constrained
and apparently uncomfortable a position
for any length of time. Elephants take
a prominent part in many of the enter.
tainme1ts given to the Prince of Wales.
They salute him on Bonded knee, with
their trunks lifted high in the air they
transport him in his travels from place
to place they figure largely with their
gorgeous trappings in the pageants got
ten up by the Indian princes for the re-
ception Of their distinguished guest.
This is all well enough, and in these
cases conformity to the fashions Of the
land involves no sacrifice Of principle.
But when the peacefully disposed ami
mails are goaded on to a fierce battle
with each other for the Princes amuse.
ment, it is another thing. The picture
Of the elephant fight, with the heir pre-.
sumptive to the British throne in promi-
nent position, looking upon the brutal
combat, which has appeared in all the
illustrated papers, is a disgrace to the
representative and prospective ruler Of
a great nation. Even if the royal guest
felt that courtesy to his hosts required
his presence at such a barbarous specta.
Gle, the special artist might have omit
ted the sketch Of a bloody fight where
the presence Of a Christian Prince seems
not only an incongruity in view of his
/ high official position, but also brings
upon him the disapprobation Of all those
who despise an exhibition Of wanton
cruelty, and to whom a fight gotten up
between two peacesbly disposed bruteI
is nothing but a display Of inhuman bar
barity. 49, Providence Journal.

r. c. TYLER.

Eleven years ago to-day, April lIth,
General Tyler, Of Memphis-th last
Confederate General officer who lost his
life in the war between the States-was
killed at West Point, Ga, in the action
fought by a brigade of Federal cavalry
under command OF Col. La Grange and
sboutone hundred and fifty Confederates
under General Tyler.
The above, from the Knoxville
Tribune Of the 10th instant, recalls
wildly to mind the intrepid ser.
vices and the commanding form Of
one of the most gallant men that
ever drew a blade. he went out
from Memphis, braved all, endured
all, and finally fell a martyr to that
which was then the common cause
Of the South. But in eleven short
years he is almost forgotten save BY
a few of us who stood by him in the
heat Of battle under a tattered and
bullet-ridden battle-fag. He sac.
rificed his life unnecessarily at
West Point, but it was characteris-
tic of the man. Although suffer
ing from a desperate wound re-
ceived at Missionary Ridge and UNI
able to walk without the aid Of
crutches, he stood by the guns to
the last and fell toward a superior
and triumphal foe. His body was
buried with honor and tender care
by the people of West Point
After the war it was pro.
posed by the Confederate Historical
and Relief Association of Memphia
to have the remains of General
Tyler removed to our beautiful
ElmwoOd, but the citizens and la.
dies Of West Point objected 20
Strenuously that the matter was
dropped. he rests among those he
nObly defended, and no doubt with
each recurring anniversary of hi,
fall his grave is bestrewn by fan
hands with the sweetest offerings Of
spring, and that his memory is as
green in true hearts as the turf
above him. Long may such mem.
cries be cherished.

rHx rAILuREs or 1875.

The report of failures thus fal
this year furnished by r. G. Dur
& Co.'s agency is not encourag'
ing. The figures show an increase
in mercantile casualties, which
though expected, is larger than was
anticipated. The number of fail
ures are set down at 1906, with
liabilities of $64, 1000. Compared
with the same quarter in 1875, in
which the number was 1888, with
liabilities Of $3S,OOO,O 900, the in
crease is very understanding
to 1913 in number, and $2S,000,O00
in liabilities. But as compared
with the statistics for the previous
quarter, or the last three months of
1875, the showing is not so bad. In
order to present the figures in more
intelligent shape for comparison,
we group them as follows:
Number. Liabilities.
First Quarter in 1876 2S06 64,0OO.000
First Quarter in 1915 IIS y.0O0,00
Last Quarter in 1875 2405 100000
While, therefore, there is a slight
increase in the last quarter over that
just previous to it in number, there
is a positive decrease in liabilities.
Still, for the last six months the
failures have been exceptionally
numerous, and do not give much
encouragement to the hope that
the return of a prosperous cOndi-
ton is any nearer, except in the
passage of time, than it was a year
ago. Respecting the future there
does not appear much in the present
outlook to encourage the hope of
immediate revival of business. The
Circular from which we have quoted
land which is prepared with the
usual care and ability, concludes
as follows:
The spring trade generally has been
very disappointing both in extent and
profit, and the bsckwardness of the sea.
