dress of blue silk, golden hoops and
rosettcss of national colors. continues
to draw at the rooms of the Cotton
Exchange. A number of ladies called
on the Pride of the Valley" yester-
day, and were much interested in its
h story and the part it is to take in the
coming Centennial Exhibition at Phil
adelphia. Crowds have visited tle
@ 'tton Exchange daily since the bale
has been on exhibition, and it will be
the centre of attraction as long as it is
allowed to remain therein. By the
way, we notice that Superintendent
Toof has been marking" the bale, by
causing the following inscription in
gilt letters to be placed on both ends:
memphis Cotton Exchange; Centen-

one side of the inscription is the coat
of arms of Tennessee, and on the
other that of Arkansas eurrounded by

didate for the Presidency, and that as
such lac would be the most difficult of
all to beat. The Senator said that
Conkling and Blaine would much pre-
fer Hayes to each other, but that
neither would consent to Bristow, and,
further, that he believed a large por
ton of Morton's supporters, while they
would not be likely to wheel into line
for any eastern man, would prefer
Hayes to any one else from the West.
Mr.. Thurman thinks for the demo
cratic nomination he will have practi-
cally but two competitors, Senator
Bayard and Gen. Hancock. AS against
the former, he considers his own
chances pretty secure, believing him
self equally popular with Bayard i'll
the east, and far st onger in the west,
but he has some apprehension that
Hancock, O non~committal compromise
man, may carry off the nomination. At
the same time he thinks that no demo
cratic candidate with neutral or doubt
full views ould have any show before
the people, and would lose heavily
both east and west.
