When it is said that business is dull in
banking circles there is no exaggeration
in it; and with the political status and
tie almost certainty of the passage by
the State senate Of the bill repeating the
conventional interest law and making 6
per cent. legal, we may expect nothing
bat dullness and inactivity in that quar-.
ter, for capitalists can and will 6nd bet
ter fields for investment and speculation
than in Tennessee. Money, like bacon,
cotton, or anything else, is worth just
what it will bring, and the sooner would.
be h%nanciers learn it, the better for all.
Exchange is in abundant supply at un-
changed rates, as follows: New York
commercial bills, buying at par; South
ere sight, &c discount and selling at @c
premium; Eastern sight, &c discount and
selling at 4c premium; New Orleans
buying at 4c and selling at par.
Money on the streets is in ample
supply at l!@21 q cent . month. New
York gold rates are lO4g; here brokers
are paying lO42@lO5. Local stocks,

Commissioners of Inn

We beg leave to remind the members
of the Legislature that the present Com
missioner of Immigration was elected on
the 18th of April, 1873, in pursuance OF
law, for the term of four years. Conse.
quently his term of Office will soon ex-
pire, and lift is the intention of the
Legislature to elect his successor and to
provide means for the performance of
the duties of the office after his functions
commence, it is time the subject was re-
ceiving attention. Article u, section
% of the Constitution provides that
&C there shall be Commissioner of I'm
" migration and Agriculture who shall
"be elected by the Legislature on joint
"ballot, who shall hold his Office for the
{" term of four years" At the last SEES
sion in consequence of the incompetency
of the present incumbent, his compen-
sation was reduced to nominal sum.
As his term is about expiring, it is for

From the Capital
The painful and distressing intelli-
gence reached Jackson Yesterday of the
death of the Hon WILLIAM Il. Banks
DALE, late Representative from Grenada
county in the Lower House. Some one
better fitted and more able than ourselves
will discharge the mournful task of pro-
nouncing his eulogy and of writing pro-
per tribute to his memory. We mourn
with those so cruelty bereft and mingle
our tears with those which fall on the
grave of friend of other days-an old
companion in arms. Day by day the
honored sons of Mississippi are being
gathered to their Fathers. They are
leaving their State when she needs their
counsels most, but we reverently trust
that in the infinite mercy and wisdom OF
Omnipotence, they are being gathered
Monochrome to the mansions not made
with hands-aternal in the heaI ems.
When the editor of the Capital first
knew WILL BARKsDALE, he was Adju-
tant- General of Featherstone's Brigade,
and better or drawer soldier never rode
down the red valley of danger, or faced
with unquiling heart death in its most
appalling forms. From the Seven Days
fights around Richmond to the bloody
field of Sharpsburg, he rode at the head
of the dauntless Mississippi Brigade, and
after the disastrous defeat of BURNSIDE
at Fredericksburg he accompanied his
leader to his new field of labor in the
West, to which he had been transferred.
Through the varying fortunes of the war,
BARKsDALE was true as steel to the va
rying fortunes Of the Confederate cause,
and when its star went down, accepted in
good faith the stern and memorable logic
of events, and in the gentler walks of
peace, he was as brave, as honest and as
useful as when he barred his bosom to the
storms of battle and fought for what he
deemed the right But he is gone, and
soon all thati is mortal of the heroic and
| lion hearted BARKsDALE will rest in
mother earth. Winter will wrap his
grave in its winding sheet of white and
summer deck it with It's fairest flowers,
but beyond the winters SHOWS and sum
mer's flowers, the gallant soldier and the
honest citizen is at rest in the bosom OF
his Father and his God. Death is robbed
of its sting-the grave of its victory,
when men like BARKsDALE pass from
the scenes of earth away. Illustrating in
their lives all those exalted qualities
which can adorn a man, we know that as
the Lord is just, they are gone to receive
their reward.
