Memphis-Then ana Now.

just before the war; Memphis had
entered upon o career Of prosperity that
promised a brilliant commercial future,
but the hopes Of her citizens have been
sadly discouraged since and matters
gone on from bad to worse, until now
the city is burdened with debt of six
millions of dollars and the appointment
of receiver asked for by the legislature.
This is probably the best way possible
out of the difficulty, Once upon her
feet again, there Is no reason why
Memphis should not yet become one of
the greatest and most attractive marts
of trade in the country.

Indian war in the Rocky Mountains.
and the. Apaches in Arizona had re-
sumsd their old pastime of scalping
white settlers. is likely to result in a
reduction of the army from $4,000 to
$4,000 men. The fact that so many
troops could be spared from the from.
tier for garrison duty at the national
capital proved to Congress and T. b
country that reduction of the army
could be made without abandoning
the posts on the frontier where troops
were necessary for the protection Of
the settlers. The House Committee
on Appropriations have prepared the
Army Appropriation Bill and agreed
that allits items shall be framed upon
the basis of reduction of the force
from Is, 1000 to %. 900 men. If settlers
on the frontier should hereafter suffer
from Indian depredations in eonse-
quence of the withdrawal of troops
from their respective localities. it will
be owing to the fact that Don Gamer
on, Secretary of War, took pains to
prove to Congress that 5000 troops
could be spared for parade at Wash
ington.

THE LAW SUIT FOR THE PRESI-

The Electoral Commission met in
secret session last evening and decided
te hear further argument on the adj
instability of the evidence submitted
by Democrats in the Louisiana case.
At 4 o'clock, p. m. to day vote will
be taken on the proposition. That vote
will determine whether four men, styl-
lug themselves the Returning Board of
Louisiana. have authority to determine
for the people of Louisiana who their
executive, judicial and legislative off,
GERS shall be, and for the people of the
whole United States who their Presi-
dent shall be. 1t is not pretended that
majority of the qualified voters of
Louisiana voted for the Hayes electors.
The most unscrupulous of the conspir-
ators at Washington willnot make such
On assertion, but it is claimed that
neither Congress nor the Commission
can go behind the certificate of the Re-
turning Board. True, the vote of
Louisiana was not counted four years
ago for he President. though both the
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives were Republican. but it was not
then necessary to elect Grant, Now,
it is required to elect Hayes. and it is
essential to have it counted. If the
Commission decides that evidence to
prove the scoundrelism Of the Return
ing Board. is inadmissible, it virtually
admits that the Board is not RESPONSE
BILE for its acts to any authority in the
United States, and that Wells and his

Court. to Congress and to the whole
