MEMPHIS, December "a, 1878.

N N 49,
Matters are quiet among our banks and
money dealers. Gold continues at par
with ~greenbacks, the same as it has ruled
for a week past, and specie resumption is
an accomplished fact. Those who handle
money in the largest sums appear indiffer-
ent as to the kind they use, so that it is
good money and convenient to convey
from point to point; hence g~reenbacks
and national bank notes are now more
popular than coin. The national treasury
is provided with nearly $~l80,0O0,00 in
gold and silver coin, all snugly stored in
convenient vaults, with which to COM
mencs specie payments on the beginning
of the coming year. Close to $20,0O0,OOO
of this is silver coin, chiefly the new dol
lar, and this dollar in the London market,
according to the present price of silver
bullion, viz, 49Kd per ounce, would not
pass for more than 84c. 1t is, however, in
favor h~ereabouts; in fact the supply is
8 Just now rather short.
The movement in Eastrnn exchange
will receive fresh impetus this week.
The weather is more favorable to the
handling Of cotton and increased ship
ments are promised. 1t has been slow
work during the recent bad weather. A
number of the sheds are SO overstockeC
that it is tardy and laborious to get lot
properly together for movement. Elk
change rates are steady, as heretofore
Cotton bills on New York and Boston.
without grace, are taken at q discoun
and with grace II discount. Checks OF
d, New York are sold at par. On New Or
/, leans rates are par selling and 4 discoun
buying.
s Local securities are not in public favo
at present, especially city bonds, pawn
q or police and fremen's scrip, etc. Dealer
report that there is no demand whatevG
and figures for all are merely nomina
Gas stock and bonds offer for sale, but Il
bids are announced. Insurance stocks al

NeneraI Trade.

The dry, cold weather for the past two
days has stimulated prices in the produce
and feed markets, improved streets and
roads and caused greater activity among
cotton-shippers. Our retail trade con-
tinues lively, and Che Wholesale market is
also active in every line. Freights from
st. Louis by rail to Cairo, thence here by
river, remain at $40 per cwt, and from the
lower Ohio loo per cwt.
The steamer Gaff arrived this forenoon
with a slim list Of feed and produce.

CAPT. CHARLES Ii. GALLAGHER, is
member of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, in good standing, and We believe
Sabbath school laborer; if he is not now
he was not long since a superintendent.
We are not certain about that. But as to
qualifications for the Mayoralty he is
quite equal to either of his Republican
competitors and in some things their
superior; and hence Mr.. Frazer need not
be offended at being classed with Gala
CHER. If Gallagher has ever committed
any public wrong We have not heard of
it. He did, to be sure, once put a fellow
in the gutter that had been abusing
him; but as the Court only fined him ST.
for it, the offence was considered very
trihing. We certainly do not approve 0
such actions; and raised our voice agains
it at the time. But the current of ap
proyal seemed to run against us. Ifth
Captain is nominated we shall beat hin
if we can; but we shall not attempt to d
it by assaulting his character.

important that the able and experienced

TO lind that in some of the Southern
States some of the best members of the
present House are meeting with OPPOSE
ton. The South, TO regain its ancient
power, must keep to its really-tirst class
men in Congress. Georgia is specially
favored in its present representation -
We do not think one of the members can
be spared espec. ally men like Harris Cox

is something remarkable. This is seen IN
comparison of the recently published
Parliamentary return of the values as
sessed to the income tax for 1857 with
that of 1S64-5. The increase from all
sources is from $3.50, $50, ,729 to f490, 3D.
g06 and il is most ma, ked the assessments
on employments and industrial estab-
lishments and appliances. AT the same
time there has been considerable eX-
tension of exemptions and abatements,sc
that the increase of actual incomes must
be considerably greater than that of the
assessments. which is nearly 80 per cent
in twelve years.
