payment of the Congressman in silver as q
measure Of economy.

silver craze must burn itself out like an
oyercharged volcano"

For almost five years the business of the
country has been overshadowed with clouds
of distrust, and our industrial enterprises
have been depressed by an atmosphere
vitiated with insecurity.
From the depths of starvation and
misery, which Affections, it must be Rc-
knowledged, many have suffered, came the
cries for relief We all knew and felt that
there was something wrong. The question
was, however, how the wrong was to be re-
medied. 1t was thought that through legis-
lation we might be released from our tribu-
lGtions.
One of the means advocated was the Sill
yer Bill, which passed over the Presidents
veto on Thursday of last week. Immedi-
ately after the passage of this bill there
was a more buoyaut feeling in financial cir
cles. Even some of those who were opposed
to the measure, now begin to doubt their
own wisdom. Secretary Sherman says he
can see no reason for alarm at the possible
results of the Silver Bill, but seems to take a
cheerful view of the situation. Particularly
in the South and West, where the Silver
Bill received the greatest amount of support
does confidence seem to have been restored,
and at last bright spark of hope sheds its
beams upon us. The restoration of feel
ing of security in the sunny South and the
great West will cause their business men to
invest IN the commodities of trade. These
goods must be purchased in the North and
East, and, consequently, trade in the latter
sections will be revived.
The New York SIN says that Z" the open
ing of Spring has for some days past been
signalized by an unusual rush at the down
town hotels, as well as by increased business
at the leading wholesale and iobbing CEN
tres. Country merchants in large numbers
are arriving daily, and preparing for their
Spring purchases. The early warm
weather, however, has undoubtedly pushed
forward the Spring trade at least fortnight
earlier than usual, and created a considera-
BILE activity in branches Of business which
are usually dormant until the end Of March,
or even later.
At the Astor House the number Of
names registered during the past week ex-
eeeded that Of any similar period for years.
Many who have arrived are Western and
Southern merchants and business men.
They report trade in their respective locali-
ties as good notwithstanding the uniayora-
Bile Winter The prospect of immense
crops and increased business at the South is
considered favorable.
At the Metropolitan Hotel there has
been an increase of at least one-third over
the same period last year.
The registers of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
showed an increase over February of last
year although there has been decrease IN

Benjamin Franklin Wade, who died on
Saturday, March 2, was born in Feeding
Hills Parish, ncarWest Springfield, Hamp-
ton county, Mass, October %, 1900. His
father was Revolutionary soldier, who
fought through the whole war, from Bunker
Hill to Yorktown. His parents were very
poor and his education, which was limited,
was obtained entirely by his own exerlion S
At the age of eighteen years his indomitablo
courage and energy were shown by his start
ing for Illinois, nearly thousand miles, on
foot, to seek his fortune, He reached north
ern Ohio, and passed his first winter there in
telling timber, but afterwards he found en-
ployment first as drover and next as
school teacher. After several years hard
labor of this kind he commenced the study
of the law, and in 1928, at the uge Of %
years, he was admitted to the bar. He held
in succession the various positions of Justice
of the Peace, Prosecuting Attorney for Ash
tabula county, State Senator and President
Judge Of the Third judicial District of Ohio.
In March, 1851, he was chosen United States
Senator from Ohio,and was reelected in 1857
and again in 1868. During his Senatorial
career he served as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories and of the Special Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War, and as q
member of the Committees on Foreign Re
lations and the District of Columbia. On
the meeting Of the Fortictn Congress he was
elected as President Of the Senate pro tcm.
During his incumbcncy of that office the i'm
peachnent trial of Andrew johnson took
place, and if that trial had resulted in con-
victiOn it would have made Mr.. Wade Presi-
dent of the United States. In 1866 Mr..
Wade was a delegate to the Philadelphia
"Loyalists' Convention" and at the Repub-
lican Convention in Chicago, in 1868, he re-
ceiyed large number OF votes for the nom
inaton for Vice President, but on the formal
ballot he was beaten by Schuyler Collax by
n small majority. Since 1869 he has not
held Office, except that he was one Of the
commissioners sent by President Grant to
san Domingo in 1871. lie was Il stern and
uncompromisng Republican, and it has been
said that his fatal illness was caused, or at
least aggravated, by his labors in the last
National Convention of his party, 1876.

"A bill is before the legislature, which
provides that all oysters brought into the
State must be sold within twelve hours from
the time of being opened. The bill, il pass
ed, says the Danyille htcliigcacer, will not
only affect Philadelphia, but tho entire State,
as large quantities of open oysters are ship
ped to this and other places in tubs. They
come direct either from Philadelphia or Bal
timore, and are sold at a very low figure,
enabling many a poor family to partaie of
the bivalves who would virtually be debar-
red of the luxury if this bill were passed.
No doubt the bill has been introduced by
the owners of oyster beds, who dispose Of
shell oysters, and whose business is injured
by the opened oyster rivalry. 1t would be
safe for our representatives to vote against
the bill.

Memphis still Alive.


The Iuka Miss Mirror, of the Dist, has
the following encouraging words for
Memphis
Memphis was looked upon during the
prevalence of the yellow fever as a doomed
city, its great commercial interests des-
troyed beyond all doubt, and preparations
made by some of its competitors to build
up an extensive trade throughout the
lower Mississippi valley. But it seems
the Bluff City has once more arose to its
olden time fame, and is now receiving one
of the largest and most extensive trades it
has ever before controlled. The merchants
along the Memphis and Charleston road
are receiving their supplies from Memphis
and feel that it is a duty they owe to
home industry, capital and enterprise to
once more see the business of the city OF
Memphis in its pristine glory. Our inter
ests are identical with those Of Memphis,
and we can see no reason why goods OF
all descriptions cannot be purchased in
that market to as great advantage as in
more Northern and Eastern markets. As
a cotton market Memphis has become
quite notorious, and there is no doubt but
in the near future, by strict sanitary laws
and a good systemOf sewerage to protect
her people from epidemics, she will become
one among the largest commercial cite:
in the South.

TIPPING LICENSE.
Statement Of Attorney General Turner---
Hard on Refreshment ProprietOrs.

County Court Clerk Owen Dryer, be-
ing in doubt as to whether persons having
tipping license should be charged for the
time for which the taxes were due, or
whether for three months, the shortest
time by law, addressed the following note
to the attorney general;
MEMPHIS, TENN, November p, 1873
G.. p. NJ. Turner, Attorney General, ETC.
Dear Sir: There are parties in this
county who were doing business under
tipping licenses previous to the late cpl
demic, and at the breaking out of the fe-
yer their licenses were due and unpaid.
Now the question is: Can / settle with
those parties for the amount Of tax due by
them from the date of the expiration of
their licenses until they closed their bust
ness, or will | be obliged to cause them TO
take out licenses for three monts-it being
the shortest time for which a license can
be issued, Please instruct me which
course to pursue. Respectfully yours,
OWEN DwYER, Clerk.
In answer to this, Attorney General
Turner sent the following, by which it
will be seen he decides that a three months
license must be issued:
MEMPHIS, November %, 1S7S-Owen
Dwyer, Clerk of the County Court of
Shelby county, Tenn.-Dear Sir Your
communication of this date has been re-
ceived, and l have to say in reply hat |
have carefully examined the questions
presented. l can find nowhere in the law
I where you are vested with the authority
ito settle with those parties for the amount
of taxes due by them from the date Of the
expiration of their licenses until they
closed their business" The shortest time
for which a license can issue is three
months. The law was intended for your
government in the premises, The law is
unrepealed. | know of no way to escape
its provisions. / am, very truly, etc,
