WASHINGTON, January 3.-The iol-
lowing is an extract from the message
of Governor Robertson, of New York
"rhere can be but one permanent and
eflectual remedy, and that is to return
| ns speedily as posslblo TO the condition
of things that existed before the road
to ruin was entered upon; by means
of n return to specie payment, a sound
and stable currency, and the reduction
of the tariff to n strictly revenue stand
ard. In view OF the discussions going
on in the congress of the United States,
1t seems proper for me to remind you
and our people that whatever may
happen elsewhere, specie payments
are, under existing law, to BIO resumed
in this state from and after the fret OF
January next. All our taxes, general
and local, including canal tolls, will
next year have to be paid In gold or
its equivalent, and the courts will be
obliged to enforce private contracts in
coin. trust there will be wisdom
enough at Washington to avoid hind
eriug our present hopeful progress to-
wards specie payments, and that the
laws of the general government and
those of our own state on this subject
will continue to be az they are-iu har-
mony.

hnoxv1lle Tribune, March 18th.
At the eastern end difficulties have
sprung up in regard to the location OF
the eastern terminus. Marshal, Texas,
is at present the eastern terminus, but
the bill provides what appears to be an
equitable mode of settling the matter.
This is clearly enough pointed out in the
report of the senate committee. We
have ever been, and still are, in favor OF
Memphis as the eastern terminal. It is,
by all odds, the best point from which to
accommodate the commerce of the sec.
ton designed to be benefited, and it's
designation in the bill as the extreme
northern point on the Mississippi at
which the terminus shall be located,
would seem to indicate that the authors
OF the bill we're looking to such a con.
%elusion. We would much prefer to see
Memphis inserted in the bill as the east.
ern terminus, unless by so doing the
whole enterprise would be imperilled
We think, however, in view of the mat
ters required by the bill to be considered
by the commissioners in making the 10.
cation, the chances of Memphis are
largely predominant. We admire the
enthusiasm now manifested by our
friends Of the Bluff City ia their efforts
to secure the prize Of the eastern termi.
nus, but trust they will not expend it all
at present-st least that they will not go
to the extent of saying they will have o
Memphis bill or none. Should the pres.
ent bill psss-and it is more likely to
pass than any that can be devised-then
Memphis will have stronger claims and
better backing than any Of her compel
itors. All the country northwest of her
including Tennessee, Virginia, Ken.
lucky and North Carolina--will become
her champion, while that to the south and
southeast will be equally enthusiastic in
her behalf. She is the natural gateway
through which the commerce and travel
of the Pacific should pass to the South
and South Atlantic, and we do not be-
lieve the weighty and preponderating
considerations in favor Of Memphis will
be %disregarded by an impartial commits
sion. The grand point is to secure the
construction Of the main trunk line from
San Diego to the Mississippi. This may
be accomplished. But disputings at this
juncture over the location of the eastern
terminus will lead to confusion and de.
feat. Let us gain the main prize and
then arrange details.

We take pleasure in calling attention

firm are live young men who have come
to the front in their line by enterprise,
attention to business, courtesy to the
public and fair dealing. Their location
is IN the heart Of the city. and their
facilities the very best. The success OF
the firm in so short a time has been al.
most unexampled. From a quiet begin
ming up town they moved down to the
l%iveliest part Of Main street, neal Madi
son, and have for months run as com.
plete and attractive an establishment as
can be found in most large cities. They
have on hand a complete stock in the
various lines Of staple and fancy gre.
ceries and continue to sell at the lowest
figures. Their enterprise is appreciated
by the community, as it deserves. Their
business is steadily increasing ard they
solicit the continued favor Of the public.
