meeting of adjutants from all the States
WAS held ut New York on the seventeenth o
January ultimo, for the purpose OF petition
Ing Congress TO appropriate si,00O.O00 for the
reorganization and maintenance Of militias
in the States OF the Union. After q session Oh
two days the conference framed bill. which
was introduced Into Congress by Senator
Ferry, Of Michigan. The bill did not pass
owing 10 the press Of important matters be-
fore that body, but 1t received favorable
notice. and stands good chance OF passing
during the extra session.
SECTION Ii or THE BILL
provide for the annual appropriation OF ell
900. 900 TO furnish arms, ammunition and other
ordnance and 1uartermaster's stores for the
active militia Of the several States. Such
appropriation shall be apportioped among
the several States and Territories In proper
ton to the number Of their regularly or
garlizsd and uniformed militia In the service
on the first day Of December
Since the holding Of the above meeting and
the results of the labors Of the conference,
the people have become interested In all mat
ters touching militia organization.

All About the khediye.
LONDON, April S.-The Times'S dispatch
from Alexandria states that it is reported the
khedve has acted with the consent of Tur-
key. The Times, edjtoually, says that there
need be little apprehension Of hasty meas
ures. Negotiations between France and
England are already opened; but before this
can lead TO anything more than vigorous
remonstrance with the khedlve, parlia-
ment will have reassembled. IL IS
not improbable that the French cab
met, under the influence OF strong
national feeling and pressure of financial in
terest, may propose JOINT measures of coer-
sion. Such policy is one which the British
government would be reluctant to accept
without the gravest reasons.
There is much excitement in Paris regard
ing TIE acts of the khedive. A correspond
ent believes that there is q probability Of the
ultimatum of giving the khedive the option
of advocating in favor of his son or of being
replaced by Hahn. These views are proba-
bly, exaggerated, as the English newspapers,
supposed to speak by authority, indicate that
England is not prepared to participate in
hasty action, but prefers first to try remon-
strances, trusting to the khedive's fear that
the Porte may be influenced to revoke the fir
mans in his favor

To EXTEND tie commerce and secure the
prosperity Of Memphis bY placing the bases
n which prosperity must be founded upon
broader foundations than al. present, we must
rely especially on two things-one is to build
Up manufactures, and the other to secure a
di7ersifcation of our mercantile industries
A chance in the latter direction has been
opened for us in the new business of export
}ng cattle to Europe ria New Orleans. Only
a month has passed since the first shipment
Of one hundred head was made, and already
q line of steamers has been put il the trade
The New Orleans Price Current states that
The two British cattle-dealer5, who were en-
g0ged in the first venture, had come out by
tue same vessel, and, during her stay in port,
lucky, and ship their cattle on her return
voyage. Itnow appears that these stock. dealers
we're only few weeks in advance Of the
e.. Adjustment of a regular line Of steamers
fer the transportation of live stock from our
port to Liverpool, and that it will commence
operations under the most favorable
auspices" Our stock and cattle-dealers
should take advantage of this new channel
to extend their trade and build up a market
here that shall save the British dealer the
necessity ct going to Kentucky or Missouri.
In this connection 1t is worth mention that
the existence of a railroad between this city
and Kansas City would definitely decide this
matter in our favor, and insure us perhaps
pIIlions.
