MEMPHIS, July l9.-Napoleon Bona
parte, colored, was hanged in Sardis,
Miss, yesterday, for the murder OF
Tom Butler, colored, committed on the

was right that he should be punished.

asked that a handkerchief might be
placed in his hand and he would give

DECLINE IN WHEAT.
Excitement lin Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 19.-There has been
considerable excitement during the past
week in consequence OF the rapid and
unchecked decline OF grain and prOvi-
sions on Change. The favorable crop
reports, and the rumors that the combi-
nation which has held wheat up for n
few months past were selling out, and
the expected outbreak of fever in the
Southern cities, have combined to de
press the prices. The decline in cash
wheat has amounted to about fourteen
cents during the week, the lowest sales
being to-day, when on call wheat sold
for July option at Sole. There were Tu-
mors of a failure, but so far as known
there were only temporary embarIass-
mcnts, and all the firms interested are
expected TO continue business Monday.
The clearings were larger by million
and half to-day than usual on account
of the heavy deliveries OF wheat made
by the combination. The total deliveries
made by them were 100000 bushels
here and 100000 bushels in Milwaukee.
1t is understood that they are rapidly
getting out OF the deal, and the culmina-
ton OF the break Will come Monday, il
IL has not already been reached.

WASHINGTON.
Awaiting an Opportunity.

WASHINGTON, July l9.-On Monday
next the interest ceases on the last and
final call of ten-forty United States
bonds, and the refunding operations OF
the Treasury are at an end until 1881,
when the new fives fall due, as well as
the skies of 1881. Notwithstanding this
fact the National Banks, which have
this class of bonds deposited with the
United States Treasurer to secure their
bank-note circulation, come forward
very slowly to take out the ten-iorty
bonds and replace them with the Tour
per cents. The reason OF it is this: The
powerful syndicate which controls the
four per cent. bonds, anticipating that
the banks would exchange the ten-ior-
ties for four per cents when the interest
on the former securities ceased, have run
up the four per cent. bond to premium
OF two per cent. The National Bank
view of the case evidently is that II they
do not lift for the present, the ten-iorty
bonds, even though they remain idle IN
the treasury, anon-interest bearing secu-
rtv, that the price OF the fOurs will fall
any way to par, and that by gradually
lifting the ten-fOrties they will be en-
abled to effect the exchange OF their
securities without paying the exact
ed premium. Again, most OF the
Western National banks can make
more money out of their circulation
than they can out of the interest on
bonds, and hence promise that so long
as they can they will let their ten
forties remain where they are, for the
reason that while they can get no in-l
terest on their bonds in a direct way,
they can make good interest out OF
their circulating notas, for which the
bonds stsnd as security. For that
reason over Sl2,OO0,0O0 remain in the
treasury in the shape OF bonds repre-
senting eighty per cent. of that amount
in bank note circulation, and will prob
ably remain so long as it is more profit
able TO the banks to let them remain
rather than exchange them.

ST. LOUIS.
Closing of the Negro Refuge.

ST. LOUIS, July o0-Several weeks ago
the President of the Western Sanitary
Commission, James T.. leatman, un-
dertoOk the temporary relief of negro
refugees arriving here from the South
The old Eagle foundry near the landing
was fitted up with hunks and cooking
facilities, and those who came from be-
low found haven until such time as
they could get away 10 Kansas, or find
houses in and about II. Louis. Last
evening this refuge was closed. There
were about hundred refugees still
stopping there, and they moved their
baggage 10 the levee and camped for
the night. To-day these and hundred
more who came up on the City OF Alton,
left on the Kinney for Kansas. Later
the Grand Tower arrived with
a party from Balivar, Miss. There
was no place provided for them.
They are camped on the wharf.
Mr.. Yeatman says the closing
Of the Refuge was necessitated
by the failing of funds. He undertook
the work thinking the exodus would be
of short duration, and that those who
did come could be relieved at compara-
lively small expense. 1t was purely a
work of philanthropy with him. Instead
of falling off, he say the exodus
continues as strong as ever. and that
there is no prospect OF its stopping He
has expended over 5000 in simply Civ
ing temporary relief; he has no more
means at hand To continue the work and
has appealed to the city authorities in
vain. He says an effort will be made to
inform the negroes in the South who
may be contemplating emigrting that
they must not expect any help IN It.
