What killed Memphis.

The causes which led to the repeal of
the charter of the city OF Memphis, Tenn,
by the Legislature, providing for its local
government simply as a taxing district.
followed by the resignation of the Council
and other city officers, is thus described
by the EUenlng Journal:
Her bonded municipal debt had reached
the enormous sum of $4,000, 900.
The city had paid until her taxes have
now reached So IS on 800 of taxable pro
perty; back taxes amounting to 1000 900
now due, with total inability of collect The
continuance the charter would have forced
the city to pay mandamus assessment
OF $4,000 this year, and In few years
more per cent. of all the taxable values
would have been paid. In once case four
leVies of madamus writs from the United
States Circuit Court had been made, and
the fifth was ordered only few days ago.
These five mandamuses were made 10 col
lest one dept of $4,000. Ia the face of
the fact that uncollected levies amount to
$4l6,000, the system Of collecting taxes
was SO defective, that prompt taxpayers
had to pay over and over again for the de-
inquents. The stocks of merchants could
be levied on and sold. Home creditors
were more importunate than foreign. AL

Yellow fever reduced the population one

the scourge amounted to SO 100000. AL
most the entire bonded debt was created
while the people was disfranchised, aud the
