The GENITAL system, adopted in England and
California, and sanctioned by cur own con-
gress, requires that produce, instead of being
measured by the bushel or the barrel, shall
be weighed by the one hundred pounds, that
amount constituting a Genital. From this a
half, quarter or eighth Genital is easily de-
rived. The New York chamber of commerce
formally adopted the GENITAL system a few
days ago, and it is to 60 into effect on day
t. be named by the managers. The potato
growers in this neighborhood are very prop
erly In arms against the 'barrel"-the un-
known quantity-system. They will do right
to sustain the GENITAL system. By that system
their deliveries will be weighed, and their
pay will be in exact proportion to what they
deliver. By the system of measuring in bar
rels of different sizes, they never know what
their crop will bring, or how much they are
taking to market IN their wagons. Let them
sell by the hundred weighed pounds, which
is the GENITAL, and they will gain the value of
their product, and the buyer viii lose MOTH
ing, for if he buy by the GENITAL, he will sell
by the GENITAL, and there will be evenhanded

Boston, May GA horrible child MUIR
der mas just come to light in the neighbor-
hood of the never discovered trunk tragedy,
on Sunday, with every appearance of death
by strangulation. Late last night John N.
Buzz9ll, a Lynn man, free-lover and rover,
was arrested for the murder, and to-day
young and very modest-looking woman
named Carrie Porter, of Peabody, a member
of the Baptist church, was arrested, and she
confessed she was the mother, and that the
child was strangled to get rid of it. Her
story is a shocking one. When she found
she was to become mother, she tried to in
duce Buzzell to marry her, but he squirmed
out of it. The child was born MAY 9th, in
Chelsea, and, last Saturday evening, Buzzell
took the mother and child for drive in
buggy. They offered the baby to two people
they met, and after some talk of leaving it
on some door step, Buzzell proposed 1t should
be strangled, and ordered the woman to
stick her finger down its throat and choke 1t
to death. She could not do this, and the
father took the child, while the mother put
her shawl over her eyes so that she should
not witness the deed, and, in a minute or
two, the business was soon done, and the
body was thrown out. The woman was or
dered from the carriage soon afterward, and
tainted once or twice on her long walk home.
Her weakness in the public streets and the
peculiarly OF foot of the horse led to the
identification and arrests.

the week ending on the seventeeth instant,
there were eight deaths from this disease, and
twenty from smallpox At Santos the Bel

THURSDAY, ; MAY 20, 1879.
UNITED STATES BOARD OFTRADE.

We have received from the secretary of the
United States board of trade, official notice
that the annual meeting of the board will be
held on Wednesday, June 18th, in New York.
There will be an election for president and
other officers. Governors, mayors, boards of
trade, exchanges, and agricultural associa-
tons have been invited to send delegates.
The general business includes the considera-
ton of harbor and canal questions, govern
ment connection with railroads, international
laws and exhibitions, coinage, commercial
treaties, import duties, American shipping,
labor statistics, industrial population, trade
marks, patent laws, the GENITAL system, min
ing, insolvency, and national currency, gov
eminent savings banks and other important
questions. The projected worlds fair at New
York in 1883. will also be an interesting sub
iect of consideration. This convention IS a
matter deserving the attention of our BUSH
ness men, for we cannot afford to allow Mem
phis to De behind in such an enterprise
as the assembling in convention OF represen-
tatiyes from everywhere else in the Union.

have escaped. Notwithstanding this, New
Orleans maintains SO rigid quarantine that
communication by steamer with that port
has been entirely suspended. From helNew
York Times, of Sunday, we learn that in
consequence of long delays and other annoy
ances caused by the strict quarantine rules
recently adopted at the port of New Orleans,
the New York, Havana and Mexican mail
steamship line, owned by +. Alexander &
Sons, has found it expedIent to temporarily dis
continue the operations OF It's branch line from
New Orleans to Vera Cruz. This change will,
while the yellow-fever season lasts, result In
causing the stoppage of the freight and pas
senger traffic between New Orleans and Vera
Cruz and the intermediate ports, and will
make it necessary to send all Mexican CORE
spondence via Havana. f. Alexander &
Sons have three steamships plying between
New York and Vera Cruz, stopping at Havana
and touching at the other intermediate ports

the withdrawal of the branch line
steamer, all communication of the company
with New Orleans has been cut off, and the
operations of the branch line between that
port, Vera Cruz and the intermediate stations
are practically discontinued. The freight
traffic of the line has always been large and
profitable, and the passengers have been al
most as numerous as on the main line. At
the office of the company on Saturday last
it was stated that the City Of Mexico had
ceased running on May 14th, and would not
probably resume her regular trips before next
October. Now, if the New Orleans board of

he has never failed, when occasion required,
to denounce it as a campaign lie. The true
speech has been scattered broadcast over the
United States, over one hundred thousand
copies of it having been sold by Mr.. Steph-
enss publisher in New England and New
York alone. The editor of the New York
Sun still believes or pretends to believe in the
forgery This morning he descended into
gross personalities and called Mr.. Stephens
opprobrious names, 'two-sided, double-deal-
ing, shallow-hearted, hollow man, and much
of such gibberlsh. If Mr.. Dana thinks the
proved and repudiated forgery, whose author
should be in the penitentiary, is any justin.
cation for his assaults upon one of the purest
and ablest men in America, he will not find
any fair minded men to agree with him.
Consistency is not virtue which the assail-
ant of Mr.. Stephens has ever par ticularly ex-
emplifed. If the congressman saw fit to do
it, ne could make the retort courteous, with
no little effect.

Union City Chronicle: 1.-THE Tilden furore
is not very ardent in Tennessee. The leading
men and papers that supported him so zeal
ously for the nomination in 1875 are either
silent or actively opposed to him for the nomi-
nation in 1880. 1t would be exceedingly diff
ficult to find a man more distasteful to the
people Of this section than Samuel j. Tilden.
They awarded him an unwilling support
once, and we feel tolerably sure they will
never, under any circumstances, give him
their support again. He is not the man for
the times-he has nothing in common with
the people of the south and west, and in his
election they have nothing to hope for. With
his hirelings, tricksters and scurvy methods,
he may succeed in foisting himself upon the
Democracy second time as their national
standard bearer, but the people are done with
him and his paladins. -

New York EUeHiHg ErpreSs: "We do
not know who committed the forgery, but it
is very evident who believes it. In the month
of November, 1860, Alexander H. Stephens
addressed the people OF Georgia In the most
mastery speech of his life. 1t was supreme
appeal for the Union. He pointed out the
lnexpediency, the rashness, the dangers of
secession. He declared that his first allegi-
ance was due to Georgia. and while implor-
ing the people not to make the fearful leap,
he also declared that for veal or woe his des-
tiny was with his native State forged re-

north wherein Mr.. Stephens was made to say
that he denied the right of secession. de-
nounced it as treason, and was not even

was called to 1t, Mr.. Stephens branded this
reported speech as an Infamous forgery, and

Railway Litigation.

PITTsBURG. May 23.-In the United
States circuit court argument in the case of
the New jersey Central railroad company uS
Junction railroad company and Pennsylvania
railroad company are being heard by Judge
MKinnon. The Junction railroad connects
with the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
at Belmont, and with the Baltimore and
Ohio at Grays Ferry. The Baltimore and
Ohio road has proposed to send their cars
over the Junction road to reach New York.
The North Pennsylvania, Delaware and
Boundbrook and Jersey Central railroad
companies propose to do a similar business
over the junction road, but the Pennsyl-
vania road refuse to allow the cars to pass
through their yard, In which a half mile of
the Junction track lies. This action is
brought to restrain the defendants from in

"The Pulvermacher Electric Belt is recon-
nended to general use for the following rea-
sons: First, for It's wonderful properties for
the cure Of diseases of the kidneys, stomach,
liver and blood; secondly, for its extreme
simplicity, and the fact of its being applied
outside, precludes all possibility of any in
jury being done to the patient, as an external
remedy is universally acknowledged to be
safe Another advantage is the facility with
which the progress Of the disease and cure
can be watched, and if the Belt be not quite
in the right place, it can be very easily read
Iusted so as TO cover the parts affected. The
Pulvermacher Electric Belt, and its perfec-
ton, has been hailed with delight. not only
by the sufferers who have regained health,

its benefcent qualities, but by the medical
profession, who very frequently prescribe its
