Ma,,h 1871

For the week ending to-day traffic and trade
has been satisfactory, and for the month COM
pared with January highly so. The winter Is
dead and gone, spring has come, and all
nature beginning to look fresh and green. No
rain has fallen, the temperature has boen most
deiightfui, and eyerybody In town and coun-
try hard at work and trying TO regain, 10
some extent, the many days, weeks and
months lst since beptomber. AS
general pl opositon we do more work In Texas
In the w,nter months than summer. This
time we did not, and must buckle down and
try to catch up.
Trade, inspired by o genial sun and warm
atmosphere, has moved along during tue week
without bulk or hindrance, ond sales have
footed up far greater than for any correspond
ing period in perhaps two montas. The re-
ceipts of cotton have averaged over 100 bales
per day. That OF North Texas grain and hay
all the market could take. But In minor or
table supplies the receipts have been far below
the demand. Thcy are not In the country

What could have called the people
Of Tennessee away from their parched
up and ruined crops to give public
expression to their indignation, but
the knowledge that q great wrong
was about to be put upon them? What
does this uprising all over the State
portend? We say to all lobbyists and
corruptionists; to all bride givers and
their apologists and accessories, either
before or after the fact, beware of the
coming storm.
1t has been said that but a single
member who voted for the funding
act Of 1870 ever got back. 1t is not
probable that those who voted for the
funding act last winter will fare bet.

writing on the wall, few will try it.
They may be kept, however, in reserve.
to pack future conventions with,
should occasion require it.
We see from our exchanges that the
masses are still meeting to give voice
TO their Indignation. This is right.
The voice Of the people is mighty and
must prevail over cliques, rings and
.obbies, and woe to the legislature or
,Ourt that does defy it. It is written
the constitution that all power is
Inherent With the people, and all free
governments are founded on their
.uthority and instituted for their

then did not, to outsiders appear justi-

one Of the last dreadful days at Elbe-

wife was present. Hetried to conceal
his agony from her, but she observed
he was suffering and asked: "What

even after all hope Of recovery had
gone from him. Talking on the last
day with Colonel Rockwell, knowing
his end wasnear, and wondering in his
manly humanity whether he had done
enough to be remembered, he said
Rockwell, l fully realize my situa.

said with pathetic intensity

before the flight to Elberon he knew
that he would not live, and yet he
heartened and cheered every ont

domitable courage. But he did no
attempt to deceive himself. When
on one occasion, he was wheeled OF
his bed from his own room across thu

SOUTHERN POSSIBILITIES.
How They Are Regarded by Mr.,
john ii. InmRn, OF
York.
Atlanta oonstitution.l

Atlanta Constitution.l
Mr.. John Inman, of New York,
reached Atlanta on Friday evening.
Mr.. Inman is the head Of the firm
Of Inman, Swami & Co., and is one of
the loading fnanciers of this country.
Although a yonng man, there are on
ly two or three men in New York who
command more capital than he.
Counting his own wealth we'll up into
millions, he has the thorough conf
dence of capitalists all through the
county, and his sagacity and success
strengthen him year after year. He
has lately invested heavily in Southern
property, and is now prospecting with
a view of making other investments.
A representative of the Constitution
called on Mr.. Inman yesterday and
asked his views on the outlook, which
he modestly offered to give. In re-
Spouse to an inquiry as to what he
thought of the prospects ofthe South
he said:
ut is my opinion that the whole
country will develop very rapidly
within the next ten years. The i'm
mense amounts of capital in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, as
well as throughout the smaller cities
of the North and East uninvested or
in use at low rates will inevitably seek
investment in sections of the country
that are yet undeveloped and not sup
piled with capital. There is little to
do in the way Of development in New
England, and capital looking for in
vestment must seek the West or South.
The West has already been occupied.
SO to speak, the best point having been
taken, and the promising project car
ried out. The South, on the other
hand, devasted by the war, has suf-
fered ever since for the lack of CAPT
tai. There has scarcely been enough
to rehabilitate the farms and carry on
the current business Of tl!is section
When attempts were made to develop
great properties there was such a lack
ofcapital that bankruptcy was usually
the result. There were many fne
properties forced to sale and others
that lay idle for the lack of money to
push them with. With every condi-
ton more favorable than the West it
has happened, therefore, that the
South has languished while the West
has teemed with activity. At length,
however, capital, which is as keen
eyed as it is cautious, is finding the
good things that offers in the South,
and there will be no trouble there

decessors, carved his way to eminence,
the frmer am | Of the belief that his
aim, while President, will be for the
universal welfare Of the nation. And
even if he should counsel with Hon.
Roscoe Conkling, | believe that gem
tleman would advise nothing detri-
mental to the general good. It makes
no difference that he differs from
others in politics, he loves his coun-
try, and if he is a hard headed stall
wart Republican, he is entitled to his
views. This is a free country, and
every man is entitled to interpret pub
lie policy and polity to suit himself.
Then, j say, give President Arthur a
fair and impartial trial. If be wants
to change his Cabinet, that is his pre-
rogative, just as it is the prerogative
of the Democratic majority in the
United States Senate to elect one Of
their number President pro tempore
Of that body. This is a big county,
and a great people, and there is hon
esty and intelligence enough left to
overwhelm the sectional rawlings OF
venal and characterless politicians.
President Garfield is in H~eaven-but
the country still lives.
Chicago is to have another High
School edi6ce on the South Side. The
lot cost $3l,4l6, and is 157 by lSl
feet.
Billy Crannell, Of Chicago, an alec.
holic bully, is a total wreck to his
family. About a half ounce of lead and
a few grains of powderdid it. The little
gun was in the hands of an inoffensive
person nsmed j. II. Monroe, whom he
forced into a fight. Pity Sergeant
Mason did not make such a good shot,
Weather very fine. NAYR.

was tackled in front ofthe old Metro
politan Theater by a wirylittle woman,
who addressed him as William" and
said it would be an excellent thing for
his constitution to clinch on to her
arm and go home. William declared
in reply, with a great deal Of empha-
sis, that he didn't have to 60 home,
and consequently wouldn't go. The
wiry little woman, upon hearing this
announcement, made a break at Will
liam with her parasol uplifted in such
a threatening manner that he turned
rapidly around on his heels, awoke
from his seeming lethargy, as it we're,
and hustled out Third street at the
rate of about forty knots an hour.
The little woman bounded out in pur-
suit, and the chase created quite a
sensation along the route. Before
Walnut was reached, however, Will
liam, who had gone away with a great
deal the best Of the start, led by if
teen OF twenty lengths, and the little
woman in the rear concluded to give
up the chase, allowing the big gelding
in front to pace on out Third street
and clear out of range. A Courier
Journal reporter caught up with the
lady just as she was boarding a Second
street car, and obtained from her a
meager statement. She said that the
fugitive male person was her husband,
VIM. Marshall. and that she had, vul-
carly speaking, tackled him because
he had refused to come home and sup
port her. She recently came to this
city with her husband from Memphis,
and has since lived with him on JEFF
ferson street, between Nineteenth and
Twentieth. She says he kept a sa-
loon and grocery in Memphis, and
there provided decently for his family.
Since coming to Louisville, however,
he has done nothing for them. If this
be the case William ought to take the
bit between his teeth and run clear
out of town.
