The situation in New York over the
vacant senatoFships was no nearer solution
at last accounts than . week ago. The
anti Conklingitcs refuse to 90 into caucus,
and the Democrats viii enter into no ar.
rangement that will not give them one
Senator. Messrs. Conk ling, Platt and
Vice-PresiIent Arthur are at Albany, but
so far have not been able to justify their
course to the satisfaction of large num-
Der of Republican members Of the Legs
ture. This activity of the New York
Senators bears out the opinion that they
had no idea of leaving public life when
they resigned.

EYE BALI, BIMl
Another One OF the Hayes in
Trouble.

A rather strange proceeding took
place this morning on DeSOto street,
where one of the coolest crimes Of the
heated term was committed. About
z o'clock Albert Mccoy, a darby, was
noticed to stop in front Of little brick
dwelling on the corner of the alley
between Union and Monroe, and make
himself comfortable with his elbow
on the gate post. A few moments
later another darby, Horace Hayes,
stepped out Of the door, but his foot
hardly touched the ground when Nc
Coy, quickly drawing a revolver, took
aim and pulled the trigger, turning at
once and walking quietly away. At
the crack of the cartridge Hayes fell
to the ground, and when picked up it
was discovered that the ball had pen.
etrated the right corner Of his left
eye, passing behind it and lodged in
the bone near the left temple. One
remarkable circumstance was that the
ball itself was uniniured, and still re-
tanned its powers of sight, though it
will probably go out before the day is
over on account Of the warm weather.
Mccoy, who lives on Wellington
street, has not yet been captured. The
origin of the difficulty is not known.

Will Memphis Ever Have a Cot.
ton Mill.

Boston capitalists have offered the
people of Memphis $250,OOO with
which to erect a cotton mill, provided
they raise another $250,000, making a
total of $780, 00. If the merchants
and capitalists of the Bluff City do
not accept this proposition, we shall
lose all hope for the future prosperity
Of Memphis. Mississippi feels kindly
toward Memphis and. her merchants,
and she dislikes to see them standing
in their own light. Up with the
mill now or nevermOre Grenada
Sentinel.
So we think. Memphis is the nat
ural market for both Grenada and
Holly Springs, and We therefore de-
sire to see that city built up. 1t is
not in Mississippi, but we have just
as much interest in it as if it was.
This proposition, carried into effect,
will itself add a thousand to its popu-
lation the first year, and the spirit Of
enterprises once engendered will
double its population within ten
more. Times may be hard and money
scarce; but there is moneyed capital
enough in every one of our southern
cities and towns now in use for specu-
lative purposes to give a hundred per
cent, additional to their numbers
and wealth within a very brief time,
if It is only used in manufactures as
can be done with safety and certainty.
Let legislation encourage the invest
ment, and then We may hope short
sightedness and individual greed will
no longer obstruct progress. Immense
fortunes have been made in the north
BY manufacturing, and it is Fortunate
ly beginning to be understood that
the greatest net profits from cotton
manufacture are to be found where
cotton is grown.-[HOlly Springs

The Late Mrs. M. A. YOungbIOOd.
Brief mention was made, a few days
ago, in these columns Of the death of
Mrs. NJ. A. Youngblood and her burial
at Elmwood cemetery. She died at
Bay St. Louis. Mississippi, on the
ninth of this month, after a lingering
illness of consumption. Deceased was
in her thirty-third year. She was
born in Marshall county, Mississippi,
and was a daughter of DR.. R. L. Tag
CART, well remembered by many of
our older citizens as a resident of this
city for a number of years. He was
appointed by the board of health,
health physician for the Eighth ward
during the cholera epidemic of 1866,
and died of the disease contracted in
the discharge of his duty. Her
mother, who died a few years ago, was
known not only in Mississippi but
in Memphis as an accomplish
ed and successful teacher
music. Mrs. Youngblood was
a niece of Rev. Jos. Cottrell, of Bow
/ ling Green, Kentucky, and several
other prominent ministers of the
Methodist church. When quite
young she held an important position
in the State Female college. In 1867
she married Captain j. W. Young
blood, the well known Journalist, and
removed with him to Senatobia, where
she conducted a high school success
fully for twelve years. Last January
she went south with the hope Of ben
citing her failing health, but an in
SidiOui disease had already made too
great an inroad upon her naturally
delicate constitution. She de-
clined in strength until she died, last
Thursday, as above stated. Hei remains
were brought to this city by her hus-
band and followed TO the grave by
loving friends. She was a woman Of
the best qualities of heart and mind,
was a true Christian and is sincerely
mourned by all who knew her. TIC
the bereaved husband and mourning
members Of her family we would ten
der sincere coincidence. She rests
free from all pain and her gentle spirit
has flown to that realm Of peace and
happiness where the shadows and sor.
rows of this world can never enter.

Bradley for telling of it, considering
that Sessions was his neighbor, and
that Bradley was no pink Of perfec
