ST. LOUIS.
WarliIke Preparations and No
blood Yet.

ST. Louis, April 28.-In accordance
with orders issued last night four com
panies Of the police reserve regiment,
Colonel Butler commanding, repaired
to the four courts building, in which
are police headquarters, and are now
stationed there in readiness for any
emergency. A company Of light cav
airy, under Lieutenant Halliday, and
Winters battery Of four guns belonging
to the national guard, are also there,
subject to a moments call. Governor
Crittenden arrived early this morning,
and is now in consultation with the
police commissioners. The entire po-
lice force is on duty, also the special
men called into service by the com
missioners. -Four men of the regular
force are stationed ON each corner on
Olive street, from Twelfth street
down to Fourth street, which
is the eastern terminus Of
the Olive street road, and like dis
position of men has been made on
Washington avenue. There are also
squads of mounted police patroling
both streets. At the stables of these
companies in the western part of the
city there is also a large force sta.
toned.
The morning opened cloudy, and
from about eight to half past eight a
brisk shower fell, but at this
writing the day has cleared and the
sun shines warmly. There are no un-
usual crowd on the street, and one
would not think by the general ap-
pearance of things that riot, and
perhaps bloodshed, is in anticipation.
Cars will start from the stables in the
western part of the city at $3.50 am,
and will reach Fourth street, if no
molestation is offered, at about ten
o'clock, John Ford, president Of the
trades assembly, publishes a card
this morning, denying the charge
that the trades unions Of the city
have been managing the strike
of the conductors and drivers. Mau.
rice Guthep, president of the St
Louis typographical union, is also ou
in card denying that John ]. Hogan
who has been very active in the inter
est of the strikers, is an officer in tina
union, as has been stated.

WHEN such a capitalist and rail
road builder as Mr.. Huntington be-
comes interested in Memphis, people
here may take hope for the future.
His power as railroad king is little
second to that of Jay Gould. The
connection he is under pledge to make
between Newport News and Memphis
will hare a influence upon the for
tunes of this city. He is amply able
to carry out the contract, and when
it is done in less than two years,
Memphis will have for the first time
a direct connection with an Atlantic
rort all under one management and at
least not inimical to our welfare. The
building Of depots, warehouses, rail-
way tracks and possibly machine
shops, and an elevator will give en-
ployment 10 many people, and give
a new impetus not only to or
binary trade but to enterprises which
have been dormant or at standstill.
The early completion of the Memphis
& Paducah railroad, which is one Of
the conditions of the contract, will
open the trade of two or three rich
counties to Memphis, which now is in
part gathered by other cities, and when
the entire connection is made it will
open up new and charming route OF
travel to the seaboard. Mr.. Hunting
ton will soon have direct connection
by rail between San Francisco and
Houston, Texas, and it is not likely
that he will stop at gap Of five hun
dred miles in the middle of the conti-
nent which alone will prevent him
from connecting the Atlantic and the
Pacific with iron bands. Memphis,
therefore, at least, and unexpectedly,
has prospect of being great depot
and city on the only real southern
Pacific railroad.

LAST year the Confederate graves
at Elmwood were decorated and ser.
vices partaking of a religious nature
were conducted on Sunday the 10th ol
May. No announcement has been
made for this year, but we presume
that Mrs. Colonel Galloway and other
ladies who generally take the initia.
tive will give notice in time. The
day originally appointed by the patri.
otic ladies of Columbus, Georgia, fol
the observance of this ceremony was
the 26th of April, and that day is
still observed at Columbus, Mobile
and other cities in the gulf states. In
Tennessee, however, flowers are
not in full bloom that early and the
weather is not always mild enough to
permit the attendance of ladies and
children. Hence later day is agreed
upon which varies according to the
conditions of the season.

THE joint committees arranging for
the fair, and the meeting of the Mis-.
sissippi valley planters association, to
be held here on the Oath and 25th Of
May, are preparing letter to-day in
viting President Garfield to be pres
ent. 1t is to be hoped he will accept,
and that his visit will be mutually
pleasant. He would meet here, be-
sides our home people, at least three
hundred representative planters Of
this valley, and having never been
south, he would obtain an insight into
southern methods, wants and senti-
ment not to be learned in congress or
the newspapers. Colonel Casey Young,
who served with General Garfield
years in congress, and who has always
been on pleasant terms with him, is
taking an rctive part in this matter,
and thinks he will be disposed to come.
We hope he may, and can assure him
of most cordial reception at the
hands Of all classes.

EDITORS sometimes have remarka.
BILE memories to draw upon as occasion
may require. For instance, the Pitts
burg Post, speaking of the uuveiling
of the Farragut statue in Washington
last Monday, says:
1t did not attract much attention
although it was in honor of one of the
grandest heroes of the war. President
Garfield made a neat speech, and May
nard, Of Tennessee, got off the grafton.
The best speech, all things considered
we ever heard, was Admiral Farra-
CUTS rebuke to the radical mob that
insulted President johnson on the
balcony of the st. Charles of Pitts
burg. We remember him we'll as he
raised the visor OF his naval cap, and
showing countenanoe of usually
Quaker like placidity, uttered words
OF stinging and deserved rebuke. AT
that moment the tremendous Ulysses
was getting inside the balcony win.
dow"
Now, who would have thought that
Ulysses ever turned his back on rad
ical mob; who would have remember
ed it but a democratic editor?

IHE hlgh-taxers are profoundly
moved at the talk about testing the
cOnstitutionality of the 1OO3 act
They seem to think it is no worse tC
violate the constitution than to break
their pledges. A Nashville special to
the Courier-J Journal of yesterday says;
The talk of the streets and hotels
at present is to the effort which is
contemplated to defeat the settlement
of the state debt, or, as some claim
the efforts Of the "shorts" to get even,
1t looks very much like it was a gen.
uine effort to defeat settlement, in
stead Of speculative scheme. The
men who propose to eDjoin have re-
tanned several attorneys, aud ex- Gov.
efnor Marks is one of them. They
will ask Judge Williams, of Winches.
ter, to grant it, and it is claimed
that he will readily do it. This
is the home Of Beasley and ex-
Governor Marks. So it appears
that the scheme is an effort from the
low tax men exclusively to defeat the
adjustment which was provided for by
our legislature. Ex-Governor Marks
will again be brought before the peo.
pie, but this time in an entirely differ
ent light. My letter to the Courier
journal several days ago, which stated
that Marks was to be the Malone oil
Tennessee, has produced some pro.
found thinking among all parties
The papers throughout the state have
realized the danger Of such a move.
ment, and are commenting exten.
sively. Ex-Governor Marks has not
seen fit to make any denial of the re-
port, and the fact that he has been
retained as an attorney on the case
makes the matter still more probable
No doubt Gov. Marks will be heard
from at the right time, though he may
not feel called upon to deny every
charge raised by his enemies, even il
he reads them. This the so-called
state credit men know we'll enough
they could not have carried the state
last fall if they had advocated the
settlement upon a basis of 100 and 3
or ii their real intentions had been
known. They know also thai
if the act is not permitted to take
effect, now tbe 80 and 4 OF 30 and
party will sweep the state at the No.
vember election in 1882. High tax
and low tax democrats, greenbackeri
and republicans will unite upon such
a platform as this and when theJ
carry the state, their Representatives
will keep faith with the people and
not be.driven or fattered by mOnied
lobby. The attempt to handcuf the
state, and to do that which no power
not even constitutional convention
can undo, will be rebuked and resent
ed by free people. The act passed
is a standing insult to their manhood
and intelligence. The organs of the
money power exultingly said just aftel
the infamy was consummated: "NoV
we have you; state credit is fixed ire
vocably; the honor Of Tennessee i
restored help yourselves if you can,
