PRACTICALLY speaking, the late
Board of Directors 10 the Memphis &
Charleston railroad company, had no
voice in the management of the road.
Nominally, Memphis was represented
by three of her foremost, success
full and esteemed business men,
Messrs. Nicely, Hill and Hanauer.
The Il. t., Va & Ga. railroad com
pany had and has yet complete con-
troll of the NJ. & Q. road, as Of the line
running from Bristol to Chattanooga.
The late Board could meet aud resolve
and elect officers, bnt that was all, and
this was the idea expressed the other
day, though not quite so clearly. The
new Board, in the event that the lease
is broken, will absolutely control the
road, elect its officers and run its
affairs. Then Memphis would be
represented in the management,
As to the effect this would
have here we shall not be
hasty in expressing an opinion
There will be time enough when all
the facts and bearings in the case
come out and are discussed. There
are large interests and able men or
both sides. Elsewhere will be found
the views of Ex-Governor Porter
stated explicitly and concisely. Tht
new Memphis Dicectors make sub
stantially the same statements. Tht
stock was originally bought on specu
latiou in view of the fact that the in
trinsic value Of the roaC
was increasing; stockholders rep
resenting a majority formed pool
and resolved to break the lease if pos
sible and take the road into their Owl
hands. Some Of these stockholder
are friendly to the Louisville & Nash
vile road, and may hold some Of it
stock, but nothing more than surmis
and vague rumor connects the L
& N. as a corporation with the move
ment. The new Directors, it is un
derstood, will meet hcre next weel

MEMPHIS NOT DEAD Or DE-
CLINING.


A careful estimate gives Memphis a
population of 46,32O, which is an Gu
couraging and gratifying increase
This is due notice to croakers and
enemies at home and abroad that
Memphis still lives and is again com
ing to the front. The Federal census
of 1880 only gave us a population of
about $4,000, Everybody knew that
was short Of the mark, but it was
generally thought to be best to bide
our time few years until the city
could retrieve some of her losses, and
get on her feet again, then when true
census was taken it would show so
much the better in our favor. The
time is coming, and that soon. for
Memphis to assert herself. Much has
been done. Much more is to be done.
The sanitary problem has been worked
out in a great measure. A strict en-
forcement Of present regulations and a
full supply Of good water will make
Memphis as healthy as any city there is
on the continent. The death rate will
perhaps always appear relatively high,
because this is the rendezvous of
many whites and of thousands Of col
ored people who do not belong here.
Deaths from this class cannot be
separated from the permanent resi-
dents. If this could be dOneit would
appear now that this is as healthy q
place as the average of American
cities. In the way Of improvements
very satisfactory progress has been
made; considering the difficulties, a
very remarkable amount of paving and
other work has been done. We have
several handsomely paved streets, and
others are being paved. That Mem
phis came to a standstill and went
backwards under an accumulation of
mistortunes no one will deny. But
there was stopping place and a reac-
ton. The tide has set in
the other way, the ship
that was drifting hopelessIy
at sea, has got up steam, and is max.
ing for sale and inviting port. Peo-
pie who are thrown upon their own
resources can accomplish wonders.
Those who have the courage to help
themselves first are always spplauded
and helped after the battle is half
won. When two more great railroads
run their trains into a central depot
here, the future Of the place
will be assured, and Memphis
will thonceforth rank only second to
St. Louis and New Orleans. The
debt question hangs over the city yet
but the time m,y come sooner than
expected when this can be handled
without breaking the camol's back. Il
all will work together, stand by ant
swear by Memphis the old town vii
be born again and become in a YER!
few years the pride ofthe Mississippi
valley and the admiration of the whole
country.

must remember that the downpour

HowLING FOR UNION DEPOT.
In yesterdays GLOBE we reported that
| there was rumor that the Milwaukee q
St. Paul road was going to join hands
| with the lower road and instead of COM
ing, as,was generally understood, through
South Saltwater and along the lake
shores, they would come from the juno
ton over the lower road. We also have
from still another authority that the as
sistant solicitor of the road
came to this city to ascertain if there
would be any objection to their coming
over that road, and before he left he
found that there were objections, and he
told this party that they had not decided
what they would do, which was in fact
saying that they intended to come that
way if there was any possible way that
they could do it.
The railroads have furnished st. Paul
with depot at cost of $l25, 900, and
Saltwater is over one-f fourth as large, and
the citizens propose to demand union
depot that shall cost the moderate sum of
fifty thousand, and a petition is now in
circulation to that effect.
A wholesale merchant visiting our city
a few days ago and remarking about the
depot accommodations said that the de-
pots of this city would be digrace to
way station in Dakota. 1t is due to the
business interests of this city that we
have union depot that is adequate to
the interest of this city, and IN order to
effect it it will be necessary for the citl-
zens to get up and demand of the roads
coming to this city that they give them
respectable depot instead of these old
tinder boxes that are disgrace to the
name ascribed to them. They propose to
make this demand, and they also pro-
pose to stay by it until they get some re-
turn for the money that they have ex-
pended in railroads. Let everybody
howl for union depot.
