THE LEDGER's first of September issue
will contain complete statement of the
cotton trade, manufacturing establish
ments and various industries and inter
ests of Memphis, besides "a variety of inter-
esting matter prepared especially for the
occasion. These annual trade and statis-
tical statements have heretofore met such
hearty public approval, that we are en-
couraged to put forth an unusual effort
The season bids fair to open more conspic-
uously than for many years, and the
LEDGER proposes, as usual, to assist in
the boom. There is every reason to be-
lieve that Memphis will have an unprece-

from new territory, all of it desirable and
profitable,

holders to operate their road at very
good profit, and that will be suffi cient
reason for their deciding to take the
property back into their own hands.
1t is claimed that the road,can be
operated for so per cent of the gross
earnings, and tie claim is not un-
founded. The stock was very active
yesterday, and advanced from sixty up
to sixty-four, but went off in the after
noon.
On Tuesday the first train was run
over the Pensacola & Atlantic railroad
between Pensacola and Milton. This
is the road which is being built by
Mr.. DeFuniak, the General Manager
of the Louisville & Nashville, and
which, when completed, will make a
short route from the Gulf to the
Atlantic. There are about l10 miles
yet to be completed, but all the grad
ing is finished, and the rails are on the
ground, SO that it is expected that the
trains will be running the entire length
of the road, from Pensacola to Ohatta-
hoochee, by November /.

ltis really impossible for our reflect
ing fellow citizens in Tennessee to be
co-conspirators of the Republicans
since the true inwardness Of the al
legged "State credit" movement has
been laid bare. The Republican con
spiracy was carefully planned at
\ Washington, just as the Greenback
campaigns have been planned, by the
Republican leaders, 1t was deemed
best by the repudiating tricksters of
the party which began repudiating iD
1862, to attempt the division Of
the Democratic party by the hypo-
critical cry of "State credit" "State
honor" Like the King and his fine
clothes in Hans Andersen's interest.
ing little story, this parade Of "State
credit" State honor" is fraud and
a sham. The King was discovered to
have no clothing on at all, and he had
to retire, together with tho courtiers,
who pretended to be holding up a
glittering train which had no exist
ence. The King was naked, and SO is
the "State credit" sham. No Demn.
Gratis in Tennessee should permit
themselves to be tricked by the Haw-
kins conspirators, who are but the
tools of Republican leaders. The
Republicans never did intend to
settle the public debt Of Tennessee.
If they follow the party tendencies
they will repudiate the whole
debt. All they want is to draw off
enough Democrats from Bate to Sc
cure the election of Hawkins. The
Democrats, united, can bury Hawkins
under a majority of not less than
$4,000 or 10000. Yet some Demo-
Gratis are committing the folly of
taking the Republican bait and thus
helping Hawkins repudiators in their
purpose to get control of the State,
when the only settlement of the State
debt offered is that indorsed by the
Democracy in their platform.
The tone Of the alleged Estate
credit" Democratic organs 10 Tonnes
see is pitiably weak. They offer no
arguments. They so on repeating the
charge that the Bate Democracy are
repudiators, and that they themselves
are champions of "State honor"
Estate credit" etc., etc., and all the
time they join hands with the Repub-
licans to repudiate forty cents on the
dollar of the public debt. That is
their exact position, and it suits the
repudiating Republicans.

THE property valuation in Philadelphia
upon which the tax rate of 1883 is based
is S571, ,4S8, ,255, an advanceof S18,0OO,0O0
over the valuation of 1882, attributable to
the creation of valuable buildings by cor
porations and merchants. In consequence
of the increase the tax rate will be 81 s.
next year instead Of the present rate
81 90. When Memphis is built up and
becomes a manufacturing city with apop-
lation of $1,000 prosperous people, as may
easily be done in five or six years, the rate
of taxation will be reduced instead of in
creased.
