| DALLAS, March 1.-The general outlook
for heavy wholesale trade in this city dur.
| ing the coming season is of the most en-
couraging character The rains of the past
two months came at the most favorable
time for the farmer and planter. The dry,
/ pleasant weather during the fall and tirst
part OF the winter enabled crops to be gath
cred early, and great deal of ground was
prepared Tor the coming spring crops. And
while the yield OF corn and cotton was not
as large as the year Just preceding, the
prices were far better, and were probably
much more remunerative to the producer
than ever before in the history of the coun-
Try. There wasnot rs much money expended
IN securing the crop for market, nor was
there as many outside laborers employed in
the work, all of which contributed TO the
material benefit of those who titled the soil,
IL is true this state of affairs was in meas
ure detrimental for the time to retail mer-
chants, for the class of laborers who are
generally employed in the contemplating
season usually spend their earnings as fast
as thcy receive them; but still the proceeds
from the sales of cotton and grain were not
lost to the country, and it is fair to presume
that our farmers and planters, after meet
ing their obligations Of all kinds, have still
enough, money left to supply themselves
with all the necessary supplies until the
next crops are ready for market. The
yield OF wheat, with propitious
weather, will be the largest
ever gathered in North Texas, and this will
be ready for market at time when the great
staple of the country is growing, and
which will give an impetus and activity 10

The River and Harber BiII

New YORK, May ga Washing
ton special says: The River and Har-
Dor bill is completed and will be re-
ported Tuesday. The gross amount
appropriated exceeds that of last year
by $4,OOO,OOO. This bill embodies
several new features, one of the most
important being in regard to the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. Hereto
lore the appropriations have been al
lotted to the various harbors or rapids
on these rivers, for expenditures in
certain sums at the given points. This
time all this work is LETT to the direc-
tion Of the Commission. The money
is appropriated in gross for various
sections Of the rivers. 1t rests with
the Commissioners to divide it, as
seems best to them, among the several
works.

gle.
Hon. VIM. r. Moore is out in long
statement in regard to the Memphis
Postofiee. He concludes as follows:
Now, to sum up with single con-
clusion: The Memphis postoffice, with
twenty-six employees, is now run in
the interest, direct or indirect, OF the
reputation Bourbon Democracy. Its
present management not only endan.
gers the success of the State credit
and the National honor, but discredits
good business management also. The
success of the policy endangers the
Republican party in Shelby county.
The defeat Of the party in Shelby
county defeats the party in the Leg
islature. The defeat in the Legisla-
ture sends to the United States Senate
Hon. Isham G. Harris, as his own
successor. So, in short, the manage.
ment of the Memphis postofice is log
ically and unmistakably shown to be
a factor, which may, in all probability,
little as superficial observers may think
Of it, decide the political complexion
Of Tennessee, and possibly that of the
Forty. eighth Congress.
Very respectfully,
WIN. r. MOORE.
P. S.-Let it be borne in mind that
there we're six applicants. All of
them could not be nominated. The
united Republican delegation in Con-
gress, therefore, agreed upon that one
applicant least likely to create party
antagonisms, while being also emf
nently fitted by business requirements
for the place. MIR. Schultz is now
assistant cashier of the First National
Bank of Memphis. He speaks and
writes fuently the German and Eng
lish languages; is an ex union soldier,
and, while never having taken an
active part in the canvass, has con-
tributed literally of his means. Yet,
if any valid reason can be urged
against his appointment by the admin
istration, his friends have never been
willing to listen to them.
These are tho facts. Let the respon.
sibility rest where it belongs.

The leading subject with Irishmen
everywhere yesterday was the assassi-
nation Of Lord Frederick Cavendish,
the new Secretary for ireland and
under Secretary Mr.. Thomas Henry
Burke, which took place Saturday
evening in Phoenix Park, Dublin.
There was a general expression of
horror at the act and one leading
Irishman was about to cable a message
offering reward of I've thousand
dollars for the discovery of the assas-
sins, but was dissuaded from the act.
The details Of the tragedy so far re-
ceived are not very accurate or we'll
connected. Particulars are given, yet
there seem to be no witnesses. The
gentlemen were walking in the park
after dinner, perhaps under the very
shadow ofWellington's colossal mon
ument Their bodies were found yet
warm and bleeding profusely. They
had been terribly stabbed and were
stark dead. The money and gold on
their persons remained undisturbed
therefore robbery was not the object
These men went to ireland ss Mr.
Gladstone's chosen representatives
to inaugurate a liberal policy
They expected no danger
were not guarded as they
could have been, if thought necessary
and we're doubtless unarmed. Be thil
as it may, they were overcome anC
slain in quiet pleasure park as tn,
sun was gcing down. There arr
various conjectures as to the cause anC
the perpetrators. Public judgment
cannot settle down upon any particu
lar theory until further facts are de,
veloped. 1t will probably be re-
vealed that the act was committed BY
reckless persons for whom no party is
to be held strictly accountable. The
event, however, calls the attention Of
the world to deplorable state oi
affairs in Ireland, aud one of the i'm
mediate effects will probably be to
strengthen the Tory party in Eng.
land and weaken the hands of
Mr.. Gladstone. Meantime a number
Of leading Irishmen will hold pre-
liminary meeting to night to make
arrangements for mass meeting to /.
morrow night, at which it is proposed
to discuss this matter fully, and to de
nounce the policy Of assassination as
it deserves at the hands of intelligent
men everywhere, regardless of party
or natl onaltv.
