THE health of Memphis for some

menal. Not only has there been no
prevalent sickness of any kind, but
the rate of mortality has been unuus-

class last week and four during a
previous week recently, and some
of these did not die a natural
death. This ont Of white population

COLONEL Golyar closes his remark

A few short month will demon.
strate what / say, the 60 3-4-5 6 will
be fixed fact, or for years we will
struggle over the question, corrupting
Legislatures, demoralizing the people,
and permanently endangering the rep
utation of the State by being compelled
through the courts to pay the debt,
when we once had the chance Of set
ting at very low figure.
Colonel Colyar has studied the debt
question for more than ten years. He,
Of all men, ought to know the es-
sential facts and bearings. How, then
does it happen that he failed to express
the above opinions before the regular
conventionP How could he permit
the American to be silent and neutral
for months? The Banner was out,
and everybody knew where and how it
stood, and now Colonel Colyar has to
fail in at the tail end Of the procession,
organized we might say, and beaded
by the Banner All this teaches one
thing Of use at least st-journalism cannot
be picked Up in day and the owners
Of newspapers are not necessarily
newspaper men. Meanwhile the Nash
vile World has como to the front and
is recognized all over the State az the

another grocer named Madden buying

be fought the police arrived. The!

West Point is to be discontinued as
a separate military department after
August 20. This is an excellent
change. There is no reason why any
military school, however admirable in
its workings, should be puffed out into
separate department OF an army. For
one thing, it has bad effect on the
cadets and some of the officers con-
nected with the institution. At
tachting too great importance to the
school tends to give the benefciaries
of the nation who are educated there
too high an opinion of themselves and
OF their value to the country. The
Superintendent of the academy here
after will be Colonel Merritt, and he
will report to the General of the army.
General Howard goes West. The
academy is said to have been much
improved under his control.

Morton, American Minister at

weeks.
The Paris correspondent of the
Times says: The idea of a renewal |
OF close cooperation of France with
England has now forced itself upon
the French. The Cabinet Council has
adopted a resolution to this effect
A resolution, conditional on three |
things, viz: Turkeys reply to the |
identical note of the powers, inviting |
the Porte to send troops to Egypt, |
the decision Of the conference and |
sanction of Parliament, subject to
these conditions" The two govern
ments are now entirely agreed in regard
to the terms upon which their forces
undertake to restore order in Egypt.
A leading editorial article in the
Morning Post says: THE behavior of
the American Admiral and his
men, at Alexandria, is beyond
praise. Amid the diplomatic protests
European concerts and conferences,
and naval demonstrations of imbecili-
ty, it srefreshing to find commander
who is able and willing on his own
account to say what he
thinks and do what he says.
Sixty marines, physically speaking,

of giving support which quadruples

Jay Gould's New Yacht.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2o.-Cramp,
who is building Jay Gould's yacht, has
been here in consultation with the Naval
Advisory Board. He says that his con-
tract with Gould Is not to give him any
definite number of knots, but to do the
best that could be done vessel 212 feet
long, with fixed breadth of beam. He
says that Gould cannot bear to be tantal-
ized. There is New York silk dealer
named Jarrst who lives above Gould on
the Hudson. He has yacht 112 feet long
which habltually passes Gould's present
yacht on the river. Jarret, 1t seems, las
Vicious way of coming down and firing
a gun as he passes Gould's landing. Then
when he passes him on the, river he
beckons to him in mocking and dread
full way from the deck of the yacht.
Gould has no idea of going around the
world, but he does intend to stop this i'm
pertinence on the part Of Jarret. The new
yacht will be nearly all boilers and en-
gines, and will probably be; the fastest
vessel ever built.

miles from the Pennsylvania line. They
observed gipsy-like habits, the company
being composed Of about equal mum bels
of men, women, babes and framed black
bears. They departed Thursday in their
rude dog carts, passing through Elmira,
and the police drove them out of town
quickly. Now the statement is made by
citizen of Wellsburg who observed
their habits that one of the Italian infants
died in camp and was, inslieu Of burial,
fed to the bears. There is good evidence
that the inhuman parents stood by and

Bob Lincoln and Gen. Swain

WARRINGTON, Nov. 29.-The complica-
tions between the secretary of war and
Judge Advocate General Swain are as far
from settlement as ever, notwithstanding
statements to the contrary, the latest be-
ing relative to a transfer Of an officer from
one branch OF the service to another.
Secretary Lincoln decided that 1t would
be illegal to authorize the change, and
the friends Of the interested party laid
the matter before Gen. Swain. The lat
ter, after consulting all the authorities,
declared the subject was optional with
the secretary, and that the law had no
bearing on the case. The controversy is
not yet decided, although the secretary
assumed the responsibility of sending the
officer in question to an obscure post.
Such action on his part angered the army
ring, which had endeavored to secure a
modification of the order, but finding Ca
jolery would not suffice, threats were sub.
stituted and the influence of the ring ex.
erted. The secretary's only answer to
their interrop patories was that he proposed
to run the war department after his own
fashion without being Influenced by fear
or favor.
