ELMWOOD.
A Public Meeting and "a Protest.

The grave. leveling question was
discussed rather warmly by some two
hundred people. in the County Court
room at the Courthouse, last night.
The meeting included many ladies
and number of influential citizens.
The Elmwood Cemetery management
was represented by Jno. Lenow, S. G.
Toof and Thos. Gale. The leading
speakers included Esquire R. B. Mil
Ter, Henry Moode, James Gallagher
and 3. NJ. Estes. The latter presided,
and G. A. Hessen served as Secretary.
Mr.. Gallagher said that unless the
cemetery managers arranged the
graves of his dead as they were, he
would prosecute them, and he would
also volunteer his legal advice, free of
charge, for any others wishing to fol.
low his example. He also said that
he had examined the Elmwood char
ter, and, as far as he could see, it
contained nothing authorizing the
trustees to level the graves and make
lawn over them. Messrs. Gale
and Toof, in the interests of the
cemetery management said the trus-
tees were anxious to do right and
nothing else; that they wished to hear
such complaints as those interested
may have to offer; that four hundred
graves we're sunk below the surface,
and the managers had determined to
fill them up; that unless those inter-
ested visited the graves each month,
many would be unable to find them;
the lawn system had been determined
on after several months discussion
and deliberation, and all unenclosed
single graves will be leveled; also
those in lots, with the consent Of their
owners. Mr.. Gale said during his
intended trip North he would visit
Spring Grove cemetery at Cincinnati,
which is carried on on the lawn plan,
and report to the people here Oh his
return. A series of resolutions we're
offered aud adopted, the sense of which
is that in view of the measures taken
and partially executed to level gravO
mounds at Elmwood, without the con-
sent Of friends Of deceased people
inferred there, the officers of the
cemetery be respectfully and earnestly
requested to desist, and that the graves
be restored to their original shape
also that the trustees give diligence to
their duties.

1t is thought that the change in the

the size of the vote. Little rain falls
in September, the roads are in good

that this will reduce materially the

IT is being claimed, and without

half adopted the intelligent suggestion
of Civil Engineer Waring, and that
the outlets are promises of future un-
healthfulness. The trouble with

THERE will be public meeting at
the courthouse at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon for the purpose Of discussing
the proposed settlement of the city
debt at fifty cents on the dollar. This
is very important matter, and there
should be a full attendance of all
classes who feel any interest in the
future of Memphis. There is uuques-
tionable strong sentiment in favor Of
an early compromise, and there can
be no serious objection to settling
under the present act provided the
bondh 1lders will come in so
solidly as to make it virtually
unanimous and agree to a graded rate
of interest, or low rate, SO as to give
the people a living and breathing
chance. 1t should be remembered
that the sooner we settle the sooner
an accumulation of interest at 6 per
cent on the full amount of the debt is
stopped. lfthe bondholders, however,
are not dealing fairly, if they seek to
obtain all the advantages of compro
mise and still continue to fight for all
theyey claimed in the courts, then
it is necessary as a matter Of self pres
ervation to take the chances and fight
If a settlement awhile longer. We
hope the boUdholders will attend and
will state definitely in plain words
and figures what they have to propose,
and then there will be something tan
gible for business men to consider.

The time for the meeting of the
State Convention to adopt platform
and nominate a candidate for Gov
ernor will soon arrive, and what are we
to anticipate as the result of said con-
ventiOn While the State credit press
of the State have been crying out for
harmony and uni6cation of the high
and low tax wings of the Democracy
not one of them has yet come out and
said upon what basis they desire to
attain this end. On the other Land,
the low tax Democracy have declared
their willingness to adopt the platform
OF the party of 1873, and take Marks,
or some one else that they could con-
sistently support, as their leader in
the coming State election. If the
State credit wing of the party are
honest in saying that they want
to see the party again united and
Hawkins and the Stalwart wing of the
Republican party forever and eternal
ly laid upon the shelf, buried so deep
that the hand OF resurrection can never
reach them, they can have it so by
saying the word.
If the American and World will
come out and say upon what basis they
propose to harmonize-and we call on
them to do sO-whether they are will
ing to readopt the platform Of 1873 and
nominate Marks, or some other man
who will be acceptable to the people,
and urge upon their wing of the party
to pursue such course and send dele
gates to the convention to do the same
thing, all will end we'll. If the State
credit Democrats want to see Hawkins
radicalism hurled from place and
power, they can have it done by taking
the proper steps to secure harmony in
the coming convention. Will they do
it? If not, WHY not?

Improved Outlook for the Crops

New York Herald, 81.
Although the season has for some
time been colder than usual, the great
grain crops have passed the critical
period of the spring without grave
damage from the weather. Yester-
days reports indicated rising tenn
persture in the West and Northwest,
and comparison of the present spring
season with that of 1881 is on the
whole decidedly in favor of the former.
1t is also just now worthy of notice,
that it is exceedingly improbable that
June can develope any cold condi-
tons that will sensibly affect
he present agricultural outlook.
In June, 1877, the temper
atures ranged considerably below
the mean for the month in several of
the grain growing regions, being "a
below the mean in the upper Missis-
sippi valley, 3 l below in Minnesota,
and 40 below in the upper Missouri
valley. These were notable defcien-
cies Of temperature for the first sum
mer months, but they caused no serious
deficiencies in the crops Of that year.
Even should the first month of the
coming summer prove cooler than that
