| Col. Thomas James Finnie, once a promi.
nent lawyer and leading citizen of Memphis
| accompanied by his family, reached the cit
yesterday, and time has so changed him that
he was recognized by but few of his old
friends. Twenty-Five years ago he was
the most conspicuous figure in Memphis
but yesterday he was a stranger among
strangers. He has many warm friends
among the old citizens, who remember his
usefulness in pushing forward every enter
prise that had for its object the growth and
prosperity of Memphis. The life of Col.
Finnie has much in il that is ro-
mantle. Thirty years ago he was in
the employ of Great Britain for the
purpose OF testing the possibility of produc-
ing cotton in some of the British posses
sions. A monument should be erected 10
him in Court Square, for we are in-
debted 10 him for this beautiful spot He
was an alderman from one of the Gill; wa=da
in 1856, and Court Square was placed under
his especial care. His love for this beauti-
full spot was the passion of his life. He laid
out its walks, planted the trees and shrub
berry, and watched its budding beauty with
all the pride and affection a father feels for
a daughter bIossoming into beautiful
womanhood. Col. Finnie was an enthusiast
upon the subject of Court Square. The re-
suit of his labors will stand in the heart Of
Memphis an evergreen monument of his love,
his thoughtfulness in adjoining it with
natures brightest and most beau
tiful works, for centuries TO come,
as it is safe to predict that this sacred spot
will live so long az Memphis lives Court,
Square will be ga thing of beauty and Joy
forever" and through it Col. Finnie's anne
will be handed down 10 the remotest pos
terry. He who makes a blade of grass to
grow where none grew beforeis ben ETA ctor
and he who plants a tree, a shrub and
flower, under whose welcome shade future
g enerations shall gather and hymn his
praises, earns an Immortality more desirable
thanfthe soldier whose sword devaetaes and
destroys. Such is the fame won by this old
friend of Memphis, and somewhere in this
beautiful spot should be inscribed in imper-
ishable letters-THoMAs JAMES FINNfE, THE
FOUNDER OF COURT SQUARE.

RADICAL mIsREPEEsENrATIoN.


Senator Window, OF Minnesots, who wal
for few months secretary oil The treasury
seems anxious to emulate the folly and dis.
regard Of truth recently exhibited by Sec.
rotary Folger. Mr.. Window is making
protection" speeches in the West, and
warning the people against the election of a
Democratic Congress. Among his foolish
and !alse utterances, the secretary said "the
Democrats reduced the duty on quinine, but
the price 10 consumers advanced soon after
and has remained 70 ever since% 1t is not
possible that this assertion OF Mr.. Window
was made in ignorance, and the inference is
Irresistible that he knew he was making a
deliberate misstatement, the fact being that,
just prior 10 the time when quiuine was
placed on the free list, that article was SELL
ing IN the American market at more than
So an ounce. Immediately after the passage
OF the law the price OF quinine went down,
aud at one time it had fallen to 81 SO per
ounce. Uuder the combined influence OF q
limited supply and the operations OF mon
eyed ring the price was advanced to 81 50,
but il soon Teceded, and to-day quinine is
not worth more than $21O per ounce at the
outside, while it may usually be bought at
from five to ten cents less. The truth ia,
that by putting quinine on the free list the
consumers of that absolutely necessary arti-
Gle have saved on every ounce consumed,
and, SO far as the pablo is informed, with
out any great distress or damage to the man
ufacturers. 1t is pitiable 10 see United
States senator, man who was deemed
worthy 10 occupy position made illustrious
by Alexander Hamilton, descend 10 the
paltry arts OF a pot house politician and be-
come retailer OF campaign fasehoods.

ORTHODOXY,
AS IL is Explained by Prof. Park TO the
Congregational Ministers of BssfOn.

Boston, October 30.-Prof. Park, of An
dover, spoke to-day before the Congregs-
tional ministers on "The Essentials of Or
thodoxy." He said, among other things:
ave have given up one doctrine after an
other, but we must stop somewhere, because
Cougreg ationalism means something more
than system of church government. There
are three doctrines which, in the present
state of the churches, we should insist upon
as essential TO ordination. There may be
excep' ions, but no man should be ordained
when he denies or qualities these doctrines
unless il is explicitly stated that he is
ordained under such exceptional circum-
stances, and for special reasons. These are:
First, that the Bible Is trustworthy a
religious guide in all its religious
teachings. Second, that the doctrine of
the atonement is a saerlhelal act as
consisting in the sufferipgs and death
of the Goldman, which sufferings and
death are representative of the eternal
punishment of sinners; that these sufierings
and that death were designed 10, and in fact
do, honor Gods justice and love and holt
ness much as the law and the holiness and
Justice of God would be honored by The eter-
nal perdition OF sinners. Third, that this
world is the only world of probation; that
the future world is world OF punishment,
If man dies impeDitent, and that such a
man will suffer the punishment OF the law,
which is eternal. We ought 10 be more
careful not to ordain man who has depart
ed from the truth than a man who is coming
up higher toward the truth. Here is the
OF truth. One man il at the very
bottom of it and is going up; another man
is at The top of it, coming down. They meet
at certain place, and each sgrees exactly
with the other. They are both equal then,
but the man who is going up is far superior
IL i 'ha
going up has his face toward the heavens;
the man who is coming down ia shaking off
the old doctrines, and no one can tell where
he will o., u

A TELEGRAPH TANGLE.
A Breach of Faith the Part of the
mutual Union Check mated.

New York, November "a new turn was
taken yesterday forenoon in Mutual Union
affairs, which steps the now pooling scheme
creates some excitement in financial circles
and possibly disappoints the hopes OF those
who expected to profit by the proposed ar
rangement. That arrangement, as made
public yesterday, was that the stockholders
had placed a majority OF the stock with
George w. Baker, of the First National
Bank, George w. Barlow and A. H. Potter,
of Boston, trustees, for FIVE years, with
full control for voting purposes, but stock
was 10 be deposited with the Central Trust
Company OF this city. The wonder was how
this could be done while there was a pre-
vious pool in which Baker and Jay Gould
were co-trustees of controlling stock. The
inner facts were developed this morn
ing by legal proceedings bsfore Judge
Van Brunt, OF the Superior Court.
Application was made bv Norvin
Green, president of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, the holder of 81 600 shares
OF stock, and bv Mr.. Gould, one of the trus-
tees of the original pool, for an injunction.
After reading the papers Judge Van Brunt
issued the order. 1t transpires that the
Mutual Union Company, finding difficulty
to meet its Indebtedness and pay interest on
its bond, applied TO Mr.. Gould for help
through Mr.. Baker. There were ugly suits
pending also, including the validity of the
Sage patent, which the Mutual Union was
anxious 10 have disposed of. The result
was an agreement between Baker and
Gould. 1t was arranged that Gould should
purchase of John G.. Moore & Co. Is, 500
shares of stock at about an average of So,
and that 10000 shares should be put up for
the pool. In connection with this Mr..
Gould also bought from Baker, who had
a like amount, Is, 500 shares, which, with
the other stock held by the various persons
IL
sary $4,000 needed for the pool. Mr..
Gould transferred to the Western Union
most of his stock. The money derived from
these transactions went to pay off debts for
construction. Subsequently the bonds were
taken by the Western Union, and the money
used to pay the interest due. Recently, and
after Baker had been elected director of the
Western Union, application was made by
The Mutual Union for more money to pay
interest. The committee of the Western
Union refused to authorize it, and there
upon Baker put in the hands of Gould his
This led to effort to form
new pool, which has been stopped by the in
junction. How Baker is going 10 explain
his action TO Gould, his trustee, and to The
court remains to be seen. As the case
stands he and his associates are bound in
the original pool, and are indebted TO the
Western Union for the money paid. Judge
Van Brunt is familiar with telegraph law
and affairs, having sat in the hearing of the
case of Benedict u.s. the Atlantic and Pacific
and Western Union Companies in 1878. He
then decided sustaining the noOl.
