THE POLAR REGIONS.
Interesting Letters from DIR. Pavey,
USA., Now VIII Lieut.. Greeley.

81. LOUIS, January 1.-THE Globe Democrat
prints some extracts from letters written by
DR.. Octave Pavey, U.S.A., formerly of this
city, who went to the Arctic region on the
Gulnare, in June, 1881, and remained in
Greenland until the arrival of the expedition
under Lieutenant Greeley, in July, 1881,
which he joined surgeon and naturalist. at
God Haven, on Disco Island. The letters
brig dates down TO September of last year,
and note the arrival of the Proteus with the
Greeley expedition last July, and the
passage from there to Lady Franklin Bay,
which resulted in the discovery of
Hartier, where preparations were
made To build house, to
be called Fort Conger, in honor OF Senator
CoDger, which is the first signal station of
the cQloui .ation party and the future station
of the land exploring parties On the pas
sage from God Haven to Lady franklin bay
DIR. Pavey, Lieutenant Greeley and Lieuien-
ant Lockwood went ashore at Carey Islands
and visited the depot of provisions placed
there by Captain Mares, of the Eaglish ex-
petition, 10 1879, at Lifeboat cave. where
Huntington and part Of the Polaris party
passed their second winter after the death OF
Captain Hall. They found several relics of
the Polaris camp and sent them to some of
the parties now in Washington. Cape Haw-
kins and Washington Survey Islands were also
visited ana Inc depots established by captain
Mares inspected. AT the last place Lieutenant
oc';wood made copy of the record left by
Clptain Mares, which he left in the cairn
a1d brought the original away. At Cape
Iieber they went ashore and climbed the
Cliff, which is about two thousand five hun
dred feet high, al d had magnificent view
from it of Rularis Promontory, Peterman's
Ford, Lady Frsnk'in Bay end Bassetts Bay,
all lying like panorama before their ex-
pectaut gszs. II wis from this high cliff
that DR.. Hayes saw the open Polar sea. The
csiFn he mentioned having erected here
could not DE found. P,ior to the arrival OF
the party at God Haven DR.. Pavey had a
large quantity of the best fur clothing made,
and got other necessaries for The sledge

RAILROAD VS.. STATE.
The Hannibal and 81. Hoe Matter Com.
Ing to a Focus-NotIce Served
Upon
Governor Critfenden, who Says He
Will Fight the Case TO the
Hitter End.

ST. LOUIS, January 2.-Late yesterday
afternoon G. w. Easley, attorney of the Han
nibal and st. Joseph railroad. in behalf of
Russell q. Ralston, Herman Dowd and O.
Renocot, jr., of said road, served a notice on
Governor Crittenden, at Jefferson City, thai
application will be made TO Judge McCrary,
of the United States Circuit Court at his
chambers, in Reokuk, Iowa, on January
10Th, for an order restraining him from ad-
vertising for sale the Hannibal and st. Jo-
seph railroad. Governor Crittenden states
that this is the commencement of a suit
against the State; that there shall be no
more agreed cases. but that he is determined
to resist every attempt of the railroad COM
pany to avoid the payment of its Just
liability to the State, and will contest the
matter IN every court, it being his fixed pur-
pose to fight the case to the bitter end. In
order that the State shall obtain her rights
the matter has been placed In the hands of
Attorney General Mcintyre, who will ap-
pear before Judge McCrary for the governor
on the 10th instant, and be assisted by able
counsel. III necessary, Governor Crittenden,
TO the statement made by John r.
Duff, vice-president of the Hannibal and St.
Joe road, and telegraphed from New York
couple of days ago, that the bonds issued to
the road by the State to the amount of
5, 600 900 an / no more, and that the same
was paid to State Treasurer Chappell in full
OF the obligation, stated that while it is
true S3,000,000 represents the principal
Of the bonds it does not repre-
sent the coupons; that the bonds
have eight to sixteen years yet to
run, and that the coupons are as much an
the bonds themselves, and
hat Mr.. Duff is clearly wrong in saying the
$, 100000 was paid in full OF obligations,
in face of the fact that the
receipt given by State-Treasurer Campbell
or the $3,000O00 distinctly states that the
money was received on account. The gov
amor further states that in the agreed case
to the Supreme Court by Colonel
Easley, attorney for the road, and Attorney
General Mcintyre, the Court decided that
he SS,O00,000 in question was not the full

Organization of the Gulf and Pacific
Railroad, with n Capital Stock

i'm the Company.

ST. LOUIS, January 1.-The Repubiioos's
Dallas, Texas, special says: ARTICLES OF
incorporation have been prepared and the
charters will be secured within the next two
weeks for another gigantic railroad enter
prise in Texas, to be known as the Gulf and
Pacific road, to run from New Orleans ria
Dallas to Isteta, New Albuquerque, New
Mexico, and form junction with the Allan
tic and Pacific. 1t will run from New Or
leans to the Sabine river ria Opelousas,
distance of two hundred and twenty miles,
then to Dallas over the Texas trunk, abb
sorbing that road distance of two hundred
and fifty miles, thence northwesterly to the
boundary of the State in Bayley
county, a distance of four hundred
miles, thence ria Fort Summer to Isteta,
in the valley of the Rio Grande; The entire
length OF the road will be eleven hundred
and thirty miles. The road will be in three
separate divisions-the Louisiana, the Texas
and the New Mexico-and there will be three
separate boards of directors 1t is proposed
to capitalize at the rate of SO 900 per mile,
making the stock $l6,950O0O, and bonds at
the same rate will be issued. The road will
be operated by three different companies, in
corporated under the laws of Louisiana,

a construction company formed under the
laws of New Jersey. The road is backed by
some OF the strongest banks and capitalists
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Washington, as well as Europe. The Allan
tic and Pacific will be very much interested in
the western end of the road. The old Spanish
mines east of Albuquerque will be reopened
after abandonment for many years, they being
found to be incredibly rich, and their owners
will take a large amount of stock in the

A YEAR OF PLENTY
And Unexampled Prosperity for the
Entire Country, as Evidenced in
the Phenomenal
Increase in the Exchanges Of All the
Principal Cities-Real and Sab
staHtial Prosperity.

BosToS, January 2.-The Post says: The
year just closed has been one of unsxampled
prosperity throughout the business and in
dustrial circles of the country. This is re-
Elected sharply in the clearings of the clear
ing houses in other cities all but one showing
an increase in the years business over that
of 1880. 1t is a striking evidence of the
growth of our country that the total gross
clearings OF the large cities have increased
in one twelve month from so, 6S8, 1884 ,O9S to
$j4, 400, 5S0,967 or 27.1 per cent. Last years
increase over 1879 was BIG per cent. Tested
by these records, the business of 1881 APP
peared to have surpassed that of any
previous year by between one-fifth
and one. sixth in value. The most
remarkable increase of the year was that of
Louisville, with So per cent. gain, which was
followed by Kansas City 329, Chicago 30.5,

ON Wednesday night next a grand mas
meeting will be held at the Greenlaw Opera
house for the purpose of ratifying the Citi-
zens' ticket 1t is earnestly hoped that all
the solid, sensible men Of Memphis who
realize the necessity for good government
and for continuance Of the administration
of public affairs fccording to the economical
plans laid down by Porter, Overton and
their colaborers, will be present aud give
earnest OF a hearty support Of the best
OF the two tickets offered for public ae-
ceptance. 1t cannot be disguised that
the b)ndholders hope to cripple the
government which stands Gin the way of the
communication of their purposes and pave
the way to the resumption OF the old munic-
ipality and the consequent opening of the
door by which mandaIauses can be pushed
upon our merchants, harrassiug ard Grip
pling them, and retarding and delaying the
growth OF the city. This really is the issue.
Every business man, every banker, mechanic
and laborer should therefore make it a
special duty to stand by the Citizens ticket
and to be present at the meeting on Wednes-
day night. The election of that ticket on
Thursday will assure the future of Memphis.
