The fact that exchange on London
was posted yesterday at within frac-

considerable uneasiness. Some parties,
however, claimed that sterling was
being manipulated somewhat for effect
on the stock market. Advocates of
this idea claimed that while the posted
rates Of exchange were high enough to
warrant gold shipments, it was difficult
to sell sterling at the lower actual
business rates. The foreign situation
causes an unsettled feeling.

Why He Should Paw.

Washington Post, AL
There is good deal Of costly relig-
ion even in this republic. That which
is supposed to come without money
and without price has often to be paid
for in this proud land. The right to
worship in certain spot in certain
church In Madison avenue, New York,
presided over by Rev. John p. New
man, is to cost General U. S. Grant a
thousand dollars year. This might
under ordinary circumstances be
called a weighty price to pay for the
privilege of worsbiping God accord
ing to one's conscience, but in excep-
tional cases like that at hand perhaps
no criticism can be made. There are
two reasons why General Grant
should be able and willing to pay at
least frst-class price for pew. In
the first place, he has received more
from the American people in the way
of charity than any other man who
ever lived, and so can afford the ex-
penditure; and again, he has had eight
years Of an administration at Wash
ington to think about, reflect upon
and ask pardon for.

; THE Cotton Exchange will meet
this afternoon to take steps toward
calling the attention Of Congress to
the danger that threatens our river
front, and to ask for governmental aid.
This is very important matter. It
has been apparent fer some time that
very serious calamity may soon befall
the city by the caving in and washing
away Of valuable property. There is
danger that the levee front will be
reduced, the cotton compress, elevator
and sheds undermined, and possibly
that the railway traffic will be inter
fered with. This would affect not only
the owners and lesseessof property, but
the trade of the city and the CONNER
cial relations of Memphis with the
surrounding country for hundreds of
miles. 1t has been suggested that a
committee be appointed at once
to proceed to Washington and
lay the facts before the
Committee on Commerce and to work
for an appropriation for the protection
Of the Memphis harbor. At the last
session of Congress the sum of $780,
600 was appropriated for the improve
ment Of the river front at Osceola, 100
miles above here, little place Of four
hundred inhabitants and an interior
trade that is mainly confined to one
county. The contractor is ut work
there now and one day this week came
down to the city and bought over
thirty thousand dollars worth of sup
plies. Surely Memphis is entitled to
attention, and If the matter is properly
presented no doubt Congress will be
disposed to give the subject a favor
able consideration. OF course our
immediate Representative will do all
he can, but he has many other things
to look after besides and it would be
we'll to have committee of two or more
on the ground to make this their
special business,

Awaiting the GuilIoiine.
Inn-Inn TrIe.rnnL.


 So soon as the sentence of death is passed the criminal 10 plnood on douhla allowance The ordinary prisoners have ratIOns of meat and of wlne only on Sun days and Thursdays. but the convict set apart for the guillotine has roast beef every day and "cinquieme" of wine both at breakfast and dinner. He may read, write or smoke as much as he likes. He has two wardens con stantly in attendance upon him, and theIr orders are never to contradict him and not to abstain from entering into cheerful conversation with him. The assassin TrOppmau used to play cards with his Iailers. Finally the condemned man has an hours exercise every day in the "promenoir' attached to the pr1son infrmary. There are, it's true, few drawbacks Co his physical enioyments. Directly sentence Is passed the prisoner is made to don the camisOle de force the straight jacket; and that dismal garment-if he be not respited-he never dOffs until he makes his toilet for the scaifOld. The camlsOle is a sack-like canvass vest, with the ends of the sleeves tied to- gether to prevent the protusiOn of the hands. Cords passing round the thighs, and fastening ae the shoulders. attach closely to his body the arms of the pris- oner. At meal times one sleeve of the camisole Is loOsened to allow the pris- Oner to eat with a wooden spoon the food which has been cut mp for him. Again his hand is set free when he wishes to write. The murderer never knows when his day of doom Is to come. Behind his meat, wine, tobacco and other comforts rises the red spectre Of the guillOtine. The cords which binds his arms to his sides are as the hand of Death, premonitorily clutching; and at any moment the governor of prison, the almoner and the "greffier," may enter his cell and tell hlm that his execution is fixed to take place, not a week or a month hence, but that very day, and within an hour or two.

OuRYlS IARnRS-

The Prescott Democrat comes to the
 defense of Oury's Congressional record,
 but 1t does not help matters any. IL
 says that "Mr. Oury's every move is re-
 corded m the proceedings of Congress, ''
 winch IS very true of his official acts.
 From a very careful perusal of the col
 umns of the Congressional Record throughout the last session of Con- gress, We find Mr. Oury's name men, tioned perhaps half dozen times, each time m the introduction of bill. which was read twice and referred to" a committee. There was certainly no as tonishing brilliancy in this perfunctory performance that Mir. Oury's friends should claim for him any especlal cred 1t. Had he labored with force and tact m the committees, and secured favor able consideration of his measures to their final enactment as laws, the career of the delegate might be said to be req sonably successful, but his failure to do more than introduce bills does not ex- actly rebound to his credit.
 The Democrat, however, We think, explains this apparent apathy on the part of NIT. Oury, and from what 1t says we must believe that the delegate was getting ready to go fishing, for that pa- per says that @he left no stone unturn- ed" etc, and he must certainly have been hunting angle worms for bait. He has not been given credit for so much energy and industry, and as hon. orable journalists we give him the ben eft Of this newly discovered evidence of his fitness to represent the people of the embryo state Of Arizona.

Church and Sinte in Fr nnce.

The disturbed relations between church and state Tn France-a matter now of loo years existence-have fresh manifestations every once in awhile. In the southern provinces, for instance. there have been of late outbreaks of violence against efforts of the Radicals to get all crucitixes and other symbols of religion removed from the court rooms and public hospitals. At Mines the head of a hospital removed picture with n sacred subject, and thereby al- most brought on a not. His act was inexcusable, since the attendants in that very hospital were Ithen, and are still, Sisters of the Roman Church. Through their energetic action the painting was restored. At Paris, too, where the Car dinal Archbishop has sought to erect a church on the summit of Montmartre, a bill has been proposed in the Chamber of Deputies forbidding the scheme. The prelates call on all good Christians to condemn the irrehyious practices of the Deputies, but the Radicals amOrg them in turn retort that this special church edifice was intended as a memorial of the regret of all Frenchmen of the RO- man faith for the establishment and maintenance of the republic; and they accordingly advised him to keep his mouth shut. These various acts are quite significant of the prevailing spirit of the different factions in France.
