special 70 the Oourier journal.


WASHINGTON, June 26. - Star
Route Dorsey is giving away the high
moral party in the New York Sun.
He is taking from the cedar chest
some of its treasures. | am reliably
informed that he will reserve his most
valued secrets until the campaign Of
1884. Dorsey will beautifully show
up how Indiana was carried. He
has got the documents to do that and
he will publish many of the great and
shining lights in the grand old party.
He will not forget to pay his respects
to them all, from President Arthur
down.
In the meantime General Brady is
standing by with a grip sack filed
with letters on the same subject.
The letters OF Levi p. Morton, pub.
lished to>day, though damaging and
disgraceful, are nothing in comparison
with those that will follow when the
time comes. Dorsey could sell his
private correspondence to day for a
fortune.

PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE,

MEMPHIS, TKsx,, June %. 1858. 7
The money market is exceedingly
quiet, aud 6nanciers are now chiefly
interested in the probable dividends
to be declared in the next few days.
1t is confidently stated that the In
surance companies, having been re-
markedly exempt from losses, will all
declare dividends, while the gas, the
compress and several institutions not
named, are also likely to join in the
same distribution. The Pioneer Cot
ton Mills have had uses for their sur.
plus in betterments, and will not be
likely to divide anything among stock
holders before next winter The
company, however, is in fine condi>
ton financially, and with proper care
the future earnings are likely to be
perfectly satisfactory to the share
holders. A considerable volume of
idle money is reported here, and in
all leading centers. Borrowers can
have their wants supplied at the
steady rate of 6 per cent.
Exchange in this market is quiet
and UNMARRIED. Bankers buy eastern
cotton bills at par to 10 discount, and
bills on New Orleans at to off, Drafts
on the latter are sold at par and on
New York at to premium.
Miscellaneous securities are quoted
as follows:

1t was bad enough before the decrease in

become simply fearful. IL is almost impos-

no excuse for this poor gas. We pay the

WARRENToN JUNCTION. Fauquier county,
Va, Nov. 27th.-A well known gentleman
from your city came down from Warrenton
this morning to take train So for Alexandria,
but finding it was reported to be 10 minutes
behind time, he walked over to the store,
which is for the want of 4 proper depot the
place passengers usually go to- and while
talking with the merchant on business the
train unexpectedly arrived, and as is usual
stopped at the watering tank, but not at the
telegraph office, the only depot and in try
ing to board the train while in motion, slip
ped and fell. Providentially lady who was
standing on the platform and near enough
to catch hold Of the gentleman pulled him
away from imminent danger of the car
wheels. 1t is to be hoped the railroad Of
ficials will carry out at an early day, what
is understood to be their purpose to build
here suitable passenger and freight depot
for the accommodation of the travelling public
and increasing neighhorhood business
