speaks Out loud I'm Regard 20
the Detective Condition of the
TelegraPhic Dispatches.

A meeting Of the members of the
Cotton Exchange occurred this fore.
noon at the Exchange rooms, and il
was largely attended. The object OF
1t was to consider the condition of the
telegraph company and the unreliable
as we'll as irregular character of the
market kilograms received since the
strike of the operators q week ago.
Speeches we're made By Messrs.
Hampton and Hawks, deprecatipg the
situation. Mr.. John s. loot presided
at the meeting, and the following res
olutions were unanimously carried:
To 4. Il. Eekert, Esq., General Manager
w. q. I. Co., New York CITY;
RESOLVED, That while we depre.
cate the present position Of the vari-
Gus telegraph lines of the country,
and that OF the Western Union in par
ticular, it is nevertheless true that the
general interests Of the Memphis Cot.
ton Exchange, and also the interests
OF its various members are seriously
imperilled by the absence Of regular
communication over your lines; the
effect being not only to retard bust
ness, but also to seriously imperil the
interests Of the Exchange and more
seriously that Of its members in their
cotton interests at various points in
the United States and in Europe.
Resolved, That this Exchange and
its members cannot continue their
legitimate business under present cir
cumstances.
Resolved, That this Exchange COM
municate with 7. f. Eekert, Esq,
Representative Manager Of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, with
these reOlutions attached, and request
that a speedy resumption be made of
telegraphic communication through
out the length and breadth of their
lines.
The meeting then adjourned.

The County Court.

At the meeting yesterday the Ooun.
ty Court allowed Clerk H. B. Cullen
$3.50 for making out eight tax books
for the present year. A bill of ex-
penses for Judge Greer's court,
amounting to 1888, was rejected, all
but 35c allowed for gavel. This bill
in detail included $l8 for keeping Jail
books and accounts, $40 for stationery,
S24 for the Judges private Office rent
$l4.35 for ice, SIC for code and "a.
notations. 1886 for Grape and 35c for a
gavel. The idea Of the County Court
is that the Criminal Court Clerk
should defray the expenses of this
Office. The committee on errers and
resolutions, including j. G.. Hand
werker, j. e. Oliver and j. 7. Lawler
report that County Trustee "A. J..
Harris is entitled to a credit of $63l, :
573 so and 439 polls for the year 1882.
This report is made after careful ex-
animation and comparison with the
Sheriff's returns and the orders of the
court. The County Court passed a
resolution complimenting Trustee
Harris on his promptness in furnishing
without delay or inconvenience reports
of errors and insolvencies. Hereto
fore work has required from six weeks
to two months of time for preparation.
Fifteen dollars was allowed George
Steele for building the galloWs for
Robert Wilson. The Court passed an
edict that hereafter all purchases or
outlay for account of the county must
be through written application of the
Chairman of the County Court, and
after investigation if, in his Judgment,
it is proper a requisition may be grant.
ed. Purchases by any other parties
will not be allowed by the Court.
The lien by mortgage of the county
on the Raleigh narrow gauge railroad,
acquired fourteen years ago, is to be
tOreclosed by the County Attorney.
The debt due the county has never
been paid, and it is not likely to be.
Suitable resolutions are to be pre-.
pared by Squires Galloway, Winters
