Union StOck.YarsIs,

A recent enterprise which, though in
augurated but a few weeks ago, has al
ready reached mammoth proportions and
bids fair to outstrip the best hopes of its
projectors, is the establishment of the
Union Stock-Yards and Fertilizer Com
pany, at the corner of McLemore avenue
and Horn Lake road. Few who have not
studied the subject and who have not
thought of the opening i'll Memphis for
such a business have any idea OF the
great results that may be obtained by a
company with q capital OF S250,000
handled by body OF gentlemen who fully
understand and appreciate the business in
all its bearings and its details-men who
have been in some way identified with all
the leading enterprises of this part of the
country, and who have already built up
fortunes by their steady application and
adaptability for carrying out large enter
prises. Col. Mack G. Pearce, one of the
foremost men of Memphis, and whose
name is familiar all over the valley, has
been made president, and will give the
business his entire time and attention.
His sterling worth, his unimpeached in
tegrity and his success in everything he
has undertaken win be sufficient guarantee
to the public, than which nothing better
could be desired. He never does any
thing by halves, and though the mere as
SOclatl0n OF MS name with movement Is
enough to give it weight, force and conf
dence, he viii, in this instance, devote his
time to carrying out what views he may
have, thus doubly assuring the success of
the enterprise.
A more opportune moment than the
present could not possibly have been
chosen. Its need was Just beginning to be
felt to pronounced extent, and the COM
pletion of the Kansas City railway raised
the need of union stock-yard to the
force of positive demand In addition
TO their immense sheds, the company is
erecting large and spacious buildings, for
the manufacture OF fertilizers, of which
the farmers OF the country are now so
much in need. The company also intend
erecting, at once, large slaughter and pack
inghouses, with the intention of making
Memphisa a central meat market.
The yards cover several acres Of ground,
the natural drainage is excellent, and they
are connected with all the railroads, and
are ready to transact the business in hand
in the most thorough and satisfactory
manner

pealed to Confederate soldiers here to
know whether, as this discussion had
progressed, instead of following the tri-
umphs OF Grant and the troubles of Por-
ter, their minds were not more properly
hack with the graves OF their brethren
and thousands OF friends, whether they did
not realize that this was the most anoma-
lous scene ever witnessed in the history Of
any land, where the vanquished were
called upon to cast the decisive weight in
the contested balance OF the victor. For
himself, he accepted the issue presented.
He turned from the scene. He saw perils
that are past once more come before him.
He felt once more as if he were back in the
bloody angle in the Wilderness, in amid
sulphurous smoke, the crater; and when
Union men were deciding who was their
Ajax lebanon, who their Achilles, and
who their Diomed, he stepped aside, and
his mind would wander off to where SOL
dier-sentries kept watch across the river,
and the Confederate dead were sleeping
among the trees.
Mr.. Horr then concluded, and Mr. VOL
fort then took the floor in support OF the
bill, but yielded to q motion for the COM
mittee to rise, and the Home adjourned.

intelligence Office at New aud Broad

sented that he was prominent physician
in a neighborfng town. He and his family
were about TO travel and they wanted to
have female travelling companion. Mr.
Wilson introduced all the girls in his place
The gentleman selected the prettiest and
engaged her at liberal wages. He told
her that she was not well enough dressed
and asked her to meet him in the even
ing, when he would purchase for her a
complete outfit. Then they would go to
the Park House, the fashionable hotel in
Newark, and remain over night and
they would proceed to his family in the
morning. Tie young girl was suspicious,
and told her friends about the peculiar
offer. They thought it was trap. They
watched all the evening near where the
girl was 10 meet the doctor, but he did
not appear. He had gone to another in
telligcnce office. There he repeated the
same story, and found a young girl less
suspicious than the first. She met him as
he proposed, and after telling her that
they could get the finery just as well in
the morning, induced her by false repre-
sentations to accompany him to his rooms
in the Park House. The next mornin ?
he got up and came down before she was
up, paid the bills and departed. The girl
wept and shrieked when she found she
had been trapped and deserted. She wait

in ifs Defense.
WASHINGTON, January e-Commission-
ar Albert Fink appeared before the House
Committee on Commerce and made an
argument - defense of the railroad pool
tng system. lie asserted that the people
received railroad transportation at low
rate and little profit To the roads. No ex-
tortion had been PractiCCd. In 1882, while
-he capital Of the railroads was s. 600, ,OO0.-
ClO, the net earnings were only $500 O00-
600. The boudholders thus received about
Hve Per cent. and stockholders about three
per cent. u might he said much of this
capital wSs watered stock, but even were
halt ci IL Watered, the interest received on
legitimate stock only amounted to six per
vent, which is not excessive interest The
charge for railroad transportation was verv
small, much smaller than profits charged
Icy middle men, who dealt in articles
transported. Congress ought not to allow
itself TO bc made the tool of middlemen.
The bill introduced bv Mr. Horr, provid-
ING Tor the establishment of a board of
commission OF interstate commerce, as a
bureau OF the Interior Department, was
the only practicable measure to be adopted
II thls time, and its enactment would be
satisfactory to the railroad interests, and
meet the approval OF all conservative peo-
pie, no such commission as that proposed
py the Reagan bill would come in contact
with shippers, hence it could not know
their wants. Interstate commerce bills
sought to prevent unreasonable and un-
Just rates, bat the sections proposing to do
JhIs were in themselves ur lust. II Con-
Ercss compelled roads to run at less, i.

the right To contiscate.

the Missouri Pacific Company in opposi-
lion to the interstate commerce bill. He
said that by the Reagan bill railways
would be placed at a disadvantage with
waterways in competition for the carry
ing business of the country. lie dwelt at
length on the services rendered in pro-
2resS to th" United States by railroads
bringing the producer nearer markets,
and pointed out the manner in which the
