The committee of business men who
have the promotion of the New Orleans
Exposition in charge have called meet
ing OF the manufacturers and tradesmeD 81
the city, to be held at the Merchar...s' Ex-
change to-day, at o'clock I'm, for the
purpose of definitely determining what
is best to be done to secure for
Memphis local exhibit that shall fairly
and creditably represent the progress and
prosperity OF this city and all its best and
most wisely managed industries. What.
ever Consideration the subject shall receive
at this meeting, we suggest that it be kept
steadily in view that it would be bet
ter not to make any exhibit at
all. better that the name of Memphis
should not appear at the Exposition,
than that it fail in the least particular
to reach our own standard of Whist the
city IS and is to be. Whatever is done
should be done in the most credi.able
way and on a most generous scale.

Our Washington correspondent iaforms

it is a futile attempt, as the most cordial
understanding exists between them There
seems to be very strong feeling in certain
quarters in Washington against Mr.. Gar
lSnd. He is too frank and outspoken,
too set in his ways, too intent
upon his duty and upon the plain letter OF
the law to suit some people. He is not
fashionable, but too old-fashionel; he
does not drop readily into the social life oi
the capital, and cannot be made use of
He is not pliable. 1t is for these reasons
perhaps, that We hear so often o.
ruptures between the President and
the Attorney-Genersl. But as Mr.
Cleveland is himself a plain man
without veneer or varnish, we may
easily assume that there is a com
mon bond of common sense between
these high officials, that they understand
each other thoroughly and enjoy mutus
respect that no petty fsult-finding car
wear into or affect unfavorably. Beside
Mr.. Garland is a self-respecting man, anC

he did it was shown by the marks on Coss'
