A dispatch from Mr. Peter Tracy yesterday, is to the effect that his party to the Mammoth Cave had a glorious time of it. There was an immense crowd at the cave. Mr, Tracy will take out another excursion party on Tuesday next, for which parties in Memphis must secure tickets by seven o'clock Monday morning. As a manager our friend is without a rival. Jde is luted by nature to cater for men and women diffusiDC himself in such a way as to win the confidence and esteem of all he comes in contact with. This last ven ture of his to the Mammoth Cavo has surpassed his anticipations, and we pre' diet that he will be kept busy all sun mer as a guide to the Mammoth Cave. A banquet was given on Thursday evening by Brother Jjindstadt to the of ficers, members and visitors or jaem phis lodire. No. 6, of the order of the Knichts of Pythias, at the instance of the second installation of officers since their organization.

At a late hour the banquet broke up, to the regret of many, who had wives at home, in con sequence of which they had to leave the merry party. On next Monday nicht Coeur deLion lodge, No. IS, install their officers, and, it is said, will give a ban quet to equal that of No. 6. Among tho most delightful events of tho season was the excursion of the Helping-Han- d club of the First Baptist church on the steamer James D. Parker last night. This popular steamer arrived here at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and Captain Wise, being notified that the Helping-Han- d club expected to take charge or his boat, engaged a Hundred laborers, and had the freight discharged at the appointed hour, eight o'clock. In addition to the members of the Helping- - Hand club, a large number or ladies, children and gentlemen also boarded the steamer, which, at half-pa- st eight o'clock, shoved out and proceeded several miles up tho river, captain iion wise, witn his characteristic politeness and graceful suavity, gave his personal attention to the excursionists, and rendered the trip one of great enjoyment. In his efforts he was pleasantly assisted by Mr. Kel-eo- e, and every one of the many who were on the James D. Parker last night will cherish an appreciative recollection of the delightful entertainment they en joyed, captain wise'a liberality m ten dering the use of his steamer is indeed commendabie.and we feel confident that this laudable act of generosity on his part will not be forgotten by the Helping Hand club and those who were on the excursion. Captain Wise has our thanks for an invitation t be among the merry crowd, and we regret that duties denied us the indulgence or eucn a pleasure. There was a shooting-matc- h yester day afternoon on the island across the river, between an Irish and German team, under the respective leaderships of James Keuly, county court clerk. and Fred Schaper, city at the distance of three hundred yards Thero were seven "shootiste" on either side, irrespective of the captains.

Paris Intelligencer: The new crop of wheat is beginning to come in, and is now commanding one dollar per bushel. The grain is large and full, and haa much less smut than ;was expected be- fore the harvest. Brownlow's Knoxville Chronicle: The colored people of Memphis celebrated the Fourth with a big celebration, and were addressed by Generals Pillow and Forrest. Surely the day of reconcilia tion has fully come. Franklin Review and Journal: Six hundred and forty thousand bushels of wheat is the guess as to our wheat crop. Three hundred and forty thousand will be sold. This will bring in enough money to loosen up things mightily hereabouts. Lebanon Herald: Half the newspa- pers in Tennesste have reprinted a par- agraph from the Brooklyn Argus, in which Fitzhugh Lee is called "the Du- - THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL-SATUEDA- Y, JULY 10, 1875.

We learn, lrom numerous inquiries made on Monday, that the yield is greatly over an aver- age, and the crop, owing to increased acreage, will be much the largest ever raised In the county. The agricultural philosopher of the Winchester Homo Journal says: "Frank- lin county was the only county in the State of Tennessee that made good crops lastyearand had corn for sale. At least, this wai the case so far as we oould learn." How far could you learn? As far as Baker in the Dresden Democrat? Franklin Review and Journal: Mr. Jones, a member of the last legislature, in a late number of the Woodbury Press, in Cannon county, gives his reasons in full for voting for Andrew Johnson for tho eenatorship and for the dog law.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. How to Have a Cotton Mill. Editors Appeal you have very properly been urging strongly the im- portance of erecting cotton manufacto- ries in Memphis. You say truly that Memphis can never have a growth to make her a citv much larger than she now is while her only business is buying and selling cotton. This proposition has been so well argued that I presume it is regarded as fully demonstrated. Now, it seems to me the next thing in order is to sutrirast some practical mode of a& comnlishins what all agree is so vital and important for the prosperity of our city. Let me begin with my mite of suegestion. Let a few of our solid men unite as partners, or as a Btock company, To guard against unnecessary risk or loss, let them select an agent who shall visit Lowell or Lawrence, and put him self in communication with intelligent and experienced manufacturers. From them he could get reliable estimates of cost, best plan of buildings, proper kind of machinery, and all the minute details necessary for in augurating such an enterprise without the bund and foolish risKS sometimes incurred by men who undertake to do hie thinars in a business of which they know nothing, but which thej and their mends regard them muy compe- tent to manage, because they have been good generals or eloquent stump-spea- ii era. It is important that the first expe- riment that Memphis attempts should b9 successful, so that discouragement and disuust should not prevent that laudable effort and energy which we all want to see put forth to save our city from the decadence which so many are prophesying. Will anything come of this suggestion of.mine? If I can rc ceive any encouratrament I will devote a week's time to the labor of perfecting such an organization, for such a purpose as I suggest. Why delay an hour? The attempt will cost nothing. Let us have something besides talk. sat. Dyer Conuly Crops. From an Occasional Correspondent.! Dyer County, Tenn., July 6. I have taken some pains to form a correct esti mate of the wheat crop of this county, and it may be of some interest to the business men of your city to know that when the Paducah and Memphis rail road is finished they are within & few hours run of a county that will produce, this season, not less than three hundred thousand oushels of wheat, one-ha- lf or more of which is a surplus, and could be shipped to your city if you had mills to manufacture it into hour. JNow, would it not be well enough for some of your large capitalists to erect hue nouring mills in your city, that would consume an the surplus wheat grown so near you, and by so doing encourage the growth of wneatin this section instead of cotton? For the want of a market near at home we ara compelled to ship our wheat north, where it win be manufactured into flour at a profit and shipped back to you to supply your trade and feed the people where it is raised. Crops of every kind were never eo promising, and, if the season continues favorable, all hands win have to erect new barns anu cribs to store their corn and grain crops Hurry up our railroad, as your city is losing a line trade for the want of the road from this county. TOE TIPTON BONDS. Oder of Councillor Ganlt Committee Appointed to Consider It. The Covington Hecord, of yesterday, says of the Tipton county court: " Ac- cording to the call of the chairman there was quite a full attendance of the justices of the county on Monday, and also a considerable number of private citizens, all ansious to learn what the grave and important matters to be sub- mitted to the consideration of the court mieht be. It was generally understood that some offer of compromise would be made to the court by the holders of the Tipton county railroad bonds, of the suits now pending in the Federal court. There was a general disappointment on finding that neitner uanu nor jtner- - idge, nor tho attorneys for the bond- holders were present. Still it was sup- posed that the matter would be up in such a way at least as to allow all the Magnus Apollos of the court to blow off. The chairman announced that he had a let- ter from Mr. Gantr, stating that a re- sponsible agent of the bondholders had given assurance that a compromise could be eff ected at seventy-fiv- e cents on the dollar if the court would show a dis- position to entertain it. The matter was considered in a very piuueui auu careful manner by the court, and a com- mittee consisting of the chairman, and Esquires J. V.aioore, u. a. xiggiestou and N. W. Baptist, was appointed to confer with the agent of the bondhold- ers, to ascertain the best terms of com- promise they would offer. It is sup- posed the court will not adj'ourn uniil next Tuesday week, that the committee may discharge their duty and report to the present term, and the day above mr.ntinnrd waa indicated as the time when the report of the committee would be heard."

The petition of the Martmoth com press company for tho privilege of crow- ing Calhoun street with a rtilway track connecting their establishment with the track of the Mississippi and Tennessee railway, with recommendation from the Improvement committeo that the prayer be grantetl, and report adopted by coun cil, was d in. A reconsid- eration of the voto was had in order to allow Superintendent Burke, of the M.s-sissip- pi and Tennessee railway, to ex- plain that the railway company would take up the track at any time to con- form to grade that might be established by the city engineer. The action of council was then concurred in. The resolution to repair the streets and alleys as suggested by the board of health passed third reading. Also the resolution authorizing the repair of the sidewalks and fioord of the market-house- s; also the resolution authorizing the construction of a fountain in Court square.

Couucilmen Tuth- er, Vance aud Ryan were appointed a committee to consider the received bids for removing dead animals. The dog ordinance passed second reading. It taxes female cauines two dollars, and male canines one dollar. A resolution from Councilman Moores asking the appointment of a committee of three to ascertain and remove all sur 0 plus lamps, was referred to the light and lamp committee. Councilman Cochran asked that the action on the subject of the Mammoth compress company be reconsidered. Adopted, and on motion of Councilman Cochran the council consented to hear Superintendent Burke, of the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad. After referring to the proposed contract with the com- press company to ship cotton, he said .that, on condition of getting the right of way to the compress, he would enter into the contract. Mr. Burke then read the petition which he presented to tho council last March, at which time Mr. Montgomery, of tho compress company, was negotiating for the purchase of a site for the compress. The report of tho committeo recommending the petition was adopted, and the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad entered into a con- tract with Mr. Montgomery to run a track into tho yard of the compress com- pany. He discussed and agreed with the city engineer as to the liiling of the lot so as to cross South street. After grading their portion of the lot, Mr. Montgomery having been put to gret expense in locating his press and filling up his lot, the city council required them to build up to the established grade. He had heard that it was inti- mated that they were defeating dray- men's interests in compressing cotton. The Union compress company here would not compress cottou as cheap a9 he could have it done in New Orleans. Out of thirty-fiv- e thousand bales of cot- ton shipped to New Orleans and Europe all but six thousand bales had been com- pressed there, the charge being but fifty-fiv- e cents a bale. It was not to the road's interest to compress here. It would not conflict with the interest of draymen, ns they .would only haul it to the compress, whereas they now haul it to the depot. Over ninety per cent, of tho travel along the street they wished to cros9 was to and from the depot. Councilman Cochran said that since the council had granted the petition, Mr, Montgomery had expended lily thousand dollars for machinery in erect- ing a compress and purchasing ground there. It"wa3 inexpedient to comply with the present grade, as tbay would have to raise the street six feet. He thought the company should bo allowed to run the track across the street on the conditions granted in tho former pe- tition. Mr. Burke said that he was willing to give a guarantee to change the track when the city should demand it, to tho required grade. It had been intimated that no one in the city was authorized to make a pledge fo&tho road. A ma jority of the board of directors of the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad resi- ded in this city, and would give tho guarantee. Mr. Montgomery joined Mr. Burke in the guarantee. The council then adopted the repoitof the committee to grant'the petition on condition that the railroad and com- press company Bgree to remove the track when the city desired. Thomas Brennan's petition was a' led. Councilman Camp offered a res : that the committee on improve request the owner of the Adam , : stationhouse to repair that buildiu,-- . Un motion or councilman cochru. the chief of the fire department was in structed to pump out the water in the sinks in Center alley, in rear of Moaby, Munt s uo.'a storehouse. Adjourned to three o'clock next Wednesday afternoon. Joint Keshlon. At tho call of the mayor, the council and board of aldermen went into a joint session. Mayor Loague said the object of the session wa to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of City Attorney Han- - sou. Under the present charter, with a slight amendment, he understood that they now elect lor two years instead of live months (tho unexpired term). Me would oiisr no suggestion upon this sub ject, though he would say that they might adopt ordinances looking to the salary sf tho city attorney. If they de- sired to postpone action until they could amend the ordinance he would appoint Chancellor Walker city attorney pro tern. Oa motion the election of a city attor ney was postponed until the council could decide if it had power to elect a city attorney. On motion of Alderman Dent, Coun- - cilmen Camp, Vance and Ryan were ap- pointed a committee to see if the coun- cil had power to elect from the present time a city attorney for two years. Tho joint session then adjourned. DEATH TO INSECTS A VALUABLE SQDIRT-GD- Yesteiday morning a strantrer dropped into one of our restaurants, and exhib- ited a small tin squirt-gu- n, which he stated was charged with a powder that would destroy all kinds of insects. He was shown a crack behind the counter where the genial roach was seen to re- tire after his raids. Ho leveled his nun aud fired thefine powder, which is rather odoriferous. In a minute the counter was covered with roaches, big and little, old and young, from the grand-dadd- y to the baby. Such a piglit we never saw before. In a little while there was not a roach left to tell the tale. SOTICE TO OUR TATRONS. Office Water Cojii-ant- , July 10, 1ST5.

Louis Times, hth.l It was the Intention of Sheriff Ander- son to embark yesterday with General Waddy Thompson on lwnttl tho City of Chester for Memphis, but his departure was prevented by reason of the follow- ing writ of habeas corpwt, which was served on him at ten o'clock yesterday morning: BTATE Of MlSSOfRI, COVNTY OI"T. Loots. George R. M'Nabb respectfully Mates that Waddy Thompson is restrained of his liberty at the city of Ht. Louis by one C. F. Anderson, and to the best kuowl edge and belief of affiant the true cause of said petition 11 a pretended miuisi tion of the governor of Tennessee, upon which warrant has been issued and said Thompson arrested by said Anderson in Cole county, in this Stato; and that Haid Thompson sued out a writ of habeas corpus in said county, and that pending Hearing tnereon earn Anuerson uniaw fully kidnapped and brought eaid Thompson to this county; that no ap plication save as abovo stated haa been made for a writ of habeas corpus; that by reason of said Thompson being re moved or concealed no copy of the war rant, order or process, by virtue of which said arrest purports to be made, can be obtained: affiant therefore prays that writ of habeas corpus issue to inquire into the cause of said confinement, and for all proper relief, geo. k. m'nabb. In compliance with this writ, Sheriff' Anderson appeared in court, and, at ins request, the matter was continued till Friday mornint,. Mr. Anderson gave as a reason for asking the continuance, that he desired to have a trauscript of tho papers filed in the case at Jefferson City, in order to show that the allegations of the writ were untrue. He especially de nied that General Tnompson was taken from Jefferson City pending a hearing on tho writ of habeas corpus, Lut states mat tne legality or ft is arrest nad been fully determined by Judge Miller before ho left with his prisoner. It appears that tho writ of habeas corpus served on sheriff" Anderson had been obtained on Tuesday, and that it had been the inten tion to serve it on his arrival in the city, ror tins purpose, on Tuesday evening, Mr. M'Nabb and an officer went out on the Missouri Pacific road, and boarded the train on which were Sheriff Ander- son and General Thompson. The mat ter of spryincr the writ was discussed by tho party, and it was finally agreed that it should not be eerved. It was with this understanding that the par- ties separated thnt evening, and Mr, Anderson was somewhat surprised at the unexpected turn of affairs yesterday morning. General Thompson states that at the time the cases against him, pending in tho circuit court at Memohia, were called the second time, he was sick and unable to appear, but that bo pre- sented to the court by his attorneys a certihcate of his illness, signed by Drs, Thompson, Moore and Allen, of Jelt'er son City. Their respectability and standing as physicians was certified to by tho circuit ciers 01 uoie county and Governor Hardin. On this a continu- ance was aked, which the court refused to grant, and Sheriff Anderson was sent for him. General Thompson further states that he is willing to go to Mem- phis and stand his trial, but does not want to ba taken there as a prisoner. He speaks kindly of Sheriff' Anderson and his treatment of him, and attaches no blame to him, a3 he believes he is conscientiously endeavoring to perform a disagreeable duty. General Thompson says that after testing the virtue 01 the writ he proposes to go to Memphis, whether freed or not. VIRGINIA JIIIilTAKY IXSTITUTK. Commencement Week as Seen by a For- mer Student Dissintniaheu Lulud Mntes Army OilicerN I'reseiii. From an Occasional Correspondent. Lexisgtoii, Va., July 6. 'Twas Monday rnorniug, June 2S, the first day of commencement week. Scaree'yhad the sleepy cadet been aroused from his dream of absent ones, and the hoptj of a speedy return to hia distant hom-.-- , by the sound of tho reveille, when ths god of day, a3 he threw his brilliant rays on our beautiful little valley, receiving his usual greeting from cur signal-gu- n in front of the barracks then followtd the usual routine of cadet life, interspersed with a few visits from our frieiiU3 (I mean visitors) in Lexington. At length the time for review drew near, tho pa- rade ground in the meantime having be- come crowded with ladies arid cadets, who were prepared to lose their hearts, if such was not already the ease (I mean the cadets, of course), when much to the surprise and regret of every one, heavy clouds were seen approaching from the south, and in a few minutes the rain commencing, every one was seeking shelter, eome of our lady friends much out of humor over a wet silk dresa or ruined bonnet; however, parade was postponed until next morning, when it passed off' very pleasantly, tho corps sus- taining and, with some, even increas- ing its reputation for unsurpassable mil- itary training and discipline. On the next night our literary societies gave their final celebration, which was at- tended by many distinguished visitors, there' being among those who honored our entire commencement with their presenoo Professor Charles Davis, of West Point, the distinguished mathe- matician; General Bmry, commanding at Old Point, and Major-Gener- Al-vor- d, paymaster general United States army, the latter on the next night de- livering before the societies an address, hia subject for discourse beinz "True Science, as Opposed to Scepticism," which was not only interesting, but beneficial to those who attended. 80 we pass on, not havinc sufficient time to even mention the many attrac tions of our commencement, which made everything so pleasant to our many visitors, especially the youcg la- dies, in particular our ball, the master- piece of the commencement; and as tho guests made their first entrance into the hall, they were struck by the great beauty of tho decorations, and more than once its praise was heaid from the lips of fair ladies. The front of the band-stan- d was supported on two large brass cannons, which were decorated with flowers; there also being four other pieces arranged in the corners of the hall, each having two State flags partly wound around them; swords were crossed, under the gaa-jet- s, a number of muakets being placed on and bayo- nets suspended from the chandeliers, each by their reflective power increasing tho brilliant light. Ah of the southern States, as well as Jingland, Franco and Be'gium.were represented by their re- spective flags, as each held representa- tives with us. At tho upper end of the hall, with jets of gas, was formed the let- ters V. M. I.; at the lower end class seventy-five- , the ball being given, as usual, by tho corps to the graduating class; and just over the hand, formedin the earns manner, was the words "Auld Lang Syne." A splendid baud added much to the enjoyment of the evening. All we lacked wai a few of our Mem- phis bo! lea, and then our happiness would have been complete. I have g'ven you but a fniot idea, in this description, of tho commencement exercises of 1870, which id said to have been the most brilliani since the war. NOTICE.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

How to Have a Cotton Mill.Editors Appeal you have very

properly been urging strongly the im-portance of erecting cotton manufacto-ries in Memphis. You say truly thatMemphis can never have a growth tomake her a citv much larger than shenow is while her only business is buyingand selling cotton. This propositionhas been so well argued thatI presume it is regarded asfully demonstrated. Now, it seemsto me the next thing in order isto sutrirast some practical mode of a&comnlishins what all agree is so vitaland important for the prosperity of ourcity. Let me begin with my mite ofsuegestion. Let a few of our solid menunite as partners, or as a Btock company,To guard against unnecessary risk orloss, let them select an agent who shallvisit Lowell or Lawrence, and put himself in communication with intelligentand experienced manufacturers. Fromthem he could get reliable estimatesof cost, best plan of buildings,proper kind of machinery, andall the minute details necessary for inaugurating such an enterprise withoutthe bund and foolish risKS sometimesincurred by men who undertake to dohie thinars in a business of which theyknow nothing, but which thej and theirmends regard them muy compe-tent to manage, because they have beengood generals or eloquent stump-spea- ii

era. It is important that the first expe-riment that Memphis attempts shouldb9 successful, so that discouragementand disuust should not prevent thatlaudable effort and energy which we allwant to see put forth to save our cityfrom the decadence which so many areprophesying. Will anything come ofthis suggestion of.mine? If I can rcceive any encouratrament I will devote aweek's time to the labor of perfectingsuch an organization, for such a purposeas I suggest. Why delay an hour? Theattempt will cost nothing. Let us havesomething besides talk. sat.

Dyer Conuly Crops.From an Occasional Correspondent.!

Dyer County, Tenn., July 6. I havetaken some pains to form a correct estimate of the wheat crop of this county,and it may be of some interest to thebusiness men of your city to know thatwhen the Paducah and Memphis railroad is finished they are within & fewhours run of a county that will produce,this season, not less than three hundredthousand oushels of wheat, one-ha- lf ormore of which is a surplus, and could beshipped to your city if you had mills tomanufacture it into hour. JNow, wouldit not be well enough for some of yourlarge capitalists to erect hue nouringmills in your city, that would consumean the surplus wheat grown so near you,and by so doing encourage the growth ofwneatin this section instead of cotton?For the want of a market near at homewe ara compelled to ship our wheatnorth, where it win be manufacturedinto flour at a profit and shipped backto you to supply your trade and feed thepeople where it is raised. Crops of everykind were never eo promising, and, ifthe season continues favorable, all handswin have to erect new barns anu cribsto store their corn and grain cropsHurry up our railroad, as your city islosing a line trade for the want of theroad from this county.

TOE TIPTON BONDS.

Oder of Councillor Ganlt CommitteeAppointed to Consider It.

The Covington Hecord, of yesterday,says of the Tipton county court: " Ac-cording to the call of the chairmanthere was quite a full attendance of thejustices of the county on Monday, andalso a considerable number of privatecitizens, all ansious to learn what thegrave and important matters to be sub-

mitted to the consideration of the courtmieht be. It was generally understoodthat some offer of compromise would bemade to the court by the holders of theTipton county railroad bonds, of thesuits now pending in the Federal court.There was a general disappointment onfinding that neitner uanu nor jtner--idge, nor tho attorneys for the bond-holders were present. Still it was sup-posed that the matter would be up in sucha way at least as to allow all the MagnusApollos of the court to blow off. Thechairman announced that he had a let-

ter from Mr. Gantr, stating that a re-

sponsible agent of the bondholders hadgiven assurance that a compromisecould be eff ected at seventy-fiv- e cents onthe dollar if the court would show a dis-

position to entertain it. The matterwas considered in a very piuueui auucareful manner by the court, and a com-

mittee consisting of the chairman, andEsquires J. V.aioore, u. a. xiggiestouand N. W. Baptist, was appointed toconfer with the agent of the bondhold-ers, to ascertain the best terms of com-

promise they would offer. It is sup-

posed the court will not adj'ourn uniilnext Tuesday week, that the committeemay discharge their duty and report tothe present term, and the day abovemr.ntinnrd waa indicated as the timewhen the report of the committee wouldbe heard."

Councilman Cochran asked that theaction on the subject of the Mammothcompress company be reconsidered.Adopted, and on motion of CouncilmanCochran the council consented to hearSuperintendent Burke, of the Mississippiand Tennessee railroad. After referringto the proposed contract with the com-press company to ship cotton, he said

.that, on condition of getting the rightof way to the compress, he would enterinto the contract. Mr. Burke then readthe petition which he presented to thocouncil last March, at which time Mr.Montgomery, of tho compress company,was negotiating for the purchase of asite for the compress. The report of thocommitteo recommending the petitionwas adopted, and the Mississippi andTennessee railroad entered into a con-tract with Mr. Montgomery to run atrack into tho yard of the compress com-pany. He discussed and agreed withthe city engineer as to the liiling of thelot so as to cross South street. Aftergrading their portion of the lot, Mr.Montgomery having been put to gretexpense in locating his press and fillingup his lot, the city council requiredthem to build up to the establishedgrade. He had heard that it was inti-mated that they were defeating dray-men's interests in compressing cotton.The Union compress company herewould not compress cottou as cheap a9he could have it done in New Orleans.Out of thirty-fiv- e thousand bales of cot-ton shipped to New Orleans and Europeall but six thousand bales had been com-pressed there, the charge being but fifty-fiv- e

cents a bale. It was not to theroad's interest to compress here. Itwould not conflict with the interest ofdraymen, ns they .would only haul it tothe compress, whereas they now haul itto the depot. Over ninety per cent, oftho travel along the street they wishedto cros9 was to and from the depot.

Councilman Cochran said that sincethe council had granted the petition,Mr, Montgomery had expended lilythousand dollars for machinery in erect-ing a compress and purchasing groundthere. It"wa3 inexpedient to complywith the present grade, as tbay wouldhave to raise the street six feet. Hethought the company should bo allowedto run the track across the street on theconditions granted in tho former pe-tition.

Mr. Burke said that he was willing togive a guarantee to change the trackwhen the city should demand it, to thorequired grade. It had been intimatedthat no one in the city was authorizedto make a pledge fo&tho road. A majority of the board of directors of theMississippi and Tennessee railroad resi-ded in this city, and would give thoguarantee.

Mr. Montgomery joined Mr. Burke inthe guarantee.

The council then adopted the repoitofthe committee to grant'the petition oncondition that the railroad and com-press company Bgree to remove the trackwhen the city desired.

Thomas Brennan's petition was a' led.Councilman Camp offered a res :

that the committee on improverequest the owner of the Adam , :

stationhouse to repair that buildiu,-- .

Un motion or councilman cochru.the chief of the fire department was instructed to pump out the water in thesinks in Center alley, in rear of Moaby,Munt s uo.'a storehouse.

Adjourned to three o'clock nextWednesday afternoon.

Joint Keshlon.At tho call of the mayor, the council

and board of aldermen went into a jointsession.

Mayor Loague said the object of thesession wa to fill the vacancy caused bythe resignation of City Attorney Han- -sou. Under the present charter, witha slight amendment, he understood thatthey now elect lor two years instead oflive months (tho unexpired term). Mewould oiisr no suggestion upon this subject, though he would say that theymight adopt ordinances looking to thesalary sf tho city attorney. If they de-sired to postpone action until they couldamend the ordinance he would appointChancellor Walker city attorney protern.

Oa motion the election of a city attorney was postponed until the councilcould decide if it had power to elect acity attorney.

On motion of Alderman Dent, Coun- -cilmen Camp, Vance and Ryan were ap-pointed a committee to see if the coun-cil had power to elect from the presenttime a city attorney for two years. Thojoint session then adjourned.

Ilclny for hlierlir An-Iaro-

at. Louis Times, hth.lIt was the Intention of Sheriff Ander-

son to embark yesterday with GeneralWaddy Thompson on lwnttl tho City ofChester for Memphis, but his departurewas prevented by reason of the follow-ing writ of habeas corpwt, which wasserved on him at ten o'clock yesterdaymorning:

BTATE Of MlSSOfRI, COVNTY OI"T. Loots.George R. M'Nabb respectfully Mates

that Waddy Thompson is restrained ofhis liberty at the city of Ht. Louis by oneC. F. Anderson, and to the best kuowledge and belief of affiant the true causeof said petition 11 a pretended miuisition of the governor of Tennessee, uponwhich warrant has been issued and saidThompson arrested by said Andersonin Cole county, in this Stato; and thatHaid Thompson sued out a writ of habeascorpus in said county, and that pendingHearing tnereon earn Anuerson uniawfully kidnapped and brought eaidThompson to this county; that no application save as abovo stated haa beenmade for a writ of habeas corpus; thatby reason of said Thompson being removed or concealed no copy of the warrant, order or process, by virtue of whichsaid arrest purports to be made, can beobtained: affiant therefore prays thatwrit of habeas corpus issue to inquireinto the cause of said confinement, andfor all proper relief, geo. k. m'nabb.

In compliance with this writ, Sheriff'Anderson appeared in court, and, at insrequest, the matter was continued tillFriday mornint,. Mr. Anderson gave asa reason for asking the continuance, thathe desired to have a trauscript of thopapers filed in the case at Jefferson City,in order to show that the allegations ofthe writ were untrue. He especially denied that General Tnompson was takenfrom Jefferson City pending a hearingon tho writ of habeas corpus, Lut statesmat tne legality or ft is arrest nad beenfully determined by Judge Miller beforeho left with his prisoner. It appearsthat tho writ of habeas corpus served onsheriff" Anderson had been obtained onTuesday, and that it had been the intention to serve it on his arrival in the city,ror tins purpose, on Tuesday evening,Mr. M'Nabb and an officer went out onthe Missouri Pacific road, and boardedthe train on which were Sheriff Ander-son and General Thompson. The matter of spryincr the writ was discussed bytho party, and it was finally agreed thatit should not be eerved. It was withthis understanding that the par-ties separated thnt evening, and Mr,Anderson was somewhat surprised atthe unexpected turn of affairs yesterdaymorning. General Thompson statesthat at the time the cases against him,pending in tho circuit court at Memohia,were called the second time, he was sickand unable to appear, but that bo pre-sented to the court by his attorneys acertihcate of his illness, signed by Drs,Thompson, Moore and Allen, of Jelt'erson City. Their respectability andstanding as physicians was certified toby tho circuit ciers 01 uoie county andGovernor Hardin. On this a continu-ance was aked, which the court refusedto grant, and Sheriff Anderson was sentfor him. General Thompson furtherstates that he is willing to go to Mem-phis and stand his trial, but does notwant to ba taken there as a prisoner.He speaks kindly of Sheriff' Andersonand his treatment of him, and attachesno blame to him, a3 he believes he isconscientiously endeavoring to performa disagreeable duty. General Thompsonsays that after testing the virtue 01 thewrit he proposes to go to Memphis,whether freed or not.

Commencement Week as Seen by a For-mer Student Dissintniaheu Lulud

Mntes Army OilicerN I'reseiii.

From an Occasional Correspondent.Lexisgtoii, Va., July 6. 'Twas

Monday rnorniug, June 2S, the first dayof commencement week. Scaree'yhadthe sleepy cadet been aroused from hisdream of absent ones, and the hoptj ofa speedy return to hia distant hom-.-- , bythe sound of tho reveille, when ths godof day, a3 he threw his brilliant rays onour beautiful little valley, receiving hisusual greeting from cur signal-gu- n infront of the barracks then followtd theusual routine of cadet life, interspersedwith a few visits from our frieiiU3 (Imean visitors) in Lexington. At lengththe time for review drew near, tho pa-

rade ground in the meantime having be-

come crowded with ladies arid cadets,who were prepared to lose their hearts, ifsuch was not already the ease (I meanthe cadets, of course), when much to thesurprise and regret of every one, heavyclouds were seen approaching from thesouth, and in a few minutes the raincommencing, every one was seekingshelter, eome of our lady friends muchout of humor over a wet silk dresa orruined bonnet; however, parade waspostponed until next morning, when itpassed off' very pleasantly, tho corps sus-taining and, with some, even increas-ing its reputation for unsurpassable mil-itary training and discipline. On thenext night our literary societies gavetheir final celebration, which was at-tended by many distinguished visitors,there' being among those who honoredour entire commencement with theirpresenoo Professor Charles Davis, ofWest Point, the distinguished mathe-matician; General Bmry, commandingat Old Point, and Major-Gener- Al-vor- d,

paymaster general United Statesarmy, the latter on the next night de-livering before the societies an address,hia subject for discourse beinz "TrueScience, as Opposed to Scepticism,"which was not only interesting, butbeneficial to those who attended.80 we pass on, not havinc sufficienttime to even mention the many attractions of our commencement, whichmade everything so pleasant to ourmany visitors, especially the youcg la-dies, in particular our ball, the master-piece of the commencement; and as thoguests made their first entrance into thehall, they were struck by the greatbeauty of tho decorations, and morethan once its praise was heaid from thelips of fair ladies. The front of theband-stan- d was supported on two largebrass cannons, which were decoratedwith flowers; there also being four otherpieces arranged in the corners of thehall, each having two State flags partlywound around them; swords werecrossed, under the gaa-jet- s, a numberof muakets being placed on and bayo-nets suspended from the chandeliers,each by their reflective power increasingtho brilliant light. Ah of the southernStates, as well as Jingland, Franco andBe'gium.were represented by their re-spective flags, as each held representa-tives with us. At tho upper end of thehall, with jets of gas, was formed the let-ters V. M. I.; at the lower end classseventy-five- , the ball being given, asusual, by tho corps to the graduatingclass; and just over the hand, formedinthe earns manner, was the words "AuldLang Syne." A splendid baud addedmuch to the enjoyment of the evening.All we lacked wai a few of our Mem-phis bo! lea, and then our happiness wouldhave been complete. I have g'ven youbut a fniot idea, in this description, oftho commencement exercises of 1870,which id said to have been the mostbrilliani since the war.
