TUE MEMORIAL PREPARF-ll ASD SEXT TO W ASHIM.TON. What the Cotten aid XercaanU Ex (bangeaaail City Authorities Think Necessary. The committdes appointed by the Cotton and Merchants' Kxchacg's', acting with the city author.tie have com pleted the work of formulatm a memorial to CoDgreea on the subject of wharf improvement at Mempbis, and the document waa forwarded to Washington last night. The memorial la copied in full below. To tha Senate and House of Representatives of tha Early-ninth Congress: Your memorialists, the city of Mem phis, Tenn., and the Cotton and Mer chants' Exchangee of laid city, in their corporate capacities, and repre senting the entire maritime commerce of the port ol Memphis, with its allied interests, respectfully invite attention to tbe fo'lowing fac's: That lor some years past the barbor of Memphis has been threatened with tbe complete impairment of its useful ness a, an essential adjunct to the navigation cf tbe M ississippi river and the commerce ol tbis port. That the necessity and public policy of aveiting this danger have been rec pgn'ied by Congress in the appiopria tions already maU for that purpose. That the wcrk heretofore done has demonstrated, by the test of experi ence, that its completion will be a satislactory to'.ution of the problem, sud will Rive this port a permanent wharf, with deep water tdjacent to it. That tbe portion o( the harbor front now lacking protection extends from Jefferson street to Beale street, and has been graded and paved by the city at great expense. Near its upper end and weakest art is the site of the United States Custom-House, just rmnnleted. with the west wall ot its inclosure within 300 feet of the high- water Hue. That recent changes of the river have greatly increased the strain on this unprotected part, so that it is to day in greater danger than ever be fore. That with our wbarf made safe from destruction, we still depend, for the continuance of deep water all along it, upon tbe completion and maint vnance of tbe work heretofore done at Hont- field Beud, above and opposite the city, which work is a part of the sys tematic improvement of tbe Memphis reach. That bv caving and sliding of the bluff, which has recently occurred, for a distance of 1000 feet below the ond of tha city whatf at Beale street, some of the most valuable manufacturing sites ol oar city are threatened with doit ruction. We have heretofore felt it our duty to formulate, in accordance with the above f;is!p, tha following rciolu'ions, and f.r their early and favorable con eideta'.ion. and for the granting of our several petitions your menioralists will ever pray. Whereas. The necessity of pratery ing the harbor of MeuipHs has been ic maimed bv Congress in the appro- piirtmns heretofore made and the woik a'reaay done; nan wnertna, wus i t u:..i.n.l nn.l; WOIK remniUH m nn unnuieuru iuuui tion from lack of snlliciont funds (o carry it to completion, and for thst reason the city of Memphis is still threatened with the destruction of its harbor front at)d the interruption of maritime ccuimerce by the ravages of the Mlasiesipr-i river; nl wherem, o'oeerva'ion of the work previously done, as to its permanence, tt ability, and the beneficial eHetti already ap parent, leaves no room for reasonable doubt that it will, if completed as recommended bv the engineer?, give permanence and security to the harbor front 01 me city oi ruempuo, auu maintain along it an ample depth of water; therefore be it Resolved, As the tense of the cor poration, a nd tbe Cotton and Mer chants Cficnnnges oi loeciiy oi iueui nhis. that Congress be respectfully but most earnestly requested to favorably consider the recommendations hersU f ire made by the engineers in charge for the completion of the revetment along the harbor lioat ot Mrnipnis, and in accordance wit;i the otlicial es timates now before them to appropri ate $75,000 for that purpose. And be. it further Reiotted, That it is of no less impor tance to the preservation of the har bor cf Memphis that the work already inaugurated for the improvement of Memphis reach be continued at least to tbe extant ol completing oiidtlior- onghly repairing tne revetment in llnpefield Bend, and in accordance with the estimates furnished by the engineer in charee. it is earnettly res' ommended that a sum of 175,000 be it ade avfci'able for this purpose, fi'hor in the general appropriation tor tne river or in such other way aslhe judg ment of Congress may dictate. And be it finally- Jhwlml, Thst the attention of Con press is "invited ti the threatened de struct:oa of valuable commercial prop erlies below the city wharf, and that they be requested lo consider tne pro priety of preventing such destruction by piovidiug for the continuation of the bank pretention to a point 100(1 feet below the end of the wharf, at a cost of $25,000.

Tfrinplii Tuenlrr. 1 ait night's audience at the Mem phis Theater was cultured, n-fjned and fashionable enough 1 have delighted Athenians theniFelves, and the mock (ireekfj who ttoj the boards certainly had reason snllicientti be highly com plimented. Mile. K!iea,M the ''Beau tiful Galatea," more than realized the h-pes of the audience, who shared with '"Pygmalion" his adiuirat on for the etitue of marble, grieved because the ;;ods refused to allow him more than one wife, and followed her with tesrful eyes, even after the brief love of the sculptor Lad expired into her niche behind the crimson cur'ainp. The part, eiceedirigly diflirtnit of analysis, was confi-tently carried out, and more; the artist imbued it with a grace, vividness and cbaim that sim ple training, devoid of native talent, couid never have accomplished. The opportunities for tflective posing of fered by tbe patt are unsurpassed in any other dramatic produtt'nn and not one whs negiecteu or even slighted, and what could have been more exquisite than her impassioned appeal to "Pygmalion" to bestow love where he bad given life ! It is to be regretted that words of equal praise cannot be bestowed upon those to whom was given the labor t f support ing the central role. Mini Adelaide FdzaUen alone waa am to hide self in the flowing robe of an Athenian wife. rhe poeeeeses dramatic power of the first order, a rich and musical voice, rare elocutionary talent, and a firm and manner admirably suitsd to tbe successful interpret rion of tho more ambitions, and, therefore, moio dangerous parts. In the opening act, whera love alone iiguts tier counte nance and train her f. o'ttpe, acd in the tragic CnVi of tt second, when torn with jealous fury, two scores wh'cbconu not have been better planned had a test of the versa tility of the actress been the object. Miss ritxnien gave tne most signal proof of ber ability. Mr. Boyd Pat nam's conception of "Pvgmalian" waa goid, and there were times when tbo audience waa unable to resist an ex pression of approval. It is allowable to take into consideration tbe fact that be hts been only six months on the stage, and that list night's ap pearance was hie flrjt attempt to por tray the part of the sculptor, it is not too much to say that he did it well. Taking it as it appeared, however, it wa crude, often weak, and lometimea deplorably out of tnne. Confidence, acd the strength which comet with it, waa lacking. Miss J una wneeler, also novice, is a very handsome woman, Imt not relatd to Pygmalion, thorgh Mvrine waa his sister. Mr. K.G. Wil son's "Chrysoa" wai very good. Mrs., Klla Wren was too pretty lor bis wiie, and the arrow with which Lucippe slew the doe should have rUin him. .4i iWiuuf Match will be given at mat inee and l'yjmnUon and Vulateti to. night.

How the (iood People or Tlpton Tllle Manage to Smile at Their Leisure. Five perambu'ating grogshops wero corraletl in Lake county Thursday and turned over to United States Marshal Freeman yesterday by his depn'y, Robeit N. Irvine. The four-mile law thraiisbei in all its pr.'titine gltry at Tipton ville, in the count v named, and the amount of "smiling' done there has been extraordinarily large. Tbe marshal received complaints from the temporaries people of Lake that there wai more diuakenneas, more hood lumism and more rottianism tban when saloons were permitted; that there were no places where I'quor was old, and yet barrels of it were con sumed every month. Tit's peculiar statement led to an investigation. It was discovered that whisky was shipped from Memphis in bottles, jugi and keg, and in considerable quan tity, to Lake county, but the mystery was bow it found its fiery way let j the throats of the people. The inves tigation was pursued, however, and finally resulted in the discovery that there were saloons in Lake county, about seven in all, and that they were nnlicensed, and moved about from place to place. No rent was paid, no shelter being necessary. There was no bar, and yet plenty r,f bottles. Tbe proprietors of these gin-mills carried their saloons abont with them. Their coatawere provided with multitudinous pockets, sewed in the lining, each pocket containing a tUsk. If a Tip tonvillian happened to be dry it waa only necessary for him to walk along until he met the most corpulent ap pearing man he ever saw, wink his eft eye twice and walk behind the nearest house. In a twinkling a llisk and a tin cup would be produced, two or three lingers swallowed, dime handed over, and tbe saloon moved on in search of other dry men. When the officers made their drive they bai to be in a hurry abont it, and even then one of the saloons es caped by jumping into a lake. Five others were captured. Their names are John Campbell, Nick Brady, M. Lloyd, Andy Moaring and John Bell. They are charged with violating the internal revenue law. .THE BANK QUESTION. HOW TIIEHWIiNOF N AMI V 1 1. IK KIOKI II AT IT, The BUI They Hnd lo tbe t'ana. rll ofTbitt t'lly In Do rauibxr. The action ot the City Council in dociding to place the public funds in the tank which wou'd agree to pay the large st interest, giving a snllicieut bond for eafe keeping, has called forth a great deal ot discussion, and was a leading topic en 'Change yester day. The measure has its friends and its opponents, and tbe reasons given on either tide ere alniCHt equally strong. On the one hand it is urged that it is dangerous to say thnt the de posit will be placed in the bank oiler lug the greatest rate of interest, be cause toe bait would be a tempting me to a failing institution, andfiir ther that a bond, however good it may appear to-day, may be worthless to morrow, or it may be declared void on a legal technicality. On the other hand, it is urged that the banks, no matter how large their stocks, have all their money out at certain periods of the year, and while perfectly good, could not stand tbe rnn of an hour; that it is to tbe bond at last that the city should look, and that It could be drawn so that it could not be broken. With these facts it would be safe, they say, to risk mak ing a couple of thousands, the run nirg deposit being about $('15,000. It migbt be of interest in this crisis to know what the Nashville banks) thought of tbe matter and how they bid when the same question was re cently before the Council of that city. The Fourth National Bank, follow ing the precedent of the basis of award two tears ago, mctli) ai offer for running deposits and leans, pro posing to pay the city 4 05-100 per cent, interost on monthly balances, nd to lend tho city money at ft per cent. Preeident Keith, in addition, said: "If ether plans, differing from the above, not mc roly in rates, hut in methods and conditions, are enter tained, then we respectfully auk that we be permitted to compete on (he basis cf such p'ans." The First National Bank made a broader sweep. It made a propositi m based on the same plan on which the award t) them win made two years ago, and in line with the kt'.er of the recorder, saying: 1. We will pay 4) per cent, per annum inlerett on daily balance, and will charge 4 per cent, interest upon all amounts needed by the city for its ordinary expenses. A comparison of the propositions of the two banks on this basis showed plainly that tbe offer of the Fourth National Bank wan better for the city. The First National made, in the fame bid ol December 10th, these two other propositions, which bai cot been embodied in the award of two years ago: 2 We will pay 55 per cout. interest rer annum upon all moneys remain ing in the bank arising from the sale of tho wa'er-worts and bridge bonds. After such fund is exhausted, for the regular acconDt we will pay no inter eft, and make no charge for moneys advanced the city for ordinary ex penses. 3. In view of the fact that the funds arising from the sale of the bridge ani water-works bonds may remain, in part at least, in tha treasury of the city till July, 18S0, we will pv in lieu of all other propositions fiiO'O for the whole deposit of the city for the next to years. The Fourth National Bank, after the propositions were in the bands of the committee, learning that the First Na tional had made two oilers which the former had not touched, framed prop ositions on tbe same basis. 1'treae new propositions were: 2. We will par Ii per cent, per an num upon all moneys remaining in the bank atising Horn the Bale of water-works and t ridge boidc After such fund is exhausted, for the r;gd ltir account wo will pay no interest, and make no charge fur money ad vanced the city for oidiuary expenses. 3. In view of the fact that the fnnds arir.ing from the rale r.f tha bridge and water-works bonds msiv remain in the treasury cf the city ti-l July, 1HS0, we will pay, in lieu of all other propositions, the sum of J7f 00 for the whole deposit ol the city din ing the next two years.

The llev. l'avis SesMtiiiis htsit night delivered the second of the aeries of lectures now Wing given under the tttiHpit-esi of thetiiiihl of the Ascension, ami the basu-nient of Calvary Church was eoinforulily tilled by nil intelligent ami critical inu'llcnco, who followed the the lecturer with uiilhiggiiig attention throughout his admirable discourse. Mr. SeMKums, though a very young man, isi an entertaining lecturer, and can invest even a drv subject with in terest. His lecture last night proved him to be an original thinker, a close rcasoticr and a fluent pulpit orator who rarely hesitate", for a word, anil w ho draws liberally from a well stored mind for the pertinent illtiHtrationslliat adorn his arguments. His subject last night Was -l'ncoii-Hciousi Christianity Among Nations." The follow ing is a'lirief outline of (In line of argument followed by the lecturer: There nie two ways t study and believe Christianity: objective and subjective a system approved and enforced by Authority ami exter nal historical evidence, or a system to he accepted us fulfilling the niilnnil religious cravings and satisfying the needs of num. The second, the subjective, though most demanded in. ouruge, in ho way leads to a natural istic explanation id' Christianity; but by showing this to he perfectly adapted to iiuui'm wauls, proves these to be divinely implim ed, mid it to be a satisfactory revelation of id in history. The religious idea which is natural to man, the faith in immor tality, tho naming of ( iod as spirit these are so universally pru dent in man's religious con sciousness that neither they nor I he truths! to which they point can't he questioned, The nntunil desire in man toward tied reaches up into much more complex forms, and ap proaches much nearer to the most ex alted doctrines w hich Christ claims to give. The lecturer then called atten tion to the necessity of caution in the use of the terms natural mid super natural, and dwelt upon the growth of polytheistic and mythological systems'. Man having the true conception of iod still seeks him through all forms of polytheism, dual ism, pantheism, Judaism, Islainism, deism, groping after the (.iod of Christianity, of the incarnation. The nations have deilled nature, raised men to the altitude of gods, and brought gods down to the level of men, preserved sacred hooks as in spired, as containing the divine, voice, and thus, because of their hide struetilile instinct, belief, whatever it be, that the living Hod will come to tlieni, guide them, speak to them, yet they failed till Clirisit supplied tho truth, The nations have held their wandering from the golden nge as their separation from (iod, their loss of Him, anil have raised t licit- altars to Him, striving to return. Through nil prnitcii' ial forms, mainly sacrifice, they have sought atonement, yel they have failed, an-1 Christ supplies it. In illustration the lecturer quoted from Aristotle, the Itig-Vevas, the Htiddhisl books, tragedies of liuli iieiles, Assyrian IV internal Psalm, elc. The nations dining the lirsf two cen turies prepared for Christianity, as allj history had been guided up In I he fulness of lime, ami even peoples and indiv iduals not. at that time Christians were influenced bv it, and were its unconscious allies. This was es iallv true of Plutarch. The nations had their idols of perfec tion, their worship ol heroes, more or less refined, till Plato prophesied t he man of koi rows. Man was allowed to work out his way through the cen turies. The fulfillment up through the Hebrew to the Christian faith was given him ill the great atonement done by him who died oil Calvary. . - . - l.onlat lllai Oinenl. PHBPAIIIt FOB FLOOD.
