City Kngiucer Meigs of .Memphis, in
Ids inemoiial to congress asking for an
appropriation to piccnt the wa-hlng
away ol the ilver front at that place, says:
"Memphis Is the third cotton uort nt tlu
United States, ami stands at the head of
deep water navigation on thoMls-KslppI
river."
We arc anxious to have Memphis oh
tain tho appropriation site wishes for"
but we cannot tolerate such a bold mlI
statement as this It must be w lihin tho
knowledge ol Kngiucer .Meigs, that
Cairo, and not Memphis, is at the head or

There is no time In the year, no mailer
now low tne river s, Hint a boat that can
float at Memphis cannot come Io Cairo.
And wlillo wo recognlo the fact tiiat
the port of .Memphis is an Important one,
we Insist that Its iniporlnneo will be
greatly Impaired by contrast with the
importance ol the port of Cairo. Stand-

Wo admit tlio importance ol tho port

we tay, that .Memphis, being an iir.por.
lain port, has a right to ask congress to
make an appropriation to uivo her river

matter ol course, that wo may say al-o,
that Cairo, being it more Important port

Council ot that city, lias pi-cpaicd a pte-
mnrial to Congress, urging an appropria
Hon for the purpose of preventing the
destruction of the river front at that point
The memorial Is iptlto lengthy ami club
orate.
Destructive abrasions by the llyer have
done great Injury to the northern half of
the shore line of tlie harbor, a distance
of about live hundred feet. This lias been
going on since IS."!). Within a period ol
twenty-one years, acres ol ground have
been wahed away. I'orly city lots, oc
cupied In part by cotton warehouses, a
coal yard ami an Iron fouudrv. were nart
oi tins ground, the value of which was
$00,000. A largo coal landing, valuable
mills and largo buildings on the west
side of Promenade street, are now in
danger; and It is the oplulon of Knglneer
Meigs that If tiie river advances at tlio
into of twenty-two feet yearly, as it lias
done for tlio pat eighteen years, the ci:
tiro steauiboar'Iaiidiug ofthc city will be
engulfed. It needed no engineer to tell
us this.
'1 no length of tlio alluvial bank tit

lime is 7.S00 feet, and the engineering ex
