At no time since tho war has the financial and industrial future of the ?South been more propitious than it is to-day. Tho recent stringency of money matters in New York and London lias not had any surface or any other effect upon this section. We of course mean depreciatory ef? fect. It has effected the South though, and that for its future good. On exami? nation it will he found that all of the recent flurry was directly traceable to certain conditions of South American finances, that caused tho "old lady in Threadnoedle street" to sound tho note of warning, by increasing her discounts. Millions of English money havo in recent years been invested in South American stocks and .securities. These have not panned out as satisfactorily as tho investors desired, and when tho re? cent pinch came this class of paper was hastily unloaded on the London market, for what it would bring. These capitalists may he counted upon to fight shy of South American in? vestments in future. They will turn thoir eyes to America as the only abso? lutely safe place for financial exploita? tion. Tho accounts tho returned members of tho English Iron and Steel Institute will give of the South will oaneo them to look to this rogion for profitable investments. "hey will not havo to look long; there no difficulty in accommodating **dssterling that, may wander iust hero Tiik Timks has V?, and wo believe it 'Mn the past sov ? havo been Roanoke ??ttlon ingrn office in tho financial heart of London. Why not? Tho gentlemen who, as members of tho Knglish Iron and Stool Institute, recently partook of our hospi? tality, remember our resources and advantages and will givo tho stamp of their approval to our Industrial claims. Tho way is open to us. Lot us provide the means. At least, let us all talk the matter over. THE CUAZE VOlt SCIKNTIFIC EXPERI? MENT. A thought, wave seems to have passed over the country since the successful exploitation of Dr. Koch with his con? sumption cure. Widespread interest is being manifested in things scientific and especially in referonce to matters medical and surgical. Groat Interest is concentered in the experiment now being made in New York by Dr. A. M. Phelps, a South? erner, byo-the-bye, in grafting a dog's leg bone into tho ankle of little .Johnnie Gothins, who was seriously hurt somo time since. Doctors all over the coun? try are working out various problems of medical and surgical science, and thoughtful people aro watching the various experiments with growing inter? est. Mankind must have something upper? most in mind. One think can not re? main the perpetual focus of the brain; insanity would ensue. Tho strongest, mind could not stand tho strain of end? less monotony. Wise provision has been made for constant changes in physical and natural lifo: these -produce periodic moves of popular thought that afford wholesome entertainment to mankind and elevate the human intellect. Dr. Koch's discovery will, therefore, accomplish good to thousands who do not suffer from the dread disease his scientific research has triumphed over. The whole world has been supplied with a profound desire to unravel tho hidden secrets of science; the whole world is entertaining itstdf thereby; it is adding to its brain force, and at tho same time affording itself agreeahlo mental diversion. Roanokk's liberality is most com? mendable. There are but few instances of real distress in tho city for so large a population, and the two cases to which Tin*. TIMES has recently called atten? tion have been promptly relieved. Roa noke is as generous as she is prosperous. INDIAN COMMISSION. To Inspect the Warm Sjirinxfi und Colvllle Kctiervation*. Washington, Nov l'7.?[Special)? Tho Warm Springs Indian Commission, of which Patrick Walsh, of tho Augusta Chronicle, bad been appointed a mem? ber, was provided for by the Indian ap? propriation bill of last session of Con? gress. It. is composed of three members, of whom not more than two can bo of the same politics. The other two members are II. II. Dufur, of Dufur, Oregon, and Mark A. I'ullerton, of Colfax, Washing? ton. Walsh takes t he place of Wm. fl. Dill, a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat who declined. The duty of the com? mission is to visit and thoroughly inves? tigate and determine tho correct loca? tion of the northern line of tho Wann Springs Indian reservation of Oregon. It. is also to visit Colvllle Indian res? ervation in tho state of Washington,and negotiate with. Colvllle ami other In? dians on that reservation for the c isslon of such a portion of'he reservation as the Indians may be willing to dispose of, in order that it might be opened to sett lement. The commission Is to report the re? sults of its in vest i gat ion to the Secretary of the Interior, by whom they are to he laid before Congress. The compensation of commissioners is fixed at ten dollars per diem and travel and subsistence ex? penses. PETEKSllUKG. Fire, Snow, Hull anil Several Sllclit Acci? dents. PETRltsnUBO, Nov. 27.?[Special ]? About S:30 o'clock this morning the brick building near the old market, oc? cupied as a meat house by D. T. H?tt, a butcher of this city, was destroyed by fire, the origin of which is not known. H?tts had 4?0 pounds of meat burned and some valuable machinery de? stroyed. His loss is s'.\r?o, on which there, was no insurance. Tho building was valued atSTiOO. Mr. RobertC. Kelmartin, while hand? ling a pistol last night bad his thumb shot off by tho accidental discharge of the weapon. Thanksgiving day was observed in Petersburg by the closing of the banks and different government offices. Ap? propriate services were held at tho sev? eral Episcopal churches. There was a slight fall of snow and hail hero last night. Rev. T. M. T. Holland, a well-known minister of the Church of the Disoiples, was kicked in the face by a horse in Nottoway county yesterday and had his nosn broken. He has been unconscious ever since the occurrence! and his condi? tion is considered very critical. Clearing Houkv Certificate* Returned. New York, Nov. 27.?[Special]?

McKlnney Not Likely to Call the l*g Uluture Together. Richmond, Nov.27.?[Special]?Thero is still talk of an extra session of tho legislature. Governor MeKinnoy.how? ever, has pretty clearly indicated that ho will not call tho assembly together unless there are bettor reasons for his doing so than now appear. So, if an oxtra session is had the ruotnbers'wlll havo to call it. This is not at all likely Some of tbo most influential members favor an extra session. Thero aro several reasons Urged for the necessity of convening the assembly in extra session before the regular timo for its next meeting. The most import? ant of these is tho reapportionment of tho State for members of tho National llouso of Representatives. The Democrats now havo an over? whelming majority in both branches of the legislature and there aro no good reasons for supposing they will not have in that to be chosen at the elections of next year, but some of the more prudent leaders think it better not to run any risks in the matter. It is argued, there? fore, that it will bo the part of wisdom to make tho reapportionment and dis? pose of some other important subjects of legislation while there are no othbr issues to complicate these mat- | ters. It is believed that, tiie Oleott debt committee in New York will formul?te their plan for the settlement of the debt in timo to bo submitted to the legislature at the extra session, should one be called. in the event that this is done, the assembly, if disposed to do so. Could j submit that plan to the people at the eh Ction lor members next November. A prominent member of the debt committee, appointed at tho last ses? sion, is con full nt that Mr. Olcott's com? mittee will olh r a .-chemo which will be acceptable to Mio people of Virginia. This gentleman is probably as well in formed as to tho progress made in that din ction as any one in the State. There are many important subjects to occupy the attention of the legisla? ture in case an extra session is ordered this winter, besides the apportionment for Congress and this debt.
