VU Dudley ilann : Dear Sir Knowing that you have always main tain td a deep interest in a direct Irade between the southern States of America and Europe, permit me to call your attention to the gity of Mem phis, Tennessee, United States of Amer ica. as an imiortant cotton market. Memphis is situated on the east bank of the Mississippi river, eight hundred mHes from its terminus in the gulf of Mexico, wun connections Dy rail or wa ter with the shipping at New Orleans; alse Norfolk, Baltimore, Savannah, Mo bile, Charleston, Philadelphia, New lork. Boston, Quebec and Montreal- Through bills of lading can be had on ortton to all of the important cities of Europe. Iruarance effected as desired. Nego tiations are made withouc difficulty bv sieht-drafts ou New Orleans and New York, time-bills, .sight or short-sight on ijoMfon, or ih any way mat is customary. We oaa ship either by jail or steamboat, as consignees may direct; in fact, can trausact busipees on the same terms as it k doae ia other colton markets in the United blates. Time at present from Memphis toLiv- I erpool, by steam, twenty-five to thirty j days; by sail, sixty to seventy-five days. I Memphis is now the third if not the seeond cotton market in the Luited States, the receipts annually near five hundred thousand bales, and which re- omvte are composed almost entirely of Artiauwi auu Mississippi cottons, and preferred by theiinners of our country, as well as by tfreat Britain and Ger many, Dkeet trade with Europe is what the south has long desired, and immigration to this section is what they most anx iously wish, but I merely propose now to draw your attention to Memphis as ose oi tne most important cotton mar kets of the world, and that it is the in terest of manufacturers to buy their cot ton as "ear the plaee of production as possible, and not to pay middlemen cottimissioHS and profits only so fares their interest is subserved. Upon tho same natural taws 01 traue it is the in terest of the consumer to buy directly from the matuifaeturer when practica ble. Orders sent to Memphis direct bv thp spinner ean be S3 readily exeeute i as if mey were sent py a uealer, and 1 cluiin that oarjeotton will suit in every particu lar for making all descriptions of goods, the finer as well as the coarser qualities, which I knew from experience, having bought for the mills in our country as will as far England for the past twenty years. Iterewpd efforts are being made in our section of country to establish a trade with the different countries of Europe, and we are satisfied that it is the inter est of those countries to co-operate with w; and one mode is to appoint consuls or vice-consuls in our port as a prelimi nary procedure. Memphis is now an established port of entty, sad geods-cah be shipped direct ly here from any foreign country. The charges for purchasing cotton here are nine and a half per cent ; dravage, labor and Shipping, forty cents per'baie, which covers all expenses at this point We are in cable communication with all parte ef Europe. Navigation of the Mississippi river to the gulf of Mexico is not obstructed; aether is rail communication from any of the Atlantic ports. Memphis is situated near the line of the great cotton belt, and from this sec Hen we draw our main supplies. Our cotton has only to be known to become a great favorite in Europe, as it is now with the manufacturers of our own coun- U1?' 'If seme of tfee riah coverrmaats of Europe will now lafike-au effort to se cure the trade of theiouth, we think it will succeed ' -wner or later. Trusting that your further efforts to establish this trade mayresult in. great foou to tne souuiera ctatos and .tsurope, am yours truly, UK. XANN KBPIiY. l Rue JWX.lncEai;Eaaoi l'AXIS.

You have re-excited my largest sympathies in its behalf. I solemnly promise you all the aid that so powerless an individual as myself can command. Memphis enjoys an enviable location upon the m-p of the North American continent Extended trade must center there if the mighty-producing and con tributing region west and south of the Allegheny mountains can be influenced to act upon the past and sound est principle in political economy "buy where you can cheapest, and sell where you can sell dearest" The primary object in the accomplishment should be to get rid henceforth and for ever nf that which you as aptly and flat ly term " middle men commissioners." Let that region meet its customers and supplies abroad through the waters of the Chesapeake bay and other southern waters directly face to face, and hand to hand. Putting its own shoulder to the wheel with an inflexible purpose not standing idly and talking loudly, nor caning upon neaven to come to its aid as heretofore. Europe will swiftly be awakened to the vast importance of em bracing it with outstretched arms, and tightly clasped hands, if it will have the courage first to put us own suouiuer to tne wneei. There is not the shadow of a reason, except the inglorious one which pro ceeds from "don't care" slothfulness. why the tribute money (for such it prac- elsewhere, in "middle-men-commis-slons," devour the fair earnings of the agriculturists, snouid not be immediate ly and finally withheld. The material interests of the already large and constantly augmenting States creaieu irom mat immense territory which "Old Virginia." in a lit of over strained patriotic magnanimity, ceded to the I'nited States, are identical with those of the late Confederate States. Those interests-demanded their allied action for a removal of every i. f .i a ' , . umurauce 10 iree and speedy exporta tion to, and importation from, foreism countries. The vessel which carries their supplies across the sea should brine back, to be delivered at their nearest port of entry, whether that port be Memphis. St Louis. Louisville. Cincinnati, or others, the articles which mey require irom abroad for consump tion. In the malestv of their numerical strength they should cause congress dis tinctly to understand tnat tney are in full array acainst any impost on foreien merchandise which has the least squint ing toward the abominable doctrine of "protection" ror protection's sake. An ad valorem duty of twenty or twenty-five per centum, and that on every article wnich enters the customhouse, is one of their greatest needs. In coniunction with direct trade, for the proper development of their matchless resources. immigration will swiftly take up the tracK oi direct navigation, and tne com sue it to the desired goal. In the ab sence of such, track, all efforts will be comparatively fruitless to attract it from the old and well-beaten one. Labor, to be secured, must truly perceive that mere is a direct and easy way to its se curity. European governments will not be slow in appointing consuls when thev j learn that they have interests to guard. I x am, uearsir, yours very truly, DUDLEY 3IAX2T. A NEGRO MURDERED. Fnll Details of the Affiir Arrest of the Perpetrator He is Lodged in Jail. From th6 Richmond (Va.) Wing. Morgan's Cross-Roads, Halifax CotrxTY, Va., August 4. On Saturday morning. August 2d, a white man named Freeman Moore shot and in stantly killed a negro man named Bill Scott The scene of the. murder is in Brookneal, in this county. The weapon used was a double-barrel gun loaded with buckshot Death ensued immediately. The cause of the shooting was as follows: On Friday afternoon the hands of Dr. Worsham ceased work for the evening, and were leaving the tobacco factory. when a'quarrel occurred between two of mem one a wnite boy, Thomas Moore, and the other the negro man Bill Scott, who was killed. During the difficulty Bill Scott threw a large stone at Tom Moore, which would have killed him had he not dodged it When Tom got home he told his father about the affair, which so enraged him that he dermlned on the fatal deed which he enacted the morning following. Having loaded his gun, he posted himself near the factory, and as the negro, in company with others, approached, he shot him down, as stated above. Moore made no attempt to escape, but remained quietly at home until be was arrested. He is now in jail at Halifax Courthouse. Two men named James Munford and Thomas Conroy, who, for many years, have acted as guides through the Cave of the Winds on Goat island, determin ed to ascertain if there was not another cave under the American fall. They re paired to the first of the ferry-stairs pro vided with ropes and ladders. After getting beyond this sheet of water with out much difficulty, they found it neces sary to use their boats in order to reach the desired locality. Mr. G. W. Shnms. an eye-witness, says the men were out of sight for some time, and gave them up for lost They soon, however, made their appearance, and pronounced the new cave one of the wonders of the world. It was pitch dark in the new cave, and In one place they stood be tween two walls of water. They were prevented from going further for want of some more tools and some means of lighting the cave. iwpcnsion Bridge Journal A Washington telegram says that the proceedings of the court-martial in tho case of Captain Jack and other Modocs were received at the war department Tuesday.

Speech of the GoTemor-General Pro roguing both Houses. The Credit Mobil ier Swindle to be In quired Into. Ottawa. Oxt.. Auirust 13. Parlia ment was prorogued to day, with a speech by the governor-general, in the course of which he said : "i have uiougnt it expe dient, in the Interest of a good govern ment, to order that a commission should be issued to inquire into certain facts connected wkh the Canadian Pacific railroad, to which publio attention has been directed; and that the evi dence adduced before such commission should be taken on oath. The commis sioners shall be instructed to proceed with the inquiry, and with all due dili gence transmit their report to the speak ers of the senate and house of commons as well as to myself. Immediately on receipt of the report I shall cause par liament to be summoned, and for the despatch ot business a d to give an eany opportunity of taking such report into consideration." An extraordinary scene took place on the meeting of parliament to-day. The speaker took the chair at half-past three o'clock. McKenzie, the leader of the opposition, promptly rose and moved a resolution condemning the re moval of investigation into the charges against the ministers, in connection with the Pacific railroad scandal, from the parliamentary committee to the royal committee as a violation of privileges of the house. The speaker endeavored in vain to call him to order. He was supported by loud shouts of "privilege" and "go on" from the op position benches. McKenzie proceeded to speak to the motion, when the usher or tne biacK rod appeared, no con tinued speaking amid the utmost con fusion, during which the usher of the black rod delivered his message and re tired. The speaker then left the chair and with the supporters of the government left for the senate chamber to hear the governor's speech, which was delivered amid the groans and hisses of the occu pants of the opposition benches, who remained in their seats. Great excite ment prevails with regard to the pro ceedings given above. The opposition members will hold a meeting Una even ing. WHITEWASHED. Senator Hippie, alias Mitchell, Indorsed by the Republican Party of Oregon. The Press and the Legislature Each Ap ply a Coat of Whitewash How They Did It From the Salem. (Oregon) 31ercury.; Our Republican friends are determined that there shall be no mistake about their indorsement of Senator Hippie. Indeed they manifest a disgusting eager ness and celerity in hastening to his support as he reels before the shock of the recent terrible disclosures as to his past history. They "fold their loving arms around rum" as tenderly as if they had caught the trick of it from him and his Mary J . They actually jostle each other in their eaeer. and almost amorous, haste. The newspaper editors or me party were the earliest of all to rush to his assistance, and to cry "shame" upon those who told the story of his libidinous career in Pennsylva nia. Each of them seized his paper, and ran to plaster it over the damaged reputation of the much-married senator. tiere, foremost of all. was Rev. Bov- akin, of the Register, with trembling naste, pasting nis "biauKet" sheet over me broadest part he could find, so that, like charity, it should "cover a multitude of sins." Yonder was the amorous warrior of the Statesman stretching his little "four-by- six -tin it tore, trying to conceal as much Hipple-ism as he could. And "last but" by no means "least" was the masculine female of the Northwest literally snatching her paper out of the grave to maKe ot it a shield for seduct ion, and adultery, and bigamy. But then the newspaper men. male and female, are not to have it all their own way. We understand that the Republi can members of the last leeislature nro- poseto get up a mammoth certificate of cnaracter tor mi. nipple, subscribed with the full names of all of them who can write, the rest "makins their mark." We are Informed that thirtv-three of them have already signed it, and that the rest will do so as soon as the oppor tunity is presented. The certificate is worded in the strongest terms. The signers heartily "endorse" the senator. "notwithstanding the recent disclosures concerning him," and declare their "abiding and unshaken confidence in himasa man and a senator." Touching. isn't it? Thirty-three bankrupts in re putation and morals "endorsing" an other of the same ilk, who is on his way tnrougn me insolvent's court, to mase the farce complete Mr. Hippie ought to give each or them a certificate oi character. We cheerfully pay him the compliment of saying that the certificate just aoout as valuable as tne one tney are going to give mm. une sad truth is, these thirty-three men exactly represent the sentiments of their -party on this question. Of course we do not mean to say that there are not many Republicans who entertain no sympaty and no re spect for Mr. Hippie, In view of the recent disclosures concerning him. We honestly believe that there are multi tudes of men in that party who cannot look with allowance upon seduction, and bigamy, adultery and other crimes even in the person of a United States senator. But then those men do not control the party, and do not shape Its morals. And they are not responsible for the sentiments of the organization on this question. But they certainly will be if they continue to furnish it the "aid and comfort" of their votes after a full knowledge of the facts. There is no dodging the inevitable conclusion. The Republican party of Oregon Indorses its bigamous senator. Not a single paper or public man in good standing in tie organization has, as yet, uttered one word or disapproval of Mr. Hippie's career. On the contrary, they do their utmost to palliate, excuse and justify hia conduct We make no exceptions.

In a speech before the mass-meeting of the people's union last night, Booth spoke about the present disintegration of parties and the present new dangers now at issue, with party discipline destroyed. Men differ, not as Republicans or Demo crats, but as men of independent con stitution. These moral forces can no more be respected by the convictions of Elatforms and resolutions than the jmpest stayed by proclamation of peace. When parties cease to represent principles and ideas, no power can hold mem together. The contest now throughout the Union is one between prerogative and personal freedom; be tween the power of the strong to take and the right of each man to nis own. The influence and concentration of capital is to be resisted, for with this im mense pressure upon our rights we are in danger of becoming enslaved in spirit, losing that sense of manly inde pendence which is essential to freedom. The power threatening this danger does not reacn unity, out tne worK is con stantiy being done. The tendency to concentration under a single head is so manifest that all can see it Speakers have held that when the government builds railroads it should contract them for the public gooo, ano wnen deirauued oi its securi ties, should take possession of the road Referring to the Central railroad compa ny, he said that throughout the State an iron finger was laid on every pulse of industry, on every tnroat tne iron nand was tightening, only relaxing its grasp ior interest or caprice. The Democrats nominated Dr. A. J. Bowie. Frank McCappin, of the State senate, mane a lew remarns, and said mat anotner point was gaired over rail road monopolies. ANTI-MONOPOLISTS' CONVENTION.

TO OUR CREDITORS AND THE PUBLIC On the 7th of Jn;y last, from circumstances unexpected and uncontrollable by us, certain of our commercial paper went to protest, and It became evident to us that In order to meet oar liabilities and continue in business, an extension upon the part of our creditors would be neceacary. To this end we submitted a proposition for an extension ot oar entire In debtedness until the 1st of January next, and then the creditors to accept payment In Are equal Installments, maturing, respectively, 1st January, February, March, April and 3Ioy. A large majority of them readily acceded to this arrangement, and many of them, manlfestine the fullest confidence in our disposition and ability to comply with any engangement we might make In refer ence to our difficulties, voluntarily offered to extend the time even longer than we had desired. The agreement signed by the credit ors who aceeeded to the terms of this pro po sition, dated July 11, 1S73, was conditioned that the same should become utterly void and of no effect" unless all creditors whose debts exceeded one hundred dollars should subscribe their names thereto within thirty days after its date. Had the small number of oar creditors who hesitated at the outset, and who now refuse to enter Into the arrange ment, come forward and met us In the spirit of confidence and forbearance which our long established business and credit would seem to have Justified, we confidently believe that we would In the end haveworked out of our diffi culties. Hesitation, however, under the cir cumstances, was ruinous to bur Interests and commercial credit. Feeling that It would be alike unjust and dishonorable to ass: further credit, or make further purchases of our friends during the pendency of the negotia tions with oar creditors, we have been much embarrassed, and oar business in the mean time, from this cause, has materially suf fered, as might be supposed, and confidence In the credit and standing of our house has been in a measure destroyed. The importunities of dissatisfied creditors In crease dally, and we are keenly sensible of the fact that we are unable longer to carry on business with any satisfaction to ourselves or our friends. A few very solicitous creditors have instituted suit one has an execution, and another, as we are Informed, Is proceeding In the bankrupt court, i Feeling that .an attempt longer to do bus! ness would only complicate matters and per haps do Injustice to many of our creditors, wo have, by the advice of our attorneys, with much reluctance determined to close our doors and secure an equitable distribution of ourassettsin bankruptcy. Under our man agement we are confident the assets would have paid the entire Indebtedness. As It la, we hope oar creditors will select an assignee who will realize as much. We heartily and sincerely thank our nn meroos warm-hearted friends here and else where, who have labored so assiduously to bring about the desired extension. Their ef forts, though unavailing, are none the less de serving our gratitude. Very truly, TOOF, PHILLIPS & CO. BAGGING AND TIES.
