?HB MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL FEIDAY, JULY -2, 1875. fkGfflPWS JULY 2, 1S75. I III DAT, ITY I.M)EUTEB.1Mi. An article in another column, con trasting American municipal debts with these of European cit ies, comes to us very opportune ly in view of recent discussion or the debt of Memphis. It will be seen that while we are not the lowest in thescle, p .pulation considered, we are still sufll c.ently bo to furnish a contrast painful to our tax-poyera. Leaving out of con sideration the English towns that ap proximate oua in population, and con tracting ours with the figures of cities in oir own country, we uuu uai .-w iu keep us company in the matter of debt. Ban Francisco, with nearly three times our population, owta two million of dol lars less, and we find such thriving western cities as Milwaukee andDetroit, with nearly double our population, with less than half our debt. Indianapolis, with a few thousand more people than ns, owes about one-fourth as much, and Savannah and 2ow Orleans are the only southern cities that at all approxi mate us. Charleston owes as much as we do, but then it has double our popu lation, and has permanent public im provements to show for her debt, which we have not. And Just there is the rub. As the New York Herald some lime ago remarked, when contraatipg the relative debts of Paris and New York, the debt, while It would still be cause of regret, would be less so if we had anything to show for It Except the fast decaying and much neglected Nicolson pavement we have nothing to show for the $5,522, 362 S2 which -we owe. We have neither boulevard, nor public park, nor city halh nor eleemosynary institution (savo the city hospital) nothing, In fact, that would arrest the stranger's eye as an evidence of commer cial growth and Independence. All other cities have these, and public docks and hariwr improvements, that are an index and witness of the public spirit of their people. What, then, does this enormous debt represent, for the re daction of which we have assets only to the amount of S1,CT5,20S 89? Mainly scrip Issued in payment of contracts and to the employes, in some cases three for one being given in order that a full dollar might be realized by the creditor. Much of it also represents the difference between the market and face value of bonds that were sold or hypothecated at cruel rates, the fiuanciers being only mindful of the present and utterly heed less of the future with its day of reckon ing. These facts and this condition of Memphis make her plaxse in the scale of debtor cities a very sorry one, one to be appreciated here at home more than it ever can be abroad. It is all the woise, too, because there is no improve ment in tho direction where most we need improvements. We have no manufactories on a ecala encouraging us to a belief in anything like growth in population, and the only per ceptible increase is seen in tlm houses on our business thoroughfares that have been energetically pushing our commerce in every direction throughout the surrounding country. Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago, against which we are pitted in the race for commercial supremacy, have large manufacturing interests to second and support their commerce, and can, there fore, bear their burden of debt with a feeling of ability to meet it, and by up holding the public, strengthen private credit. We have not. We rely alto gether upon cotton and the traffic grow ing out of the handling of the staple, and. from year to year, literally rest upon the ragged edge of anxiety until tho crop is gathered, and we know we are safe. This year we have saved our selves, but that is all. The crop was shoit in this region, receipts were con sequently light, and purchases propor tioned. The result has been that every one had to practice a closo economy, aud the classes who are dependent upon daily labor have been brought to the verge of want This is not a bright pic ture, but it is the fact; remarkable, too, since in every other part of theStato,and especially in all the towns near us, me chanical and manufacturing enterprises have kept pace with the commercial growth, and both have hand-in-hand sustained, amid a dull year, with money abundant yet hard to get, a prosperous condition. But, returning to the city debt: It should be the first care of our city fathers, and they should diligently seek relief for us wherever they can find it. If in the courts, we ought to know it as soon as possible. If bonds were wrongfully issued, or if we can take ad vantage of the purchase price as op posed to the face value, let us know the facta at once, and enter upon a feasible plan of relief. With tho present debt hanging over us, a painful evidence against us, we cannot expect to prosper. AVe must retime the municipal burden, if possible, before we can expect the establishment of those industries, the absence of which is painfully conspicu ous just now, and without which we cannot hope to make Memphis what we all desire she should be. Now that our country friends have it in their power to come from Milan, Humboldt, and other towns on the Lou isville road, to Memphis, arriving here at forty-Ilvo minutes past eight o'clock in the morning, and leaving at five o'clock in the evening, would it not be well to sell round-trip tickets from these points to Memphis? This would, per haps, with the advantages they now enjoy, carae a large travel to Memphis from these places, tht-eby benefiting the roaiTand the city. This road shows every disposition to accommodate the public and to facilitate the travel to and from Memphis. In the letter of our Fayetteville cor respondent it was stated that "of the thirteen hundred dollars paid for the survey of the Memphis and Knoxville road through Lincoln county, Colonel Jlolmau paid two hundred dollars." It should hnvo been "of the three hundred dollars etc," Instead of the thirteen hundred. Colonel Holman's payment amounted to two-thirds of what was paid, since only three hundred was paid in that county. A correspondent asks us: "Why is it so many of the small towns In Ten nessee can have factories of different kinds, and yet Memphis be without them? Can it be want of enterprise, want of money, and want of natural advantages here?" We have the money and the advantages, aad although in other matters not wanting in enterprise, we can't muster sufficient for manufac tures. That's where the trouble lies. We learn that there is to be a large granger picnic at Brownsville Landing, four miles from Brownsville, to-morrow, An immense meeting, an abundance of good things, and fiue speaking are ex pected on that occasion. They are -j dicing in the prospect of fine crops, good prices anil easy times this fall. Let them repeat this fall what they did last in Uio way of Bowing grain and all will bo well. A letter from General Jtosecracz, which that gallant soldier addressed to the editor of theNew York Jlcrcdd, and which we publish in another column, has considerable interest as an answer to Sherman's Memoirs. The general speaks plainly, and coupling what he says with what Buell has already said, we are in clined ti think he is right. There was a meeting a few days since ot southern raihoad and steamboat managers, called to adjust diiiiculties between Georgia aud Atlantic coast lines. After a long confab it was agreed to leave rates for freight and passengers as at present. AXOTIIEK IiETTEIS FKOM SIR. HA.YL.IJiS. From BtlfVst to Glasgow Hie Ureal lommrrrlnl Emporium or Scot landHie Auclent Capital o' tbe Land Cnkea." Edinbubo, June 10. My last was from Belfast, Ireland, that beautiful country.the tops of whose mountains are draped in fleecy clouds, and the sides like hazy velvet, sloping gently or abruptly to the valleys of green, where the herds are grazing beside the rippling, crystal waters, interspersed with tho shamrock, arbutus and ferns, tho farms excluded by the white hawthorn hedges. We left Belfast at eight o'clock in the evening, crossing the Irish sea, eniering the river Clyde. We arrived at Glas gow, Scotland, at six o'clock the next morning, passing Loch Lomond and Dunbarton, in tho distance places of history. Tho night was dark and stormy, but when daylight appeared in the morning, the scenery along the river well repaid us for what we had lost in the darkness. The Clyde is a walled river, filled with dredgeboats.which ren der it navigable for tho largest ships; but that which attracts and astonishes the traveler most is the number of BhipB being built along its banks, from the largest steamship to the smallest eloop, some just put on the stocks, others fur ther progressed.and still others launched, needing only the painter's brush to give them the fiuish. One hundred and thirteen is the number of ships now be ing built, but not one for the American and European trade reported. Glasgow is a beautiful city; fine build ings, mainly of stone, and in architect ure fashioned after Paris; besides, it is by far the most business place, so far, that I have seen either in Ireland or Scotland, and ranks first in trade in either of the two couutries, containing a population of five to seven hundred hundred thousand. The Sabbath is more strictly observed in this city than any I have ever seen, London not excepted. It lies on both sides of the stone-walled Clyde. Before the war in our country, this was a very important cotton mar ket, tut since, no cotton is sold here, the spinners, of which there are a large number in the city and vicinity, obtain their supplies mainly from Liverpool. This intormation I obtained from the merchants here, with whom I had in terviews on the subject of trade. The Glasgow cathedral is the oldest in Scot land, built on hallowed ground selected r 1 1 . 21. "NTInlnn I lor cunsuuu uuuai uy ti. muiiw ut Galloway some time about tho fifth or sixth century, only then, however, an humble monastery, now a huge edifice, with the largest crypt in the world so we were told. Its founder, St. Kerni gan, was buried in it about tho year C01. Many strange traditions are connected with this house. We left Glasgow at two o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at Edinburg at four o'clock the same day, aud immedi ately started out sight-seeing. Our first visit was to Holyrood palace, made memorable as being the abode of Queen Mary. We saw the room which she oc cupied; the bed and furniture, which are still in it; the blood of Ricsio, who was assassinated, is still to be seen on the floor; the room occupied by her and King James, the same bed and furniture still in it. There are small rooms and very plain furniture. Tho palace is filled with paintings of antiquity. The old abbey adjoining it is in ruins. While looking at the paintings a lady walked in alone, whom Mrs. Bayliss addressed, not thinking who it was, when, much to our astonishment and agreeable eurprise, on turning her face toward us stood Mrs. Annie Ketchum. We then (Mrs. Ketch um in company) visited Aithur's Seat, Saliebury Crag, Edinburg Castle, the old parliament house, where courts are now held, the judge and advocates dressed in powdered wigs and black gowns; saw the stone covering the grave of John Knox, in the middle of the street, over which carriages and people pass; also, the "Heart of Midlothian," represented by the stones forming the pavement in the shape of a heart, aad my wife, getting out of the carriage, set her foot upon it. This is the spot where the old prison stood, known as the "Heart of Midlothian," by Walter Scott, of Jennie Dean memory, associ ated with wh&9 name was a Captain Galbraith, a relative, probably, of an individual in Memphis of tae same name. We seen and went inside the house occupied by Jennie and Eflle Dean, an old, dilapidated brick or mud and stone building, still occupied by a genteel family. We saw Walter Scott's house, wherehe lived for so many years: also the house of John Knox; visited St. Giles's cathedral, once Episcopal, but after Jennie Geddis shied the stool at the Dean's head for attempting to read the "colic," it has been used as a Presbyterian church. After visiting the principal places of Interest, we climbed to the top of Colton Hill, from which we had a view of the city and surround ing country that surpassed anything that I have ever witnessed. On the south tho Pentlarfa mountains are in full view, and on the north the Gram pian hills, upon which "My father fed his flock," and between which and the city is the Firth of Froth; looking to the west, and under you, lies the city of Edinburg, the most beau tiful city that I have ever seen in my life. Population, two hundred thousand. We visited nearly all the places of inter est, but wo have not space to describe them. Tho cities of Glasgow and Ed inburg are built on natural ground not graded at a heavy cost and destruction of property, like Memphis consequent ly they are clean, well drained and healthy. Contrasting the psople of Scotland and Ireland, I find the former loyal, prosperous and happy, while the latter are the reverse, notwithstanding the same laws govern both countries. Tbe Scotch say that the Irish would not be satisfied with any government be neath the sun. How is this, my friend Magevney? Edinburg is not a place of much commercial importance, hence I am oil for Liverpool to-day. Have not found that name referred to in my last yet but many of the others mentioned. B. BAYLISS. Common Nznse. New York Sun.J A vast amount of nonsense is written a'nut the dislike of the white population of the south-to labor, and a great deal of gratuitous counsel is given to the citi zens of the reconstructed States, the burden of which is that if they wish to prosper they must go into tho fields anil do their own work. The Chicago JW bunc, in an exceedingly self-complacent article on this subject, gravely says that in the cotton States "no white man is willing to accept social degradation by working In the field," when it Is a well known fact that tho most productive regions of several of the cotton States are those in wnicn me negro population is small, and the greater portion of tho labor employed upon the cotton crop is performed by whites. Of course the efl'ecta of the slave system cannot Lc overcome in a day, and there is a class of men who.having been accustomed to liv ing without labor, exhibit ehiftlessuess and want of energy under the new con ditions which govern their life. But tho southern jteople as a mass have shown great pluck and energy in adapting themselves to their changed circum stances, the best evidence of which is found in tho rapid recuperation of their industries and business interests in three States which have relieved them pelvea from the plundering rule of the carpetbaggers. If the large landholders prefer to employ themselves in superintending hired laborers instead of going into the field aud doing work which they can hire negroes to do for twenty dollars a month or less, we do not see that they are doing different from what Is done by people who cau afford it all over tho world ; or why they should be lectured for con ducting their own business in their own way.
