MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE: SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 26, 18811
Colonel E. W. Colo, in an inter
view with a representative of tho At
lanta Constitution, states that tb
company has comploted at Memphis
one ot the highest elevators in the
South. We have always understood
that tho elevator was built by Mem
phis merchants. Appeal, 26.
And wo understand that the Mem
phis & Charleston railroad lessees,
in their individual capacity, hold a
bare majority of the stock in tho
elevator.
The branch of the Southwestern
Benefit Guild, at Ashville, North
Carolina, came up promptly with its
indebtedness to the central office hero
the other day. .' Two new members
were also added. . Tho amount f omit
ted, less cost of collection, was about
which, when received, was as
usual added to the gcnoral fund in
bank. When the Scorctary oalled
Judge Snecd's attention to the entfy,
a broad smilo is said to have spread
all over his oountcnanoe. The J udge
first saw tho light in North Carolina,
and only two or throe years ago te
spent part of a summer at Atthville,
which , only increased a mutual ad
miration that had long existed.
f Manchester, Coffee county, has a
new paper, the Times, and it is opposed
to the 100-3 iniquity. 'This makes
forty-four papers in tho 8tato on that
side. The Ledger is not so lonesome
a it was last year. "The cry is, still
they come," but we havo yet lo hoar
of a new paper or old ooe going to
the , aid of that notorious pieco
of legislation. It is just
as certain to fall to the
ground by some means or other, as
the little sickly apples that ripen first
under a June sun. It is wrong in
every sense and will be so adjudged
by the people, who make and unmake
legislatures. Even it it ia technically
constitutional it will be set aside, and
rendered joid and inoperative. The
peoplo have come up manfully and
paid their taxes. The bondholders
organs take this as an evidence that
the 100 3 is approved. They are either
greitly mistaken or guilty of gross
misrepresentation. The low tax coun
ties in Middle lenuessoo and othor
parts of tho Stato have paid as
promptly as tho counties that were
carried for John V. Wright or Haw
kins. Why? Beciuso (1) they art
law-abiding, and (2) to avoid tho
heavy penalties. The Ledger ad
vised this course months ago, and
the peoplo in every county fell into
this way of thinking. It does
not follow that they will elect men
who indorse tho 100 3, and will raio
the rate of taxation tosixty orscventy
five cents in order to meet the interest
demanded by tho bondholders. We
take it for granted, without any ful
some flattery on the one hand or un
necessary argument on the other, that
the Supremo Court as now consti
tuted will doits duty. Tho members
individually are understood lo be State
Credit men, but wo are not aware
that they aro committed to any par
ticular schemo or mothod by which
the'namo or tho true intent of State
credit is to be maintained. The 100-3
act, should it ever come belore thom,
will doubtless bo viewed in tho cold,
calm light of law. Whether the case
ill be advanced or permitted to tako
its course, wo Lave not too slightest
idea or iutimation; nor do we give
that matter any particular thought
Tbo incro tact ot tho measure
being found constitutional would cot
make it jest, practicable or endurable.
Many a constitutional law has been
repealed, and many that exist unre
pealed are dead and inoperative. If
the people condemn this settlement it
is already a dead letter, and such we
hold is the ease.
Ma. John M. Patrick, an honored,
old citizen, who dropped out of the
active pursuits of life about five years
ago, died peacefully and painlessly at
half cast ten o'clock last niiiht at his
residence on Union street. From
sketch prepared by himself, to be read
before tho "Old Folks at Homo Soci
ety," we find that he was born near
Jefferson, in Jefferson county, Georgia,
January 20th 1804. He was, there
fore, nearly seventy-eight years old.
lie was removed with bis father's
family to Giles county, Tennessee, in
1810. In 1S25 ho became a clerk
in a store, and in 1S2G he married a
Miss Masscy. In 1S23 he became a
partnor with his brother-in-law, E. M.
Masscy, and so continued for
two years. Afterwards ho con
ducted business alono very suc
cessfully for several years. The
panio of 1S37 found him with many
debts owing bim. Ho was paid off in
bankrupt notices and considerably
crippled. Mr. Patrick removed to
Mom phis in 1811 reaching hero on the
9th of October. Ho formed a partner
ship with John S. Clayton, whom he
had partly raised. They opened a dry
goods store on Exchange Square on
Poplar street opposito tho old Ex
change Hotel, then kept by General Me
Mackin, the famous hotel man. They
afterwards sold out to John and Sam
Martin with whom Mr. 1 atrick en
gaged in the cotton aud commission
business. This was mutually profita
bio. Afterwards he was engaged in
business on his own account, and some
years handled as high as 23,000 bales
of cotton. He was a large and success
ful operator, but had his ups and
downs like other men. When the
-2
war canio on h becamo a member of
the vigilanco committee that
existed ' for a time. When
tbo Federals entered Memphis
he went South, and located at Cahaw
ba, Alabama, where his wife died
during the war. Ho was at one time
an Alderman, and it is said that be
was the first Secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. In early days he was a
member of the velunteer fire depart
ment. In all the relations of life he
was a truo man, and was always re
garded as a public spirited and leading
citizen, lie was not a member of any
Church, though a regular attendant at
tho Second Presbyterian Church for
many years. II is privato life was
irreproachable, and it is said that he
was never known to utter an oath or
to do an act not within the strictest
bounds of morality. Alter tho war
he re engaged - in business, but
never recovered bis lost fortune.
A year or two ago be was injured by a
fall and over after had to walk on
cratches, though this was not
tho cause of hu death. Only a few
weeks ago he was on the streets. His
funeral will take plaoc from the Sec
ond Presbyterian church at three
o'clock to-morrow afternoon. Peace
and honor to his memory.
ADD1TIO.ALC01'TOX.
The market for cotton to day is
strong, holders asking higher prices
and buyers , offering Jo above official
quotations, which offers, ai far as
heard, were declined, in anticipation
of the market ruling rtill higher.
Several of pur most prominent cotton
buyers are of opinion that the value
of the staple is destined to advance
materially at an early day, and they
are inolined to the short crop esti
mates, ranging from five to not
exceeding fivo and a half millions
of balci. The indications all
point, they declare, to an unusually
early marketing of the cntiro crop.
While at present receipts keep well
up, they do not expect them to con
tiaue so much longer. Indeed, it is
confidently believed that the receipts
will very soon exhibit a marked de
crease, and that tho supply will be
inadequate to tho demand. Whether
or not this is the correct view to take
of the future of priocs, it is very cer
tain tnn tne picking season is
almost over, even in tho riohest
valley ' ' lands, and that as
soon as the cotton is ginned and baled
it will all bo ready fur market. Thi
h much earlier than the picking
season ha closed in many years, and
whilo tho crop has been harvested in
better condition than ever before, yet
it is certainly from one-fourth to a
halt less in quantity than either of the
two previous seasons. Thfl-e was an
active demand in this market to day,
but factors were stiff and generally
abovo buyers' views. Tbo tone at
noon was very firm, prices being
advanced Jc as follows: Low ordinary,
71; ordinary, 9; good ordinary, lOj;

A Proper Estimate of GnUean.
New York, November 2G.-Dr
Samuel G. Armor, Dean of tho Facul
ty of Long Island College Hospital,
Brooklyn, says in roference to
Guiteau's condition: "The world is
full of Guitehu's illy balanced mentil
monstrosity, compounded of badly
arranged intellectual forces, feeble
moral faculties and enormous self-
oonceit. Such peoplo aro kind of
'missing links' between a low and
irresponsible animal type of brain and
a supreme ideal of perfect humanity.
If such persons aro pronounced irre
sponsible for their deliberately
planned purposes of murder, society
has no longer any safeguards against
the worst element of its population.
Compared with such characters, insane
people are comparatively harmless, for
tbey are usually confined.

ably comfortable Other repairs are
being made.
Early this morning officer Plummor

factory by Mr. Van L. Kirk
man. Mr. Hamilton will leave in a
few days for Cincinnati, Baltimore and
Newlorkto purchase all necessary
machinery and stocks. In addition to
the manufacture of domestic flour bags
they will also handle ac wholesale a
large stock of paper bags, wrapping
paper and twino. They will operate
the largest factory of the kind in the
south, which their unequalled facili

success.
Gniteaa'a Divorced Wife.
Special to Cineinnatl Commercial
Washington. November "24. Mr.
Dunmire. the present husband o
Guiteau's divorced wife, evidently has
keen eye for business, lie says he
as a photograph of his wife and Guit-
eau, which he proposes to send for and
have copies mado for sale. He thinks
people everywhere will want to see it,
because it shows how badly the lady
looked after experiencing the cruel
treatment at the hands of Guiteau.
Mr. Dunmire also has some minine
stock which he would like to dispose
of. Ho thinks the government ought
to pay him for his time, and for the
substitute he is oompelled to employ
to do his work at home.
Mrs. Dunmire is small and slender
of statue, with dark hair, a prominent
nose and blue eyes. After ber divorce
from Guiteau in New York she came
to Y ashington, and for a year she
found employment in the Trcasu'y
Department.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunmire are accom
panied by thoir two children, a boy
aged three years and a girl of thirteen'
months. I bey are stopninc at a auiet
boardinehouse. Mr. Dunmire seems
to be confused about the testimony
his wifa will give. 11 o says she will
testify, for the prosecution, and that
Guiteau is crazy.
Airs. Dunmire s mother was once a
sorvant in the family of Mr. Scovillo,
which accounts tor Guiteau s acquaint
ance with her.

Jackson Dispatch, 25,
The voice of a deceived and be
trayed people is now. what shall we
do to be saved trom the wickedness of
pledge breakers and bribe takers, in
the passage ot their intamous 100-3
bill, party platforms were violated and
the most solemn promises and pledges
broken by faithless party leaders.
This was all done for personal gains.
They have also attempted to enslave
the people ot this btate for ninety
nine years against their will. Thin

has ever been attempted before in the
history of this proud commonwealth,

mit to such an outrage. There is no
question but what the iniquitous
measure was passed by fraud and cor
ruption It is a child of the lobby
and official corruption, and therefore
it should be repudiated by all good
peoplo.
Iinmlicrtiou from Tennessee.
Murtreo'boro Free Fress, 25.
While high taxes are pushing many
families out of Tennessee into Texas,
Arkausaw and elsewhere, tho position
in which the last Legislature plaocd
the State is evidently an impediment
in tho way of those who would other
wise settle within her borders. The
condition of the State in this regard
is calculated to frighten capitalists
away. Capital will ecek investment
where it can .operate with the least
