New Orleans to lie the Crain Depot of
the West.
The main object cf the Convention which
assembled in New Orleans a few days ago,
was to devise means of directing the grain
o'.' the Northwest from Chicago and the
lakes and canals of the North to the Mis-
issippi river via New Orleans, in its pas
sage to New Yo k and to Liverpool. And
it is asserted that this movement is
bound to succeed, from the fact mainly that
transportation by the latter route is much
cheaper than by Chicago. The cost of
transportation on a bushel of wheat from
Dubuque, Iowa, to New York, by way of
Chicago is 523 cents, while it has been as
certained that the cost per bushel from the
same point to Ne- York by way of New
Orleans, is only 34} cents, a saving of 13}
cents on the bnshel by the latter route.—
The cost from Dubuque to Liverpool, by
way of New Orleans is only 441 cents, or
7} ceuts per bushel less than by the North
ern route to New York, even while the
time to Liverpool by both routes is the
same.
If these advantages claimed by New Or
leans are genuine, there can be no dcubt
that in a short time the bulk of the grain
trade of the Northwest will be transferred
from Chicago to that place, and that the
Father of Waters will become the great
highway of transit for the Western cereals
to foreign markets
The effect of such a consultation on New
Orleans would be to make it, in a few years
the second city in commercial importance
in the Union—the great store house and
shipping point of the grain as well as cotton
of the West and South.
In view of our rather intimate connec
tion with New Orleans, by way of Selma
aud Mobile, and of the probable increase
of our transportation facilities to the Cres
cent City, by the roads soon to be con
structed from Now Orleans to Mobile and
from Mobile to Selma direct, besides the
contemplated opening of the Coosa river,
may we not hope to become sharers to some
extent in the benefits of this movenraut in
the gram trade ? It is possible that our
merchauts may find in New Orleans a bel
ter market for their wheat, dried fruit and
cotton even, than they have heretofore ob
tained in New York.

Almost a Fire.
Just at dusk last Friday evening tlierc
was an alarm of fire at the Sash and Blind
and Furniture Factory of Mills, Daily &
Co. The fire originated in a pile of trash
and shavings, probably from a cinder from
tie smoke stack.
The fire spread rapidly and soon was
blazing up some six or eight feet. There
was fortunately one of the Patent Fire Ex
tinguishers in the shop, already charged,
and this being brought to discharge its con
tents on the fast spreading flames, with al
most miraculous effect, almost instantly ex
tinguished the fire. The escape of the en
tire buildings and their coutents was no less
fortunate than wonderful.
We are proud to chronicle the fact that
both fire engines, with wonderful prompti-
titude, were brought ont, and by their en
ergy, the Companys showed that they pos
sess the right sort of material in their
ranks. We would suggest that some ar
rangement ought to be made by which
horses should be in readiness to haul the
engines in all eases of fires.
Another Alarm of Fire.
Our citizens were startled last Suuday
evening, while at supper, with the cry of
fire. It originated from the carelessness of
a servant in the employ of Mr. Abrahams,
who resides in Dr. King’s houses, in setting
fire to some kerosene while filling the lamps,
The fire was soon extinguished, but not till
after some curtains, bed clothes, etc., bad
been burned.
The fire Companies again acted prompt
ly, and showed that they are ever quick to
act whenever there is an alarm of fire.

What Is “Oue-Hane Fewer S”
The use of. the term “horso.powet”. is
very common; yet few, except goed mechan
ics and engineers, attach a definite mean.-
ing to it, but regard it as indicating, loose
ly, about the power which one horse could
exert. ' It is, however, when used in the
sense under consideration, ns definite as
possible, and means the power required to

he travels. The force thus exerted is call
ed in mechanics, “horse-power,” it being in
approxiinatiou to the average' amount of
continuous power it is fair to demand of a
strong horse. If we multiply the weight
raised (150 pounds) by the number of feet
it was moved, per minute (220) tbe product
will be the number of pounds which the
same power would raise one foot high in the
same length of time (33,000 pounds.)
The dynamometer is an instrument made '
erted in drawing. Those used for testing
the draft of agricultural’ ’ implements are
simply very strong spring balances or strong
spring steelyards, graduated to indicate the
.power required’ to raise any weight, within

The positiou is alarming, but if I shall
succeed in urging you to take some steps
in this important matter, I wilt be repaid
for my coming to' Memphis,’ ^TW' eoantry
at the present time is like Spain before its'
fall. It had been a powerful nation, and
had oomplete priwer of all the West Indies;
but where is she now?
read history answer the questien.. This
may also become the condition of the Uni
ted States, if you do not, exercise more self-
dependence. You imagine that by your
own strength of arm, yon may and can
maintain the situation, and avert all' this;
but I tell you'theie is a power you cannot
control unless you bring a power of suffi
cient force and strength against it, and that
is the money capital which is working
night ajd day. It is this that has made
.England and France powerful.
Before England controlled this vast cap
ital power, she was torn nearly asunder by
dissentions. Disturbances were frequent,
and she was always in a state of revolution.
The monopoly was broken np, and the mon
ey is now used for the furtherance of in
dustrial objects.
Through this means England has been
enabled to control one-third of the trade of
the globe. In Englandanarchyis but a name
and the-Honse of Lords, although heredi
taiy, is also hat a name, and the same may
he said of the nobility of the country. The;
people, from the time I have - referred to,
have prospered, and the want of it gave
us our civil war. If yon had the power al-
. luded to, you could hold slavery, but thee
money power wonld have been- in tbe i
es. They would have been found mntnally
aiding each other, while the black man
wonld have been held in proper subordina
tion. b-i-.i.
What, however, has been tbeeonseqnehce
I need not tell yon—you all know. We
took our law from the fatherlands, but in
doing so we tuned'the money leaf down.—
Those of-you who have read history know
that I am telling yon what is now a portion co ’
of history. I did not-'intend t> make la
speech to you. when I arose. I It was only
my intention to thank you for the very cor
dial reception -you have given me, and to
express the hope that tbe greatest harmo
ny wonld characterise all your deliberations
I willagain say.that -the money capital
ought to be used for promoting the bestir-
tereStfeef.tlm edaiitty; for carrying on the
trade, and building np-tha country, instead
of taping it concentrated and centralized.
There is danger to our finaneix! institutions
from this source, and it is well known to
me tbat those capitalists who control the
money are anxious to get a stronger govern
ment than they imagine the present.one to
be, sp they wish to protect themselyea and
their ill-gotten gains irom the people whom
tbiy hare crushed. We have even now in

ing in favor oi. an empire. -They wish , to

470 pounds in weight, an average of 27.95’
pounds per bale. One bale lost 80 pounds,
another 60, andsd oil. The-qriter added,
