MEMPHIS. The Mournful Story of Har Financial Ituln -Can??? tnnt Led to tho Itepoal of liar Charter, Nashville American. In un interview with Representative Smith, of Memphis, yesterday, he gave an American reporter tho following graphic accouut of the causes which led to tho Im^sago by tho General Assembly of tho ?ill to repeal tho charter oftbat city : The condition of our city has been such as to cause groat uneasiness as lo the future among all classes ol' her peo ple. Her citizens have, been holding frequent consultations as to tho best pol icy lo pursue for tue benefit of all con cerned. I want here tos?ate that wo aro not re pudiators. Wo cannot be put in this jio Mtion. Wo want to pay, and have paid, until now. Our eily taxes aro $3 ou tho fH'O of taxable property, and aro vastly oil tho increase every year. Hut for tho relief granted by tho Legislature wo would have hud to pay nu a-iseasmeot of $310,000 special mandamus tuxes this coming year. Our next assessment would ??.ive been much larger, and if wo had gone on we would, in a few years, had to pay seven per cent, of all our taxable values in taxation. No peoj ls could stand this. No legitimate business can pay six per cent, taxes and hold up under it. Resides, our delinquent tax lise is very large, and was constantly in creasing. Year after year wo have seen thc accumulation of hundreds of thou sands of uncollected taxes, mid tho prompt taxpayer, from year to year, waa re assessed and bad to pay double; and we had ono case in which there had already been four levies of mandamus writs from tho United States courts, and only a few day? since a fifth writ was ordered, making five, to collect ono debt, and then, in thc face of tho fact thal tho uncollected levien now amount to $41(5,000 and the debt only $120, 000. Yet *o imperfect is our system for tho collection of taxes that tho prompt taxpayer had again to pay for the delinquent. And again the merchant's stock could bo loviod on and auld, and ho had to pay or leavo town, and so wo wore crippled and hampered on all aides. Strange na it might acorn, our homo creditors have been more rapacious and relentless than othcra. These homemade harpies and cormorants had pounced up on tho city daily, and had been devouring UH. What caret! they if tho property of our city waa destroyed, if its coin merci was driven to other and moro favorable localities, if our manufactories, our ware houses and our machino ?hops wero forc ett to cloiu mid thousands ol' meit and women tiri ven to starvation's door? Reside* all this and in addition to all this, wo have boon nlllicted and scourged ns few people in thia world evor have been. Within a period of live years our city baa twleo been visited by the most terrible and fatal plague ever known in the world. Thousands of our citizen? have been forced to fleo from their homes ami ?cok safety in all portion-? of the country, leaving our beloved city ono immcusc chama! house, ita commerce. dead, tho sound of tho anvil and tho busy bum of business hushed, ailuueo reigning in our bireuia, UnbrokenS?V? by thu rumble of thu death-carl, the wail of tho mourners for tho dc.nl, or the cry of orphaned children. Tho death roll of our citizens from tho phigttp of 1S78 numbered over livo thousand, reducing our population onu-teutb. Aua yet this is not all. In addition lo thc immense loss to the business intorcbtn of our eily, over $3,000,000 were lost to us by tboso who (lcd from tho fever, in actual expenses for traveling a:id board. Wo hail to ap peal to tho Christian charity of tho world to help us bury our dead, and the one thing that relieves the awful desolation waa tho constant stream of lubstantial sympathy that poured iu up ni us from our Northern brclhruu, from Cauada, from tho South, the East, thu Weat and from tho Old World. Wo want to bury our own dead. Wo want to clean up our streets. Wo want to build our scwera nud pavo our atreeta. So far aa human sympathy and aaaistauco could lilford relief, wo cxpericuccd it in tho munificent beuefacliona that poured in upon us, but our generous friends abroad, after tho horrora of tho pestilence had subsided, took occasion, aa well they might, to admonish us of our duty to pro tect ourselves against a recurrence ortho awful scourge by proper sanitary mens ures, foremost uuiong which ia our ex pensive ayatcm of sewerage. Wo repre sented tho urgent ncccaaitica of our aitu ation to our creditors, and implored them to Huspoud the exactionaoflheirdcmands for a little while aud afford us au oppor tunity to devoto our shuttered resources to the protection and pr?servation of our city and thc lives o? our people, but they seemed inaensiblo to pity and turned a deafcartoour entreaties. Hud wo en joyed tho rights and privileges' of an in dividual or o?a tiri vate corporation oven we 1 could, under tho humano aud juat pro visions of tho law, have gono into bank ruptcy or mado an assignment of our assola and obtained relief in thia way. But, being a public or municipal corpo ration, wo could do neither and could only look for aaaiatauce to tho lcgialatlvo department of tho government to which pertaina the power to crcato and to des troy theso political aubdiviaioua of tho Statu. In our despair, then, wo turned to tho Legislature and invoked ita iutor- ' position to reacuoi from impending ruin tho commercial metropolis of tho State. Why People Sleep hi Church.

Thoro is no little admixture of truth in tho following extract from his Before becoming a minister I found that religion waa associated iu thu minda ot. many with dullness. I found peoplo wido awake at political conventions when a Govern-;: was to bs nominated, but somnolent in bouses that bad como for the coronation of Christ. I saw people intend in assemblages wbero tbeir'finau cial iut?rcstH woro being discussed, but making .tn effectual strugglo to appear vigilant when tho question was whether they should bo forever mansioned or pauperized. I saw court rooms agitated where ono man wag on tr?nl for hU Hf?t but whole assemblages indifferent when the eternal interests of five hundred were iu peril. I thought then what I think now, and every lay man thinks, that there ia som.'vhing radically wrong about pulpits and cburcbes. Tv keop awako wc used to cat carroway seeds or cloves, or hold up ono loot, or pinch ourselves, .orcouut tho window pains, or a mis chievous brother wou?d stimulate us hy tho ?tick of a pin, or an older sister givo us a reproving look which would fill us v-ith self-abnegation, until gmxing at the pow where Ibo seven oidora satin tho old Outeb .Church, wo saw tho aoven sleeper?, tildie good men having lost their hold at the second bead of the discourse and then wo felt that after all thero might bo hope for tu? when tmck good pion were ?mper itiCt.

People who are troubled with what tho doctors call In not sleep on tito pillow- -liiul the needed ano dyne ir. some of our churches. What morphine and chloral and pillow of hops cannot do tho sermon and a long prayer accomplish. All sorts of stratagems pcopio apply in church to oppe-.r wakeful, sometimes during the soru.on puttiugdown their heads to givo you tho idea that they aroovercomo with emotion, w hen they ?re merely overcome with drowsinci*. If an audience sleep, it is the fault of the minister. When a Scotch pastor cried out tu ono of his' sleeping hearers,''Donald, take n pinch of snuff if you can't keep awake," Donald replied you "had heller put tho pindi of snuff in the sermon." If, with all the artillery of eternity at his hand, the preacher cannot keep an audience awake, he has missed his pro fession. 1 f the people keep taking out their watches to see how ?oar the sermon i? done, it is because they feel bored. What would you think of a man at a banquet takine; out his watch to see how soon he would bu able to stop ealing a cream meringue? Tho gospel is a ban quet, and our populations nro starving lor it, and they want something for tho soul to eat and they have no patience with nu entertainment which is all nap kin ring and linger bow!. All this com plaint against poople because they do not ('.onie to church should ho put whero it belongs. It is not so much tho fault of the people as of in, the clergy. I say to those young men preparing for tho min istry, if you want to gel an audience do as i'aul did-make a big stir. "There arose no small stir about that way." Another "Trogftn Horse"--Tho Dan gers of Army Ktiiirgunkution. A plan for tho reorganization of the Army has been ?.inned on to tho Army Appropriation Mill ami rushed through tho House of Itcprosentative-, ..?th in decent haste. The majority of the mem bers had bailly time to re;>J carefully the details of the scheine. They cer tainly had not familiarised themselves with the consequences of the changes that nro proposed. Tho House was bad gered into swallowing the proposition us a whole, and in HO doing, un ICM saved by thu Senate, the Democracy have com mitted the most serious blunder of thu session-a blunder thal rises to the pro portions of a crime ! There* was no nccd^of break-neck speed. In point of organization thc Army never was in hotter condition, lt is quito possible that ?onie changes in the Military Kystom are advisable, and there arc, perhaps, meritorious feat ure? in tho plan adopted by tho House. Tho House, however, left itself at the .ncr'.-.; of tho framers of the reorganiza tion scheme, laking tho responsibility for its passage without knowing its de tails and possible effect, Necessarily ibu m. hillery of the Army is intricate, ro (|uiiing tho nicest adjustment if it be in tended to work smoothly. Congress put" I itself in the position of thrusting a beam into the midst of n complex engine, with? out knowing whether thc effect will be tc destroy it, lo stop it, or lo reverse its mo tion. Tho Senate Is not as ram u body an the House, and there n hope that il will strike out tim reorganization clauso ol the Army Appropriation bill. For th h course lhere are special and gcnoral rca i sons. The House gave way to the selim less clamor against tho .Stall'.

Wo tell tb Democracy, too, that they cannot aflbn : to go before the people with hope o confidence, when it is known that the have stripped tho uniform from 'he bael I of soldiers who havo grown gray in th service, and have no profession hui thu of arms. That civilians should do !hi is barely comprehensible ; that soldier1 especially Confederate soldiers, ghoul consent to it is, to us, monstrous and in explicable.

AKitiAiiTKLKOBAi'iiY.-Tho increasing u^u of the telegraph and telephone is causing our cities to bc ovor laid with a network of wires attached lo the chim neys of buildings, or to frames erected on their roofs, i'erhnpa this involves no danger or special inconvenient', and ls certainly more ngrcoablo Mian running thc wires on poles erect ul by tho street side, in some {dace?, Ni w York city for example, there lias been 'ulk of requir ing telegraph wire* to IM run under ground, but this method also has its in conveniences. Professor Loomis of Wash ington is experimenting in the moun tains of West Virginia to dem?nstrate what he calls aerial i ilegraphy, which ia b.i?cd on the theory that nt certain eleva tions Ibero is a natural electric current by laking nil vantage of which irt! may bu wholly dispensed with, lt is said that bu 'ms telegraphed as far na eleven miles by means of kites flo .rn with copper ? wire. When the kite? reached thc saino I altitude or got into tho MIIIIO current communication by means of an instru j ment similar lo tho ?Morse instrument was easy and perfect, but ceased as soon as one of the kites was lowered, ile has built towers oil two hills about twenty miles apart, and from tho tops of them run up steel rods into tho region of Ibo electric current. Tho statement is mado that in thi-< way, without any wire, ho has been abb to keep up telegraphic communication for months at a limo. A heavy storm, however, prevents com munication for a time, probably by dis arranging the current. In a rccout let ter to tho editor of a Washington jour nal, Professor Loomis announced that ho had recently discovered that tho tel ephone could bc- used for this method of communication as well as telegraphic iiisiiumenta, urn! that of lalo he had doti" all his talking with his assistant, twenty miles away, by telephone, tho connection being aerial only. He claims that ho can telegraph across the sea without other wires tuan those necessary lu reach the ?levai ion of the current. This claim of Professor Loomis belongs to the cluss of remarkable discoveries uni yet i remonstrated -a very largo cl ?1*? - in which students of science are working with great energy. - /luxton Advertiser.
