An immense mass meeting was hei held at Louisville, Ky., on Saturday night to ratify the ‘proteedings of the Philageiphis Con veutio: General Forrest addressed the mertng, saying he wanted no more fighting, and when he laid down his arms he bore no Milice against northern men. He saw the politicians contd not be trasted, and those who wanted to stay at home were the ones to send to the Legislature and Congress. He was wil- ling to trust everything to those he had met upon the field, but those who shirked their @uty and were casematedin Washington could pO hore be trusted than those who did the same thepg in the South. Resolutions were adopted accepting the address of the Phila. delphin Gonvention and endorsing the Presi- dent. The meeting was one of the largest and Most enthusiastic ever held there the session of the Pharmacentical con- vention on Friday, in Detroit, Michigan, seve- ral amendments ta the constitution were passed. A committee was appointed on in- ternal revenue tax with instructions to con- fer with the commissioner. The next annual meeting willbe held in New York. A com- munication from the Austrian College of Phar macy, asking for samples of American fruits. Was referred to the New York College. A motion was adopted providing for represen ing this society at the In‘ernational Pharma- ceutical convention at Paris next year, A ret amount of important business was transacted, and the convention adjourned «in: die, Tn the afternoon the members enjoyed au excursion upon Lake Erie The prospects of the cotton crop in all parts of Georgia are gloomy, on account of the con- tinued drought. In Southwestern Orgs, where the yield was formerly one bale to acres, not more than one bale to ten acres will be realized from the present p. This is equally true of other sections. Accounts from Florida represent the late drought as followed by heavy rains, which seriousiy injured the cotton, One-half of what is known as the middle crop will be lost. The cotton crop in Mississippi and Alabama is also represented gloomy, on account of drought and the boll worm, In Memphis. on Saturday, an attempt was made by @. M. Wood, U. S. tax collector, to xill Colonel M. C. Galloway, editor of the Memphis Avalanche. Wood cailed him out of his room and fired upon him, the ball passing through Galloway’s band, inflicting a painful wound. Wood attempted to escape, but was pursued and captured. An excited crowd gathered, and he would have been hung to a lamp post bat for General Forrest, who. taking hold of him, told the crowd that justic should be meted out tobim, but for the present he would protect him. Wood is under arrest. A bill of injunction has been filed in the Cir- cuit Court of Charleston, S. C., by certam creditors of the bank of Chraleston, against the bank, its president and directors, requiring them to produce a statement of the assessments of the institution atthe November term of the court, when Justice Wayne or Jadge Bryan will preside. The nominal value of the notes of the bank at the present time is over 20 or 25 cents on the dollar.
