The WAY OF THE TRANsGREssoR IS HARD.
A young man not more than twenty-five
years old, named J. G. Merritt, was yester-
day before Judge Charles Mooar CHARGED
with ste aling $195 from man named C1d-
worth, jeweler of Cincinnati Some weeks
since, Merritt and Cudworth were travelling
on the same boat going from New Orleans
to Memphis, and an acquaintance arising
between them, they agreed to stop at the
same hotel in the latter city. While there
Cudworth alleges that Merritt stole from
his trunk the above sum Of money. The
facts ELECTED yesterday caused Judge Mooar
to place Merritt in jail to await reduisition
from the Governor of Tennessee. The ac-
cused was attended yesterday by his sister,
who appeared almost heart-broken at the
sad fate of her brother.
BLEEDING A CANDIDATE.-A prominent
young lawyer Of this city, q candidate tor
the Office Of Prosecuting Attorney, was ap-
preached day or two ago by couple of
lseedy-looking customers. After eyeing him
for few moments, and taking q perspective
view of him from head to foot, one of them
exclaimed
Say, amt you n candidateP ...
, Yes" returned Mr.. @.
"Well, me and this chap is going to give
you lift, and we thought you might have
an extra dime in your pockets"
The appeal, coming as it did, in such an
earnest and pointed style, had the desired
effect. The dime was handed out and the
two 'lifters'' went on their way rejoicing.
Yesterday two men, named
Henry Hebell and Henry Hufnagel, were
before Squire Howard, upon warrant
issued from the Office of Squire Eggleston,
charged with stealing steer from Perry
Service. The case was continued until
Saturday afternoon at one o'clock, and the
accused admitted to $50 bail each. ALI the
parties live on the outskirts of the city.
RELEAsED.-Jno. Jenkins was yesterday
released from Jail, upon his promise to leave
the city. He has long been plague to the

rid Of him so easily.

FINISHED. A large three-story brick
store has just been erected by our enter
prising fellow citizen, Mr.. John Butcher
The first floor will be used for dry-goods
store, and is furnished with every thing
appertaining to the convenience and COM
fort of both buyer and seller. The second
floor has been fitted up for dwelling, and
is divided into some four or five large
rooms, all connecting with each other. The
third floor, or main hall, occupies the entire
length and width of the building, and is de-
signed for holding society meetings. 1t has
been secured for the Masonic Festival, on the
9th of this month. The building is ninety
one feet long by thirty feet wide. The car
pentering was done by Messrs. Gideon &
Co., and the painting by H. B. Purse. Inside
shutters adorn the windows, and gas pipes
and fixtures are introduced in all the rooms.
The building is an ornament to the city, and
is valued at $4,000.
DIED IN JAm.-A German named Hoffman
Simmons died, night before last, in Jail. We
were credibly Informed that his death was
caused by the smallpox, with which disease
he was suffering before being placed in Jail.
An inquest was held on him, yesterday, and
the jury returned verdict of death by
intemperance and exposure. His friends
who reside in the southwestern part of the
city, refused to have any thing to do with the
deceased, and he was, therefore, inferred al
the expense of the public.
PRowLING ABOUT-A discharged soldier,
named Dennis 0Brien, night before last
was found in an clubhouse of Captain James
Brogan. He was arrested and taken before
Mayor Hawkins, who sent him to Jail as a
vagrant. He was subsequently released and
ordered to leave the city, which he very
willingly did. We wonder how many more
OBriens can be found in Uncle Sans gal.

The sixth WARD-B Manufacturer
More Protection from Fire Demanded The
Sixth Ward, bounced by Fifth-street, Gem
tral-avenue and the river, is peculiarly
adapted, by its location, to manufacturing
purposes, and large number of capitalists
have ayailed themselves of its advantages, so
that, at present, not less than 5000, 900 of
capital is invested in establishments of va
rious kinds. Notwithstanding this, however,
that section has been left almost entirely
without protection against fire, in conse
quence of which many heavy losses have
been incurred, as a few minutes may be
sufficient to give the flames such a hold upon
the combustible material of some of those
large furniture and building establishments,
that TO save them would be impossible.
Night before last Mr.. Noble introduced a
proposition into the City Council with o
view OF establishing steam fire. engine in
the ward, but no definite action was taken
upon it, and it is uncertain whether a
majority of the Council will tayor the
measure. To establish the engine, however,
would be an obvious act of Justice to man
who have done much TO give this city im-
poTtance abroad, and who have added largely
to its wealth and population, by giving
employment TO hundreds Of worthy meehan-
ies htt
Mr.. Walker proposed to supply the de-
hciency by stationing some of the old
clumsy engines, unfit to be drawn around,
in the ward, but as the experiment, to say
the least, would be a very doubtful one Il
was rejected.
Mr.. Noble will probably renew his prop
osition in short time, and press It upon
The attention Of members, aGd we hope il
may Isrrivv favorable consideration.

TIE NEW American JOURNAL IN LONDON,

The NEW AMERICAN JOURNAL IN LONDON
A London correspondent says:
The first volume of the paper recently es-
tablished in London, devoted to American
interests, has just been completed. Six
months ago the new journal was commenced,
and, as the editors say, they are in the full
tide of successful experiment. At least 3d.
900 Americans defile through Europe annu-
ally, and the number increases every year !;
the number, too, of our countrymen who are
residents abroad, is quite large particularly
in Englandi and there appears no reason
why a good American paper should not
flourish here, as well as the Albion in New
York, or the Courier des EtGts Unis. The
London American is a weekly, and is a very
passable paper, with its chit-chat of occur
rences on the other side of the water, though
doubtless its style admits of elevation. But
we may hope that with increasing age and
resources il may. discard much that seems
puerile in its columns when we consider
that its visits are not so frequent as to harass
the editors with want OF sterling COPY, and
that its price is neeA)y equal to that of the
best journals of the British press. --.--
