BAND OF THIEVES The West Tennes.
see Wing has been informed by gen
tleman that a short time since two ne
groes were detected in Shelby county, in
the act Of stealing horse. They were
taken in charge by some citizens, who
extorted from them confession of start
ling import. They stated that there was
an organized band, of nearly one hun
dred men, who were engaged in horse
stealing Their headquarters were To-
Gated at some point on the Mississippi
below Memphis, and several of their
number had lately been sent to operate
in West Tennessee and Kentucky
Whether the statement of these negroes
be true or not, it is certain that horse
thieves have recently visited this county.
Within a very short time, not less than q
dozen horses have been stolen in this
county, and, one night last week, three
fine horses were stolen from well secured
stables in this city A gentleman in this
place recently bought a horse from a
man, who, on the following night, stole
the horse he had sold, and made his es-
cape. Let this be a warning to our citi-
zens not to purchase horse from any
one who cannot prove that he came by
the animal in an honest way.

ARREST OF A HORSE THIEF.
Two stolen Animals Recovered.

Yesterday morning a farmer, residing
in Desoto county, Miss, observed a
strange negro riding fine looking horse
on the Oxford road followed in few
minutes by another also well mounted.
Considering their appearance suspicious
in view of the many horses stolen quite
recently, the farmer informed some Of
his neighbors, and party was organized
and started in pursuit After following
the track for few miles it left the road,
but they still kept on and were soon re-
warded by the sight of the horses, which
were hitched to tree They approached
cautiously, and found one negro asleep,
who said the other one had gone off with
white man. The captured negro and
the two horses were brought to town this
morning by two Of the party, while the
others started in pursuit Of the
missing negro The darkey in Jail

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT
Courts The arguments Of counsel in
the cases of Jeffres vs. Beecher, ct. al,
and Burford VS.. Holmes ct al occupied
the entire day yesterday. The former
came up on an order of court obtained
on Monday, upon p ID. Beecher, one Of
the defendants, to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt.
The case is one involving the title to pro-
perty purchased at the United States
Commissioner sale for direct taxes,
and the contempt occurred 10 June last,
when the defendant was served with a
notice that the plaintiff would on GER
tain day apply for writ of injunction
to restrain defendant from taking or OBJ
tanning possession of the property in
question. Whereupon Beecher obtained
at once a writ Of possession, and had it
served The question Of contempt was
argued at length by McRae for the de-
PENDANT, and Humes for plaintiff, and
taken under advisement by the Court
The latter case came up on question
Of jurisdiction, and was long and ably
argued by counsel The plaintiff, Bur
ford, resident of Missouri, sued the de-
PENDANTS, Davis and Vanbrook, residents
of Tennessee, and Holmes, resident of
Mississippi, obtaining service on Holmes
in Tennessee. Holmes appears in the
case and pleads to the jurisdiction ofthe
Court. Messrs Randolph for plaintiff,
and Clapp for defendant. The matters
in this suit were also taken under advise
ment by the Court Mr. Reinhart, grand
juryman, was discharged from further
