Brokers are Offering 4Oc for Bank Of Tennessee,

There seems to be much doubt among persons

hold the notes should be careful how they nc
cept the report that the Supreme Court will de-

given no Indication whatever that such will be
its decision.

A LIRRARY.-lt must seem strange to
persons visiting our city that there is no
library here similar to those in cities Of
the size and Importance Of Memphis,
where our young men can pass their eve
nings cullng information from the works
Of the great men of this and former gem
erations. 1t is fact which admits Of no
denial, that men, especially young men,
and those who have no families, will,
when the business Of the day has closed,
naturally seek some method Of spending
the evening in recreation and enjoyment.
To be sure, many spend their evenings
in the society of lady friends, which is
certainly an admirable method, as 4
mans coarse nature becomes softened
and refined by constant intercourse with
women, who from the circumstances sur
rounding them naturally possess pure
and more elevated ideas and sentiments.
But this manner of passing their time is
not always convenient, and often, after
the worry of the day, they may not be in
the proper mood for visiting and need
other relaxation than that afforded by
conversation. Many Of them wend their
way 10 the concert saloons, bar.rooms,
billiard saloons and gambling establish
ments, in search of amusement and ex-
citement. The injurious and pernicious
influences which such associations inev-
itably exercise, need not be alluded to
by us. Their effect is well known by
every intelligent man in the community,
whilst the great advantages and beuef-
cial effect, in both an educational and
moral point of view, which would result
from a well regulated library, is too ap-
parent for even the most casual observer
to fail to notice. A few years since the
Memphis Library Association was estab-
lished, books were purchased, rooms
fitted up, officers elected, and committees
for every purpose imaginable appointed.
All went well for awhile, until some OBJ
jections were raised to the politics of the
officers, when the concern commenced
going down hill and finally closed its
DOORS The books belonging to the Asso.
citation are still in the room where they
we're formerly kept, which was recently
occupied as an Office by Judge Hunter,
and is now used by Esquire Lee. A no.
tice is posted up ordering persons not to
touch the books without permission,
which is enough to restrain any honora-
BILE man from doing so, but it is very
careless way for them to be kept Why
cannot some of our influential merchants
organize q Library Association and take
charge ofthat library, which would form
q good foundation for one that would be
credit to our city. Memphis should
have library, and if no one else will
attend to the matter the Chamber OF
Commerce or the Board of Aldermen
should look after it. We hope some of
our citizeis will interest themselves in
the librari question, and continue until
success orowns their efforts.

POLICEMAN BEATS A NEGRO. = We
know from experience that it is decidedly
annoying and makes people think cuss
words" when they are despatched with
mud while crossing the street through
the carelessness of drivers of vehicles,
which often appears to be intentional,
and we felt a sort Of qualification yester-
day evening on learning that couple of
draymen had received good threshing
for bespattering people. One OF them,
negro, was hurt quite badly by police
man, who used his club on the negros
head until it bled freely. The negro
complained to Superintendent Beau
mont, who has suspended the policeman.
We hope he viii be released, for he is a
good officer, having served for two years
in the old police force, and secured his
present position on the recommendation
of ex mayor Park and other prominent
citizens. His Hibernian blood was ex-
cited, very naturally, by the carOlessness
of the negro, and his first fault should be
looked over.
