SABBATH ADJUSTMENTS In
MEMPHIS.
WIFE WHTPPERS IN THE
SHADE
Shooting in Chelsea ana Pinch.

Almost every Sabbath there IL some
disgraceful scene enacted in q MIDST
which would do credit to the Five Points
OF New York, or the lowest sinks
of Baltimore OF Washington. Among
the many class OF criminals, who usually
frequent cur police courts On Monday
morning, is a class known as wife
whippers. Strange TO say, these gentry
were unusually scarce yesterday morn
ing, but their places were bounti-
fully supplied by others who, if their
crimes were not more horrible, were
more than usually numerous. The region
of Chelsea, generally known as so quiet
and ~puritsnical, furnished one case, that
Of an impudent negro, who defed the
laws, and thought that either his recent
Acknowledgement OF the result of the late
election gave him the right TO do as he
pleased, in defiance Of any white mans
law. Mr.. Justice Miller and Officer Ag-
new put q stop TO his Qualification for the
present. Several shots were fired, but
nobody seriously hurt. An estab-
lishment on Market street, near
Fourth, Inhabited by a class Of
females known as polite sud attentive
lady walters, was the scene Of another
disgraeeful affair. Two men named
NliCubFl HhIb huu hnlidM Ruilhf ~
tered the house spoken OF, which is kept
by one Fanny Parker. They aud the
inmates INDUCED freely In the use of the
ardent, which, as a natural consequence,
ended in a quarrel. Words came to
blows the latter to pistol shots. Seven
persons were arrested and furnished with
quarters in the Adams street prison.
Hart, who seemed to have done the
NEST of the shooting, was fined yesteT-
day morning for shooting within the city
and was afterwards brought before a
Justice of the peace on q charge Of shoot
ing with intent to kill, and released on
giving bonds in the sum OF $1,000. For
fear that two shooting affairs should moi
be enough on one Sabbath day, Adams
street contributed its quota. A negro
named Godfrey Wilson entered b sa-
loon of Nh. Solave, near the bayou, after
dark. The proprietor asked what he
wanted; he replied, " nothing" Taking
slip of paper and pencil from his
pocket, he made a memorandum and
left. Before going very far, however, he
was shot in the back ana fell. Atirst the
wound was not supposed to be dangerous,
but yesterday it was thought 10 be very
dangerous. It would appear from the
negrOis own statement hat he was doing
a little detective business on his own
hook. The party who fired the shot has
not yet been discovered. Since the Sun
day that the man Sullivan was killed
the stock yards in Chelsea, this is
the most fruitful criminal day that we
had for a long time, but the class of
persons who are guilty OF such lawless-
ness are the most abandoned and low
down class of whites, together with a
negroes, who think now they own
as we'll as control the country.

FIRE YESTERDAY MoRN1Na.-A

FIRE YESTERDAY MoRNING.-A fire
broke out about three O'Clock, yes
tercay morning, in a building on JEFF
ferson street, below the New Memphis
theater, occupied by Messrs. Hicks &
Smith as a livery stable; also, by Mr.. s.
F. Mailman as a saddle and harness shop.
The fire was discovered by q young man
who slept OF the premises. He quickly
gave the alarm. Engines Nos. 8 and 4
were quickly on the spot, and, as usual,
did good service. Messrs. Hicks &Smith
had property destroyed TO the amount of
about four thousand dollars, which
was fully covered by insurance.
The loss of Mr.. Mailman will
probably amount to s20O0-no Insurance.
The adjoining brick building, owned by
James q ROoss, was damaged to the ex-
tent Of n thousand dollsrs-no insur-
ance. The cause of the fire may have
been accidental, but were the matter
closely investigated, we are inclined to
think that it might be traced to incen-
diarism.

He says:

or to hearken to the enemy.

and all the rural obscurities engaged in the
pleasing task of editing the county printing
have raised a despairing cry for Grant.

gllsh, that the people no longer believe in

Very well. Grant has not much politi
cal sagacity, but his friends, Thurlow Weed
and James Gordon Bennett, will help him tc
acorrect reading of our conduct. He is their
candidate, and is made available by our mis-
fortunes. He will have to carry us and oul

The number of hands employed is from
seventv-fve to eighty, and at cost for labor
of over fifty thousand dollars per annum.-
Of plows, over three h1ndred are tarnak put
every week, in complete order for sale or
shipment. As might be expected dnring
the yinter months, avery heavy stock &C
cumulates in the ware houses of the coacetn,
but on the opening of navigatien,it is soon
decimated by the demands of the fertile
states that stretch around us. To keep the
reputation of these plows up to their proper
standard, it is essential that much care be
exercised in the purchase of material. To
obtain none but that of durable and snbstsn-
cial qualities is highly necessary. Of wood,
the principal supplies are drawn from Indi-
ana, Wisconsin, and Southern Illinois. The
steel is obtained from some of the most re-
liable firms OF Pittsburgh. At the outset,
Baford b Co. endeavored not so much to OBJ
tain present profits, as to build up a repus
tation for hrst class workmanship on first
class material. Time has shown the wis
dom of their judgment, and from their sue
cess those of our citizens who are just ven

learn a very wholesome moral. To win q
