18th civil districts are rapidly multiply
ing. Already several gentlemen are un-
derstood as willing to serve in each dis
trict, and others are daily falling into

our magistrates are formed does not
shed fadeless lustre on the bench. The

Somebody who can write legibly and is
able to read all the easy words in the
code. An educated special constable is
not always at hand, and therefore a
magistrate should be able, if necessary,
to so write proper names and dates that
they can be d0ciphered with as little
difficulty as Sancrit or Coptic This
will facilitate business and cause every
thing to work smoothly.

WEST TENNESSEE TRADE AND NASH.
vILLE.-The completion of sbe North
western railroad has opened portion
of West Tennessee to Nashville The
road crosses the Tennessee river at
Johnsonvile and passes through Carroll,
Benton, Weakley, 0bion and Fulton
counties. The Nashville merchants are
vigorously striving for this trade, great
portion of which legitimately belongs to
Memphis. Our merchants have larger
and better stocks of goods and can
afford to sell cheaper than the Nashville
merchants; but they mike no exertions,
while the latter are straining every
nerve and bringing every appliance into
requisition. Memphis should control
the entire trade of the country for one
hundred and fifty miles in every direc-
tom yet St. Louis, Cincinnati and
Louisville merchants take a great pro-
portion of our Arkansas commerce from
under our noses, and now Nashville,
which for years has been walled up,
commercially, proposes TO divide West
Tennessee with us. The geographical
position of Memphis has done wonders
for us but the outside world is at last
impressed with the imp ortance of our
commerce, and the day is coming when
we must fight for our supremacy. 1t is
by properly directed energy and enter
prise that commercial cities are made
great We may be the natural entrepOt
of the most fruitful agricultural region
in the world, yet its benefits will ulti-
mately be lost to US unless our induce
ments are superior to those of outside
competitors. The game is in our own
hands if we play the cards properly.

UNITED STATES cIRcUlT COURT
The Return In tho Mnliken Case
to be Amended ana heard
Saturday.
Application OF the Old Gas Com
pany for an Injunction
Against the New.
The Riddle Pillow Case Again .
No Decision upon the De-
murTer.

Mr.. Justice Swayne, this morning,
delivered the opinion of the court in the
Milliken habeas corpus case. The
motion of Col. Yerger, of counsel for
the prisoner, entered yesterday, was dis.
cussed. The motion was for an order of
court requiring the officer, Lieut.. Hugo,
to so amend his return to the writ, as to
include copy of the military order
under which the prisoner was arrested !;
and, also, to show the circumstances of
the offence charged, viz; Violating his
parole. After reviewing the authorities
which had been presented, which were
very few, and large number, not dis
cussed by the counsel, the court decided
that the order might be entered requir-
ing the officer to amend his return so as
to include the General Orders No. 1873,
,under which the prisoner was held, but
that the motion for amendment, stating
the circumstances of the offense charged,
must be oveyruled. The court then
called the attention of the counsel to
several authorities, and the further con-
sideration of the case was postponed
until Saturday morning next.
AN application was made to the U. s.
Circuit Court this morning by the Mem.
phis Gas Company for an injunction
against the Memphis Gayoso Gas Com.
pany, to restrain them from continuing
the work upon the pipes and gas works
The case of Riddle, Coleman & Co. vs.
Gen. Pillow was called up this morning
in the Federal Court by the suggestion
of number of new authorities to the
counsel therein, by His Honor, Justice
Swayne. No decision das been given as
yetupon the demurrer which was argued
on Tuesday.
