DR.. PALMER's LEoTURE.-Dr. Palmer,
Of New Orleans, the eloquent, impas-
stoned Southern divine, will lecture at
the Greenlaw Opera House Thursday
night, for the benefit of the Mission
Chapel His talents, fervor and reputa-
ton would secure an overlooking house
on any occasion, and will doubtless draw
a large assemblage of our most intelli-
gent and refined people at the Greenlaw.
The committee having the matter in
charge have decided to sell reserved seats,
and Mr.. Katzenbach has kindly volun.
teered to sell the seats. The price of re-
served seats is one dollar, but those who
have already bought tickets can secure
reserved seats from Mr.. Kaizenbach by
paying twenty-five cents extra.

IMPOSITION ON TRAVELLERS There is
class of hackmen who make it their busi-
ness to swindle strangers who come to
our city and are little green about
the customs and usages Of travelling.
Yesterday evening some gentlemen who
came in on the Charleston train, bound
from Alabama to Texas, were induced
by some rascally hackmen to get into
their hacks and ride to the steamer Gen
try, though they had already purchased
omnibus tickets, the hackmen telling
them it was oil right and to ride in tasir
hacks. On arriving at the river they
were charged from three to five dollars
each, and some one of the number, a
white man, pretended to be tax-collec.
tor. and insisted on each man paying his
poll tax. they stated they had paid
their taxes at home in Alabama. apd one
of the number was fortunate enough to
have his receipt with him, while the 9th
srs promised to make proper showing
very soon, The police should look after
these hackmen and remind them what
the law will do with such as swindle for
a living.

ARxsl ARMsi ARNsl-Ten cases of
rifie-muskets were received at Conner IL
Richardson's yesterday, shipped from
New York by railroad, and consigned to
L. Holman, in this city, who, it is said
refuses to have anything to do with them
since their arrival. To say the least of
it, it looks strange that two hundred fine
guns should be shipped to an agent
here who refuses to receive them on ar
rival; yet we would be the last who
would endeavor to prevent Mr.. Hell
man getting rid of the odium of re-
ceiving and being the means Of throw
ing a FIRE brand in the midst Of
a people who are already ripe for rapine
and blood. Messrs. Conner Il Richard
SON inform us that these guns are to be
distributed to the different auction stores
in the city and sold to the highest bidder
I'VE all do know that Brutus and Cassius
are honorable men" and we would not
for the world say evil of Messrs Conner
& Richardson, but should they not
be introduced to the hangman's
rope, then, certainly, justice has fed.
Men that will keep an open house for the
reception of guns and ammunition that
are the cause of stirring up strife in a
community are fendsi and one who would
do thing Of that kind when the public
mind is sore and yet unsettled from the
last war, certainly places himself outside
the pale of Law, and should be dealt with
by every honest man as q murderer
and an outlaw to good society. The
Radical party cries peace. Well, let us
have peace-but not the peace that the
lion, with his claws on the throat of his
victim, would give; not the peace that
the savage would offer his captive, tied
hand and foot-the light of the burning
torch flaming in his eyes. Let the sacri-
fcs be what it may, We will have peace
sooner or later.

THIRD RACE.
This was for the Wine Stake, Sl0O-
entrance money to the second horse,
mile heats, free for all. There were
three entries-West \ Yaughans bee
Farris, Smiths Queen of the West, and
Barnes Chemisette. In the morning
pools were sold for $40 on Queen of the
West for first choice, against 81, s. and
Sc for the others. Chcmisette was the
favorite in one or two pools. On the
ground both Queen of the West aad
Chemisette were sold as favorites. Once
Chemiselte went for S25 first, Queen of
the West $26 second, and Bee Farris S26
third choice. The sharps were divided
as to fayorites--a fact that caused out
siders to bet cautiously, and feel disposed
to wait heat.
FIRST Heat-The Bonnie Scotland
mare had the pole, Ohemisette second
and Bee Farris third, The start was
good, the brown gelding Jumping into
the lead and keeping it until passing
both quarters. The first was made in
2s1 and the second in 5sk. Between the
second and third poles Chemisette moved
forward and tapped with the geldlng,
holding him head ard head until far into
the hens stretch, when the Barnes entry
showed a slight front. The two came
down at a slashing psces both contesting
for the first place, but when nearly uu--
der the string, Chemsette shot forward
and took the heat (ibe best made during
the ssy) By q head, Queen of the West q
splendid third. Time, 2s3- 5s3-l:56a.
Second Heak-Chemisstte the fav0r-
tie 10 the pools, at SIG to $40 on Queen
Of the West, and IS on Farris- A pool
sold for chsmisette $40, Queen $50 as
second, aud Farris S12 as third choice.
Cheuisette took the lead, Queen Of the
West second, and Farris third. After
passing the quarter, Queen OF the west
gave the Barnes mare the go-by, taking
the front and passing the half mile m os,
two lengths ahead. Thsre was no change

home stretch Chemisette came up little,
As II u chatsaes for the hrst place. She
dropped back, and the Queen galioped
under the sring, taking the beat BY two
lengths, Farris shut cat. Time, 6s-2Oos.
