The THEATRE.-The house last night was
literally jammed. Every seat was taken, and
chairs were brought in to accommodate the
numbers who were standing. "Kathleen
Mavourneen" and s'Terence OMoore" we're the
great attractions. ''Kathleen's" winning ways
and lively songs won her hosts of friends,
while the song, Wearing of the Green,
brought down the house. Mr.. and Mrs. Wat
kins have brought with them the highest Gre
dentials from the Dublin theatre, and the
audience that greeted them last night was
convincing proof that they were appreciated as
actors Of the highest order. The play was
admirably performed, and was received
throughout with rounds of applause.

MEMPHIS August 81 1873

L.
MEMPHIS, August q, 1858. !
We recorded yesterday the arrival Of
the second bale Of cotton Of the new
crop, by Messrs. A. j. Roach & Co.
This bale was sold to-day to Mr.. Brunson
Bayless, of Front street, who shipped it
direct to bis house in England. This
bale was by far the finest one yet re-
ceived, being clean and evidently ginned
with care. It sold for 40c. To-day we
have to record the recsipt of another
new bale per steamer MolIie Able. 1t
comes from the plantation Of Mr.. j. II.
Estell, Of Greenville, Miss, and was con-
signed to Moon & Geoghegsn, who sold
it to ]. G. Hornsby & Co., at 423c. These
gentlemen shipped it to Philadelphia
via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
the agents of the road charging no
freight. 1t will be the first bale of the
new crop to arrive in that city. We
hope to announce an increase of cotton
receipts heneeforth, and with favorable
weather it will be but very short time
until we are once more revealing in the
snowy sta pie. Twill be only week or
two now before the faces Of cotton
buyers, as well as some new ones. will
be found upon our pare. Rusty impIe-
ments for diving into the sptrails of fat
bales will be Furnished up. Stencils will
be put in order, and the grum and DON'T
ask-me-s-question sort of look borne by
those of our cotton men who staid at
home will be giving way to a more
pleasant expression.
Even our bankers who are proverbiallv
polite, and have answered our pertinent
and impertinent questions daily through
the past months of dizziness with much |
good grace, are beginning to feel that
the good time is coming When exchange

SUPPOSED MURDER.
A Reward of $500 offered by
superintendent beaumont.

Many Of our readers will remember the
circumstances of the death Of DR.. J. J.
Hooks, who was found dead in his room In
the Stillman Block, about two months
since. The Coroner's jury returned YER
dict that death was caused by heart dis
ease or apoplexy, in which they were
sustained by several medical gentlemen.
From information received by Col. Beau
mont, Chief of Police, it is thought that
the deceased gentleman was foully dealt
with, most probably poisoned. A detec-
tive has been attending to the business
for several days, but las developed moth
ing WarraHtiDg the arrest of any person.
Col. Beaumont, however, has issued s
circular stating that facts recently de-
veloped leave little doubt that DR.. Hooks
was foully murdered, and offering
five hundred dollars reward for the
detection and conviction of the murderer.
Certain persons who bought property be-
longing to the Doctor at United States
tax sale are suspected Of poisoning him
for the purpose of stopping legal proceed
iDgs that were about 70 cuiminate in the
restoration of his property. AT the time
the body Of the Doctor WAS discovered,
he was lying on the bed, with his eyes
closed and his hands folded, IS if some
person had laid him out, while peculiar
oder filed the room, the only mark OF
violence being bruise just above the
right eye. 1t is thought that the Doctor
was overpoWered in his Office, and while
insansi5le sulphuric acid was admin
istered TO him, causing death. The de-
Of the body at the present
time renders post norton examination
impractics bic, but the police have clue
that nsy yet result il the detection and
OF the parties engaged in the
work.

announced that q beautiful banner would
be presented to the Central Colored DEM
oeratic Club. The meeting was called to
order by the venerable President, Reu-
ben Alexander, when Col. John Dono-
van, who was to make the presentation
speech in behalf Of the Central Demo-
cratic Club of Shelby county, was intro
duced. Col. Donovan addressed himself
particularly to the members of the Col
ored Democratic Club, and pointed out
to them in foreible Language the differ
ence between the cArpet-baggers and
their old masters the former were their
friends only for what they could make
out of them, and whenever they could
not get an Office they would pack their
carret-bags and depart for their North
ern homes, leaving the negro to look af
ter himself. The Southern man, how
ever, was their true friend, for he and
they were born here and expected to live
and die here. He told them to take that
banner, and carry 1t 2loft, and work for
it until victory would perch upon it in
November, by the election of Seymour
and Blair. Col. Donovan's remarks
were well received, and when he IN
'urled the banner and presented it to the
President, the members of the Club stood
up, and their enthusiasm was displayed
by hearty cheers that would have made
any carpet-bagger shake in his boots to
hear. The President called on Col. Foute
to respond in behalf Of the Club, which
that gentleman did in his usual happy
style. He was followed by ex-Attorney
General Wallace, who spoke words of
wisdom that carried conviction to his
hearers and caused them to applaud in
a manner that showed that his effort was
appreciated. Several other gentlemen
also spoke during the evening.
