TIE WHARFBoAT QUEsTIoY.-At q
meeting of South Memphians, last
evening, at the Office of Gen. Ruffin,
among other proceedings, the following
resolution was adopted
Resolued, That committee of three
be appointed by the chair to confer with
the owners Of the wharfboats now lying
at the landing in Memphis, and the
property holders in South Memphis, for
the purpose of ascertaining what ar
rangement can be made for the accom-
mediation of said wharfboats at or near
Beal street, at their earliest convenience.
Gen. Rufin, M. L. Meacham and W.
R. Hunt, Esqs., were appointed COM
mittee to carry out the suggestion of the
resolution, and thereupon the meeting
adjourned to such time ss the COM
mittee may be prepared to report.
There seems to be general disposition
on the part of the property holders in the
southern part of the city to provide ac-
com modation for the wharfboats below
the foot of Beal street, and, in the event
Of the boats being driven from their
present mornings, they will, doubtless,
drop down to such a landing as may be
provided for them.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
The Freaks Of n Man At
tackled with Mania POtu.
He makes n Deliberate Mt
tempt 10 blow his
Brains Out.

John King, an engineer In Talley's
saw mill, north of town, made an attempt
to end bis life by shooting himself
through the head, in Chelsea last evening.
The facts Of the case as near as we
have been enabled 10 ascertain them, are
about as follows: King who is repre-
scented as having been very dissipated up
to about year ago, at that time united
himself with the Sons Of Temperance, and
was regarded by all who had known him
in his wild days, as a reformed man. The
pledge he had taken on joining the tenn
porance order had been kept most re-
ligiously by him up TO about one
week ago, when, leaving the mill
at which he was employed as engineer,
he came into town, and fell into his old
habits again. He became intoxicated
an hour after he reached the city, and
had not known sober moment
up to the time Of his attempted
self-destruction yesterday, having spent
all the money he had brought with him,
and not knowing where to get means to
pay for his next drink. In this state,
about four o'clock last evening, he ap'
preached a countryman, in the vicinity
of the stockysrd in Chelsea, and asked
Of him, to use his own language, if he
would not treat him before he died" The
stranger thus accosted supposing King
to be drunk, and regarding the treat "
as the best way of getting rid of him,
repaired with him to Thomas saloon,
nearby, where liquor was ordered for two
and drank.
King then thanking the stranger for his
kindness and bidding him good-by, leav-
ing the latter at the counter settling for
the drinks, passed out of the saloon /;
and Immediately on reaching the
street drew derringer from his pocket,
and placing it at his head, fred. The
ball, instead of penetrating the skull,
fortunately glanced, and thus failed Of
its desired result, though infcting a
most painful-if not fatal = wound.
The stranger, who was still in the saloon,
rushed out, and on seeing King wounded
and insensible in the street, had him
removed to an adjacent building, where
his wound was dressed by DR.. Bateman
as soon as that gentleman could be called
in. King is married man and about
thirty years of age. His attempt to take
his life can be attributed to no other
cause than that of over. drinking
