This sum of $l,3l5,434 70 includes
the amount received from the Bank of
Tennessee in specie. which, by order Of
the Legislature, was converted into
United States Five-thirties, which sub
sequently passed into the hands Of the
Tennessee National Bank in this city,
amounting, in Soven-thirties, to over
100000. The Committee do not see
the propriety Of issuing ordinary coupon
bonds for the School Fund or any part
thereof, for the reason, as they say,
"that the same might be stolen, misap-
propriated or otherwise disposed Of" but
they have instructed Mr.. Linsley, Chair
man of the Committee on Education, to
recommend that the Governor issue
one bond, to be lodged with the Control
Ter, acknowledging the Indebtedness of
the State to the School Fund to be
$l,3l5, 434 70, with interest payable
semi-annually, and that said bond on its

MISS LEO HUDsoN's BENEFIT As this
is what our ladies term a fashionable
night" at the New Memphis, we opine
there will be congregation of the pref
test faces in Christendom in the dress
circle, and that many bright glance
will be darted from laughing eyes toward
friends and acquaintance scattered here
and there like choice blossoms in bou-
quet. Miss Hudson deserves the thanks
Of our plsy-goers generally for her lively
and novel entertainments, and we think
they will give her such bumper tonight
as she never saw the equal of
either for numbers, beauty or gran
deur. The very lively play of the
Red Crook, founded upon incl
dents connected with the Lost
Cause" and written for Miss Hudson by
a Tennessean, will be repeated after
which that mirthful little comedy, the
Young WIDOW, will be enacted; Miss
Hudson appearing as "Orelia," McWade
as "Splash," Malmburg as "Mander-
ville," and Mrs. Cline as " Lucy" in
which character she will sing several of
her sweet songs. On Saturday Miss
Hudson has consented to appear, with
her bonnie Black Bess, in the great spec
tacular drama of the The French in
Algiers, specially for the little folks at
the matinee. o, what crowd of happy
cherubs will be there to be sure. Who.
ever wants to see heavenly sight
should be present.

PROPERTY HOLDERS MEETING The
meeting of property-holders at the Cham
Der of Commerce last evening was very
poorly attended, and even those who
were present transacted very little bust
ness. There were long talks and short
talks and considerable wrangling. Mr..
VIM r. Moore said it was understood
that some parties we're trying to sell
costly old buildings to the county for a
courthouse-buildings costly to buy and
costly to change and keep. He read a
document written by one Of the County
Com missioners and presented at the last
meeting of the Board, setting forth the
bad policy aud fruits of buying any old
buildings, but 1t did not even meet a
second. Such was the indifference mani
tested on the subject. The only resolu-
ton agreed to was the following, offered
by General Chalmers:
We, the citizens of Memphis, hereby
organize ourselves into q society, to be
called the Citizens Union, to protect
ourselves against illegal and improvidept
taxation, and that committee of five be
appointed by the chair TO draw up con-
stitution and bylaws and report the same
at the next meeting.
The following gentlemen were APP
pointed the committee: General Chal-
mers, Judge L. v. Dixon. VIM. R. Moore,
Esq, Colonel R. c. Brinkley and Colonel
VIM. L, Vance. The meeting then ad-
iourned till this evening.

BLUFF CRY STocK YARD.-We visited
this extensive establishment yesterday,
aud was astonished to see the stock bust
ness in Memphis so extensive and inn
portant Stock raisers throughout the
South and West will be pleased to learn
that Major VIM. NJ. Brooks has perma-
nently settled in our city, and established
this commodious and magnificent stock
yard for the keeping and sale of every
description of stock, whether horses,
mules, beef cattle, hogs or sheep, and
his arrangements are such as enable him
to do better part by his patrons than
any similar concern in the South. His
correspondents are numerous in all the
cotton growing States, aud he has un-
usual facilities to make sales of every de-
scription of stock consigned to him to
sell. His establishment is worthy of a
visit, and being situated on the corner Of
Linden and Tennessee streets, is near
the business portion Of, the city. The
enterprising, energetic and thorough
going business habits of Major Brooks
are too we'll known to need commenda-
ton, and it may be truly said of him that
he is "the right man in the right place"
as mutual friend to buyer and seller.
