lot q Co., importers of wines and liquors
who has been in our city for several day
past, leaves to-day for New York. Hi
visits are always welcome to his ole
friends in the city, and we hope soon {,

"A difficulty occurred on "Wednesday
night between two negroes named Coz
and Hutchinson, at the corner OF Madison
and Main streets. Daring the ARRAY Coo
was cut in several places by Hutchinson
the latter using a brick-mason's trowel a:
his mode of ofiense.
The Democratic Executive Committed
of Shelby county viii hold an adjourned
meeting to-day, at three p.m., at theiI
headquarters on Second street. 1t is ex.
pected there will be a full attendance, a,
matters Of great Importance are TO he de
cided upon.
Louis Bagar Ia bogus name, said TO be
a Frenchman by birth and u dancing.
master by profession, has been %swindlinp
the "light-footed" yonng gentlemen o.
is said to have had Introductory letter,
from many ofthe most influential people
in Memphis and West Tennessee.
An attempt was made last night,
about 10 O'Clock, to burn the Titus Build
ing, on Jefferson street. Baggiug had
been placed on a coal-box under the stair
way, on the second floor, and fired. A
gentleman who lodges in the building
discovered the flames, and, after great
exertions, extinguished them.
We like to see IN efficient officer Ofthe
peace, but because a man wears brass
buttons and q policeman's pistol and
badge, he has no right 10 become over
ofieious. We saw an instance of the kind
last night, and for the benefit Of a Ser
geant of the Upper District, we will eau
ton him against a fault which has not
been observed by us alone, nor in this
single instance only.
We are advised by gentlemen residing
in that direction n beyond, that the
Poplar street road is in an almost iiupassa-
BILE condition, especially that part of il
recently filed, adjoining boundary ave
dence OF Major Selden. We hope the
Street Commissioner will give this his
immediate attention, and thereby oblige
a great many Taxpayers.
The Nashville Banner of the 18th
says: understand that Judge HOus-
ton, attorney for the Louisville and Nash
willie Railroad, is in the city, for the pur-
pose of leasing the Memphis and Clarks-
vile Railroad. They desire to take 10 OF
tue SANS TERMS inhJ THEY now run the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad. They will put
the road in good repair, run il as ono
mically as possible and pay over TO the
State all the earnings of the o a above
the current expenses"
Lots of game in town now. J.. ID. Ed
wards & Co. had a splendid show yester-
day, as did also Victor ID. Fuchs. We
never saw a greater variety OF fine game
than was displayed at bOth emporiums.
The people of Memphis owe a debt OF
gratitude to these houses, for, in spite OF
chemical legislation, high rents, etc, these
two houses have stood the brunt of the
storm, and now offer our people the very
finest Of everything at rates that nobody
can grumble at.
Yesterday afternoon a white woman,
decently but poorly clad, waikedPup to a
party of young men standing on the
corner of Main and Jefferson streets, and
asked one of the crowd if he had seen her
child-a little bOy-which she had lost.
Thinking to have some fan" with the
poor, ignorant, half broken-hearted wo-
man, this party, instead of giving the
poor creature a direct answer. sent her
from one place to another to find her child.
No gentleman would be guilty of so low
and dirty a trick, and IL we had the names
of the parties we would give them.
Again we would call attention t. the
sale OF the property on Shelby street, ad-
vertised by Mr.. Thomas Cooke, which
takes liace on the grounds at II O'Clock
on Monday, 22d instant. These four lots
front on the site of the future Union De
pot aud the new wharf which will proba-
bly, be built by the ST. Louis Packet Com
pany. The prospect is that these lots will
20 at Il low price, but thu the Investment
will be trebled i. less Than three years.
The title is perfect, and tic sale Will be
positive, ii there are any bidders on the
ground.
"A paragraph going the rounds of the
press says: 1t Is stated that Jefferson
Davis does not intend to settle in Ameri-
ca, but that he merely proceeded To Mis-
sissippi to settle up his private affairs,
and will soon Join his family in London"
Mr.. Davis is here in Memphis on business
of which few know anything; bat it is
surmised as not an impossibility that be
may take up his residence with us; at all
events, it is not unlikely he will, AS there
is no necessity for his exiling himself
from his country, his neiShbnrs and his
friends.
On Wednesday last GOV. Senter issued
a " proclamation a" commanding Commits
siOnsrs of Registration and others to open
and hold an election on the third Saturday
in December, 1868, "a the several places
of holding ELECTIONS in yodr respective
counties, for the purpose af voting for or
hEdtlat d C0nNEftlbA 70 hiitllQ, rev lSt vi
form and make a new Constitution for the
State, and for the election of one delegate
from each county and representative dis
trict in said State entitled TO a emb Of
the House of Representatives, by the pro-
visions of the act of the 10Th of February,
1852; and you shall make due returns of
said election to the Secretary of state"
The Confederate Relief Association
held their regular semi-monthly meeting
on Thursday night. Little Of consequence
was dons-most ofthe members not know
ing that a meeting would hs hell. The
Relief Committee reported disbursements
to proper applicants since last meeting, of
seYenUy-five dollars. A resolution, intro
dneed by Capt. L0udon at soIne previous
meeting, providing tina only n meeting
should be held each month, was adopted,
and takes effect at once. A resolution
was adopted which provided that the Re-
lief Committee may give assistance to
applicants on the endorsement of citizens
not members Of The Association, but
known 70 the committee.
Col. Mosby, the gallant Virginia cav
airy officer, in an interview with a Phila-
delphia reporter, upon being asked "what
is your individual opinion Of Jett. DaYis?"
answered, 81 think history will record
him as one OF the greatest men of the
time. .EveFy lost cause, you know, must
have a scape-gnat, aud Mr.. Davis has been
chosen as such. He must take all the
blame without any ofth credit. | do not
know n man in the Confederate States
that could have conducted the war with
the success that he did," We think this
answer from a brave soldier, fairly offsets
the attacks of Pollard, who stands singu-
lar and alone in his conduct towards our
ex-President.
In the Nashville BaRHer Of the 18th
inst. under the head Will He2n we find
the following: "Te Ne EditoF Of Me Bg9-
aer. In your issue Of sunday last Il APP
pears an item TO the effect that the Con-
ference to which Rev. DIR. Pearne, of Mem
phis, belongs, at It's late session requested
him to resign his position In the 9afslistrg.
This is an error. The Conference passed
q resolution that it Is not consistent for
ministers of the Gospel 20 be actively en-
gagged in partisan politics or to hold polit-
ical Office, and requesting him to resign
his position on the police force of Mem
phis as soon as practicable. H." It's
rather singular that our correspondent
neglects to mention whether or not DIR.
Pearne inteRds TO comply with the request
of the Conference. VIII the reverend OIL
eisl resign, or does he still banker after
the hesh-pots of Memphis9 That's the
question.
The following was received at this
