We W~Ouldsuggest in the interest of
the commercial and planting commu-
nifty that the COMPRISING and ware
housing OfcOttOn should be left to pFf-
vate enterprise, and should not be in
terfered with by railroad companies
or railroad officials. To avoid the ap-
pearanee or semblauee Of monopoly
or Of undue advantage this Is the
course that railroad companies should
pursue.
About g O'Clock on Wednesday
evening officer Holman Of the second
district found an unknown white man
lying in a pool Of blood on the side
walk on the south side, of .GayOsO, q
few yards east of Main, in an uneOn-
scious condition, and terribly bruised
and cue aP about the head and face.
| Being off duty officer Holman trans

still unconscious. The police inform
us that this is the third man who has
been found IN tbis condition within a
few feet Of the locality mentioned.
The new ten dollar counterfeit
greenbaeks are, il is said, executed In
such good imitation of the genuine
ones that professional experts can
hardly detect the difference. We
wonder how the public car be expect
ed to do so, or how it is altogether lust
70 make q bona fde acceptOr in such a
case the loser. Now that the en-
craving and signatures have been 50
well Initiated, IL remains with the
Government to manufacture a special
paper for this purpose, the possession
Of which by outside parties should be
made a felony. These OUnterfeits are
not only a loss to the Treasury, but a
constant source Of annoyance and dis
trust to a man in business. Let the
Treasury Department look to 1t and
devise some remedy.

The Hon. John 7. SWayne, acting
Mayor and President of the Council Of
Memphis, Tenn, was elected at the
regular meeting Of the Board, August
I'd, PresidentIOf the Company, in place
OF ID. DeHayen, resigned, which took
place az the regular meeting of the
Board, August I'd. The fact that the
Company has determined to receive
subscriptions in land to the capital

substantial basis, and in the increased
value of its lands the Company will

from one of III prominent citizens

years for school purposes. The people

brickbats into the yards andshouses,

In their petition TO the County Com
missiOners, the neighbOrs 90 not want
this property devoted to school pur,
poses. They beg the County Com
missiOners not to sell il to the School
Commissioners. As taxpayers, they

Commissioners can only pay in bonds,
their proceeds. This increases the
debt Of the city. Large improve
ments viii be needed, and they must
be palq for in the same way. Surely
the city Is now sufficiently In debt.
This Is not the time for the invest
ment. Again, property bought by a
county for a Courthouse, can only be
sold n a prescribed mode. The Jus

power. They must appoint Commits
