gan. He was one Of the " trooly loil"
kind, aud was impatiently awaiting an
opportunity to 20 to Congress or the
United States Senate. He is now in q
more respectable place than either; but
respectability was not his object.
Only five cases appeared on docket az
the southern district police court last
evening. John Dougheriy was fined FIVE
dollars for shooting within the corpora
ton. A woman charged with being
drunk was discharged. Owen Billy was
fined fifteen dollars for drunk and nnis-
ance. Henry and Margaret Mullins we're
held under warrant for assault.
The Twenty-ffth United States Infan-
try, portion of which has long been
stationed ia Memphis, is now under
marching orders for Atlanta. II is q
fine regiment, and we cannot hope for q
better one to take its place. General
Gordon Granger, the Colonel command
ing, has been placed on the retired list
by reason of the consolidation of his
regiment with the Eighteenth Regulars.
This is characteristic ofthe new admins
traitor. General Granger is understood
to be Of conservative proclivities there

On Sunday last Captain s. S. Garrett,
accompanied by Mr.. +. NJ. Cash, left the
city to arrest Captain e G. Patterson on

the affidavit of Col. Dickens that Patter-
son hired two men to do the killing the
warrant was issued. The arrest was
made at the residence of Mr. Wade Boil
ton. Patterson made no resistance, and
Capt Garrett passed the night with him
at Mr.. Bottoms. Yesterday Patterson

examination. His bondsmen are Messrs

From the New Orleans Bee.l
Considerable commotion was occa-
stoned in com mercial circles yesterday
by the appearance Of buyer hailing
from Decatur, Ala, who gave his name
as w. h. Wells. Mr.. Wells bought
largely and rapidly at the house of w.
II. Stokes. He wanted iron and nails,
and got introduced at the agency Of the
rolling mill. He wanted groceries, and
purchased Of F. II. Ksen & Bro, as also
OF GlszebrOok & Co. and Terry, Wheat
q Chesney. At Hsckstt & Doresi be
purchased liquors. He also made q bill
at Overall q Morlan's establishment
He gave pretty large order at Gardner
& Co.'S for groceries, but here suspicious
were aroused and the goods were not put
up, and these suspicious were commu1i-
Gated to others. The purchases amount
ed to several thousand dollars But off,
GERS ElnOw and Hines, of the Metropcli-
tan Police, at length put a stop to his
operations, and took Mr.. Wells Ia charge
st the corner Of Ninth and Main streets,
and found him accommodations at the
jail upon the charge OF obtaining goods
under false pretences. He was in pos
session of several pieces Of paper repre-
sentiDg ample funds. Ole cheek for
$3l 600 was signed by Jas. 81. Todd, and
several for smaller amounts were found
in his possession. His available means
were two nickels. The dealer is thought
to have been quite recently an inmate of
some penitentisry, and the probabilities
now are that he will be returned to q
similar Institution.

FRANK p. BLAIR, Jr.
He Casts his Lot with the south.

The Hancock Club, says the New Or
/ leans Bee OF the 2S "a uit., through thsir
| President, Capt. Pinckney Smith, invited
Gen. Blair to psrtske ST their hospitsli-
| ties last night. The General accepted
! the invitation and was received with
! great cOrdiaiity. A full turnout Of the
mem bers testified to the esteem in which
their distinguished guest was held. A
sumptuCUs supper in honor OF the Occa-
sion was laid in the rooms OF the club,
corner CarOndslst and Gravier streets.
Full justice having been done thereto,
the President, in few words, gracefully
expressed the pleasure Of the Club in
meeting Gen. Blair, to which that gen.
tlemsn replied with much good taste aud
feeling. He said in substance that he
had taken his plzce in the ranks OF the
army Of the United States in good faith,
for the purpose OF preserving the Union
Of the States on the basis of the COnsti-
tuition, and that the war ended by the
surrender of the Southern States Withoat
their being required to consent to any
dishOnOrsble conditions. Subsequently
new oppressive conditions had been iu5-
posed on the South by the dominant fac
I lion 10 Congress, to which he had not
given his assent. Those conditions were
not such ss the North should exact nor
the South agree to. He had therefore
cast his lot with the South, preferring TO
share her fate and participate in the dis
franchising acts ard other disabilities to
which Congress had seen ft to subject
her. Gen. Harry 4. Hays responded on
the part OF the Club, eomPlimenting
Gen. Blair as an honorable foe. An
hour or two Was passed most agreeably

HENNINGsEN.
Why he Failed an the COnEed-
eraCy.

Why he Failed an the COnfed-
eraCy.
Gen. Henningsen is an old soldier oi
for, Une. He was born in England OF
Swedish paTentage, and when u youth
volunteered IN the civil war In Spain,
where he rose 10 the rank OF Lieuten-
ant-COlODel. He also served under
Kossuth Ia Hungary and with the
Russian army in the Crimsa.
At the beginning Of the late war he
entered the Confederate army. Here
he did not for some reason rise to thai
eminence which his friends expected
him TO attain. We never exactly UNDER
stood the reason, but we have been en-
lightened by the Charleston NesOs, of
March 23d, which says OF him:
fsGen. HenniDgsen was 10 favorite OF
the Confederate Government. He ad-
vised that 600 900 rides, SOO,0 blankets,
400 pieces OF field artillery, and 5 600,
600 rounds OF small arm ammunition
should be bought st once and paid for by
the hypothecation Of cotton. Tnese
ideas were com municated TO Gen.
TOOmbs, and By him to President Davis,
whO said that HenDingsen was fool.
When this tale was told TO HeDniDgssn,
he retorted that Davis was Rn ass, which,
coming to the esrs OF the President, cut
of all hope Of promotion, and ended
bis career In the Confederate army"
