GENERAL JOHN C. BRECK1NRIDGE.-A
letter from General Breckenridge was re-
ceived by gentleman of Georgetown last
week. Whilst General Breckenridge is per-
haps as anxious to return to Kentucky as
his friends are to welcome him, his engage
ments are such that it is impossible for him
to name the exact time of his return. His
host of admirers must await his coming
with all the patience they can command

a hearty welcome in his own State. he
is the very genius of wit, song and bur.

he is gentleman who pays bis bills and

THE ARKANSAS PACKET
QUESTION.
A Fair and Important Proposition
TO she Mercha ants OF Our City.

A meeting Of leading merchants and
business mea was held at the Chamber
Of Commerce yesterday, to consider a
proposition made by the President of
the Arkansas Packet Company to the
merchants of Memphis, which, If ac-
cepted, would place the packet line in
the control of the merchants. The con-
ditions are that the merchants shall in
crease the present stock OF the Company
from 1927, 900 to 100000 This being
done, new directory would be elected,
and the Company would turn over to
them steamboats,, barges and other
property, amounting in value to $500, O00,
to be appraised by disinterested persons.
Resolutions we're adopted recon-
mending the merchants and citizens Of
Memphis to subscribe the required
amount of stock, and thereby obtain con-
troll of the line. The following commit.
tee was appointed to solicit stock: North
of Madison street-B. Lowenstein, Mr..
Hanauer, of Sohool6eld & Hanauer, and
A. L. Denison, of Orgill Bros. & Co.
For the city south of Madison street.
Capt. Anderson, of T. II. Allen & Co.,
Mr.. Petit and Major A. J. Murphy.
We hear tina! the stock will be speedily
subscribed. This is of more Importance
to the trade of Memphis than may be
generally understood. The Companies
running packet lines from here to .Arkan-
sas are weak, and they have to contend
with lines sustained, whether paying or
not, by the capital of mercantile combi-
nations in 81. Louis, Louisville, Cincin-
natl and New Orleans. If we do not
secure this line some other city may step
in aud buy it out, and thus cut off what
trade we already have with the rich coun-
ties of Arkansas. By taking $4,000
stock in this line, our merchants make it
permanent and gain control at the same
time, and then they can snap their fin-
gers at all outside combinations made to
ipjure their important trade in Arkansas.

Death of Judge Hunter.

Judge Wm. M. Hunter, formerly Judge
of the Criminal Court, died at his resi-
dence in the city this morning at Eve
o'clock, after protracted illness, and in
consequence the courts all adjourned,
according to custom. We have heen
taught to say no i'll OF the dead, if we
could say nothing good. OF Judge Hun
ter some good might be, said, but the
balance is largely on the other side.
He came into position and power here
through the fundamentally of the Loyal
Leagues, and for long time his name
was terror to the people. In his opin-
ions delivered on the bench he was in
fuenced largely by his political opinions.
He was, in fact, partisan, political
judge. Bat this can be said in his favor:
be was believed to be above bribery. He
died poor, and members Of the Bar will
have to defrsy the funeral expenses. It
is said that be was kind husband and
father. Ia politics he was INSCRIPTIONS,
shrewd and bold. He was a man of IN.
questioned courage and decision. At
the last election he ran for Chancellor
aud was defeated, but he contended
for the position, nevertheless, and the
case was pending up to the time
Of his death. When he vent ept of
Office, and even sooner he ceased to be
an object of dread or local celebrity, and
many whom he once prosecuted had
learned to LOOK on him with pity and at
the time of his death he had, perhaps,
very few enemies.

to examine the great new-s.yle chatelaine
chignons, and on every lady's head we
expected to SEE one, batwsre greatly dis
appointed TO see SO many ladies without
this perfect triumph of art To those so
far behind fashion, we recommend them
to go to the great ssiF establishment Of
+. Lavigne, 1854 Main street, where you
can find anything imaginable to be worn
on the head. We intend to go again to
the theater, and see if our lady readers
have supplied themselves with this i'm
portant ornament. rs
