Memphis have been greatly annoyed BY
the drumming and firing of crowd of
lazy, idle, vagraut negroes, who are in
the service of some of the Radical fac
tons. Their object seems to be TO
gather a crowd, which is doubtless
marched off and addressed by some of
the hsranguers between midnight and
day. Many people are kept awake at
night for hours by the racket of these
mobs. They are tired of this sort of
thing, and would be grateful to the Chief
of Police to abaie the hateful nuisance.
Mr.. W. Fl. Whitsett, of the Empire
Saloon, which was burned on Jefferson
street few nights since, called on us to-

intention, and we cheerfnlly give him the
benefit Of hearing. The Empire, he
thinks, was kept as well as any night
eating-bouse could be, and as to not pay
ing bis rent for FIVE months, the money
had been deposited for the purpose, but
was withheld on account Of some misun-
Outstanding between him and the owner
Of the property.
