VAGRANoY.-In nearly ell kinds of
labor negroes are preferred to white men
in this city because they work cheaper,
and therefore it is useless for white Ia
borers to come here with "great expecta.
tons" Unless they have money in their
pockets or intend travelling into the
country to work on farms, they had bet
ter stay away, as this city is oyerstocked
with loafers. Bill Saunders and John
Brady were arrested last night by officer
Holleran for "having nothing to do"
Scarcely day passes but the police ar.
rest Migrants by the dozen, and increase
the burden on the shoulders of tax-psy-
ers. While fields around us remain un-
titled it is great evil to be compelled to
support able. bodied men in idleness.

A BOLD THIEF.-Night before last
Messrs. Griffin & Vaudeville, 2O7 Main
street, found their till had been tapped,
and determined to watch and discover
the thief. While on the lookout last eve
ming, a negro named Henry Robinson
darted into the store, seized shoulder
of bacon, and ran out with it. Mr.. John
V. Gibson, connected with the establish.
lishment, followed the darby, and caught
him in the alley between Adams and
Washington streets. Mr.. Gibson also
secured the shoulder of meat, which the
darby in his aight dropped in the alley.
Messrs. Griffin & Vaudeville thus saved
their bacon, to the great annoyance of
Robinson, who tried to save his bacon"
before the Recorder this morning, but,
fortunately for the community, failed.

BENEFIT OF MISS HELEN DEVERE.-
Tonight Miss Helen DeVere takes a
benefit at the Varieties. She has long
been a favorite with the frequenters of
that establishment, and has won her way
to popular favor by her superior ability
as vocalist. That she will have full
house isbeyond a doubt, for it is reason
able to suppose that those whom she has
pleased so often will not forget to please
her by their presence on this occasion.
That nothing should be lacking to make
the entertainment one worthy of patron
age, Manager Broom has gotten up
new programme of gems, and instructed
the performers to shine as brilliantly as
stars in their respective roles. By all
means give Miss DeVere bumper.

CoTToN TuIEr.-There are not less
than two hundred cotton thieves in Mem
phis. They are principally young dar-
kies, male and female, who rove about
the bluff and sheds 6lching cotton by the
handful from bales and stuffing it into
sacks or bags they usually carry on their
shoulders. A colored fellow named
Lewis Allen yesterday slipped into the
cotton shed of Mr.. E. B. Lamb, on Madi-
son street, and carried away three sacks
of the staple. he was captured by off,
Ger McElroy, aud this morning commit
ted by Squire Millard. Afterward a
farmer prevailed on the magistrate 10
change his decision by paying Mr. Lamb
for his cotton and the court the costs of
the case. The farmer then walked off
with the negro, who promised to work
for him twelve months on his plantation.

another and better vocation We cannot consent to
enter the for the sake of bandying words, any
further than own sense Of duty prompts. We have
turned aside for moment from usual course, be-
cause of the interest feel in Texas and in response
to inquiries from friends and subscribers in that State
Having given our opinions and our reasons for them
retire from the discussion of Texas affairs rather
from the political questions involved in her present
condi.ion. Texas is fortunate. It is an empire of
itself 1t has YOUTH yigor and future glowing with
hope. 1t is not in the power Of political men
political agencies permanently to impede
rest her onward march. The day will come when, II
not divided she will be the most popuous, she is
the largest, State in the Union, and when her infu-
ence and her power will be felt from ocean to ocean
We sympathse in her present distresses, but recog-
Mise them only temporary evils if she will only take
care not to surrender at discretion to the demands of
blatant Radicalism-if she will only consult her own
true and honorable interests by selecting her own
tried and honest citizens to pass her through her pres
ent troubles A few more years. interlned with rail
roads she will be- with teeming and industrious
population settled upon her fertile lands, she and
will smile over the petty ambitions of the ephemeral
politicians who sit in exalted places but whose
recreant bones will then stink
