ReIannnI.

We find the following notice in the
Cairo Bulletin, concerning our genial
friend Msjor ia Bsrbiere, who was SO
long connected with the press. 1t is a
curious fact, and significant Of our com.
mercial Importance, If nothing else, that
the papers of half dozen neighboriDa
cities are taking lively interest in the
local elections of Shelby coupty, and
seem to be we'll posted in regard to
many Of the aspirants for public posi-
tions. But here is the personals"
We see by the Memphis papers that
our friend Major Joseph Bsrbiere has
announced himself as candidate tor
G ERIK OF the Second Circuit Court. We
enjoyed his acquaintance long before the
war, and have had the pleasure Of re-
newing il since the I" bottom " fell out Of
that little unpleasant affair. which found
the warmest personal friends espousing
opposite sides The Major is gentle
man Of extensive and varied acquire
ments of broad, comprehensive mind
and liberal views; polished in manners;
moral 10 habits; genial in disposition !;
with big heart that warns toward hu-
mainly as whole, but one with whom
Fortune has ever played coquettish
part. Although comparatively young
in years, few men have accomplished
more than he in making the centers of
Europe and America acquainted with
the commercial importance of Memphis
and the resources of the great country
tributary to it. Oar fret impressions of
him were gained from his very able and
elaborate letters in favor of direc. trade
between the ports of the Mississippi river
and Eur Jpe-and idea which St Louis is
attempting to carry out to day. That
the project failed, as far as Memphis and
her immediate interests we're involved,
was through no fault of his. Indeed, in
this, as it is in most instances of the
pioneers of great enterprises, be reaped
no pecuniary profit for himself. But the
day is not distant when the work Of him
self aud his co.laborers will begin to
bear IT'D fruit. The commercial tyr.Sny
to which the people of this great Valley
are subjected must soon cease, and prac-
teal effect be given to the IDEAS embed
led in the Direct Trade Movement. And
to him, every one will attest who has
ever met the Msjor outside of that city,
Memphis is indebted for no inconsider.
able share Of the prominence which she
occupies among the commercial cities of
the country. Her praises, wherever he
went, were always upon his lips; and as
this fact, worthy of himself and bent & :
cial to his city, could not be generally
known there, it is but justice that it be
recorded in his favor. The Shelby
county sovereigns, in their electoral ca
pacity, should see to it that they will not,
like the Israelites and Athenisns Of old,
be found Strengthening the creators of
their own fair fame and glory.

Memphis Theater.

The Buckley Serenaders had large
and fashionable house last evening,
for Thursday night, and presented
a capital BILL. The comic singing
and the dancing was done in in
imitable style aud provoked the frequent
and hearty applause of the house. The
most remarkable feature Of the evening
was Mr.. Buckley's "sct of all acts" in
which he performed on twelve different
musical instruments, besides singing and
dancing. 1t was all delightful, except
the Chinese fiddle, which was worse than
a cry baby. The double song and dance
of Messrs. Hogan aud Hughes, en-
bracing the song of the period, Shoe
Fly-Don't Bodder Me-" was heartily
eucored. The clog-dancing was highly
applauded, especially in the loft. The
performance concluded with Lucretia
Borqia. We never had much opinion OF
Mrs. Borgia, aud what little We didn't
have became still less last night; as a
pattern for the rising generation she
could hardly be called a success. On
the stage she is not much better. But
the singing incidental TO the piece was
really excellent, and the company dis
played their talent to good advantage.
Tonight fine new bill will be played,
and as this is the fashionable night of
the week very full house may be ex-
pected.

THE OTHER SIDE.
unhappy "sffiystion" OF the Man
Who Was Elected.

Holding Office hath Tia trials as we'll as
not holding office. This should be q
consolation to those who have been or are
expecting to be defeated. A successful
candidate at the lato.election before the
General Council, remained at his Office
during the election. The news Of his
success had barely been announced to
him by friend who came in hot haste,
when in bolted another man, rather out
of breath, to apply for subordinate
position. The lucky candidate was too
happy to give Eat denial, SO be made
some excuse and put off the matter. In
the next ten minutes four or five others
arrived on the same business, and they
received similar consideration. An hour
later the stream was pouring in thick I;
the applicants came in two ranks, and
began to push each other and have fist
| fights about the door, Affairs were APP
preaching crisis, and the happy man at
the desk began to feel uneasy. Holding
Office is surely not so pleasant after al, "
he muttered to himself. Half an hour
later the column had sweled to four or
six deep, besides straggers who came
from all directions and refused to
fall into ranks. TIE police blowed
their whistles, and kept at o respectful
distance. The unfortunate man within
bolted the doors. and hung out plscard
inscribed "Small-pox-Bad Case" This
had no perceptible effect. The crowd
watched every window and hole, and
sent IF for picks and shovels to dig him
out. In the meanwhile broken pane
was discovered, and the mob began to
poke petitions through it. The idea took
at once, and, strange as it may seem,
every man outside had strong recon-
mendation signed by thousand or two
of the leading citiz ems of Tennessee aud
adjacent States, all Of these documents
being much to the point, and written
pretty much in the same style. Perhaps
there is character broker in town some
where who gets up such things. An in
credible number of petitions, some Of
them as long as hook and ladder wagon,
went through that pane in the course Of
an hour. The unlucky and pitiable office
holder began to beg for mercy, but the
crowd, finding him still alive, renewed
their clamor. What his fate would have
been before day, if sudden and unex
pected relief had not come, we dare moi
even conjecture About midnight word
came that another man in a remote part
of the city had position to dispose of,
and that he could not go to sleep unit
some one agreed to accept it. The crowd
broke, and the besieged prisoner escaped

MEMPHIS AND SELMA RAIL
ROAD.
The Fate of Holly Springs as city
Soon 40 be Decided by Mar
shall County.

That Gen. Forrest will complete the
Memphis and Selma railroad, in the
next two or three years, is as certain as
anything can be, except death and mar
riage, or births and taxes. But it is moi
fixed fact that the road will come
through Holly Springs. A few old gen
tlemen out in that city, or young gentle
men with old ideas, think that a direct
railroad connection would do them Sc
rious injury. They prefer the Grand
Junction no ute, perhaps on account Of
the excellent hotel accommodations
they enjoy at that place when they miss
connection in the night, and have tc
stay over a few days.
Twenty or thirty years ago, when old
fogyism claimed to be wisdom, the same
men, or their fathers or kindred, lived in
Memphis. and opposed the Memphis and
Charleston aud all other railroads lead
ing to the interior. They said that the
trade brought in by wagons would be
destroyed; sure enough it was, but Men,
phis reaped the benefit and became q
city. They said the interior towns like
Pocshontas, jackson and Holly Springs
would become our rivals, and Memphis
would sink back to mere shipping
point As prophets these men were not
success. They lived to see the Charles
ton railroad built, and towns spring up
ell along the line; but still Memphis
grew and hourished, and the population
was trebled ia few years. So it would
be if Holly Springs had this railroad.
The place would be in direct eommuni.
cation with the markets of our growing
city, and would have an outlet to the
grand commercial highway of the West,
the Mississippi river. Memphis did not
20 to Holly Springs when a rail couuec-
ton was made, neither will Holly Springs
come to Memphis when a direct line is
built.
On the contrary, Holly Springs will
take a new start, have daily papers,
Nicolsou pavements, street railroads,
manufactures, and assume the msgai-
tude and manners of charming inlaHd
city, With twenty FIVE or thirty thousand
inhabitants ia less than fifteen years.
Ofcour we expect Memphis to grow in
proportion, and to number at least one
hundred and fifty thousand souls. In
view of the railroads and trade to be con-
centrated here this is no idle dream, but
a reasonable prediction, based on the
growth Of the country and the history Of
other cities.
But if the anti-railroad men, who don't
believe the world turns round, or that
the sun is any larger and further of than
/, appears to the naked eye, prove to be

Trade.

trade.
The elegant steamer R. P. Walt, lately
built for the White River Packet Com
pany, arrived yesterday afternoon from
Cincinnati, where she was bnilt. Mejor
John d. Adams invited large number
Of friends down to see the boat. They
went. A number Of ladies we're present
on tho occasion, which began before sun
down and was continued until late
hour. The beau iful boat was crowded
with ladies' and gentlemen, and cham
payne was thrown around by the basket
ful. Nearly all the leading business
houses of the city seemed to be repre-
scented, and many hearty toast went
round the board. The boat brought down
over three hundred tons Of freight for
Jacksonport and other points on White
river. The comely vessel is 202 by 343
feet, with 81 feet depth Of hold. She has
four boilers, % feet long by SO
inches; wheel, 28 feet IN diameter.
She has forty-three staterooms, ten Of
them superbly furnished for ladies and
families. In the cabin there is grand
piano presented by Mr.. r. P. Walt, for
whom the vessel was named. The gene.
rsl cabin, sleeping, kitchen and Office ar
engagements are as convenient and per-
feet as could well be imagined. Every
thing is unique, and some features are
really elegant, but comfort and safety
have been consulted rather than appear
snles. But in any respect the R ?.
Walt will bear comparison with any boat
that we have seen on the Mississippi
river. Capt. AID. Storm, q well-known
and favorite steam boatmsu, is the mas
ter, aud Messrs. Chas. Smitber and
Ernest Walworth are in the Office. The
boat will be favorite with all who have
freight for White river or desire to travel
On the top of the pilot house, is
mounted gilded bale of cotton, or its
representative, which plainly demon
strates that the R. P. Walt is in the cot
| ton trade, and means TO remain there.
She was built expressly for the Memphis
and Arkansas Packet Company, of which
that popular gentleman and experienced
officer, Major John d. Adams, is Presi-
dent.
Among the old steamboatmen present
we observed Captain Charley Church,
Captain Elem. Calvert, Captain
John K. Moody. James Speed, Esq,
Captain Sam. Shock, Captain Dave
Hukill, etc., and quite number of mer
chants, and among others r P. Walt,
Thomas 81. Allen. Mart Walt, General
Ruffiu, W. Il. Passmore, etc. A number
of ladies, with their gsy plumage, added
to the general enjoyment.
The R. P. Walt will leave for White
river this afternoon at four o'clock.
| Thereafter she will be the regular White
river Saturday packet. The power of her
engines, her light draught, the excel
lence of her accommodations, aud the
popularity of her officers, as we'll as their
experience, render her at once sure to be
q favorite.
