some negroes who are now skulking

arrested at the house of the murdered

says Of Judge T.tW. Brown: "In our
visits to the Supreme Courtroom this
week, we have missed the genial face
of our distinguished friend, Mr..
Brown, of Memphis, who, as we
learn, is only temporarily absent.
This gentleman has made during the
present term Of the court, several able
and effective speeches, by which, no
less than by his fine social bearing, he
has won the hearty esteem of many
to whom, previous to his visit to this
city, he was comparatively a stranger.
We expect not only to greet him
again soon, but to hear from him such
character of speeches, as have already
won for him a commanding position
/ as a LAWYER"

From Cincinnati,

CINCINNATI, May 8.-The various
papers endeavOr to explain the visit
of the railway officials to this city,
but no two agree. The Commercial
says the Little Miami having passed
into the hands of the Pennsylvania
Central, and its passenger traffic be-
ing diverted as much as possible from
the Erie and Lake Shore, the Wander
biIt party determined on a new con-
nection, and have decided to reach
Cincinnati by Cleveland, Sandusky
and Dayton, and then by the Hamil-
ton and Dayton Railroad, with which
the Erie have a contract. Gould
threatens that in case the Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad gives the-ight
of track to the New York Ce1tt' raj
road, to builda short line side by ) lie
of the latter to this point.
The rumOrs of yesterday have been
confirmed by the arrest of Colonel
Thomas A. Roberts, of this city, FORM
erly provost marshal of the second
district, and during the year 1S67-6S,
General Inspector of spirits under the
revenue laws. The charges preferred
by the District Attorney are to the
effect that while General Inspector he
issued fraudulent certificates and
used false brands for large quantities
Of whisky rectitied by S. n. Fowler,
He is charged with conspiring with
Fowler TO defraud the Government
and with having permitted the re-
mOval Of upwards of seventy thousand
gallons of spirits, the tax upon which
at that time was two dollars per gal
Ion. 1t thus appears that the default
amounts to upwards of $l40,G00.
Commissioner Holiday received bail
for the appearance Of Roberts in the
sum of $4,000. The examination takes
place on Tuesday next.
The Orphans pic mic was given to-
day. Ten thousand children partici-
