CITY NOTICES.
Criminal Court Judge.

FEILow- CITIZENS: The distinguished
gentleman who very recently filed this
high and responsible position, and was
again candidate for reelection, we all
have learned is no more-yet he lives in
remembrance of men-his name is a house
hould word in every family; his own re-
corded actions stand in engraven lines of
public gratitude The ''Ofice of Criminal
Court Judge that he filed, is now sought
by several distinguished aspirants, but by
none possessing more nobility and dignity
of character than Gen. Il. I. Smiley.
There is much wrangling for Office Just
now; indeed, our political atmosphere is
in a state of fermentation and many are
the seething aspersions of character which
boil to the surface at such time, yet l
have heard of none to the injury of this
esteemed fellow-citizen
Politics and money-making have not so
engrossed his mind to the disregard of
all better feeling.
Gen, Smiley, as lawyer, ranks high
among his professional brethren; his legal
attainments are extensive; very few can
boast of manners more graceful, or Ian
guage, more universally chaste. In his
speeches he is like beautiful river mean
uoILhB through noWery meauOW, DUt
never overfows its banks"
In the discharge of duties as Judge, he
never can gain reputation for unnecessary
severity; no gentleman in our midst is
more humane; naturally refined, nothing
discordant seems to exist in his organiza-
ton.
He has never turned deaf ear to the
friendless, the helpless, the orphan or the
widow; he has always endeavored to re-
heve the distressed and injured of all
classes he has always been friend TO
peace and the happiness of mankind every
where; he has often, at great sacrifice of
means and time, devoted himself to recon-
Cling contending parties opeace and good
will, while he might fairly, by the general
rules of his profession, drawn from their
litigation no uncomfortable profit to him
self Many in this city and surrounding
country, both black and white, have felt
the generosity Of his character and Jlisin-
terested kindness. Indeed, he seems to
have expended his all among his people,
and he surely deserves his present aspira-
ton crow ned with success. N, G.

A lady stood before her mirror at the
Maxwell House a few mornings since.
With her ivory handled brush she tried to
give the finishing touch to her golden
tresses. The hair of the brush had grown
so long and soft that it would not per-
form the work. Cause why? 1t had come
in contact with the Louisiana Creole Hair
Restorer?

Holder, President Of the Liverpool Cotton
Brokers Association, calling attention to
this system and its demoralizing effects
upon the trade at large by afording un-
usual facilities to spectators engaged in
gambling upon prospective fluctuations.
The letter states that great dissatisfaction
IS felt at the power possessed by operatives
to sell cotton ''short" or ''bear," whereby
few spectators are enabled by their enors
NOUS increase of sales to greatly depreciatea
the value on the spot and ahoat 1t has
been suggested that this evil might be nit
lgated by requiring deposits to be made on
all contracts for arrival in which the ships
name Is not given, and also upon all con.
tracts for future delivery, but there may
be some difficulty experienced in enforcing
regulation. 1t is also believed that some
notifications should be made in the pres
ent rules relating to arrival contracts to
facilitate the passing of cotton from the
original seller to the last buyer. It is
therefore thought desirable that the assc-
clatlon should take these matters into in
mediate consideration, and that commit
tee be appointed to devise means of reg
ulating the present system of selling cot
10 arrive" and for forward delivery, and
that delegates from the New York Chamber
OF Commerce and the China and East In
dla Association be invited to take part in
their deliberations. 1t is gratifying to
learn that this movement is highly ap-
proved IN financial circles; the principal
bankers IN Liverpool having sent a letter
to the President of the association urging
that the matter receive immediate atten.
ton. 1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
the operators of Liverpool will introduce
tins much needed reform, and that the
present system of gambling in this import
ant article of commerce will soon be
stopped. There is a need of similar re-
form In the cotton trade of this port, and
the legitimate operators would do well to
insist upon the adoption of regulators SIM
liar to those proposed by the dealers of
Liverpool. Our sales of cotton are mainly
speculative, and it has become necessary
for our cotton dealers TO adopt some sys-
tenn of regulating transactions by which
they can be protected against the gambling
operations of irresponsible Spectators.

The Banner of Peacc-Changc of
PrOprieIOrss

The Banner Of Peace, the organ and ex-
ponent of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in this city, has been sold by DR..
Blake, who gives place in its conduct and
management to Rev. S. P Chestnut, of
GAINESVILLE. The sale by DR.. 3. was rem
dered necessary by his failing health, the
result of overwork. His industry is equal
TO his ability, and the two combined has
placed the BagBer If Peace in the front
rank of the religious papers of the period
He has also edited and published the 1heO-
logical Medium, and the Sabbath School
Gem, the former standard Quarterly, and
the latter the most extensively circulated
Sunday school paper ever published in the
South. These he retains, and will continue
to edit them. The church will not lose his
services, but by this tightening of his
labors, will have the better fruits of his fine
intellect.
Mr.. Chestnut, DR.. Blake's successor, is
ripe scholar and thorough theologian, hav-
ing graduated in literature at Princeton
College, and in theology at Cumberland
University. lie will have associated with
him Prof. Mariner, for many years Profess
sor of Ancient and Modern Languages in
Cumberland University. The Banner Of
Peace will, therefore, continue to be an
able and worthy organ of the Church, as
heretofore.

TribuIations of a Census Takcr.

H. P. Gould, of Fentress county, who,
as Assistant Marshal, has been engaged IN
taking the census in that region, writes to
Marshal Harrison that he has Travelled $50
miles through brush and brake, and briar
and bog, traversing almost a wilderness of
territory, with but few families. He has
been bit by :uusquitoos, fieas, bugs and
flies, and barked at by dogs. His horse
got scared at the wolves and threw him,
almost breaking one leg. He has had a
hard time generally, and waits for further
instruction.
