Mr.. r. W. Younge, late acting man
ager of the Memphis Hheater, leaves to-
day for Little Rock and the various towns
of Arkansas, accompanied by Mrs.
Younge and Miss Ann Mariah Quinn,
on a starring tour. Mr.. Younge has made
a great many warm friends in this city,
who will wish him a hearty God speed on
his travels, and we bespeak for him IN
limited success. Miss Quinn has been
living for several months in our city, Win
her father, and has made a most favora-
bic impression upon all who met her
socially. We most heartily recommend
her to the good graces Of our friends n
contemporaries.
ST. Louis merchants have organized a
strong company to subsidize steamers TO

toWps on each of the three rivers IN

cannot convey freights from st. Louis to
Arkansas towns as cheaply as such boats,

This matter should be brought before the

We had the pleasure Of sharing a
bottle of PEPPER Heidseick on Saturday
night, cooled with ice manufactured by
the Memphis Ice Company. The ma
ehinery was a long time getting here,
nut il is now in place and in working
order. From to-day q new era begins In
the ice trade of Memphis, and the puolc
will soon be enjoying ice at q cent a
pound retail, The specimen Jumps
which we saw and tested, were about
ten inches long, eight inches wide n
three deep-almOst as clear as plate glass.
We hone bv next Sunday TO chronicle the
fact that every business house in Mem

The committees appointed at the
called meeting of merchants and others
to negotiate for a subscription by the city
and county to the Selma road meet this
afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the Hall, on the
corner of Front and Court streets. Col.
| Lacey and Gov. Harris are chairmen Of
the two committees. An interesting dis
cussiOn OF, questions presented Will PROB
ably occur. 1t is not publicly known
what action has been taken by the COun-
ty Court, though there is no doubt that
the city government will make b sub
~scription of $3.50 600 required at its hands.
The county of Miriam was organized be-
cause the people of that district do not
deem themselves specially interested in
the railroad measures which must be in
valuable to the whole county, and with
ont which Memphis must remain a little
entrepot for cotton bales. The meeting
this afternoon should be largely attended
by taxpayers.

AMUsEMENTs.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-Last Saturday
night closed a season of thirty-hve weeks
at the Memphis Theater. During this pro
lon9ed season, we have had a great varie-
ty Of entertainments. In the legitimate
line, Miss Marriott, Mr.. Dominick Muir
ray and Miss Ffddes, Mr.. Frank Mayo
Mrs. Bowers, Mr.. jefferson, Miss Tiffany
Miss Lucille Western, Mrs, Scott Siddons'
Miss Kate Reynolds nj Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Watkins. In the burlesque way,
Uefangwell, the Worrell Sisters and the
LinRard Continuation. In the musical
line, Grau's German, Miss Riching's
English. BrignoH italian and Susan Gal
ton Comic Opera. In the Ethiopian way,
we have had the Buckley, Emerson and
LaRue Ministries. The Fox Pantomime
and KiraIfy Ballet Troupe lave given us
a taste of their quality, and made as
laugh heartily at the ludicrous scenes and
incidents of the lannon's "Humpty Dump
ty." The season closes and the curtain
falls on the understanding bells of the
Berger Family. In reviewing the list Of
candidates for public favor, we are In
cllned to say there is enough of 1t, such
as it Is, and that it is good enough what
there is of 1t. We doubt If the season
has been a financial success for the pro-
prietors, but think their efforts have de-
served it. The Theater has been made
one Of the most elegant and comfortable
in tRs country. They have been untiring
in their efforts to present attractive en-
tertainments, but have, no doubt, made
some mistakes, which it is to be hoped
may be avoided in future. They must
have learned that the public of Memphis
will not tolerate any amusements not
strictly frst-class. Seeond-rate stars and
weak companies better give Memphis a
wide berth. The press and public of 9TH
er cities may be more easily satisfied, but
here they are more exacting, and demand
smusements of an unexceptionable char
acter, and though it may be different IN
other communities, here the representa-
tions of the press are independent, and
have too high an appreciation of their
position as directors of public opinion
and advocates of the highest grade of
taste and morality to be wheedled into
an Endorsement of anything of a doubt
full character. We have the kindest feel
ings for the managers and proprietors of
the Theater, and throw out these hints
with the best intentions, hoping they may
profit by them and arrange their pro-
amm for next season, so as to satisfy
the reasonable expectations of an intell-
gent and discriminating, though exact
ing, community.

JUSTICE TO the COUNTY.

Editors Appeal: Much complaint is
made in the city against the Democracy
of the county, because the Radical ticket
in the election Just passed ran ahead in
the county precincts. Such complaints
do injustice to the white people of the
county. In that contest they did we'll
very well, As will be readily seen by the
statement Of a few facts, to which 1 call
the earnest attention of our city voters:
l. There are a large number of negroes
in the country, a much larger number IN
proportion 70 the population than in the
city. At the judicial election they were
required to vote each man IN his
owa district. This swelled the Radi-
cal vote in the county. Heretofore
A large number Of these negroes have
voted in the city. This time they all
voted at home, hence the result as shown
by the returns.
2. 1t is the busiest season of the year.
Whenever a farmer left home to go to
the polls, his laborers, all negroes were
sure to follow. II by remaining at home
and setting the example to his hands
he could keep them at work on that day,
there was nothing lost to our party.
He believed the whole negro vote Of the
country would have swelled their major
ity much more than it was. The best
posted citizens OF the country think there
were at least 1900 negro votes in the
country that were not cast. All of the
white votes cast would not have over
come this. AS it is didn't they act wise
" who stayed at home Nth their hands?
3. The citizens of the county, as well as
those in the city, have had q surfeit Of
elections. They nave been thoroughly
Disguised within the past year with the
multitude of elections held. Is 1t not so
in the cityg How many of our best citi-
zens STAYED at their offices and counting
moons on Thursday At least two thou
sand. They would have been required to
walk not more than g quarter of a mile,
and lose not more than one hour, and yet
they did not vote. Doesn't it become us
then 70 look at home? Let US shake of
this lethsrgy, and thus set an example to
our country friend before we undertake
TO chide them for q nOn-performance Of
duty. As It is, we have wOn a victory
for which we cannot be too thankful, and
on q fair examination Of the facts it will
be found that we are largely indebted to
the country for the results.
For the future success Of the party,
then, I, as a resident Of the city, earnestly
and sincerely ask that we cease complain
ing against any n and thank all who
contributed to the result, both in the
country and city,. Let US work hsrmoni-
ously, and theoretically together IN fu-
ture, that we may always attain the same

SALE OF THE TUCKER RESIDENCE To-
DAY. A more desirable residence
has seldom been placed upon the market
at public sale, than the Tucker place,
which has been some time advertised in
our columns, and which is to be disposed
of to the highest bidder atO-day at Il
o'clock, at the Real Estate Exchange OF
Royster, Irrelevant q Co. Now, that the
summer heat is tempting the people to
seek the shade and refreshing air of the
country. there ought to be many to come
in competition for such a delightful place
as this, containing all the advantages OF
location, health and society that could be
desired for a suburbana home, 50 conye

RIVER, WEATHER, AND BUSINESS.
GAS WORKS, May %, 1870.
The river fell 4 inches in the past a
hours. Below high water mark of 1857,
Is feet IL inches.
CHARLES GOODWIN,
Superintendent Gas Works.
The decline goes on steadily here, and
at last it has reached the twenty feet notch
below high water mark. The bar oppo-
site is rearing its head by degrees and the
ferrvboat has to make a circuitous route
to Hope6eld. Our dispatches give the
very latest from above. The Upper Mis-
sissippi is falling as is also the Missouri
to Omaha, but from the following which
we Jake from q Montana paper of the 10th,
it would seem big water prevails there /:
1.-THE recent rains and melting snow
have caused an Utmost unprecedented rise
in all the mountain streams, which will
pf$e the Missouri the largest June rise she
has had for a number of years, n afford
an excellent boating season."
Surprising this to be true, it has taken
this rise a long while to get out. The
Arkansas is low and White river will
soon be heard from on the same score. It
ia the settled opinion of old steamboat
men that the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
will be more difficult of navigation this
summer and fall than they have been for
many years. The many rapid rises and
declines of both rivers during the past
winter and spring have, doubtless, filled
ND many of the well-dehned channels Of
wears previous. Bars with double chan
nels. neither of which will have sufficient
water to permit the passage Of any but
the ightest draught boats, will present q
formidable barrier to progressive nayiga-
tion.
