THE BABY SHOW.
Grand Entry Day-.Th he Rehearsal Yesterday.

The grand rehearsal for the baby show
which is to come on this evening at four
O'Clock, at the park, took place yesterday
evening. There were tWenty-one babies
entered for the race, and all anne out be-
decked in the trappings in which they
are to be exhibited this evening Almost
every seat was occupied in the Square,
and hundreds of young mothers-2nd
"Would-be" mothers filed the walks .ud
avenues as spectators OF the parade. As
W. propose to give in our mex issue a
detailed report Of the procession and
ceremonies OF this evening, we will not
psrtlcularize as to the relative merits Of
the stock on exhibition. We will
simply say that twenty odd prettier ba-
bies could not have been found anywhere.
The following are the names of the en-
tries, as we got them from the nurses,
who are much enthused as 70 the show,
and are betting recklessly on the result.
BE it promised, before reading the list,
that the youngsters named are less than
two years old, and therefore "gandsr'
doesn't make much difference): Emma
Nelson, Billy wilkins, Luda Parks,
Walker Portlcck, Mary Fontaine, Hugh
HOdget, Edmonia Cochrane, Gertrude
Pittnam, Jesse Page Woodward, Robert
PortlOck, John Lonsdale Thompson, Gus
sic Semmes, Coriune Mansfield, Mollie
Macheath, Emma FOntaine, Eva Shsck,
Willie Arlington, Lula Lynch, BIaneh
Myles, Julia Fizsr, Emma Galloway, Lii
lie Fields, - Willins.
In this order the nurses drew them
around the park in their carriages. An
election among them resulted in
choosing Mile Marie FOntaine, 2 yr.O.,
queen, and Mons. Willie NewsOm, 8 yr.O.,
king. From sn inspection, We think the
choice was well made; whether they will
be king and queen " at the show this
evening is more than we can say.
Pools were sold by two old bachelors,
whose names we suppress at their request.
The babies will convene at the Square at
1 pm. precisely.

COUNTY
Decision Of the Contest Election Declared
Void.
New Election archaeological by Burke
and Elicit.

On yesterday the County Court rem
dered their decision in the case OF Stew
art and Moore vs.. Burke and Elliott, de-
elaring the electiOn-On the 18th Of March
last, as to the Justices Of the Fourteenth
Civil District, null and void, and ordered
the COMMISSIONS Of Registration or 9TH
er proper officer to proceed to III the va
cancies occasioned by the expiration Of
this terms Of Moore and Hall.
Burke and Elliott both took an appeal to
the Circuit Court from the decision Of the
court. The proof showed cOnciusivsly
that great frauds were perpstrated upon
the ballOt-bOxes a. the Fifth, Sixth and
Tenth Wards, eolorei; that all and
every negro was allowed to vote
without let or hindrance, not only
once, put as often as they had the impu-
dencs to offer their votes; that only TWO
vacancies existed az the time. and that,
therefore, electors could vote for bu two
candidates. But anxious 20 get in. tick
cts with from three TO Eve names for JUS
tees were voted, aud where they knew
that only two could be voted FOR, the
other names were erased, leaving their
faYOrite two thereon. II was admitted
that the election Was conducted fairly at
the other six polls In the district, stin
the Court concluded to declare their
votes null and void, because 80 thres
polls frauds and irregularities we're
proven suGIClent 10 Fitlate them. Thus
it is the innocent and impartial have 20
suffer for the fraud OF Others. The de-
cisiOn doubtless will result in the cleo
ton of two Radicals, as the same frauds
will again be perpetrstsd. Nine Justices
are now acting in the Fourteenth
District where only three are lawful
The only way to I'D the people Of thess
usUrpsU VIII be to indict every one Of
them for assuming 10 be officers, and col
lecting money and fees under fraudulent
pretenses. Something must be done 90
remedy the evil. Great frauds are being
practieed daily upon the ignorant and
unsuspecting by these pretended officers,
and there viii be no end TO It unless tbs
good citizens take it in hani.
The Court, on yesterday, set aside all
Of the County Commissioners,
designating and establishing voting
places in the several wards, except one
in each but the Fourth Ward, where two
allowed, on account Of part Of the
being In the Fifth District and part
in the Fourteenth DISTRICT. This ascer-
tains with certainty the voting places
authorized by law, and was a good order,

in the suburbs Of the city, has been in the
habit of selling liquor without the proper

yesterday and caught two negroes Ia the
act OF drinking his Ku KluN. For this sly
game he was fined forty dollars, which he
appealed.
W. I. Dune, a rssidenter OF Washington
street, amused himself bv beating his
wife, and, to make things all secure,
threatened to shoot the first policeman

should attempt to arrest him. He. how
ever, was persuaded to 20 to No. %

thieving negro in the city that lOafs
around this corner and finds a market for
his stolen goods in the neighbOrhOOd, VII

Indeed the doors of the members of all
other Protestant denominations of the
city are thrown wide open, and not only
the members of the Conference, but also
all who may attend it, are invited and

The remains Of Major Ed. Trezevant,

Station, March 9, 1868, and buried at Rose
Hill Cemetery, Columbia, Tenn, will ar
rive in this city to-day for refinement in
Elm wood on commemoration day, Satur-
day, It'll inst. The remains Of this gallant
officer have been brought to Memphis by
a number Of his old comrades, who are
anxious 10 have all their dead heroes
buried side by side. Thus, after a lapse
OF years, our braves find a final resting
place in our own "silent'city of the dead.''
When the remains of Major Trezevant are
inferred there will rest beneath the sod OF
ElmwOOd Major Charles Mcdonald, who
fell at Farmington, Major Ed. T~rezevant,
who fell at ThOmpsOn's Station, and Major
Phil. 7. Allen, whose remains but a short
time ago were followed to the grave by a
large number of eX C~onfederates and
others, all three having held the same
ran in Gen. Forests old regiment.

COMMUNICATION RON ago AMI CIT
ATTORNEY.
The Mayor and City Attorney, to whom
was referred the proposition Of 7. W.
Brown, ESQ.,, President of the Memphis
Water Company, respectfully recommend
its rejection, for the following, among
other reasons:
/. The large outlay for the surveys,
maps, estimates, etc, referred to in the
proposition, was made with the o fde
intention, on the part of the city govern
ment, to erect at the proper time suitable
water works, under the powers contained
in her charter. This purpose the city has
not abandoned, and the undersigned see
no reason why it should be now aban-
doned, and ali control of so essential a
public convenience as the supply of water
to the people surrendered to a private
company.
2. 1fthe sale was desirable In itself, the
terms are too indefinite, and too liable to
misunderstanding and litigation to merit
our approval.
