Tomorrow night has been set apart
for a benefit, at Broom's, to those two.
favorites, the fremont sisters. These
Young ladies are vocaliSts OF no common

presented, otherwise.
Officer Milligan was arrested yester-
day, on a warrant sworn cut by a negro,
for assault and battery. The case came
up before Squire Griffith, and there was
the usual "cloud Of witness" of the
s'nigser'' persuasion, to swear anything
that the accuser might want. We could
not wait to near all the testimony, but
such rs was offered showed the officer to
have been acting in discharge of his
duty.

There was nothing done by the Coun-
ty Court yesterday. At the July term
an order was made increasing the bonds
of Mr.. Chiel Woodward, County Trustee,
hftv Thousand dollars. No step having
been taken to comply with the order, the
Court, on Tuesday, reiterated he same,
and made it ~ilstdHteT. On going to serve
it, however, it was found that Mr.. Wood
ward was out of town temporarily. This,
no doubt, has caused the delay, as Mr..
Woodward can furnish any required Sc
eurity without the least trouble. The
matter will lie over until the next term
of Court.
"A very ingenious trick has recently
come to light, by which ten five dollar
bills are manufactured out of nine, with
but one FASTING to each of the manufac-
a--aa -CtaE aDA that in diffarant nRTtG of
each note, and each note minus one-tenth
of itself. This loss is hardly perceptible
with a casual glance, and it is said large
numbers of these mutilated bills are in
circulation. Be careful. The department
will not redeem a bill which bears evil
dence on its face that it has been tam
pered with.
1t turns out that Nj. James Norris
did not shoot the negro George Peters, on
Cane creek, as charged, and as reported
Yesterday morning, but only struck him
with a stick. The circumstances, as de-
tailed to us yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Moffatt, are simply these: Mr.. Norris
rented a track of fifty acres OF land to Pc
tiers, on certain conditions. Some days
ago Mr.. y. saw that Peters was neglect
ing his crop, and that it was becoming
choked up with grass, and in accordance
with one of the stipuIatiOns in b agree

out. This was the occasion of much inso
lence, threats. etc, from Peters, and Mr..
Norris at last in self defense, drove him
of from the place. In revenge he came
in town and got out a warrant for Norris
on a charge OF assault with intent to kill.
Mr.. Mofatt served the warrant yesterday,
and Mr.. Norris went before Squire Grit
fifth and gave bonds for his appearance.
There are several reasons why the
census returns of the city ought not to
be made finally until cool weather sets
in. Fully eight per cent. of our white
Formulation are out of town, some travel
ing in one direction and some in another
large numbers OF cOiored people, whose
homes are really in Memphis, and who
come here to vote, are out on farms work
ing crops; another large portion are chop
ping wood, and several hundred are work
ing on railroads, etc. There are not less
than from five to seven thousand now
absent from the city who ought TO be on
the census returns, but who viii not be
il they are made before cold weather sets
in. Another reason is that, until the
planter harvests his crops, he can form
accurate idea of the value, etc, Of his
products. As this is n OF the most inn
