thing.

sal suffrage or the Sam. Walker party in
tend to make you share your berths with

The Board OF Aldermen meet to-mor-
row evening for the last time. The occa-
sion will, no doubt, be a very affecting
one. We shall go thither prepared to
weep.
There are several balls and social
parties on the tapis for the coming week.
The affair of the season, however, is to be
the select subscription party at Cochran

st. Peters Orphan Association have
elected the following officers TO serve the

The woods of Arkansas along the line
of the railroad are very full of game.
Fish are also plentiful in the lakes. We
hear of several camping parties who have
spent the holidays hunting and fishing
over there.
We learn that a difficulty occurred,
day before yesterday, at COldwater Sta
ton, or the Mississippi Central Railroad,
between two men-cOusins-whOse names
we could not learn, in whichone man was
killed.
The negro preachers instructed their
congregations last night a week ago, to
vote against Black for Mayor. Last night
they changed the instruction to vote
'gainst Johnson We suppose the re-
commendation was to vote for Walker.
up to a late hour yesterday evening
the steamer Mississippi, on board of
which are the 800 Chinese laborers, had
not passed down. Her arrival is lOOk
for This morning. Considerable curiosity
to see the Celestials is evidenced by the
number of inquiries made in regard to the
boat.
The attention of Capt. J.. O'Durff, Sec
rotary of the Democratic Executive Com
mtttee, is called to a communication
in another column, signed Third
Ward" The writer is an anxious enquirer
after truth, and represents the sentiments
not only of the Third ward, but the entire
Democratic party in the city.
Arthur D. Gibson, Esq, is announced
as a candidate for Alderman of the Third
Ward on the white mans platform. Mr..
Gibson as a member of the house Of Van
Pelt Il Gibson, and is well and most favor
ably known TO the citizens of Memphis.
The Third Ward could not be better rep
resented.
Mr.. Sam. Walker is the universal-suf-
frage-equal-rightS-to-the-negro candidate
for Mayor. Equal rights to vote means
equal right 10 hold Office, consequently If
he is elected he must put negroes on the
police, negroes on the fire department, ne
groes on the street force-negroes every
where. How do you like this, white
men?
"A very sudden death occurred at
Broom's Opera House night before last,
the decedent being Peter Crosby, a youth
of about nineteen years of age, who for
years has been attached TO Mr.. Broom in
the capacity of bill-carrier and poster. He
was seized with an apoplectic tit about ten
o'clock in the evening, and died in the
ours of tour hours. A c%oroner's inquest
was held yesterday, and a verdict rem
dered in accordance with the facts as sta
ted above. His remains will be buried
this morning at ten O'Clock.
One of those nuisances, which while
causing considerable trouble and expense,
are more easily pointed out than reme-
died, are the nails and lacks which have
been driven part wey into the telegraph
and awning posts around town, to attach
theater bills, programmes, posters, etc.
The papers are torn away, and the nails
left projecting from the posts catch the
clothing of passers by, making ugly rents,
and sometimes running costly garments.
If the city will by ordinance compel the
men who use the posts for this style Of
advertising to drive the nails and tacks
up into the wood, much annoyance and
expense might be saved citizens.
There is an on dit that, in the impossi-
BILE event Of his election, Walker proposes
to make Beaumont Chief Of Police, and
DR.. Dickerson Recorder. The right bower
of Mr.. Lynn is supposed to be Thomas
Hamilton. If Beaumont will not have it
again, perhaps the hero of Water Valley
will take the place of Chief of Police If he
can get it, on being turned out of Con-
gress, which is supposed to be imminent.
We have a curiosity to see the states of
both Walker and Lynn, just for the fun of
the thing, even if they haze to be rubbed
u next Thursday. But as We have not
seen them, we can't tell what they
are.
Go TO Assembly Hallto-night-the Mil
tonian Tableaux.
OUR stock of fannels must be sold, re-
gardlsss of cost. A. SEESSEL & SON.
