CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
The Special meeting Yesterda,

The Special Meeting Yesterday.
AT called meeting held yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Nelson stated that the
meeting had been called for the purpose
Of considering the following resolution,
which was read to the meeting:
WHEREAS, There is deep and settled
conviction in the minds of the people of
all classes throughout the Southern
States that the acts of Congress, levying
a special tax on raw cotton whilst all
other products worth ten-fold more were
untaxed), were not only partial, unjust
and destructive of our equal rights as
citizens and States, but that such egis-
lation, occasioned, no doubt, by asperi-
tiles growing out of the late civil war, is
expressly inhibited by the plain provis-
ions of the Constitution; and, whereas,
it is believed that all undue excitement
has subsidized; that Congress will be in
huenced by an appeal to their justice
and reason; and as there is a general
desire on the part of the people of the
surrounding States that this and other
Chambers of Commerce and Boards of
Trade should properly present this ques-
ton to their consideration it is there
fore and hereby ordered by the Memphis
Chamber of Commerce that the Presi-
dent shall appoint committee of ten
who are well versed in such matters,
who shall investigate this question and
report to the next regular meeting.
The resolutions were adopted, and
thereupon the President appointed the
following gentlemen to constitute said
Messrs. Robertson Topp,
I. A. Nelson, Moses j. Wicks, Sam
Tate, Barbour Lewis, f. M. Mahan, l.
NJ. Hill, A. T. Lacey, VIM. II. Cherry
and Vim. M. Harrington.
The meeting then adjourned to the
next regular meeting on Monday next.

The Lager Beer Consumption az
the TivOlf.

1t is the opinion of many learned
physicians that the celebrated lager
beer obtained at the Tivoli Hall, on
South Court Square, is a beverage con-
ducive to health, and is the purest in
the market. 1t equals the celebrated
" Hodscher Malt Extract" which in
Germany is so often used for medical
purposes. During the heated season it
is regarded as a most healthy drink, be-
ing ambitious. The ingredients out of
which it is manufactured-pure malt
and hops-are known to be highly medi-
cinal in their preparation. The i'm
mense amount Of beer consumed at the
Tiyoli Hall daily proves it to be favor
lite beverage with our citizens, thousands
Of whom drink it on account of its purity
and superior flavor.

The escaping" Business.

There are about dozen hackmen in
this city whe disgrace the business they
are engaged in by system of overcharg-
ing called scalping" OF late this has
become an unbearable nuisance at the
transfer ferryboat landing of the Mem
phis and Little Rock railway, at the foot
of Union street. 1t had become so bare
faced that policemen were specially de-
tailed to watch the scalpers and
protect unsuspicious passengers from
robbery. The omnibus tickets are
sold on the trains to passengers,
and the omnibuses are always
ready to take each passenger to
any portion Of the city on the arrival
of the ferryboat. The scalpers" are
always on hand with their hacks and
confederates, who are well known thieves.
These birds of prey rush on board the
boat and take up the tickets from YER
dent passengers, almost drag them into
their hacks and drive off. The con fede-
rate generally gets inside, and, if an OPP
portunity offers itself, pursues a quiet
little game of larceny from the person.
When the passengers are out of view of
the police the "scalper demands FIVE
or ten dollars as fare, and if refused
threatens arrest. After getting the
money he takes the omnibus tickets to
the agent and collects the fare over
again. Yesterday officer Brown, spec
tally detailed, arrested Charles Burns,
a well-known operator in this bus
mess, on the charge above explained,
he having secured several passengers,
their omnibus tickets, etc. Recorder
Scales discharged the defendant on the
grounds that the overt act had not been
the officers not having heard
Burns demanding any fare. Burns at
once swore out a warrant against officer
Brown for assault, trespass, ETC., which
Ease viii be Investigated by Esquire /
Miller this afternoon. OF course the
,fficer did nothing but his duty in ar !
esting Burns, who resisted at the time. ,
t is to be hoped officer Brown and 9TH 7
rs will continue to protect the travelling
public from Burns and his brother
calpers, and arrest the latter whenever
hey attempt to play the double-fare

The river continues its slow decline at
this point and now stands twenty-six
feet five inches below high water mark.
AT Cairo the river began rising slowly
this morning from the recent rains along
the Ohio and its tributaries, and in all
probability a rise Of three feet will be
reported by the early part Of next week.
AS yet the effect of the rains has not
been felt at st. Louis or above as the
rivers are falling but nearly the entire
length of the Ohio has had more or less
during the week, and that stream has
now FIVE feet water below Evansville.
Arkansas river is falling and White river
is stationary. The Cheek for Friar'

much to the regret of the driver and

1t may be well to inform those rash
individuals who are bent on suicide, or
intent on securing sun-stroke, that it
takes one hundred dollars TO bury one
decently in Memphis. OF course no.
hero who suicides or seeks sun-stroke
would desire to be buried as pauper by
the county. From the above estimate
it will be seen that it is cheaper to live
than to die in Memphis. The above in
formation was kindly furnished us by
friend, who, from motives of curiosity,
investigated the cost and concluded to
postpone IN suicide until the rates of
sepulture are quoted at lower figure.
