Aside from collections and q moderately ac-
tive, in fact, lively business in checking. there
is nothing Of Importance to mention to-day in
connection with local monetary affairs. There
is an increasing demand for money, conse-
quent upon a more active condition of the
general markets, but the requirements of mer-
chants as yet are not such as to produce any
essential change in the policy Of the banks and
banking houses. though it Is possible. and
even probable, that from this time their lines
of discounts viii be restricted principally to
the wants Of regular customers. The rates Of
discount have not. up to the present time, been
advanced, but are steady at 10 TO Il per cent.
Upon the street, where the Heather Chinee"
is, or was, master Of the situation. the rates
are IL to 2Z per cent per month.
Exchange is in moderate supply, with few
cotton bills offering. Accommodation trans
actions between banks are reported at 81 so
premium per $1,000. The counter buying rate
is par and selling rate &c premium for Eastern
checks.
| About 5000 in gold has been purchased by
dealers to-day, the buying rate being 1l21s for
$500 and Il214 for $1,000. and smaller lots at
III. In New York the premium opened at
ll25S, and after declining nc again advanced
to the opening price, and was steady at 2 p m.
Local scrips, stocks and securities are with
out the slightest change. There is demand
for Memphis currency IS, long date. at 5g1Sc,
and offerings at 6O1lc. which is the price in
Baltimore. Bank of Tennessee money is IS to
SIC. Shelby county warrants are held at SIC.
with SIC bid.

THE BaOw w CASE.
The Counsel for the state Rest tIie
Cause.-The Defense Will Commence
at 2:3O this Afternoon.

The Counsel for the state Rest the
Case-The Defense Will Commences
at 2:3O this Afternoon.
The investigation of this case was re-
sumed at II clocktoday before Esquire
Moore at the Second Circuit Court room.
The attendance Of spectators was quite
large, crowding the courtroom to ex-
cess. dft psffn Ht
DR.. Hatch was introduced, and stated
that he attended on Capt. Adams after
he was shot. When he saw him first
some persons were taking him out Of a
delivery wagon in front of the Worsham
House, on Adams street. Seeing the
nature of his wound, he hurrid back to
his Office to geta tourniquet to stop the
hemorrhage. Capt Adams had been
carried to his room. when he returned.
He believed that if he could have seen
him ten minutes sooner, or in few
minutes after he was shot, his life could
have been saved. At least fifty per
cent. Of such cases recover; that is the
estimate of the chances Of recovery from
such wounds. DR., Hatch described the
nature of the wound, and entered into a
general description Of gun-shot wounds
generally So
Captain Athey stated that General
Brown came to the station-house after
the shooting and asked who was in
charge. He Captain Athey) was sent
for, and General Brown said, in sub
stance: 81 have shot man in Seessel's
store, and have, probably, killed him.
l want to give myself up" " He was
about to state why he shot him, but l
prevented him. / did not wish to hear
any confession, as thought the shoot
ing was about family affair" General
Brown handed a shotgun to him. (The
shotgun was produced in court, and
identified by Captain Athey. At the
request of counsel the remaining charge
was drawn, revealing about eleven buck
shot and moderate charge of powder.
The cap did not show any signs Of ex-
plosion).
There was some otherte testimony drawn
out, but was immaterial, At this stage
of the examination Col. Casey Young
announced that the State rested the case,
but they might desire to examine Dr..
Lynch in chief, hereafter.
Gov. Harris and Judge Venable, coun-
sci oe the defendant, preferred that the
State should close its case, as they did
not wish the attention of the court di-
rected from the line of defense after it
was commenced. After some discussion,
in order to get up witnesses for the de-
tense, Justice Moore adjourned the in
vestigation over to 2:3O o clock this after
noon.

shot at and captured on last Wednesday
by officer Shelby, is a notorious lover OF
horseAesh. He is charged with stealing
two orses, and the proof against him is
conclusive, but yet he cannot be tired

capped convict from the penitentiary,
heYing been sent to that State institu-
ton two years since by our Criminal
Court, on the charge.of stealing horse,

Row merchant. Taylor was then in
dicted under another name, and was
sentenced to four years imprisonmentin

months he escaped while working in the
quarries near Nashville, and had not

turned up as a professor of horse-steal-
ing. he viii be sent back to his prison
house to serve out his unexpired term Of
three years and four months, with the
additional period Of imprisonment for
the escape. f..-.
