he made q speech to the crowd that WRs
gathered about him, and expressed his
gratitude TO his neighbors for the honor
bestowed, and especially TO Coroner Moi

FULLY for Dents election.
A young gentleman whose convivial
I disposition has led him to "tOss the dOW-

would not forget his pledge, has had an

Yesterday afternoon D. NJ. RObinett,
of Arkansas, was again brought before
Judge Halsey on hGbeGS corpus. IL viii
be recOllected that Robinett has been in
confinement for some days psst, awaiting
q reQuisitiOn from the Governor Of Ar

O.. s. Elliott. The prisoner was repre-
sented by J. P Caruth6rs, and Geo. Wash

Some Of the PoorhOuse Commission
ers propose 70 let out on contract the
feeding and general care Of the county
psIpers. The persons commonly found
In the p~OOrhOuse are sick, MANNED n
inhrm, who require skilled care and at
rentiOn, and not merely g bed and so
many ounces of food per day. No on
tractor is a philanthrOpist, and the first
thing we should hear would be an ar
rsnEsmeut with the druggist for cheap
p5isOus instead Of physic, and doubtless
he WOul ssek 70 strike up a bargain with

ers for sums paid for the railroad stock

currency in this county, and the people
should not suffer stock gamblers to cheat

ties and those sharp enough to know that
the o will psy and prove to be good
property will buy up the stock. Silly
people made the sensible rich by selling
out their railroad stocks, before the war,
event which alone prevented the cr6a-
lion Of enormous fortunes by these de-
lrsciElors and spectators in Memphis

The GsyOso House is also offered 20 the
.ouu-y. This venerable wreck of former
