Money.

As the month draws to close the fl
.nancial situation is the theme of CONVEX
satiou on Madison street, and nearly all
of our leading fnanciers are of the opin-
ion that money, though not abundant, is
comparatively easy. Our merchants are
not calling upon the banks for assistance
TO the extent they did year ago and
all indications point to a prompt settle
ment of all paper falling due between
the LIST and Sd instant; in fact, we have
yet to learn of a single case where even
an intimation has been given that a
further extension would be asked. Rates
of discount are steady at 10 to II per
cent at the banks, and y to q per cent
in the open market, .,
Exchange is making slowly to-day.
New York and other Eastern bills are
taAen at ] to &c discount, and New Or
leans at &c discount. In selling the rate
is par on all points North and East
Gold is bought to-day at llO3 to Ill,
with but little offering.
Local stocks are quiet, and except an
increased demand for county scrip and
an advance in rates there is nothing
new TO report Dealers offer IS to s53c
and sell at sc to Sic in a small
way. Tennessee money is dull at 81

The following is given as a correct list

$4,000; the Underwriters value, March,
1868, was $4,000. She was owned by
Messrs. Rogers Il Simms Of this city.
She was valued at $4,000, and insured
for about $4,000. The boat had no cargo
on board at the time Of her destruction.

Prize fighting has become grand hum

The new County Of Nashoba takes
away from Shelby County the following
magistrates: Justices Harrell and Allen
of the 9Th district; Justices Bleckley
and Irby Of the 10th; Justices Walker
and Jones of the llth, aud Justice Pul-
Ian Of the It'll. Twelve miles square
will be taken from the southeast corner
Of the county, provided two-thirds OF the
actual voters of the district indorse the
action of the Legislature-a fact which
is pronounced doubtful by those profess
ing to know the sentiment of the inhab-
itants of that section.
Two white men and one negro have
been convicted Of murder in the first
degree in the Criminal Court during
the present term. These convictions
have had wonderful effect upon the
shootists who we're ready to get away
with their man every evening before ten
o'clock They now think several times
before they draw pistols to commit
homicide, and Memphis is not deluged
in blood as it was some months since.
The chances that liberal system of
hanging will be introduced by outraged
law aud justice into Shelby county are
growing stronger every day. The death
penalty saves life.
Mississippi is enjoying political war
at present. In DeSoto county seven
negroes are candidates for Office. In
Pamela county the Radicals have two
negroes and one white man on their
ticket for legislative honors, while the
Democrats place one negro and two
white men on their ticket for similar po-
sitions. Whichever way you vote you
will have to take Sambo, custom more
honored in the breach than the observ-
ance. Many citizens heretofore re-
garded as sound in North Mississippi
have come out in favor Of the Radical
ticket, being induced to do SO by reason
of local or personal interests.

!, MEMPHIS THEATER.-The Oates troupe
appeared in Fortunio last evening, The
comic opera or extravaganza, Fortunio,
is full of good things--popular hits, COM
zeal positions and operate gems. There
were several charming solos, duets and
quartettes sung last evening in the most
musical manner by the Oates troupe.
The spirited and captivating acting of
Mrs. Oates created the greatest sensa-
ton, and she was compelled to
respond TO several encores. Fortunio
will be presented again this evening, in
order to give every one an opportunity
to witness this most attractive comic
opera in the repertoire of the company.
1t is worth the price of admission to
hear the song, Come into the Garden,
Maud. 2 That laughable bundle OF
rhymes, Whenever l Cease to Love

lections from Martha, Trovatore, Bo

Conviction of michael MaIouey.

Conviction of Michael MalOney.
: Last evening the Criminal Court jury,
in the case of the State VS.. Michael
Maloney, indictment for murder, return
ed a verdict Of murder in the first de-
gree, but found mitigating circumstances
and recommended the prisoner TO the
mercy OF the Court
Maloney, in 1869, shot an old negro
man through the back Of the head in
North Memphis; was arrested, indicted
and escaped. A few weeks since be re-
turned to Memphis, believing all recol-
lection of his fearful crime had passed
away. He was at once rearrested. At
torney General Wright and his assist
ant, Captain Cannon, dug up the testi-
mony and prosecuted the case with
rigor, which resulted in the conviction
above related. The testimony showed
