HCalls " to run for office are becoming
fashionable and numerous. Not very
long since we knew Of an sspirant who
wrote out and published the following
call" "The many friends Of -
call upon him to offer himself as o can
didate for Councilman for the - ward.
Our friend replied in the next issue Of
the paper as follows Not being an
aspirant for office, had no intention Of
running, but not wishing to refdse my
friends any request they might make
upon me, offer myself as candidate
for election" etc. 7.4I ss.ai
The most popular men in Memphis,
or at least those best known, are news
paper reporters" yet We never hear Of
any Of them being called to sacrifice
themselves on the official altar of patri-
otism. Knowing everybody's business
and being mot only willing but anxious
to take charge of it for an items sake,
a newspaper reporter would make a
first-class Alderman, Councilman, Chief
Of Police, Recorder-in fact, first
class anything, provided the pay
was sufficient We do not know re-
porter in the city, however, who would be
willing to resign his position in the
fourth estate" for little municipal
office; and then, being generous and
magnanimous fellows, and having so
many old and new friends to button-hole
them on the street corners andsask them
for gratuitous puff" they (the re-
porters) are willing to stand back and
write up their friends at the usual rates
charged by leading journals.

The apparently reliable account Of
the " Maury County tragedy which ap-

TO have been incorrect in every particu-

patch was received to-day from Spring
Hill, Maury county. which states that
Mr.. Eugene Greenlaw was alive and

The case Of lien VS.. the German Ma
tional Bank, on trial in the First Circuit
Court to-day, involves many interesting
legal points. lien gave time check
on the bank to Schloss for an amount
lost at the little game of poker, The
bank discounted the check for Schloss
before It fell due, and now lien sues the
bank for the amount--it having been
charged up TO him. The bank claims
that lien assented to the check being
charged up without manking any expla-
nation as to the condition. The case
will close some time this afternoon.

RIVER, BUSINESS, MISCELLANEOUS.
The river has fallen four inches since
noon yesterday, and is now but one foot
eight inches above the lowest stage Of
the season. The decline continues at
all points above, on the Ohio as well as
the Mississippi, and instead Of having
high water during this month, as was
anticipated by some Of our up-river
friends, there viii be hardly sufficient for
safe navigation, even to Cairo. The
weather was mild and pleasant yesier-
day, and last night heavy fog settled
upon the river; to-day it IS chilly and
