An injunction bill was filed in the
First Chancery Court yesterday by 7.
W. Brown, enjoining P. NJ. Winters
(Recorder), a. c. Belts Sergeant a.
arms), and the General Council Of the
city Of Memphis, from further prescott
ing him for failure to comply with an or
dinanee ordering property owners to
grade and lsy down sidewalks on Man
assas street. The ordinance provides
that in case OF failure on the part Of the
property owners to grade and lay down
sidewalks, after due notice, they can be
cited to appear beforegthe Recorder, and
can be fined not exceeding one dollar
per foot front--but the fine shall not
exceed fifty dollars. Mr.. Brown was
fined as abeve by the Recorder, aud took
an appeal to the Circuit Court. Still
failing to comply with the order (be-
lieving the city had 20 such authority or
power), city warrant was sworn out
against him by the Sergeant'at-Arms
for the violation Of the ordinance,
but before the second trial came of,
the injunction above referred TO was ex-
ecuted on all the parties. Another
branch Of the case appears in the First
Circuit Court. Mr. Brown has brought
suit against p. NJ. Winters and A. G.
Belts in an action to his damage for
ten thousand dollars. Mr.. Brown claims
that the city can only bring a civil suit
against him for the cost Of the side
walk, should be fail TO grade and put it
down, and cannot proceed against him
in quasi criminal prosecution, or i'm
pose a fine on him for violation Of the
ordinance. The City Attorney and
government take the opposite view Of
the question, and claim that the city has
full power under its charter TO do these
things. The controversy is quite inter
esiing to outsiders, and, no doubt, it will
be fought through by both parties with
spirit and determination.

LATEST TELEGRAMS.
NEW YORK.

New YoRK, October 24.-The pesti-
lence among the horses is rapidly grow
ing in strength. There are now not less
than fifteen thousand cases in the city
requiring medical treatment 1t is i'm
possible to form any idea of the disease
which, although it is Of troublesome
natere. has not proved fatal in a single
instance. The disease appeared yester-
day in its most hideous form, and the
streets were crowded with infected
horses. AS yet no definite or concise
opinion of the exact nature Of the dis
ease has been arrived at by veterinary
surgeons. and although all agree that it
is species Of catarrah, opinions are
divers as to whether it resulted from
something peculiar in the air,
or whether it was brought in
from other infected towns. All agree
that there is little danger in the disease
If proper treatment is observed. Travel
in the city is not yet inpeded to any
great extent, and stages and cars run as
usual. In StilworIh stable of seven
ty.three horses thirty are on the sick
list. All the Express companies stables
have q large number OF horses unable to
york, aud among the employees of sew
eral, il was feared that business would
have to be suspended All the livery
stables have been visited by the plague,
md il many all the horses are sick and
unfit for service. In the fire depart
ment, & case has hardly appeared as
yet, only s55at Ten horses out Of over
one hundred being affected. A veteri-
nary surgeon Of the board Of health is
now examining this disease in the city
and will make report upon the subject
to Gay. A very importan, and interest
ing report is expected.
A meeting Of German iree-shinkers
was held last evening, at which the
speaker Of the evening made TRADE
against the Chief Executive, character
ling the President Of the United States
q: the source of all corruption. He de-
manded in place of the President an
Executive Board and a thorough revi-
sion CT the Constitution, and abolition Of
the Senate. ltft5s
Mrs. Greeley's ailment has taken
new turn. Consumption has been fully
developed, and dropsy set in. The at
tending physician considers the symp-
temps a sure sign Of approaching disso-
luton, and death may be momentarily
expected. Mr.. Greeley is completely
unherved. Scores Of anxious friends
and numerous letters of coincidence aud
kilograms Of sympathy pour in upon Mr.,
Greeley hourly.

FOUR YEARS AGO AND row.

Some changes have taken place in the
political situation during the last four
wears, which, on the eve Of Presiden'
tial election, may be of interest to note.
-Four years ego North Carolina voted
for Grant by an overwhelming majority
this year Democratic Legislature has
been elected, United States Senator
will be elected, and the State willdoubt-
less 90 for Greeley and Brown. Georgia
went for Bullock in 1868 by a majority
of 10000 but this year rolled up an IN
paralleled Democratic majority Of nearly
100000 The only States South that
could certainly be relied upon for Ssy-
mour and Blair we're Kentucky, Della
ware and Maryland; but this year the
following Southern States can be relied
on for Greeley and Brown: Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Missouri. Leaving
out Arkansas as doubtful, this gives
thirteen States in the South that
are likely to vote for the Dem:
ocratic candidate, instead of the
three that we're certain in 1868.
Take now the Northern States. Con-
necticut and New Hampshire are
claimed for Greeley and Brown, out Of
the six New England States that were
for Grant four years ago. The three
Central States, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana, were Republican then, but H.
diana has been gained by a safe majority
for the Liberal Democratic party, and will
go for Greeley and Brown, and some
hopes are entertained that the 10000
Republican majority in Ohio can be
overcome on the 9th Of November.
There is, likewise good prospect Of
carrying Illinois, Wisconsin, and Mime
sofa, which four years ago we're hope
lessly Republican. New York, as usual,

Greeley and Brown, to say the least, are
much brighter now than were Seymour s
at this time four years ago. The Libe-
rails and Democrats are not disorgan-
lied or disheartened They have made
a good fight thus far, and will redouble
their efforts from now until the
polls close on the 9th of November.
They have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain, and if complete victory
is not won some ground will be gained
and the new party will stand forth armed
in the panoply of truth and right, ready
to battle for principle and pure govern,

would prove vastly interesting reading

cially TO those upon whose worth Juarez
has passed judgment.
