LOCAL ELEcTIoN.-The e1eetionof seven mem
bers to constitute our Board of Police, will come
off on the first of April This Board will have
to elect a Mayor, or President of the Council, a
Secretary, Treasurer Town Attorney, Printer,
Assessor, and Constable. This tast Office seems
to be the most important, in consideration Of the
fact that for several years past this officer has
received fixed salary of one thousand dollars
per annuln, besides the pcrquisites of said office,
which it is said, sometimes amount to as much
as $4,000.
1t is evident, however, that public opinion de-
mands notable reduction of this salary and il
we are not mistaken there is ticket already
formed of citizens who have consented to allow
themselves to be brought forward as Reform
candidates. We will see if this ticket is sue.
cessful.
We learn that there are or 8 candidates fo1
the office of constable; no doubt there are sew
eraf in the list who would be willing to accept
the Office at salary of $500, or even less, and
as the Council has the right to choose Consta
BILE, to fix his salary, and to employ him by the
month, or for the year, there is no reason why
he should not be appointed by the month at 81
much per month.
The constable, at salary of $1,000 receives
more than all the other officers combined, fo
the Secretary, Treasurer Attorney, Printer
Assessor &C., only receive all together but $500

THE f
A Young Man from the Country ROped
into n Game of ROuge-et-NOir,
Loses Forty Dollars and
Learns "a Lesson.

A verdant youth from Lincoln county
paid our prosperous city a visit on
Thursday last, and being DESTROYS OF
seeing how large the Memphis elephant
was, started out accordingly. Before
leaving his hotel he was, as he thought,
fortunate enough to make the acquaint-
ance of II of those =" nice young men u
who abound so beautifully around the
principal hotels in the city. The "nice
young man" was very accommodating,
was out on a little trip himself,
had plenty of time ON his hands,
and being DESTROYS of seeing the
sights himself, would accompany
Mr.. Verdant during his peregrina-
tons. After visiting some of the prin-
cipal places of which Memphis possesses
not a few, the ''nice young man. whose
linen was spotless, and the cut of whose
coat was perfection itself, introduced our
friend from the country to that pleasant
and interesting little game known as
rouge ct nOir. Our friend would bet;
why, of course he would; merely pas
time, you know; must win; no danger
of losing. But, contrary to Mr.. Yer
dant'S soft expectations, in an incredibly
short space of time he found himself
minus forty dollars of good and lawful
money of the United States. Ultimate
ly seeing that he had been "ropedp by
the nice yOungman, Mr.. Verdant makes
complaint to Chief Athy, who immedi-
ately caused the 'nice young mann and
his partner TO disgorge, and return the
money to u verdant friend. who de-
parted a wiser and happier man.

A o
Why Have We Not a Record Of Births
and Deaths ?-SOme Sensible Sugges-
tiOns on the Matter.

We are in receipt of 8 correspondence
which certainly contains many sugges-
tions on the above subject, which are
worthy of the attention of our readers.
1t would seem, to even the most SUI
perficial observer, that a city with the
same metropolitan pretensiOns as Mem
phis should have some statistics of the
birth and death data, especially Of the
latter, which may easily be kept, at a
very small expense, and without Gre
ating any new Office.
The advantage of such tables, if prop
erly kept, will Immediately appear to
every intelligent mind. Say that some
one of the present city officers, the Re-
cordeT for instance, be required to keep
a book, properly ruled, stating name,
age, nativity and occupation, cause of
death, etc, which information can read
lily be furnished by the undertaken, with
the physicians certificate; and the said
officer should then issue a certificate,
and this shall be the only lawful au-
thority under which an undertaken or
the cemetery authorities shall be per-
mitted to inter any one.
This would bring the whole business
through one office, and the certificate
could be issued at a trifling expense, say
twenty-five cents. And in the matter
of births a similar book might be kept,
and an ordinance passed making it the
duty of the attending physician to report
such birth, with name and parentage of
child, within one month after birth.
This is done in many countries, and a
penalty imposed for neglect.
These are merely the outlines of the
scheme suggested by our correspondent.
We trust u city fathers will give this
matter their earliest attention, and
bring up TINS or some such simple plan,
so that it may be no additional burden
on our people, and yet a benefit to the
community at large.

One OF the carrier-bOys, annoyed each
morning by a dirty, snarling dog on his
route, bought a half interest in the brute
and then shot his half. This reminds us
OF Senator Alcorn's investment in a
Methodist or Presby aerian church in the
days OF his early manhood. One-third
OF che cost of the church was borne by
Alcorn. His father and mother then
lived with Alcorn, and they were Bap-
lists. A Baptist preacher came along
Ii spent a day at AlcOrn's hospitable
home. The pulpit of the neighboring
church was ~unOccupied on Sunday, and
Alcorn, TO crafty his parents, induced
the preacher to agree to fill it. Alcorn
advertised the fact. At ten o'clock Sun
day morning the other people methodist
OF Presbyterlans), who held the
church, met and declared that no
Baptist should enter their pulpit.
1t was against the rules of these
christians. Alcorn, with his Bap-
list brother, came laundering in with
most of the people of the vicinity, white
and black, a great %cOncOurse. He was
informed of the decree of the church.

AIcOrn grew ashy-an ashen pallOr over
spread his face and his black eyes blazed
Economically. He rose to his feet and
said:
Gentlemen, 1 would like for some
one of you to tell me how much of the
whole original cost of this edifice was
paid by me-"
An aged brother announced that the
" Kernel had paid one-third of the
whole, but the majority Eules."
"Then," said Alcorn, "though [ I'M
not much of a secessionist, Phi practice
the doctrine just now"
He sent for the negro men son
his plantation hard by, for a cross
cut saw and wagons and teams.
He proceeded, ID the amazement
of the multitude, to measure the
wooden building, and marking off one
third Of the whole structure, he had it
sawed out and hauled away. In unutter-
able amazement, and in absolute horror
and dismay, the queer old deacons and
class-leaders, and good old country peo-
pie, contemplated this fearful Sundays
