Important Arrest.

Some days since c. P. Hayden, alias
Irish Charley, was arrested by Detective
Cranmer on the charge of killing a man
in Corsicanna, Texas, Since Hayden
has been in jail he has given The infOr-
nation that the man who had him ar
rested, Bill Nolan, committed the muir
der and robbed the dead man Of $1,000
Nolan was arrested, but regarded the
matter as joke Chief Of Police Athy
has telsgraphed to Texas for the partic-
ulars. Il seems improbable that the
murderer would have another man ar
rested for the crime and then remain in
the city as Nolan has done. The con-
fessions of jail birds must be taken with
many grains of allowance, they being on
general principles wholly unrehable.

The merchants tax cases we're argued
before Judge c. W. Heiskell, Of the First
Circuit Court, yesterday, and after
consideration by the Court of the facts
and law presented, the petitions for GER
tiorari were dismissed, and the superse-
IDEAS restraining the tax collector from
collecting the taxes was discharged and
costs adjudged against the petitioners.
Judge Heiskell's action was based on the
hate decision of the Supreme Court adj
vers to the merchants. Judge Elicit APP
peared for the merchants. The State
and Tax Collector Mathes were repre-
scented by Governor Harris, Messrs. Jar
nigan and Ffayser. Tomorrow the Tax
Collector will publish notification to
the merchants to appear at his Office
and settle up back taxes. The matter
may be regarded as finally settled for all
intents and purposes.

The cases on hearing before Judge
Heiskell, of the First Circuit Court,
wherein the butchers applied for rule
to restrain the city from closing up their
shops, and combining the selling of meat
to the market stalls, was decided this

the city had the legal right to enforce
such an ordinance, and having this right,
it had the further authority to suspend
the operation of the ordinance, on the
payment Of penalty BY the butchers.

The Judgment for $685. 1888 obtained
by Brown a. Co., contractors, against
the city, in the United States District
Court, and which judgment the plain
tiffs invite the city to pay instanter, has
been appealed from to the Supreme
Court by the city, the able counsel en-
gagged in the cause believing that the
judgment will not be sustained by the
tribunal Of last resort. The numerous
reversals BY the Supreme Court Of de-
cisions made by Circuit and District
Court judges, prove that the latter are
not always infallible, to which rule
Judge Emmons may be. no exception.
The levy made on city property, noticed
in the morning papers some days since,

An Act to exempt from execution and attach

SECTION /. Be it enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Tennessee,
That all the property, whether real or

municipal corporations in this State for
public purposes, such as public squares,
public parks, water-works, fire engines,
lots, houses, horses and carts for the use
of the fire companies, and for the use Of
the corporation, and which are necessary
FLOR the convenience and use of the pub
lie, shall be exempt from attachment or
sale by execution or other legal process
Passed July Z, 1870. Approved July 8,

deem it advisable to make a fair offer Of
settlement to the city, the Mayor and
legal advisers will, no doubt, consider
the matter from basis Of settlement.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-A crowded and
fashionable house greeted Mr.. Sothern
last evening The popularity of his
great specially, Lord Dundreary," has
been rapidly increasing during the week.
Mr.. Sothern's makeup, tone of voice,
gestures, facial expression, stage play
and finished style of acting cannot be ex-
celled. His Dundreary" is as perfect
piece of acting as the Rip Van Win
kle" OF Jefferson. Last night the audi
ence laughed from the time the curtain
rose until il fell they laughed on their
way home, and on all sides could be
heard the odd expressions about other
fellahs" and mothers-in.law, Brother
Sam letter and other comical sayings
OF the Dundreary school. Those who
have seen the London swells regard Mr..
Sothern's characterization as true to
life. Indeed, we have t.Dundreary" in
American life, not so odd or inane as his
London model, but equally as silly and
ridiculous. American society is full of
bores and nonentities, swells and tops.
Tonight Robertson's celebrated comedy,
entitled David Garrick, will be pre-
scented, in which Mr.. Sothern will appear
in the title role, and Mr.. Bishop as
"Simon Ingot." The comedy will con-
clude with Byron's absurdity, entitled
Dundreary Married and Settled. This
great attraction will fill the theater from
pit to dome this evening. Tomorrow
will be held Dundreary matinee, and
tomorrow night Mr.. Sothern will bid us
farewell in David Garrick.
