was before Judge Johnston, yesterday,
charged with having put some one in

NEW YORK.

New YORK, December 1.-The prepar-
atoms for the reception OF Minister
WashbUrne at the Union League Club
Wednesday evening is entirely complete.
The affair will be the most brilliant ever
witnessed in New York, not excepting
the reception given to President Grant
by the same club at its old quarters in
Union Square. The President will at
tend, unless some unforeseen event shall
make it improbable. Two or three Cab
met officers will be present. General
Sherman and staff is expected. Gov.
Jewell, of Connecticut, with staff, in
uniform, will come; Governor Wash
burne, of Massachusetts; Governor Pad
dleford, Of Rhode Island; Governor
Geary, of Pennsylvania; General
Mcdowell and staff, General Schaler
and STAFF, Admiral Porter and staff,
Generals Cullum, Wright, Ingalls,, Bar
nard, Marcy, Barnes and several others
are expected. VIM. N. Evarts will pre-
side. Nearly one thousand invitations
have been issued to prominent mer-
chants and business men. Minister
Washburne is registered at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
Editorially commenting on the proper
course for the electoral college to pur-
sue under the existing circumstances,
the Herald says, Nov, as the electors
by the Constitution are left perfectly
free to vote for whom they please for
President, and as there Is no provision
for case like this Of Greeley deoesss,
the question recurs, for whom are those
electors to vote who have been chosen
in the name Of Greeley and representing
the electoral vote Of the States of Mary
laEd, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Missouri and Texas2 With a proper re-
gard for the will of the people, they
should, Greeley icing dead, vote for the
next highest candidate In the popular
vote for each of these States, and Gen.
eral Grant is the man; they cannot
vote for dead man and they cannot
properly vote a blank they cannot
change the result 6y voting for some
new man, and they may very materially
modify the policy of the President in
many things in electihg him for the
second tern w g unanimous vote of the
electoral college
The World, on the other hand, says

Sere instructed to vote for Brown for
Vice FreSdest, and they we're bound to
obey that instruction 70 the isear. They
were also instructed to vote for Greeley

HORACE GREEIEY's CAREER.

Much will be said and written for a
decade of the character and incidents of
Horace Greeley's life and It's influence
upon the important issues which have
agitated the country within the last
thirty or forty years. The following bio
graphical points gathered from such
sources as are at hand will be read at

HORACE GREELEY.
Funeral TO Take Place Wednesday
Morning.


New YORK, December 2.-The re-
mains of Hon. Horace Greeley are lying
at the house of Samuel Sinclair, Forty
fifth street. A large number of people
besieged the house all day yesterday,
expecting the body to be laid in state,
but none were admitted save few init
mate friends and relatives. The remains
of the dead philosopher rest in a black
cloth casket in the rear parlor, with a
temple Of white flowers at the head and
a howery testimonial of loving hands
scattered over the pale face, which
looked as noble and gentle as in lie; the
eyes were closed as calmly and the lines
about the mouth were drawn as peace
fully as in sleep; the broad forehead was
as smooth and placid as in the most
pleasant days of his life, and the general
contour of his face, as yet unpinched by
the chill hand of death, retained the
look of benevolent and childish inno-
cence that had become its famous char
acteristic. The coffin is of solid chest
nut wood, covered with black cloth.
The trustees Of the Tribune have ar
ranged for the funeral to take place on
Wednesday, at IL o'clock, from the
church of Rev. Mr.. Chaplin, on Fifth
avenue, corner of Forty-fifth street. No
special invitations viii be sent out, but
it is known that organizations Of various
kinds are taking formal steps for attend
ing in body. The remains will lie in
state throughout tomorrow at such place
as shall be announced in tomorrow
papers.
In all the churches yesterday clergy
men, without distinction of denomina-
ton, paid touching and well-deseryed
tributes to Mr.. Greeley's memory.

SAVED THROUGH FIRE.
Reflects of the Boston Calamity
Exposed I'm Memphis.

1t is an old saying that ut is an i'll
wind that blows nobody good" A few
days ago wall went up from the great
city Of Boston, and the world stood
amazed at the great conhagration which
at one time threatened to wipe from the
face Of the earth "the Hub of the Uni
verse" But fortunately the fire was
quenched and a large amount OF goods
Of various descriptions was saved. These
goods, some Of which we're only slightly
damaged, we're to be sold, Of course, at
a sacrifice. Lou Leubrie, the enterpris-
ing wide-awake proprietor Of the Ex-
position and Dollar Store, saw an oppor-
tunity here Of bene6tting his patrons by
offering them at reduced prices a
large lot Of fancy goods, notions,
toys and holiday goods of every variety
and description. With Leubrie, to see is
to act, and accordingly within only
few days after the great holocaust he
had rented, furnished, htted and opened
the large and commodious establish
ment, No. 267 Main street, opposite
Court Square, With q full and complete
stock Of goods saved from the Boston
Gre. These articles having been pur-
chased at sacrifice, can very naturally
be sold at prices tho most reasonable,
and thus 1t will be seen that to some ex-
tent the Boston FIRE has benefited Mem
phis by furnishing our people variety
Of goods such as they need at much
lower price than they could otherwise
have been had. Leubrie's stock Of goods
embraces q variety Of articles too hume
yogs 10 laentioh, al Of which can be
seen at the new store, No. 267 Main

rrpps-A rEssoS.

Some days ago we alludedto TINS as a
season of fires, and warned the public
to be on the alert, and urged the neces-
sity of taking strict precautions. Little
doubt remains that we have ineendiaries
in our midst who have taken advantage
of the emergencies Of the times to ply
their fiendish vocation for the purpose
of enriching themselves, either directly
or indirectly. Last night an effort was
made unquestionably to burn the cheap
block of buildings on the corner OF
Union and Second streets, occupied and
known as the court house. This is not
the first nor even the second time that
such diabolical attempt has been made.
This time it came nearer than ever
being success. The ground floor
of the building is rented out for
stores; one is feed store, almost
as combustible as loose cotton another
is an oil and paint store; the next a mat
tress mandatory, and so on. The in
eendiaries selected Sunday night, the
most quiet of the week, and fred the oil
and paint store so successfully that its
contents were entirely destroyed; and
being directly under the Office of the
County Court Clerk, the flames assembled
through the ceiling and made havoc With
all the loose books, papers, furniture,
memoranda, ETC., that happened to be in
the Office. The records in the vault es-
capped; but if the fire had not been ar
rested by the almost superhuman efforts
of our gallant fremen, all would have
been lost Such calamity would be APP
palling, and could not be computed in
dollars and cents. There is nothing fire.
proof about the building, except, perhaps,
a few of the safes which, however, are not
available for the larger books and most
important records Of Shelby county.
We boast Of this as commercial me-
tropolis aud rich county, yet do not own
a court house Of any description, and
only rent some buildings that would not
be used for such purpose in the poor
est counties Of the State. This is a
serious question. and one to which We
hope the attention Of the community
viii be directed. II is high time TO con-
s;dar whether We can better afford to
loss the titles 10 millions worth Of prop /
ersr ii fhe registers and records Of
four courts. four Tax Collectors Offices,
the County Clerks Office, Trustee, Sur
veyor and Coroner, or spend few thou
sands On q building for the purpose,
which shall contain hre-proof vaults and
other features Of court house becoming
as great and rich a county as Shelby.
There is no economy in parsimony, and
no one can say that this county is una
be to build substantial court house.
And when It il built, let it be owned by
,he county and used as such like the one
at Nashville or Louisville, and not rented
ont as a powder magazine or depot for
nitro-glycerine. The people of the com
munity may thank the FIRE department
and a few bold volunteers for the fact
that the socalled court house is stand
ing to-day. The urgent necessity for
new structure, to be really the court
house Of Shelby county, is a subject
worthy of immediate consideration; and
we promise to elaborate upon it some
