The death OF ex-President Fillmore and the
closing of the different departments or the gov
eminent to- morrow has occasioned some spec
ulstion among the clerks as to the number of
prospective holidays they will have on account
Of the death of ex-cabinet officers. The clerks
Of the Department OF Justice lay claim in ad-
vance to more holidays Of this character than
any other department, becaise Of the compar-
atiyely large number Of ex-Attorney Generals
now living.

1t is very gratifying to be able to pub
lish the following deserved and compli-
mentary preamble and resolution, passed
at meeting of the Life Underwriters
Association yesterday, when the resigna-
ton of Major J. B. Oliver was presented
and regretfully accepted:
Whereas, Major J. B. Oliver, who has
taken very lively interest in our or
ganization from its start, has rendered
his resignation, for reason stated,
Resolved, That we accept the same
with sincere regret. In him we have
found the highest type of an accom-
plished gentleman, an honorable and
useful underwater and a genial com
panion Having proven himself an
acquisition to our profession in Mem
phis, we cordially commend him to the
profession everywhere, as an under
writer who win dignity and grace any
position; and to the general public we
indorse him as a polished Christian gen.
tleman, worthy Of their highest conf
dence and esteem.

DRIFTINGs ADRIFT.

DEAR Misunderstanding that few
Ledger Lines may not come amiss
from up the creek, yours, occasional
iy has presumed to drop you one. The
pocket edition of Robert Fulton-the
fleet, prompt and invincible Frank For
est, with her courteous o. X. Joplin,
made her up trip to Ashport. Owing to
the bad weather, with an incessant high
water from above and the same under
decks, with dark nights, she returned on
time with slim manifest and a mod
crate share Of cabin folks. The writer,
prompted by a wish-not a puff-is
merely TO write facts and not faneies.
The waysiders look for the Frank For
est as the waysiders by rail look for the
iron horse and his train. Her whistle is
as familiar in every bend place or point
from your wharf to Fulton as the old
watch dogs bark at home or the whip
poorwill at nightfall. She notes her
coming, and comes when she says. She
never carried an anchor" gold emblem
of hope, nor left white rag when
waved forlorn upon the shore. A child,
with one hand holding the apron strings
of its mother, can with the other hail
the little coaster. We saw a canine on
one occasion at the Devils Elbow run
ming at full speed to the rivers bank
with flag of truce tied to his narrative.
The Frank " took it for hail, landed,
took in the truce and liberated the off
spring Of poor old Tray.
Joplin is on deck and the Rhodes are
in Office; they play season engagement
as long as a cotton bale awaits a bill
of lading, or a passenger wants to at
tend a Bourbon feminine prayer meet
ing in Memphis.
The Frank Forest has weathered the
seasons, and her past is her only
voucher-indemnity for the past, secur-
ity for the future She is all 0. X. with
herself and her patrons, and is billed for
"a, with new boat to spring from
her ashes under the same auspices.
Memphis should extend helping hand
to sustain boat in this trade Her or
ders are promptly delivered and returns
always landed. With 0. X. Joplin, the
young Neptune, on deck. j. W. and D.
c. Rhodes in the office, La Rue in the
forecastle, and Wesley Ware (colored)
in charge of her table de hote, the up
ward bound will not regret registration.
Among her passengers to port were:
Drs. F. G. McGavock and Joe Lynch,
of Shawnee Village; Isaac Saffarans,
Miss Annie Pickett, DR.. Jack Williams,
and Ebert W. Massey, of the See
Across plantation.
The Forest walks out from Union
street at FIVE p. m, feeding like market
house ard running 2:9O gin time and
tide to win. Yours, hurriedly,

The Supreme Court Of the United
States Atfirms the Emmon'S
Judgment in the NicOlsOn
Pavement Case.
Judgment Given on Monday Last for
Four Hundred and Ten Thousand
Six Hundred and Sixteen Doll
lars and Twenty. six Cents.

1t will be remembered that some
months since T. E. Brown q Co., Nicol-
son pavement contractors, obtained a
judgment against the city of Memphis
for four hundred and eighty-odd thousand
dollars before Judge Emmons, of the
United States Circuit Court. The case
was appealed to the United States Su-
preme Court at Washington, and was
deliberately argued before the full bench,
presided over by Chief Justice Waite,
some weeks since. Messrs. Humes &
Poston, attorneys, received letter from
Washington to-day dated April 9th,
which says: The United States Supreme
Court to-day affirmed the judgment of the
court below in the case of 7. E. Brown
& Co. VS.. the city of Memphis, except
as to the sinking fund damages, com
missions and attorneys fees. Amount
of judgment given, four hun
dred and ten thousand Sin hun
dred and sixteen dollars and tleenty
sir cents, besides costs in all the courts,
which the city is adjudged to pay. This
order was entered of record, and writ
will issue accordingly. 1t will be seen
that the Judgment was reduced some
seventy thousand dollars, which was
worth fighting for on the part of the
city. The judgment will now have to be
paid, unless the Supreme Court can be
induced to take some other legal steps
in the matter. 1t is astonishing that
some news of this judgment did not
arrive by telegraph, or that our city
authorities knew nothing about it up to
to-day, when the judgment was rendered
on Monday last.

The police ordinance which provides
for summer force of 70 men; cutting
down the detective and station-house
forces; that captains, scrgeants and
patrolmen shall be able to read and
write; that the standard hight of patrol
men shall be FIVE feet eight inches, and
that they be of good, moral character,
was referred back to the Ordinance
Committee last night. Every guardian
of the city should be able to read and
write, and should have some moral
character. The idea of Alderman Jack
Walsh, that policeman who could not
read an important written order issued
from headquarters to instruct him in
some duty ought to be kept on the
force, is rather absurd, but Jack is an
inkslinger and knows how useless is
such an accomplishment.

nushpuckany Leree cut.

The officers of the steamer White,
which arrived in port this morning, state
that the great Hushpuckany levee, near
Sunaower landing, was cut by some evil
disposed persons the night before last,
at ten o'clock. The break is about one
hundred yards wide, the river being
within three feet Of the top of the levee.
A volume of water is rolling through,
submerging all plantations back of Aus
tralia aud flowing over plantations in
Bolivar county and on to the Yazoo river.
A large force of men were at work on
the erevasse as the White passed. Great
damage is feared will be the result.
