ADJUSTMENTS.
The Theaaer.

There was an immense audience at
the Theater last night, the occasion
of Mr..Owens's benefit, when the bill
was The Poor Gentleman and Scion
ShiRgLe. We need hardly say the great
comedian was thoroughly well sustained
by the company, and that he himself,
under the stimulus of so many of his
admirers, shot ahead of himself, and
strengthened the already very ia
favorable verdict of the Memphis
people. To-day, at the matinee,
he will appear in The Victims and Rough
Diamond, and tonight in Married Life
and Forty Wjylks. At the matinee he
will of course have a full house, for
he is decided favorite with the ladies,
and we hope the same may be said of
tonight. He deserves an extraordinary
effort by his friends, and we thus hope
win be made to feel that he is nowhere
more welcome than in Memphis.
McEvoy's HIDernfeoa.
There was another good attendance at
Assembly hall last night TO enjoy the
entertainment by MacEvoy's NelG HI
6eT7ljcOn and comedy troupe. The in
terest aroused by this Hi6eTRicOn, which
embraces over fifty magnificent panO-
ramas, can only be understood by those
who are so fortunate as to attend the
nightly exhibitions, which will continue
during the present week. The principal
cities, most lovely scenery, and historic
places of the Emerald isle are faithfully
illustrated by this HI6eTRic0p, and are
pleasantly explained by the lecturer. As
an entertainment it is both delightful
and instructive. Another good house
will be present tonight.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

At Cincinnati, yesterday, the pre-
liminaries were taken toward tire form
alton of "WOman's temperance
league"
The druggists and salOon.keepers of
Parsons, Kansas, have received nOtifica-
tions, and q procession OF singers and
prayers is threatened.
At Ripley, Ohio (where the movement
was first inaugurated), the work still
goes on, and in the neighbOring villages
where some of the,stimulant dispensers
continue TO hold out against the cru
saders.
Madison, Indiana, is in possession of
the crusaders, and intense excitement
prevails. The ladies yesterday called
upon the county commissioners, and
prevented the issue of permits to sell
liquors.
Mayor Stockton, of Philadelphia, is
daily entreated in regard to the enforce
ment of the Sunday laws, and he yes
terday replied that he would follow
whatever rule was laid down by the
court of quarter sessions.
A mass-meeting of the friends of the
movement was held in Indianapolis, In
diana, yesterday, at which it was re-
solved to keep the ball in motion until
"the last armed foe expired" 1t was
also resolved to find out why certain
liquor-restrictions were not enforced.
At BeIlefontaine, Ohio, the efforts of
the crusaders were rewarded by the
surrender of one liquor-seller, and an
other closed doors. Only six places, out
of twelve, remain open in this place.
One of the vanquished has turned lee
turer in the interest of the movement.
Salary not stated.
In New York the friends of the move
ment are going at the work more system
atically, and organizations are form
ing and meetings are held, at which
temperance reforms are thoroughly ven-
tilated, and speech-making and re-
solves are expected to accomplish what
in the west has baffled more practical
efforts. The clergy have the matter in
hand in New York.
The saloonists at Dayton, Ohio, said
to number over three hundred, are
rather obstinate, and the proceedings
yesterday furnished abundant material
for the press reporters. One saloon
keeper, on being approached by a COM
mittee of ladies, and implored to give
up his unholy calling, replied that he
would do no such thing; that he had
always kept decent, quiet place, until
the women began raising disturbance
about his premises.

HORSE TALK.
Wagers for the Coming SeasOn-English
Racers and Racing.

The New York Herald states that the
following large amounts have been
wagered on the coming fixed events:
In the Withers stakes, SO, 900 to $1,000
against Vaultress, taken; $4,000 to $1,000
against King Pin, taken; $4,000 to
$l42S against Beatrice, taken; $4,000 to
$142S against Astral, taken; $4,000 to
S142S against Grinstead, taken.
In the Belmont stakes, $4,000 to $1,000

Washington, taken; $4,000 to $1,000

r. ]. Anderson sold his fast trotting
mare, Lady Knox, to q Philadelphia
gentleman, few days since, for five
thousand dollars.
Messrs. Hetfield q Jackson, of Rah-
way, New Jersey, sold a sulky to the
owner of the trotting gelding Hopeful,
with the understanding that should the
horse trot mile in two minutes and
twenty seconds before the end OF the
next trotting season, it is not to be paid
for. The owners of Hopeful, it is said,
also offered to bet one thousand dollars
against four thousand, that the horse
will trot mile in two minutes and
twenty seconds before the end OF the
season. This is the trotter, it will be
remembered, that was pulled at Pros
pect-park fairgrounds last summer, and
whose o vner and driver were ruled off
every national association track in the
country for their bad behavior. The
horse was also ruled off at the time, but,
by the admission of lawyers into the
board of appeals, wrong was made
right, and the horse reinstated.
The following notice appears In the
English Racing CdIeqadar: "By direc-
ton Of her majesty's master of the
horse, the three queens plates at New
market, now run for separately, will
this year be amalgamated in one plate
of three hundred guineas, and will be
runfor in the second October meeting,
the last two miles of the Cesarwitch
course, at the usual queens plate
weights"
We have q highly interesting letter
from the London Times on turf pros
poets in England, in which the admiral
strongly advocates early training and
two-year-Old racing, and scouts the idea
of the deterioration of the thoroughbred
horse. He asserts that there are now in
England two thousand more horses run
ming long distances and carrying heavy
weights than there were twenty years
ago, and that the present system of ear
ly training is the only way OF getting
rid of worthless and maturing strong
and enduring English race-horses.

Carpenters Louisians Bill.
In the Senate on the 18th inst. :

Senator Carpenter being entitled to the
floor, to call up his Louisiana bill, gave
way for short time that the bill to pro-
vide for the incorporation and regulation
Of railroad companies in the territories
of the United States might be actel upon.
Pending the discussion of this amend
ment, Senator Carpenter asked that his
Louisiana bill be made the special order
for to morrow, after the expiration OF
the morning hour.
Senator Sherman said be was opposed
to taking up the bill and hoped the sense
of the Senate would be taken as to wheth
er it should be considered or not He
thought the Senate should devote its
time 10 other matters more important
Senator Carpenter said the Senator
from New Jersey FreliRghuysen was
prepared to speak on the bill and II
should be taken up; however, if a ma
jority OF the Senators were determined
to stand by the Kellogg government,
right or wrong, he admitted it would be
bad policy to have any debates on the
subject The Senator from Ohio Sher
man had come here with several linan
cial conundrums, which had occupied the
Senate four months. The Senate would
have been astonished il some Senator had
expressed desire to dispose the meas
ures without debate
Senator Sherman said there were many
bills on the calendar, and he was opposed
to laying aside practical legislation to
take up this bill 1t would do the people
OF Louisiana no good. and he would
therefore insist upon the consideration
of matters more important
Senator Carpenter said it was matter
Of importance. when the State had been
usurped, and its government held by
usurpers and the decree Of Federal
court He was astonshed at the indif-
ference manifested by Senators on this
subject. If the Republican party refuses
to interfere when its usurpers hold a
State by the throat, it could not interfere
in any similar case where the usurpcrs
m ght be Democrats. He was in New
Orleans last May, when there was great
excitement there, and in the public street
he pledged himself to the people that If
they would stop their violence and sub
NIT to the kellogg government, he would
do what he could to present their case to
Congress. They had kept their part of
the contract and he proposed to keep his.
A good deal of sparring here took
place between Senators Carpenter, Sher-
man, Morton, Salisbury and West. Sen
ators Sherman and Morton claiming that
the people of Louisiana acquiesced in the
Kellogg government, and Senators Sauls.
bury and Carpenter contended that the
people did not indorse the Kellog gov
ernment, and if the troops were remov, d
from the State, and the people left to act
for themselves, the Kellog government
would not exist a month. Adjourned.

THE DEMOCRACY.
Random Comments of Radical Con.
grcssmen on the Recent Elections.

Washington Dispatcn.l
The news of the Connecticut Election
is still the subject Of angry or placid con
versation as the case may be. At a little
pains to reduce some Of the expressions
into brcvity, few are telegraphed by
way of Information:
Said Bu,er-"I was democrat once
knew all their secrets, had heap OF faitl
in the party, and will tell You, Dawes.
addressing the speaker confdentially
that when you aud are dead and gone
there'll be democratic party as sure as
h-ll. 1t can't be killed. It's natural
party
Said Chandler, who when halt drunk
was asked by Logan what he thought Of
the Connecticut Election. Think ?
was the reply, "think. why, that Buck
ingham is dead sure to lose his head
Said Brownlow-" It's same inferna
party of treason and slavery-of th'
blood Of loyal men and the misfortune'
of the nation. 1t looks, indeed, as i
it were coming back into power again"
Said Conkling-" believe we have
had too much of reconstruction.
Said Fenton--" Yes, and Of Jayne ant
Sanborn. New York is crazy over thu
wholesale robbery of her merchants ant
best business men,"
Said Morton" Connecticut was never
reliable. A yankee once democrat il
always democrat. The seat of politi
cal power is about to he transferred to
the west
Said Carpenter" The load that the
republican party has to carry in Tho
shape of South Carolina and Louisiana
together with the wholesale plunderins
of the States once in rebellion. would de
stroy even system Of government al
strong as that of Prussia"
I might fill a column with sententiou'
utterancos like these, but enough has
been repeated to give an idea OF the ef
feet Of the election in Connecticut.
