| GreenIaw's troupe from the Memphis Thea
ire, performed in this city on
| Monday night. Their coming was not pro-
/ perly heralded, and hence the audience was
I not large. David GarriclI," a comedy Of
worldwide Tenown, was rendered with eX-
cellent taste. Mr.. Frank Evans, and Miss
Ada Gilman were the leading cards. Their
renditIons won universal applause. The
entire troupe were excellent in all their parts
No exhibition OF equal merit was ever given
in Jackson, and We announce with pleasure
that they will visit our city again at an
early day. We never met a more courteous
gentleman than Mr.. LefingWcll, and we
would be happy % see hin. again in our city.
When this superb troupe return 10 our city
we feel authorized in guaranteeing crowded
houses to greet them.

THOSE MARAUDERs.-The Grand jury,
we learn, is doing its utmost 10 unmask the
marauders, who, for weeks have produced
u reign CT terror in the Northern portion Of
this county. We hope their efforts Will be
crowned with success, but our faith is
weak. our laws are strong enough TO the
ear, but they are evidently weak when it
comes to a vigorous execution under trying /
circumstances. The Williams who Brutality /
murdered that old negroes on D.bcTry's I
farm, should be brought 20 justice. The /
question l., will they be: Will the proper /
efforts be made 10 uncarth thcmg Law is a /
cruel mockcry, unless il is powerful 20 pro.
tect the weak and innocent; 10 guarantee
peace and security to society. VIII thc cx-
ccutors OF the law in Madison county prove
themselves equal to the emergency: We
await the issue with intense solicitudc.
