THE CITY.
M EMP HIS:
Saturday Evening. Feb. Fl, 1874


Fifty misdemeanor cases appeared on
the Recorders docket this morning, and
$685. were collected in the way of fines.
John Crawford, arrested for robbery,
was committed without bail.
Robert Peplow, charged with larceny,
was placed under $4,000 bond.
Twenty.eight social evilites were ar
rested at different houses late last night,
and were compelled to 60 to the station
house, where forfeit of $40 was taken
from each. This morning they failed to
appear and the $3.50 passed into the
city treasury. The sum collected from
these unfortunates within the last few
days amounts to over $500. What to
do with the money is the question, as
certainly no gentleman connected with
the city government would receive the
direct wages of sin as salary and pur-
chase bread for his family Herewith.
The subject of raiding on these people
and collecting the money so earned by
prostitution deserves the attention of the
General Council. 1t is social problem
difficult to solve ina moral manner.

MEMPHIS THEATER. = Last evening
Julius Caesar was presented by the Bar

rett appeared as "Cassius," and gave a

members of his company, especially by
Messrs. Lang, Morton, Meredith, Mrs.
Preston and Miss Hawthorne. This has

ness had this season, the Barrett party
presenting a round Of standard attrac-
tons. AT the matinee to-day that beau
tiful play, Rosedale, will be the attrac.
ton, and tonight Richard Ill will close
the engagement.
Mrs. CHANFRAU.-Next Monday even.
ing Mrs. Chanfrau will commence an
engagement at the theater in oensa.
tional play entitled "a Woman s
Wrong" The plot of the play is with
reference to the English law which gives
the father the right to the custody of his
minor children, to the exclusion of the
rights Of the mother, which law exists in
many of the States of this Union. The
play is highly sensational, and is full Of
dramatic and highly wrought scenes.
HUMPTY DUMPTY.-There was a fair
attendance, considering the bad weather
and sloppy streets, at the Opera House
last night to witness the performance of
Humpty Dumpty by the Fox & Denier
pantomire troupe. The audience was
delighted at the many funny tricks ex-
hibited, and testified their appreciation
by hearty laughter. The dancing was
all good, especially that of the little
twin sisters. The CONTEMPLATING, by
little boy FIVE years old, was so well exc
cuted that he was recalled by an encore.
This troupe gives matinee this after
noon at two o'clock for the benefit Of
ladies and children, and we expect to
see the house full of little folks, who
can heartily enjoy the fun and merri-
ment of the performance. Tonight
closes the stay of this good troupe in
Memphis and those who have failed to
attend any performance this week should
be on hand for good laugh.
WHITES OPERA HOUSE. = Manager
White has brought out twenty splendid
stars, who appear nightly at his Jeffer-
son street Opera House. The pro-
gramme of entertainment consists of
vocal and instrumental music, fancy
and clog dancing, specially acts, COM
edies, etc. Strangers visiting the city
will find Whites Opera House pleas
ant place to while away few hours.

There is no doubt about this being a
mereenary world. A pretty and por-
tionless girl is considered merely as a
pretty girl, but let her be the possessor,
or expected inheritor of wealth, and she
becomes as beautiful as the morning"
Now how many more pretty girls at
present will become beautiful as the
morning when they, or their fathers, or
mothers, or lovers draw the grand cash
gifts of the next drawing of the Public
Library of Kentucky. Truly the 3lst of

Tax Upon Lawyers.

The Supreme Court has under advise
ment the constitutionality of the tax
upon lawyers. A test case is before the
Supreme Court at Nashville, Knoxville
and jackson, brought up from the Cir
cult Courts, where the cases we're gener-
ally decided against the powers of the
Legislature to tax the avocation of the
lawyer. These cases have been elabor-
ately argued at each of these points
but the Judges are equally divided in
opinion, and it is not likely that the
Court can agree upon the question until
it is reduced to FIVE Judges-the number
fixed by the constitution after the hrst
vacancy.
