At the election for delegates, on the
18th instant, to the Conservative Con-
vention, it would be well for the judges
of each ward to be provided with the
registration books gotten out at the last
municipal election, SO as to defeat any
effort to repeat votes. These books are
in the hands of the City Comptroller,
and the names are arranged in alpha
betical order. The Mayor, who is sup
posed to be in favor of the Bartlett
movement, will not refuse lending the
books to the white people Of Memphis in
order to defeat Radicalism.
Chief Of Police Athy yesterday recon-
mended to the General Council that the
Offices of Captains Of Police be abol'
ished, thereby saving the city thirty-six
hundred dollars per annum. There are
already seven officers over sixty men
one chief, two captains and two SER
geants. By dispensing with the cap
tains the two sergeants could attend to
all the duties, and the Chief could have
supervision of the Adams street station
house, which is within few yards of his
Office. The Board Of Aldermen passed
the ordinance on its first, second and
final reading, and it passed the first
reading in the Council. The Mayor ad-
vocates retrenchment, and this ordi-
nahce should become law at the next
regular meeting.
