The billiardistic business has opened
up with renewed vigor since the cool
evenings set in. Knights Of the cue can
be seen each night crawling and crsniug
over tables in search ofimaginary earoms
that cannot possibly be made; but the
devoted billiardist keeps on crawling
over the table until his eyes pop out Of
his head and he makes the stroke-re-
sulting in a miss cue and sudden ex-
animation of the tip; and then cursiug
the cue and the chalk, the expert sends
out for another drink in order to steady
his nerves.

MEMPHIS THEATER. The dramatic
season was opened last night by the
Stetson Combination in Fosters sensa-
tional drama entitled Neck and Neck.
The theater itself presented an attrac.
tive appearance. it having undergone
many judicious and necessary improve
ments well calculated to make it COM
Portable for our theater- goers during the
season. The play presented last night,
Neck and Neck, is Of the highly sensa.
tional order, full Of thrilling acts, scenes
and situations, introducing railroad
trains, "hangings and other things

terest The drama was well presented
by the company, each part being
most creditably filed, which showed
careful selection of the cast.
The theater was well patronized,
and the audience seemed well pleased
with the entertainment. Tonight Neck
and Neck will be repeated, and to-mor-
row evening Griffith Gaunt will be the
attraction. This latter play has become
exceedingly popular since the Beecher-
Tilton scandal became public, the

disclosed to Mrs. Tilton counterpart
OF herself, which caused her to indite
several famous society letters. Griffith
Gaunt will no doubt attract large
audiences. The management is ably

Treasurer Brooks, and these gentlemen
can congratulate themselves on the
opening night, which gave promise Of

attractions but in pecuniary point of
view.

speech which began but On account of
interruptions did not finish. stated dis
inctly, that wc did not desire any special
privileges as colored men but that We wanted
all the rights enjoyed by white men.
Nothing more nor nothing less. We fully
expect the resistlcss Republican majority
which came into Congress, on the Philadel-
phia Platform, to redeem the pledges On
which they were elected, now while they have
ample power. If any representative, were
,nservativo and tmid that the party t.
which he belongs, has lingering doubts as to
the power Of Congress, let him remember
that the party is unanimous for the measure.
Let him trust, rather, to the wisdom OF the
people than to his own doubt. The unani-
nous judgment of the Republican party eau
hardly be wrong. But if Equalityis uncon
st!tutional in this Republic, let us know il
and then amend the constitution. Let NJ
man fear, that which is right will BIT
popular. Wo feel assured that the 43ro
Congress will not adjourn without laying the
pyramid Of equal rights, built up by the Re-
publican party, and standing upon its sum,
NIT we too may see the sun of liberty in
all its glory, and in the fulness thereof, forget
the wrongs inflicted, and the rights so long
denied US.
