BssroE, May 27-The inquiry OF
how much whiskey General Grant and
his party drank on the occasion OF his
visit to the Concord and Lexington
Centennials promises to be an interest
| ing and disturbing question. AT
meeting Of the State Temperance ALI
ance, presided over by Ex-Governor
Trask, q Mr.. ii. d. Gushing stirred up
the meeting by offering resolution to
the effect that committee be appoint
ed to ascertain and report whether lid
uors were furnished by the State to its
guests on the occasion of the Lcxing-
ton and Concord Centennial. MIR.
Cushing explained that his reason for
Offering the resolution was the TACT
that the newspapers have published
bill, from the Revere House, giving as
one of the items in the entertainment
of the President and party over S4o0
for wines and cigars, and thought the
matter ought to be inquired into. I.
w. Hodges suggested that 1t might
have been found necessary to purchase
a quart of liquor for bathing purposes
and the rest of the money might nave
been for cigars. If, however, 1t was
found on investigation that the wines
were used as beverage, the state Is
under obligation to pay for them, and
nav could not be collected for them'ln
court. He would throw away the
moral aspects of the case entirely. and
nut it on this plain, simple basis-if
the State or its servants had encouraged
crime. Mr.. Cushing declared that
whenever the Stateor city had refused
to furnish liquors for its guests it had
been raised in the opinion OF the guests
and he called.upon Mr.. Hodges to state
General Sherman's views on the mat
ter. .,,4h
MIR. Hodges thcreupon said that When
General Sherman was entertained by
the city no liquors were furnished, and
there is letter in existence from zen
eral Sherman expressive of his gratin-
@tion at that fact.
Mr., Gushing resumed his remarks by
declaring that he had 1t from the lnu-
mate friends, not the enemies OF Fres.
ident Grant, that there is danger. OF
Grants falling back into the condition
he was in preceding the war, Alter
little more debate the resolution was
adopted, and Messrs, II. ID: Cushing

constituted the committee

TIDE OF CALIFORNIA IMMIGRATION

TIDE OF CALIFORNIA IdMIsEATIoN.-- -
The increasing immigration which com
menced setting into California last year,
both by land and water, continues to
how with redoubled force and volume
this spring. The month of March exhi-
bited the greatest increase as well as the
largest numbers then on record. The
rerurns of April are now at hand, and a
still further augmentation OF both is
shown. From the opening of the Pacific
roads, in 1860, the number of passengers
arriving at San Francisco has increased
from 27,200 in 1S69-70 to GO, 800 in 1S74-75
while the total by rail in that time has
been 240, 800, and the departures lS4, 700
leaving an addition to the population
from this source of LOG, 100 persons. The
arrivals during the past year have been
5000 greater than in 1874, while the
departures were less. last month, how.
ever, 5000 arrived by steamer and over
5000 by rail, while the departures were
but little over 5000, leaving gain OF
over 900 people, which ID by far the
largest on record, while a still greater
increase is looked for this month.
The following are the figures:

MEMPHIS THEATER -To.night the Fur
bish Fifth Avenue Combination will COM
mence an engagement by presenting a
drama translated from the French en-
titled the Two Orphans. The excel.
lence of the Frshish people is we'll
known in this city, where last season
crowded houses witnessed their presen-
tation of Mons, Alphonse. Divorce and
other attractive plays. There is not in
the United States to-day a finer dramatic
combination, and probably there. never
has been for the production Of such plays
as constitute their repertoire. They
have their own stage scenery, and will
therefore have the Two Orphans prop
erlY mounted, aud as to scenic effect
present the piece in the most admirable
style. The only face that will be missed
will be that Of Miss Monk, who is now
attached to another comedy company,
but additions to the party have been
made-MiA Amelia Harris, Messrs. NJ.
W. Lefingwell and Frank Evans. OF
the play an exchange says: The deli
cate acting Of Miss George Langley as
the blind. maiden, wandering in the
streets sightless and helpless, singing her
plaintiye melodies, in search Tor her sis
ter 'Henriette miss Dolly Pike,
forms the central attraction Of the play"
The play itself is a touching story of
Partisan life, and it is pronounced to be
one OF the best French dramas ever pre-
scented in a translated form upon the
American stage. II is unnecessary to
speak of the different members of Mr..
Furbish's company; they are all well
known to Memphis theater-goers as lead
ing actors and actresses. The Two Or
phans is announced for but three nights,
but it is more than likely that it will run
through the week.

are certainly great ,curiosities, and

very rare for such animals to be kept
alive and exhibited in this country. Not
only do we find interest and attraction
in the museum, but delight and pleasure
in the arenic performance Of Robinson's

ON Trial.

In the Criminal Court to-day John P.
Grace was placed on trial for the murder
of Alexander W. Taylor, which took
place on the 4th Of December, 1873, in a
saloon on the corner Of 0verton and
Third streets. Our files of that date
give the following account Of the affair:
Mr.. Taylor kept a grocery store on the
corner of 0verton and Third streets,
which place Grace entered on the night
Of the 4th and asked for a drink Of
whisky on credit. This was refused by
Taylor, who had a long account against
him for unpaid drinks. Grace com
meneed abusing him and Taylor struck
him on the head with q brass faucet.
Grace then left, but soon afterward re-
turned with a friend and renewed the diff
fculty. In a few seconds Grace drew a
derringer and fred, the ball passing
through the heart Of Taylor, who fell to
the ground and died instantly. Grace
was arrested by Sergeant Arrata and was
indicted next day by the Grand Jury,
who found a true bill against him for
murder.

OK Tuesday Of last week the people Of
Wayne county voted by q majority Of
2l2 a subscription Of $l25, 900 to the
Memphis and Knoxville Marrow Gauge
Railroad Company to be used in con-
structing the road through that county.
This is equal TO one-twelfth of all the tax
able property in the county and the &C.
ton Of the people shows that they have
confidence in the enterprise and are in
earnest. The owners Of the Wayne fur
mace, which suspended operations last
year, ii is stated, will resume at an early
day. The estimated cost Of the road
from Memphis to Pulaski, 100 miles, is
81, 900, 1000. Three hundred thousand
dollars have been subscribed in West
Tennessee, but very little Of it in Shelby,
and two hundred thousand dollars in
Middle Tennessee. General R. P. Nicely,
of Bolivar, the interchangeable President,
has already graded about twenty miles
of the road east Of Bolivar aHd is conf
dent that the whole road between Mem
phis and Pulaski can be put under con-
tract during the next year. This road,
when built, will be worth more to Mem
phis in proportion to its cost than any
railroad we have.
