Adjournment OF the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March oath. - The
Senate adjourned at 5:45 P. NJ, the
President having reported at $50 that
he had no further communication to
make to that body. After five hours
debate, the Senate, by vote of 25 to
Is, laid the nomination of Pardee, as
District Judge of Louisiana, on the
table. This places the litigation in
Louisiana in an embarrassing posi-
tion, as the District Judge alone has
jurisdiction in bankruptcy and admi-
ralty, and the judgeship must remain
vacant until the next session Of Con-
gress.

Yesterday a party numbering about
ninety ladies and gentlemen belonging
TO the Indiana editorial excursion ar.
rived in the city and put up at the Pea
body. During the afternoon they visited
several portions Of the city and admired
Memphis considerably. But few Of the
gentlemen rel stood on the bluffs before
yesterday, and the great river lad his
back up by way of doing honor to u
Indiana visitors. Last night they at
tended the theater and to-day they con.
tinued their perambulations about town.
The gentlemen Of the party represent
all the leading daily aud weekly journals
published in the Hoosier State.
The ladies are remarkably good look
ing and we're generally admired by
Memphians. The party is managed by
Mr., Ainsworth, Of the Plainfeld Reform
School Record. This gentleman has
charge and attends to the wants and
comforts of bis &C. excursionists, and if
we a judge by the praise lavished
upon him. no better selection could have
been made.
The exeursionists will leave this after
noon via the Mississippi aud Tennessee
railroad for Vicksburg, the city of sieges,
whence they will visit New Orleans,
Mobile, Montgomery, Eufaula, Talla-
hasse, Jacksonville, Savannah, Charles
ton, Augusta, Atlanta, Chattanooga and
Lookout Mountain, Nashville and return
to Indianapolis via Evansville, Indiana.
The party received considerable atten-
ton from our citizens, who extended to
them a hearty welcome, such as should
be extended from Tennessee to Indiana.
May their trip continue to be one Of
pleasure and enjoyment, and may they
never have cause to regret their visit 10

An Impending Duel.

There is a prospect of q duel between
the river reporter of the Avalanche and
the river mar OF the New Orleans Times.
The Avalanche some days since charged
that the Times articles with reference to
A. ]. and the mine" were inspired by
q gentleman formerly connected with
the press of Memphis, and pitched into
said gentleman on general principles
and on suspicion; but now the Times
river man comes back in an editorial
paragraph as follows:
The Memphis Avalanche Of Friday
last contained a malicious paragraph
rejecting upon one Of the Times at
taches. Evidently the paragraph was
written by the same individual whe a
few months ago had his face slapped
publicly by the gentleman the para
graphist referred to.
The New Orleans man, Mr.. H. L.
Smith, refers to a little skirmish INDUCED
in with Mr.. Will Trask, of the Ava.
lanche, on the corner Of Main and
Madison, a fight most amusing to look
ers-on and resulting harmlessly to both
combatants. But now the thing must
result in gore" a word always en-.
phasized by the Avalanche men, who
occasionally change it, and use instead
the dread word blood" Probably a
special investigating committee ought to
be appointed to send for persons and
papers and investigate this street fight
referred to. If the names Of the wit
nesses are furnished by the Times, Hop
Johnson Of the Appeal will 90 around
and interview each n Of them in the
most prosy style. Should a duel take
place it mast be fought at Icing range,
the distance being about $50 miles by
rail and about 1850 by river. The duel
must Of course be fought by the river
route, as both gentlemen are connected
with the wet ends" Of their respective
journals. AS both men are friends Of
ours, we respectfully suggest hat the
fight ZONE off in the morning so that
the LEDGER can have a detailed account
Of the affair and its results.

aoyernoF Porter Signs the Bill
First Circuit Courts OF SHELBY

GoyernoF Porter signs the Hi
Abollehfng the First Chnncery
County.
A private dispatch received here to-
day states that Governor Porter had
signed the bill providing for the abolish
ment of the First Circuit and First
Chancery Courts Of Shelby county.
The bill provides that the Chan
Gerry Court shall 90 out Of existence
on the first Monday in October next,
and the Circuit Court on the first
Monday in September next. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the best lawyers
in the State agree that the act is uncon-
stitutional. 1t is also understood that
Judge Halsey, Of the Second Circuit
Court, will claim his salary for the full
term and will continue to hold court.
The fret case coming up after the first
Monday in September will be a test case,
as the question Of the jurisdiction Of the
court will be pleaded, and this
plea will open up the whole
case before the Supreme Court. The
Second C~hancery Court will probably be
placed in the same attitude. Judge T.
W. Brown has been retained by Judge
Halsey to test the eonslitntionality Of
the bill before the Supreme Court. 1t
will involve interesting questions Of law
as to the force of the Constitution and
the powers Of the General Assembly.
Governor Porter had to either approve
or veto the bill within FIVE days, and his
action to-day in the matter prevented
the sending up Of a petition praying him
to veto the bill, and signed by eighty.
seven leading members Of the bar,
amounting to at least four-6fths Of the
entire bar of the city.

MEMPHIS THEATER. There was quite
a large and fashionable crowd at the

and gentlemen of the Indiana editorial

of Lessee Davey and enjoyed the very
clever acting of Mr.. Murphy in Help.
The drama was well presented and sus.
tanned from the rising until the falling
of the curtain.
Tonight Help will be again produced,
it being the occasion of manager Gus
Pennoyer's benefit, which has been ten
dered to him by a large number of GU,
leading citizens. We hope to see the
house crowded, the dramatic attraction
being good and the object for which the
benefit is intended being most worthy.
Manager Pennoyer should be HELPED
tonight, as during the season he has
helped to please the people of Memphis
and has spared no trouble in so doing.
