The Quarterly Court adjourned yes
terday until next Tuesday. Nearly all
the business Of the term has been dis
posed of. About a week ago an order
was passed granting permission to c..
Horgan to run a ferryboat across the
river opposite the city, and requiring
him to make six trips daily. At present
the ferry company does not run oitener
than convenient, which is about as often
as the trains connect. Yesterday a me
ton was made to reconsider the order.
and that matter is set for Tuesday. Mr..
Horgan is represented BY Judge
Henry G. Smith. The exclusive ferry
privilege is claimed by John Over.
ton, jr., on the ground that his
grandfather in donating the batture and
promenade to the city reserved the ex.
elusive right forever to the ferry. The
question vas once tested in the courts
and carried up to the Supreme Court.
Judge Smith was n of the counsel for
the Overton side of the case, and says
that be lost it, and will produce the opin.
ion delivered in the Supreme Court by
next Tuesday. 1t is a Ease of consider
able interest to the public, as the ferry
is run to suit the %lessees, and not for the
convenience Of the public. And another
thing: it never pays one dollar taxes,
the owners claiming that the franchise
was exempted. There is a general law
taxing such ferries, but it has never been
applied to this n by any tax collector
in the county.

Police Items.

Anderson Dunlap goes to jail on a
charge Of burglary, inasmuch as he is
suspected of stealing a pair of boots
three months ago from Linkhauer, on
Second street. Sandy Curtin was also
sent up to keep him company for having
participated IN the steal.
John Sheppard, a witness in the con-
hdsnce case in which Mitchell, Moore
and Kelley (colored) were involved, was
sent to Jail himself, while the original
parties under arrest we're let off. The
parties keep a saloon on upper Main
street, and were accused of unlawfully
Withholding twenty-six dollars from one
Joe White, an unsophisticated darby
from Nashville.
George Smith, the Mardi-Gra negro
who assumed female apparel in order to
more easily escape the tolls Of his
mother'in.law, was discharged by the
Recorder, as the legal light lowed that
it was a meritorious act to escape from
the fangs of a tigerish female relative.
Smith had $400, which enabled him to
hire the finest forensic talent in the city;
hence the court rang with ~eloquence
this morning.
William Reilly was sent to Jail on a
charge OF larceny. Messrs. Black and
Stewart were also sent up for similar
crimes.
The man who was shot by the chain
gang guard a few days ago was sent to
the hospital by the health officer yester-
day.
The colored population find infinite
enjoyment in witnessingthe proceedings
Of courts. They gather in great mum.
bers every morning at the dingy room
where the Recorder holds his levee and
enjoy the luxury of criminal prosecu-
tons with much gusto. There is an at
mosphere of civilization and sweetness
for two blocks round thst vicinity for
three hours that follows light every
morning.

Death Of rs. Marry.

We copy from the Vicksburg Herald
the following just tribute to the memory
of n whose loss will long be deeply
mourned by many sorrowing hearts in
this city:
We learn with unfeigned sorrow of the
death, at Memphis, last Saturday, the
10th inst, of Mrs Jennie Elicit, wife Of
DR.. Richard B Maury, and eldest dauph.
ter of Hon. Henry T. Elicit, formerly
M Of the Judges Of the MississipDi
High Court of Errors and Appeals.
Mrs. Maury was in the June Of lite, and
was a most estimable and Christian lady
As daughter, sister, wife, mother and
friend, she illustrated the loveliest and
noblest characteristics of her sex, and
the intelligence of her early death will
carry sorrow 10 the hearts and bring
tears to the eyes of oil who had the
privilege of knowing her. To the
stricken husband and parent we extend
the sincerest sympathy.

Spring weather.

The weather to-day is as windy and
clustering as the ragged edge Of March.
There is a call for overcoats, eannels,
furs and fires that could not have been
anticipated a week ago. The polar wave
from 6fteen.inch snow up North has
struck us. Spring suits are set back;
vegetation shivers and looks pinehed up
like dollhouse plants left out over night
by mistake; the crowds on the streets
draw their wrsppings about them and
hasten along to escape the gusts of wind
that cnt around the corners and the
clouds of fine cut dust constantly thick
ening the air; the suns rays have little
warmth, as if falling at an obtuse angle
upon some extreme S~pitzbergen Of our
sphere. AT one o'clock this morning
old lmprobabilities' at Washington
predicted cooler weather, but as il had
already set in he could do that with con-
hdence. By tomorrow he will begin TO
prophecy warmer weather and a falling
barometer. A slight rise in the Their
mometer would be ~eminently s~atisfae
tory, and we now predict, regardless Of
the weather bureau, that it will happen
before the end Of this month. We will
also risk a further prediction while in
the spirit, which is that when summer
comes it will come all at once, and be
hot enough to make the very recollee-
ton Of this polar wave a delight. The
ice dealers need not despair. Their day
will come, and a long one it will be.
There will be a demand for ice coolers
and lemonades, though We SILVER at the
thought now; for foaming lager, for
awnings and fans and linen busters; for
the shady side of the house, for ice
cream and refrigerators. We are always
looking forward to a change for the bet
ter, and when it comes we sigh for the
past. Such is life, and so the world goes;
but as Moore said
"Joy is ever on the wing,
And even spring would he but gloomy Weather
II we had nothing else but spring."
