CITY TAX CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTED.
- NES3.

The City OF Springfield has, Like tic City OF
Chicago, been considerably embarrassed by
tho uon.collection Of ta1es. In order to carry
on tie Government tho city has bcon accus-
toned, since 1872, to issue to tho creditors
certificates Of indebtedness bearing 10 per
cont interest, md as the taxes were collected
pnyiug of the same. The number Of tax
hghters and tho amount Of uncollooted tax
having increased annually, there was pro-
portionato incroaso in these certificates. At
last, upon tho complaint Of citizen, Judge
ZANE, OF the Sangamon Circuit Court, issued
a temporary injunction prohibiting tho cor
porato authorizes from issuing any such ccr-
tificatcs Of indebtedness. and prohibiting
their payment or lcvyiug my taxes for thar
payment This injunction has since beeu
mado permanent.
The opinion Of Judge ZANE has been pub
lished aud hns attracted considerable attan-
ton. Tho Courts decision rosts upon tho
assumption that to issue thoso certificates Of
Indebtedness il M incronso Of tho debt Of
tho city falling within the prohibitions Of the
Constitution. The existing debt Of the city
having reached It's maximum, there Is no
legal authority to increase it I" in any man-
uor or for my purpose to any amount" Tho
Court comedies that the city nlay give neao
bonds for old ones, because that would not be
increasing indebtedness, but merely giving
new evidence thereof; but ke held that to
borrow money to pay IN existing debt is n
breach Of the Constitution, which forbids tho
creation Of debt in any manner or for any
purpose. Ho denies also TINT the city may
anticipate her revenue, saying that tho
crcntion Of debt in the summer, In nntici-
| patton of ta7cB to bs collected in thu winter,
IL mona tho less debt, because it ia in antici-
! patton Of the collection Of such taxes. lie
| holds TINT warrants issued upon tho Treasury
whom there ia no money in the Treasury sro
evidences Of debt. If thocity buys m article
when slo Inns not tho money in the Treasury
10 pay, she creatcs debt; Il the money ia in
the Treasury and It is paid for, no debt III
created. The epirit OF tho Constitution pro.
| yidcs TINT tic city shnll do cAsh business
shal1 pay asit goes; and, 1t It does SO in dobt,
It must do SO in tho why prescribed by the
Constitution md not otherwise.

In reference to the frog found by AS
sistant Engineer Murray in the middle
of one OF the paving stones taken up
from the landing, of which an account
was published in the LEDGER at the time,
the Philadelphia Day has the following
to say:
A blue limestone paving block has
lain in The streets of Memphis, Tenn,
fifteen years. 1t was recently broken
IN in order to be fitted into a new place,
and lol q little frog hoped out and was
risky. II Professor Huxley will allow
it, the little frog may tell as loud o story
as Niagara. Tens Of thousands Of years
ago that little frog may have taken a nap
in the mud and got irretrievably stuck;
fresh deposits buried il; and in the lapse
of ages the mud became stone, aud after
more tens of thousands of years the
block was cut out of the Ohio river
qusrries. What an interesting autobi
ography that frog might tell if be could
croak intelligibly and his arithmetic
we're to hold out.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
The Dead Body OF a Negro FOuns
Floating Below the Elevator.

The Dead BODY OF a Negro Found
FLOATING Below the Elevator.
Abort a week ago a number Of negroes
we're at work on the wheel of the steamer
Illinois. and they reported that one Of
their iellow-workmen had fallen over
board accidentally. This morning the
body was found floating in the eddy be-
low the 81 evator at the foot of Beal street.
Coroner Caldwell held an inquest on the
body and the jury returned a verdict Of
death by drowning.
1t was discovered that the mouth and
nose Of the drowned man had been badly
mashed as if by q blow with some heavy
instrument, and this was of itself a sus.
picious circumstance hat may lead to
further legal investigation. The negro's
name was lisbon. a resident Of Chelsea.
On the person Of the drowned man was
found an open knife in the pants pocket,
and his hand clssped the knife. He had
also a pocket-book in which we're s.
cents and a boodoo-b0g containing a
rabbit foot and two pieces Of losdstone.

Some days since one Frank NJ. Cook
was arrested by the police on the charge
of tapping the till at Dayenport's At
lantic beer garden saloon on Main street,
near Washington. Cook was committed
and has been indicted also. It turns out
that he had been passing himself off
upon the unsuspeeing as a Catholic
priest and also az a medical doctor. A
diploma issued by the Medical College
of South Carolina was found in his pos.
session. An inspection proved that the
lame of the gentleman to whom the Dip
Iona had been issued had been scratched
out and the name, f. M. Cook inserted
in its place. The date of the issuance
Of the diploma was likewise changed.
Cook processes to be q Master Mason in
good standing. He claims to be iuno-
cen Of the crime charged, and he has
been appealing for aid to the Masonic
brethren, but the above scrap Of history
concerning his career here does not put
him in a very envisble light, to say the
least.

BALL TOSsISG.


The Columbus, Ohio, Buckeyes ne
feated by the Memphis Reds by =
score OF 3 10 S--fwOIrh0naand eeO-
piefn Attendance az Central Park.
On yesterday about two thousand peo-
pie appeared at Central Park in order to
witness the game Of base ball to be
played by the Ohio Buckeyes and Men,
phis Reds. Every body believed that the
" Bucks would be victorious, as it is a
crack club, and has defeated the League
Bostons, the Hartiords and tied the
Louisvilles in a game played last Friday.
In consequences Of this reputation the
bets offered yesterday we're big odds in
favor Of the Bucks" two to one being
freely offered, which was accepted by a
few apparently reckless takers who are
now regarded as base ball wise men, who
know a hawk from a handsaw," as
Shakespeare has it-not.
Up to the beginning Of the 9th inning
embarrassing was INDUCED in by both
clubs, but at the latter half Of this inning
the Buck" scored 3 on errors. The sixth
inning opened with 5 for the Reds, and
in consequence loud cheering was in
dulgedin By the crowd. The Bucks" did
not succeed in scoring another run after
that, but the Reds added 2 en- the eighth
and | on the ninth innings, making a
total Of 8 to 3 for the Bucks" The
Reds did some very fine playing, Burka'
low, the pitcher, Keuneday, catcher,
Shoupe, second base, and others distin-
gushing themselves. Walker, first base,
usually so much to be relied upon, made
several errors, and the score Of 3 made
BIZ the Backs was the consequence.
K~enneday met with an accident in the
sixth inning which compelled him to re-
tire for the balance Of The game, Ellick
being substituted, who played with his
usual accuracy. A travelled gentleman
and a stranger in the city, stated 10 our
hearing last night tina. Ksunsday is the
best catch in the United States; that he
had witnessed a number of games by all
the League clubs, East aud West, and he
had not seen his equal. The victory of
the Reds was hailed with delight amid
cheers and nat throwing INDUCED in by
the audience.

SALsBURY's TRoUBADoURs.- Tonight
the Memphis Theater will be opened reg.
ularly for the season, aud on this occa-
sion the Troubadours will present an
operate novelty entitled Patchwork.
The opera overAows with fun and must
cal selections from French and English
comic operas. The plot Of the opera is
as follows: Some servants at 1880 Am,
amuse themselves by initiating q mas.
querade which had taken place IN their
masters house the night before; taking
possession of the dresses used on that
occasion, they dress themselves accord
ing to their several f%ancies, ard proceed
to act, sing and dance in accord with
their natural inclination, but with due
regard TO operate proprietiea. AS to the
members of the company an exchange
furnishes the following:
To partieularize, Mr.. Salisbury is very
satisfactory as a burlesque performer,
aud is above the average in his imita-
tons. His Jefferson as Rip" is we'll
given, both in makeup and elocution.
His Introduction Of Fechter 10 Hamlet
is capital. Mr.. Gourlsy and Mr.. Web.
ster are each acceptable in their respect
i've roles, the former being a very fine
vocalist. But the browning excellence
of the part is in the female department,
which is really very good. Miss Nellie
McHenry is one OF the most bewitching,
fascinating, mischievous booking, capti-
waiting little sirens that ever beguiled an
audience or captured a lover. One can.
not look at her in her role of Betty
and retain even a semblance of gravity,
or listen to her singing without expert,
encing a peculiar sensation in the vi.
cinity of the midriff. She is indeed fas.
cinating. Miss Clara Fisher, who makes
her first visit to our city with the Trou.
badours, is one of the finest sopranos
that we have listened to in a long time.
Her voice is siugularly beautiful, her
method eminently satisfactory, her in
%tonation perfect, giving evidence Of cul
tigation IN q correct school, while hel
dramatic powers are far above the aver
age.
