John Mccullough.

John Mccullough.
Next week this famous actor of the Roman
school will conn ence an engagement at the
Theater. He will be supported by a strong
company, many members of which are well
known to Memphis theater. goers. At New
Orleans, re emily, bis representation of
"Othello' attracted puiversal attention. The
Times, of that city, contains the following:
"a long time has elapsed since New Orleans
play-goers have seen a better performance of
OtheLlO than was given at the Academy of
Music last night and it is pleasant fact to
record that a large audience assembled to
witness it. Shakespeare's plays, well acted,
should always be attractive. lndiHerently
acted-as play must be, in which one star,
however good, is badly supported-they are
simply dreary torture, so far as the tragedies
are concerned. The star last night was Mr..
job \ Mccullough, and his support was of the
best order. Mr.. Mccullough is certainly a
grand 'Othello;' in no other part has
he shown such marked improvement
since he was here last, as in this. He APP
pears to have ventured away from the ira
ditions of his great master, Forrest, In the
part, and is less boisteroUs. His impersona-
ton nowhere lacks strength, yet 1T is marked
with fine touches of art worthy of Salvini.
An instance is the reading of the lines Fare.
well the tranquil mind; farewell content,
etc., which were not beloved to the gods,
but softly and sadly spoken, as if the man
communed with himself, and felt the grlet
his words expressed. The jealous scene, too,
was admirably acted, where the mind of
'Othello' is gradually poisoned by the crafty
'Iago' until with a wonderful burst of pas
sion he hurled the villain to the floor. 1t
may be safely said that John Mccullough is
now the 'Othello' of the American stage.
His costumes are fine, and his makeup is
truly oriental and picturesque, even
to the peculiar beard and earrings he wears.
He is colored to be the tawny Moor, and not
the black man to be repulsive to BESIDE
mona" Mr.. Charles Barron made his first
appearance in this city as Tago, and at once
found favor at the hands of a critical
audience. Mr.. Barron is the prime tavorite
of aesthetic Boston. AS a general actor in
light comedy. emotional drama, and tragedy
when occasion requires, he is exeelled by no
other actor on the stage, all things consid
cred. His 'Isgo' is remarkably clever per-
Torrance, being of the quiet, insinuating,
plausible kind of vilainy that did not I'M
mask itself to 'Othello, yet was so potent
and clefr cut as to leave nothing to be de-
sired"

Ike Receipts and Expenditures Of the

A Big Elephant Of the Constitutional
Kind, which will have TO be Gotten
Rid of some Way or Other-In-

pressed Taxpayers.

Among the many institutions at this end
cf the State which needs revisement and inn
provement, is the old-fashioned county court
system. In counties wherein no city exists,
the old system works probably well enough,
but 10 Shelby county, where city like Mem
phls has existence, containing population
of nearly fifty thousand inhabitants, the OLD
county court system of doing business IS an
almost intolerable humbug. Memphis has
gotten rid ofthe circumlocution offcel known
as MAYOR the aldermen and twenty coUn-
cilmen, besides a vast number of barnacles
which stuck to the bottom and sides OF the
old Incorporated hulk, men who lived OF the
city and believed that il was their birth right
TO do So We have happily gotten rid OF this
dead weight and the barnaclesahave to make
an honest living in some other manner. The
county court syst I'm at present IN vogue is
an old cIrcumlocution system which could
be gotten rid of without the people of Mem
phIs bee 1m'ug weary or sorrowtul. ANY sea-
sible citizen who examines lnt0 1t Will come
to that conclusion from the following array OF
facts placed before MIN for consideration.
1t is true the county court system of this
State is a system recognized by the constltu-
ton, but what of that? Whenever any local
system OF government becomes bore or
clog on a community, 1t follows that 1t should
be abolished as nuisance as soon as posi-
BILE. The county of Shelby, ~ which Men,
phis, the most important city of the State is
situated, is governed by some twenty or
thirty magistrates, who meet IN solemn ses-
sion to consider county affairs four times
year. What do they do at these meetings.?
They legislate for the county of Shelby,
Memphis included. Many years since, under
Radical rule, a select lot of commissioners
superseded the county court of magistrates,
but the supreme court of the State properly
decided that such commission was illegal
and unconstitutional, and that the county
court, composed of al the magistrates of the
county, YVES the only body recognized as au-
thority under the constitution. The cumber-
some legislation wherever thirty or more men
meet, the vast majority of whom live out
side the city, is big elephant in this end of
the State, so far as Memphis is concerned.
The financial condition of Shelby county for
the last year, up to April l, 1873, was as fol-
lows:
