~ommending measures he is certain will

Judgments against the city for $7S,-
3S9.O8 were presentedto the city cOun-
Gil last night with peremptory orders
from the courts to have a tax levied
large enough to settle the amount.
The only way out Of these mandamus
orders is to stop the council from
holding meetings. 1t wouldn't hurt
much to let it run "%sorter loose" for a
while longer, as it appears to be
about as well governed with no govern
ment as with the semblance of the
one we have. Cattle and hogs are per-
mitted to run at large on our high
ways; our priyy vaults are full to
overhowing, our streets reek with filth,
and a general state of delapidation pre-
walls, with none to enforce the laws,
if we have any, or officials careless
about executing their duties.

DIXON ONCE MORE.
He Wants Pay When interviewed, and
Would Like $3.50 for Each.

The very ex-Rev. Dixon, who fig.
ured here a few days since in the sui
eide business so extensively, has since
turned up in Evansville, Ind. While
toasting his toes before a bright fire
and resting his bones in a nice armed
chair an interviewer struck in upon
his repose. Tho doctor evolved him
self as follows:
II am tired and worn out, and
want rest. / knew of no place where
| could get it better than right here
in Evansville, and | have come to
stay. My family will be here, and
with their care | think ! will soon be
myself again
" | shall remain here. After | get
thoroughly rested | shall possibly re-
sumo the practice of medicine. That.
however, has not been fully decided
upon"
M terms for interviews are S1OC
a column when / am well, and $3.50
when | am sick, and | am sick now.
All sorts of stories and rumors have
been written and published about me,
and | am heartily tired and sick of the
whole business
You interviewers are queer people.
When | was in Memphis the Ava
lanche published what purported to
be a column of a conversation with
me. Now the truth of the matter is
that never saw a gentleman connected
with that paper in my life, and never
was interviewed by any one in Mem
phis.'

Reneniinr the Charter.

A petition was in circulation among
citizens and courthouse officials to-
day asking the immediate repeal of
the present city charter. Among the
features prayed for, and to be present.
ed to the legislature, are clauses ask
ing to have three commissioners, one
to be chairman at a salary Of 5000
per annrm, one to be appointed by
the County Court, and one to be elect
ed by the people, the two latter to re-
ceive $500 per annum. 1t also asks to
have five yub-commissioners. It fur
Their asks that the police and fire
chiefs be paid 800 per month, each
captains $40 and patrolmen $50, one of
the latter to be allowed for every
1900 inhabitants. The number is now
one for each 1000 people, Also, for a
president Of the board of health. to
be paid 800 per month. The present
allowance is 81 per annum The SEN
timent of our people is largely in ia
vor of the immediate repeal of the
charter, but whether or not the pro-
posed features are the best substitute
is as yet uncertain. A cheaper man
agOment is what we need, however.

Testimonial TO the Mcclellan
Guards.

There is to be rendered a compli-
mentary testimonial to this c~reditable
colored organization at the Memphis
Theater on Friday evening and at the
Saturday matinee, and the programme
will be entirely unique and original.
This military organization, it will be
remembered, did sterling and practical
service to the city during the yellow
fever epidemic, and a greater portion
Of the credit is due to them for the
maintenance of order and the protee
ton of property during that period.
Il is seldom they call upon our citi-
zens for patronage, and as the proceeds
OF the entertainments are to be appro-
priated for the purchase Of new com
pany uniforms, the colored troops
should receive encouragement in the
matter Of a liberal purchase of tickets
and a large attendance Captain Jas.
Glass and L%ieutenants Jackson and
Dow say they intend treating their
patrons to a irst-class performance in
every respect,
They have reserved the lower part
Of the tbeater, that is the dress circle
and parquette. for their white patrons.

Mr.. w. H. Foute, the superintend-

The Alabama street school-bonse
needs a fence. The Towards have
been presented with a bill for articles
lost or destroyed about the school
houses used during the fever as hos.

claim should be compromised SO that
the buildings can be used. The mat
ter was afterwards referred 70. the
building committee.
The superintendent has refused free
tuition to all persons desiring to send
pupils to the city schools who reside
beyond the corporation lines.
The subject of proper ventilation
and schoolrOOm hygiene engages the
serious attention of the superintend-
ent. This matter was referred 10 the
building committee.
The examination of teachers which
should take place on tbe last Satur.
day in January the superintendent
desires to have postponed until the
last Saturday in April. He regards
the general aspect in the schools as
decidedly promising.
The cash on hand in bank is only
$234,45.
Bills received during December
amounting to $764.84 were allowed.
The teachers pay roll amounting to,
S3Of356, was also allowed.
