COURT HOUSE NOTES.

Julius Hicks pleaded guilty to horse
stealing, and received a sentence o.
five years this forenoon.
The case of Norwood VS.. Tucker
Turnage & Co., for breach of contract,
was being heard in the Circuit Court
this forenoon.
The case of German VS.. Gwynne
will probably be given to the jury this
afternoon. The bill alleges that man
named Hall was recommended as
good by Gwynne, and Germain lost
some 5000 by him. Hence the suit.
NJ. Larkin VS.. Saffaraus ct ais, eject
ment suit for property taken up under
direct tax title will be taken up next
by the United States Circuit Court.
q. S. Marshal Williamson arrested
John and Fred Emerich at jackson
Tenn, for having in possession and
manufacturing counterfeit one dollar
coins. The coins and moulds were
found in their possession. The case
was heard at Jackson, and the parties
committed to Jail in default Of $1,000
bail each.
Samuel Beaver was arrested al
Jackson for passing ten dollar coan.
terfeit notes, and committed to Jail in
default Of 5000 bond.

The red car line of the City Railway
Company changed its route at daylight
yesterday morning, passing out Beale
to Lauderdale, thence south to Hon.
Jacob Thompson's residence below
Georgia street, and thence out the old
course on Mississippi avenue to the
rear Of Elmwood Cemetery. The new
course is between 200 and 300 yards
longer than the old, but the Beal street
track and that from Beal to Vance, on
Lauderdale, is utilized, SO that it is a
saving to the company. The Herman
do street track from Beale to Georgia
street has been abandoned, and the
old track will doubtless be taken up.
Observant patrons Of the line are Of
opinion that the revenue of the road
will not be increased by the change.
The gain, however. in labor, and the
expense of keeping up two tracks,
when one will answer, it is expected
will more than balance any loss of
patronage by the alteration.

LONDON, December 12.-The latest
news from Afghanistan does NOT
promise well for the future tranquility
of that country. An attempt was
made to burn the building Of the
Esparta Steam Press Company with
petroleum.
A Leicester correspondent says
Some sensation is caused here by the
bankruptcy and disappearance of
Charles Henry Francks, a leather
merchant, whose liabilities are esti-
mated at 10000 to 100000 pounds.
Francks is called an American.
VIENNA, Dec. 12.--The police i'm
agined the entire audience had quit
ted the theater. They prevented
outsiders from entering, and locked
the doors without ascertaining if there
was any one inside. New rules TO in
sure the safety OF Imperial theaters
are published.
AMadrid correspondent says that the
catastrophe at Vienna caused great
excitement here. Immediate precau-
tionary measures will be taken to
secure public safety at theaters.
Coax, December 12.-Forty farms
which have bsen seized under
execution for rent were offered for
sale. Twenty-One were purchased for
the Land League. In ten cases the
tenants settled their rent.

The premiums offered were as fol.
lows: 500 for the best bale from each
State, and $1,000 as a grand prize fol
the best bale among those taking the
State premium of 500 each. There
were about one hundred and fifty
bales on exhibition and entered for
premiums, representing all the
cotton States. The most of these we're
very fine bales prepared expressly for
this occasion. The greatest pains had
been taken in picking and handling.
Tho following gentlemen were ap-
pointed a committee to judge Of the
samples taken from the cotton so en-
tered; John Dow, of the firm Of
Lehman, Dow & Co., of Montgom-
cry, Alabama; w. G. Sanders,
Of S. NJ. Inmsn & Co., Atlanta;
and j. G. johnson, firm Of J. G..
johnson & Co., of Memphis. These
gentlemen were entrusted with a dii-
fcult, delicate and responsible trust
They we're very hard at work Thurs
day and Friday. Being experts and
conscientious gentlemen the awards
will doubtless be correct and satisfsc-
tory. All we know is that Panola
County bale (and there were several
entered) took the grand prize. All the
Pamela county bales were shipped
from this market. Hence Memphis
has carried off the biggest honor to
be had at the great International Cot
ton Exposition.
