AMUSEMENTS.
The Chickasaw Guards Benehl

1t is generally known that the benefit ten
dered the Chickssaw Guards, to take place
Friday night, is for the purpose of raising
funds to employ Arnold's band to go with
the famous military company to Louisville
and indianapolis. This is such an appro-
pirate step that all our people approve 1t,
and many are taking such personal interest
in it as will insure its success. All who feel
kindly toward the "Chicks" land who does
not) ought to buy tickets, whether they can
attend or not. The entertainment will be
most excellent one, and will be sufficiently
varied to amuse old and young. There will
be fine music, drilling in the manual OF
arms by squad of the company, singing OF
two choruses by the children Prof. Levy is
training. and a number of attractions not
vet announced. Let the "Chicks" under
stand that they shall have one of the finest
little bands in The country. Such company
deserves such band.

A Fi-ticuG Duel by Two Drummers.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon Officer
L. B. Condor was approached while on the
corner of Main and Monroe streets by Mr..
Cruger, a'Cuban, who informed him that
party by the name OF Gus Steele, who is en-
ployed with him az a drummer for the
Wholesale tobacco house of Baxter & Co.,
had left him for the purpose of arming him
self with a pistol to shoot him (CrHger);
that when Steele returned he desired the Off
Ger to arrest him and secure the weapon.
Steele soon returned and entered Baxter &
Co.'s store where he was followed by the
officer, who stated his suspicious, and on
Steele's denial of the fact the officer searched
him in the store by his request. Not finding
any weapon on him he retired. a short
while afterward the same officer noticed
Cruger and Steele in the back alley
throw off their coats as if they in
tended to decide their differences
by a rough -sn1-tumb!e fst-hght. The
officer approached and threatened to arrest
them both if such demonstrations were re-
newed. They both begged to be allowed to
enter the cellar of the store in quiet way
and eight it out" which he very properly
refused to permit. The belligerents on this
walked off together in an apparently friendly
way, but only to arrange for spot outside
of the city limits where they could meet with
their friends and decide the question at
issue, which, when it is stated that the par
ties are rival drummers in the same line of
business, an! for the same firm, may
| readily be guessed. Oar informant states
that Mr.. Steele secured the services
OF Mr.. Jack Green as his best man,
| when Mr. Cruger found a comforter
| in gentleman by the name of Walter Damn.
| This and other prelimiuaries being settled,
they separated at the store, secured hacks
and drove rapidly down Main street to Jack
| son, whence they repaired to the open field
| well known as Cockrell's shooting grounds,
where it was decided to settle the difficulty
with fists, in a regular old fashioned rough
and-tumble fight. Both parties were first
searched for weapons by the seconds, then a
ring was formed and the combatants
ordered to walk up to the Scratch" shake
hands and pitch in after the manner OF
| the ring bruisers. The instructions of the
seconds were fully carried out to the salts
faction of the crowd present, which consisted Ct
dozen or more, who got wind OF the fight and
drove out after them in hacks, and a few ne
groes from the neighborhood. Round No. l
settled Cruger. Steele planted quick blow
on the Spaniard's nose that sent him to
grass, where he was mounted by Steele, who
| would have pummeled him badly but for the
interference of Mr.. Dunn, who dragged him
| Off This ended the contest. The CORY war
riors shook hands, and Mr.. Cruger, with his
friend, returned to the city and will remain
in his little bed at Cochran Hall short
while.

A report reached the city yesterday after
noon TO the effect that one negro had shot
another on the fernando road, near Cane
creek, on the day before. Sheriff Athy dis
patched Deputy Glenn Harris, colored, to go
out and make an investigation and arrest.
The deputy returned at dark last evening,
after a long, hot ride, and states that two
negroes, Sam Sankton and Charley White,
came to hot words over game of marbles
they were playing in the roadway, near
Brooks's avenue, some Elk miles south OF the
city, on the fernando road; that the for
mer retreated to and mounted his mule,
which was hitched near by, and riding up TO
the latter renewed the war of words, and
without further warning drew a small prize
box silver-mounted pistol and shot his
opponent in the breast, just below the nipple,
and Immediately rode away. DR.; Raine was
called in to attend the wounded man, and
pronounced the case not dangerous. Sankten
has SO far evaded arrest, but is doubtless
somewhere in the neighborhood.

respectively, for what is claimed to be the iqui-
dating tax for the settlement of the Indebtedness
phis due, claimed, on the 3lst day OF May 1882,
and for the year of 1882. That said tax is claimed
to be due and collectable under an act OF the
Legislature of Tennessee passed April 6, 1851 be-
ing chapter XXIII acts of 1881, and by an inspec-
ton of said act, it will be that the tax herein
provided was for the sole purpose of paying the
interest bonds to be issued under the said act.
and the issue OF said bonds was conditioned on
the creditors of the city of Memphis compromising
their claims against the city Of Memphis at the
dollar. and in the event the creditors refused to
settle or compromise at said rate, then no such
could be legally levied hereunder, etc.
The bill goes on to reeite that up to the
present time only $500 have been funded
into new bonds, the interest thereon being
but $12 per year, and said two bonds of $500
are null and void because the same are COM
posed OF what il known Nicolson paving
scrip, which was at the date of issue of the
bonds barred by the statute of limitations,
and so held by the courts not to be enforci-
BILE against the city of Memphis, and, being
void, no tax is necessary to pay the interest
thereon; that the creditors have refused to
accept the terms of said act of 1881, and
there is not the least possibility of their
doing so.
Another reason assigned why the tax is
void is that the act of April, 1882 repeats
the act of 1881; that the act of 1881, upon
its face, designates and expressly provides
tina said tax Is State revenue, and the COM
missioners are State officers, and being an
assessment and levy Of taxes upon one class
of people and one section OF the State, and
the property therein located, different and at
greater rate than upon other sections and
property in other pcrtIons of the State, is
violation of the constitution OF Tennessee,
and especially the provision thereof which
requires that taxes shall be equal and uni
form throughout the State, and that no one
species of property shall be taxed higher
than any other species of property OF
the same value. 1t is also claimed
to be unconstitutional, because it imposes a
provision for the levy of taxes for an in
definite period of time and beyond the two
years for which said legislative body was
elected, and cites a decision OF the Supreme
Court of Tennessee wherein the power of the
Legislature is limited to the two years for
which they were elected.
The above are the principal allegations as
to the illegally Of the proceeding TO collect
the tax for liquidating purposes, the argu-
ment upon which makes up about twenty
pages of closely written gal cap.
Appended to the bill is a written copy OF
the Memphis city compromise bond, of the
Flippin series, and the ordinance authorizing
their issue, together with the cost bonds OF
all the plaintiffs.
