DISTRICT COURT.

The court was in session yesterday FORE
noon when it was adjourned 10 Monday a.
usual hour.
The jury, in the case of A. Sautter VS.. w.
Ross, returned a verdict for plaintiff, award
ing $50.
The Huckleberry family were in court,
asking a severance Of the matrimonial bonds
and, after an examination Of the case, the
court refused TO grant the divorce prayed
for.
The case of VIM. A. Rogers VS.. Nancy
Pallet was up for investigation and the court
held decision under adyisement.
A case of considerable Importance was
filed yesterday in the court involving the
title to court house square in this city. The
action is brought by Mrs. Julia P. Munger
vs. the Board of county commissioners, OF
Sedgwick county. The plaintiff sets forth
that she is the surviving widow of ID. 5.
Munger, who on the first day of April, 1874,
plated certain territory and designated and
set apart O court house square, and after
wards executed warranty deed of
said square, transferring it to
the county without consideration other than
promise of the county to erect thereon
permanent county buildings. To this deed
the plaintiff did hot join. Now the plaintiff
claims that the consideration Of that deed
has wholly failed, as the county has erected
its permanent buildings elsewhere and aban
doned the property for the purposes for
which it WAS granted.
The plaintiff states that she has purchased
the rights of all other heirs to the property
and asks the court TO award her $1,000 dam
ages for wrongfully withholding from her
the use of said real estate; she alleges that
she exercises certain possession of the
property and collects rents due on same.
The case involves valuable piece of
property and seems to rest on base OF
seeming rights.

aMr. Edward Shaw the machine
candidate for an important Office, the
special pet of the Nashville American.
and the darling OF our own dear Dem
ocrat, has been indicted for perjury in
Memphis. There is no smell OF polit-
cal persecution about the matter. The
story is simply this. Edward appear
ed before the grand jury in misce-
cremation case and swore that he had
known the woman all her life, that
ner mother was mulatto and her ia,
Their white man. On this testimony
an Indictment was found against the
woman and the white man who had
married her. When the case came up
for trial the Hon. Edward came on
the witness stand and swore the WON.
ans mother was an Indian and hel
father Mexican. On this evidence
the parties were acquitted. The grand
jurors happened to remember what
Edward had sworn to before them
and accordinglyly fell it their duty to
indict him for perjury.
Because the CHRONICLE and some
other papers objected to Shaw on &C
count OF his well known bad character
the machine organs have been trying
to make it appear that we opposed his
appointment because he favored G
railroad commission. The public will
now see how it is.

The New York Tobacco Market.

We clip the following from the New
York Tobacco Leaf of~the LIST inst:
Western Leaf -Messrs. M. RAIDER &
Son report the sales for the month oil
July go hogsheads, distri buted sos to
manufacturers, 81 to jobbers and 401
to exporters.
The exports for the month were A.
072 hogsheads, including 406 stems.
Stock in warehouses is 36,3S3 hogs
heads, including, indicating an in
crease of about 5000, good deal oil
which increase is on storage for ship
ment, having come directly from tie
West for that purpose. The reported
receipts were 23,463 hogsheads.
Trade is dull here, and an observer
says: "We live on hopes, if not on
hops" The same man added that SO
long as the Reggie buyers could obtain
supplies for their first requirements at
the West, as they we're doing, this mar.
ket would be neglected. After the
exhaustion Of supplies there it seemed
likely New York would receive the
usual favors.
Meanwhile, holders here are firm
and abiding their time The month
closed with no change in quotations,
and probably with three or four hum
dred more hogsheads sold than are re-
ported, manufacturers being notice
able in the sample-rooms in augment
ed numbers within the past ten days.
There is a scrap of history explanato-
ny of the long prevailing lethargy here
might be, ard may be, written TO the
advantage of participants in the trans
actions of this market. At present all
that need be said is, the situation is
abnormal and unsatisfactory.

He didn't, so far as am advised. Nei-
ther Ia l. Davis nor Parton, in their

Blennerkasset heard Of Hurr's expedi-
ton and addressed him letter, ten

THE National Review, the organ Of
the Tennessee Republicans, contained
an article last week highly eulogistiC
of Col John II. Savage. 1t spoke oil
him as the greatest among Tennessee
Democrats, and enlarged ON the great
wrongs he had received at the hands
of Harris and other members of his
party. 1t even went so far as to insin-
nate that these envious members OF
his own party while pretending friend
ship gave him the railroad commits
sioner's place for the express purpose
of working his ruin. Can it be posi-
BILE that the Republicans are laying
plans to capture the old man of the
mountains? The thing wouldn't be
so strange as it might seem. The
same element in Virginia which John
Savage represents in Tennessee have
gone over to the Republicans under
the leadership of Malone.

THE LATEST.

Now when the year grows senes-
cent and sun dials are limiting at the
presence OF dog days, the annual stock
of snake stories are making their APP
pearance. They are seeing sea SER
penis on the coast and all kind oil
crawling things of strange shapes and
curious ways are appearing to the den-
liens of the interior.
We were not expecting one of these
yarns in SC staid and respectable paper
as Meals State Gazette, but neverthe-
less In the last issue of that journal
we found the following:
We don't tell snake stories often,
but when a snake comes to the front
with two perfectly developed heads
and four sparkling eyes fixed in their
proper places with mathematical pre-
cision-then we think Dyer county
should 60 to the world ON her record.
We have snake story right, and it is
an DER true tale. The other day as
Johnny Claiborne went whistling
through the woods, ON the old Rogers
place, just four miles from Dyersburg,
he encountered a snake, three feet
long and as big around as a mans
wrist. John killed that snake with a
stick, and at the FIRST blow, thirty-five
little snakes, by actual count, ran out
of its mouth. The one with two heads
was captured, but it died after being
kept day. 1t was then put in alco-
no, lin winch condition it was brought
to town and shown to us and many
other people. The heads, which joined
the body about the neck, were perfect,
as also were the eyes, This Is a plain,
unvarnished tale, honest as the day is
long, and we don't want any of the
profession to be throwing "jim-jams"
at us, either.
