hMn aiirnasseu counterpart, i iiuw in horror by an affray which occurred at uepoi.on i utu.i Ti. five o'clock, the particulars of which are thus detailed, and by which two-en ia tb prime ot youth and manhood lost tbeilivea. Mr. Gaston who wa formerly constable of the Shelby Depot District, and latterly a liverv stabto keeper at the depot, having bad some worda with an old man namea Daudndge, who loafs about the depot, remarked Mr. 8.

J. Dickey who w-standing near by, that he had a gdn; ilonui givebima thrashing, or words to that effect. Mr. Dickey replied that it would be no credit to him or anybody else to do so. This caused hot words and person alitiee, but the gentlemen separated without coming to a collision one Uickey) going to Jones' grocery and tbe other to 'Squire Brewer's store.

Mr. Kleining, on entering 'Squire Brewer's asked him to loan biui a gun to sboot some chickens. Tho 'Squire (or his clerk) not knowing anything about the difficulty, and judging from Flemings iniei manner that he really wanted the un for the purpiee indicated, loaned it to him, and the latter, after poseetaing himself of the weapon, went ont and sealed himself on the platform near the railroad traclc. Mr. Dickey seeing Mr.

Heming thus armed, thought it was best to arm himself, and immediately procured a gun from 'bqaire Jones one, we understand, left there to be repaired and walking to the door, remarked that he believed that he would go home. As he did so, Mr. Fleming got up from his seat on the platform, walked toward him, and raising hia gun as he approached him, tired both barrels at Dickey, the entire charge entering under the right nipple and, ranging toward the left two shots passing entirely through the heart. Diokey, as if by the spasmodic action of tba muscles, caused by piercing tin heart, raised hia gun to nearly a level, and fired almost at the same instant, the charge striking Fiaaaing on the lea shoulder, tearing it almost off and blowing the heart almost out of the body. Both men fell at me same; Instant and within ten feet of each other, stone dead almost Information was sent to the relatives of each and the corpses were taken care of 1 1 1 1 1 oil i ejuiiv, u.u inqneat on them before removal and a verdict was rendered in accordance with the (acta given above.

Yesterday morning Mr. D. J. Rittenhouse, brother-in-law of Mr. Fleming, and Mr.

C. W. Dickey, brother of Mr. Dickey, came to the city together and ordered from Flaherty's, two metallic oasea for tba deceased, exactly alike, which were sent ont on the one o'clock train, and there-mains were committed to the grave last evening. We forbear comments on this horrible affair, and hope, for the honor of Shelby county and of humanity, that we will never again be called upon to recount another such.

Mr. Dickey was a farmer aud resided three miles from Shelby Depot. He was thirty years of age, was a widower, and leaves one child. Mr. Fleming was twenty-seven years old, and leaves a wife and child.

MEMPHIS. What She Is What She Will BeWhat She ought to Do A Picture by a StrangEr. THE COURTS. lulilor Appeal Sojourning temporarily in your active, vigoroui young city, 1 have gathered a few facts and sundry items, while strolling up and down your streets, and thinking that they will not prove uninteresting, 1 have jotted tbein down and have concluded to send them for insertion in your valuable columns lor the benefit of "To whom it may con cern." To commence, the census officers report vou to have in the "Bluff City about forty thousand inhabitants. If this oe true, which 1 supiose to lie a lact, ex cept that lor "forty" read "fifty," as there have been at least ten thousand sentees when the census was talaen, then Mernphis does more business than any city oi the same siza in tne uniteu mates.

The South has received a new impulse. and as cotton always was "King," so "Kim;" cotton always will be, and as tbe ictu.il wealth will double every five veant under the new inspiration of free labor, for from that uumeuional lime "whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," slave lalor has been financially, a most miserable investment; it follows aa "night the day," that each deoenial enumeration will show that "mother" Memphis has triven birth to an infant city of the same length, breadth and thlrkncas na a prodigy ot valor of winch. it will be concede. i nsost mothers, even three who love their lords none the leas, are incapable. Thou, if this be true, with a city increas ing ia size ten thousand per year whit are some cf the plain duties of your city fathers? First of all, provido some adequate system of water works, a system which will" provide water, not only in abundance, but in sufficient quantity to wash the tilth from year streets and alleys; for, without exception (andthe writer hereof ia a cosmopolite in his habits), the streets and alleys ol Memphis are in a worse condition than any fim-claas city in the United States, and certainly Memphis can't afford to belong to any other class.

Why, tbe odors that assail tbe olfactories of a stranger, at least, which arise from tbe alleys in and about Main and Jeffers outrival the "forty stinks of Cologne." Yon city people may have become so ar-castomed to these "forty stinks" that you rather enjoy calling each one by name, but, fur a stranger, may they beanathenfjt tit. Seriously, my dear yonr streets are a disgrace to an energetic city like this. It is well known that standing water, however closely covered, will in an incredible ihort -pace of time absorb the most noxious gasta; hence your cisterns breed contagion and disease, and ought to be abolished at once. Then what anould you do? Utilize first ol all the great body of water wlo.i eddies and hlrls as it rashes by your city. If this is not practicable, look up eoiue other method.

What would New York have been without her rot on, and Philadelphia ber Fairmouut? Echo answers, "What?" Then organize an efficient board of health after the mode ol Chicago, and for energy and public spirit you could have no Detter model. District your city with an officer over each dis-trict, who shall see that every nuisance is abated under penalty order every city physician to report each death attended by him: carry every case of small-pox to the peal-house provide for vaccination; provide water in abundance, that all may keep clean; and until all this is done thoroughly and effectually, your mortality will always be as it is "now for population, situation and natural advantages, greater than almost any city in tbe United Matea. Una more item, Messrs. Editors, and I have done. I read in your columns of a "chain-gang." How? Do yon attach a ball and chain to human beings and parade them on the street for public exhibition? It must be fur exhibition, for a dozen such will not do as much work as could the man appointed to oversee tbeui.

Is not punishment here, as elsewhere, to reform the criminal? Can von do this by lowering hia self- respeot? Away with it; reform It alto- U'-tiier. 1 ou may have made some at tempts at reforming these things, but if so, tne results show hut little success. The proof of the pudding ia in tbe eat ing," and this Memphis pudding, in these respects, don't "eat In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, my in-function to tbe City Fathers is, to bring the blind by a way they know, make darkness light uejoro tne people, these things do unto thorn aud not forsake them. lours truly, FACTS AND ITEMS.

From the Knoxvilie If'Ai and Register of Tuesday, we take tne following: The Supreme Court of the State of Ten nessee assembled in full bench at the Courthouse in this city, at 9 o'clock yesterday, the 12tb.

MRS. OWEN SMITH. DUPLEX MURDER IN ARKANSAS. AMUSEMENTS. A Gbamd Concebt.

On Friday of next week tbe leading professional and amateur musicians of Memphis will give a grand Concert at the New Memphis Theater, for the benefit of tne monewail Jackson Monumental Fund. Tbe affair Is in com petent hands, and will he made all that it can with the material at hand. All the resources of Memphis in vocal aud instrumental music will he called into requisition to make an ooossion worthy tbe inspiring ofject. The lessees of tbe Theater have given the building gratuitously for tbe occasion; tne press, luiiowiug an example so generous, lend their columns gratuitously, and the professional and amateur musicians give their time aud talents without charge. It only remains for the great public to feel such an interest in the memory ot Stonewsll Jackson aa this generosity ou the part of manager, press and musicians argues, to make this Concert graud in Its results In money.

Mr. Holleuberg has kindly consented to take charge of tbe affair, ant will lend the use of two of his grand Chickering pianos, and if necessiry an organ. We look for a really grand Concert, and we confidently predict the Thea ter Will oe crowueu iu every vrer. The Nbw Mimmus ThjuAieb. The theater did not pay last year.

Why? Not because it was not clean, neat, wen lighted and heated. Not because tbe maiiaunnisnt did not introduce uovelly alter novelty in greater deeree than was ever heard or in a new iom loeaicr. Whv. then? Because there was not pa tronage sufficient. The starring system baa also heipea towaru tms uniaiui- sult.

A utility company that is equal to the support ol Joe Jenerson anu uooiu, and all the variety of leaser lights that glimmer between either, together with the necessary eniDloves aa soenic artists, scene shifters, carpenters, etc. calls for vast expenditure oi money, mura than the average hair receipts oi the Theater. Tbe stare named, and indeed many not half so good, demand a clear hall ol the receipts every mgui, and the full benefit weekly besides, on which occasions the manager only retains tho actual bare expenses of the house. every dollar else going into the purse of the coruioram. star, woo uouo -sonal expenses to satisfy.

This, together with tbe caDriciousneas oi a puouc iui is not always in the humor to be pleased, even with the better class of entertain ments, has defeated the purpose si tne management of the New Memphis, and prevented the Theater from being a navine success. The management of the New Memphis have fully, to their own nausiaoouu, both the starring system and the peculiarities of tbe Memphis public. This season they will do without the one, at least in great measure, ana win enuesvor to win the public patronage to more paying purpose by a different class of amusements. As thev have commenced the season, now in its second week, so they will continue it, with a variety show," differing only in a degree oi respociauimy from what "variety shows" are generally. The lewd sonm.

smirkiugs, oglings, winkings and inuendoes which are the ol'jectloname pane oi tne (wnunu-ances at variety shows will not and ara not here permitted, but we have many of the broad comic songs, much of the clog and other dancing, a great deal of the learlul trapeze periorm- 1 L. O', 1 auce i uiucu oi which anirssaU what is so illy concealed. This and much nonsensical fnn and some wit. with the original "Punch and Judy" are what we have at tbe Theater this week, and what we may expect if our play-going public patronize it as mey 13 MIDUt) mUUUaV, 11113 wnvi ment seems to meet the ponulsr demand. At least it fills the Theater and therefore pays.

To the exteut that It (foes nay. the management have made a decided hit. and may be able bv it to replenish their coners, so empty from last veaf's failure. It la not theman- agement, then, that is altogether to blame tor the absence irom our iui niu, nf thf, legitimate drama, but that portion of tbe public, the restless novelty-loving public whicn preiers to laugu umwi farce, pointless but broad wit.and'indulge their! desires bv feasting upon theforms of laughing Hebes. The theater is always wust tue puouc makes it.

Ours Is certainly what our public wills that it should be. vv nave not a cultivated public sufficiently fond of legitimate theatricals to support our theater in tue constant prsnasan the legitimate drama. Melancholy fart that it is, it is true. We cannot therefore complaint. We must accept the theater as is, contenting ourselves with urging the people to compel reform and patronizing only what is chaste and tends to the cultivation and improvement of all.

We are assured by the management tLat if our public will do this, tuey win susmiu them in the venture, we shall; not have reason to complain of tbe New Memphis stage. BUSINESS! BUSINESS!

From letter of Dr. Lewis A. Sayre, which we find in the Philsdelphis Scientific American, we take the following interesting extract on the subject of psvlng, which is well wortn tne attention oi our city authorities: "The objects sought in paving streets are cleanliness, health, comfort, facility of locomotion, the consequent saving ot time, istmr ana expenses of transporta tion. Psvement of stone does facilitate transportation, but at the expense of horse shoes, horse-flesh, sod of great wear and tear of verncies. Tne danger to rider and driver, on stone, is, to say at least, un pleasant, while tbe rattling and clattering noise, the side-tripping and sliding ol wheels, and slipping of horses, Is positive discomfort.

Besides, it has been estimated that the dirt from stone pavement exceeds hat from wood by at least one-third. Tins dirt contains, with otbej deletrions substances, pulverized stone, which enters the lungs in minute parti cles, and will sometimes make a lodg ment in tho most delicate membranes of the air-cells, and often create irritation and evon inflammation. On tbe other hand, wooilen pavements are easily kept clean, they are smooth and elastic, they give certainty of footing, ease of draught, and we ride, drive aud haul over them with little noise, with great ease, safety. comfort and satisfaction. Indeed, they so luliy nil all tbe requirements, that those who favor tbe stone make but one objection lo the wood, and that is want of durability.

Persons go out ol their way to get on wooden pave ments, ana universal exclamation is, This is tbe pavement we want, if it will only stand." If wood can only be preserved from decay it will "stand." From experiments lately msde in Europe snd America, I feel satisfied that tbe wood ran be preserved from decay. Coal tar contains certain ingredients which will preserve wood from decay, if properly applied. Carbolic acid, or tbe creosote of al. Is one of the finest antiseptics known, whether applied to animal or vegetable substances and this Is one of the ingredients of coal-tar. The mere dipping of wood Into coal-tar is not sufficient, more especially the case.

Because, in the lirst place, the coal-tar will not penetrate wood tilled with sap. In the next place, the crude coal-tar ujed turnishes covering similar to a coating of paint, and when fermentation in the sap takes place, and gases are generated, they are confined by this coating of coal tar, and dry rot ensues. It is a well-known fact that painting green wood makea it rot more rapidly. If, however, coal tar be applied in the form of vapor (aa, for instance, by the "Bobbins the heat will expel the moisture from the wood, coagulate the aibumnous portion of the sap, and tbe carbolic acid, in this sublimated form, will permeate the block and completely saturate it, thus preventing deoompoai-tion. By the use of wood thus treated, our pavements would be filled not only with an anltieptee, but with one of the best disinfectants known.

If it be thought wise to sprinkle the streets of New York and all the great cities of Europe, with water mixed with carbolic acid, because of its disinfecting properties, how much better to have the whole street laid with blocks of wood completely saturated with it! Dis'nfectanta, such aa chlorine permanganase of potash, or candy fluid. oxidize the gaseous products given off by putn faction, and all organic matters with wmch tney come in contact, wnne carbolic acid merely destroys the causes of putrifaction without acting upon the org.mic substances, me Former deals with tbe effects, the latter with the causes. A very small quantity of carbolic acid will prevent decomposition of substances, Being volatile, it meets with and destroys, acoordjng to Dr. ules Lemaire, the germs and sporules which doat in the atmosphere and vitiate it. The health of a city will be greatly promoted by laying the streets with wooden blocks, saturated with carbolic acid.

In the subject of pavemeula, you and 1 aim the who coin unity have a deep interest. This fact win turnisti apology ior so long a com muuication. New Whits River White Kiver Vtcksbart St. tAxaa J. Wicks f'auilns Carroll.

Jail Brkakkr. At bslf-past two o'clock yesterday morning, Captain Athey was riding down the alley way iu the rear of the Adamsjstreet statlon-honse, wbon he noticed a man running aneau oi mm. lie gsve chsse into Second, around into Washinarton street, down Main into the alley way, and down the alley way again toward second, wnen tne iugiiive wwa refuge under some carts. When the Captain approached him the fugitive raised bis hand to shy a brick at him. The Captain bloffed him off by a threat to shoot.

He dropped the missile, and consented to be led Into tbe etstion-honse. The fact then became apparent that the lock up bad been broken, and that another of the caged birds wss free. It appears that they had taken the handle out of a pick and concealed tba pick in the enormous leg of one of their boots, by which means they managed to take it into the cell with them, and remaining awake while the others slept, commenced operations after midnight. They pried oat two little plank situated over the iron lattice work, making an aperture through which they crept. Having got into tbe passage between tbe brick wall and the cells with a pick and a shove), they considered themselves all right and proceed-ed at once to open a hole directly under the ceiling adjoining a barred window which ran up the bight of the grownd story.

The second of the two had fust made his exit through this sperture ss Captain Atbey came upon the scene. Tbe fugalive was fined fifty dollars by tbe Recorder yesterday morning for mutila-ting city property. His condition ia now more than seven times worse than at first.

The station-house on Adams street ia a sort of hospital lor tbe refuge of men wbo have no place to sleep who are "houseless by night-'' ia sonsequence of the great msh of laboring classes southward along the valley of the Mississippi, during the fall months, a great number are thrown on this market most of them in penniless condition. It appears to be greater this fall than ever before.

Another class are those wbo have msde an essay to do something over in Arkansas and down the river, and became sick. These are very numerous also, and ooaie herein many oases only to die, as huuisn-It has made no provision for them here. With tbe nsnal short-sightedness of cramped intelligence and selfishnnss, number of people think that Memphis has no right to heed those who are fortuitously thrown upon her shores. Last night seven men took refuge from the dampness of night in we staiiou-nouse. One of tbefti was very sick bad been brought In a hack to the county hospital on an order from Justice Miller, but wonld not be received.

Ha waa brought back and thrown on the floor of the Recorder's court to groan away in his pain all night with the others. This is how some people live. ff Mules ai Horses.

A company of Northern capita) ists hsve taken etiarire of the road from Port Royal. the great harbor between Charleston and Savannah, and announce their purpose to have a continuous air hue road from fort Royal through Memphis to Kansas City. This road from the Atlantic passes Ope- like, Tuscumbia and across Alabama to Meinpbia, its resources aud tortures are discussed wnn great interest py tne press of eutrai Alabama.

A great crowd, with many of our merchanta interested in tun irauo oi Aiaoama ana In the perfection of our railroad sy stem. will attend tho meeting. By the way, the lact that an air ltno road to Savannah from Memphis ia already amply endowed and will be rapidly built, is not generally appreciated or understood In this city.

Wk are glad to state that the question of railroads and other internal improve meats oan hardly enter into tne canvas in our sister State of Alabama in the ap proaching election. The Democrats of that State, as well as Radicals, sre fully and wisely committed to the policy oi State aid to railroads, the nrst state aid bill wss passed by the Democratic Le-gislsture in 18d7. In 18tW snd isrjy, the amount for which the Stste sgreed to indorse the bonds of tbe various companies was increased to per mile. This bill wss yoled for by members of the I irrespective of party bv Dumocrats as well as Radicals. At the last session of the Legislature this gene ral law was so smended ss to extend tbe time of building the lirst twenty miles of railroad, which was nuuirea he tore get liu" any indorsement, to November, 1871.

This bill was voted for by the Democrats in the Legislature as well as tbe Radical members. Special aid, over and above the xio.uuo per mile, was granted to several roads, among them the Alabama and Chattanooga, the North and South, and the Montgomery and Eufaula, besides $2 500,000 lor the use of the Montgomery and Mobile road, nearly tbe whole of which waa already completed. For most of these bills the Democrats in the Legislature, as well aa Radicals, voted. They voted wisely in so doing, and will be sustained by their enlightened constituents. The Mobile liegxsier tne wmg, ureens-boroUKh Beacon, West Alabamian, and we might add nearly all the leading and influential Democratic journals in the State have ably advocated county sub scriptions to railroad enterprises.

The Hon. R. B. Lindsay, the popular and elo quent candidate ior governor on tne uem-ocratio ticket, has always been an earnest friend of railroad enterprises snd is now a director in the Memphis and Savannah road, one of the moat important in that State. He was a member of the Commer cial Convention ill this city and took an active part in favor of public improvements, not only by the State bat by the Federal Government.

This is now tbe true Southern position and must and will be sustained by the Southern people. We are glad to know that ine Kadioal party in Alabama are also in favor of tbe policy of aiding railroads in the South, and that upon this question there can be no issue in tnst state. LETTER LIST.

A meeting of steamboat owners took place in St. Louis on Monday, to take steps in reference to tbe question of wmirrsge. rue ixmocrai says: Mr. Peg ram was called to the. chair.

At the suggestion of Mr. John S. Me-Cune, Mr. M. A.

Bryson explained tho object ot tbe meeting to be to procure a reduction ot the exorbitant wharfage on the Western rivers. Tbe taxes on steamboats were burdensome In the extreme, and the meeting should put the machinery in motion to bring about a reduction of the wharfage. St. Louis com-; mauds 18,000 miles of navigation, aud tkei voice of her boat owners should be heard Mr. David R.

Powell addressed tbe meeting in a practical manner, giving interesting statistics that were convincing on the points urged. He said: "We skonld, in this matter of reduction, begin measures at home, aa here tbe steamboat Interest Is one of great importance. It is true that other points suffer from tbe same imposition. Look at Memphis, for instance; there oar New Orleans boats sometimes have to pay more than a hundred dollars if they Tiave halted beyond a certain short period, and yet steamboats bring money and business to Memphis. St.

Louis is the best place to begin the reform. I will speak of the line with which I am connected the St. Louie and New Orleans Packet Company. We have not made much money lately. A large proportion ol our receipts hsve been turned over to Sty Louis merchants and tbe crews of the boats, wbo necessarily spend moat of tber earnings here.

It would be idle to attempt the calculation of how mnch business the merchant marine brings to the city. The expenses of our boats average per trip to New Orleans and back, $10,000. Probably f7UO0 oi mat sum is expended nere. That Is, one line of boats spends here per year a million of dollars; the Memphis Packet Company pays oat ss much or more. Then there are the Northern Line, the Northwestern Union Line, the Keokuk Line, those to Omaha, Kino an Peoria and the Arkansas and Red river packet lines, besides numerous Independent hosts all spending money here.

1 think the total of disbursements from this source will amount to about twenty-five millions per annum. But the onerous taxation goes on, even when the rivers are so low that the boats are carrying very light cargoes and losing money. Billl the tax ia exacted to the utmost cent. "The building, repairing, painting and furnishing of steamboats and barges at mast amount to millions per year. And tor all this money expended In St.

Louis, are we treated kindly? We are kicked, buffeted and sneered at. I am not asking the abolition of wharfage charges altogether. Bat a redaction must be made. The benefits are mutual; therefore 1st the expense be mutually borne. We anould pay only a portion of the one-ens tax Imposed.

Mr. hi Vune believed it to be but just to psy fair compensation for the facilities granted, but not too much. An Immense amount has been from time to time diverted from the wharf fund from ths tax exacted from steamboats and nsed for other than whsrf purposes. The revenue amounts to about alOOJaJO per annum from the wharfage, and that ia too heavy. We anould have our desires piseed before tba City Council.

If that body In Its wisdom should refuse to pass the an per ordinance to effect the needed reform, then we ean take other steps. Mr. Powell moved the appointment of a committee ol three to draft a memorial to the City Council, embodying tbe wishes of tbe meeting, after a reduction Of tbe wharfage, and a statement of tbe benefits that acme to tbe city from tne running of a team ho ate The resolution wss adopted. Tbe committee consists of Messrs. Powell, Mo di nc and Bryson.

JJarore the adjournment, Mr. Hryson aldreesed tbe meeting in some Interesting remarks. He referred to tbe fact that free wharfage is one of the subjects to be discussed at the convention to be held in Cincinnati on October 4th, and spoke of a decision rendered on tbe sub- je in which Baltimore was interested. Me assorted that lawyers hold the opinion that wharves have the same statue aa atreots, etc. Tbe boatrneu seem to have taken bold of tills subject in the proper way, and will, without doubt, succeed in securing what they desire, st no distant day.
