Arrest and Imprisonment oftho iuiiora oftho Avalanclie.

AspecisI dispatch to the 'LouisvIlle Courier, Item Memphis, dated Tuesday, Messrs. Galloway, Rhea, and ausky, editors of the' Avalanche, were arrested to-day by order of Radical Judge Hunter, and pmt In prison for criticising his Judicial corruption. The Judge bad been liberating negroes on straw ball in orner to secure voles. They wUl have a hearing tomorrow at 10 it." The'artlde contamiasr' the allusions to' Hunter appeared In the: Avelaneh of Is In substance as follows: Saturday, in the Criminal Court, the esse of John Ilcnry was up, on application for a new It will be recollected that this black desperado, soma time since, broke into Lyons, Fles it dry goods store, corner of Mam and Jefferson streets, and stole from thence a quantity' of dry roods. An application was mads' Saturday or new trial-, and the Judge concluded to grant It, provided he could give bail in the sum of fjiMWO for Ida atmfaranee.

IT both op together, was worth tweniy-fl ve Immediately after they had signed the bond, an order was Issued for bis release, and his friends started to convey iu uuu us giui uuioga.

Ufli on the Matropolitan Polico force we ban pea to have some siocle minded and honesl officers, who pay more attention to doing their duty thsn to cultivating the negro fur the purpose of securing their votes. Knowing the facts. Sergeant Brown arrested one of the bondsmen on tbe charge of perjury, and asked him where the other one was, when he pointed across the street to Wm. The negro noticed the motion, and knowing his guilt, immedia'ely, btoke and run. Tbe officer placed -bis prisoner In safe hands, and immediately, gave chase.

The negro ran down the 'alley between Second and and for an. amateur he made good time, but the law was at bis heels, and he was finally brought to bay on the corner of Third and Court streets, snugly enscouded underneath a bed. He was taken, out and conveyed to ihe Central station-' This is bat one sampled among a of the manner in which Hunter turns' negroes loose, alter they have been arrested for the perpetration or crimes the code or Tennessee. It his bora nip atmnst tmnoaslhle la envict and punish a negro before this court, as Hunter would sooner allow a dozen crimes to go unpunished that one vote should be lost to his party. This is so, and it always will be so lonj as the Jnilirn nartiun.

ReechsTiir 'Mavor. on Tbundav eve ning last, was, perhaps, tbe richest farce ever enacted In this city. Tbe crowd present showed that the 'aspirants for glory, honor anil posidon, had been very -loduitrioos in rallying their respective friends, and the enthusiasm manifested, on every conceivable pretext showed slto that a great fuedi existed between the antagonistic factions From the time the doors opened until Ihe close of tbe meet- simmered and stewed. Indeed, the meeting seemed to be a great political Sanhedrim, made npofadozen hostile parties, while each party wss divided into ssmany antagonistic actions. It stands without arunlltl Id modern limes.

Ob, it was a humiliating sight to see tbe Judicial eimine wbTch lie wears across bis navrorluy shoulders bedraggled in the mire ot filth.

Bat there stood Hunter, like "sounding brass and tinlfline symbols," seeming to congratulate himsell upon his sudden and unexpected rise from nothingness into tbe dreamy splendocthatisur-1 rounded blm.

O.T.: Vnnr Commuleo on Uie "State of the Order" most respectfully submit the fol lowing icpun Our Order has we trust sained a foothold In our beloved Stale, from which our enemies cannot dlslodgo us, but we feel sensibly and desire to impress Jupoa this Grand Lodge the importance or commenc- locangui. Wo would recommend that the G. W. C. T.

be Instructed immediately on his loslal-latlou. to appoint auch Dtsitict and State uepuuei aa na mayueem oesi, ana uiu the spreading of tho Order should occupy all our attention until the meeting of the next Grand Lodge.

Your commiltee would also recommend that as soon as the finances will permit, lecturers be seat into tho field, but that the lecture system for the first Grand Lodge year be left to the discretion ot the Executive Committee.

We believe, that bv the adoption ot a platform which shall be the embodiment or our sentiments on this great moral question, we can concentrate our power and accomplish more than by any other means. Therefore, be It JUtolvctL, That we regard intemperance as the greatest of all the curses to which humanity is heir, and as tbe great' arch enemy of morality religloa, which must be conquered before ths church can accomplish her Toll mission.
