The Hibernian Association will hold a meeting to-night. The Andrews Eros', new building is beginning to loom up in substantial proportions. Hot was the general verdict yesterday, which increased the demand lor handkerchiefs and collars. The negro "field was out last night parading the streets, but for what purpose we couldn't ascertain. There will be service in the Baptist church on next Sabbath, the repairs having sufficiently advanced to admit of it.

The nectar and ambrosia of the old fogy gods was nothing compared to Podesta's ice cream and soda water, served by fairy bauds. The Parish Court is in session at Delta, and hereafter the sale of Vicksburg beer will be prohibited in the vicinity of the Conrt-bouse.

"Workmen are engaged in taking up the cable which crosses the river at a point below the Compress. A new one will be laid in a short time opposite Delta. Time and river ravages have destroyed the usefulness of the old one.

You should be careful about sleeping on the gallery these hot nights unless the same is protected by railings. A Jackson street citizen tried it the other night and rolled off to the ground several feet below, causing a sore head from which he has not recovered. Hickman, who occupies a confidential position with the Montgomery's, says they have nothing to do with the whisky mill in the old postoffice building that it is his enterprise. Very well, but Hickman is Thornton Montgomery's "man Friday." However, we have no objection to the saloon as long as it is kept orderly.

Brown lias rendered, in vacation, a decision concerning the validity of the bonds issued to the projected but not constructed, railroads with objective points at Vicksburg, concerning which the following synopsis maybe of interest: Edward H.

Lombard against the City of -Vicksburg. Tbe plaintiff is tbe owner ol certain hnuds issued by tbe city ol Vicksburg in I 1TJ, as a loan to tbe Memphis and Vicks- burg liailroad Company, in pursuance of the act ot the Legislature of April 5. lsli Tbe city refused to pav the interest due for and tbe plainutl tiled hU petition for a mandamus to compel tbe Mavor and Aldermen to levy a tax for tbat purpose. fiy agreement or counsel, tue case va- beard by Jude Brown in acation, his judgment to he entered iip as of tbe last I term of the Circuit Court. It was urjrod tbat tbt; bonds were void lor tbe (ollovvinsf reasons: 1st.

Tbat they" were issued by Hoard of Mayor and Aldermen appointed by liov. Alcorn, while tbe Charter required tbe Board to be elected. -1k. Tbat tbe Hoard had no power to issue tbe bonds so that they should be negotiable. iid.

That even sumOMmr such power to exist, it was not exercised by tbe Board, ut the selection of tbe form of the bonds was left to a bond committee. 4th. That under the Constitution, of the Slate, tbe bonds could onlv be issued after tbe proposition had been sanctioned by a i vote ol two-thinls ot tbe vjuauneu voters ol tbe city; and that in fait the necessary vote was not irhen. In support of this objection tbe eity rei'- (ration book and corporate records were tiered in evideuee. ttb.

That tbe bonds were not inthe form required by the barter. livid: 1st. lbat tbe apiHtintmcui iiv lit.y. Aleoru uf tbe Mayor and Aldermen who issued the bonds, was lejral. id.

That the Board had the power to make them negotiable in form. Ul. While- the form of the bonds was in the tirst instance selected by a committee. yet that the choice of tbe committee a approved by tbe Board, and in enVet the selection ol the form was made by Ibcm, and not the committee. 1th.

hat notwithstanding the constitu tional two-thirds vote was nt iven in favor ol tbe bonds, yet, that inasmuch as the bonds on their face recited that they were issued in conformity to law. that tbe phuiititl who was a bona iide holder, wit li nt am actual notice ot anv delects or ir regularities in their issuance, was entitled to recover; that where a corporation has power under any circumstances to issue negotiable securities, the bona tide holder hasariirbtto presume they were issued under the circumstances which jrive the rc-juisite authority, and they are no more lialile to be impeached lor any intirmity in tbe bonds of such bolder tinili any other commercial paper. otb. Tbat the form iu which tbe bonds were roiristered wasasutlicicnt compliance with tbe requirements of the charter. Tbe same points were presented in the case of J.

V. 1. Gardner airainst the city which was a suit bv mandamus on the bonds Issued to the Yiekshurir, Pensacola and Island Railroad, and similar rulings made. Tbe sam'i points except the one as to the two-tniru vote, were made in another case ol Kdward 11. Lombard, against the city, men was a suit on improvement lu-ims.

The additional point was made bv the citv in this case, that the bond- sued on were sold by tbe Mayor and Aldermen, while under tbe charter they could nlv be is sued iu finidiiiir citv indebtedness as in pavment of work done for the city. -fuilire iirown construed tbe charter dit- ferently, maiutaiuin tbe power of the Mayor and Aldermen to sell them, to raise money tvi improve the citv. In all these cases a peremptory mandamus was ordered. The oily will appeal to the. Supreme court.

The plain tills were represented by Messrs. Catehinsrs fc In'rersol, Attorneys of this bar, and the city by Warren Cowan. 'I" lie Peninsula. A Herald reporter, accompanied bv Capt. James 31.

beaties, civil engineer, and Dr. J. II. D. Bowinar, visited the peninsula opposite the city yesterday to examine the -caving" during the past season.

The first measurement, on a line parallel with the cross levee, south of DeSoro, showed a distance from river to river of seven hundred and seventy-five teet. The large and prominent cottonwood tree is distant from tbe western shore two hundred feet and six hundred feet from the eastern side- The shortest distance across the peninsula was on a line with the north end of the Vicksburg and Meridian Kailroad cotton yard, winch was found to be seven hundred feet There is but little caving at present and that more uniform than has been noticed for years. A year atro when the peninsula was measured by Capt. Searles and other engineers, accompanied by the Herald reporter, the shortest distance across was found to be a little over twelve hundred feet.

She refused pork at Cincinnati for Memphis at 75 cts per bbl, and now the question arises what will she get on that oil and cake which has heretofore been going lrom Memphis so cheap.

Jas. S. Wise is a candidate for County Treasurer of Hamilton county, Captain Gus. Hodge is in Lsuieville, looking after hie new Bayou Bartholomew packet Tom Parker. He expects to have her ready for business at New Orleans about the middle of August.

She has capacity for 500 bales of cotton. The Cincinnati Commercial savs: -'Captain O. P. Shinkle, for merly of the Chas. Bodmaun, has closed the contract with the Marine Ways for building the hull of his new stern-wheel steamer for the Cincinnati and New Orleans trade.

The new boat will be about the dimensions of the Cherokee, only a little longer. It will be 250 feet long, US feet beam, with feet hold, and will be provided with new machinery by C. T. Dunmont, consisting of three boilers ib inches in diameter and feet long, containing 9-inch flues, the cylinders being 17- inches in diameter, with 7 leet stroke. The new steamer will be completed by the 1st of October." The Cincinnati Com mercial says, also "Captain Chas.

P. Truslow and Charlie Drown have con tracted with Dan. Morton, at Madison, for a new steamer lor the Xcw Orleans and Red river trade, to be readv for the Fall trade.

If wc remember rightly, the river editor of the Times for whom the Koll-ingpin' was named, presented that boat with a set of $400 colors.

As the boat aud outfit sold lor what the colors cost, it is reasonable to presume that the colors cut quite a figure iu the value of the concern."
