The County Court Committee on the Barbour Lewis warrants was in session this forenoon. Joe Locke has all kinds of news goods, magazines, pictorials and daily pnpers, at 236 Main street. The Robert Lee or Katie if turned athwart the stream would almost bridge the Mississippi at thii point. A Memphis horse, owned by Seligman 4 Hall, oarried off the first premium at the Jackgon Fair for fust trotting. Thirty-three cages were heard by Re corder Scales this forenoon. The docket contniucd nothing of public interest At two o'clock this afternoon the case of P. C. Mahan, indictment for grand larceny, will be investigated before the Criminal Court. The fresh, bracing wind from the south west, which prevails every morning sug gests a change of garments in the shupe of overcoats, eto. The cool weather prevailing at night induces the homeless wanderers of Mem phis to seek lodging at the well known hostelrie, the station-house. The bed of the river in front of Hope field, Arkansas, is used by the denizens of that burgh as a public promenade, where they gather shells by starlight. A grand calico dress ball will be given at the Memphis Club Hall, on Thursday evening, the 23d inst., by the members of the I'nited Hebrew Relief Associa tion, Several hundred fruit-loving durkies were on Union itreet this forenoon pur chasing damaged apples, which were sold at auction at from fifty cents to one dollar per barrel. Some chaps out hack riding on Main street, near Bcal, lust night, enlivened that locality by shooting off their pintols at telegraph poles, an amusement rather dangerous to pedestrians. Captaiu Mahan'g patent steam canal boat, it is said, will carry off the $100, 000 prize offered by the State of New York for a propeller to navigate the canals of the Empire State. J. C, Pickett was placed under $2000 bonds this afternoon by Justice Miller on the charge of borrowing a horse from a colored man and disposing of the steed in Jhis city. During the week ending at neon re ceipts of cotton here were 10,5.11 bales. Shipments 12,499, and sales 11,700 bales. Memphis will be second in the great cot ton markets this season. To-morrow the citizens of Shelby county will decide whether or not they will ratify the proposition of the County Court to indorse the bonds of the Kaleigu Rmlwnv ComDanv to the amount of $50,000. Mansford, corner of Secoud and Mon roe, receives daily New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Nashville, St. Louis an Louisville papers, and all the popular illustrated weeklies, aud tbo leading magazines. Esnnrn Sncllman issued a warrant against two unknown white 'men thi forenoon on the charge of swindling a countryman, John Batontac, out twenty dollars at the Navy Yard cotton shed. The swindlers are supposed to be Chicago thieves. Ancgro roustabout on the levee struck a cotton clerk yesterday. The ileecy staple man ni too light to engage in ring fight, and had no concealed weapons wherewith to sacrifice the nigger to th manes of outraged dignity. Tho nconle of Grenada, Miss., will have the pleasure of enjoying a publ luinoinir todiv. A colored man wh hnd casually killed his wife was solecte by a committee of twelvo at tlio inst term of court to enact tho principal role, Non-residents of Memphis who ow real estate in the city can vote at every unicipal election the property quali fication, instead (if residence, being the test invented by the last Legislature an, ncorpornted in tho revised charter ol the city. Remember that tho fifty thousand dol lar bonds of tho Haleigh road which th country is asked to indorse will be am ply secured by lands enhancing in value, and by a cash subscription of more tha thirty thousand dollars. Vote for the country. The principal thing to prove in murder trial in Memphis, in order to clear the murderer, is that the victim although unarmed was seen to throw his hand back" toward that mysterious hip pocket, supposed always to contai derringers. Graves and Poston will be before th, Crimiual Court to-morrow. Their conn gel, Colouel Bullock aud General Sale, ill be heard on the question of sever ance the motion for a change of venue having been abandoued. The prisoners prefer to be tried separately. Quita a large number of negroes were elected to fill official positions in Missis sippi on last Tuesday. Panola county is represented by two colored law' makers.

Captain R. G. Lowe, one of the editors of the Shreveport Southwestern, is the city for the purpose of having th proceedings of the late Shreveport Rail road Convention printed in pamphl, form. Captain Lowe acted as clerk the Convention while in session. The Real street cars stop at the Bayou bridge, where passengers change trains. The bridge hag been Uirn down, and a new one will be' erected without delay. Tha tearing down plan has revealed the mtunnesa and dancerouj condition of the old structure. It is sought to ropoal so niuch of the revised charter of Memphis as disquali fies citizeng under thirty years of age from holding the office of Mayor. This repeal Is for the beueGt of ambitious young men who wish to be Mayor, but who were born too late in the aeaaon.

The State Fair has been postponed in consequence kewiie the sessions of the courts. A euiphian who visited Jackson a few uys since did not like the appearance so many nckly looking people rapped up in blankets and hovering over fires. An illiterate male beggar astonished many Christian people on Main itreet yesterday by presenting a paper npon lich were written the words: Please give ten cents to a poor widow with a large family." It was very evident that he and the old woman had gotten their papers considerably mixed. The Circuit-Court room building was supposed to be on fire to-day. Dense volumes of smoke filled the court rooms d offices for several hours. Some chap in the basement story had built a re in the stove, not knowing that the ue was filled with loot, but the fact wag soon discovered by the Court officials in the upper stories. Something new in the shape of a turn out was noticed on Main street yester day. A splendid pair of black horses riven tandem, from the stable of Selig man k Hall, on Union street, was the attraction. Our city is adopting metro politan airs, and nothing but tandem teams will be fashionable here a month hence. While a crowd of negroes were having political demonstration near Nashville some days since, the anvil which they were firing exploded, instantly killing 8 Cumpboll and Jeptha Frost, aud dungerously wounding Morris Light aud D. W. Perdue. The anvil chorus hicli the above artist distinguished themselves will not soon be forgotten by tho audience. In the Seoond Chancery Court this morning Chancellor Scott dissolved the njuuctiou heretofore granted in the case of Tho City vs. McCoombs, which in unction prevented McCoombs from sell ng or transferring the city stock in the Missiasippi and Tennessee railroad amounting to $250,000. This ruling of Chaucellor Scott leaves McCoombs to dispose of the stock at pleasure for any purpose. Esquire Millers oibce Hible, upon which so many oaths, both true and false, have been sworn, was carried off, by some theoretical Christian yesterday in order to save the sublime text from fur ther indignity. Those who attend courts of justice in Memphis must sooner or later become aware of the melancholy fact that, Oatha are but word! and worda but wind- Too feeble inatruuienta to bind.

The probabilities of a rise in lhe up per streams being more favorable, and a quite a number of additional boat have commenced loading for the South at St. Louis, as noticed in our river telegram to-dey, freights from that city to this and other points below are re ported to have again declined to-day, and are still on the downward tendency. This will materially affect the prices of some articlos, while others will not suf fer. With the sudden cold weather in tho bog-raising country in tho North, it may sensibly affect the price of meat, as the killing season will have opened in earnest, and in Hour aud meal the prices 11 doubtless decline to a figure equal to the fall in freights.
