Same of you will remember when it eoet more to convey a bale of cotton frcrc the Memphis and Charleston railroad depot to the river than from the rivet oant to New Orleans ; and when a car- riage eould not pass through the priuoi-n- l 6treeta. Dunne tne year seven anu a uaii miie. or 177.403 vanSe, of Nioholeon and atone pavement has been laid at a cost tn toe ana property owners 01 ?Ji,- - 469 &2. In tho same tiaie 127 suite, to wbich the cily w&a a parly, have been lilieatcd. 126 of which were Rained bv the elty, aud a large number settled and a further accumulation of cost therebj prevented. The navy yaid property, wbieh was held by the General Govern ment as captured and Tinsnunneu prop erly, ami lor tne restoration or wnicu sd attorney fee of 540,000 had bpeu offered, has been restored to tne city without cost. and on such conditions as to warrant the uope tbr.t a reasonable rent will he paid by Uie uovernmeut tor its use wnuo so oscupied. One year ago cur city uctlp uraa wcrcn ssi. on tne uouar ; now it le worth JJOe. City bonds with several dur eonpoaa attached, were then worm leas man. aui.; now niey are worth more than EOc.

Then we were paying interest at a rate of 24 per cent per annum ; now wo are paying cn an average lem than half that amount. Ail this iiss been iceornpnsued d urine a yesr of unprecedented financial strin gency and consequent depression of all branches of business, while the coming year promisee to be one of unusual pros or these good results, being merely an executive officer, I can claim no credit for myself, but cheerfully ac- cord to your vigilance and prac tical legislation tne honor to which you are oleatiy entitled, ft ie, howeve1-- , vith feelitgw of gratitnde and pride that I remember the liberal support my views have at all times received at your haudp. and that no event has occurred to die ... . . 1 i j i lupt een or v. iiicimtjiii iuo uuu oontidenliai relations that have existed between w, and while exprtsjing my thanks for tuis support, npd for the ccur-tae- y, promptness and efllciency that hat chariscterizrd the conduct of all the city officers, I must lie allowed especjiliy to tUiuk the " Finance Committee " for the sound judgment and indomitable energy that ban time and again carried us through seemingly insurmountable obbtiiiew, We cannot ba unmindful of our re- sponsibility ' to those who-- 8 ,'nlereeta we represent, nor ungrateful for their valua- ble counsel, but during the performance of tue cnOfi onerous dutiee, aod investi- gations of this sfiOQ t intricate qtu-stion- s ol polioy, we havo been faor,ed with much gratuitous advice often without a nice regard for taste and sometimes Igno ranee hss blindly impugned our mo- tives. Thia advire coming mainly from those who have not mauifeeted capacity to iuccewflly copduct their own buei ne&s, we have received al Us value, and disregard tho Biius'oWfo bad motives, knowiiiir that the moral courage which dares to do right, regardleuu cf such in- fluences, will dispel the olouda of doubt thus raised, as the rising sun dissolves the jwnrnjne vappr.

The rigiu aaou-om- y that was practiced with audi bene- ficial and encouraging result during the first few months of the past year has been too far departed from and ought to be promptly resumed. Thlo- - departure was ao gradual end insignificant in detail as to be almost lmpereeptld.e; while in the aggregate its elTecla on our lescuroee i3t?oJy felt.

Tnis was dohe for two good and sufficient reasons; first, because the money it will bring is needed to pay debts that cannot from any other known source be provided for; second, because tbejtale insures tho completion of the road in on year, a desideratum not oth- erwise to be obtained. Ha of the stock in the MiasIsMppt und Tennessee Railroad would insure or haaten the building of the Misslsrippi Valley and Pdduoah Itiilroad, I would urge its sale ateo, in fooa of and fully comprehending the seemino opposition tthe measure. Oor railroad stocks were not takon wltii any hope of receiving direct dividend therefrom, but for ihe sole purpose of desirablerailroad communications and much as we hear and read of im nciu prospective dividends, uo sensible man expects an, beypnd such as enter- prising business talent will gather from the new fields that will be opened to U6 J,iv their completion. But beyond, and far phoyp a!J this, corporations, no more than iudivjdtnio, have tho moral or legal right to hold and own stocks nnd other rtiat can be disbenaed with while needy creditors are deprived 0.' their jut dues.

Ha redacted on the Insolent and arrogant sneers of the Mayor's message ebout the newspapers, and said that the papeia vere right in informing the citi-y.?u- 8 about the dolrs of Individuals in the Board. By a course of argument he showed that if there was money in this stock to private individuals, there waa money in it to the jity of Memphis, and it was, therefore, in acoordancij with he; true financial policy to keep it. He prof.oscU. Jf Ike city had to sell her stock to pay her debts, not to let one man or one set of men havo the only cnanco to buy, out put it up al public auction and sell it to fae highest bidder. Referring to the gemiemcFi wuu i(jupu tup pcijiiuu juai. road by Alderman Passmore, he eulo-g- ij d them as tho very best end jlrst men of our community. He asked, in corjclufcloD. that as the property belonged to the people, and they had voted on the pppfoprjajion purchasiug it, that they, the people,' bayo fn,prt.r;:;Uy of voting upon ts final disposition, apt tfiat thp.

Alderman Rennet oppqseij tbg refer- ence, and asked the gentle men maKhiff the motion to withdraw It, and allow the petition to como up, so that the Board voiij take the dilemma by the horns. To settle controversy for tue time, Al- derman Passmore withdrew the Refjtlpp fpr the present, RESOLPTPJjg.

The resolution was laid on the tshjc, unanimously, so quickly that the "resolver 'J did r not havo time to reclaim It. Alderman Passmore thou CAliecJ up Ant commcTiced the discussion of that por- tion of the Mayor's mesatg?, and the Inclosed document, relative to the salo cf tha city's bonds in tho Utile Rock Rail- road; bat owing tho laieneed of the hour, and the retii i jg of rveral members from the Board, a further consideration wai postponed uutii this evening at four o'clock. THE COjOIISSIOXEUSIBIP. A New Tor licauiiiont'rf Prcacliiisfr and Prajins. Solongrtiimo has olap3ed sinco our worthy Chief cf Police, Cl. Beaumont, was called by tho Little Rock Railroad to take charge of itd Interests, and so muck was said on the sul ject of hfc suc- cessor at the time, that tue matter be- came stale and uninteresting, and for some time past we have had 00 rumors even as to whom or upon whom would fell tho mantle of his' office. . Each of the candidates for the honor flourished a brief day, was tho subject of a telegram or two from or to Nashville, end then fell into oblivion. Yesterday, however, tho city was startled by the announcement that tho man and tho hour had met. The new Beaumont bad been found. A man whose plethoric leg?, and well developed understandings would exactly fill tho vscant breeches and ehoes, had turned up atlvnoxville. Itwas even whispered that he had already received the ap- pointment, nnd would enter upon tiie duties immediately. This nowa set everybody on a tipb e of expectation as to who tho new F- - uehe Could be, and at lust It leaked cu. that the nows had come by telegraph to a nigu pouco oinciai, iroru tuo private sec retary of the Governor, and that the "coming man" was the lt9v. W. H Pearne. Tnis individual, whom rumor thus pakes our Chief of Police, is a scalawag parson, a iianger-o- n or Jiiton's, the carpe- t-bag Superintendent of Public Ednca tion. It was but a day or two ago that we saw it announced mat Urownlow had appointed him his successor as "Senior Elitor" of thoKnoxvilie Whig. These two last facts speak volumes as to his moral fitness for the position. WoundeHtaud that he has already made out a programme cf ?' how the ma- chine is to bo run" aa soon as ho takes tho ermino upon him. Tho first move will be to capturo the ironclad und kin dred institution, and ransom the in mates,.-- . The Varieties, Gayetief, steam matrf nnd free lunch houaes are next to bo blackmailod, and if a sul'leient sum 19 not paid, to be suppressed. Tho Po hce fcrco are to be made attend prayers throu times a day, aud sing a psaim at roll call, mornit'g and evenirg, Tho unifirms are to be changed from blue to black, with white cno&ers, aud tuo Hair of Uie oUlcors nnd men of tbo forco is to ba cropped close. The following motto is to be placed over tne uesK in easu sta'ionuouse : " There's nary honest mac on earth, And ecarcely ono in hoaveu." A very stringent police code 13 to be adopted the blue laws of Connecticut to form the basis. Due allowance will be mado to Radical clergymen on sprees, and rooms at One of tho many popular resorts spoken of above, will bo retained for them by the month.

Tho meetingcilled for yesterday after- noon, at Mound City, of tho rofugee from Arkansas, and their friends, was on maturer consideration dispensed with, and, instead, yesterday morning a Joint cornniitteo tf citizens of Memphie, Mis- sissippi and Arkansas, with M. E. Coch- ran, Esq , as chairman, wont over tp Marion to confer with the militia forces. We understand that tho committee, to tho number of nine, went hence to Mound City, where thoy found horses prepared for them, andthnco thoy went to Marion under a ll:g of truce. Here th-- found the militia as 'I fortified around the Jill. The fcrtiti extend from the lake to thopu .? csjuare, enclosing the jail, and aro represented as quite formidable, at least to 11,1'antry without artillery. They consist of an earthwork about eight feet thick, and palisades, with ditch on the insiitu, running around the Jail on three side?,, tho lake formiug the rear de- fense. Tr.o jiil is further fortified by a second lino of redoubts which complete- ly surrr.tmd it, and nukes it Impregnable to anv f jred without, artillery. The militia are in f-i- ir companies, nnd when thoy first arrived did not number more tbau ninety, or at lurtnesr, a hun dred men, but havo been re- cruited since they arrived up to antut three hundred. They aro of every ag- - frcm mere boys of twelve years of age up to drcrepid old men white and black indiscriminately, and aro "uniformed " in every descriptipn ol toeceiy. The cillcers met the. committee, and ir.tirinul iltao that they wero sent to the place for a Hprc litj rfurnose. when they accomplished which they would leave, and not tiil theu. This specific purpose was the arrealor twelvecitlzsns, four of whom thy already had in jail. They had sent to Little R ck for 150 cavalry with which they in- tended to scour tbe country and catch tho other eight. They refused to give tho names of the parlies or the crimes they are accused of, They informed tho Cornniitteo futher that two citizens had been famished with a written parole, at the request of meuiuasup, nuu lusuunm mem iu gu iu lho3e parties who are anticipating or agi- tating an attack upon the militia, and beg theui to desist. Any attack would uow 19 only "hooping coals of lire" upon tho already totally prostrated and helpless community. Great Reduction ! Great Reduction! Clothing at cost !

Tho Ratter habeas corpus case came up for hearing agnitiou yesterdy, befoj-- e Judgo Hnnter, of tho Criminal Court, upon the demurrer of the counsel for the defense to tho return of the officer. Af- ter a lengthy and protracted argument of the various questions of law involved in the case, the demurrer was overruled, and the cose continued for further hear- ing relative to the question of ball, until this morning. An application will then be made to admit Mr. Rutter to bail for bis appearance before the Crimi- nal Ccurt of Nashville upon tho first day of the next term. The capias under which the arrest of Mr. Rutter was made presents the singular anomally of containing no less thau four distinct mdseparato charges, each constituting tu offense of different degres and each punishable iu a separate and distinct manner. Tbo Court, in consequence of this mr.nifes'. Jrfect in tho capias, fouud it difficult t determine upon which of ihese charges it would be proper to act upun lu biadlng Mr. Rutter over, bat finally determined upon the charga if embezzlement, regarding the others as mere turp'.usage and having no legal effect.

Mr. Hamilton aa " Jamea Fitz Jamep," Mr. Higgina as "Roderio Dhu," Mrs. Lanagan as " Ellen," and Mrs. Taylor as "Blanche," wero all most excellent, and the houso more thau oiico showed thoir appreciation of caoh character. The play for this evening is 'Ihe Streets of New York, for the benefit of Mr. Ham- ilton. Wo hope the house may be crow- ded, and that the benefit may be a rou er, for never did an actor merit more at the hands of a theater going public than Mr. Hamilton.

Solongrtiimo has olap3ed sinco ourworthy Chief cf Police, Cl. Beaumont,was called by tho Little Rock Railroadto take charge of itd Interests, and somuck was said on the sul ject of hfc suc-cessor at the time, that tue matter be-

came stale and uninteresting, and forsome time past we have had 00 rumorseven as to whom or upon whom wouldfell tho mantle of his' office. . Each ofthe candidates for the honor flourished abrief day, was tho subject of a telegramor two from or to Nashville, end thenfell into oblivion.

Yesterday, however, tho city wasstartled by the announcement that thoman and tho hour had met. The newBeaumont bad been found. A manwhose plethoric leg?, and well developedunderstandings would exactly fill thovscant breeches and ehoes, had turnedup atlvnoxville. Itwas even whisperedthat he had already received the ap-pointment, nnd would enter upon tiieduties immediately.

This nowa set everybody on a tipb e ofexpectation as to who tho new F- - ueheCould be, and at lust It leaked cu. thatthe nows had come by telegraph to anigu pouco oinciai, iroru tuo private secretary of the Governor, and that the"coming man" was the lt9v. W. HPearne.

Tnis individual, whom rumor thuspakes our Chief of Police, is a scalawagparson, a iianger-o- n or Jiiton's, the carpe-

t-bag Superintendent of Public Edncation. It was but a day or two ago thatwe saw it announced mat Urownlow hadappointed him his successor as "SeniorElitor" of thoKnoxvilie Whig. Thesetwo last facts speak volumes as to hismoral fitness for the position.

WoundeHtaud that he has alreadymade out a programme cf ?' how the ma-chine is to bo run" aa soon as ho takestho ermino upon him. Tho first movewill be to capturo the ironclad und kindred institution, and ransom the inmates,.-- .

We understand that tho committee, totho number of nine, went hence toMound City, where thoy found horsesprepared for them, andthnco thoy wentto Marion under a ll:g of truce.Here th-- found the militia

as 'I fortified around the Jill.The fcrtiti extend from the laketo thopu .? csjuare, enclosing the jail,and aro represented as quite formidable,at least to 11,1'antry without artillery.They consist of an earthwork about eightfeet thick, and palisades, with ditch onthe insiitu, running around the Jail onthree side?,, tho lake formiug the rear de-fense. Tr.o jiil is further fortified by asecond lino of redoubts which complete-ly surrr.tmd it, and nukes it Impregnableto anv fjred without, artillery.

The militia are in f-i-ir companies, nnd

when thoy first arrived did not numbermore tbau ninety, or at lurtnesr, a hundred men, but havo been re-

cruited since they arrived up toantut three hundred. They aro ofevery ag- - frcm mere boys of twelveyears of age up to drcrepid old menwhite and black indiscriminately, andaro "uniformed " in every descriptipn oltoeceiy.

The cillcers met the. committee, andir.tirinul iltao that they wero sent tothe place for a Hprc litj rfurnose. whenthey accomplished which they wouldleave, and not tiil theu. This specificpurpose was the arrealor twelvecitlzsns,four of whom thy already had in jail.They had sent to Little R ck for150 cavalry with which they in-

tended to scour tbe country and catchtho other eight. They refused to givetho names of the parlies or the crimesthey are accused of,

They informed tho Cornniitteo futherthat two citizens had been famishedwith a written parole, at the request ofmeuiuasup, nuu lusuunm mem iu gu iulho3e parties who are anticipating or agi-tating an attack upon the militia, andbeg theui to desist. Any attack woulduow 19 only "hooping coals of lire"upon tho already totally prostrated andhelpless community.

New Memphis ---A yery fair housegreeted the Lady of the Lake last night,at thia, our par exce7ice,place of resort.Mr. Hamilton aa " Jamea Fitz Jamep,"Mr. Higgina as "Roderio Dhu," Mrs.Lanagan as " Ellen," and Mrs. Taylor as"Blanche," wero all most excellent, andthe houso more thau oiico showed thoirappreciation of caoh character. Theplay for this evening is 'Ihe Streets ofNew York, for the benefit of Mr. Ham-ilton. Wo hope the house may be crow-ded, and that the benefit may be a rouer, for never did an actor merit more at

the hands of a theater going public thanMr. Hamilton. Ho is a gentleman inevery sense of the word, and a most excellent actor one whose modesty aloneis an mat prevents nis being a "star."
