Mr. Norton, the candidate for council man In the Fourth ward, is one of the clearest -headed, most active, energetic bQriness men in the city. His personal habits and thoughtful, quiet, tireless at entton to every day duties deeignste him aa a fit representative of one of the mos. inte ligenl constituencies of Memphis. tie is one or ine son who win wj to those who have enough intelligence and virtue to estimate properly tbe qual ities that should distinguish a city legis lator. rhllewepby ol the Bualneae. W. B. Martin, Esq , a lawyer of first, no attainment and unsullied personal fame, has been induced by many of the best citixens of his (the fifth) ward to be come a candidate for councilman. If tbe twctiln would select candidates who can ana will serve the city, rather than them selves. Mr. Martin tbcuia neeieotea. ii i he office is to give honor to tne tnsn, Mr. Manin should not be cbosen. It has, un fortuuatolv, happened that candidates for office sometimes appear who would lis honored by an election. The people should seek the man, and uot the man the Deonle.

It is now significant word, and will be inscribed nnreaiier on tne oanners oi a party, ana ill find It place in tbe next edition of Webster's Unabridged. Whenever a wagon with a band of music on board, having inscribed on its aides I be name of a Radical candidate lor office, U driven about the street ol a city, and it ia proposed by the driver of thi team to pump windy thun der into a candidate who would boney fnggie and bamb.cx'e two classes of people by lrreeonciliable prejudices and agencies, the process will be called "col-foacyue-ing." If we could sup pose such a thing possible, that Pinob should lie down wlih Happy Hollow, this political marriage would be known as a case of "ool ioaoue ation." When a olerk of a county noun, born of such an unholy marriage, glvis fifty dollars, aa happened last Saturday, lo pay for the music de signed to celebrate auoh another proposed wedding, the oreheatra-lovlug people will dance with delight and call the charming mosio col-toatTwe-lng melody. Let us hsve it often. It is delightful and charm ing. Don't forget the word to "eol loague." It Is so nice. AMUSEMENTS. THE CHURCHES.

Father Burke, a had been announced, proa shad at laat mass In St. Peter's nhumh. vnaLerdav. to a verv lartre and ae- lect congregation. He read tbe gospel of tbe day from the nrst chapter ol St. John : "I am tbe voice of one orying in tbe des- ... 1 1 ... T-1. . .. I ,t t- , -Hn. ere, oao. xiie iiiaauau, ca.u ---, uui.ua, the season of advent, it waa the habit of tbe church, by ber teat thing, her cere monies and her liturgies, lo sound the note of preparation fur the proper oelebratlon of tbe great event which la oommemorated on Christmas day tie coming of the Son of Man. To appreci ate what a great blessing waa bestowed on mankind by that coming, it would be neoeaaary to reflect on the neoeaeity there was for it. When a great gain lollows on a great loss, to fully appreciate the one it La neeeaaery to realise the extent ol the other. The loss that man BUffared in the fall of Adam was dwelt upon with singular and felicitous effect. God created tbe world and made it a paradise, filled the earth, tbe sea and the air with living things and oountless forms of beauty, and then placed man thereon, clothed with the majesty of imperial power, and made in the likeness and image of his creator. Tbe intellectual and pbysioal capacities of man were fully gratified, and those capac ities were all pure, noble, holy, because, according to tbe rule of the Creator. He could look into tba very nature and attri butes of God and discover tbe infinite harmony of His law. His conversation waa with the Great Eternal. He felt no pain, no sorrow, no apprehension, no fear no want. There was nothing but internal joy and gladness, snd external pea e ard narmony. The divine music thrilled hia ear and tbe divine beauty gladdened his eye. He waa not to experience any pain no tear of sorrow waa ever to dim bis eye. Hia path was etrewn with dowers bis way peace and plenty. Ho was nover to taste the pang of death, but to pass on through a worlu of earthly dellghte lo the full possession of the Infinite Beautltude of toy. Every thing to him was a source of happiness. The whistling winds, the budding flower, and the rising morn were sources oi aengnt, because be was in hur mony with them, and there was no jsr, no incongruity; no unniiness, no discordant element in the universe. He was endovcod with free will It is one of the features of bis being in which be was like to God; and in as much aa God wss sovereign, was king, was lorn, homage from tins no ble creature, man, was India pensi cue mat uomage was obedience, this God required of him. Such waa the condi tion of the primitive man; sucb was to be tne condition of the human race. But man fell; be re volted against God ; he said in effect, "I will nol serve." He destroyed tbe bar mony that before existed. He became a rebel in God's house: and In as much as God loves Hia own law with infinite love for it ia infinitely good, he la compelled to hate what is op posed to it with infinite hatred the punishment, therefore, due to man for he rebellion was the infinite wrath ot trod Infinite because God is infinite. He can not be one thing in one place and another thing in another place. Eternal, because God is elernr', he cannot be one tbiug now and a uifforent thing at anoihe. , ime. the wrath ol God agalnBt crime was in finite and eternal. Adam became corrupt, sin entered into his blood. His nature was vitiated. He was a child of wrath. There was no more harmony for him. He walked no more with God, he con versed no more with Him. All things changed. Sin waa in the world. God withdrew his presence from the face of man and did not again reveal himself for four thousand years. What we lost in the great revolt of Adam was restored to us In the coming oi t nriai. God again visited tho earth. He appeared as a man to repair the inju ry done by Adam, to atone lor the revolt, to makepeace be.ween heaven and earth. Tbe wrath of God was infinite and eter nal. It could be satisfied with nolbiug loss than an infinite and eternal vie im. Infinite uaiicd demanded it. God is ihe ruler of tbe universe. His rule must be in finitely lust, and thai justice demanded an Infinite reparation fur tbe injaiy dyne. The atonement must always be equal to the irjury, or it is im perfect. Christ's ' work on earth waa a full atonement, it was equal to tbe in jury. It is perfect. Christ caice to de stroy the reign of sin, to relieve men. of bis weakness ; to hoai him of hi infirm ity. He aame in tbe cbaracter ot tbe fallen Adam to restore mankind to the happiness lost. He was clothed in the weakness of our humanity ; he cried as a child; he suffered the pangs of want. He dwell In the corrupted and Inharmonious world. He .talked to men, He touched them and they were healed. Hi) was merciful to the fallen Magdalen. He Buf fered. He wss made, as tbe prophet said, the servant ol the slavo and an out cast. He was a worm ol the earth. This is the great mystery, that God uoold so suffer; that God should so leave the realm of supernal beautitude and clothing himself in human flrsh and human w eak ness to redeem man from his fallen aiate, and again restore him to he favor of the Father. Here waa the great triumph of infinite love over infinite hatred, i be tri umph of mercy oyer justice. 'Ine very eloquent preacher then went on to show bow' Christ continues to dwell with men snd to unite himself daily wltb them in the holy communion, and to abow that all who desire may, by this mesne, be restored to the tost dignity and nobility and purity of the original Adam of the Garden. Father Burke is a vigorous preacher, has s finely modulated voice, which ap pear ly natural, his aotion ia Buperb, his language chaste, strong and full, never failing to express the idea which is meant to be conveyed. He is about forty years oi age, in the ooseeesn u ot apparent good health, and decidedly Irish. He remind one ot the vigorous saiuts that Ireland sent for th in the middle ages to oonver tbe peo ple ol Europe to ohrlhllsnity. ri is simple and dignified. Hia complexion is more n inj thau uis speech.

He will preach again thia merniug ai five o'clock ana at hail past len a mass. ST. MARTS. The beautiful little cathedral of St Marys, at the head of Poplar street, will Icok lovoly ibis morning. Yesterday (indeed, Buy day) It looked beaveuly. The decoration In this edifice is of s permanenl cbaracter. A beautiful white cross stands on tho altar, and attracts tbe eye ot the pious visitor at onoe. The baptismal font ana the altar rainnga were wreathed round with evergreens, as was also tho reading desk. Last night, after evening aervioes, tbe lauiea of this church busied themselves with further and more elabo rate decorations, which will have a fine fft ct this morning. Pious and loving bnda were at work when our reporte visited the church last night. The work was going on iu such style and with such taste that the result promised to be most satiafacUiry. The Kev.

Professor Hayden, it 1 said, not only confirms Langford's account, describe additional marvels discovered by himself, but takes strong ground In favor of the park pro ject. Such s park will, in time, attract to it crowd of the pleasure seekers and dentists of Europe.

Bloody Affair sit the Mull road Camp sat tbe Hollyford Mosul. We hsve the particular, from an au thentic source, of a bloody affair, perhaps murder, at tbe railroad camp on the Hol lyford road, five miles from town, which occurred yesterday at noon, and resulted in the death oTa negro laborer named BUI Woods and h'.u partner, whose name we oould not learn. This camp belonga to Donovan dt Co., contractors upon tbe Selma, Marion and Memphis railroad, of which Genera Forr;st is president. At the time of the fracas, Mr. Donovan was absent near the city on a vlait of business to General Forrest, and a Mr. Runnels, formerly an employe of Stanton on the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, and who has been acting as clerk for Donovan, was lsft in charge. Soon after Donovan had left for General Fjrreat'a resi dence, two of the negro laborer quar relled over tbe result of a game of cards. Runnels interfa ed and with diffi culty prevented a tracts. Aa men of hia class and occupation often do under like circumstances, be Indulged In something to drink perhaps took seversl drinks. What with the liquor and the condition ot pasaion to which he waa excited in quelling the incipient row between the curd-play Ing negroes, he was in no amia ble mood when about two o'clock Bill Woods and his partner entered the camp, drunk, very noisy and boi-.tero is. Hear ing them, be took a pistol in bis hand and ordered them to be quiet, threatening at tbe same time that it they would not be silent be would shoot tbem. To this one of tbem respundet that he would. have to shoot, upon which he blazed away, shoot ing Woods firat.tbe ball entering below tbe left eye and killing him inatantly ; he then wheeled, and with equally deadly preci sion shot tbe other above the rig'ji eye, killing him also Instantly. He then or dered a mule caught, and rode In search of Donovan, to whom he said that he killed tbe negroes in self-defence; that they hsd sttemptexl to mob him, and be was forced lo shoot. He then rode off, and has no', since been beard c ti . Mr. Donovan and his partner Wells proceeded at once to General Forrest's residents, and relating tbe fsjta to thst gentleman, he lost no timo iu procuring a sheriff's posse to go in pursuit of Ruunes. wbo will doub les.- be arrested to day. Run nels Is a northern man, mi bas lieen in the s u:ls but a few years.

Coroner Moffat arrived at tbe scene of the terrible affray, and proceeded to Inquest the two men, Woods snd Busb. Alter hearing several wit nesses the jury rendered the following verdict: That the deceased oame to thair death from the effects of a pistol shot, at the hands of J. G. Runnels. The coroner issuid a warrant for bis arrest. Runnels bai made bis escape to Mississippi. We learn that upon the Inquest It was devel oped that Runnels was a Federal soldier, and served in Sherman's army. TO GAS CONbUMERS. A SPLENDID CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

There never was a greater fallacy. When we consider the material used tbe essential oil of petroleum, scarcely uieruuautauie ior any oinoruse ihe rich ness of the gas produced, requiting, when used as naphtha gas alone, to be diluted with forty-two per cent of air to red nee it to something like tbe sttndsrd of gas t measured oy candle-power) of the tinest r.ngiisu cannet coat, the rapidity, car lalncy, and, under proper oircumstanoes, the economy with which it can be pro duced, it use must bo re girded as an ad vsii-d movement in gas manufacture which should receive the attention of both prac tical and gcienlibc men. We naye iound It beat to ua this nro- cess in conjunction with tbe manufacture or coal gu; first, because we hsve a market for the resudtl products, oake and tar, at fair price. Second, bociuse our works snd apparatus were constructed for the distillation of bituminous coals. ihe late oomplalnta about the cuslitv of gas suppu- a 10 tne city grew out of the tact that on account ot the stock ot naph tha running abort, and some changes be ing tuade at the works, the gas in the holders for a few nights waa nearly pure coai gas, quiie qnai lo the tanfjard for merly produced by this company. The change from the u.e of naphtha was as perceivaoie and marked as 11 the burners bad undergone a pariial eclipse, and com plaints as natural as if one accustomed to glasses hsd attempted to lay tbem aside, suaaeniy. By a slight change made in the oonnec tions with our naphtha gss meter, admit. ting only pure napb'ha gas into tbe mixer we can vt lth ease ii J ict snch a qtiaaluy of this rich, inodorous aud disiuiecnant gas into t'ie Lou'ers aa to Immediately over come any ol j-c.iuns as to the quality of tne gas iniougiioui luo oily, uot only raining the illuuiluatiug power to any given BBBBMMBnB. nui absorbing to a great ex ent the trace of sulphuretted hvdro gun which always imparts a bad oeffar to too uwtiuw ,a. This we do not clslna ss a discovery bjt the experimental tost of the use of pure napnma was most interesting and sails factory. On the evening of the 20th, about four o'clock, we bad succeeded in getting ready for trying the effect on a large scale, ol Brass ei w". in sSBMSrMrtrj ss Baasjsjisni diffusion, without regard to specific grav lty. Not tbe uriform intermingling of gases, tor mat was a known sclent hi fact, but ice time rrquired for a oompltte mix lure ot gases through the mains (if ex tended) tweDty-eiglit miles In length. Tho holders contain-d about 170,000 feet of gas, with a make of about fifteen to eighteen thousand feet per hour, when we oommenced turning in the pure uaphth gas (running only two benches of 8a and makicg at the n'e of about eight thousand cu Die teec per hour. The poo tomster (Sugg's make, London,) mess ured tbe coai gas then In the mains at lourteen candle-power. As soon as we observed from the tea l'ghts tbe naphtha gas wss filling the pipes, we noted the candl. power of the gas in the street mains to begin rapidly and steadily to ascend, and In twenty minutes more, we found it was eighteen candle-power. Going immediately to tbe offloe, in tbe noart o' the city, to note the effect there, we found every one irquiring what bad occurred, and surprised at the increased brilliancy of tbe light. Thus in twenty minutes the illumin atlog standard of coal. gas, fourteen can die power, was raised to eighteen. By no other process known to modern science snd practice oan such results be produced so rspldly. In the ordinary manufacture of ooal gas, complaints as to quality can only be remedied by a gradu til process, which generally cornea too late to meet complaints. By thlsmeihod alone is the effeot inline dlste. We ean. therefore, assure the nubile that hereafter any just complaints as to the ;iiuminaun quality of the gas furnished the city, can and aball be reined lea promptly - not in one locality omy, but throughout the extent of our mains. It must be underxtood, however, we oan not unci do not undertake to make gas now through pipes filled with scale nr rust. J A3. ,Y1 VMLIilAMSUS, President Gas-Light Company, HORSE-THIEF SHOT.

Tbe sergeant went oat there and found the wounded person with a shot in bis left side.

Gaslight To Uu Public: The board of directors of the Memphis Gas light company desire to declare. In an author itative manner, the future policy of their com pany In regard to the sale of gas : Our company is possessed of the most com plete and ample appurtenances necessary for the manufacture and dlatrlbutiou of an ade quate supply of Illuminating gas for the city of Mempbls, the right to vend which we claim as an exclusive and vested right. In addition to tbe extensive works for the manufacture of coal gas, we have In operation apparatus ior manufacturing gas from uaptha, under the process secured by tbe Rand A tittle patent. By this method (owned and con trolled en tirely by us), an illuminating gas is manufac tured by our company superior lo lhat which any other company can manufacture In this city, by from nrly to one hundred per cent. This la a fact which will become patent to every gas couaanier of the city should another company enter Into competition with us. Within the present week an improvement has been made at our works which will ffver secure to this city the credit of poaaealrrng a light unsurpassed throughout the globe. Through the same agency we will herealler be able to correct. In a few minutes, deficien cies In the power of the light we furnish occa sioned by cold weather, or from otber causes. We do not propose lo lose a consumer on ac count of price, bhould another oompauy com mence to sell gss at a price lower than the rate hxed by this company, we wilt at once reduce our rats to a point hfly cents per thousand cubic feet lower than the amount fixed upon by such other company, and will keep de-ac- ndlng iu the aame ratio. We would remind the public that we desire no assurances or gnarantlea on the part of our conaumera, as we believe that whenever mat ters coma lo opeu competition, the auperlorlty of the iighl offered by Ihla c mpany, to aay nolhlHg of Inducements iu price, will secure u continuance uf the patronage 11 has so long enlo v ed. it is made the Imperative duty of every offi cer and emptoye ot this company to pay strict attention to the wan la aud requirements of our patrons, and any lack of courtesy or neglect of complaiuts will subject theoneuder to severe rebuke or prompt dismissal from our service.

Visions of plenty, of old-fashioned abundance and the best cheer rise before us at tbe mention of Henry Luhrman's name. A whole-souled, genial host, be is s standing toast with all bis host of friends. Every bolidsy finds him pre pared to answer tbe demands of his cus tomers, and anticipate their desire for something unusually toothsome. Oa Thanksgiving day he had turkey; tomorrow he will have goose, tur key snd roast beef, soup and all tbe garnishments, and served up in un Burpsssed style. He means thst Christ ma day aball bs kept in tbe beat and moat generous spirit at his house, which is ss noted a placa as there is in the coun try. Scarce a lover of lager in tbe United States but knows '-Henry's, ' on Monroe street. He is famous for bis lager, his wines snd his cigars, and equally famous for his manner of attending to hia guests. He musters every night as "jolly a set of fellows" as ever drank acb nappe, every one of them a personal admirer of Henry, gen tlemen who don't swear off, but, by the boat whose beversgas invigorate, but not intoxicate, whoae kindly smile snd pleasant greeting would make Rip Van Winkle stop counting forever. On Christmas day (to-morrow), Henry will welcome bis thousand of friends to a hos pitable board, which will fairly groan wltb seasonable viands, "and when the day has ended" they will drink his health and give three-times-three for mine host at 33 MonroMtreet.

Preata oa t otus at III at at Mesa phis. Could I lavoat- The advocacy of a cotton mill In Mam phi was not entered into with a wild, enthusiastic desire for prosperity, without cool calculation of the ultimate results. A cotton mill at Memphis, wltb all Its necessary adjuncts, capable of converting three thousand bale of cotton into cloth annually, would coat $800,000. Now let oa see what oould be got out of that In vestment during a year in the way of profits, on whloh to lease a dividend. Ten per cent, on the price of the cotton used is tbe ns oal return In Mssasismssllii. it could not certainly be leas bora. Then three thouaand bales at one hundred dollar each, yielding ten par cant., would bs 130,000. As tbe ginning could be all dona al tba mill, without aay additional coat, we drew five per cent, from that source, $15,000, wide from tbe saving of bagging and rope, freights, factors' charge snd oommlasion, firs Insurance, storage, drayage, sampieage, and wastage. Tbs cotton broker wbo fills toe order ior the Mew England mills must psy tho cotton factor the value of the cot ton with all tbeae charges and make his additional charge of oommlasion. Insur ance, drsysge, wastsge and exchange, and finally tbe freight, marine and fire insur ance, drayage, damagea, etc., from tba oattosi broker to tbe cotton manufacturer of New England ten per cent., 30,000; profits upon cottonseed manufactured into oil fit tbe mill from the three thousand bales, taO.OOO. Giving a total of 196,000. Here Is s clear profit of SS par cent, per annum, all of which might be declared dividend, for there need not be a cent of abatement mads on any item mentioned. Tbey are sll s long way under the mark. If there Is any one in Memphis who can point oat s business in whiah so sure and so great returns can be made in any other way, he will do much for tbe community. Compare this with any other securitiee. Government bonds only yield a little over six percent. In paper money; railroad atocks are doubtful except to the owners of property along tbe line. Steamboats are not, in tbe moat fortunate seasons, half so good. Banks yield only a beggar ly dividend and are attended wltb no olesaings sa this enterprise would be, tor it would employ hundreds In productive industry at paying wages. Insurance companies are full of risk. Investment In buildings cannot be expected to pay more than fifteen or twenty per osnt. Evan active employment ot capital In businsaa pursuit could not bs expectd to yield so lsrge and so certain a dividend. AMERICAN Driven Wells Brown e 'a, SL5 Seoon d atreet. at Brown A STAMB0ATS.
