Tuesday Evening, March 6, 1866
Our Public Directory. Strangers
siting the eity in quest of any of the
neceasitiei or luxuries of life, will find
the names of all the first-class business
houses in the city, together with a large
amount of other important information
in our " Pcbuc Directobt column on
the first page of the Pdblic Ledokb. t
DeaTH-Knki.l of Counterfeit Postal
Currency. It is a well known fact that
for over two years Memphis has been so
flooded with counterfeit postal currency,
that a person doing business would get
nothing else with which to make change.
In its first issue, the Public Ledoeb con
tained an article showing the large quan
tity of the bogus money in circulation,
and pointed out the evil consequences of
business men putting up with the cheat
From that day to this we have, kept writ
ing it down. We have written article
after article against the stuff. In our
first efforts we were told, by hundreds,
that we might as well try to eat a moun
tain of rock as to attempt to stop the cir
culation of bogus postal currency; but,
for all that, we still kept hammering at
it, and we hnd the satisfaction of know
ing that a great number who had previ
ously taken it, now positively refuse to
have anything to do with it Bat yestei
day was our day of triumph not a coun
terfeit postal stamp could be passed any
where. Wherever we went we heard the
same cheering cry, " no more counterfeit
fractional currency!" It seems that those
who had previously said thpy could not
tell the bad from the good, had their eyes
suddenly opened, and could distinguish
it as well as the best, and no more bogus
money would they take:' We do not deem
it egotism, as this was the only paper
in the city that wrote against the stuff, to
say that we deserve the credit of having
rung its death-knell, and the reader conld
want no better proof of the large influ
ence which the Public Ledger is now
wielding in this community, than this
fact It is a matter of pride to us, and
wt think our citizens will say "well done
thou good and faithful servant"

The Concert Last Evening. There
was one of the most select and fashion
able audiences it has ever been our good
fortune to see congregated together in
Memphis, at the Library Building last
evening, to hear the many gems adver
tised for Prof. Wiley's complimentary
benefit The piano duett by Messrs.
Eaton and Wiley was executed in a mas
terly style, and proves those gentlemen
musicians of the first class. The quar
tette of the " Two Roses," by Messrs.
Scranton.Davif, Whaples and Wilkinson,
gave great satisfaction; while several of
the songs of the Misses Emilie and Cora
Hammarskold were not only loudly ap
plauded, but were perfect gems of music,
and came fully up to their well-earned
reputation. The duett "Spring and
Love," by Messrs. -Buttingham and
Sabatzky, was excellently rendered;
while the flute solo of Mr. Henry Farmer
was all that could be expected by his
warmest friends. During an interim Mr.
Mozart sang " Rocked- in the Cradle of
the Deep" with much taste and skill,
and Prof. Stephani executed several airs
en the piano, which were truly charming.
As a whole, it was the richest musical
treat we have listened to for a long while,
and proves that Memphis has among her
citizens as much first-class musical talent
as any other city in America.
Meeting or tbi School Board This
board met at their office last evening,
and after reading the minutes of their
last meeting, a report was read from So-
periatendent Mitchell From it we learn
that there are about two thousand names
on the books, and the attendance will
average about sixteen hundred daily.
The Superintendent complains of the
dilapidated condition of the school
houses, and calls the attention ef the
Board to the importance of putting op
suitable buildings. ' School No.' 24 was
thtn reported vacant, and at the recom
mendation of the Superintendent, Miss
Mattie Bedford was elected to fill the
position. The next question which came
np was that of raising the salary of the
Secretary, which was discussed at length
and finally brought the following vote":
Yeas Tighe, Lemmon and Dam man.
Nays Peres, Highbee and Beaumont
Upon the President declaring a tie, Mr.
Secretary Buttinghaus toted in the af
firmative, thereby raising his salary from
four hundred to seven hundred dollars
per annum, whereon Mr. Ifighbie entered
solemn protest against squandering
the public moneys in that way. Good
Friday was then added to the list of holi
days, when the Board adjourned.

Theatrical. "Kathleen Mavourneen"
was presented last night, at the New
Memnhis Theatre, to the delight of
good audience. Every character in the
nlar was Dronerly understood and per
formed; and the stage machinery added
greatly to the beauty and general effects
of this very excellent drama. Mr. Flor
ence, as Terrence O'More, amused the
audience considerably during the first
act; but when he appeared as the poor,
hf-okAn-hearted lover, he elicitea tnei
sympathies, and almost drew tears from
anna of the most sympathetic. JWrs
Florence made a very nice young girl of
Kathleen O'Connor, and was so much
applauded for her song of "Barney
O'Hee." that she had to sing it a secona
time. Mr. McWade was warmly greeted
on his appearance after several weeks
absence from the stage. Messrs. Carden
and Hicks displayed their ability as

A Row About a Doo. Yesterday
about one o'clock in the afternoonvwe
saw a large crowd gathered near ' the
southwest corner of Jefferson and Third
streets, and upon inquiry we fonnd that a
white man had seized a large New
foundland dog, which was going along
with a iieir.ro. claiming that it belonged
to a friend of his, and that the negro had
stolen it The negro threatened the
white man with the Freedruen's Bureau,
instanter, but the claimant offered to go
there with hinvand prove property. The
negro seemingly acquiesced, but getting
the dog once more in his possession
atarted in an ODDOsite direction at as fast
a speed as possible, losing bis hat in the
race. He was. however, overhauled by
the white man, who, this time, took the
dog and started home. At one time we
apprehended an encounter, but the whites
were largely in the majority, and several
heirroes. with the one who claimed tne
dog, started like a beehive for the Freed-
mea's Bureau. The white man, how
ever, now stole a march on them by go
ing home. When tne party returned,
neither the white man nor the New
foundlander could be fonnd, and so the
matter ended for the time being.

A Rumor. A rumor has been in cir
culation for the past few days that Gen.
Robert E. Lee would soon pay a visit to
Memphis, to be present at the nuptials
of some distinguished parties who are
to get married. , We do not know how
true this may be, but we are sure that
nowhers in the country wonld the distin
guished and cherished old hero get a
heartier or ' more wholesouled welcome
than from the people of Memphis. In
this connection we will mention that we
are informed from reliable authority that
the rumors that Gen. Lee was soon to
resign the Presidency of Washinjrton
College at Lexington, Va., are unfounded.
General Lee is, through marriage, one of
the nearest living relatives of the Father
of our country, who founded that institu
tion, and is pledged, on that accouut, to
remain w;th it, and to do all in his power
for its complete success, which it cannot
fail of, ander his eminent guiding spirit

their angry organs of speech, and a duel
was proposed and accepted. One of the
parties is the book-keeper at a hardware
store on Main street The parties stepped

away at each other as though they were

fell wounded. No arrests have yet been
made, but the police are after the parties
with a sharp stick.
Personal Jewett Wilcox, Esq., so
well known here in former times as the

The Election. The returns have not
altered the candidates we named as being

Miscellaneous.
The Darling came in last evening full
of people and freight We are glad to
see that George Alcoke, one of the most
popular men on the river and a universal
favorite with our merchants, is now her
captain. Captain Alcoke is one of those
bole-souled gentlemen who will make
friends with every one who has the good
fortune to know him. His name is a
synooyra of good cheer and popularity,
ud he can make a boat pay where an
other man would starve. Good luck to
yon and your Darling, Captain' Alcoke,
and don't be jealous, ior under your
management your pet will be everybody's
Darling.
Willie Hinch is now the premier of
the Darling, and Charley Cotton is his
assistant. Two of the best and most
amiable gentlemen on the river. The
officers of the Darling are surely a team.
The Golden Eagle has gone on the
docks at Cincinnati.
The Deer Lodge and McCune collided
between Cairo and Columbus a short time

the pilot of the former gave the wrong
signal. But little damage done.
Ca?tain Chance Cable, late of the Olive
Branch, died last week at St Louis.
Steamboat Printino. We respectfully
ask our steamboat friends to call and ex
amine the specimens of fine steamboat

below those asked by other city offices.
Bring your orders directly to us, and
