Now, if this is true, we hnve so right to ay one word on the aubjecL But if it ia Dot true, it i not right that any other paper should take from us the credit anal re up an advantage which be longs to the Lkdukk. The public, whose advertixinz patronage depends much on the circulation of a newspaper, is enti tled to know the fuels. And the paper which pretends to tho ltirtrofit circulation should be able to establish it. We pub lish that the Ledokr has the largest cir culation. We think it is three times aa large as that paper. So that one of as is mistaken. Whichever it is should take down the horns And we now offer to pay over to Col.

Thus the truth will appear, and a charitable fund be increased in either event. LOCALS IN 'BRIEF. Another soiree dansanle will be given at Raleigh to night. Col Beaumont, this morning, dis posed of seventcon cases of the ordinary character. The Federal Court, Judge Trigg presiding, will convene in this city early next month. Why don't somebody that is re sponsible, see to lighting the gas on Adams Btreet, beyond the bayou ? Mr. A. M. Trevor's room, on the north side of Court Square, was robbed of several articles of clothing last night. The morning train on the Memphis and Ohio railroad was detained several hours yesterday by running over a cow. The notorious SaUie Dean, Tycoon- ess of Beerjerkerdom, was fined in the police court this morning for stroet walking. - It is said that the employes of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company have " struck" for their pay, thus temporarily detaining trains. John Ryan, alias Tom Porter, who was released from jail the other day, was, this morning recommitted on another charge of larceny. Mr. B. Labe, charged with violating the revenue laws, has been required to give' $1000 bonds to 'appear at the next term of the United Stated Court. The owner of a lady's breastpin, containing an ambrotype -of a gentleman, will find an advertisement of interest under the heading of " found." During the session of the Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon, Alderman Passmore mado a speech handling the Police Commissioners without gloves. Samuel A.

Dawson, who shot Allerander Perkins on Alabama street on Tuesday night, was regularly committed to jail on a warrant issued by Esquiro Miiler, to await the issue of Perkins' wounds, which are considered dangerous. Judge Hunter this morning decided to pay, for full services, only twenty- four of the pettit jurors summoned at the June term. The others will recoive compensation for tho days actually served, nothing being allowed for the time spent in attondonce before being sworn in. Bask Bai.ua.ns.

A slight Insight Into ths Way ths Police Commlssionsr does soma Things. The disposition of the' Metropolitan Police Commissioners to manipulate the city charter to suit themselves is well known. They have already stripped the city of a great portion of its revenue; but a still more glaring illustration of this spirit is shown in the following cor respondence, which was read to the Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon : Mayor's Okkics,), Mmriim. Tkkn., August 21, 117. Gsntlomen of tha Board of Alderaien : Section twenty of the amendment to the city charter, passed March !, 1HC7, provides that sworn statements shall be made to the Mayor by the Metropolitan Police on tho first day of every month, " showing the amount in money or property that they have received, or which has passed through their bands as rewards for services, for captures or suistures, for levies or assessments, or in any manner or for any purpose what ever, from all persons during the pre ceding month, giving the names of those from whom received, what for, and the date when received, and account for the whole amount thereof, before they shall be entitled to receive their salaries or compensation ns such oflicer or ap pointee." The inclosed correspondence on this subject explains itself. The above provision is the safeguard the law estab lishes and provides against any abuses or malpractices, in office, and, unless otherwise instructed by your honorable body, I purpose to have it enforced. Respectfully, Uknry J. Lykk, Moyor pro tem, Matob's Oi-rirg (City Ham.). 1 MKvrius, Xknn., August 17, 1867.1 Sir: I have the honor to call your at tention to Section 20 of an act passed by the Legislature of the State on the 9th of March, 1867, amending the charter of the city of Memphis. You will find the sec tion of the amendment referred to on page lG7of Bridges' Digest for 1867. I do not find any of the required state ments in this office, and I therefore take this occasion to call npon you for them. A copy of Section 20 of the law is here with inclosed. I have the honor to bo, very respectful ly, etc. Hbnrt J. Ltnu, Mayor pro tem. To Colonel S. B. Beaumont, Commis sioner Metropolitan Police. . . I Oppick op Scp't Metropolitan Pours,! Mxmphis, Tknn., August 20, 1H07. Hon. Ilonry J. Lynn, Mayor pro tcin.s Sin: Your favor of the 17th instant, came duly to hand, and has been care fully considered. The question of the Metropolitan Po lice Act and amendments to the same having been submitted to the Supreme Court, and the amendment to the city charter to section 20, to which you have called my atteulion, having been treated hy the City Attorney as a part of the cuse, the Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners claim the right to with hold such action as you claim to be their duty, pending the decision of the Court. Should the Uw be sustained, the Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners will not allow themselves to be outdone by the HonorablS Board of Mayor and Ardermen in complying with its require ments. Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, S. B. Bkacmont, Superintendent M. P. The amended city charter renders it the imperative duty of the Police Com missioners to report monthly, as above mentioned. Acting Mayor Lynn thinks it about time the people were seeing a few properly attested figures in connec tion with tho matter. As thousands of dollars are finding their way iuto tho Police Commissioners' hands, the Mayor respectfully requests these officials to give an account of their stewardship, ns demanded by the very law from which this revenue is derived. Col. Beaumont declines to comply, and contemptuously sneers at the Board. The answer is a worse than paltry sub terfuge. The Commissioner declines because the law is now before the Su preme Court to bo tested. What has that to do with the matter f Until declared unconstitutional it must be obeyed, and thut portion emptying the revenue of the Tax Collector into the Police treasury is still rigidly enforced. We have never made groundless- charges against tho Metropolitan Police Commissioners, nor will we do so now ; but the action of Col. Beaumont in refusing to comply with the law is suspicious. The clause quoted is imperative. It !b intended as a check on the Commissioners should they attempt fraud ; and the Superintend ent's reply to the Mayor will naturally fasten the belief in the mimls of honora ble men that there is something wrong in the police department. An honest public official should not hesitate to ex pose to the public scrutiny the opera tions of his department. The moment he attempts to conceal by resort to sub terfuge and legal quibbles, his star of in tegrity begins to wane in public estima tion. Il is clear that C . Beaumont is legally compelled to furnish the sworn state ment as demanded by the Mayor. But if his tender regard for the law will not permit Lira to obey it while it remains in litigation, why does he not act consist ently? If he insists on tho enforce ment of that portion which fills the pjlice treasury why does he refuse to comply with that portion which demands an ac count of what he does with the money? The miserable pretext furn ished is simply the difference be tween tweedledee and tweedledum. If Col. Beaumont will refuse to receive any more money from Tax Collector Davis, and suspend the collection of the f 130 recently demaaued from saloon keepers, until the legality of the law in question is tested, the public will deem bis answer misconception of the law, thou eh it should be with good intentions. But hidiug be lied contemptible little quibbles which have no foundation save iu his cwn im- agination, when an account of his stew ardship is demanded, aud extorting to the last cent when he finds it pleasant and profitable to do so, reveals anything else than the spirit which should actuals an honest official. 1 , Col. Beaumont has no right to speak far the Board of Police Commissioners. Mr. Burditt ia in Minnesota, rusticating, and Mr. Richards is in the vicinity of Jackson, fighting mosquitoes. Mr. Rich ards is a fair lawyer, and Mr. Burditt a business man of strong, common sense. It is hardly probable that cither would indorse an action so absurd in lav, und so discreditable officially. TRAGIC AFFAIR. Burglar Shot Dead Whllo At tempting to Escape from a House, About half past two o'clock this morning Mr. P. II. Bryson, of McKin ney &, Co., who resides with his father-in-law, Dr. Ward, at No. 3-10 Adams street, was awakened by a noise in the lower portion of the house. Arising and seizing a deringer pistol, he cautiously proceeded down stairs. Once below, sounds issued from the pantry, indica ting that some one was helping himself to whatever pleased his funcy. Mr. Bryson was convinced that the robber would emerge from the house through a small alley-way, between the residence and the fence adjoining the house. He accordingly stationed himself at a con venient point; and awaited the rascal's movements. Presently a negro came out laden with provisions and articles of various kinds, stolen from the house. Mr. Bryson suddenly checked his roertul career by sending a bullet through his skull. The robber fell dead where shot, and his accomplice, who bad been sta tioned outside, and whom the ladies in the house recognized from the upper win dows as a boy discharged from Dr. Ward's employ only yesterday, beat a hasty re treat. His familiarity with tho house had doubtless enabled him to instruct the bolder robber as to the proper method of effecting an entrance. Mr. Bryson's prompt action will have a more salutary effect on burglars than a dozen prosecu tions in the courts, which are simply farces if the prisoners have money. He has rU the community of one daring bur glar, and set an example which will in timidate others of that character. Meetinq of tuk Board of Aldermen Yesterday Afternoon. A special meeting of" the Board was held yesterday afternoon. The proposition to increase the tax on tippling saloons to $150 was tabled. The city engineer was authorized to advertise for proposals to furnish C000 perches of stone to protect the landing. That officer mado a report on the coudi tion of thli landing. John Kelly & Co. desired a loss by scrip depreciation to be made good. Referred to improvement committee. A communication was read from Messrs. Lawrence & Carter, 223 Front street; W Bender, 205 Main street; G W Benham & Co, 20G Front street; Plum- mer, Curry Si Co, 19G Main street; E O Plummer, 43 South Court street; Harris, Hunt & Co, 224 Front "street; Black, Camron & Co, Charleston avenne; J W Dickinson & Bro., 210 Front street; D L Sullivan, 319 Front street; Homes & Burbank, 274 Front street; and asking that the ordinance relating to the rerao' val of freight from the landing, be so modified in its application as to allow forty-eight hours from the time of receipt, or notiej of its readiness for receipt, in stead of twenty-four, as required by the law nndcr its present construction. They presented arguments in support of the belief that the enforcement of the ordi nance as it now exists, will seriously injure the commercial interests of the cily. The question was referred to the Landing Committee. Messrs Thos Doublcday, F P Keeffee, A II Brown, D E GJeason, L Lafontaine, Terence Maguiro, D P Karney, C Magee, C L Leer, Powers 4 McGeoy, P B Wills, President Bulletin Publishing Company, M Kraus & Co, Avery & Burnham, Frank Rice M D, Iticliari Warrer, T A Austin, 5 Gulick, Edgington Jt Halsey, O F Prcscott & Co, Edmonds, Pettigrew 1 Co, V D Fuchs, Wm H Warrington, S Kauf man & Bro, Brown Si Jones, B F Mur phey, Geo E Freeman, Rosenbaum It Co, O II Lide Co, H Harder, Nathan Bros 6 Co, John A Dickinson, Thos II Hunt, John Cawell, B II ('apps and M Nealis asked the abatement, as a nuisance, of the museum and snakeshowist institution on the corner of Second and Jefferson streets. Referred to the Finance Com mittee. Messrs. Vinson & Donahue asked permission to locate a wharfboat at the foot of Court street. Referred t the Landing Committee. A correspondence between Acting Mayor Lynn and Col. Beaumont was read. It appears. elsewhere. The sum of $5000 was ordefed to be placed to the credit of the Water Works Commissioners. It was decided to pay city officers 33 per cent, additional salary for July, and to pay cash or it equivalent hereafter. No Cholera ix Memphis.

The former visitors to Specht's fa mous confectionery, on Madison street, would find it difficult to recognize in the present iuterior of the building any traces of tho late fire. The spacious establishment has been repaired in every part, but special attention has been paid to the ice cream saloons up stair. The spacious room heretofore known as the saloon has been sub-divided into two saloons, one for gentlemen, and another for ladies. Both have been most ele gantly frescoed and redecorated, and now present an appearance as charming to the eye as creditablo to the genius and taste of the artist who designed and executed the work. The large saloon in front, designed for ladies, has been beau tifully frescoed. Garlands of flowers form the borders and centers, and fivo representations of the four seasons in ta relief, ornament the corners. The walls of the gentlemcu's saloon contain four paintings one ef Mr. Specht's residence and grounds, south of the city one a Swiss landscape acene, and the others German cily views. The com plction of this work has entitled Mr, Specht's to tho rank of the finest saloon in the South. Prof. G. D. Rossi, who is still engaged in giving the finishing touches, designed and executed the work He is an artist of whose excellence the saloons furnish the most ample evidence. Our old friend, Mr. Specht, is still ab sent in Europe, health seeking and making purchases for the establishment which is now under the efficient manage ment of the well knows and popular Mr. John Yarbra 152 Owino to the non-completion of our hoiiso on the 20th, we are compelled to continue at 213 Main Btreet, until the 1st of September, when we. will positively move.
