TIE CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE SHIP CANAL.
The New York Mirror says of the ship canal
which is to unite the Chesapeake and Delaware
Bays;
Though other places will be benefited by this
work in an eminent degree, it is the city of Bal
timore that will take the cream and reap the
greatest harvest of prosperity. Memphis Con-
ventions may meet from year to year, and re-
solve and re-resolve in vain; practical action is
the only thing that can accomplish their darling
objects, one of which will be partially attained
by this project 1t will do more to build up a
Southern City, and make it worthy the name of
rival to New York, than anything and every
thing that has hitherto been attempted 1t
will pour into the lap Of Baltimore much of the
trade that is now sent to Charleston and savan-
nah, and draw some from Mobile and New Or
leans. The wonder is that Baltimore has been
so long insensible to the Importance Of the work

ATTORNEY GENERAL CusHIsG's OPINION
on THE Texas DEBr.-The following. are
the conclusions at which Attorney Gene
raj Gushing arrives in relation to the
claims OF the creditors of Texas on the
$4,000, 600 reserved by the United States
to meet said claims
The claims to be released, then, are
l. Bonds, or certificates of stock not
all evidences of Indebtedness. but bonds
or certificates of stock. This excludes,
not only arrearages, if any due for sup
plies or services. or any other unliqui-
dated debt, but also the circulating n0:es
of the 9Th OF June. 1887.
Bonds and certificates OF stock are eSpe-
cially known and expressed in the laws of
Texas giving authority for their issue, and
are clearly distinguished from these trea-
sury notes, commonly called red backs, of
the denomination OF one dollar, and so on,
not exceeding one thousand dollars each.

REMOVAL OF COLLECTOR BRoNsoE.-RE-
sIGNATIoN OF GEN. DIX.-The Union OF
yesterday morning announces officially
the removal of Greene G.. Bronson from
the collectorship of New York. and the
appointment OF II. J. Red6eld in his
place-the latter promoted from the post
of Naval Officer, in which he is succeed
ed by John r. Broadhead. John A. Dix
having resigned as Assistant Treasurer
of the United States at New York, John
j. Cisco is appointed to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Bronson, it will be recollected, is
the gentleman who was first appointed
Collector by General Pierce, and to whom
Secretary Guthrie's letter was lately ad :
dressed, demonstrating against the ap-
pointmont by Mr.. B. of only those Demo
Gratis to Office who belong to that particu-
lar section of the Democratic party with
himself, that is the "Hardshells," in New
York political parlance. Mr.. Bronson
having subsequently written a lengthy
letter in response, his renewal is the con-
sequence. On this subject, the Union Of
yesterday says:
Collector Bronson enters the field as
an active and Jealous advocate of that or
ganizatIon which stands stamped, i'll Its
origin, and in every step of its progress,
with hostility to the administration. By
his letter to the Tammany committee, he
threw all the weight of his high judicial
as well as his high official character and
station in opposition to the administration
and when re buked for his disregard of
The known golicy of the President. he
comes forward in a spirit of arrogant de-
6ance. and rebels against the authority
of his superiors in Office. This letter OF
Mr.. Bronson completes the chain of evil
dence, and presents him before the coun-
try in the same attitude of open hostility
which had been previously assumed by
Messrs. O'Conner and Brady.
eve do not suppose that it has ever
occurred to any sensible man that the
President could for ia moment tolerate
such INSTRUMENTATION as Mr.. Bronson ex-
hibits in his letter to Mr.. Guthrie. We
cannot suppose for an instant that Mr..
Bronson could have calculated on retain
ing his Office after such an act of insubor-
dination."

Torcu1Na CASE OF CoNJuGAL AFFEc-
FIONA touching case. illustrative OF
conjugal love. occurred at Memphis, Tenn,
few days since. A man and his wife
were coming up the river, when the hus-
band took sick and was supposed to have
died. When they arrived at the city, the
wifi had a coffin purchased, and the hus-
band was deposited in that last home OF
the dead. Just before the moment OF
closing the coffin, however, and the final
interment of the deceased, the bereaved
and agonised wife insisted upon once more
looking upon and embracing the cold re-
mains of the deceased partner of her bo.
SOM. Whether it was her warm embrace
or returning consciousness. certain it is
that the supposed corpse suddenly evinced
signs of life. and the proper restoratives
being applied, within twenty-four hours
the invalid was enabled to proceed on his
journey, with every prospect OF speedy
recovery. owing his life to the untiring
devotion and love of his true and faithful
wife.

AN INTERESTING SLAVE CAsE.-Sam.

his master to go and live in Covington,

few days ago, however, Mr.. Patton refu-

Sam as his slave. The case was brought
before Judge Pryor. the Circuit Court. at
