state whe-s she might deem 1t proper to make
them pavable. 10 TIE case before US, however,
the city Of Memphis had nothing to do with
fixing the rate Of interest which the coupons
OF these bonds call for. and of course s. 7.
M.'s' argument is worse than fsllaoious, for
M ia utterly baseless- Our merchants draw
notes here, payable in New York, aud the New
York merchant collects In Ts1Asssss Cosrts on
sach notes ssUen psr cent. New York interest.
So with the notes or bonds Of Memphis, the
rate Of interest would be determined by the
law Of the place where they are payable, even
when It is Rot fixed on the face of the bonds;
bot in this case, the bonds are payable in
Charleston, where, by law, 7 per cent. is the
legal rate.
The legal argument Of IS. T. NJ" may be
satisfactory to himself, 20 the Mayor, and to
an empty treasury, but they will hardly safety
any citizen that the rspudiatiOn Of a contract,
entered into BY a former Board, by which in
nocsnt parties were Induced to part with their
money, is either legally right or morally eredi-
table.
The q~sestion Of sxpedisncy-of preference
between a Court House and the Arkansas Rail-
road, is one to be left to the wisdom, discrs-
ton and practical common sense Of our people.
IL a Court House would add one dollar to the
wealth Of this city, If il were q matter OF abso-
lutte necessity to erect one at the cost OF the de-
s~truetion Of the city's good faith, and OF that

DEAR STA: Your letter Of the % Of Septem-
Der was placed in my hands on the l4th Of
that month. In consideration Of your cheek
for ten thousand dollars, to be placed at my
disposal for the benefit Of the Mount Vernon
Association on the receipt Of my letter accept
ing the offer, you propose to me to furnish an
original article weekly for the New York Led
ger for one year.
This liberal offer has received ny thoughtful
consideration. have been and am strange
~ tempted, on the one hand, to make this
noble addition to the Mount Vernon FuBd.
On the other hand, among other grounds Of
hesitation, | have been afraid that | could not
do Justice to your libsrslity, without giving up
more time to the preparation Of The articles
than Is consistent with other engagements and
duties.
You are right in surprising that no pecunisTy
benefit accruing 10 myself Would induce me 10
undertake the task, although the " financial
situation to which you allude is far less brill
liant than YOU may have been led to think BY
exaggerated reports. feel, however, that 1t
is nav duty hot TO foregO this opportunity Of al
ding SO large a sun, at once, 70 tbe Mount
Vernon faud, and J accept The ODER. viii
begin to Furnish the articles as soon az he o.
mediate demands upon M time 10 fs.fll some
previous engagements shall essse-in the
course Of this month a. farthest-aHd I will
continue them, ss far ss possible, weekly,
making up atahs end Of the year for any Omis-
sion in the regular supply.
They will, / hope, be received by you and
the public with the Indulgence usually extended
70 gratuitous labors in a meTitoTious cause.
/ shall venture TO call the articles thus fur
nisaed by ne q The Mount Vernon Papers,
scarcely daring to assume that hcnored name,
which, however, may, perhaps, be permitted,
as appropriately indicating the object for
which they are prepared and 80 e~Xcusing
their imperfeetions, ! remain, dear sir, respect
fully yours, EDWARD EVERETT.

Campbell's Choice.

Lewis d. Campbell was on the oath, unanimous
" renoninated by the Republicans of the Fourth
Congressional District Of Ohio for sixth term in
the House Of Representatives. In the course of
an address to the convention, in which he an
nounced hts acceptance Of the nomination he sta
ted that he had been assured by prominent demo-
Gratis in Congress, that he should not be disturbed
in his seat IL he would keep quiet on the Lecomp-
ton business, and after his RE- ection proposition
had been made to him to come over to the demo
cratic party, and they would take care of him
To this proposition he replied by telling the gen
tleman who made it the following story:
"Monsier Folk, a Frenchman who went TOD Jana
lea to embark in business: had been sadly abused
there. lie had been robbed, whipped. put in pris-
on, his property confscated. and every species Of
indignity and outrage offered him. On his return
Col. Pike of Arkansas.
ing to your story Jamaica must be as bad Il place
as the Internal regions"
MA foi'-it is worse.
"Now Monsieur, do you really mean that ?"
"C'est vraI'--it is true.
"Well, now, Monsieur Folk" said Col. Pike
suppose you were on your death bed tonight;
and the Lord should appear to you and say you
might go back to Jamaica or to go the internal re
gions, what would you say?''
Il would say. Monsieur good lord. ifit beez all
re ZANE to you, If it makes no difference at all,
should very much choose to please, to prefer much
razer to go to hill"
He told this democratic friend that il it made nc
difference, he should prefer the Frenchman'
choice to joining the democratic party.
