We can trace the institution of the mark ct back
to the earliest ages of the civilized world for it is
connected with the feeding of the humsn race
The market place is spoken of il the Scriptures.
and in other ancient writings Small towns and
villages stand in need Of msrkels for the butch
er can readily visit each family; but 10 great cities
markets are indispensable, for the streets world be
entirely blocked up, if there we're carts enough in
them, in addition to all other necessary vehicles, 10
supply each residence with it daily food
In portions of The world fairs are intimately as
sociated with markets, and are, in a measure,
substitute fO- them, since they held frequently,
and not OEce year, as is usual in this country.
In some of the fairs of Great Britain cattle alive
are sold in others sheep; in others swine, etc. Iu
Russia fairs sometimes continue from six weeks TO
two months and attract buyers and sellers from all
portions of Eastern Europe and Western Asia.
There is tendency in this country to combine fairs
with markets. particularly in the interior counties
aud towns. Animals, manufactured articles, etc,
are not only brought together at cattle shows to be
exhibited, but to be sold; that our public fairs
are becoming more and more markets. In England,
markets we're held during the thirteenth century,
and later upon the Sabbath. As the people came
together then to worship God, they found it CON
Veuient to do some buying aud selling, just as in
various towns of New England, people living re-
mote from church, have a double motive for attend
ing public worship, since they can not ouly listen
to preaching but also procure their Post Office mats
ter. In England however, market days aud Sab
bath days were rot long the same. for the Kings
inerfered. and favored srieter observance OF the
Lords Day

The "Atheos Of Ameries," tB9ston,) with all
is boasted intelligence and refinement has its dark
spots which look ugly as those upon other cities
The report of the Chief Of Police for 1858, shows
that during The year 10 75S persons were arrested
of whom l6,lOl were foreigners, 1858 non.resi>
derts, 1902 females, and 1877 minors. or the
crimes, were arrested on the eh4rgs Of murder
10 assault with intent KILL 81 assault with deadly
weapons, "a for adultery, 1914 for simple assaults
1913 simple laroeLies, biglmy, 423 (femalesl as
common night-walkers, 1887 as common d1unkards.
and $3.50 for drunkenness. During the year sO8
persons we're assisted home drunk; 5I28 dis lnf b.
ances were queed GAS lost children were restored
and 1876 stores were found open There are $40
dram shops in The city, Of which 1873 are kept by
foreigners. The number OF such shops is stated to
be 81 less than last year. OF the l69 cases uader
the nuisance act sent TO the Grand Jury, convie-
ons took place 10 80 cases During the year l8 9O4
destitute persons have taken refuge in the various
station houses, surplus the previous year Of
1891. An increase of such accommodations is ro
commended. The number Of houses of ill-fame in
the city is stated at 2O8. being 81 less than last
year.

Upon this result the ProtestaHt CAurchman com
ments as follows: In IVA there were only nine
teen priests in the Bnited States (hen colonies Ia
1890 there was one bishop and twenty priests In
lSOO two bishops and about forty priests In 1908,
two bishops and sixty eight priests From 1908 to
1880 no details are given, but in the latter year the
number had increased to 10 bishops 2s2 priests and
230 churches. It will therefore be seen thst dur,
ing the last thirty years the numberof doceses has
increased from II to 43 the number of bishops from
10 to 4j; the number of priests from 232 to 21O8 ;
the number of churches from 23O to ., 384.
Descending to details, we find that the most rapid
growth hiss beenin the Western States; the diocese
of Milwaukee, for instance, having I8s churches
while New York has but rs, Philadelphia I58,
Boston So, New Orleans 7S The diocese Of Gin
cinnati, organized at comparatively recent date
compared with that of Baltimore, has 123 churches
while Baltimore has only SO. The diocese OF Buff
faO, organized only ten years ago, has one of
the finest cathedrals the continent end lO2
In the archbishOpric of st. Louis, con
tanning the diOceses of 81. Louis, Alton, Chicago,
Dubuque, Milwaukee, Nashville, Santa Fe, St. Pau
and Kansas, there are 500 churches, while in the
srchbishopTic of New York, comprising New
York, Albany, Boston, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Bur,
hngton, Hartford, Newark and Portland, there are
but 576."

The Indebtedne.s of our city.

We find in the Banner of yesterday authorized
contradiction Ofa statement that appeared recently
in HuHfs AsrebOHts' Magazine in regard 10 the in
debtedness CT city. We transfer the article to
our columns for the purpose Of giving our city
leaders Information upon a subject in which they
are all interested. The presert City Council were
elected as reform party, aud tizeps will ceE-
tainly hold them responsible for the proper ad-
minisIration of the financial sfsiTs Of the city.
They should determinedly oppose all useless and
unnecessary expenditures of moEey, and thus give
the people earnest Of their intention to redeem
the pledge under which they were elected If this
system be adopted by the present city government
and adhered to by their successors, the credit of
Nashville may be placed upon good basis as
that of any ciy in the Union, and our people soon
enjoy the satisfaction Of seeing their city tree from
debt.

Terms 1855.
ArlIdEe vs.. White ct. ais.

Ardge vs. White ct. ais
In this cause we think the ChaDcellor's decree is
proper upon tEo grounds
First: The defendant, George w. White, at the
time complainant filed his bill, and had his attach
mert served was indebted to the defendant John
Frizzell, in Il greater smount than he owed White,
and complain ant, as attaching creditor Of White
upon general principles, cannot take the fund be-
logging to him from the hands of Frizzsn until The
debt due the latter is paid White hin self cannot
DC so, and complainant is upon no h'gaer ground
This view OF the case is sustained by the prip e-
pies decided in Nolea VS. Cook ct al 5 Hum 3I2,
and Fay vs. Reagsr, Exr., ct. al . Sneed 200
Secoud: FriZzell had attached the fund belonging
to White in his own hands to secure the debt due
him-he'ore complainant fled his bill. This gave
him priority.
The objection made here to the attachment, by
ccmplaiuant's counsel, are not Of a character to
make 1t void. They, at most, make the proceed
ings erroneous and subject to abatement upon the
plea Of the defendant White; and might be smend-
