A Bloody Record.

The case of Champ Ferguson, the guer-
lila, now on trial for murder, in Nashville,
Tennessee, before military commission,
presents the darkest and bloOdiest phase Of
our late civil war. The atrocity of his
crimes is without parallel. He is charged
with numbering fifty-four men, but it is
said, and doubtless with truth, that he has
slain more than one hundred. 1t is his
boast that he slew that number, and not in
war, but in cold blood. He spared no one
neither the wounded captive, nor the
sick in their bed; all shared the same fate
death. Ferguson says he was an officer
in the Confederate army, but he can show
no commission, and he probably claims so
to have been only to escape the fate he
richly merits. Champ will swing from the
gallows.

From the Rochester Union, 5h.
We have just heard the particulars of an af.
fair at Geneseo, attended with serious conse-
quences and the shedding of blood. The oc-
currence took place on Saturday evening.
John Leonard, an industrious laboring man,
who had been engaged all day in carrying the
had in the village, went to his residence at the
south end OF Main street, and found that his
daughter. girl Of seventeen, was absent visit
Ing at the house of negro named Henry
Crawford. He was much incensed, and seiz.
ing bayonet which his son, q soldier In Sher.
mans army, had brought home, he rushed out
OF the house. threatening TO take the life of his
daughter. His wife, who is blind, fearing the
consequences OF the anger of her husband,
followed him to the street, led by a child. and
screamed for help. Leonard went directly to
Crawf0rds house and attacked his daughter
with the bayOnet. The blind wife coming in
sought to save her daughter when Leonard
turned upon her, infiiesing blows upon her
head and stabbing her in the stomach. The
alarm called forth Q crowd of citizens includ-
Ing constable. They sought to arrest Leon.
ard, but he being o strong. man, they had yerv
great difficulty. He knocked the officer down
and laid everything fiat right and left. he at
ength was overcome and taken to iail.
DR.. Chase was called and attended the wife
and daughter. The former had wounds on the
head and chest the latter had three stabs on
ner arms, out none OF the wounds are regarded
as dangerous. On Monday morning Leonard

aggravating circumstances attending this case,
much sympathy was felt for Leonard, and he
obtained the required bail without difficulty.
Leonard and his son were active wide-awakes
in 1860, wore capes and beat the drums, bat
they have since repented of that folly, and do
not regard the negro with more favor than the

idea-so large an amount of capital as this in the

Congressional Globe, 1854, page 1872.
It was well underst God in the discussion
that the latter proposition covered the share
of stock in full without any deduction or al.
lowaDce for that part of the capital stock in.
vested in the United States bonds. and this
latter proposition stood in contrast with the
former in this particular The latter proposi.
ton prevailed and was Incorporated in the acc
ton Al OF the act of June 8, 1864. as it nov
stands, and it is very clear that it was the in.
tention OF Congress that the shares of stocL
should be thus taxed in full, without any de-
duction or allowance on account of the United
States bonds held by the Bank as part OF its
capital. That is to say, the act of Congress
means what it says.

stated TO affirm the assessments in Question.

residents, question OF some difficulty arises
m reiauon 70 the place where the assessment
Is 70 be made, in as much however as the Act

question, it they shall be so advised.

Opinion OF District Attorney Horn.
To the Honorable the County Board of Eeualiza-
ton of the County Of Ramsey:
GENTLEA1EN-I herewith respectfully submit
my official opinion upon the question of taxa
ton of shares of stock held by individuals in
certain National Banks, located in the city of
Saint Paul.
It is proper to state that these National
Banks have made no return OF property for
taxation, as required in the case of banks or
ganized under the laws of this State, and with
the exception of the taxes levied on such real
estate as they may hold, pay no taxes what
ever upon their property or capital under our
State or local laws.
The provisions of our State laws relating to
returning and listing the property of Banks
and Banking Companies for taxation refers to

clude Banks incorporated or organized under
the laws Of the United States.
It appears also to have been the intention
Of Congress that these National Banks should
be exempt or privileged from taxation under
State authority with the exception OF the
shares of stock held as individual property
of the shareholders

as therein stated with the following provisos:

construed to prevent all the shares in any of
