This uen. Clary is nm old army
officer, and has been stationed In
Memphis over two years.

has occupied since coming 10 this
city, an elegant house on Shelby
street, belonging 10 Mr. Duvall, 4
gentleman who stands high In social
life, aud Is regarded rs loyal, being
IN Philadelphia throughout The war.
The house was presented, for the
benefit Of bis wife and children, by
Commodore Lavcllotte, of the y. s.
Navy, and who Is near relative.
A year ago last May the Govern
ment ordered Gen. CIary to restore
the house to Mr.. Duvall, and pay
him back rent for the time he had
occupied il. Mr.. Duvall held the
order, but the General made no effort
to remove. The former agreed by
way OF compromise, TO let him occupy
the house for $4,000 per year. He
offered $40 per month in addition to
the 81 900 allowed him by the Gov
crnmcnt for quarters, a difference of
81 500 per year. Mr.. Duvall made
positive demand for the house in
September last, having brought on
his children from Philadelphia, de-
signing to occupy the house. The
General deferred the matter, promis-
ing then and from time to time, that
he would leave, and thus the affair
stood until last spring, when he per-
mitted Mr.. Duvall's children to oc-
cupy two Of the rooms. A niece Of
his came to live with him. She was
an accomplished young lady, and we
could give her name. His harsh
treatment was such that she had to
leave, and did leave, solely on that
account. His daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Clary, became very sick in his house /;
her husband had been dead year or
two-was killed by a fall from one of
the windows of this very house.
The young widow became engaged
to gallaut young Colonel of Nash
vile. During her illness he came to
see her. Her heartless iather-in-law,
the General, being opposed to the
match, refused him admittance to the
house. The Colonel succeeded in
seeing her only once. Shortly after
ward she died. This illustrates the
brutal character Of the man. Now
for something else.
On one occasion two ladies, who
could be mentioned and are well
known, called to see the Misses Du-
vail. They rang, and a servant was
in the act Of showing them into the
parlor, when the old gentleman came
along, slammed the door to, locked il
in their faces, and walked out, leav-
ing them 10 seek the young ladies in
their rooms. All the fine furniture
in the house belonging to Mr.. Du-
vail, down to the silver-ware, was
used by General Clary. He happen
ed to have one piece, a piano, which
stood in the parlor. The young la
dies came down to play on il some
times. Finding this out, he turned
the keys around close to the wall,
thus rendering the piano useless 10
them. This demonstrates his mean
ness.
On the 30th Of last June he or
dered his guards to throw the goods
Of Mr.. Duvalls children out in the
street, which was duly and valiantly
performed. While this was doing,
Mr.. Duvall's little son, Allie, stood
by looking on. He is a modest,
clever boy Of fourteen. The General
became enragcd at him, and slapped
him in the face-an outrage which
the friends Of the youth do not pro-
pose to, and should not forget.
The remainder OF his career herr
Is. already known. Mr.. Duvall
brought suit against him for th'
house. The case was tried befor,
three justices, who decided againsi
Gen. Clary. He appealed to th,
Common Law Court--bere recogniz
ing the civil courts, and turned th'
house over to the Bureau to kceI
