Important Decision.
Liability Of Directors Of the Bank Of Ten
nesSee for Losses i3 Rem0UaE Of Deposits
IN 1861.

letter from Selbyville, July IL, gives the
following particulars Of very important de-
cision Just rendered by Chancellor Steele,
affirming the liability of the Directors of the
Bank of Tennessee, for losses IN the reno
val Of deposits in 1861 The letter says:
"On yesterday Chancellor Steele made a
decision in the case Of the State of Tennes-
see against the Directors Of the State Bank
members Of the Legislature of 1872 and
others who aided in removing the assets of
the Bank in this place. Various pleas in
abatement were made by the defendants-to
the Jurisdiction of the Court-to the au-
thority of Mr. Maynard as Attorney Gene
raj of the State, etc.-all of which the Chan
cellor decided against the defendants They
then demurred to the bill upon various
grounds, such as, that they were not respOn-
sible to the State-that they acted in good
faith-that the people Of the State had gone
for secession, and that the members Of the
Legislature were not responsible for their
official acts pecuniarily.
"The Chancellor annulled the demurrer,
holding that all directors and others, whether
directors or not including members Of the
Legislature, who carried off the assets or
aided, counseled, or advised to it, were res
ponsible to the State for all losses sustained
thereby.
This settles the question Of law so far as
the Chancery Court is concerned The de-
| PENDANTS have to answer, and there is no
doubt that several persons besides the direc-
tors will be held responsible, and that de-
! cree loiU be obtained for a0bGteUer loas lost
: by tie remoDal Of the assets.

"The northern elections teach MS

and if countenanced would insure our

that the northern sentiment is to

stand upon its own legs, less shoulder

the country at peace, from which we
