THE SPEED OF STEAMEOATs.-A warrant
was issued some days % against Capt ID. J.
HILL Of The steamer GeorPiana. for running at
a speed OF over eight miles per hour on the
18TH OF July. The case came mp for he ,iring
before Justice Tuck>r at the 10th precinct sta.
uon las Tuesday.
The evidence OF Charles Wilson, Esq. was
TO the effect that the distance from u point near
the Ge)rgianas wharf TO the point is, by For
sytne's measurement, exactly mile, and that
he, with CAPITA in FawKes, stood on the shore
on the day named and timcd the steamer, and
her rate of speed was considerably over eight
miles per hour. The pilot and engine cr both
testified TO the general practice O t keeping the
boat within the rate required by law, but or
the occasion referred to they had not noted the
time.
The Justice, being anxious TO have an un.
Outstanding Of the law, reserved his dec is On.
The question presen led is whether the 'aw
contemplates the statute mile the nauti-
cal. The Justice thought that all acts OF the
Councils cone corning the measurement OF
distances alludes only to the statute mile: but
was willing to inquire AS to the facts Of the
case.

you what difference of meaning, which

THE RIGHT TO RULE FOR TRIAL.-Tuesday
afternoon Alfred Carter and George FItzhugh
were placed on trial before Justice Tucker. IN
the Tenth precinct for disorderly conduct An
application was made to remove the case 10
the next ne Arrest Justice for trial. The Justice
rec uired an affidavit according to law, which
provides that tue applicant shall make oath
that lie "does not believe that the said Justice
Will give him fair and impartial trial on ac-
count OF prejudice or other cause" FitZhugh
said he did not know Justice Tucker at all and
Carer would not swear that the ustice would
not give him fair trial on account of pre,u.
dice, but candidly remarked that he would
rather be tried before any other magistrate.
The oath was not administered, and the Jus.
tlce tried the case, and the evidenc CO not being
sufficient to sustain the charge 1t was dismissed.
The Justice takes the position that the law
does not give the right to move the case for
any frivolous excuse or none at all, but only
on account of sspreludice or other reasonable
cause" MANY cases are sought to be moved
because the applicant fears that justice tgiU
result from fair and impartial trial.

RANK OF TENNESSEE MONEY.

IL has been decided by two Of the inle-
rior courts If this State, that old issues
Of the Bank of Tennessee, Chose made
prior to May LIST 1861 are receivable
for taxes Judge Brien Of this circuit
and Judge Smith Of the Common Law
Court at Memphis have 80 ruled, and sus.
tanned their decisions by able arguments.
The question has been brought by appeal
before the Supreme Court, now in session,
and a final opinion is expected during the
present term.
We learn that the officers Of Shelby
county are receiving it fortaxes, under pro
test, and subject to the expected decision.
There is a deep interest felt in this ques
ton by many whom the outbreak Of the
war left with this species Of currency,
and who. under the charter of the Bank,
and the plighted faith Of the State, have
justly thought it would be eventually re-
deemed The technicalities Of the law
may disapp0lnt THIS expectation, but by
the rules Of justice it is difficult to see
how it can be done 1t would wear the
appearance Of Reputation, and on many
an humble and hard-werking note holder
would impose considerable loss, if the
law has bee Dme 50 confused, that the
pledge Of the entire faith and credit of
the State, already given in the charter Of
the Bank Of Tennessee, to receive this
money for all State dues and tazesis to be
rescinded Many of the soundest legal
minds in the State think that the State is
bound to make good this contract with
the note-holder.

A CURIOUS CIRCUMsTANCE--BU Butler
AND GRANT.-lt will be remembered that
when Wendell Phillips, the originator Of
the Impeachment project, first urged its
execution, in October last, lac demanded
that It should be applied to Grant as well as
johnson. According to the Boston report
of his speech, now before us, he pronounced
Grant 10 be "un6t to hold his Office and
declared that il was Grant and not Johnson
who occupied the most humiliating posi-
ton on this continent" Il now seems that
General Butler, who took mp Wendell Phil
lips idea of impeachment, agreed with him
both in regard 10 Grant and Johnson. But
lers original draftof the impeachment reso-
luton offered in Congress by Mr. Ashley,
included any officer of the government"
along with the President, and aimed at the
trial of General Grant az well as President
johnson. Wendell Phillips charge against
Grant was that 10 was he who was response
bic for the bloodshed and persecution in the
streets of Memphis and New Orleans, and
besides thisspecial charge, he was general
accompliCe of the President We suppose
Buffers accusation against Grant would
have been essentially the same and he
could have strengthened his case by hold
ing Grant responsible for Dutch Gap and
Fort FisLer.-Ae,c Yorl Times, Fsb. /.
IL is remarkable that Wendell Phillips
has marked the way for the Radicals in
all their movements against the Presi>
dent. and when he Numbered against
Gen Grant, the country looked for a
Radical movement against that officer
No one was surprised when Ashley
resolution was presented in such shape
as to include Gen Grant Oar dispatches
say Butler denies having "a finger in this
pie, but Ashley remains silent under the
charge that Butler as wen as Thad
Stevens suggest the wording of his reso-
luton so as 70 give the enemies of Grant a
chance at him The circumstances are
80 strongly against Butler that people
will be slow to give credence % has de-
NAL Every one at all familiar with the
history Of military operations after Gen.
Grant was placed in command of the
armies, knows the bitter hatred Butler
bore him because the former regarded
the latter as a humbug It was given
out at one time that Butler was writing
book for the purpose of annihilatng
Grant because he had in his official re-
port exposed the formers chGrlataRism.
