An Important Decision-The Bank of
Tennessee.


Abraham Ssssel, a merchant Of Mem.
phis, rendered 10 John Losgue. County
Cour. Clerk Of Shelby County, $l,o77.-
90, the amount Of his taxes due the State
in issues Of the Bank Of Tennessee, dated
prior to May 9, 1861. Loa que refused
to receive it, on the ground that the law
OF 1866 repealed the 18th section of the
act chartering the Bank. which declared
that the issues Of the Bank should abe
receivable at the Treasury OF the State,
and by all tax collectors and other public
officers, IN payment for taxes or other
moneys due to the State" Sessel applied
TO Judge Smith. Of the Common Law
Court, for writ Of msndamus against
League.
Judge Smith delivered q lengthy and
able opinion sustaining the application Of
Sessel, and ordering the issuance Of the
writ. The opinion holds the obligation
OF the State and its officers to receive the
notes OF the Bank as binding contract =,
and that the act Of the Legislature in as.
suming to repeal and snnui the contract
was in violation Of the provisions Of the
State and Federal Cons,i,u ton, which for
bid the passage Of laws impsiring the OBJ.
legation Of contracts. Tho conclusion
then arrived a, is. that the clerks and 9th
er collecting officers are compellsble by
Law to receive, in payne Of dues Of the
State. all genuine issuss of tho Bank Of
Tennsssee-the term genuine being ap
piled to all notes issued before May 9,
1851. I, then proceeds to dispose Of an
argument that claimed that the code ad,
opted May l, 1858, in effect repealed The
18th section, and shows its utter uu,ena-
biIiy.

SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH.

THE Grover Baker Elsstic-Sttch Sewing Machines
are superior 10 all others for the following reasons:
!. They sew direct from the spoos, and require no
rewindlng of thread
?. They are more easily understood and used and
less liable 10 dcTsugemept than other machines
3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without
change OF adjustment much greater variety of work
than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is much more
hrm, elastic. and durable. especially upon articles
which require TO be washed and lroned, than any
other stitch.
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the
under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump
ana beautiful IN use and retains this plumpness and
beauty even upon articles frequently washed and
lroned until they worn out.
g. The structure Of the is such that though it
be cut or broken at intervals of only few stitches it
viii neither open run, or raye but remains firm and
durable.
:. Unlike other machines, these fasten both ends Of
the seam 10y their own operation.
g. with these machines, white silk is used upon the
right or face side of the seam, cotton NAV be used
upon the other side without lessening the strength or
durability Of the This can be done on no other
machine and isa great saving upon all articles stitch
ed or made up with silk.
2. These machines, IN addition 10 their superior
merits rs instruments for sewing, by change of ad.
Justment, easily learned and practced, execute the
most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna-
mental work.

Gcrritt smiths Logic.

Gerritt Smith one of the ancient and irrepfessi-
Bile abolitionists is out with letter to VIM
Leyd Garrison, in which he goes in for gra-
cious allowance Of benevoence towards the
South, thinks confiscation and disfranchisemeni
improbable, and wishes 20 lberate JEFF Davis
and do lots Of other silly things. 1t is such
muadlin philanthropy as Smiths that encoura-
ges all internal rascals and Wilkins to run rough
shod over the community. The old fellow for
gets that tigers disposition is not changed by
kindness and that one of these rebel Southern
ers Is the worst form ofa tiger on the planet.
The proper treatment for such as Davis and Co.
the South over, is to make them work with their
hands for bread, or starye They oughtto be
disfranchised and impoverished, and then al
lowed TO live by their labor if they will be
peacably. Let us have no, more nonsense a
bout this thing. lfhe knew as much Of these
Southern Williams as some of our soldiers do, he
might write more good sense. ~ l9

Opening of the Exposition.

The great Paris Universal Exposition
was formerly opened on the lst of April.
The day was observed as a holiday by
the entire population. At ii o'clock the
doors were opened, and by the time the
Emperor arrived there were fifty thous-
and persons inside, and outside at least
one hundred thousand had assembled
There were eight thousand police on du-
ty, and the order was excellent. Every
carriage. in Paris seems to have been em-
ployed. @
One tenth of the goods only are
opened and arranged, but the French de-
partment is in tie best order. Next to
that is the Russia, and third the En-
glish. All the other departments are not
ready. The American department. is one
of the most incomplete, and the Commis-
sscners, exhibitors, and Americans gener-
ally in the city are dissatisfied with Com
missioner Beckwith who appears totally

insufficient. The only department IN OPP
Grafton is thearestufhnt, but even here
the Americans are behind hand. The on
lygoods which have been damaged by
the,yoyage are American.
At one O'Clock the invited guests
assembled in the Art Gallery where
America made a fine show, many fine
pictures being exhibited and well hung,
but the English display was much great
er. When the guests gathered, howey-
er, the superiority of the American ladies'
was conceded. They were the bellies OF
the day
A brilliant company blazing with dia-
monds and odors filled Central Hall to
welcome the Emperor and Empress who
come precisely at two o'clock. They drove
up long avenue covered with a canopy
OF green and gold decorated with flags
and lined with soldiers
They alighted at a splendid pavilion
specially built for the Emperor. The
Emperor Immediately reappeared and
gave bis arm to the Empress and proceed
ed on foot to the main door, preceded
by the chamberlain. The party passed
round the entire gallery, nearly mile
long. The Emperor spoke few words to
each commissioner, but at the American
department he stopped with the Empress
and bowed to the crowd who were cheer
ing heartily. l-.sf.
The Exposition viii not be ready till
May. One half of the space is allowed
to France, and this is not complete.
The English are very strong in machine
cry, beating the Americans IN that de-
partment. The number. of Americans is
not much greater than usual every sea-
son. Prices have gone up fearfully; the
hotels raise their charges SO per cent, af-
ter this week. ,t.s,s..

We are not little pleased to learn
that Hon. John Welch, of Athens, will be
a candidate for denomination to the SUI
preme Bench, his term expiring next
winter Judge Welch has been filling
out, the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of R. P. Ranney, and it is eminently
proper that he should be again chosen
for the position. We hear his legal abil-
tiles spoken of in terms of high commen-
dation, and believe him to be regarded
as an able lawyer and one of the strong
men of the State Supreme Court.

Is the confirmation of Gfn. Steedman to

one of those surprising acts of inconsisten
cy only TO be accounted for by suppos-
ing that, in the hurry of the close of the

An Important Order has been issued
by Gen. Sheridan, Commander of the
Fifth Military District under the Recon
struction law, removing Heron Monroe
and Abel from office. The completely of
these men in the bloody riots of last sum-

his report, pronounced the onslaught up
ON the Convention, and the killing of its
members, murder, and it is but just
that murderers should cease to hold office
This act or Geu. Sheridan is severe re-
buke to the acting President, who recog-
nized, and has continued to recognize
the official character of these bad men.

him the office of u. S. Marshal for the

Who for Governors

That this question is frequetly asked in
Republican political circles, is not very
startling announcement. The answer,
however, has not been made yet. Nu-
merous prominent gentlemen have been
named in connection with the Guberna-
toral nomination, but the public choice OF
the party is by no means fixed. We are
not aware that the name of Hon. JACOB
BR1NKERHooF has been mentioned in
this connection, neither do we know that
nomination for Governor would be ac-
cepted by him. We are ofthe opinion,
however, that the choice of the Union
lists of Ohio can fall upon no one, in the
civil list-so to speak-of its best men,
more ably qualified to do honor to the
position and the State, or one who can
more faithfully or fittingly lead the I'm
ion Republican party through a victori-
Gus campaign. AS former Chief JUS
tice of our Supreme Bench, Judge BRINK
ERHoor stood high among jurists. De
votedly. attached to pure Republican
principles, he has ever enjoyed the most
perfect confidence of his political asso-
ciates. Such man in the Gubernatorial
chair, will add another lustrous name
to the brilliant line of Ohio's Chief Mag
istrates.

One of the most damaging pieces of ey-
idence, given to the public, in connection
with the proposed impeachment of the
President was presented in ..the House
yesterday by Gen. Butler. The Presi-
dent pardoned 1872 deserters, on the ex-
press condition that they would vote the
Democratic ticket in West Virginia.
The pardons granted entitled the desert
ers to pass and allowance amounting to
$4,000, which would otherwise have
been forfeited 10 the National Asylum
for Soldiers. This had been credited to
the fund and was withdrawn by order of
the President. The proof submitted in
this case to the judiciary Committee is
said to be clear, strong and conclusive.
