H Fenton's Empire Minstrels

u Fenton's Empire Minstrels
and Varieties Troupe which went
from here to amuse and edify our
Clinton neighbors recently, seem to
have succeeded in that respect with
a vengeance, judging from the tenn
per of the editorials on the subject,
which appear in the two papers
published there-the Democrat and
Patriot. After pitching into the
troupe for their professional and per-
sonal shortcomings, in the most ex-
coriating style, the Democrat winds
up by saying;
1.-The report is current and gem
orally believed that this whole con-
Germ was gotten up as "sell' by
the frolicsome boys of Red Stick. If
so, it was a most decided failure and
if the citizens of that place can enjoy
such representations, let their "Thes-
plans" hide their heads, aud in sack
cloth and ashes weep over their per-
verted taste.''
To all of which we would reply,
that to our certain knowledge, the
"frolicsome boys Of Red Stick" had
nothing whatever to do in the get
ting up Of the concern alluded to, nor
do we believe they would be guilty
Of attempting any such "sell" upon
their Clinton neighbors. Neither are
we aware that such representations
as those given by the troupe afore-
said, have obtained general favor or
popularity among our citizens. The
meager patronage extended by them
to those itinerant negro imitators
would 60 to prove this.

that they will rattle for some Of the
valuable articles, and under pretense
OF anxiety to make their minister a
present, or to please some prominent
member of the church, fascinating
persons are dispatched through the
room, pencilin hand, to solicit shares,
or, perhaps. each draws for his own
advantage, and scores of people 20
home with their trophies thinking
that all is right, for christian ladies'
did the embroidery, and christian
men did the rafting, and the pro-
ceeds went to buy new communion
service; but you may rely upon it
that, as far as the morality is con
crrned, you might as well have won
by the crack Of the billiard ball or
the turn of the dice"
\
The New York gold room, which,
during the war, was9tbe scene of
such unparalleled disgrace, had for
its president a minister who was
formerly president of a college; and
there are scores of men in the street
to-day, on their way to church,
whose costly family wardrobes and
splendid 'turnouts' are made out of
the distresses of the sewing women,
whose money goes into stock swim
dies. There is human sweat in their
golden tankards-there is human
blood in their crimson plush-there
are the bones of impoverished labor
in the pearly keys Of their pianos
there is the curse of an incensed God
lowering over all their magniicence."
"Where is the Church of God,
that she allows in her membership
such gigantic denominations ? Is sin
to be excused because it is as high
as heaven and deep as hell 7
The man who allows his name to go
as President or Director in connec-
ton with an enterprise that he knows
is to result in the sale of twenty
thousand shares of an undeveloped
nothing-God will tear off the cloak
of his hypocrisy, and in the last day
show him to the universe brazen-
faced gambler. Gods anathemas
will flash in his chandeliers, and
rumble in his bowling alley, and rat
tie in the swift hoofs of his silver
bitted' grays. If he who steals a
dollar from money-drawer is thief,
then he who by dishonesty gets
is five hundred thousand
times more of a thief /; and SO the
judgment will reveal"

THE RELIEF OFFERED ny THE
BANKRUPT ACE.
u. s. DISTRICT COURT CLERKS OFFICE, I
MEMPHIS, October Is, 1867.
Editors Memphis Appeal
lam almost daily asked the question
in the city, and frequently by letter from
the country, When will there be a
Register IN Bankruptcy appointed for
this District ~ OF course I cannot give
a satisfactory reply, IS ! cannot know
the purposes Of the appointing power.
But as this question comes, in almost
every instance, from persons who intend
to avail themselves OF the benefit Of the
Bankrupt Act, and who think their in
terests are seriously prejudiced by delay
in the appointment OF a Register, l think
il well to disRbuEe their minds IN regard
to that matter.
All who desire the relief offered by the
Bankrupt law have only to file their
petitions in the Clerks Office, and the
relief simultaneously Ome Frem the
hour Of filing his papers, the debtor may
commence his new business life, may
enter into engagements, earn money IN
vest It, and enjoy il, without fear OF hav-
ing the fruits OF his new enterprise and
labor sought after and seized on account
OF the old debts that have crushed him.
For the Bankrupt Act only takes hold q
such property and assets as a mar has at
the time he files his petition and Offers
10 surrender all for the benefit of his
creditors. II that surrender be full, hon
est and eomplete-as it ought to be, and
must be, il the applicant expects to OBJ
tain certain relief-the creditors can get
no more. The mans debts are then with
the past the future is all his own
whether there be a Register then, or moi
until six months Af er.
But there need be no fear Of much
longer delay Of bankrupt adjndicationsi
for I have the authority of Judge Trigg
for the assurance that If q Register fuI
this District be not soon obtained, he
will either assign q Register from some
other District to dispose OF the cases here
or be will hear and a~djudicate them him
self and those first filed will be first
disposed Of.
Petitioners are, therefore, really losing
valuable time and perhaps some excel
lent business opportunities, by delaying
to file their papers. Those who intend
to do 50 at all, should file them immedi'
ately. Respectfully,
a. 3. MITCHELL,
