The points in this case, in which a de-
cree was rendered against Gen. 6illOw, at
Helena, Ark, last June, are thus given by
the Clarion, of that place
In 1860, Pillow purchased from Pointer
eighty-fve negro slaves for 800, 2O7 IS,
including some $500 for hire. Pillow ex-
ecuted his notes and mortgage for the
amount, payable January 1, 1869, '63s '64
and '65. On April, Is. 1869, Pillow con-
tracted to H. ?. Coolidge for the sale Of
all his property, real and personal, for
1915, 900; contract rescinded and on same
day by contract, kept secret, contracted for
the re-purchase, by re-delivery of bills
given for purchase money and re-conVey-
ance by c., the rescinded contract recising
that there was mortgage in favor Of Poin-
ter, and that G. ''Will pay out of the crop
then in hand, or subsequent crops, or out
of the purchase money, the debts of Pill
low, taking credit for the amount paid on
his bills" In 1865 Pointer filed his bill
to foreolose the mortgage, and to hold Coo
lidge liable as trustee for other property
not in mortgage, for the debt to Pointer
Pillow defended on ground Of 'no proper
ty in man." failure of contract OF Pointer,
that negroes were slaves for life, and Coo
lidge, that the contract of the 18th Of April
did not create trust but merely an agency
and a power to pay debts. Decree against
Pillow for SIO9,914 Al. Coolidge dis
charged as the contract did not create a
trust, and that contract and bills of ex-
change be decreed to be cancelled. Appeal

he seeks to tear himself loose from the
friendless world, and to drown his early
and unaccustomed troubles in the excite
ment of wine and the gaming table. But
even in this condition, he retains all the
noble attributes of his nature, and needs
but friendly hand and not the voice of
censure to bring him again to the way of
the right.
But you-what do you do? You pass
him silently and perhaps wreathe your lips
unconsciously with scorn as you mutteT to
yourself: "He was q promising young
man, it is pity indeed he has thrown
himself away" But stop; that is a false
accusation, you threw him away, He
sought to train himself Alright, he endeav-
ored to fulfill his proper sphere in life, but
you crushed him by withholding from him
that patronage in his business or profession
which was so eminently essential to his sue
cess.
We have a fellow feeling for young men
and well know how this Indifference on the
part of the old, not only discourages, but
lascerates them In their early efforts 20 ELL
the full measure of manhood; how it tries
their young souls, and produces ultimately
disregard for the estimation of society
and the world, and as a natural consequence
weakens their moral courage and their dis
position to do right. Then in the name of
young men we implore the encouragement
and aid of the old. if you would fit US to
assume your stations in life, encourage
US by a substantial proof of your conf
dence and your esteem, and our word for

A Few Searching Questions.

Gen. Grant had better let the newspa-
pers alone. Having recently spoken Sc
verely of the Chicago Times, that paper
comes back, as follows
Hiram Ulysses Grant, did you resign
your commission in the army, in 1858. for
fear that you would be court-martialed for
conduct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man? Did you scandalously foul a soup
tureen? Was it your habit frequently to
get into state of beastly intoxication when
you were living on the farm of your father
in-law, General Dent, near st. Louis? In
Galena, were you supported by the cbari.
ty OF your father and brother, although
you were then in good health? We're you
intoxicated on the day of the terrible bat
ties of the Wilderness, say that the tail of
your cat was the longest? Is it true, as is
charged by Phillips, Tilton, and other pro-
minent members of the Republican party,
that you ''oannot stand before a bottle of
whisky without falling down?'' You were
a Democrat at the beginning of the war?
After its close, did you become a Johnson
49, -tN gNN tAlA a Ohu6NullG
into hybrid? Did you change from hy-
brid into Jacobin? Did yon get into
controversy with President johnson in
which was mixed a question of veraoity;
and did you come out of that controversy
branded as liar and as a man who was
guilty of an act of iuexpressible meanness
and dishonor?
You are not pleased with the Chicago
Times, Hiram Ulysses Grant. You will
love it before November. Meanwhile an
sWer the above questions. If the silence
which you affect-"the garuisher of fools"
will not let you do so, then let Wash
burne, or Donnelly, OF J. Russell Jones,
or Benjamin T. Butler, answer them. A
great many people believe that they can on
ly be truly answered in one way, and that
is afirmatYely. There is excellent evil
dence to support this belief.

The Curses Retnrning.

New England is squirming under her
commercial prospects. She sees trouble
ahead. Commercial decay threatens her.
For thirty years she has acted the Thug
tc ward the poor South. Present aPpearan-
ces indicate that in ten years more che
prosperity of the one will be exchanged for
the adversely Of the other. The curses she
hurled upon the South bid fair to return
home with compound interest added
When New England struck at the South,
size stabbed her best customer, and the on
ly one she could have held through all time.
The West is rapidly severing her CONNER
oial connections with New England. The
South of 1860 never could have done it,,
but the South of to-day, like the great
West, will. The income returns Of four
New England States for 1867 and 1868,
tells the world that commercial decay has
commenced. We find New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land, to have shown an income 10 gross for
1867 of S5,8O8,776. In 1868 il was re-
duced to S4,98O,O59, showing a loss of
near one million of dollors, and the evil
denoe of a reduction of general business
equal to the sum of $40, 900 900. AS we
are now in the fourth year Of peace, and as
the mOngrel papers will profess to see pros
perity, not only in the immediate future,
bat in the present. the Tribune having as
serted in January last that 1858 would find
the country, "Once more on the high road to
thrift" the recorded evidence Of the grad
ual commercial decay of the richest por-
ton of New England, is proof that the
curses she heaped upon the South are com
ing home.

The editor of the Nashville Gazette. in
taking leave OF his readers, gives them tho
following parting advice:
"Never counteuance negro suffrage in
any shape or form. The thing is unnatu-
raj, and must die. Just in 30 far as yox
foster it, so much longer will it live-so
much longer will you be cursed with IFS
manifest and manifold evils. Recognized
by you, it will depreoiate property, dis
courage immigration, delay State develop
ment viliate politics and jaopardize socie-
ty. In the South negro suffrage means
black against white, with the balance of
power in the hands of mean sohites. No
sane man can solve the problem otherwise
than this; and experience has proven that
we have unfortunately only too many mean
whites among US. Deter a negro from vo
ting at all, by any means you may, but ne
YER ask him to vote for you"
