land system was the Homestead law, which was
always opposed by the South. The country owes the
Homestead law and the Pacific Railroad to the re-
publican party. The Homestead law was based on
the principle that the man who redeens the wilder
ness had paid 2 sufncent price for his land. The
condition OF the West mad produced q peculiar race
OF men, OF whom General Grant was the type. They
had largely contributed by their energy and courage
TO the suppression OF the rebellion. Goodwin Smith
said that the yeomap class who fought under
Cromwel pad disappeared from England; they
were 70 Ds loun9 nov IN America. They
were the owners OF small farms. The prosper
ity OF the country rested on ts agriculture and
their duty 70 encourage the subdivision OF the public
wheat grown In the West was contribution to the
wealth and happiness Of the world He referred to
the ptiu condition Of the abOrng classes of Europe
and insisted tnat we should afford them every oppor
tunity TO obtain homes in the new lands in the West
ana tnat not another acre should be sold to specu-
lators. II the poor men avaied themselves OF the
Homestead law, II was the strongest proof OF the
necessity OF the law. law which would turn pen-
niless men into prosperous farmers was the very
philosophefs stone OF legislation. He showed how
mucn greater was the revenue derived from the set
tlement OF the country by customs and internal
revenue IMAM from the sale OF the lands. In 1866 1t
was SIX times greater than all the proceeds of sales
OF land since tne foundation OF the government.

Effect Of Forfeiture of Bank Charter-The Sur.

son. use Of FergusonIn error to the District Court
for the Eastern district Of Texas This cause was re-
ported at length IN this paper, and the facts will be
remembered by the profession. The case is sufi-
cienty restated by the court In their opinion except
that 1t was claimed below that the surplus fund in
the hands of the officer Of the court after payment
OF all liabilities became the property OF the State
and did not become the property of the stockholders
but that question is not considered Mr. Justice
Davis delivered the opinion of the court The de-
cision OF this court in Bacon ct. al vs. Robertson
rs Howl disposes of this case. The Commercial
Bank OF Natchez, Miss, by judicial forfeiture was
deprived OF its charter and Robertson was appointed
a trustee to wind up Its affairs. On discharge OF
his trust, having paid all the debts of the insOlvent
corporation, large surplus remained. The object of
the suit in Bacon VS.. Robertson was to establish the
title or the stockholders to this surplus. Robert
son refused to distribute the effects in his hands,
claiming that since the dissolution of the corporation
the stockhoders had no rights which this court could
recognize But the court in an elaborate opinion,
decided that the trustee cannot deny the title of the
stockholders to distribution and that by tlflaws of
Mississippi and the general principles of equity uris-
prudence the surplus Of the assets which NAV remain
after the payment of the debts and expenses belongs
to the stockholders of the bank. After this decision
ferguson was appointed receiver and Robertson Or
dered TO deliver to him the effects of the bank which
he held as trustee. In pursuance of this order the
TWO notes on winch tne suit Is brought were deliv-

the debt exists and can be recovered and that 1t is
the duty OF the rusee to reduce the property of the
bank to money and distribute it among the stock
holders. Nor can Lum be permitted to show, not
having meitorious defence to the suit that Robert

An Tnv,sat,ep.

The Managers of the Hannah Neil Mis-
sion propose giving tea party on Tuesday
evening next, at Ambos Hall, to which they
cordially invite all who feel any interest in
the work of the Mission. The ladies are
well aware that their friends consist of two
classes; first, those who so generously con-
tribute to the support of the Mission; and
second those who have not as yet made
their contributions, but who will DO so in
due season. The Managers earnestly re-
quest both classes to attend the party. The
first class are invited that they may enjoy
the high and holy delight of seeing how
much their benefactions have done for the
comfort of those poor fatherless and moth
erless little ones, and the second class are
Invited that they may see for them
selves how much good has been done
and be encouraged to make their donations
larger. We know you will all be highly
pleased and gratified to see the happy,
cheerful faces ofthese little wanderers, who
ohiy Two months since were destitute OF
nome or any thing which would be called
nome comforts, and as the children will be
all dressed in second-handed clothes, we
think you will all be pleased to see how
very comfortable (lt a very small cost to
yonrselves) you have made these naked,
suffering children. But as there are very
many Incidents of interest that we have not
time or space to enumcrate, we trust our
good citizens will all come and see for
tht mselves, at least some of the good they
are doing by their benefactions. The ladies
have no fear that any number of you will
say to them, close your house and send
all these children out into the street,
for many of them have no home
at all to be sent to and none of
them any that deserves the name
Neither will any christian lady or gentle
man say to the poor sick overworked wild
owed mother take your fatherless children
and care for them as best you can; and if
you cannot say it in words, you will not
say it by Withholding the necessary aid for
making the house all that it ought to be-
first rate home for homeless children.
Now please do not let any one think we
have made this appeal or gotten up this
party because we fear we shall not have
funds to carry on the work, for we have no
such fear. Our ultimate dependence is on
Him who feeds the sparrows and young
ravens, and we are very sure those
young immortals are of more value than
many sparrows. But we really do wish to
give every one of you an opportunity to
feed che hungry, clothe the naked and care
for those that have no help of man at all.
That you may hear the Lord say to you at
the last day ''inasmuch as you have done 1t
to one of these little ones you have done it
to me-" A. W T.
