LEONARD AND DAMAGES. The decision
of Judge Pierce yesterday settled be-
yond doubt that Judge Leonard, either
through ignorance or malice, or both,
exceeded his authority in committing
Capt. DuBose to Jail, and rendered him
self liable to heavy damages for false i'm
prisonment. 1t was as plain as the nose
on a mans face that even if contempt
we're committed, Judge Leonard could
punish only by ten dollar fine; yet,
with an assininity unparalleled in the
annals of imbecility, he, at one sweep of
the pen, constituted himself judge, jury
and jailor, and thrust citizen behind
the bars for simple breach of the peace,
which it is not his province to preserve.
It is a public misfortune that such
blatherskites as this man Leonard, who
has never let slip an opportunity to dis
gust decency by his absurdities, should
occupy positions of prominence, and, in
some measure, stand forth as a repressn.
tative of the people. He endeavored to
push Captain DuBose to the wall, well
knowing, if he knew anything, that he
was transcending his authority. We
hope Capt. DuBose will as vigorously
push Leonard to the wall in his suit for
damages. There is no court that ever
was instituted that will fail to find YER
dict for a round sum.

Soap Manufac turing.

The facts stated in the following com.
munication show one article at least
which can be manufactured here at as
low rates and with as good profit as any
where else
MEMPHIS. Tenn, January %, 1s6s.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: We see by your
paper yesterday the inquiry, Is there
a Soap Factory in Memphis ?" We an
swer that we have one, and have en-
deavored to supply our city with that
necessary article. We are thankful for
the patronage Of some of our merchants
and citizens, while others prefer to buy
soap from abroad. Our soapmaker is as
good a manufacturer as any in the coun-
try, and we challenge the world to pro-
duce better article for the same price.
We agree with you that the South must
look to and support her manufactures,
and by so doing, become independent of
all. With proper encouragement we can
increase our works so as to manufacture
from SIS, 900 to 100000 worth ! er an
mum.
We greatly fear, from present indica-
tons, that we will be compelled to stop
our works for a time, as our stock is
accommodating too fast to hold under
present state of finances We are now
selling lower than can bepurchased else
where; and all we ask is for our people
to give Us their patronage and we viii
guarantee satisfaction. Having been
residents Of the city for over thirty years,
we think that the old citizens ought to
know us. Respectfully,

Tnr QUESTION OF RRsrs, Provisions
AND BoARDTsG.-It is fact worthy Of
remark that while rents and provisions
have tumbled, boarding remains at the
old figures. Our principal hotels con-
tinue to charge $40 per month for day
boarding, the price to which they nd
vanced when gold couldn't be touched
with forty foot pole, and $50 and $50
per month are the prevailing rates in the
better class of boarding houses. The
present condition Of affairs does not
justify such prices. People who could
afford TO pay them year ago, can now
lily afford two thirds the sum required.
AS the advance was made because gold
jumped over the moon, why not come
down peg since gold has descended to
the tree tops2 Such rule should work
both ways.
