CHANCERY COURT.
Decision of Chancellor Otis in the
School Fund Case.

Decision of Chancellor Otis in the
School Fund Case.
Chancellor Otis yesterday delivered an
able opinion on Samuel Watson, Trustee,
against the President and Directors Of the
Bank Of Tennessee and the creditors Of the
bank. On the 18th Of February, 1866, the
Legislature passed Law 10 wind up the
bank, and authorized the execution Of a
trust assessment and directed that the
school fund, amounting TO a million and
half Of dollars, be preferred and paid ont
Of the assets of the bank. The same act
Of the bank. NJ. r. Cockrill, of Davidson
county, who was a large deposition in
the bank, filed his cross bill, claiming
that the act Of tbs Legislature authori-
Eing the trust assessment and preference
in favor Of the school fund was in viola
ton OF the provision Of the constitution
Of the United States, which provides that
no State shall pass any law imPairing the
obligation of contracts, and that the en-
tire assets Of the bank, including the
school fund, which the cross bill claimed
had been invested by The State as stock in
the bank, should 20 to the payment Of
nOtehOlders and deposiiors. The Governor,
Comptroller, Secretary Of State, and
Superintendent OF Common Schools, who
are made BY law commissioners of the
school fund, were made parties, answered
the original bill, and filed demurrer to
Mr.. CockrilPs cross bill, thus creating the
question that this school fCnd was a trust
fund which the Legislature under the
constitution Of the State had no
power to invest as stock in the
bank 30 a. to make the benefi-
Charles Of the school fund stock
holders, and that the same was a debt
owing by the bank TO the school fund,
which the Legislature by the act Of Feb
ruary 1866 had a right TO prefer. The
case was ably and deliberately argued by
Ed. Baxter, Eq, for the depOsitors, by
Hon. John Trimble for the bank, by Hon.
f. II. East for the trustees of the bank,
and by Hon. Hon. II. ii. Harrison for the
commissioners of the school fund. The
Chancellor held that the Legislature had
no power under the constitution 10 invest
the school fund as stock in the bank, that
the act of 1866 was constitutional, and that
the case came within the ruling Of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
Paup vs. Crew, 10Th Howard An appeal
was taken TO the Supreme Court.

finest pieces of execution. The richly
cushioned seals, the Gne windows and
blinds, the various colored stained glass
windows ia the dormitOry, with fine chan
ieliers, all lend an air Of beauty and mag
nlfcenes rarely seen anywhere. II speaks

EFFECT OF SPECULATION IN AVER
lean BONDS.

The London papers assign the specu-
lation in American bonds as the recent
advance in the discount rate Of the Bank
of England The London Times of the
Sth instant, in its city article, says:
Gan extraordinary degree of imitation
has been prevalent for long period in
America, and is fostered by money drawn
from this side in the shape either of in,
vestments in or ofloans on United States
bonds. So long as this continues there
can be no collapse in New York, and il
must be expected to continue until the
rate here rises to point SO nearly equiv
alent to that at New York as to offer no
temptation to borrowers. To the lead
ing financial writers in America thu
case has been perfectly plain for som,
time, but among European capitalist
there has apparently been little dispo 81
ton to entertain a similar view.
