ley curiosity In the shape OF q fish head:
The flsh Ia known as the "Bonnaconda,.
and was caught In the Amazon river, South

IL Georgia recently the question
was raised whether the Southwestern
Railroad Company could purchase
stock in the Atlantic and Gulf Rail-
road. Judge COLE, to whom the mat
ter was referred, rendered his decision
a few days since. He sustains the in
junction restraining the Southwestern
from such purchase, and bases his
opinion not alone upon the merits of
the case, but the uniform decision OF
both English and American courts,
where identieally the same question
has been presented. In his opinion,
nowhere in the charter Of the South
western Railroad Company can there
be found any authority for purchasing
stock in other roads or misapplying,
in any manner, the funds of the Com
pany; and If the Company can pur-
chase stock in one road it can in an
other, or il IT can purchase one rail
road, it can purchase all the roads in
the State, if it has the means and
credit, a thing never contemplated in
the charter and which will not be toll
Grated for a moment. He therefore

moved by the defendants. The case
VIII probably be taken to the Su-
prenle Court.

TIE Boston Post thus rejoices over
the victory in that city, at the State
election on Tuesday last: Boston
has expressed her mind in an unmis-
taxable manner this year. If her
vote for ADAMS was not sufficient to
that end, then the election of two
Democratic Senators and twenty-one
Democratic Representatives should
be. Here the people are still free, and
intend 50 to remain. The Boston del
egation in the next-Legislature will
stand out prominently, the consistent
and uHfinching advocates of what is
just in legislation, and the defenders of
personal rights under a free Govern
ment. 1t is the ancient spirit that
has again spoken in this city, echoing
the eternal truths in public rule and
which so many years of undis-
puted republicanism have engraven
on the hearts of her citizens"

TIE Nashville Banner is ably adj
vocating the bill before the Legisla-
ture, which allows men to contract
for money, as for other things, just as
they please. We hope the bill will
pass. The antiquated idea of usury
laws is against all common sense, and
like other restrictions on legitimate
trade and business, works mischief,
and mischief only. Oar people are
intelligent enough to do their own
trading, and take care of themselves
in money contracts, as well as any
others. Legislators can do them no
good by assuming to be their guar
dians. Experience has shown the
contrary, and that the more crippling
the usury laws the higher the rates
paid for money. The only way to re-
duce the price of money is to make it
more abundant. And the surest way
to do that is 10 invite it in, by allow
ing its free use, as the owners may
choose 10 use it. The consequence of
our usury laws in Tennessee has been
for years to make US pay higher rates
for money than the people of other
States. And we have at the same
time less Of il, less union Of labor with
it, less enterprise, and less improve
ment. Suppose we try n liberal course
of legislation for a while, and see if
we cannot do better, when it is next
to impossible We should do worse.
When their cases get desperate, sensi-
bic physicians try new prescriptions.
Now that our case has come to be so
near hopeless, the Legislature may as
well give US fsh-hooks as more usury
laws, which after years persistent trial
have made Us get no better so very
fast.

4 CONSIDERABLE amount of money

at the race track and Fair Grounds,
four miles from town, and in one
respect Chat Of the inconvenience C
going and r%eturning) the anticipations
of those who opposed the location
have been verified. At the Fair, the
trains were crowded beyond their a
pacity, and passengers considerably
delayed. We understand that the
complaint is general, that when the
races are over, returning passengers
are compelled to wait for trans
p~ortation some two hours after
they are ready to return. This incOn-
venience should be remedied if posi-
bic. The Fair would have been much
more fully attended if it had been
held near enough the city to be within
reach Of the street ears. The ques-
ton of removal will come up, if the
remedy is not provided by the Super
intendent of the Charleston road.

THE President has proclaimed for

that now, when we have returning

THE citizens of IIardeman county
are anxious to procure from the Legis-
lature the passage Of a bill for the re-
opening of Hatchie river by removing
the interference OF the railroad bridge
at Brownsville. They ask only that
a draw should be placed on it, so that
boats will be able to pass through. 1t
will doubtless be something of an in
convenience tothe road. But the in
terests of so large a scope of country
as is drained by this river are also of
some importance. 1t runs centrally
through three Of the richest counties
of the State, and drains a portion of
Two others. There are many living
in these counties who would save
ten, fifteen, or twenty miles hauling
cotton to railroads, if they had the
river open. The matter is one worthy
Of candid consideration, looking to ali
interests TO be affected. It seems to
Us that placing a draw on the bridge
would be a less Inconvenience than
that which now exists. The following
is from the Bolivar Bulletin:
"Last Monday we noticed that one

he had met with success, as many, in

whom were many persons directly in

move is a good one, and should be
backed in Haywood, Madison. FAY
cite, Lauderdale, Upton and Shelby,
and especially should Memphis take
a prominent part in restoring to the
planters along the valley of the
Hatchie rights that wer filched from
them by a few paid-up hirelings of
Brownlow's bogus Legislature. The
business men of Memphis have too
long neglected the great importance
of reopening the Hatchie river trade.
Every steamboatman who has navi-
gated Hatchie river pronounces
against the Brownsville bridge, and
many of the oldest and best mer-
chants in Memphis have told us that
before the war, before the river was
declared a nuisance by hired railroad
road ringists, that the trade along
Hatchie river was always brisk during
the boating season. Why, then. we
ask, in the face Of all the facts. Is II

TEE UNION DEPOT.

Yhs article which appeared in the
ArFEAL Of Friday morning relative
90 the feasibility and d~esirability OF
establishing a Union Railroad Depot
kss attracted considerable attention,
and We are happy to learn it is in con-
temptation, by railroad men, to move
n this matter until it is an accom-
Ptishcd fact. They had better be in a
harry. A telegraphic dispatch of
Gondsy informs us that ~"arrange-
%Eons will be perfected in a few
"ssTs whereby freights from 81. Louis

from Belmont to Columbus. XIV.

merchants that very much Of the

salts Of every day intercOmmunica-
bon with the interior country east OF

6s ST. Louis trade l. a Union Depot
demanded. The trade from the south
eastward and westward is on the in
crosse. We Ies-n that IT is more thah
probable that the shipments Of cotton
by railroad east from New Or
leans viii, this season, more than
e~uadruple those Of any previous
yesr. With a Union Depot Memphis
might reap much or the benefits Of
this heavy transportation Of the sta
PIE; and with It might come much Of
the travel that now passes our doors
by way Of the Central and Mobile rail-
T1>fs. ProsPectively, too, the Union
Depot is needed. In a few years we
shsll have the Pekin and Canton ex-
presses, the mail train from Nangasa.

THE YERGER CASE.

The days Of political vengeance have
Hot yet quite passed away. We learn
that several Congressman have signi-
Eed il 10 be their intention that, if the
Yerger case is not decided before the
third week in December, they will in
troduce and put through the House,
with Radical Tapidity, a bill to deprive
che Supreme Court Of all jurisdiction
IN that and similar cases. They pro-
pOse to make this act more restrictive
than the n passed last session to
meet the McCardle case, and which at
the time was justly regarded as a
measure ofinjustice prompted by gross
Ealiciousness and a desire to prOlong
the punishments and vindictiveness
growing out OF the military systems
get in vogue in Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas. We hope the rumor al
loded 30 may prove to be merely q ru-
nor, and that in the interests of the
peace and good-elIowship that should
exist between thepeopIe OF the States,
the 4 : Of YERGER will be allowed
- take Ii course before the State
Courts OF Mississippi, which we be-
nsve are prepared to try it impartially

they should be voters, officers, and

loud and long over the Pennsylvania

They were jubilant over what they
called The support given to GRANTS

no little difference Of opinion among
them as to those results, as to what
they signify, and what they will pro-
