THE COURTS.

SUPREME CouRr or TnE DISTRICT OF Co.
LuMBIA.-All the justices sat In banc yes
terday, for the trial Of appeal cases.
Kennedy, receiver Of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank, vs.. the National Bank OF the
Metropolis.
This case comes up on appeal. Mr.. Ken
nedy, Of the late Merchants National Bank,
sued the National Bank Of the Metropolis
for $4,000. On the first Of May, 1866, Gen.
Robinson deposited with the National Bank
his check Of that date, In favor Of the Mer-
chants National Bank or order, for $4,000,
and on that day tho amount Of the check was
placed by the Merchants National Bank to
the credit Of Robinson. The check was then
sent To the National Bank Of the Metropolis
by the runner, when tho National Bank Of
Metropolis delivered TO the runner, In pay
ment OF the check, 5000 In currency, O
check Of Hodges, paymaster, for 5000, q
eight draft for 9,630.s7, the check Of g. A..
Sherman, for 5000, q check for t162, aud
the demand note OF Sherman for 10000
with certificate for 5000 shares Of the
Merchants National Bank as collateral.
The teller fthe Merchants National Bank
refused to receive the note Of Sherman for
$50, 900 as part payment OF the Robinson
check, and sent Il back, bat the National
Bank of tho Metropolis refused TO take 1t
back, declaring that II was an official note
Of Sherman as cashier Of the Merchants
National Bank. Thereupon the check and
shares Of stock which accompanied II as
collateral were put In the vaults OF the Mcr-
chants National Bank, where they remained
until the bank failed, on the 4th Of May,
1866, and so passed Into the hands OF the
receiver, who thereupon brings suit upon
them.
The question on which the case turns 10
the appellate court Is, whether or not the
receiver Of national bank, appointed under
the act Of June 8, 1854, has q right to bring
suit In his own name This question, OF
course, affects all questions brought by Mr..
Kennedy as receiver. -.. ..-....
Messrs. Brent and Mcrrick argue that the
receiver In this case being the creation OF q
statute, IL not To be held to the rules govern
Ing receiver appointed by court Of equity
but is, In fact, a legal successor Of the cor.
poratlon authorized to stand In the place Of
the deceased corporation In all that relates
to the settlement Of Its affairs.
Mr.. W. Wilson commended that the receiver
was not authorized by the statute to brinn
suits In his own name, for the bank which hi
represented was still alive, and ho could SUI
In the name Of the bank.
Tho case was still under argument OF tn,
adjournment. Mr.. Davldgo will mako tn,
closing argument this morning.

THH PRICE OF CoAL.-By reference to our
advertising columns It will be seen that
Messrs. Gleason Il Glenn, the heavy coal
dealers Of G street wharf, have increased
their prices Of various kinds Of hard coal 80
cents per ton. This has been rendered
Necessary from the fact that the prices have
advanced In Philadelphia s1.G0 per ton since
Saturday. As the freight to this city Is 40
cents ton, the actual Increase Is S1.00. In
view OF this state of affairs In the coal trade,
1t would be well for those Of our people who
have not already done so to procure thelr
anthracite while the opportunity Is afforded
TO buy lower than In Northern markets.

all the milk that is wanted in fam
lily of eight persons, and from which
was made two hundred and sixty

says: "If you desire to get a large

three times a day, water slightly

Sleeping Together.

The claws of Life'' says more
quarrels arise between brothers, be
tween sisters, between hired girls,
between husbands and wives, owing
to electrical changes through which
their nervous systems go by lodging
together night after night, under
the same bed clothes, than by al
most any other disturbing cause.
there is nothing that will SO derange
the system of a person who is nerv-
Gus in effeminative force as to lie
all night in bed with another person
who is absorbent IN nervous force
The absorber will go to sleep and
rest all night, while the eliminator
will be tumbling and tossing, rest
less and nervous, and wake up in
the morning fretful, peevish, fault
finding and discouraged. No two

should habitually sleep together.
One will thrive and the other will

iFrom the Kenton Republican.
A Lie Nailed.

Van Falkenburgh of the Fremont
Democrat gives publication to the
following scurrilous article of insin-
uation against Gov. Hayes, which
our contemporary over the way takes
the opportunity of copying in his
last weeks paper:
Col. Hayes was a Lieutenant
Colonel of the 23d Ohio Regiment,
and was soon made Colonel. They
entered service and were sent into
West Virginia. The regiment was
in the service nearly year, had no
pay, no clothing and no hopes of
getting anything. Old Rosecrans
was put in command and when he
found out the condition of things
he had the regiment paraded, and
mad with just Indignation, he whip
ped out his sword and taking the
commanding officer by the collar,
told him if his men were not cared
for, he would cut off his shoulder
straps.
The truth Of this matter will be
found il the following communica-
ton handed US by a membe of the
23d regiment, for publication:
KENToN, O., Jnly SO.
EDfToRs REPUBLlCAN-:-Cha
to come across the enclosed article
published in the Kenton Democrat
of last week, wish to be permitted
through the columns of your paper
to refute and deny ali such SANDER
Gus and untruthful charges against
Cat that time) Lieut.. Col Hays.
Gen. Rosecrans was first commits
stoned Colonel Of the regiment, but
was promoted to Brigadier General
before the organization left Camp
Chase. Lieut.. Col Scammon was
then promoted to the Colonelcy,
which position he still held when
Gen. Rosecrans took command OF
the forces in West Virginia, and con-
tinued to hold until the fall of '62,
when he was promoted to Brigadier.
Not until October was Lieut.. Col.
Hayes promoted to Colonel, and
was not responsible for the clothing
or accoutering of the command. I
am fully satisfied that the regiment
was as well cared for during its ser
vice in that Department as any Regi-
ment in West Virginia, and at no
time, did ever hear from any mem
ber Of the command. one word
against Col. Hayes for not providing
for his men, and | make this broad
but truthful assertion that no regi-
ment Jared better or was better
cared for than the 23d, during the
time that Col. Hayes was in com
mand of it and furthermore that he
! was competent, brave and gallant
, officer, who commanded the love
and respect of every soldier in his
regiment AS to this calumniator,
Van Valkenburgh, if he was a SOL
dier in the 23d, I have but to say L
never had the honor { y of meeting
him on the battle field, and am
greatly in doubt if such a person
can be found upon the rolls of the
regiment. Resp'y Yours,
A TwENTY-THIRDER.

Says the n. l. commercial Ad-
vertiser:.
"There are II, ,919 names who pay
an income tax in this city. Sixty
seven persons who pay on incomes
of 100000 or over. Most of those
solid gentlemen are selfmade men,
who have come up from the lowest
round of the ladder. The man who
leads the list, A. T. Stewart, every
body knows, is an Irish emigrant,
who commenced life with capital
of less than twenty-five cents; in
deed, with few exceptions most Of
the parties in the list were scarce as
well off as Mr.. Stewart. Take
Henry Keep; he boasts that he
graduated from tie poor-house
of jefferson county. Jay Gould
drove a herd of cattle from Delhi,
Delaware county, when lad, for
fifty cents a day, in order to get
money enough to reach the Hudson
River. David Groesbeck, over
thirty years ago, used to mend old
shoes for his brother, who was
respectable shoemaker in Albany.
We all know the history of James
Gordon Bennett and Robert Bonner,
poor boys full of talent and indus
try. Rufus Hatch, when a youngs-
ter, had an ambition to hold the
reins of peddler's wagon. E. d.
Morgan commenced life with a
quarter measure of molasses. 1t is
scarce a dozen years since Henry
Clews was an errand-boy in one of
the banking houses down town.
The brothers Seligman started out
in life with peddler's pack. David
Down, in his younger days, retailed
pork by the half pound and molas-
ses by the gill. II. I. Helmbold
was first cabin boy on the sloop
s'Mary june" that navigated the
Delaware River We might go on
through the list, and show that
nearly every one Of these solid
men were the architects of their
own fortunes. Young men who are
struggling for place and position
should remember that the individ-
uals in the list below had to battle
for life just as hard as they are do
ing. Let them take heart and never
say die.

The Newest Grief Of the DemOc-
facy.

ssOne woe doth tread upon anoth-
er's heel, SO fast they follow"
Scarcely had the Democratic State
committed its unfortunate blunder
of nominating a ''bellied butcher
as. their candidate for Governor
when more trouble was heaped on
the Democratic mind by the mis-
take of appointing the pestilent
Thompson with p'' chairman of
the Executive Committee. Then
came the Columbus imbroglio,
which sadly shook confidence in the
propriety of Thompson's holding
the position he had achieved, and, to
crown all, now comes the peremtory
refusal Of Rosecrans to accept the
"honor'' rendered him by the De-
mocracy. This last was ''the most
unkindest cut of all" 1t was bad
enough to kneel and dirt at the feet
of "shoulder- strapped tyrant" and a
prosecutor of the Democratic inno-
cents, but to eat dirt to no purpose,
and be kicked in the face by him be-
fore whom the act of humiliation IN
had been performed, was too much.

prosecutor,

TALE OF A MASQUERADE.
A A1IsCHIEyoUs WIDOW.


A masquerade would hot be much
of an affair if there were not some
ludicrous scenes attached to it or
connected with it. Last evening
that of the Musical Society was no
exception to the general rule, and
any number of funny incidents
transpired.
No'person failed to notice con-
spicuous costume present, gentle
man dressed as a Spanish cavalier
a very nest and tasty dress. set off
upon a well built and athletic frame.
The gentleman, whom we shall call
X, paid particular, indeed, mostde
voted attention to pink domino
enshrouding a sylph-like form, act
ing as her escort at all times, and
paying no attention worth noticing
to any body else. In promenading
or in resting they were in earnest
conversation, and the ladies, who
could not fail to notice them,
thought he must be a duck of a
fellow to pay so much attention,
while the gentlemen thought she
must be divine little angel to
listen so devotedly to all his soft
things. Perhaps both OF. them were
just what they had the credit of
being - =;
The Cavalier was legal gentle
man of our city,and the pink dom
ino was mo natter who.just now.
The gentleman is married and has
a small family. He loves his wife,
but people do whisper that some
times he loves other peoples just
as much. The cavalier proposed
some time since to go to the bali,
but his wife insisted that her health
was not very good, and as there
would be something of a crowd
present she would not go-to her,
masquerades We're very tedious
affairs at best. That X, was de
lighted with the determination there
is no doubt. He did not say so,
however but the day his wife de
cided not to go he met in company
young and pretty widow, and, in
the heatof the excitement, asked
her to accompany him to the mas
querade. The widow was possessed
of bosom full of fun,l and she
consented to go. X fitted her out
with a costume and a pink domino,
and, as everybody saw who noticed
it, very pl city and expensive. Now
concluding to go, she had some
object in view, evidently, for yester
dsy, SO runs the story, she saw x
go away from home, when she
sought the presence of his wife ane
told her the whole story, and il
conclusion she said:
"Now you've heard the whole
That good for nothing husband o
yours has been paying too many
attentions to me of late, and dc
not like it. 1fyou are a woman o
spirit, you will play trick on hin
for this; and if you are not, why
I'll go with him to the masquerade
and l will flirt with him all the even
ing just as hard as everI know
how"
It is presumed the wife was not
woman of spirit, for last eveninr

and very loyer-like assisted a dom

DRESSINGS IN CHURCH OUT OF
TAsTE.-Harper's Bazar has some
reputation in the fashionable world,
and is certainly free from the charge
of prudery. Many may give heed
to criticism of dress in such a journ-
al who would not listen to sugges-
tions of those speaking from a pro-
fessedly religious standpoint. Yet
this fashionable authority thus de-
nounces the display of dress that
is so common in our houses of
worship:
"The best bred people of every
Christian country but our own
avoid all personal display when en-
gagged il worship and prayer. Our
churches, On the contrary, are
made places for exhibition of fine
apparel and other costly and faunt
ing compliances with fashion, by
those who boast of superior wealth
and manners. We shall leave our
gewgawed devotees to reconcile
humiliation in worship with vanity
in dress. How far fine clothes may
affect the personal piety of the
devotee we do not pretend even to
conjecture; but we have very de-
cided opinion in regard to their in
f1uence upon the religion OF Others.
The fact is, that our churches are
so futtering with birds of fine feath-
ers that no sorry fowl will venture
in. 1t is impossible for poverty, in
rags and patches, OF even in decent
but humble costume, to take its
seat, if it should be so fortunate as
to find a place, by the side weallh
in brocade and broadcloth. The
Church being the only place on
this side of the grave designed for
the rich and the poor to meet to
gether in equal humility before
God, it certainly should always be
kept free to all. 1t is so in most of
the churches in Europe, where the
beggar in rags and wretchedness
and the wealthiest and most emf
nent, whose appropriate sobriety of
dress leaves them without mark of
external distinction, kneel down to-
gether, equalized by common
humiliation before the only Supreme
Being. The adoption of a more
simple attire for church on the part
of the rich in this country would
have the effect-certainly not OF
diminishing their own personal
piety, but probably of increasing
the disposition for religious OBJ
servance on the part of the poor. -
