THE COUNTY CUsTODlANS.
A Card from Mr.. ]. ]. Powers and Col. Leon
Trousdale.

We cheerfully accord space to the fol-
lowing communication from J. J. Powers,
ESQ, County Trustee, and Col. Leon
T~rousdale, his book-keeper. We will say
in this connection that not for a moment
did we doubt that the affairs of the Coun-
tv Trustees office were in the condition
in which the appended card declares them
to be, and we utterly repudiate any desire
or intention to cast any reflection upon
the same, either directly or by inuendO-
entertaining for both of the gentlemen
Jas does every n who know them the
warmest sentiments of respect and es-
tenn:
COUNTY TRUSTEES OFFICE,
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 4, 1869.
Editors Memphis Appeal:
Gentlemen: In your noticeCi the action
of the Grand Jury for the Circuit Court,
in yesterdays APPEAL, you observe that
it is understood that the investigation
Instituted by the appointment of w. b.
Greenlaw and G.. L. W. Lewis q Commit
tee Of Investigation will develop h fact
that the public treasury is in the hands of
irresponsible custodians." If his Ian
guage is to be understood as referring to
the office of County Trustee, we take
this opportunity to state that the bond Of
the County Trustee, which has nov been
declared insufficient as to the amount re-
quired by the Court, has heretofore been
fully investigated and held sufficient.
If there is now any defect it is merely
technical. and does not reach the respon-
sibility Of the parties. If any criticism is
intended to be limited as to the manner in
which business is conducted in this Of
flee, we have only to say that we chal-
lenge the fullest, amplest and most scruti-
nizing investigation, either by the Grand
Jury or by private citizens, and if every
act and transaction is not clearly set forth
and amply justified, so as to prove that
the "~custodians - of the County Treas
ury are in every sense responsible and
faithful TO their trusts, in that case we
shall claim no exemption from the criti-
cism of the press. But until that investi-
CATION shall be made, which we again
challenge and demand, we acknowledge
no responsibility for idle inuendos.
Very respectfully,
j.. J. POWERS,
County Trustee.
LEON TROUSDALE,
Book Keeper.

HENRY farmers CONCERT.-Seldom.
we are convinced, have the music-loving
portion of u community been treated to
| such an entertainment as was provided
for them last night, at the New Memphis.
by Henry Farmer, Der ZaabeF FyOeter,
and his friends who assisted him-Miss
Generes, Mr.. Leo Wheat, H. T. TOmlin-
son, Prof. Hollenberg, Mr.. Williams, and
the City Band. The programme was one
which evinced rare taste both IN selection
and arrangement, and displayed to the
best advantage, each voice ndinstrument
taking part in it. The overture was from
Rossini's SepirGBtis, by the City Band,
piapoand organ. twas followed by a flute
duo, Tire tx, by Henry Farmer and Harry
Tomlinson, which was inexpressibly
sweet and delightful. Leo Wheat next
gave Gottschalk's rendition of Ache Ia
morte (IrOUdtofe) on the piano, and it is
needless for us to say that it was a most
brilliant production, showing him to be
one ofthe first of living pianists. But it
remained for the next piece, an aria from

that our friend Farmer may be induced to |

The Congressional Nomination.

Our Congressional Convention meets al Bridgeport, next week Wednesday. It is conceded that the Booming man" is to come from Fairfield county. One other thing is certain: whoever is nominated will owe us nothing; for we shall do nothing to help anybody to the nomination. About two years since we gave some advice and uttered some prophecies. Unluckily ou, advice was rejected; and, more unluckily still. our prOphesiss came true Conse. quently, we are not encouraged to advise and prophecy any more. rcd ss 5eoe :
 One thing,I Ithough, we have at heart. We beseech the Convention to nominate q man, hota 5ssScbss pocka.
