INTERESTING CASE.
A Ten Thousand Dollar Life In
surance Policy Involved.

Sjmo months ago a gentleman named
PsrhaGa, who was then a member of
the firm of Shelton, Psrham & Privet,
insured his life for the sum of ten thou
sand dollars, in favor of his sister,
to be paid to her in case of death.
Mr.. Psrham drew the money to pay
the first premium, n hundred and
twenty-five dollars, from the funds of
the company, who were cotton brokers,
doing business on Front street. Shortly
after taking out the policy, and before a
renewal premium was due, Mr.. Par
ham died.
Tbs sister for whose benefit the policy
was taken came forward and claimed
the insurance. The company were ready
to settle with her, but the surviving part
ners of her brother, Messrs. Shelton &
Privet, laid ID. injunction upon them
fOrbiddiDg them to pay the money to
her.
The ground upon which this Injunction
was obtained was, that Mr.. PArham's &C.
count with the firm was o~verdrawn, and
he was already in debt to them when he
drew the hundred and twenty-five dol
lars to pay the premium, and that he
had never made the sum good.
The csse came up for a hearing, on q
motion to dissolve the injunction, in the
Chsncery Court yesterday, and after be-
ing ably argued by the counsel on both
sides was decided in favor Of the lady,
the Chancellor dissolviug the Injunction,
but allowing Messrs. Shelton q Privet
one hundred and twenty-five dollars and
on the same to date.

ELMWOOD

Elitcre Memphis Appeal
/ noticed in yo2r paper for the last two
Sundays a card from the managers Of
" ElmwOod Cemetery, - setting forth the
iibsrslity of the owners, or Board OF
Directors, to the people, who are by the
force OF circumstances, compelled to bury
their departed friends 10 that sacred spot.
1 shall be glad, when I am satisfied that
the impression is eProheoUs, which pre-
walls Ia this city, that the object Of the
stockholders Is aot speculation, for, lean
hardly believe that q number of cur
Oldest and most respected citizens, would
be guilty OF specializing off the dead, or
their beTeaved friends. But such is the
impression, caused, L presume, by the
d "a price charged for lots, say for q lot
we'll located, s0zA feet, two hundred dol
LAYS. II is evident to lay Laind
that the income arising from
the sale Of lots, is not ex-
pended in improvement Of the grounds.
II am.wroug, |, in common with many
others, desire to be set right. 1t is due
TO the public that the " managers "
should make d statement of the facts,
and satisfy them that the object is not
SPECULATION. Let them state
Ist. The nmoUnt Of stock subscribed
by the original Stockholders. II think
il 1851.
p. How much Of that stock was
paid in?
80. Was the stock ever increased by
the payment Of more money?
IN. Was the stock ever " watered,u

7th, How much dividend, both cash
and stock, has been declared to stock
holders since the establishment of the

7th. o. what terms would the stock
holders agree to surrender in the city
their Interest to the cemetery?
all well regulated cities have q pride
in the beauty Of their buryiDg grounds,
and unless owned by SONS religious asso-
citation, and used for a resting placs for
those belonging to q particular religious
faith, it is right and proper that they
should belong to the city, aud be man
aged by q board of patriotic citizens, in
stead Of being owned by stockholders
who are deriving q revenue from the
misfortunes of others. Unless 8 better
understanding exists between the people
and stockholders or managers OF Elm
wood, than at present. the city ought at
once to purchase ground and establish a
cemetery which would be under her o n
troll, and where lots would be sold at q
reasonable price, and the income, after
paying actual expenses, appropriated to
Identifying the grounds.
It is due to the public that the g man
ayers should make q fair statement,
and 1 hope they will not refuse to do so.

thirteen mortal hours, and in their

acres OF ground, and there was ten rebels
on every single one of the State BLACK
Guards, and one Of the latter got his
thumb nearly chsWed off before he
" hollered nuff.n But to our story:
a few days ago, a negro, whose name
we could n~Otlesrn, had = citizen Of Bates
vile arrested fer beating him. For this
reason, so it is said, the party's friends
talked sbout lynching the dsrky, and
Saturday night last was set as the time
for this interesting ceremony to come
of. This was done, SO it appears, in Sc
cret conclsve, but the matter was nOised
about and came to the ears Of the COM
mandsnt OF the pos st Pamela Saturday
afternoon, and he Immediately started q
company Of troops to the scene Of the
impending conflict to protect the darby.
The military met with Do adventure or
opposition in their march until within
about two miles OF Batesville. But here
they were startled at a turn of the road
by the loud, sharp command, " halt :"
and the challenge, which ruGg out on
the midnight air and brought every man
+" up standing Who goes there ?"
Before anybody had time to answer,
the moon which had hid her face q mo-
ment before, under 8 cloud, shOae out
and disclosed a company Of mounted
Ku-KluX, in all their h9rrid psrspher-
MALTA, occupying the road. in position,
and ready 10 dispute the way. Few and
short were the words of the party. Each
party Wes fixed for war, and the dread
tCcsiR sounded, and the fOemen mixed"
The fight was terrific; and i" cavalry
charges" against infantry, and in
fsntFy charges" against cavalry, that
are frightfUl to contemplate, were made.
How long the battle lasted we know not,
but our informant states that there were
several hundred shots fired.
All at once, something scared the ku-
KluX, and they Extraordinarily and

He wss mounted On 8 mule, and the
mule would not fly. In vsin the savage
Ku-Kiux cussed and spurred him the
mule obstinately stood still, moving
neither backward nor forward. and, at

was surrounded and captured.
On tearing of his mask he vas found
to be q man named Jesse Rhodes, who
lives in the neighborhood Of B~stesville.
He was put in irons Immediately, and
