THE NEWpHIS MAIL,

We call the particular attention of
our Postmaster to the following, from
the Mobile Register. We hope the
suggestiono of change, by way of Hum
bOldt, will be adopted:
THE MEMPHIS MAIL.-This mail is ha-
bitually behind those from moro distant
points, owing to imperfect connections.
We learn that the difficulty arises from
the fact of its arrival at Corinth about two
hours after the down train, and that the
difficulty could be remedied by sending it
via Humboldt. This looks like a strange
direction for reaching Mobile with dis
patch, but nevertheless, the mail 50 sent,
would arrive ut Humboldt i'll time for the
down train. and wOuld reach Mobile
twentv-four hours sOOne than it now
does.

COLD FOR COTTON.

The New York Times speaking of
the "gOld for cotton" movement,
which it does not think impracticable,
says:
The cotton crop of the present year, if
sold for specie, at present prices, would
realize to the Southern planters between
three and fonr hundred million of dollars
in gold; and thought is against helnterest
of England and other cOtton-purchasing
countries to pay for it in coin, il is I'M
doubtedlv for the interest of the South to
sell for coin as far as possible. There are
obstacles TO the success of the which
we do not see any prospect of being sur
mounted: but we hall be- glad to see the
planters, factors and shippers makethe at
Tempt and achieve whatever success IS
practicable.

whole thereof to the County Court
Clerk. After this action on the part
of The Sheriff, the plaintiff, Dickinson,
recovered a Judgment against Tame
hill in the attachment suit, and OBJ
tanned from the Court an order Of sale
of the attached property. A Vendi--
toni e1p0ris was then issued to the
Sheriff, who returned the same imme-
diately to the Court with this return
endorsed tereon: "Come to hand
too late to execute" he having in fact
sold the property twelve months be-
fore under the distress warrant. A
second Cenditionf e1ponis was there
upon issued to the Sheriff, who re-
turned the same not executed, and
in his return endorsed as his JUS
LITIGATION the sale under the
distress warrant and the payment of
| the proceeds to the County Clerk, set
ting out the facts fully. Whereupon
this motion was made against the
Sheriff, first for a false return; sec
ondly, for an insufficient return and
thirdly for a failure to pay over the
money collected from the sale of the
attached property.
Held, Smith, Judge, delivering the
opinion of the Court, that a remedy
by motion does not lie against a col
lecting officer for a false return, unless
the return is false upon its face,
although the return be false in fact,
and the Sheriff is hence not liable in
this case, by reason of his first return,
though the same be false in fact. >
Under the Code, $50, the lien for the
tax and penalty for the exercise of
the privilege of making theatrical
exhibitions in the Greenlaw Opera
House was on the building itself, and
not on the property of the lessee,
Tamehill, attached at the suit of the
plaintiff. The attachment being first
levied was entitled to the priority,
and the Sheriff having paid over the
proceeds to the County Court Clerk
wrongfully, is liable to the plaintiff
by this motion, the return on Its face
being insufficient, andhe having failed
to pay the money on demand.
Judgment below affirmed.

Tho Delegate Ticket.

We do not consider it in the line Of
our duty TO undertake to say who shall
be the candidates on the Legislative
Ticket--such is farthest from our wishes
or intention, but at the same time, we
do most sincerely urge upon the Con.
vention to place no man before the PEG.
pie for sutfrages unless he be worthy to
receive the same. The greatest care
should be exercised in the selection Of
proper candidates for tho Legislature,
and no one should be accepted on the
Delegate ticket unless he can be relied
upon through ALL emergencies as a
steadfast friend to the prosperity of his
county. Important business will be
before the Legislature this winter, such
as may require INTEGRITY as well
as intelligence, to properly comprehend
and attend to. This county has much
at stake in the ultimate results that
will follow the deliberations OF the next
Legislative body-and not the least Of
which is her Railroad interest.
The citizens Of this county, without
regard to partizan feeling, would unite
in one acclaim against any effort that
should be made, to in any manner i'm
pair or abridge the prospect of a further
extension or completion Of the Western
Maryland Railroad, for this is mate.
rial question in which we all have
direct interest-and that interest will
demand hearing at the polls this fall.
IL is not as threat, that we give this
expression Of our views, but simply 10
the discharge Of the duty we owe to the
Democratic party of this county, aud
we should feel that we had played false
to that duty, had we remained silent in
the presence Of danger.
