DECI>ION IN BANK
RUPTCY.

The Attorney General Of Indiana has
rendered the following opinion concern
ing the legal effect of discharge in bank
ruptcy upon State taxes, in response to
letter Of inquiry from T. B. McCarty,
Auditor OF State "The third clause Of
the twenty eighth section of the bank
rupt act provides that all debts due to
the State, in which the proceedings in
bankruptcy are pending, and all taxes
and assessments made under the laws Of
such State, shall be entitled to priority
or preference, and be paid in full, subject
only to the costs and fees in bankruptcy,
and debts and taxes due to the
United States This places debts and
taxes due the State in the list of pre-
ferred claims for full payment, subject to
the fees aforesaid, and debts and taxes to
the United States. By State laws all
taxes are made lien on the property
owned by the person from whom the
taxes are due. The assignees in banks
ruptcy are subject to the same equities
to which the bankrupt himself was subs
iect, so that the title does not divest
legal or equitable lien and they can affect
only such property as the bankrupt is
equitably as well as legally entitle to.
Hence, when a valid lien for taxes at
taches to the property of the bankrupt,
the law continues that lien in the hands
of the assignee and his vendse. The
State may prove her claim, and take full
pay as provided by law, or if there is
deficiency in the property, take her pro-
portion under the order of the Court,
and thus fund the property. Otherwise.
the lien continues in the property and
must fioally be paid by the purchaser.

THE RICHEST BOY AMERICA

The son of John Sears, of Boston, who
died ten years ago, is popularity supposed
to be the richest boy in the United
States. Heis fourteen years Of age. The
father, whose property was valued at
S1,0O0OO0, after bequeathing small sums
to his relatives, provid d that his son
should have 800 annually until attain>
ing the age of twenty one the sum Of
$4,000 at that period $4,000 annually
until he had passed the age Of twenty,
four $1,000 annually until he had passed
the age of thirty, and $4,000 per snnum
after that time. Young Sears is we'll
provided for, to say the least, but he is
not, perhaps, the richest young man in
America, as is commonly supposed.
Thus much money shalt thou have, and
no MORE" seems to have been the inten-
ton Of the rich father, who knew the
value Of money, and felt content to be-
queath the young man sufficient to give
him good education, and funds enough
to commence business with in good shape
seven years hence. The property re-
mains in the hands of three trustees, and
the simple interest on the original
amount, added to the principal, has
reached the sum of SO, 100000, while the
assessed value of the real estate bringing
this sum is valued at 100000. The
trustees have a salary Of S., 900 each, and
the commission received from the collec-
ton ofrents amount to a sum equal to the
salary of the President of the United
States. Young Sears is now in Europe,
where he is fitting himself for the active
duties of life.-HdTrisburg telegraph.

A SINGULAR WILL.

Thos C. Moore, q wealthy bachelos
formerly of Brooklyn, n. Y, but recenr
ly of New Jersey, died recently. In hit
will liberal provision is made for severn,
relatives, but great portion of his estatl
seems to have been devised for purposee
of charity and religious benevolences
One bequest is peculiar. The sum of.
sd 600 is set apart as fund for the re-
lief of destitute widows and children of
Southern soldiers who died or were
killed in the late war, in the eastern part
Of South Carolina, North Carolina and
Georgia. Another sum is set aside for
the rebuilding or repairing Of churches,
without regard to sect or denomi-
nation, injured by the late war,
within the districts Of the States
named. Upwards of $4,000 is left to
various churches and benevolent socie-
ties, including $1,000 to the American
Seamen's Friend Society, $1,000 to
Presbyterian missions, $1,000 to the
American Home Missionary Society, and
$1,000 to Reformed Dutch missions
After the death of his sister certain real
estate is to be sold and the following
legacies paid out Of the proceeds /: Ameri-
can Home Missionary Society, $4,000 /;
American Board of Commissioners Of
Foreign Missions, $4,000; American
Tract Society, $4,000, and to the Ameri>
can Bible Society the remainder and
residue of all such moneys. He leaves
$4,000 to be invested for the benefit Of
Electa P. Moore, and at her death the
principal to be divided between the
American Bible and the American Tract
Societies. The residuary, either through
being overlooked or from ROn-acceptance
of legacies, or whatever other cause, goes
to the American Bible Society.

Feeling in Regard 10 wilson's Bill
Action OF the Chamber Of Commerce.
NLw YORK, Jan. THE Commercial
to. day says the claims ex-senator Wilson's
bill proposing to prohibit the eertifcation
of checks and payment of interest and
deposits, has produced strong feeling
among,national banks. One bank is ask
ing consentof stockholders to reorganize,
under the State laws. A private capitalist
is also said to be taking measures for
organization of State bank. Should
Congress sanction this clause prohibiting
payment interest on deposits, there can
be little doubt that we should witness the
organization of new State banks and
conversion of national into State institu
ton.
The Chamber of Commerce to-day
adopted memorial declaring Congress to
be the only power having jurisdiction to
grant franchises to the Atlantic Cable
Company.
A. A. Low submitted a resolution

and RelnfOrcemeRts
from Little Rock Sent for.

The meeting called for yesterday after
noon, ut Mound City, Of the refugees
from Arkansas, and their friends, was
on maturer consideration dispensed with,
and, instead, yesterday morning a joint
committee of citizens of Memphis, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas, with NJ. Il. Cochs
ran, Esq as chairman, went over to
Marion to confer with the militia forces.
We understand that the committee, TO
the number of nine, went hence to
Mound City, where they found horses
prepared for them, and thence they went
to Marion under flag of truce. Here
they found the militia encamped and
fortified around the jail, to the public
square, enclosing the Jail, and are repre-
scented as quite formidable, at least to
infantry without artillery. They consist
of an earthwOrk about eight feet thick,
an palisades, with ditch on the inside,
running around the Jail on three sides,
the lake forming the rear defense. The
jail is further fortified, by a second line
of redoubts which completely surround it,
and makes it impregnable to any force
without artillery.
The militia are in four companies, aud
when they first arrived did not number
more than ninety, or at furthest, a huns
bred men, but have been recruited since
they arrived up to about three hundred.
They are of every age, from mere boys
of twelve years Of age up to decrepid
old men, white and black indiscriminate-
ly, and uniformed in every description
of tOggery.
The officers met the committee, and
informed them that they were sent to
the place for a specific purpose, when
they accomplished which they would
leave, and not till then. This specific
purpose was the arrest of twelve citizens,
four Of whom they already had in jail
They had sent to Little Rock for $50 |
cavalry with which they intended to
scour the country and catch tho other
eight They refused to give the names of |
the parties or the crimes they are ae-
eused Of
They informed the committee further
that two citizens had been furnished |
with a written parole, at the request Of
the citizens, who instructed them to 90

agitating an attack upon the militia, and
beg them to desist Any attack would
now be only "heaping Goals of fire" upon
