The Grand Camp of Pale Faces closed
their meeting in the city yesterday, after
one of the most successful and harmonious
sessions ever held. Their meeting yester-
day was a pleasant social, and business
reunion, and the session last night was
protracted to a late hour, large amount
of business was transacted, and the utmost
good feeling and hamony prevailed. The
Grand Camp Is in a highly fourishing
condition. The session adjourned at y
O'Clock last night. We have the interest
ing proceedings infull, and regret sincerely
that the verycrowded state of our columns
compels US to defer their publication in this

There is darkey in the city who was
employed by the old city government in
some sort of supernumery capacity, for
which services he received a claim upon
the city. He has, we believe, at no less
than one or two stores, purchased goods to
its amount, promising payment as soon as
the ''oIaim" was iquidated. Yesterday he
made application at the Mayors Office Cor
wood. When being told that the corpora
ton had no wood, he again mentioned the
irrepressible ''claim," stating that the
amount of the wood could be deducted
when the city settled with him. Failing to
make the contract, he departed without
his wood.

IMPORTANT CHANCERY SUIT.
$1,000 Involved.


Messrs. Frierson and Dale, Of Columbia,
Tenn, entered into a written contract to
deliver to John Heffner and A. J. Duncan,
Of Nashville, at the Depot of the Nashville
and Decatur Railroad, within forty days, q
lot of cotton seed not exceeding $4,000
bushels. for which Hefner and Duncan
agreed to pay 81 per bushel, and furnish
the sacks. Frierson and Dale delivered
some 5000 bushels in a short time after
ward, and undertook to deliver some 5000
or 1000 more on the last day of the forty
DAYS, but did not finish the delivery until
about II o'clock at night on that day.
During the latter part of the night it rained
very hard and some of the seed were much
damaged. Heffner and Duncan claim
that they received the cotton seed under
protest. and now insist that there was no
delivery in accordance with the contract.
and that they are not bound for more than
the seed were worth in the market when
delivered. Cotton seed had then declined
in price to seventy-fve or eighty cents in
consequence of the floods having broken
railroad communication with Georgia. Fri
erson and Dale filed bill to enforce a
specific performance of the contract and
attaching the seed. The Chancellor yes
terday decreed that the contract contem-
plated that the seed were to be purchased
at Columbia, and shipped to Nashville on
the railroad, and that they were to be there
placed IN the depot and taken care Of by
the road under their responsibility as
common carriers. That the delivery was
not made under these circumstances, but
having been purchased in Nashville, the
cotton seed were taken to the depot with
no design of being shipped but merely as
place of delivery and left on the ground,
the road being under no obligation to take
care of them That under these circum-
stances, defendants might have declined to
receive them, but having received them
and shipped them South, they must be
held to have waived this irregularity and
to have received them under the contract,
and hence are bound for the price stipula-
ted in the contract

From parties visiting andpassing through

shipped than usual from that region at this
season of the wear.

rInch To His Vexation.

The Mayors Office continues to be
thronged daily with paupers and mendi-
cants who represent themselves as in des-
titute and suffering condition, food and
fuel being the principal sources of their
griefs, the latter being in especial demand.
There being neither fuel at the disposal of
the authorities, nor funds in the treasury
with which to procure it, the Mayor is re-
duced to the vexatious necessity of sending
them away empty handed.
