sTovement for ahc Establishment of

STovenlent for she Establishment of
the TrinbIe Misunderstanding Conn
pany.
We are pleased to learn that the enter
prising citizens whose names are mentioned
in the act passed by the General Assembly
of 1867, incorporating the Trimble Manu-
featuring Company, and those who have
since associated themselves with the incor-
porators, are about taking active
measures towards the establishment of the
proposed mandatory. The act of in
corporation specifies that the Asso-
citation shall be known as
the s'Trimble Manufacturing Company"
and that the incorporators, Messrs. John
Hollopetor, E. Elliott Adams, w. w.
Woodmanse, John Lumsden, their asso-
ciates and successors, are created body
corporate and polite, for the purpose of
manufacturing and repairing all and every
kind of agricultural implements, engines,
machinery, etc., for which purpose they
may erect all necessary buildings, store
houses, depots, etc. The charter further
provides that the capital stock of said com
pany shall be 800, 900, with the privilege
of increasing the same not to exceed
$500, 900, the same to be divided into
shares of $50 each; and that as soon as
49, 900 of said capital stock shall
be subscribed, the company may
commence active operations, and that
the stock may be subscribed in money or
in personal or real property as may be
agreed upon. The members of the
association are now negotiating with the
North Nashville Land Company for the
purchase of site for their factory, and it
is probable that the land necessary for the
purpose will be purchased this week. 1t is
Immediately adjacent or quite near the
land to be occupied by the buildings of the
Tennessee Manufacturing Company. Books
for the subscription of stock in this new
factory for the manufacture of agricultural
implements and machinery will be opened
next week, and in the meantime the neces-
sary steps will be taken for properly intro
ducing the enterprise to the attention of
our citizens.

natl Southern Railroad bill by % to -.
The bill pending in the House is the one
containing amendments upon which the

this will doubtless pass the House.
There is no hope of its becoming law
by the present Legislature. The friends

other defendants, his sureties, have ap
pealed in error to this Court

other defendants, his sureties, have ap-
pealed in error to this Court
1t is now suggested and admitted that
Cruise, the defendant in error in this
cause, has deceased since the taking of
said appeal, and motion is made to re-
vive the suit in the name of his admins
traitor.
II is also admitted that Cruise, after
the taking of the appeal and before his
death, was declared bankrupt, and an
assignee of his estate was regularly ap-
pointed, and 1t is now commended that the
suit must be revived, if revived at all, in
the name of his assignee, and not in that
of his administrator.
If the interest of Cruise, the plaintiff in
the judgment, passed upon his bankrupt
cy to his assignee, then the reviyor
ought to be in the name of the
assignee By the provisions of the
Bankrupt Act the assignee is entitled to
prosecute and defend all suits at law and
in equity, pending at the time of the
adjudication of bankruptcy, in which the
bankrupt is a party, in his own name.
Secs. 14-16.
In such case the entire interest of the
plaintiff in the judgment having passed
to his assignee the administrator takes no
interest and has no title to represent the
plaintiff in the suit. An appeal in error
is suit, and it suspends without annul-
ing the judgment of the inferior Court.
The judgment in favor of Cruise repre-
snted debt, which, on his bankruptcy,
vested in his assignee, subject to any
equities which his sureties might have
therein, whether the cause of action, on |
which this judgment was rendered was
before judgment of such nature as to
pass to the assignee or not.
By Code, Sec. 1850: eff the decedent |
has parted with his interest pending the
suit, it may be revived by or against the
successor in interest instead of the repre-
or heir"
This suit should therefore be revived
against the assignee in bankruptcy, and
not against the administrator of the de-
ceased defendant in error.

At the November term, 1866, of the
Circuit Court for Lincoln county, judg-
ment was rendered upon motion in favor
of Hugh Douglass and others, against
Moses Cruise, Sheriff of SAID county, and
against his official sureties, for an INSULT
Gent return Of an execution issued to said
Sheriff in favor of Douglass and others,
the plaintiffs in that motion.
This execution was in the hands of
William Moffitt, one of the present plain
tiffs in error, as deputy of said Cruise,
and the defective return, which was the
occasion of the judgment against Cruise
and his sureties, was made by said Moffitt
as such deputy.
For this default Cruise moved for jGdg-
ment against Moffitt and the sureties, up
on his official bond as Deputy Sheriff, and
recovered judgment against them upon
the motion, on the 18th day OF March,

desires us to say that persons who have
lost or mislaid their certificates can have
the same renewed by application at his
office. In few days he will be prepared

and in order to prevent crowding and con-
fusion Immediately preceding the election,
it is hoped that persons entitled to certlti-
Gates will apply for them as soon as con-
venient. In order that he may be pre-

Speaking Of the Orphans Concert at
Louisville, the CouTier-Jo1HRdI of yester-
day says:
The opening concert of the GAINESVILLE
Confederate orphans was given last night
at Masonic Hall-not to a crowded house,
strange to say. This, however, it is hoped,
will not be the case again at any time dur
ing the season, for no entertainment could
be more deserving of a generous patronage.
We can scarcely afford to let the orphans
90 back to GAINESVILLE empty-handed from
a city so rich and populous as ours. The
house should be well filed every night dur
ing their stay. Let us by all means see to
it that there be no more vacant chairs at

THE HIS Cx) MARK EXPLAINED


A statement appears in some of our
exchanges to the effect that there is to-
bacconist of Richmond, worth $780, 900,
who has to make his OK" being inca
pabe of writing his own name. 1t is well
to call TO mind how this story originated.
When Mr.. jefferson Davis gave his bail
bond here, Mr.. James Thomas, one of the
bondsmen, was quite i'll, and so very nerv-
Gus that he could scarcely hold pen to
paper at ALL Accordingly he had his
name written, and then affixed his mark,
as the law required. Mr.. Thomas b.
Price, (now deceased who was blind,
had his name signed to the same bond
also by another person, likewise append
ing his mark. 1t is well known here that
both Of these gentlemen were abundantly
able to sign their names, except that they
were physically incapacitated at the time.
The bond referred to has been litho-
graphed, and copies have been scattered
10 all parts of the world, with no com
mentary explaining the curious appear
ance of two cross marks among the sigma
lures to the bail bond of the famous OK
President of the Southern Confederacy,
and hence the miSapprChcnsion in regard
to the facts.

This is an action of trespass brought in
the Circuit Court of Franklin County to
recover damages for cutting timber on the
land of the plaintiff.
After declaration and plea filed, the de-
PENDENT Davenport filed sworn petition
in the cause under the act of Congress
of March 8, 1868, and May IL, 1866,
stating that the alleged trespasses were
committed during the late rebellion under
and by virtue of orders issued by Maj
Gen. George II. Thomas, commanding
the Department of the Cumberland, and
for the purposes of the United States
Military Railroad, and praying that the
cause be transferred to the Circuit Court
of the United States for the Dis
trict of Tennessee.
Upon this petition the Circuit Court of
Franklin county ordered that the
cause be transferred 60 the Circuit
Court of the United States at Nashville
and that the Clerk certify the papers and
records in the cause to that Court, to
which order the plaintiff excepted and
prayed an appeal to this Court, which was
granted.
We notice but one of several questions
raised upon this appeal.
The judgment appealed from is not a
final one. The cause is not finally dis
posed of, no adjudication is made of any
question of fact or of law in the case, no
judgment for costs was rendered, or could
have been rendered. 1t is true the case is |
finally disposed of so far as the Circuit |
Court of Franklin county is concerned; |
but not by a final judgment. 1t is pro-
ceeding analogous to the change of venue |
provided for by the statutes of this State,
and which does not involve any final
Judgment in the case. The laws of the |
United States, under which this proceed
ing is had, are also the law of this
State, and under them the cause
is simply transferred by a purely
order from one tribunal to
another. If we can control the action of
inferior courts in granting orders of this
nature in any mode, it cannot be done
upon an appeal from the order.
The appeal must be dismissed upon the
ground that an appeal will not lie from
The order in question and the cause re-
mitted to the Circuit Court of Franklin
county. GEO. ANDREWS, Judge
