The Nashville American of the 23d inst. says-
There came up IN the Chancery Court yesterday

suit in which the Nashville and Decatur Railroads.

bonds. These bonds were secured by mortgage
upon the road, ETC., and the trustee was empowered
to take possession OF the property mOrtgaged upon
failure OF the company to meet the interest or prin
the bonds matured April /, 1s7O 5000, 900 of them
remain unpaid. The trustee filed his bill TO fore
close the mortgage TO secure possession OF me pro-
fering with him in such possession. motion was
made to have the trustee appointed receiver. This
fOlowng:-I. That the act OF March IS, 1860 is void
as being partial. q The act was not strictly pur-
sideration for the bond. A. That the road is already
in the hands OF the company under bond appointed

and able counsel are engaged on both sides.

"A woman arrived at Albany few days since

ranged by the husband resigning to her all his
personal property, on condition that she should
never bother him again. At last accounts she
was on her way to Indiana in quest of divorce.

A,,sup,ea nou.e Robbery.


About q o'clock this morning three lads en-
tered the yard in the rear OF the residence OF
William s. Hansell No. 1410 Arch street, for
the purpose of robbery. One of their number
was hoisted by the other two to the top of the
kitchen door, the transom glass of which he
broke, and then entered the kitchen. Between
this place and the dining-room was door, the
upper portion being plate glass. This he also
smashed in order to gain ingress. He then pro-
ceeded to open the dining-room window, which
done, one of his companions entered, the other
remaining outside to keep watch. About this
time colored girl living on Cherry street saw
the boy No. 3 in the yard, and called the atten-
ton of Officer Davis, OF the Sixth district force
to the fact. The officer forced the gate, when
the watcher skedadded Climbing through the
window, he made a search, and under the piano
in the parlor found the other two lads. They
gave their names as James Devine and James
Hughes, aged fifteen years each. This morning
they were taken before Alderman Jones, and
committed for further hearing tomorrow.

Resolved, That the Democracy of Con-

veution, in 1862, denounced the legal-ten-
der act as a Congressional usurpation an
Infringement upon the letter and spirit OF
the Constitution, and in violation of tie
rights of the States. In 1870, the SUI
preme Court of the United States aflir,ns
the 20 ition assumed by us in 1862, and
we reiterate the declaration that there
shall be but one currency for the Govern
ment and for the people, and that one the
constitutional currency, rs proclaimed by
Andrew Jackson. and we call unon the
Administration to aid us by honesty and
economy in tile public service, in the re-
storatlon of that currency to the uses of
the people.
Resolved. That the language of Mr.
Dawes, Of Massachusetts, in which he as
serts that in the work of Government
economy "the House could expect no aid
from the other end Of the Capitol (lnean.
ing the Senate) or from the other send of
the avenue" (meaniug the President)
should startle the country and arouse all
good men to unite in overtlrowing a pro-
higate administration, which is confessed

Resolved, That the Democracy of Con-
neotieutsympathize with the people who
struggle for freedom everywhere; and send
their CORDIAL greeting to the patriots of

Resolved, That II direct tax levy in Con-
necticut of over 100000 besides $500, 900
more upon savings banks and other corpe-
ration, is larger amount than should be
taken from the people annually. and we
demand that the public burdens be dimin-
ished by equality in taxation aud econo-
my in the expenditures.
Resolved, That in presenting the honor
ed name of James Il. English as our candi-
date for Governor, we do so with full con-
ilence that we appeal to the best Judgment

sound patriotism of the State; and in the
candidates associated with him we feel as

gG- Alexandria, ON Friday even

and most terrific hail storm. we
have ever witnessed or recorded.
1t continued full forty minutes, fal-
ling thick, and fast and averaged
the largestsize marbles. Much dam.
age was done the gardens and the
sfubbery, and sad havoc was play
ed with the window panes of the
Town. Fully one thousand lights
were smashed in the Town. The
glaciers have been driving fine
business ever since. The hail
storm did not extend far over
the Parish. We can hear of no
damage in the country to the
young corn.

The State Seminary.

We have before us the ANIMAL Re-
port of the Board af Supervisors Of the
Louisiana State Seminary, the name of
which has been changed by the Legis-
lature to Louisiana State University"
Notwithstanding the loss of its build
ing the Seminary has continued to
flourish in its new quarters at Baton
Rouge. During the past year 1916 stu
dents were in attendance, a larger
number than at any previous session.
The University is still occupying it's
temporary quarters in the Asylum at
Baton Rouge, and though much crowd
ed for space, is getting ON as comforta-
bly, as could be expected. The appro-
priation for rebuilding has not yet
been made, if indeed it has ever been
asked for. In recent number of the
Picayune it is stated that Colonel Boyd
intimates that better place for the
location than in Rapides might be
found. This is not true. Colonel Boyd
strongly recommends that it be rebuilt
at its old location. In letter to him
General Sherman speaks of. building it
at the old place as matter of course.
No one, who has, so many memories |
connected with the old place, as the
old and the new Superintendent have,
would ever consent to see it removed. |
Appended to the report of the Su-
perintendent are interesting topo-
graphical, geological and botanical re-
ports by Professors Lockett, Hopkins
and Featherman.
