mined to deliver his deliberately prepared
argument, and read his numerous au-
thorities. One of them upset the hasty
opinion Of the court, and his honor with
drew his former decision and gave judg-
ment against the persistent pleader, to
the great amusement of his legal brethren
present. The moral of this is, don't
crowd your man to the wall after he has
surrendered either to force or argument.

MONEY.


The money market opens to-day with about
the same features it had yesterday. Loanable
funds are abundant, and good mercantile pa
per is in demand, with the wants of borrowers
quito limited. Such is the ease and so album
dant the supply Of funds that many of our
merchants are anticipating their not es due
fifteen days and a month hence, and re can
ceiling them. There is nothing in the IN cream
tile trade requiring much money, and there
are no speculative enterprises sufficiently in
viting to tempt capitalists. and so far as we
can interpret the future. there is not likely to
be any call for money for sometime; the rates
of discount in bank are to 10 per emit, and
about the same in the open market.
There is but little improvement i the sup.
ply of exchange; $4,000 in cotton bills was
taken by one bank this morning at ar and an
accommodation transaction of slO 200 New
York exchange was made between banks at
the rate of 81 so premium per $1,000 Except
ing the above, transactions were limit ed.
Cotton bills offer slowly. and are read
lily taken at par by all the banks; Eastern
exchange in round sums would also b, taken
at 1-lO to 81 Is per $1,000 pre,uium while mailer
amounts are taken at par. Selling rat es are
firm at &c premium on all Eastern and West
ern cities. We quote the current rates IS fol-
lows: New York, Boston. Philadelphia and
Baltimore. par buying, and &c premium SELL
ing; New 0rleans-5sc discount buying. and
par selling.
The demand for county scrip continues -ae-
tive. and there is but little if any offering zoe
is the rate offered by dealers to-day. and N 20
re is the selling rate.
Bank of Tennessee money is bought at
75c; selling rates are 76c. Memphis es
are bought at $50 and sold at 5yIkc.
Gold-bearing bonds are 62 to Csc briying
and selling. Mississippi and Tennessee rail
road stock is in request at Ice, and is sold at
2Oc. Gold is higher. owing to an advance in.
New York; dealers buy at 10 and sell at 100

at the rate given.

that sent Darboy to his last account. At Que
OF the recent meetings, long discussion arose
between the committee and delegation IRON
the "Frate,nelle," society composed OF. lS4s
ref,oees who assist with funds and obtain en-
nlorment for refugees from the Commune.
The delegation wished refugees in distress TO
he sent direct to the "Fraternelle," but "LIn-
terpat ionale Franchise objects to any direct
assistance, and wishes to hold the power OF
assisting refugees in its own hands. Then
n. Schmelch read an essay on "The universal
education" which gave rise to an acrimonious
debate, and the meeting at length adjourned
without having accomplished anything OF a
practical nature. The London Communists
are very evidently men Of ability, but give fre-
ouent proofs of their inability to discuss any
question without getting into quarrel.

The Crowning Infamy.

The most unblushiDg piece OF etfrontery
with which his Excellency Governor Scott
has honored the people Of this State is the
declaration made by him, through the State
Auditor that he made no general promise to
the late Taxpayers Convention to extend
the time Tor the collection of the taxes Of
1871. We did not expect hlm to fulfil his
pledge. 1t was believed that he would find
way of stripping himself Of his last and
only claim upon the consideration of the
people. But, in the face Of the unimpeach-
able record, We did not look for 80 brazen
denial Of an unquestionable and indisputa-
BILE fact.
The TazpayeIa. Convention, on the 18th Of
May, appointed Committee Of Five to wait
On the Governor and "secure a postpone
snaent of tares." The committee consisted
of Colonel Thos. Y Simons, Colonel W. NJ
Shannon, Ex-Governor Bonham, Mr.. James
q. Giles and the Hon. j. P. Richardson.
On the following day, Colonel simons, from
the Special Committee, made the following
report:
sThe Special Com nittee directed by the Con-
ventlon to confer with the Governor of the
State, in relation to the postponement Of the
collection OF the taxes in November ensuing,
beg leave to report:
''That Impressed with the conviction, under
the peculiar circumstances Of the case, and In
view OF the fact that the people OF the State
are thus called upon to pay the taxes for two
separate years in one, Of the Justice of the
measure of relief proposed, they have had an
interview with the Governor, who has autho-
rized them 10 state to the Convention, that
,ohile the various Offices ,oin be open in Nouern-
Der for the reception Of the taxes at that time,
from such of the citizens as may be then pre-
pared to pay them, yet that THE PERIOD FOR
THEIR PAYMENT WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE
FIRST OF MARCH, 1872, within which time II
payment Is made no penalty will attach.
