COUNTY BONDS FOR THE BENE
FIT OF SGEDIERs FAMI LIES.

Between May, 1861, and April, 1862,
the County Court of Shelby county Issued
bonds for that county to raise fund for
the support and relief of the wives and
children of Confederate soldiers. These
bonds were issu,d in pursuance Of the act
Of the Legislature of May 6, 1861. Tie
bonds were negotiated at the banks in
Memphis, the Planters Bank taking five
bonds of the denomination of 81 600
each. Application was recently made to
the County Court to appropriate funds
for the payment of said bonds,
which was refused upon the ground
that their issuance was illegal,
the bonds void, snd that no obligation
rests upon the county TO pay them Suit
was then brought il the Chancery Court
by The trustees of The Planters Bank TO
recover the amount of the bonds. In re
gard to the decision of the case, the Mem
phis appeal says the court held that
these bonds are illegal and void; that no
obligation was imposed, bytheir issuance,
upon tue county of Shelby; the act Of
the Legislature under which they were
issued was void; the justices had no pow
er to bind the county by their issuance;
tic purpose was in no sense g county
purpose, and was an illegal one,
tending directly to encourage the
rebellion; the county is not la
BILE; and that the demurrer of the county
is sustained. AS to the individual defend
ants, (tbe magistrates,) the court held
that the acts done by them were done in
their official capacity. 1t is not claimed
they derived any benefit from the trans
action, or that they did not act ID
the most perfect good faith. The
court held that their connection with the
matter is what they did in their official
capacity, while sitting in open court, as
members of the court, and they are moi
therefore liable. From this decision, Il
apnesrs that the holders of the bonds will
lose their investment.

can take his wife, leave the children with their
uncle, 60 to Portland and gather up q full list
of supplies, Mt very trifing expense, and at a
figure far below country prices, providing there
were not merchants through the country up
with the times. But there will be plenty live
men in the arena. All the old fogies will have

retire to quiet life. This is not sarcastic. but
downright truth, as history of the past proves.
And expect those that are now little children
