ChanCery Courts not Author
lied to Grant Interpretations

Chancellor East, Of Nashville, in a recent
decree grantiuga charter of incorporation
to the tennessee Immigration and Labor
Association" took occasion to grant no
specical power or rights not conferred by
the general laws, and for 50 doing he PLEADED
that the law authorizing chancery courts to
grant letters of incorporation was uncon-
etitutional lie said:
l shall refuse to define the powers of a
corporation, chartered by CHS Court in the
decree, but leave these to be gathered from
the general laws relative to the particular
corporation, holding that the Cour5 is merely
empowered to call the organization into ez-
istence, and leave it to ascertain its rights
from the general laws.
l shall also refuse to add any right
privilege or. franchise conferred by the gen
eral laws, and will not release the corpora
tion from any responsibilities or duties en-
forced thereby.
Therefore l prefer that DEGREES granting
letters Of incorporation should refer to the
general laws Gas done in the decree aboTc)
for all powers, privileges, franchise and du-
ties; and l do not mean by this, that these
general laws, or any part of them, should
be embodied in the decree literally or sub
stantially, but merely referred to.
1t is clearly inferable from the above that
! esteem the 18th section of the act of Janu-
airy 80, 1871, entitled, ian act to authorize
the Chancery Courts in the State to grant
letters of incorporation, as void because it
is an effort to confer upon these Courts
legislature powers, which under the Con
stitution vest soly in the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate.

To Audit. Not 30 Pay the Claims,

The claims of Southern loyaIists for prop
erty taken by the Federal army,o estroyed
by either army du:iug the war, are said to
be pouring in upon the commission at
Washington at a fearful rate, and their
proportions show that some Of these men
must have been possessed of an immense
amount of property. before the war. Some
Of the accounts sent in by the suffering pat
riots are said to be of huge proportions 1t
is already estimated that it viii require at
least 50 100000 to ray these sufferers for
their losses, on their own estimates. But it
is by no means certain that these Claims
will ever be paid The Washington Star
says: "Some persons seem to be still under
the impression, through representations
made to them, that the southern Claims
Commission are authorized to settle such
accounts as are luvorably considered by
them This is pot so. The commission
have no authority to pay dollar, but can
only examine into the loyalty Of the claim
ant and the validity of the claim, and re-
port accordingly. Congress must make APP
preparations to Hquidate any such claims be-
fore they can be paid; and it is not likely
any such appropriations will be made for
some time to come, as at the last session the
clause in the deficiency bill providing for
the appointment of solicitor to represent
the government before the commission was
stricken out, on the ground that such action
might commit the government in favor Of
paying the claims Nashville Union and

The Mysterious Grimes Again.


On the 9th inst. the following was tele-
graphed from London to the Associated
Press: Bolton and Park, two Of the par
ties implicated in the women personation
affair, which created so much excitement
last summer, and the details of which reused
popular Indignation to the highest pitch
surrendered themselves a short time since
to the authorities for trial. 1t will be re
membered that these men, at the time of
the capture and trial of their more aristo-
cratic accomplices, Lord Clinton and James
Stafford Fisk, United States Consul at the
port of Leith, in Scotland, could not be
found, and for a long time contrived so
we'll to guard the secret Of their hiding
place as to battle and elude the utmost
vigilance of the police. At last, finding
escape impossible, they delivered them
selves up: The trial of the criminals com
menced here today They are charged
with an unnatural crime. Mr. Coldridge,
counsel for the crown, opened the case for
the prosecution. The proceedings will
doubtless develop details Of an excessive
prurient and revolving nature. The court
was crammed at the opening this morning,
thousands being present. The result is anx
iously looked for.

tory order made at Chambers, and as the
Supreme Court cannot supercede and review
the same, and as both Bell and Fayette
counties are entitled, with the least possible
delay, to have our opinion Of the law re
viewed by the Supreme Court, and as a dis
solution Of the Injunction at present would
WORK, perhaps, work irreparable injury to

see Qst Coldwell, 259), which is based up
on a constitutional provision. This was
case in which it was claimed that B ledsoe
county had been reduced below her consti-
tutional limit as to square miles and quail
fed voters, by portion Of her territory Ia
ken of to form the rev county ofSequatchie,
and the Supreme Court in that case directed
a survey to be made, and a census Of the
ooters to be taken to ascertain whether such
was the fact or not
This case, though not directly in the face
Of the 1st Sneed case, at least shows the
want Of force in reasons based uDon en5bar-
rassments in carrying out provision of the
constitution. 1t also well established that
constitutions are made by the people, for
the people, and the people are expected to
read and understand them The courts are
averse to giving clauses in a constitution any
hidden and learnedIy refined construction i;
on the contrary, the Eatufa5 sense Of the
words are always preferred. This is the
safe rule Of conclusion, for if courts can re
fine and tortare the plain words Of the fun~
damental law into meaning other than
the natural, usual, and common sense of
the words used, there is an end Of our boast
of q written constitution sin a land Of liber-
"ty and good sense, where Judges make no
new Law, but faithfully declare the law
(which they know already written; and
descending, approach the level OF an
':Asiatic Cadi, ybo determines cause aca
"cording to the cob and fow of his whims
and passions"
To our mind the plain, natural and com
mon sense in which the words without the
consent of two-thirds of the qualified voters
in such part taken of" are used, is two
thirds of the number of qualified voters in
such part, whether they actually voted in
this particular case or not. Iftheir inten
ton had been otherwise, it would have been
easy to say tarothjrGs Of tie gotes cast II,
said election, which would be sufficient, just
as they do say in Art. ., See. %: 'but the
credit Of no county, city or town shall be

Another Motive Power

The stone drilling machine in the Mont
Cents tunnel, as well as, we believe, in the
Hoosac tunnel, is moved by compressed
air, which, we are told, can be fed to and
used in steam engines without difficulty
1t is now proposed to bring inte common use
this motive power-compressed air-in
several cities of New York, and in a very
ingenious manner.
Some weeks ago, says the New York Post,
a gentleman who has undertaken this enter
prise visited Rochester, which has an i'm
portant water power, with the object Of using
such of this force as now goes to accImu-
late store of compressed air. By very
simple contrivance be believes himself able
to use cheaply the power Of the falling
water to condense air, which is then to be
drawn off into reservoirs, whence it is pro-
posed to supply it, through large air-tight
pipes, to machine shops and other places
requiring motive power at distance from
the reservoirs.
If this plan succeeds at Rochester, it is
said that an attempt will be made to utilize
the immense force Of the Niagara Fall to
compress air, which is to be conducted to
Buffalo, twenty miles distant, and there
turned to account as motor.
Some calculations which have been made
induce the persons engaged in this novel en-
terprise to believe that the equivalent Of a
horse power " which costs, when steam is
used, in this city, about $3.50 per annum,
can be furnished by them at the reser 7oir Of
compressed air for about S12 When it is
conducted to distance, the cost Of main
tanning conducting pipes would be an added
element Of cost; but this could not be very
great
The pressure Of air needed is, it is said
equivalent to about seven atmospheres. Ol
course, no fires will be used with this mo
tive power. The danger Of violent and des
tructive explosions will be at an end ali
engines will be much more easily managed
than those worked BY steam, and f com
pressed sir can b chesply furnished il
cities, it would become an lmmo nse conven
ience in many ways. Its use need net bt

Railway Signals

Very many persons, says the Harrisburg
TeleqrGph, who travel occasionally on rail
reads are much at loss to understand the
various signals that are used, some Of
which are made with the steam whistle and
others with flags. An exchange paper
furnishes the following interesting explana-
tion OF them
One whistle signifies, down brake, "
tws whistles ''oft brakes, three Whistles
shack up," continuous whistles, "danger." "
A rapid succession Of short whistles il th e
"cattle alarm;'' a sweeping parting Of
hands on level Of the eyes is signal to ''go
ahead !" d downward motion Of the hand,
with extended arms, signifies ''stop'
beekoning motion Of one hand means
"back J" at night, when lantern is raised
ana lowered vertically, ii is a signal for
''starting II when swung at right angles or
across the track. ''stop;" swung in a circle,
back the train" A red flag waved upon
the track indicates danger j" hoisted at
station, Il is signal to ''stop;" stuck Up
by a roadside, il is a signal Of ''dangcr On
the track ahead III carried uufurled upon a
locomotive, il signifies "enginc following,
and gives warning that another Especial }
engine will soon come along on the same
track.

confined, either, to places having falls Of
water at hand On the seaboard the power
evolved in t. rise and fall of the tides could
be utilized to compress cylinders of air
cbeaply, and if tho plan succeeds at all,
there appears to be no reason why steam
should not be superseded in New York BY
ar as a motive power; or why ships should
not be loaded and unlOaded, goods hoisted
ln warehouses, and the lifts in hotels and
public buildings moved here by means of
compressed air.
