THE COUNTS.

SUPREME CoURT.-The court is en-
gagged in the Maury equity and Davidson
county criminal dockets, which will most
likely occupy the court until its adjourn
ment, the 18th of this month. Owing to
the fact that the minutes of the court have
10 be read and signed before adjournment,
it is hardly possible that the court will take
up any case after Friday. Opinions were
delivered yesterday in the following cases:
By Judge Freeman-Baker, administra-
tor, vs.. Grigsby +; reversed. Eason vs.. Nc
Clanahan; affirmed.
By Judge McFarland--Estes VS.. Garri-
son petition dismissed.
By Judge Sneed-Hackett, administrator,
vs.. Hackett ct al; petition dismissed. Muir
day VS.. f. N. Hall; affirmed. Watkins

McMINHVILLE And MANCHESTER
RAILROAD.
The Contempt Case.
Il, NINA Of ola r-s Hill OF ole

4AOS6 lis Ob ais Ne" LII Ct dis
Continuing our article yesterday, Col.
COlyar concluded for defendants and the
court adjourned till P. NJ, when the Chan
cellor delivered a written opinion, discharg-
ing the defendants and taxing complainant
Higgins and others with the cost. The
Chancellor held that the order or fiat of
Judge Frazier granting an injunction on a
bill directed to the Chancellor at Manches-
ter, and which was intended to be fled at
Manchester, was unauthorized; that there
was DO authority to file the bill at Nashville,
and that the Injunction and the whole pro-
ceeding was void alb initio.
This branch Of the case being disposed
of, the bill filed by Coffee county and Hill
and others vs.. w. S. higgins and others,
ordered to be filed with the view of settling
all the questions involved between the par
ties, and involving in the main the validity
of the sale of the McMinnville and Man
chester Railroad to the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad was taken up. De-
PENDANT Higgins moved to dismiss the bill
because the court had no jurisdiction of the
parties. This motion was overruled and
defendants excepted to the ruling of the
court.
The bill was then read by Judge Harrison,
and Capt. Carnes proceeded to read the
answer of the defendants, Higgins ct ais,
and cross bill which he moved to be per
mitted to file. This cross bill contained
some language in relation to Judge Hick-
ersOn, who was present, strongly rejecting
upon him and his brother commissioners
who effected the sale of the road to the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, when,
forgetting himself, and that he was in the
presence of the Court, and understanding
Capt. Carnes to say that he (Carnes) had
sworn t. the bill, he denounced Capt.
Carnes as liar, and struck him violent
blow, which was returned. The parties
were Immediately separated. The Court
heard Judge Hickerson's statement to
the effect that be had understood
Capt. CarDes to say in reply to
question asked by G.. w. Davidson when
Capt. Carnes had finished reading the cross
bill as to who swore to that cross-bilI, that
he (CameS) did. Capt. Carnes, however,
had said he did not make such reply, and
Judge H. apologized.
The Chancellor announced that he would
not decide what he would do in Judge
Hickerson's case until the meeting of the
court the first Monday in April.
The question arising on the application
Of defendants to file the cross-bill was also
continued till the regular term, first Mon
day in April.
Mr.. Colyar stated that in justice to Gen.
Frank Cheatham, whose name appears as
complainant in the crOss-bil, he would
state that his name was used by the Hug
gins party without his authority.

IMPORTANT LAw.sUIIsIN THE Fed.
ERAL COUNT.
sI,sOO.eOo Involved


Messrs. Shackleford and Helms, attorneys,
have entered in the Federal Court here two
of the most important law suits in point of
amounts involved and questions to be adju-
dicated of any cases that have ever claimed
the attention of either State or Federal
Court.
In April, 1861, the General Assembly of
this State, with view of ilrming the State,
appointed committee to wait on the Union
and Planters Banks to know how much
money they would each loan to the State of
Tennessee, and the sum of 100000 was
agreed to be loaned by each bank. In Sep
TENDER, 1861, an additional loan of
$250,000 by each bank WIS made to
the State to be paid in war bonds of
Tennessee to be issAed by the State, or in
Confederate bonds. These facts appear
from the charges of the bills. The North
ern stockholders owning stock amounting
to 100000 in the Union Bank and owning
stock amounting to $250,000 in the Plan
ters' Bank, have sued the parties who were
| directors Of those two banks at the time the
money was loaned, seeking to hold them
liable as trustees for alleged misapplication
of the funds. The questions presented are
grave ones, but we suppose will undergo
the proper investigation Of this court, and
as the amount involved is quite large, we
suppose will go by appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States.

A Mystery.

Between and O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, as a gentleman was coming across the
Edgefield commons, between the Suspen-
sion and Railroad bridges, he perceived a
white object little distance from his path.
Having a lighted lantern, and not believing
in supernatural agenc ies, he determined to
solve the matter and ascertain the nature
Of ''the thing" Approaching cautiously to
where the object was laying on the ground,
he picked it up, and Immediately recognized
it as lady's gown. Upon a closer exam
ination, he found it covered with blood in
many places. At this he was first alarmed,
and thought it prudent TO leave the gar
ment where he found it. This he did, and
though inquiry has been made in regard to
it, nothing whatever has been obtained that
could in any manner solve the mystery.

management, the old Horticultural Garden
will, to-day, be thrown open to the public
for the season. Not 1.-the of the improve,

been accomplished, but the beginning will
afford a fair evidence of what the end will
be.
With the old name passes away all that
was Objectionable and meagre under the
former management, and we hope that the

4 SCENE AT THE ROYAL OPERA

There was very racy scene at the Roy
al Opera, Berlin, one night during the first
week in February. There is a great jeal-
Ously between Frau Lucca and Frau NAL
linger, and fierce has been the struggle be
tween their respective friends and admirers.
That night matters came to crisis. The
piece was the The Marriage of Figaro. The
battle of disapprobation and of applause
increased in ferceness from act to act, and
at last it became impossible to carry on the
performance. Frau Lucca then boldly
stepped forward to the footlights and rated
the public in good set terms. She told them
that if they kept on in that style she would
leave off singing for them altogether. In
the meantime, Frau Mallinger, less cour-
ageous, had sunk into a chair, and was
shedding floods of tears. The public at
last became quiet, and the performance was
brought to an end. But the alterations
recommended outside the house, and the
Emperor, who was passing, witnessed the
tumult; and gave orders to the police to
clear the streets.

And if 20 per cent be the profit this would

For the endowment of such an institu-
ton we need S500, 000-Kentuczy has
offered to give 100000, provided we raised
elsewhere 100000 which can be done.
That this will be necessary will be seen
by the following figures
A sum the interest Ofwhich would
be necessary for Professors sala-
Cost OF buildings. .............. 100000

Fund for support of students. -. 100000
The fund Of 100000, giving an income
of $1,000, would support only seventy
students on our present plan, which gives
about One-half what is needed. With 300
students however we shall have to help
200 and thus $4,000 per annum will be
necessary. But for such support we can
always rely upon help from annual contri-
buttons.
To show that the estimate of $4,000 is
not too large it may be stated that Andover
has $4,000 in addition to its buildings.
From these points it may be seen how
valuable such an institution will be. 1t is
not intended to be small affair, but an in
stitution of high position and great useful
ness. For it all Baptists may well use
every effort, for it will not be only a mOnu-
ment oftheir liberality but also of their con-
fidence that their principles must
be sustained by the highest scholarship of
the land. For while the Seminary has its
abstract Of principles in accordance with,
and not contrary to, which each professor
must teach, the students have nothing to
do with it, but, on the contrary, are told by
the professor this is the view of this man,
and that of that man, and your professor
thinks thus and so, but take the Word of
God and examine for yourselves, and form
your own opinion. In this process we have
no fears that the Baptist cause will suffer,
but, on the contrary, it is thus we hope to
build it up and establish it forever.
