ebrated the birth day of Washington on the
22d in q manner highly creditable to them
selves and the institution by orations at the
Masonic Hall in the presence ct a large and
cultivated audience.
Mr.. Taylor of this State was the first
orator and represented the janior class. he
greatly interested his hearers, presenting
them a very diversified scope of thought,
both in reference to the Father OF his COun-
try, and the moral, poetical and religious
topics of the times. When he had finished
all felt to say, well done brave and original
young man. His speech was just what it
ought to have been. ...--s h.

to Washington. however, linking in msny
things that were in harmony with the inter-
est of the occasion. He portrayed the
march of our country in science, literature
and wealth, until bis audience were thrilled
with delight-excited alike by the spirit and
eloquenca of bis words. He closed by lay
ing all these things at the feet Of the mn
mortal Washington, whose valor, patriotism
and wisdom had laid the foundation for
them all.

Cincinnati and ohio Railroad.

Monday last the Sumner County Court
was cal led on TO accept or reject the con-
tract recently made at Louisville between
the directory of the Cincinnati and Ohio
Railroad and Messrs. Fitzgerald q Mallory
for the complete construction and equip
nsnt of the rosd from Cincinnati TO Gala
tin. We have already published the gen.
er2l nature Of this contract, by the terms of
which work is to be commenced within
thirty days and completed within twenty
four months. The contracting parties, who
are practical engineers and men Of large
railroad experience, have ample means and
command sufficient capital to prosecute
their work with that energy commensurate
with its magnitude and importance. The
work has already begun in Allen county,
Kentucky, and within thirty days will be
commenced on the line in Sumner county.
The extension of the road to Nashville can
not longer he doubted, and its assured
completion opens a commercial avenue
along which our products and merchandise
can be conducted with prompt satisfaction
and just tariffs. Our merchants will be
benefited by this northern outlet and they
will not be both to sustain its prosperous
workings. The route from Gallatin TO
Nashville will run through Goodlettsville,
whose property owners will rejoice to know
such has been determined upon. The in
junction seeking to restrain the issuance of
the $500, 900 bonds by Sumner county has
been Withdrawn and every conflicting in
teress reconciled. The contracting parties
are in earnest and ere two years shall have
fed Nashville will have great railroad line
offering reliable facilities for eastern and
northern shipments.

1t is such conscience as this that werketh
death; it is the long, bony finger of death

Such sorrow as that manifested by Herod,
does not bring you any nearer
God-any farther from sin. It
is not 9irtue-it has not an
element of salvation in it. We are sorry
that Gods laws are so strict. This is the
sorrow of the world which worketh death.
Ny friends, as you are young, be strong.
1t does not become you to plead weakness.
Do not imagine that you are under the ne
cessity of SHINING. Do right; let justice be
done though the heavens fall, and cherish
within your hearts, not this sorrow which
woIketh death, but that true sorrow which
worketh repentance unto life-that sorrow
which win make you fersake Sin and turn
To God.

SehOOI for fhe RIfud-

The Superintendent of the School for the
Blind, Mr.. j. III. Sturtevsnt, has presented
10 the General Assembly the fifteenth bien-
niA report of the workings and manage
ment of that institution, from which report
We gather the following facts:
There are at present thirty-six pupils In
the school, and during the past fifteen
months the expenditures for the use of the
school amount to SlS,953, which is in ex-
cess of the receipts.
The Trustees, as well as the Superin-
tendent, are very anxious that steps should
De taken for the erection, upon property
lately donated The school by Judge Lea, of
suitable buildings heated by steam and light
cd by gas. In this connection the trustees say:
"f our honorable body has only to suppose
house Filed with the blind-composed in
the main OF children, each room warmed by
fire and lighted with candles or lamps. to
realize the danger. If the candle or lamp
is upset, or lighted coal falls upon the
floor or upon the dress, there is no eve to
see the danger and give the alarm. These
and kindred causes induce sleepless vigi-
lance and continual anxiety.
'Let us have buildings, not rented annu-
ally, and therefore not prepared properly,
but buildings heated by steam and lighted
by gas. Not member Of your honorable
body would leave half dozen of your lit
tie children, if you have so many, one hour
in loom subject TO such accidents"
The studies pursued during the past fif-
teen months were written and mental arith-
metic, music, geography, history, spelling,
reading, grammar, mental philosophy, Eng
Lab composition, elementary physiology
and natural philosophy. s
Many excellent reasons are assigned by
the Superintendent for the establishment al
an early day of work shops, wherein the
pupils might learn trades ana become self
supporting.

IMPORTANT BANK CASE.
The Act OF 1866, to Expedite the Dis
fributtOn Of Bank Assets, De-
cIRred Unc constitutional.
The Power Of Trustees, and what is q
Statute of Limitation.

The following case has been decided by
the Supreme Court for ths Middle Division
of Tennessee:
G. NJ. Fogg, ct els vs.. The Union Bank, ct ais.
The act Of the 18th December, 1865, en-
titled an Act to expedite the distribution
Of the effects of banks which have made or
may make assignments among their credi-
tors, is not q statute Of limitation.
Such statute bounds, circumscribes,
limits, restricts. The act before US has
no such quality, but on the contrary, mere
ly fixes starting point without restriction
or limitation for the future; by it no time is
fixed within which presentment for pay
ment shall be made, and only the COM
mand that the time shall not be restricted to
less than two years.
Embarrassed only by this limitation, it Is
made the duty of the trustee to fix the time
and that time 80 fixed is to operate as a
statute Of limitation, Iieaving it dependent
upon the peculiar temperament and dispo-
sition Of the trustee, without regard to the
interests of the bank, its stockholders or
creditors.
One trustee might fix it at three, another
at ten, and another at twenty years, and if
the act is valid one all parties in interest
are bound.
If it is argued that the Courts viii inter
fere and control the action of the trustee in
the event evils indicated are likely to re-
suit, it is answered we meet again precisely
the same difficulty in the diversity Of Con-
stitutions, of Chancellors aud will have as
many statutes of limitation as there are in
dividual trustees or chancery divisions,
subject to be changed with changes of in
cumbents. Such rules could not be the
law of the land.
To be valid law, a statute of limitation
must be fixed and arbitrary, applying equal
ly to all the people of the State or to all of
q class; defining the outside or remotest Pc
Rod of time to which it is directed and not
merely fixing a minimum under which it
shall not operate
This statute makes the trustee both legis-
lative and Judge; to him is given to prescribe
the time within which the condition shall fie
or deposit his claim; and to him it is given to
determine whether he has brought himself
within the time, creating branches to the
legislative and judicial departments, un-
known to the Constitution.
The act is an attempt on the part of the
Legislature to delegate its law making DOW
er to individuals, and is prohibited by the
Constitution of which the Legislature is the
creature.
1t is as competent for the Legislature to
enact that each court in the State shall de-
clare what time shall bar the collection of a
debt, after given period, as it was to have
enacted this statute.
To do either is to create as many new
legislatures, with limited power, as there
are trustees or courts.
The statute is unconstitution al and void.
The decree Of the Chancellor IL affirmed
and the cause remanded for further pro-
ceedings. TURNEY j.

Action OF Railroad Commissioners.

Yesterday the State Railroad Commits
sioners declared forfeiture against the
purchasers Of the S ste's interest in the
Knoxville and Charleston railroad. This
road was sold and in accordance with the
provisions of the act Of Dec. q, 1871, au-
thorizing the sale and prescribing its condi-
tons, one-fourth of the purchase money
was to be paid at the time of sale. The
second payment being due last November,
an extension of ninety days was allowed.
This made the payment due Feb. 20, 70.
The purchasers now forfeit the $4,000 in
bonds already paid because Of failure to
make the other payment now due.
