SPECIAL SUPREME COURT New York
Life Insurance Co. VS.. Thomas ct ais, de-
cree affirmed.
FEDERAL COURT.-The case of Amelia
Karsch VS.. Adam Karseh e. ais, was al
gued and decided. We give as follows the
substance of Judge Trigg's decision, to-wit:
There can be no greater equity on the
part Of those 10 y HON a co-partnership is
indebted, than that the creditors of an in
diviiual might claim, when we are ssked to
give construction to a statute, the object
of which, before it can be fully carried-out,
requires us so to interpret it as to effect the
humane purpose for which it was enacted
The whole series Of laws ON this subject is
remedial; not as restricting prior right,
bCE as reserFing 90 the unfortunate debtor
seine portion of the wreck of his property,
to save him from immediate want,
and encourage future effort. lift is true
that partnership once formed excludes all
individual interest 10 the property it may
hold, that TO manufacturing establishment
or any other association of craftsmen, who
may unite for certain object, none of the
statutes referred to apply; while if the par
ties have individually pursued the same en-
ployment, they could be protected in their
several exemption rights, then it must be
confessed the law cannot have effected its
purpose. To admit the personal privilege,
and deny the same to a man when q part
ner, must discourage all voluntary unions
whereby capital may be increased and bus
mess expanded. We cannot therefore ex-
clude partners from the privilege of claim
ing the statutory exemption in the same
manner and for the same reason that we
are bound to extend it to the individual
debtor.

The Vanderbilt university.

To the Union and American .-..-..ll't Of.
But short time sinc9 the writer hereof
heard remark made by one OF the most
eloquent end learned divines of the MethO-
dist Churcf, which, perhaps, the Bishops who
are soon to assemble here would do well to
consider before finally deciding the ques-
ton of location. If correctly remembered,
the remark was to the effect that no Uni
versity has ever yet prospered in any city
or town in the world in which its interests
were not made the chief consideration in
the local legislation Of the place. He in
stanced the University of London as COM
pared with those of Oxford and Cambridge.
The former (LoDdon University though
munfcently endowed, has never been able
to achieve the grand success so long enjoy
ed by the latter two Oxford and Cam
Dridge.) And he accounted for this by
saying that TIE municipal legislation of
London WIS chiefly devoted to the develop
ment and fostering of her immense marine,
mercantile and manufacturing interests,
which completely oVershad owed in impor-
lance her great institution OF learning,
while on the other hand the Universities Of
Cambridge and Oxford were the grand in
terests of the respective cities in which they
"OAO AON@tOAf ol40 buC AOCd1
legislation of these cities was principally in
favor of these institutions.
Taking the justice of these remarks for
granted, we think that in deciding between
location of the Vanderbilt University "a
Nashville or Edgefeld, the latter has great
ly the advantage over the former. The
municipal legislation of Nashville will, of
course, be directed mainly to the protec-
ton of her rapidly growing manufacturing
and mercantile Interests, while in Edge
field the proposed University would be the
grand feature of the town and would be ever
sure Of receiving all the aid that local legis-
lation could afford it. If, then, favorable
local legislation is an element of success in
the history of Universities (and experience
proves it to be SOY our sister city across tie
river offers far greater inducements than
Nashville can afford to do. r.

ImpOrtant TO CLERKS ana Tax Asses

The Comptroller is now busily engaged
in forwarding to the Clerks of the County
Courts the schedules for tax returns and
assessments. With these he is forwarding
circular letter, ifom which we make the
following extracts:
"There are many citizens Of the state
who are not liable to anything more tina II a
pol-tax. having no real esta' e, and personal
property less th2n $1,000 in value. These
parties must, however, be reported for poll
tax. The delay in The preparation Of the
schedules viii necessarily cause the as
SCISSORS TO be pres sed for time in making the
assessments, but this must not result in
a hasty, imperfect assessment. A proper,
and full, and fair assessment IS of far more
importance than prompt one, impertectly
or careiessly made. 1t is hoped, however,
there will be no unnecessary delay in max
ing the assessment returns. Under the as
sessment law, the Tax COLLECTOR collects
the sd ValoTem tax upon merchants, while
the County Cont Clerks collect the priv
lege taxes, in all cases, except where there
are Privilege Tax Collectors specially pro-
Vided by law"

Lost Boy.
To the Union and American

WAyERLY, LAFAYETTE Co., Missouri,
April 80, 1851 notice an account of lost
boy, son of Henderson johnson, in your
paper. My object in writing this is to let
YOU know that there is little by living in
this county who was brought here by Col.
Wade, who had command of negro regi-
ment in the late war. Wade got this boy
in Alabama, SO re said; also said that the
boys mother gave the child TO him. You
can believe as much of that as you please.
This boy was taken in the last of 1864 or
early in 1865. Wade was a resident of
Ohio at the time he got the boy, but moved
to Missouri after the war. The boy has no
recollection ofhis family, as be was quite
small. Yours truly,

ceived their first communion at the Cathe-
drAl yesterday morning. They have been
receiving instructions with that view during
the past two months, and received the ben
eft of spiritual retreat during Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week. The
girls were chsstely dressed in white, with
wells and wreaths. Their appearance and
behavior were really beautiful and edifying,
and the boys looked and acted like little
Christian gentlemen. IL the afternoon, all
these young Christians were invested with
the Scspulsr of Mount Carmel, by the Rev.
Father Scannell, in the convent chapel.
