A Great Legal Triumph.

Colonel Charles Case, receiver Of the
First National Bank of New Orleans. has
lust arrived, and reports to the Controller
of the Currency that he has received intel
llgerce from Messrs. JevOns & Rvley, his
solicitors in Liverpool, that the House CT
Lords has recently decided the last o:
series of chancery cases in his favor, thus
securing some SO 900 or more to the fund
for the general creditors OF the bank. Colo
mel Case may justly congratulate himself
upon the result. When the bank failed
some six years since, sundry creditors who
had bought its bills on the Bank Of Liver
pool sought to secure payment OF their
claims in full by instituting proceedings in
chancery in England by which they tied
up Dcndents lite, and hoped fondly
to appropriate between $20o,O0o ana
$300,OOO then on deposit in the
Liverpool Bank, on the theory that
funds to pay the several bills as they were
negotiated. They seemed confident OF sue
cess, and many other creditors and some
eminent lawyers were more than fearful
that this large sum would be lost to the
general fund. But the receiver, after 81
careful consideration of the facts, concluded
that the suits ought TO be defeated, both
because these facts did not warrant the
theory of any special appropriation, and ne-
cause it was not within the powers OF q Ia
:ional bank to make such an appropriation
in time bill as against the contingency OF
its own intervening insolvency. He resolved.
therefore, to contest the case and did SO. The
decision of the Vice Chancellor was adverse
to him. He appealed. and some two years
since the Lord High Chancellor and three
Judges with him sitting pronounced eiaDG-
rate opinions reversing the Vice Chance
lor's decree, ard decresing the money to la
paid to the receiver. These two, acting. as
i. understood, upon the advice Of j. P. Ben
iamin. formerly United States Senator.
now a practicing barrister and Queen j
Counsel in London, took an appeal to the
House of Lords, thus tying up cl5.c0O of
the fund two years longer. This appeal.
after tue most elaborate argument on be-
half of the appellants, has just been dis
missed with costs, and the receiver. after
six years lighting, from the lowest to the
highest chancery tribunal in England. is
finally successful.-New York Herald.

Colonel Inhn McEnery.

An article on the ostensible subject OF
the ''Carpet-bas government OF louisiana
and carpet -baggers, from the Cape Girar-
deau Missouria., found its way into the
columns Of the REPUBLICAN yesterday
morning. IL it there are some apparent
structures upon ths private character OF
John McEnery. which are as unjust as they
are uncalled fo.. In political sense. per
hsre, the Missouri editor might be per-
m;tted to allude to . political opponent as
"a gambler and 4 trickster." But il ouch
were his intent, he has not made it so plain
that it is not liable to Interpretation as an
aspersion of the private character o. tie
gentleman whom nearly one-haf lat least
an inconveniently large numberj OF the
voters of this State selected last fall as
their candidate for Governor. Colonel
McEnery certainly does not bear the
reputation here of being - gam
bier" nor did the part which he
personally took ia the last campaign en-
title him to ths appellation of . trickster.
He committed some acts which were dis
tasteful to the Republicans, and fortunately
for them, undoubtedly made some blum
ders; but the tricks of the Fusionists were
generally and properly credited TO other
members Of that party
We make this explanation because We do
not approve Of any one casting unfounded
aspersions upon anosher's character, ,sand
because we are sufficiently we'll informed
Of Colonel McEne-y's private character to
emphatically deny the charges incidentally
| preferred against him.
There is . class Of newspaper writer's at
| the North, of which this Cape Girardeau
editor is fair sample, who can 20. write
three consecutive sentences on Louisiana
matters without slandering our public men.
| The New York S,te. the World, latterly the
| Tribune, two or three Baltimore papers,
and nearly all the Democratic papers of
the West belong to this stripe. Usually all
the abuse of Republican officials. together
with what may be detrimental to the inter
ests of our State, finds its way into our FU-
sion organs, but it rarely happens that We
notice these petty ISLANDERS, simply because
| we do not believe the interests Of our party
can be promoted by siandering the leading
| meo among our opponents.

Senator Chandler predicts. we are tod,
100000 population in five years.
What is building up Detroit to-day. but
her superior natural advantages of loca-
ton! These advantages increase IN power
as population increases. And the energy,
public spirit and wealth of her people, with
their shoulders at the wheel, are pushing
on TO greater acquisitions of all that COM
bine to make great commercial and manu-
featuring cities. And Detroit to-day has
all the elements for both IN an eminent de-
gree. If the present rate of growth be
maintained for the next fifty years, ayoung
reader of this may live TO see the City OF
the Straits with 100000 Of population.
Built upon the beautiful sloping banks Of
the Detroit, a river that bears on
to the sea the waters of Lakes SI-
perior. Michigan, Huron and st. Clair,
and the steam and sail craft that navi-
gate those waters must pass her door,
while from the East the majestic st. Law
renee and Lakes Ontario and Erie float also
the vessels that sail on to the great lakes
west. The commerce of 2OO0 miles OF coast
above her intercepts the commerce OF 2OOo
miles OF coast below her, and is compressed
| within channel deep and safe but only
| mile in width, abreast the city OF Detroit
On this river is the great crossing place
into Canada. Along the river, EcoIse,
WyandOtte and Trenton are but OutpOsts
or advanced guards of Detroit, marching
on to her destiny of absorbing the river
till all shall unite in one grand city, whose
supremacy in this direction can never
never be disputed.
There is but one deficiency here. When
the UMion shall unfold to its readers that
Detroit is within five days of Havana by
way of New Orleans, the cup and measure
of its capacity for progress will be filled.

An Excellent Match.

When an intermarrisge is contemplated,
every member Of each family so to be con-
pected becomes interested in whatever re-
lates to the origin and present estate O. the
families atfianced.
As we are soon to expect such relation
ship between New Orleans and Detroit, we
have copied from the Detroit Unio" Al &C.
count of that progressive city:
Detroit was founded one hundred and
seventy-two years ago 1t was scarce mole ore
than a village Of 1000 people, having ten
narrow streets. and built uD with hall
mile circle Of Fort Shelby 1ifty years ago;
To-day the city has 100, 900 population, 3oo
streets and avenues, the handsOmest CltS
Hall anywhere, twenty-six public schools,
worth 5000 900, l7O teachers, and 1000
scholars, and about sixty churches. Here
also is to be found the House OF Correction,
with 450 inmates, who profit the city from
$4,000 to $1,000 annually. No institution
Of this kind anywhere in this country can
show such a record. There are about 100
policemen. good Jail, and the usual outfit
of stations. The Detroit river affords an
exhaustless supply Of good water. There
is a reservoir, 100 miles of pipes, eight
drinking fountains, and seventy miles OF
sewerage. There are eight steam fire en-
gines, two hook and ladder companies,
seventy-elght men, sixty alarm stations,
value Of property $1,000 and cost each
wear about SS5,O0O. There are seven asy-
Iums and five hospitals.
Seven lines of horse cars, and three about
to be built, beside transit railroad along
the city front tor commercial uses. There
are four public halls, several society halls
one opera house and another 70 be built, a
free public library 1000 volumes>, Young
Mems Society $4,000 vOlumes). and the
Mechanics Society $1,000 volumes). There
are two gas companies. City expenses
last year were ss5O,O0O. or b tor every in
habitant. Real estate assessed at $1,000, 900
and personal $4,000, ,0O0-total $4,000, 600.
In fact, however, to-day the wealth OF De-
troit foots up nearly 5000, 100000. This is
an imperfect sketch of Detroit to-day. When
her present city limits were established. six
teen years ago, there were but few more
than 10000 population. Springwe!ls and
Hamtramck, with their wealth in people,
lands and manufactures, belong OF right to
the city, for if the city limits were extended
out beyond to.day's population as they
were beyond the population OF 1887, Spring
wells and Hamtramck would now be within
! the city limits. A park Of 400 acres will
| add largely to the reputation OF the city as
a desirable place for residence.

Unificafi0n in the Country.

Our hearty young friend, Gus W.
who stands six feet in his stockings. and
kicks the beam at 200 avoirdupois, and
who expounds Republican principles in a
sprightly little pape. in one OF the up-river
parishes, relates to US the amusing manner
in which he drew unifcation to head in
his town. We adopt his own graphic Ian
suage:
"Weil, the Democrats have paper up in
our town, and they are continually trying
to make a point on me. When this unifca-
ton business started took the ground that
it was a good thing-just what the Rapub-
Hcan party had been contending for az! the
time. But it struck in deep on the other
uaper. Every time colOred man came to
town, instead Of speaking Of that chicken

daughter were in town yesterday and all

challenged the other fellows. l bet $50
on my club. and won. The next
time my club got beat. and the next also.
Then thought III try unifcation, and or
ganized colored club. We sen. them a
challenge. Do you suppose they would
play! No, sir. They replied that there
were certain distinctions which must be OBJ
served, notwithstanding the Hon. Mr. Jones
talk, and that's the last we've heard Of unfit
cation up there. think my base ba.i cluh
fetched 'em. I've got little black and tan

named him Unifcation, the greatest homo;
which the party will ever get as a party.

Our neighbor, the Times, has had . report

shrewd observations are SO tersely uttered

1t seem. as though two or three generations

1t seems certain that in the South the
rich lands must be ruined by shiftessness,
while the sterile soil of New England

change Of ideas and people improve their
lands by the application Of hands and

the opportunities that this people are
throwing away to turn their steps to our
deserted plantations. And they will not
then be deferred by complaints Of poverty
