For few days past strange ru'
mors have been in circulation with
reference to the County Trustees office
and county warrants. This morning
there appeared in the newspapers mo-
tice headed, Caution TO the Public
County Warrants" which article was
signed by Mr.. Mcdowell, County AttOr-
uey. The article also appears in to-
days LEDGER. and TO it attention is
called. Our sensational reporter under
took to dig the matter up to-day, and
with the following success:
Mr. A. Woodward, County Trustee, is
at present absent from the city, and il
appears from the County Attorneys
card that number of warrants which
should have been cancelled by the Trus-
tee have been put again in circulation.
The County Attorney believes the
amount to be from thirty to forty thou
sand dollars 10 warrants, but the iuves.
tigation as 10 the Affairs in the Trustees
office is still progressing. These war
rants had been paid by the county and
should have, been cancelled, Their
numbers are on record in the County
Court, and will be published as soon as
possible so as to protect purchasers OF
county warrants. vyIr, .u,rpr
In the Second Chancery Court to-day
Messrs, Humes & Poston, attorneys for
the county, filed two injunction bills
styled The County of Shelby VS.. Jesse
Page, and the, County OF Shelby VS.. the
Mechanics and Traders Bank, c. c.
Graham and j. A. Hays, JE.
The Page bill recites aud charges that
the County Trustee in the spring of
1873, was engaged in specializing in
stocks in New York and lost
heavily by the operations; that the
Trustee paid out thirty or forty thou
sand dollars in county warrants to
secure or pay these losses; that said
warrants ought to have been cancelled
by the County Trustee; that said war
rants are void; that the County Trus-
tee has absconded; but that a paper
found in his office. which paper was left
no doubt to give information and pro-
tect the county, states that the warrants
we're left with Page as a pledge to Sc
cure debt of $4,000. The bill asks
for an Injunction restraining Page from
transferring said warrants and for all
other relief. o0t,, ...f
The injunction bill filed against the
Mechanics and Traders Bank, c. G.
Graham and J. A, Hays, Jra recites
about the same general facts, and adds
that from thirty to forty thousand dol
lars in county warrants were deposited
either to secure or pay debt of from
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars These
are all the facts which appear to-day.
The bondsmen of Mr.. Woodward are as
follows: On school bond Of ten thousand
dollars: j. j. Busby, s. Folwell On
county bond Of fifty thousand dollars,

MONEY.

MONEY. I.-...
Finances are steady, with little ae-
tivity in local checking and depositing
1t being the fourth of the month-bsl-
ancing-np day-currency is in fair sup
ply. There was some stir and little ex-
citement this morning among brokers
as regards the uncanceled county war
rants, which have been sold on the mar
ket, instead of being Cancelled after being
received by the Trustee. There is no
means of ascertaining the amount Of
the warrants which have been resold
until full investigation is had of the
Trustees books. One or two Madison
street brokers will suffer. The discount
market is steady; bankers are doing very
little in this line of business. Street
rates for good commercial paper is from
2@3 p cent. q month. Exchange is
in demand at the following rates: New
York &c discount, Boston and Eastern
points &c of and New Orleans &c off.
Brokers are paying lOsl@lOs2 for gold,
with little offering. The is very little
inquiry for city, county or State indebt-
edness. Arkansas and Mississippi secu-
rites remain dull and nominal. Rail-
road stocks and bonds are quiet, with
few transactions in the market:

: MEssRs EDIFoRs: The Fall term of the
school opened about three weeks ago.
There are large number of students
attending this term, about as many as
there were last spring. The number
last two years has varied from about
seven hundred in the summer to nine
hundred in the spring and fall. The
number attending this term will prob
ably reach nine hundred. The Chapel
where evening prayers are held is so
full, that one class Is obliged to sit in the
gallery. This does not happen only
when there is an exceedingly full school.
The college has purchased the building
now used for the Union School, and in
tends to make recitation rooms out of it.
This will give them greater facilities for
accommodating the students, who are at
present obliged to undergo some incon-
veniences, in the way of recitations oc-
curing, at times, unsuitable for them.
The present Senior class has by consid-
cradle effort on their part succeeded in
starting gymnasium. Their mode of
procedure was as follows. A meeting of
the students was called and the PROPOSE
ton was laid before them; OF course the
most of them were in favor of it. After
wards vote of all who would advance
five dollars for share in the gymnasium
was taken, and about two hundred
shares were Immediately taken, some
taking two or three, as the stock is trans
ferable at any time. These shares are
certificates, showing that the persons
whose names are upon them, have ad-
vanced five dollars per share, for the
parpose of building gymnasium, and
that said person has the use of the gym
nssium as long as he remains in the col
.lege, these are then transferable to any
person whom he may desire. Those who
do not take stock, are obliged to pay one
dollar per term for the use of the same.
The building for the gymnasium is al
ready completed, and also me t of the
furniture has 2 rived. 1t will probably
be in readiness to receive students the
lat of this week. This will be :rsat
improvement and one that has long
been needed by this institution. acre
are great many improvements in the
way of new buildings being made, which
! will try and describe in my next.

should be deemed requisite to induce
them to discharge that all important du.y
duty enj0ined by the law of our being.
l also deeply regret that the root of all
evil should be regarded SO essential in
the dissimination of the gospel, hope
not to detraet from the intrinsic merit
and lasting worth of the christian ..relig-
ion that requires no costly embellish-
ments; no extended acres of eonsecra-
ted ground; no superfiuous ornaments;
no gaudy and os1entatious display, to
render it effectual in the wise consum-
alton of the most sacred purposes.
Could we but return TO the pristine pur-
ity of former days with no relaxation of
attachment to just and holy cause hav-s
ing for its noble and sublime object the
reclamation of man. AS far as the ex-
alted purpose, the pure aim, the main
Intention, the well directed efforts tine
human exertions of the churches are
concerned, they should be sustained and
encouraged. as the harbinger of pure
doctrine-the uItimation Of whose teach
ings is a life of bliss and happiness to be
forever enjoyed with the holy and re-
deemed that have gone before US, freed
from the annoying perplexities that be-
set our pathway in world of sorrow
and woe. 7s ALPHA.
