A Complicated Case.

There were i've cases of perjury tried be-
fore Esq. Baskette yesterday against q ne
gro named Wyatt Porch, in which he was
required TO givt bail in the sum of $1,000
for bis appearance at the presen. term Of
the court. The history of the case is about
as follows:
Wyatt Porch, in company With white
woman, overlook, on the Charlotte pike, a
train Of wagons bringing peanuts from
Hickman county to Nashville. Some of
the teamsters iCq hired Of tie woman why
she was walking with . negro. This ap-
pears to have given mortal ffense TO the
negro; so that he determined to have re-
venge by suing out warrants charging five
of the men with assault and battery upon
him and the woman, and assault also
upon her with intent to rape her, and
With robbery from the person oft negro.
The men were arrested st night on the 265h
of last March, and aft6r being kept there
till very late, gave bail for theiT appearance
the next day, when they endelYored to
move the trial, which was refused. They
then moved an examination and gave bail
and then the negro sued out two peace war
rants The trial, Of " hich was continued until
Yesterday. Thereupon the white men sued
out FIVE warrants for perjury sgailst the
negro and which were also SET for yester-
dsy, when it was ascertaiued that the
negro had been in the penitentiary for
stealing and could not testify, and Camp
bell dismissed them. Then the ne
gro was carried before Esq. Baskette
where it was proven by some fourteen of
the most reputable men 10 Hickman county
that everything sworn to by the negro was
a tissue of falsehoods and peIjuries from
beginning to end and with The result stated
above.

Postal Cards and Phouo~ran,x

The st. Louis Journal says some very
sensible-i hiugs, among which may be class
ed the following:
A new incentive to the more general use
of Photographic system of writing is likely
to be Afforded by the use of postal cards
The cards are cheap, bus they are lacking in
two ways. The message wri ten on a card
must necessarily be blief, because there is
No room for long communication in the or
binary style of writing, and still
greater disadvantage in connection
with the use Of cards is found
in the fact that any communication
written upon one of them is open to view
not only to postoffice clerks and letter car
riers but to any one else into whose hands
the card may chance to fall in the course of
its delivery. Both the disadvantages refer
red to are to great extent obviated by the
use of short hand. By the Photographic
method long letter may be written upon
the ordinary card. 1t is said that the first
postal card mailed from Washington to New
York contained 1900 words-and since
the ability to read Shorthand is confined
to few, almost complete secrecy is obtain
ed in the transmission of messages.
1t is said that many business men are
already securing clerks acquainted with
shorthand for purposes of eommunica
ton In this character, and possibly in
course of time the quicker form of writing
will be extensively adopted in commercial
circles. 1t need not be required for ordina-
ry correspondence that the writer should
adopt the exceedingly abbreviated and diff
cult style Of the short hand reporter whose
duty 1t is TO secure speeches; what is known
as the corresponding STYLE" which is sim
ply the less condensed ordinary style, af-
fords Sufficient cmpaetness to allow of
quite long communication on the oFdina-
ry postal card. The corresponding style"
is easily learned, the chief difficulty is &C.
qniring short hand, being found in master
ing the cOntractions necessary for extreme
speed in writing, and there appears nc -ea-
son why itshould not 5e Rlofs extensively
used.

Orders in Bankruptcy.

The following orders have been entere d

necessary steps 10 finally settle and wind up

''2. II is further ordered by the Court
that IN all cases in Involuntary bankruptcy,
when default is made by the party proceed
ed against, q decree pro confesso shall be
at once entered, adjudication made aud the
cause forthwith referred to the Register"
This latter order enables creditors to
have their debtor sdjudicated bankIupi
within ten days after filing the petition.
Heretofore the adjudication could not be

invited him to be present at Judge puling,s

not with any great profusion of thanks,

Sampson was fined $40, she stepped brisk
