ABOUT THE TORBETT ISSUE.
Must Tennessee Pay the War Debt ?

must AehHeSsce EBy TIE war DeUt.
Chancellor Fleming delivered an elabo-
rate opinion in the Chancery Court at
Nashville, on Saturday, affecting the va
lidity of the "new issue" of the Bank OF
Tennessee. He holds that the issues are
valid and binding upon the State, suns
ming up his conclusions as follows:
l.. That the defendants in this form of
action and attitude of parties can have q
status before tho court and Iitigate their
rights.
.. That as q matter of fact, established
by the proof, the notes in controversy
known as new issue" were not issued in
therefore valid securities. -,-r.
I@3. Even admitting ~that-seme, of the
"new ISSUE notes may have been origi-
nally issued and paid out for an illegal pur-
pose: This is not enough-but it must ap-
pear that the particular note or aaotesi in con-
troversy were SO issued and paid out in
order to fix upon them the ban for taint of
illegality.
4. But whatever may have been the
knowledge or motive of the bank at the
time of their issuance, theBnotes,s them.
selves, becoming circulating medium as
| money, could be no more tainted with ille-
gality in the hand of subsequent holders,
than the old issue or any other funds now
in circulation, but which may have been
at one time paid to the Military Board.
5. That under the facts of the case, as
fully shown by the proof, the claim of those
defendants does not fall within, nor is OBJ
noXious to the provisions of section 4,
Amendment XIV, Constitution United
States.
6. That under the view we have taken of
the facts presented i'm the record section G.
of the schedule to the amended Constitu-
ton of 1866, together with all subsequent
acts of the Legislature, is unconstitutional
and void, as ''impairing the obligation of
contracts" and viOlative of article /, Sec
ton TO- of the Constitution of the United
States. T-r.
z. That the rights of these holders are not
affected or impaired either by the fact that
they became such owners subsequent to the
assignment, or by the fact that they pur-
chased ut q discount.
S. That the statue of limitations cannot
operate to bar the claims of Defendants
0. That the action Of the political depart
ments of this State and the General Gov>
ernment does not gust the Judicial tribu-
mails Of jurisdiction, and does not and can
not annul or impair vested rights in these
defendants. h
10. That the trustee or assignee is bound
to receive these notes in payment of the
claims Of the bank, and that for this pur-
pose they may beset-off against any such
claims or demands. :.
II. That defendants are entitled to the
full face value of the notes held by them
and to priority Dissatisfaction over the gen
erdL creditors of the bank and to share pro
rttta with all bill holders, whether of the
old or .new ISSUE" -z-1----=-z-

STEAM FOR STREET CARs.-In Louis

and the Couier.Journal describes the
cars employed, as follows:
The engine requires a practical en-
gineer and is non-explosive in its con-
struction. Ii is noiseless and smoke
less in it's work. and With steam pipes
running through the car, keeping it at
the required temperature, the patsen-
gers can sit and ride as comfortably as
though they were on a frst-class rail-
way coach.
The water is carried in tank un-
derneath the rear end OF the car, and is
conveyed into the boiler BY means of a
pipe, through which it is pumped by
the machinery. The fuel box, gauges,
and manipulating machinery are all on
,he front platform halt OF the boiler,
which stands perpendicular, extending
upon the platform, and the other hall
within the car, but Handsomely en-
cased with beautiful ornamental wood,

chinery is shut out from the view OF
the passengers.
So far no runaways have occurred
from the use Of this car.
