LOUISIANA BONDS.
Important Decision of the q. s.
Circuit Court Against Certain
Action of New York and
London Capitalists.

New ORLEANS, March 2l.-The suits
brought IN the United States circuit
court before Judge ". B. Woods by J.
L. MacConley, Of New York, and Stein
Brothers, OF England, holders Of Louis
lana bonds, against Auditor Clinton
and other State officers, to compel col
lection of State taxes to pay the inter-
est on face of the bonds, and eDjoin the
enforcement of the funding bill, was de-
cided to-day by Judge Woods in an elab-
orste written opinion, who held, first, that
no mandatory injunction could issue to
compel State officers to do an affirma.
tive act until the final decree that an in
junction to compel levy of taxes was
a mandatory Injunction; second, that
the circuit court could not issue an in
junction in equity, because smandamus
is the proper legal remedy; and although
the court could not issue a mandamus
until final decree, that was no reason
for interference in equity by injunction;
third, that though the court might en-
join State officer from doing injury to
third persons under an unconstitutional
State law, a suit against State officer
to enforce q contract of a State was
either a suit against the St&le, which
could not be entertained, or q suit
against nominal parties without inter-
est, and should be dismissed. The re-
straining order was therefore dismissed,
and the injunction prayed for refused,
with costs. The Judge intimated that
the cases were of Juch Importance that
they might properly be taken at once to
the supreme court Of the United States.

PERSONAL.

Mr.. J. J. SLOWER, of st. Louis, has the
thanks of the APPEAL for copy of the
Congressional Record, of March seven
teenth, containing a speech of Hon.
Stephen w. Kellogg, on legislative and
judicial appropriations, and for other
purposes, and other important docu-
ments.
GENERAL s. B. MAxCEY, senator
elect from Texas, is en- route to Wash
ington to take his seat. General Max
cey is a native Kentuckian, ard distin-
guished himself in the Confederate ser
vice, and his election is most satisfacto-
ry throughout the Lone Star State.
MAJOR w. r. MCCLUNE, agent for
the house of Marmsduke q Brown, st.
Louis, aud formerly treasurer of the
Greenlaw operahouse, is in the city on
his way home from Texas, where he has
succeeded in establishing the firm he
represents so well in the good graces of
the people, and laid the foundation for q
large and paying business. Major Nc
Clune is not only well and favorably
known in Memphis and vicinity, but in
all the surrounding States, especially
Alabama, in the northern counties of
which he was known for many years as
one Of the best, highest-toned and most
honorable business men. A truer gen.
tleman does not live in any State, and
st. Louis does not hold worthier or
better citizen. We know this is high
praise, but it is due to gentleman SO
well known here for his close observance
of the golden rule in life not wanting
in vicissitudes and trials, not one Of
which could mar the symmetry Of a
well-rounded character.

OUR RED BRETHREN.
Latest Intelligence from the Red-ClOud
Ageney-Unsettled Condition Of
Afairs-TrOuble Expected.

CHEYENNE, v G., March GA spe-
cial to the Cheyenne Leader, from its
correspondent at Red Cloud agency, SAYS
the situation is unchanged. Five cOmpa-
MES Of troops are stationed there, and
five at Spotted Tail. The police COM
missiOneTs have had a talk with the
Indians, but nothing was accomplished.
The Issuance or beef Is ordered suspend
ed until the Indians come out and are
mustered. 1t is thought the number of
lodges for which beef has been issued is
about two thousand in excess OF the
true number. There is much opposition
on the part of the Indians to be counted.
Red Dog and family are now the only
Indians registered Setting Bull har-
angues his people and urges them not to
register, but get their guns ready, for
they may need them. No demand has
been made for the Indians who commit
ted the murders, and it does not seem
probable any will be made. The Min
neconjous are still in the vicinity of the
Spotted Tail agency, and have burned
rancho owned by Frank Yates, and
some hay belonging to the government.
Lone Horn and Roman Nose, with their
bands, he says, will leave the agency as
soon as they get some beef The troops
at Spotted Tail expect trouble, and are
fortifying themselves on the position
which commands the agency. The
peace commissioners say tie Indians are.
as good as the soldiers, and nothing
ought to be done toward furnishing them
without first having a consultation with
the agent, and having the matter re-
ferred to Washington. The temper of
the Indians at the agency is anything
but friendly, and their bearing toward
the troops grows much worse, under the
idea that the commissioners and agents
are also opposed to military interference.
SO far nothing has been accomplished,
the more hostile Indians not having
been seen, and the whole question is as
unsettled as it was a month ago.

HATCHIE LAKE.
A sunday Trip Up WOlf and HaGehIe-
Tne Old Father of Waters Coming,
Coming.

We made an excursion trip to Hatchie
lake yesterday on the harbor tug, E.
Fox, with the intention of going through
into the Mississippi river If possible.
We left COchran's mill q few minutes
before eleven o'clock and arrived at the
head of the lake in half an hours time.
there we turned slightly to the left and
proceeded up a deep slough for fully
half mile when farther progress was
stopped by a tree which had fallen
across and entirely closed the stream to
anything larger than a dug out. We
were at least three-quarters Of mile
above the point where Mayor League
and party attempted to go through with
the Economy several days ago, the dis
tance across to the main river being
much less, as it was not exceeding twen-
ty-five yards. The bank is caving
rs pidly, and in our opinion the river
will almost be sure to come through by
next season. This will throw such a
volume OF water down Hatchie and
Wolf rivers as to almost totally destroy
the milling interests on the latter stream,
and sweep away the navy-yard and
other valuable property below it. The
landing will come in for a big share,
and the elevator will doubtless be left
out in the cold, as this cutoff will be
the means of throwing the water into
President island chute. The bluffs and
property in Fort Pickering will also
suffer. AT the end Of our trip we were
hemmed in by trees on both sides, and
did not have sufficient room to
turn the tug around, as we
had jumped over some drift and
brush in going up it was necessary to 20
out bow foremost or endanger the wheel,
we made several attempts to make the
turn, and on one occasion thought it our
last, as the stern of the tug got on stump
and the bow aground, with the boat ly-
ing directly across the stream, with q
very strong current against it. We sue
ceeded by putting ropes out to trees,
which necessitated one of the party
wading through water and getting quite
Wet. and considerable elbow-grease en-
tbe part of the balance of the crowd, in
getting her head up stream, and finally
threw out graphing irons and pulled the
brush out of the way, and backed down
into the lake, where we were enabled
TO make the turn, and started
for home, which We reached in three
quarters of an hour. TO the clever and

accommodating officers of the E. Fox,
we are indebted for the trip, and hope
ere long they will be able to purchase a
fine side-wheeler, and steamboat on a
grand scale. That there is danger of
our words coming true can be fully es-
tablished by visit to the spot, and if
our city authorities do no more to pre-
vent the river from coming through
and destroying an immense amount of
property, than they have toward pre-
venting the landing from caving into
the river and being washed away, it
will certainly make the cut OFF at no
distant day.

The receipts from internal revenue
have diminished within the past two
weeks, especially in districts in Ohio
and Indiana, attributed to the women's
crusade, now in progress. Another cause
is the uncertainty throughout the coun-
try as to what action congress will take
in regard to finances and taxation, the
effect of which is that trade is carried
on upon limited scale.

Serenadcd-The Governors Speech.

Wednesday evening about 0 o'clock
large number of Republicans assembled at
the headquarters on Broadway, and, pre-
ceded by Sulliyan's band, marched to the
residence of Gov Dix on Washington
avenue, and rendered him a serenade. The
band played choice selection, during
which the crowd was greatly augmented.
Gov. Dix then appeared at the door, and on
being introduced to the crowd was greeted
with great applause. lie spoke as follows.
SPEECH OF GOV. DIX.
FellOD Citizens. ] am very grateful to
you for this friendly demonstration. AS
the evidence of the approval of those I'M
der whose eyes my official duties during
the last two years have been discharged, it
is peculiarly gratifying to me- feel great
ly honOred by the renewed confidence
which the Republican party, through its
representatives at Utica, has bestowed up
on me, and it will inspire me with new zeal
in carrying out the reforms in the state adj
ministration, which were commenced two
years ago under ITS auspices. (Applause).
This is not time, fellow citizens for en-
tcring in detail into an exposition of the re-
suits we have achieved, or the steps taken
to accomplish them But | may say in
general terms, and say 1t without heslta-
ton, that no party has ever, in the same
length of time, done more to correct abuses
of administration and to vindicale and re-
assert ime-honored principles of policy
(Applausc). When We took possession of
the government there WAS deficiency of
six and half millions of dollars in the
treasury. Moreover, We found that eleven
millions belong to the sinking funds of the
state, solemnly pledged to the public cred
itors for the redemption of the state debt,
had been plundered and consumed i'll pay
ing the current expenditures OF the govern
ment, in ilagrant violations OF the proyis-
ions of the constitution. The deficiency
referred to has been made up by taxation I;
the eleven millions fraudulcntly distracted
from the principal of the sinking funds
have been restored; the fifteen and hall
millions which constituted the capital OF
those funds at the close of the last fiscal
year, are intact the violated faith OF the
state is redeemed; and we can hold up the
public cscutcheon without stain In the
face of the whole country. (Applause).
But this is not the only reform we have
brought about. We have done much to
put an end to local and special legislation ;

How BIRDS LEARN TO SING AND
BUILD.-W hat is instinct? 1t is the
faculty of performing complex acts alb
soutely without instruction, or previous
ly acquired knowledge" Instinct, then
would enable animals to perform spon-
tancuoslv acts which, in the case of man,
pre-suppose ratiocination, n logical train
OF thought but when we test the observ-
ed facts which are usually put forward
to prove power OF instinct, it is found
that they are seldom conclusive. 1t was
on such gre unds that song of birds was
taken to be innate; albeit a very ready
experiment would have shown that it
comes from the education they receive.
Daring the last century, Darlington
brought up some linnets, taken from the
nest in company with larks of sundrv
varieties, and found that every one of
the linnets adopted completely the song
OF the master set over them, SO that now
these linnets-larks by naturalization
form company apart, when placed
among birds OF their own species, Even
the nightingale. whose native sound Is
so sweet, exhibits, under domestication,
considerable readiness TO initiate other
singing birds. The song of the bird
is, therefore determined by its education,
and the same must be true to nest build
ing. \ bird brought up in cage does
not construct the nest peculiar to its
species. In vain will you supply all the
necessary materials: the bird will en-
ploy them without skill: and will of en-
times even renounce all purpose OF build
ing anything like Il nest. Does not this
well known fact prove that, instead of
being guided by instinct, the bird learns
how to construct his Lest, just as ina
learns how to build house!
