It vas therefore quite unnecessary for the
PURPOSES sought to be subserved by the as
Segment which was made by this bank to
make the ASSIGNMENT which it did to the
trustees named In the deed. The very same
objects might have been accomplished By the
creditors under the provisions of the 43u
section. The same trustees might have been
elected By the creditors which were APP
pointed By the stockholders; the only dit
ference in the proceeding being that they are
under the assignment the creatures OF the
stock holders, whereas under the 43d section
they would be creatures Of the creditors,
subject to the supervision OF committee OF
creditors, and subject to the control OF this
court. 1852 y.
Under the 43d section the trustees would
have the SAME powers, under the orders
of this court, to renew and extend negotia-
bic paoer. and to e,mpromse and settle
claims, which they could have under the
trust deed. They would have power also to
sue upon chooses in action in this court or IN
other courts and this court would take
special care that none OF the chooses an action
or other assets should be sacrificed by lump
ing sales of them at auction with made
auate notice to all parties in interest.

Who CAPTURED Santa Anna I

Mr.: James A. Sylvester writes to the
Austin (Texas) Stateman: General
Robinson was one of the party Of,
think, five, with myself, that left the
main body of men under General Ed
mund Burleson, at Vince's Bridge, who,
with volunteers, was in pursuit of Gen
eral Santa Anna and the stragglers of
his army, on the 22d, the day after the
battle. Proceeding back to our main
camp on Buffalo Bayou, wo separated
for tho purpose Of hunting. During
our separation I espied Santa Anna, but
neither Mr.. Robinson nor any of the
party was within five hundred Yards of
me when Santa Anna was captured,
they coming up few moments after.
I have always awarded the same credit
to that party that I felt was due to N.Y.
self. But you will find among the ar-
chives of the Texas Historical Society a
full. account of the capture, rs also what
passed between General Santa Anna and
myself, in the presence of Gen. Sam
Houston and nearly the whole of our
little army, as also q complimentary
card from General Houston and the ex-
preston of thanks and gratitude from
Ssnta Anna himself to me- when cap
tured. Probably many of the veterans
have either forgotten me, or supposed
me dead, rs left Texas in 1843, and
have resided in this city ever since"

How Bristow Put . Snuifer ON Nudge.

How BristOw Put Snufler ON Nudge.
Washington Correspondence Of the Chicago Times.
Bristow allows that he is Secretary
of the Treasury. Under the Richard
son regime, anybody about the building
was liable to promulgate financial
opinions and to indicate what they
considered correctgovernmental policy.
Bristow means to do most Of this him
self, and is introducing adiscipline that
is almost martial. On yesterday, MI.
Nudge, heretofore, q pretentious
and noisy subaltern, came into: !:Bristow's
room and threw himself across sofa
in the familiar style of Richardson
days. At the moment Bristow was
explaining a new financial idea to an
official visitor. As he finished, Nudge
broke in patronizingly, observing :
Excellent, Mr.. Secretary; I am glad
to be able to agree with you in what
you say" Bristow turned upon him
chil1ingly. ''Your chief is the com
missioner Of Customs, - he said
REPORT to him at once. When you
have any future business with me,
transact it through him. If I have
any special use for you, I'll send for
you" Nudge edged out. Bristow
has already made a marked change in
the morals of the department. He
contemplatcs further reduction Of the
force, and wholesale increase in its
efficiency. He has made brave start
in his work of improvement, and the
country is crying him grateful God
speed.
