The Pioche Record, which for some
time past has been protesting neutrality
something like our neighbor, the Black
mailer, has come out openly and above
board for Sharon for United States Sena-
tor Unionvi!le Silver State.
Iou are mistaken. The Phoebe Record
is never neutral, buts!mply independent.
We do not choose to hang on to the skirts
and do the dirty work Of any party. We
60 for the best men and the best meas
ures, so far as we are able to determine
them. Like anyone else, we may and
will be mistaken, bat We will not know
ingly support bad man or an unwisa
or swindins measure. But as to neutral
ity, We scorn that as much as being q
party hack, to b. trotted whenever it ii
necessary to defend this swina,e OIL
whitewash that dirty scrub.

srooIY. The folks in Oakland that
love sensations ale now enjoying them
selves 10 their hearts content. The
house Of Mr.. Clark, whose furniture
appears to be animated or invested with
some kind Of diabolism, is the center of
attraction. The family are worn first by
the manifestations, next by the calls of
intrusive visitors, among whom the
ubiquitous reporter is not the least
Troublesome. Clark has sent his women
folks away, taken of his door bell, and
with few male friends, is going to see it
out. The trouble is that the furniture,
when 1t Is dying around, occasionally
strikes violent blows - at least, the
Chronicle, a most yeracious authority,
SAYS SO, and, OF course, il must be true.
TIE singular par; OF the affair is that, il
these arc spiritual manifestations, they
do no. adopt some more useful and con-
venient mode Of indicating their where
abouts than by knocking decent mans
furniture about. Aswe remarked yester-
day, we opine that the power that causes
these singular gyrations OF tables and
chairs is more physical than spiritual.

you can doubtless procure a copy by ad-
dressing either the congressional prin-
ter or the chairman of the committee
on ways and means.
Tenny replies February 28th: I am
informed that the Sanborn papers
have been already printed, and
are now in book form. If
you will be kind enough to obtain a
copy of the same and send to me duly
certified, under your official seal, in such
a manner as to be used in evidence, it
will, think, be all that I shall require
at present. would thank you to send
me such copy on or before the fourth of
March next.
Secretary Richardson, on the third
of March, replied as follows to
McKenDy: AS notice among
the lists of names furnished as a
basis of contracts, and many of which
are of foreign origin, a number of
differences in spelling, etc. cannot
consent to certify them in the manner
you desire, nor will it be possible for me,
on account of the great labor involved
in the pressure of public duties, to fur
nish you with new copies by the time
you wish them. If this document will
not answer your purpose, how would 1t
do for you to indicate the particular
papers desired by some mark, and, re-
turning the document, have me then
to send on the original papers in custody
Of some person from the department?
This will save much labor and
avoid the danger of differences in SPELL
ing in copying many foreign names al
eady referred to. Among the papers is
a summons to William A. Richardson,
secretary of the treasury, or his deputy,
dated January 2, 1874, from the United
States district court for the eastern dis
trict of New York, commanding him
to appear before the grand inquest of
the United States to testify and give ev-
idence on the seventh of January, and
bring with him transcripts of all papers
and records in any manner relating to
and concerning tue claims of John d.
Sanborn, on account of any and all SER
vices rendered or purported to have been
rendered by said Sanborn in the collec-
ton of the legacy and succession taxes
due, owing and payable upon the estates
of Joseph Petit, Daniel Marsman and
others. Secretary Richardson referred
the summons to the solicitor of the
treasury.

THE NEW ISSUE.
The Case Before the Supreme Court
Compliment to Judge Nicholson.
From the Nashville Banner

From the Nashville Banner.l
The high compliment paid to the
judicial integrity of Chief-Justice Mich
olson by the attorneys in the new-issue
suit, has been very favoTably com
mented upon. 1t is known that when,
on Monday, the now celebrated new
issue case, involving hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars, and many grave and
intricate legal questions, was called up,
Chief.Justice Nicholson announced to
the counsel that he had availed
himself of the leisure afforded by his
late confinement with broken limb,
to examine the case fully, and that he
had made up an opinion which he had
already written, but had communicated
to no one. He felt it to be his duty to
announce the fact, that the counsel
might object to his sitting in the case if
they saw proper. The counsel on both
sides retired for moment to confer on
the subject, and returned into court,
when it was announced by Judge East
that they were unanimous in their de-
sire that the chief-justice should sit in
the case, and that they were
willing to trust his judgment, af-
ter full argument, even though
he had made up his mind on one side or
the Other. ibis well meIlCeu TecOgIl-
ton of judicial integrity is as rare as it
is comely in these disjointed times.
The main question now being argued is
the solidity of the new issue. The
amount of this new issue is variously
estimated at from five hundred thousand
dollars to one million five hundred thou
sand dollars. Technically, the present
case involves the four thousand dollars
sued for, but if it is TO be considered
test question, then it arises as to whether
the people shall be taxed to pay it. Much
proof has been taken by consent since
the case went to the supreme court,
and hence the record is not now the
same as when tried by Chancellor Flem-
ing. The encouragement, w. B. Heis-
kell, represents the State. Hon. E. II.
East represents the bank. John Friz-
zell represents the special school fund.
Judge Humphreys represents the credit
ors. John Reid represents the deposit
ors. Ed. Baxter represents the new-is-
sue men. The case will be argued for
the next three days, and will in all
probability not be decided before Satur-
day after next.

WE HAVE already called the partic-
ular attention of the public to the fact
that the commissioners for the location
and erection of an insane, asylum will
meet in this city to-day, for the purpose
of considering such propositions as may
oe laid before them for the location OF
the building in Shelby county. We
trust our leading citizens will take
warm interest in this matter, and that
nothine will be left undone by
them, or by our city and county author
tiles that can in the least contribute 10
that end. Elsewhere we give the result
of an interview with one of the gentle
men, which we think will prove OF IN
eerest to our readers as well as to-the
other commissioners. The city, through
ne general council, has donated ten
tt.o,,'sapd dollars to secure the location,
.nd we have no doubt the county court
IN view os the fact that it will be re-
Iievad Of the support of the county in
conc will make donation of fifty thou
sand dollars additional, in order that
Shelby NAV secure the location of this
needed institution within her limits.

tiles to receive so influential body, and
to make them thoroughly acquainted
with Memphis and the surrounding
country,
