THE FREEDMAN's BANK.

Chancellor Cooper of Nashville has
decided that our State courts have ample
power to protect the depositors in the
Freedman's Bank to the extent of any
assets or property in possession OF the
branch banks in this State, without any
reference 10 the settlement about to be
made BY the commissioners in charge of
the parent institution at Washington.
The commissioners do not promise more
than ten per cent. to the deluded and
swindled depositors Possibly the State
courts can make more than that out of
some Of the branches. Possibly little
investigation of this sort might throw
some light on very dark and deliberate
system of rascslity, and it could not do
any harm. Judge Cooper holds that
the creditors OF the branch bank
have q right to attach its property,
to the exclusion of the commissioners
at Washington unless it had previously
been assigned. The trouble is that little
remains TO be attached. perhaps nothing
at all here in Memphis. Everything was
sent to Washington and stolen by the
ring that the last Radical Congress white
washed so psrsistently. The negroes have
in al this a taste of the love so fondly
bestowed on them by the party they
have been voting with these many years.
The lesson is a severe one, but it will do
them goodin the end. They will conclude
after awhile that every Northern adven-
turer who comes among them TO talk
against their former masters and to run
for Office is not a saint by any means.

IVY pRorKcrryx UNION.

There il an organization in this city
composed Of fully six hundred citizens,
acting under the name Of the Citizens
Protective Union. The members are
large, as well as small, tax payers, who
are interested and identified in all that
affects the material interests of Mem
phis. We understand that committee
Of seven Of the leading members, some
of them very able lawyers, was appointed
many weeks ago to report upon various
matters of reform, which will probably
come before the next Legislature. We
beg leave to suggest to these gentlemen
that an anxious public is ready to read
any report they have to make. The
Union is said to represent fifteen mil
lion dollars of property, and any sug-
gestions coming from such high
source would doubtless have great weight
with the next Legislature. II is desira-
BILE to have these matters discussed in
advance that the feelings and wishes OF
the people may be ascertained by the
Representatives elect Let some of their
work be laid out beforehand and care
fully considered. The people should not
be slow to express themselves on the en-
crossing questions that are to come
before the next Legislature. Our col
umns are open to free discussion.

APosfomce Problem.

The Pail Mall Gazette has the follow
ing: By the last mail from India a
curious letter arrived at the general
postohice. IT was not stamped; the
paper of which the envelope was com
posed was peculiar. and the address was
for the time utterly uninteliigible. Any
how, the letter had been sent to London.
The general postotfice authorities at
once dispatched trustworthy messen-
ger TO the most erudite scholars in the
city to ask them to decipher the strange,
blotted, crooked and indistinct hand
writing on the envelope An eminent
linguist Of the British museum was sp
piled to. He could not interpret the sd-
dress, but pronounced the characters
forming it not 10 be arrow-hesded ones
nor resembling the letters composing the
ancient Assyriac Inscriptions with which
he had hitherto met. Another well
knovn authority OF the British
museum was consulted. but be could
not see in the writing on the envel-
one any resemblance 20 Chinese. The
authorities at the India Office were
next asked for their opinion. The ON
uiscieut Librarian was unfortunately sb-
sent Just at the time when the postal
messenger called, but a professor, bis
able aSsistant, pronounced it to be Mala.

from pundit to pundit without iaterpre'

recommended the bearer OF the mystic
rious Communication TO lake i p tgo
other learned gentlemen residing in
Bayswater. These laid their heads to-
gether and discovered that the iuscrip-

The Nashville Banner, in discussing
sotne of the various questions that most
concern the people of the State just now
throws out some very saluissy hints, not
unmixed. however, with few grains Of
comfort. Says the Banner:
The position OF Legislator in the next
General Assembly can hardly be re-
garded an enviable one to 9he eonscieD-
tious member, With realizing sepse Of
the labors that await him, and the per
haps. unreasonable Accomplishments
expected of him. There will be no end
Of knotty problems for solution to tax
his mental powers, and no end Of con-
flicting suggestions to try his patience.
Nevertheless, we may be congratulated
that there is some pretty solid material
In the body just elected, aud that the
delibeystion will be intelligent and
earnest The legislator will require the
aid Of the eOnnsels of his constituents
and should haze their cooperation and
sympathy. We are glad 10 observe that
40 many Of the thinking men OF the COM
muhity are manifesdng live interest in
the various reforms mOOted 10 ths can
vass Just closed. In the multitude Of
counsellors there is safety, and out Of
the multitude Of suggestions, after the
chat is separated from the grain there
may be evolved Ronssbjpg that will be
permanently useful.

LONDON, December 2.-There is con-
siderable excitement here in conse-
quence of the discovery Of eight cases

on her passage from Antwerp to New

THE MORTGAGE LAW.

A vigorous discussion of the mortgage
law Of the State seems to be in order.
1t is claimed on the one hand that the
law passed by the last Legislature is just
as good as exists in any State; that it
protects the money lender who takes
real estate for security, and can not do
injustice to the borrower; that if there
is fraud at all it is more likely to come
from the borrower in the shape of q
defective title. On the other hand it is
affirmed, and we think correctly, that
the facilities afforded through the courts
for obtaining iBjunctions and delays as
well as a want Of confidence in titles &C
quired by purchase under deed Of trust
sales, renders the act in question prac-
teal nullity. No law can be very effect
i've as long as simple affidavit will OBJ
tain an injunction. After a stay Of pro.
ceedings, whatever the delay, the lender
can Only claim the legal rate Of interest
even IL e higher rate had been agreed
upon. Mea gho borrow money are
usually ready to make fair promises at
the time, but often when pay day comes
are ready to take advantage Of legal
technicality and repudiate their obligs-
tons without any apparent remorse.

An interesting incident has just oc.
Cured at Bucharest. The proprietor Of
the Suhr circus announced that chaI-
lenge by Jules Rigal, wrestler attached
to the circus, had been accepted by a
gentleman, who would appear before the
public in week. The amateur athlete
was rumored to be no other than Prince
Stourdja, q Moldavian noble, who has
the reputation of possessing herculean
strength. When the great unknown
made his Grst appearance the stalls were
filled with eager spectators long be-
fore the performance. The dis
tinguished unknown, amid frantic APP
plause, hoored his antagonist. The per-
Torrance was repeated several successive
nights, until one evening a member OF
the troupe divulged the fact that the
masked wrestler was only one of the
clowns of the circus. This led to dis
turbance. and the great unknown "
narrowly escaped being torn to pieces by
his late admirers.

commenced their work. There is but
little time for them to perform their la
bor-as per the charter, the books for

vital Importance to all good citizens, for
we need our best men at the helm, and
the time has arrived when they must come
to the front, put their shoulders
TO the wheel and il possible help us out
Of the mire. We must so TO work In
earnest, for there is much to be done,
Our enemies are busily at work, and il
we wish to retain the prestige of the
victories we have gained we must place
good. competent men in nomination and
have them elected. II can be done il we
are only true to ourselves. Let every
man register and see that his neighbor
registers. Don't fail to vote mo pay
