MEMPHIS.

The Memphis merchants, with the en-
terprise that has ever characterized
them, have made extensive preparations
for large fall trade Occupying p,-
sition at the head of winter navigation,
below which ice never closes up the riy-
er at the dividing line where the corn,
wheat, and manufactures of the North
meet and mingle with the cotton, sugar,
and various productions of the Southern
cline, there is butllittle required to IL axe
Memphis the Queen city Of the great
middle grounds covered by the attitudes
between the SD and 35th degrees.
But little of the enterprise exhibited
by Memphis merchants in their business
matters, if concentrated upon the subject
of reaching fer and controlling this rich
commerce by suitable means CT trans
pOrtation would insure the future
prosperity of this city, But to make
this prosperity doublY sure, Memphis
must become a manufacturing city. Many
portions of the country are vainly look
ing for the time when they can reach oul
Tennessee city with their produce by
cheap and rapid communication. Nov
much of this rich commerce Is diverted
by enterprise to build up far-of cities
cutting off much Of the trade that lcgiti
mately belongs to Memphis, within sixC
and eighty miles of her very door Tn
people living along the line of the Men
phis and Knoxville narrow-gauge raj
road are all desirous to trade with Mem
phis, even as far as Pulaski in Gle
county, where the citizens of that count
ray they would send their cotton on
cheap aarrow-gauge road, sooner than
Nashville over costly broad gauge, be
cause there would be but little dllierenc
in freight charges, and Memphis is be-
ter cotton market.

AN IMPORTANT DECREE.-In the case of A.
T. Stuart & Co. vs. Charles Kerrison, assignee,
Judge Bond, in the United States Circuit
Court, decided that the Judgment of A. T.
Stewart 60 Co. vs.. Kerrison & Leiding is valid
and subsisting one. and that they are entitled
to be paid out of the proceeds of such of the
real estate of the bankrupts as it was lien
upon, according to its priority. The Court
further said: @While the Court refuses to set
aside this judgment on account Of the irregu-
larities complained of, it cannot refrain from
saying, for the benefit of the profession, that
in its judgment plea to the jurisdiction of
the District Court at Greenvlle would have
been we'll taken. That Court is not a Circuit
Court Neither the Chief Justice of the Unit
ed States nor tue circuit judge, who are re-
ouired by law to hold Circuit Courts, can hold
or assist in holding the District Court for the
Western District of South Carolina. That
court held by the district court judge has cir
cult court powers within the territory pre-
scribed by law for its jurisdiction, which any
person legally entitled may invoke at pleasure
but there is no authority at all for removing
causes originally brought in the Circuit Court
of the United States to that court, against the
consent of parties, except in certain criminal
cases at the instance Of the district attorney.
I am aware that the pra, lice to do so has pre-
vailed for some time, but it has produced great
confusion and has no warrant in law"

TRUE GREArNEss.-Mere decision of char
acter, taken iu a.8orldly sense, is insufficient
to produce true greatness of character. What
is further needed is clear, commanding view
of duty as one and unalterable, to be the pole
star in the heavens. 1t is, therefore, hard to
overrate the Importance of cultivating this dis
tincs and uuclouded apprehension of right and
wrong as permanent mental habit. In order
to attain this, we must be often thinking of
moral questions, and settling principles before
the hour of trial In this, likewise, men wide
ly differ. Happy is the youth that begins ear
ly to mediate on such subjects, and to clear his
notions as TO what he ought to do in Civ
en- emergencies. He will find the bracing
influence of such views in moments when all
are shaking around him. Looking only at
principles Of eternal right, he will 60 serenely
forward, even in the face of adverse popular
opinion. While weaker minds are halting to
collect the votes of the masses, he will bare his
bosom to the shower of darts aud march up to
the acquisitions of conscience, in spite of the
instant tyrant, or. what is often more formida-
ble, Of the turbulent populace

Important Rulings on the Lien Law.

Upon motion to dissolve an attachment
under an agricultural lien, which came before
Judge Mackey at the recent Lancaster Court,
the annexed rulings were made by his Honor:
"That it is essential to the validity of an
agricultural lien that the advances made should
consist solely Of such supplies as are essential
to the production of the crop. The advances
of such supplies, however, do cooperate with
in themselves as lien, they must be made pur-
suant to an agreement fixing their value IN mon
ey and such agreement must be entered into
and recorded before any Of the supplies are tur.
nished The reason of the law in this respect
is, that the lienee should be guarded against
his own improvidence by fixed limit to his
credit and the record will protect others against
being imposed upon by secondary agreement.
"a warrant to seize crop cannot be legally
issued until the account for supplies furnished
is presented to the person who receives the ad-
yances and payment refused. Such account
must be sworn to and attached to the affidavit
upon which the warrant to seize the crop is
issued. '''
Gail costs incident to the seizure and sale Of
the crop must be paid by the leinor, for the
crop under the Statute is bound only for the
amount advanced, and not for the disburse-
ments in enforcing the lien. '-F; 7a'f
"The claim of laborers for services rendered
in the production of the crop is a preferred
lien and must be paid before the lien for ad-
vances is satisfied. The rent is next to the Ia
borers lien preferred lien upon the crop. go
s'The advances for supplies can only bind the
crops for the agricultural year in which they
were made. They cannot operate as q lien up
on future crops. The lien must rest solely up.
on the crop and cannot bind work animals and
other property. A horse or mule sold for the
purpose of producing crop will operate as a
lien upon the crop, it being supply within
the meaning of the Statute.
CONTRACTS for the renting of land for the
coming year will carry with them statutory
lien on one fourth of the crop, but if the con-
tract to rent expressly so provides, the rental
will be lien upon one-third of the crop, pro-
vided, that the contract be duly recorded as in
the case of advances made.
'The homestead exemption cannot be plead
to protect crop against the enforcement of
lien for advances made to enable party to
produce the crop, but no mortgage or lien can
be enforced against crop raised on the home
stead, except in the case above stated.
eff "a crop produced on tract of land, which,
together with the buildings thereon, does not
exceed one thousand dollars in value, no part
of the crop, however great its value, is subject
to execution for debt" @a

A Pungent Message of the Governor.
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,


COLUMBIA, December %, 1874.
| Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of Repre-.
scntative,-I have this day approved the follow.
ing act
IAN act to make appropriation for the pay.
| ment of the salary and mileage of the members
of the general assembly and the salaries of the
subc fdinate officers and employees, and other
expenses incidental thereto" r
In atixiDg my official approval to this act, I
feel compelled to state to your honorable bod.
les that l have had grave doubts respecting my
duty in the premises The mode in which the
act was finally passed, under the operation of
the joint rules of the two houses, is suggestive
of more than one difficulty of legal and con-
stitutional nature. The act in its present form
has been distinctly and decisively disapproved
by one house. Its final passage is due wholly
to joint rule of the general assembly. cam
not at the present time enter upon discussion
of the legal effect of this fact, but it is easy to
see how grave are the questions involved and
with what facility such rule may be used to
defeat the will of one or the other house of the
general assembly.
Again, whoever will inform himself upon the
subject will be satisfied that the tax of one mill
on the dollar levied to meet appropriations for
Legislative expenses for the present fiscal year
cannot produce more than Sl10,0 or S115, 900.
The amount appropriated by the act is, there
fore, in excess of the means provided to meet
the appropriation, and one of the prime requi-
sites of good administration is thus early set
aside.
Again, the old evil of appropriating gross
amount to meet contingent or incidental e4-
able to judge, no expenses of the generalassef
bly, which are properly contingent Every item
oflegitimate expenditure is capable Of being
ascertained in dollars and cents, and no occa-
sion exists for making an appropriation in ad-
vance of q knowledge of the exact amount
needed to meet such expenses
Lastly, in the mode of payment provided In
sections 2 and 8 of the act the proper safe
guards in my judgment, are omitted. What
deem these to be, have indicated in my in
augural address before your honorable bodies.
greatly regret in the interest of good admin.
istration, that your honorable bodies have not
provided mode Of payment which is, in my
judgment, conformable to sound and safe
practice. s.i't-l g.; s..
Having thus briefly pointed out the features
of this act, which seem to me Objectionable, I
acknowledge with gratitude the many features
of the act which stamp it with an honorable
superiority over our recent appropriation acts.
Called upon, as am, to act In view OF what's
practicable and attainable, with only brief
time in which to reflect upon my duty, unless1
subject the members of your honorable bodies
to serious personal Inconvenience, and especial
ly in view of the very great improvement ia
this act upon former similar acts have reluct-
antly decided to give the act my official sane
ton.

CROOKED WHISKY.

T,vo More Cincinnati Houses Seized.
The Government officers are still Wig
orously exerting themselves in the
search for crooked whisky and the dis
tillers who manufacture and deal in that
article contrary to the laws and ordi-
nances Of the Government. Last night
two more houses. in this city were seized
and operations in the manufacture OF
whisky ordered to be suspended. The
establishments are those of Paxton
Coates, at No. 81 Avery street, and W.
II. Marshall, on Sycamore street.
The charges against these manufacture
ers are that they had engaged in the rec
tifying ana redistiiling of saloon wash
lngs and manufactured whisky there
from without paying the proper license.
These saloon washtngs principally con-
sist Of old stale beer which is kept by the
saloon keepers for distillers and from
which whisky is now being largely man
ufactured.
The apparatus and all the property
of these houses are under seizure, and in
the meanwhile an inventory Of the arti-
cles will he taken, when the matter will
be turned over into the hands OF the
United States Marshal for examination.
Collector Lew Weitzel effected the
seizure.
