WILSON'S MURDER.
An Unusually PrOtracted Investigation.
The Witnesses Examined with Closed
DOOrs--StrOng Bail Required
Of the Prisoners.

The preliminary examination Of the
parties concerned in the Wilson affair, at
Franklin, proved very protracted, having
closed only at noon yesterday. Judge Nc
LemOTe had it conducted with closed
doors, no one having been admitted except
those directly interested. His course was
considered wise, as, in case Of a final trial
by jury, it would have been next to i'm
possible to obtain a competent jury, had
the citizens generally been allowed to
watch the progress Of the investigation
and indulge in the expression Of opinion
as they naturally would. The interest
felt was general and deep and would have
gathered large crowds.
Attorney General Russell, assisted by
Judges Turley and Wallace, conducted the
prosecution. y. \. Cox and House 4
House appeared for the defense.
The Judge by bis decision required a
bond In each case Of $4,000, and bond Of
the same amount from both securities in
each case-making a bond Of $4,000 in
every case. Our informant supposed the
parties would be able TO give TIE bonds.
The regular business Of the Criminal
Court, which was broken into by this in
vestigatiOn, was resumed yesterday.

ConnIeting Reeeirers.

The following, from the Burlington
(Iowa) HdlUkeye, may be Of interest to
those engaged in the squabble about the
Receivership Of the st. Louis and South
eastern railroad:
"a case somewhat similar to one in
which Burlington is interested has jus,
been decided in Illinois. It was a case in
volving the receivership Of a railroad,
two receivers having been appointed,
one by the State and the otter
by the Federal Court. The question was
argued by eminent counsel before Judges
Dummond, Blcdgett and Hopkins, who
felt it necessary to lay down a rIle which
would hereafter apply in all similar cases
where disputes might arise between the
Federal and State Jurisdictions. A like
question arose in the case Of the Rockford,
Rock Island ana S.. Louis Railway, but
the difficulty was settled. In the pres ent
case, however, the points in dispute were
squaTely met and ably contested. The
opinion Of the court vas delivered By
Judge Drummond, maintaining the jUris-
dictiOn Of the Federal Court"

THE INSURANCE INTEREST.
Home Companies demonstrating
Against the Bond DePOsit Bill.

Home Companies RemOnstFafinR
Against the Bond Deposit Bill
The following memorial has been laid
before the General Assembly;
Your memOrialIsts, representing insur-
snce companies incorporated by the State
Of Tennessee, would most respectfully,
but earnestly, demonstrate against the
passage Of House bill No. 81. entitled Gan
act to require insurance companies 70 de-
pOsit bonds with the Comptroller Of State, .
and against the passage Of ans and all other
bills containing provisions Of a kindred
character.
We do not believe that the public inter
ests require the passage Of any such act,
while it is undeniably true that its passage
would work irremediable damage TO the
interests Of insurance companies chartered
by this State and doing business in other
States.
The supervision and control over insur-
ance companies exercised III accordance
with the provisions Of existing laws, by
the Commissioner Of Insurance, including
the right Of asCeraining the correctness of
the ample annual reports made by the COM
panies 10 the department, by personal
and thorough examination Of their assets
and liabilities BY the Commissioner, or his
deputy, renders any sgch deposit entirely
useless.
In addition to this, the existence in
many States Of what are known as rstalia
tory laws, will, if this measure becomes a
law, make it necessary for our own cOmpa-
MES 20 deposit q like amount in such other
States, or cease to do business therein.
Several Of the companies repres ented by
your memOrialisIS have extended their
business into many Of the other States Of
the Union, the result Of which has been
the introduction Of large sums Of money
into this state, but if this bill is allowed
to become a law, they will be compelled TO
close their agencies in such States and con-
fine their business 70 this STATE alone, to
the manifest injury Of the public interest.
