At the quarterly meeting in October,
Druy College, Springfield. Mo. was put
upon the Societys list Its articles of in
corporation were filed with the Secretary Of
State, August D 1873 and from that date
its existence may be reckoned. II takes its
name from ). +. Drury, Esq of Oliyet,
Mich, who contributed $4,000 of the $780,
600 il holds IN money, bonds, lands and notes.
Springfield is seventy-iye miles from the
Arkansas line, ninety from the Indian Ter
ritory, one hundred and fifty from the Mis-
souri river, and two hundred and forty from
St Louis. 1t is ON the highest ridge of
the Ozark Mountains, at point dividing
waters that flow into the Arkansas from
others that flow into the Missouri 1t is
sixteen hundred feet above the sea its eli
mate, therefore, is cool and remarkably
healthy. 1t has eight thousand inhabitants,
aud is the natural center, for business and
social influence to a wide sweep of country
that will gladly look TO it as an educational
center. Outside of st. Louis and south of
the Missouri, in region of forty thousand
square miles there is, says President
Morrison, nothing that deserves to be called
a college. This statement is not meant
of course, to cover the State University at

Ius,,ee "a prominent citizen.

~ y
We give place to the following from an
eminent citizen upon whose statements
we place unqualified reliance:
We are satisfied from the note Of Gen
eral W. Y. C. Humes, published in Sat
urday's LEDGER, that the article copied,
without comment on Friday, from the
Washington Gazette, did Mr.. Il. M. APP
person great injustice in reference to the
Wade Bolton bequest to the widow OF
General Stonewal Jackson.
We are equally we'll satisfied from in
formation derived from sources perfectly
reliable, that the Gazette article did Mr..
Apperson even greater injustice in stat
ing hat he charged the widow OF his de-
ceased partner $4,000 a year for five years
for managing an estate and business OF
about thirty thousand dollars.
The facts are, as we are assured, that
Mr.. Apperson has devoted almost his
entire time for the last ten years to the
winding up of the old business Of him
self and his deceased partner, and that
instead of thirty thousand dollars, it
amounted to about one million fUe hun
bred thousand dollars, and the $4,000
referred to was charged to expense ac-
count, only one-half of which will come
out of the estate of his deceased partner.
The charge being fully justified in the
opinion OF Mr.. A., as we are informed,
because the articles Of co-partnership
relieved Mr.. Apperson from all duty and
attention to the business of the firm,
and made it the duty of the deceased
partner to give his whole time and at
tention to the business.
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1875-09-13

We are indebted to Mr.. John S. Toof,
Secretary of the Cotton Exchange, for
the second annual circular. 1t is q care
fully prepared and valuable document,
giving an account of weekly receipts,
shipments, sales, stocks and prices Of
cotton in Memphis during the year end
ing September /, 1875. The total re-
ceipts of cotton at Memphis during the
year wal 1922, OO4 bales; average weight
per bale, 40 pounds; average value per
bale, $40; total value of years receipts
(estimated), so, 54O,2 $50; number Of bales
compressed during season. 259,9l3. Com
parative statements for the last three
years are likewise made, exports, stocks
at all United States ports, prices Of mid
ding il the leading markets, the worlds
visible supply and the Liverpool move
ment for the year ending September l,
1875; consolidated daily receipts at
United States ports, American crops,
English consumption, statement of acre
age, interior movement, etc. These are
some of the important items that go to
make up this comprehensive and valu-
able report. The total crop is footed up
approximately at 100000 bales for
1875.

The Fast Mail Trains.

RHLAPELPHIA, September ID. The
new fast mail train by the Pennsylvania
railroad, which left New York at 1870
this morning, arrived at West Philadel.
phia at 1910 am. and at Harrisburg at
1925 am, the exact schedule time.
BALTIMORE, September l3.-The pic.
neer train of the fast limited mail over
the Pennsylvania railroad and connec-
tons, left this city at 1920 this morning,
connecting with the train which left
Washington at 6 am. 1t took from thi,
city several gentlemen connected with
the city press and packages of daily
papers for distribution along the route.

THE CLERKsHIp OF rHE HOUSE.

The Courier,Journa comedies the
~Speakership of the next House to the
North, saying that Mr.. Kerr, or Mr.. Ran
dali, or Mr.. Wood, or Mr.. Cox, or Say
lor, or some one from that section will be
acceptable and doubtless be elected.
But the South will put in for the Clerk
ship Of the House, an important, as well
as a fat Office, and it is announced that
the Kentucky delegation will put in
nomination Hon. G. M. Adams and sup
port him as a unit. Some Of Mr.. Adams
claims and qualifications are that he
was during the war a gallant Union SOL
der, and at all times a steadfast Demo
crat and refusing to prescribe his de-
feated neighbors. He has performed
eight years honorable service in Con.
gress and retired voluntarily at the close
of the last session. His district is
composed of mountain counties, which
he has uniformly carried over a
Republican majority for other offices,
he being the only Democrat who could
carry the district. Adams is a veteran
in politics, butts young in years, having
entered Congress when barely able to
qualify. The Courier,Journal says he is
of thoroughbred Kentucky stock, and
puts his claims in the strongest possible
light. Well, Tennessee has not united
on any Of her aspirants, as far as we
know, and our Representatives when the
time comes will no doubt give Mr..
Adams a hearing.

OF Chief Ath5 clearly showed that
there was no reason for the deten-
ton of the prisoner-the only return
he could make. So Judge Bay,
before whom the writ was made returna-
Bile, was compelled to decide. The
learned judge therefore held that the
prisoner must be discharged. All seemed
happy, until with judicial ponderousness,
it was announced from the bench that by
reading newspapers and from the inspec-
ton of a certain warrant issued by P.
M. Winters with mittimus (who can de
eide some things 0 rapidly than
others, which had been surreptitiously
handed to the court, he felt bound to
commit the prisoner to the custody of
the sheriff on the mittimus Of the said
p. n. Winters.
The counsel for the prisoner mildly
protested against this course as arbi-
trary and without warrant of law. With
some heat the learned Court asked the
counsel if he held that he was bound to
let the prisoner 90 if he had reason to
believe that a crime had been committed.
The counsel blandly replied, not at all;
but that he had no right as the
matter stood to put the prisoner
in custody under any order but his
OWn; that it was the law, the court
not being willing to discharge with
out an investigation; to have that inves-
tigation appoint an hour to-day or to-
morrow or next day to confront accus-
ers and witnesses with the accused. For
this sort of trial the prisoner was ready,
but he did protest against being held
over on affidavit of a person or persons
of whom it was stated in His Honor's
presence that they had been Swallowed
by the police. The counsel for prisoner
tried to pound this into His Honor's
head, but failed. The proposition of
prisoners counsel appeared to have the
assent Of bar present, but this was not ap-
preciated by the sensitive intellect of the
court. The counsel and court parted in
a huff. There viii be another writ of
habeas corpus.
