Debts TO the Bank Of tennessee.

The question of eDjoining the Trustee of
the Bank Of Tennessee from receiving
"NeW Issue" in payment Of debts to the
Bank being mOOted, Judge Watson, the
Trustee, intends to apply to the ChanceTy
Court for instructions on the subject. He
stated to a reporter for this paper that lie
had no doubt If the validity of the 'New
Issue" as a tender for debts due the Bank,
since the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court, and could see no reasonable pTetext
for the application for an injunction. New
ertheless, as others disagreed with him, he
would call for instructions from the Chan
cellOr. So far, very little Of the "New Is
sue" had been rendered by the Banks cred
itOrs, while there was enough out to pay
the greater part, or nearly all Of what is
owing TO the Bank.

and an acknowledgment Of the many kind

The presentation speech was neatly made
in behalf of the employees by J. L. Milan.
Although Mr.. Hazard had been taken Ell
tirely by surprise, he responded in a very
happy style. When the speeches were con-
Guided, the boys were invited to partake Of

THE STORMS WAKE.
From GaIIatIn 20 Chatta-
nOOga.


nOOgR.
Gallatin was visited yesterday by a
storm of wind, rain and hail, but il was
too light to add material damage to that of
Wednesday, when the Cotton Factory, Sin
die House, Examiner Office, and Beebe's
store, were totally or partially unrOOfed
and flooded, entaIing a loss of several
thousand dollars. It is thought, hOweve-,
that the crops in the track Of the hurricane
suffered no serious damage.
In Chattanooga, the union passenger de-
pot was slightly damaged and James Hall,
the Methodist and Baptist Churches and
Edwards whisky house were wholly or
partially unrOOfed. Besides, a number Of
small houses were blown to the ground
the aggregate damage in the city running
up into the thousands extravagantly.
It rained torrents in Nashville yesterday
and the day before. Up to yesterday we
heard of localities in Williamson and Rob
ertson counties where rain was badly
needed. But some apprehension has arisen
that too much rain is falling for June, in
terfering with the work Of harvesting and
auguring a dry July-the farmers dread,
on account Of his corn crop.
