real estate and property of the Company from
taxation and assessments for five years, and
has also conferred other great privileges.
Every American who understands the pur.
poses Of this Company will, of a necessity.
feel a pride in aiding it to a successful termi-

industry, energy and mechanical genius Of the
American people,"

intending to return Tuesday or Wednes-
day. On his return yesterday he found
to his surprise that one of his clerks had
onTuesday filed up a blank check on the
Mechanics National Bank for en- amount
sufficient to take up $l25, 900 in gold,
pledged by Eecles with the Third Ma
tional Bank as collateral for a loan.
This clerk who has disappeared, it is be-
lieved, intended to draw the gold and get
away with it, and would have done so
but for the fact that the bank would only
deliver the gold to Eccles, he having
arranged it with the bank never to give
up his collaterals except to himself per
sonally. As to the dispute between the
banks, that was settled in the first ten
minutes of business to-day by Eccles
giving the Third National Bank an order
to deliver the gold to the Mechanics
Banking Association, which has been
done, and which makes the check on the.
latter good. This morHing the Stock
Exchange was called to order to hear
the report of the committee charged with
the Investigation of the reported defal-
cation. The committee reported that
after a full investigation it was evident
that Eecles was in no way a party to the
attempt to defraud the Third National
Bank or any one.
A Milford Pennsylvania dispatch

and the Court Of Common Pleas Of Pike
county yesterday appointed President
Jewett receiver. The proceedings we're

says that the sensation story to the effect
that +. H. Eccles, a member Of the
Stock Exchange and Gold Exchange,
had defrauded or attempted to defraud

had absconded, is proved to have been
groundless by the return Of Mr., Eccles

New York last Saturday for that purpose.

JUDGE SAN WALKERS acceptance o.
the City Attorneyship will give entire
satisfaction to the community. Coming
directly from the bench, which he has
worthily filled FOR several years, he has
no clients to look after and will be able
to give his entire attention to the inter
ests of the city. 1t will take him some
time to get at the bottom Of the ques-
tons which have perplexed the Mayor
and General Council SO long, but he
possesses a clear, analytical and we'll
trained mind, free from bias, and will
bring to bear great energy and executive
ability. And now that he accepts a
position beset with peculiar difficult r,
let us suggest that interested or preju-
dicial parties stand back awhile aud
give him an opportunity to fairly inves-
tigate the work before him. Everybody
knows hat Judge Walker is honest, con
scientious and fearless, and that he will
deal frankly with the city, as well as
the holders of her bonds.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
The New York Tribune Of July LIST
says the average wages paid in Connect
cut per month to masculine teachers is
$7l and to feminine teachers $36. Now,
teachers salaries in Memphis are so
much larger, no wonder when Northern
men get In the Board they make haste
to bring down their friends and put them
in our schools. Miss Higbee is paid $3.50
per month, Miss Reudelhuber $l25, Miss
Conway 1920 and others $50 per month,
rather better than the $50 Connecticut
pays her women teachers. Memphis
pays per month Mr.. Picket $3.50 33b,
rather better than if he were in his
native North, where he would get $7l per
month, i. he got anything.

IT is almost certain that Boston's boy
fend, the child murderer, will be hung.
He killed two children whom he had
never seen before, and at different times,
without any p~roVocation whatever, as he
confesses. He is very intelligent and
shrewd, and no one would take him for
the moral monstrosity he is. The ladies
of Boston who are mothers unanimously
demanded that he should hang, and it ia
not likely that his sentence will be com
muted.

compliment in question, but admitted tnat
we were only poor judge of military mat

that in question, but we cited bis brag-

In .our estimates of the character OF this
b,oody-minded and rude officer that there y
hardly room for disagreement. What Little
there is We would leave to that really brave
and accomplished officer who, under the
signature of "D. n. NJ" gave US a, short
sketch of the monster in our paper OF sa'
turday. He knows SHERIDAN well, and Is
incapable of wrongDg him.
We do not now mean to say be is not

is seldom found in the heart Of brutal and

1t has long been matter OF surprise Wild
me that while the Federal Government e. e.,
Grant, Williams, &c. has been making sueb
a hue and cry about the White Leagues Or
ganized by the respectable citizens of Loulsi.
ana for their protection against political
usurpation the Conservative and Demo-
cratic press have in opposition made so little
mention of the Black Leagues, which are
known to have been in existence in all the
southern States ever since the close OF the
war, and which in point of terrorism and
aggression have far exceeded the White
Leagues.
| am glad to see that the late outrageous
military interference in the lawful organlza-
ton OF the Louisiana Legislature is attract
lug SO much and such deserved condemna-
ton all over our country--North. South, and
Wes'. 1t is to be hoped that our Governor
will not be backward in bringing the subject
to the efficient notice of our LegsIa: ure Don't

protest. :,

Massachusetts Looks Through the Key. Hole.
In the message Of Governor CASTOR to
the Legislature of Massachusetts is found the
following brief reference to Louisiana mat
ters:
1.-THE presence of an armed force of the
United States in Legislature Of State for
the purpose of settling an election contest
between political parties is matter Of great
concern to all people Of all States, more espe
cially in case where the possible effect OF
such presence may be to sLbyert the popular
will and impose upon people rulers whom
they have not selected. invite the imme.
diate attention Of the Legislature to this SUBJ
Ject." ...
We suppose that so far as the State in her
official and public councils is concerned this
view through the key-hole will be all that we
may expect,
Boston talks of public demonstration.
We should like to see it. 1t is good time
for the ADAMsEs, who are famous for being
on nearly all the great waves. But we ap'
prebend that the Faneul Hall patriots are,
like the saltwater terrapins, deep in the mud
about now. The descendants of the ten.
beavers are not at all excited.

was sent to Congress two years ago by Gene'
raj GRANT he said:
ITO Judge of the election and quahttca'
hons of its members IS the ercIusiUe proo1nce
of the Senate, as 1t is also the exclusive pro-
r,nce of the House to judge Of the election
and qualifications Of its members; but as to
State offices, filled aud held under state laws,
the decisions of the State judicial tribunal,
it seems to me, ought to be respected"
Which language proves that GRANT is not
