WHATEVER We have said Of Mr..
Hanson, we never for a moment doubted
or called in question mis- integrity or
sincerity. His course IS city attorney
has been characterized by frankness and
openness, but ii is fault Of his nature
that he is little chaugeable, as was
shown by the report of the special COM
nittee yesterday, and has, in too
large quantity, the pertinscity that
il so prominent a quality in many Of his
profession. He sticks to his position, as in
the case Of the c1mptroller's report, de
spite that gentleman's Teiteration Of it
and the Endorsement Of it 10y the special
committee and the general council. He
insists on his six million five hundred
thousand dollars, and We suppose we
will have 10 indulge him. A
million or two is a small matter. Let
IL 90. The weather is warm,
and TOO hot for controversy. Besides,
Mr.. Hanson has been so earnest
for the welfare Of Memphis, and has la
bored 20 faithfully in his own way to
accomplish il, that we feel we can for
give him his weakness OF six millioh
five hundred thousand dollars, and even
indulgs him in a little railery and inuen'
do at or own expense. We can afford to
let the midnight cOgitation with Mayor
League pass, since, like Ca sar's wife, we
are above suspicion, Our virtue cannot
be assailed. II has stood harder tests
than even a virile Irish mayor can sp-
ply, and has PISSED unscathed, We are
both virtu5us aud happy, and intend to
remain SO

THE APPEAL, having ct last struck
the true policy with reference to our mu-
nicipsl debt, will, we take it, now urge
a settlement OF the State debt on the
same basis Of fairness and justice. Any
other course would involve an lTrecOn-
cilsb;e inconsistency.-AUdtanche.
The State debt has, as we understand
it. been finally disposed OF, and upon a
similar basis, The funding act having
provided that bonds illegally and
frauduleutly issued should not be
funded, aud nearly all that have
been recognized are bonds for which
tie state received a quid pro quo. The
kPPEAL Is consistent and will remain
so. We opposed Reputation by the
State. favored the enforcement Of dues
to the Stale by delinquent railroads, the
throwing out Of Illegal and fraudulent
bonds and war claims. This has been
accomplished and the State debt
has been reduced to little
less than twenty-three million dollars,
from a little over forty million dollars.
.le CITY utD-i We iuHl9bi HhONiu &c 1ACA1-
sI I'm the same manner. Fraudulent
bonds should be thrown cut, and since
the United States supreme court says so,
bonds that have been cold at less
than their face value should te
paid Tor Just what was received,
aud no more. This is no new
pasition for the APPEAL to take. 1t was
assumed by US as early SIS the question
was raised by Mayor LOsgue, and We
have Versistently urged it ever since.
We repeat that We regard the finances
OF the stste defnitively settled, and
up0- q basis fair, just and honorable to
the State and her creditors. IL the city
can succeed a. well We shall be satisfied.
To that end we invoke the aid and as
sistsnce Of the AualdHche.

Rich as he is in mental eDdowments,
prodigsl as his labors have been, they
cannot shelter an Offense against the
law. Genius as lofty could not save
Bacon; he sinned and fell, and upon his
memory history has written the epitsph
the wisest, greatest, meanest OF man
kind. Toward great men who fall is
disgrace like this. AS Whittier New
England's gifted poet, writes, IN his
poem called IchabOd: $50 fallen, so lost,
the light Withdrawn which once he bore,
the glory of his gray hairs gone for ever
more.u Deride him not.
MI Beach then submitted his cause
to the jury, by reading an extract from
an address Of Daniel Webster. The ex-
tract was an admonition to the Jurors to
do their whole duty, according to their
oaths, regardless of consequences.
Hearty applause followed.
Mr.. Abbott said they had number OF
requests to make in his charge, and
asked if his learned friend desired to
make any.
We have none to make, said Mr..
Beach.
We will hear your requests now, said
Judge Nelson.
Mr.. Abbott then read the requests to
and fifty-five in number, aud Of which
a copy was handed to the court. During
his reading Of the requests, Mr.. Abbott
quoted from several authorities, to which
Morris objected. on the ground that the
counsel was using arguments, but Judge
Nelson said that the reading Of them
could do no harm. Anyway, said he,
they all relate to divorce cases, and am
perfectly familiar with them.
When Mr.. Abbott had finished his
reading, Mr.. Beach arose and requested
that the court appoint some time and
place for hearing Of an application to
reopen the case, on the ground of newly
discovered evidence. TO this Judge
Nelson stated that he would like to
hear what the defense had to say about
it; but MIR. Evarts replied that he had
nothing to ssy in the matter. Judge
Nelson said there was no necessity for
fixing time and place to hear the mo-
ton, as no objection was raised by the
other side; and that if the affiuavits
which counsel said he had to sustain the
application were given him he would
examine them, and give his decision to.
morrow before he began his charge. The
affid8vits were then passed up to his
honor and the court adjourned.

Economy.

From the chronological J0aTnat.l
Money is a question Of industry,
and as long as we have healh. there
is money stored up in our brains
and In oursinews, of which we are
the lawful bankers, and which is
subject to our draft but, when we
contemplate the economy ofsome
thing that once lost is lost forever,
the question assumes a new impOr-
lance For instance, our vitality Is
part of our stock in trade. We start
out in life, usually, with portion
sufficient to our needs. To illus
trate, we will suppose, when upon
the eve of a journey, a man was
given sum of money sufficient to
carry him to his destination in
comfort and safety, but assured
that this would be the. extent Of
the supply, and that, If he grew
careless or wasteful, he would be
set upon by robbers or perish by
the wayside, would we feel called
upon to pity him ifhe should wan
tonly waste this precious capital?
Yet this is but true picture Of our
extravaganza in the matter Of vi
tality; we fling 1t away upon our
amuse ments, our appetites, and
our avarice and, before the shad
ows of middle life fall athwart our
paths, we are set upon by robbers
in the shape Of disease, or sink
down upon the threshold OF use
fulness, utterly drained ofstrength
and vigor.
Nature intended'that we should
live temperately, and her penalties
are severe and certain in the end.
We are always ready enough with
promises of reform, but somehow
that artful villain, self-indulgence,
always has a key that will fit the
locks of our resolutions, and he
just glides in and takes us by sur
prise, and, once face to face with
him, We are towards in our cause.
