the following its report OF the British Market
The severe FROST Of which we wrote last week, was
quickly succeeded by q rapid thaw, and trade, which
improving slightly, has relapsed into inactivity
AT PARIS the market has taken tho same course but

readily with the return OF mild weather In two or
three days -four rose nearly three francs. II looked
like the commencement of a steady reaction but the
advance almost wholly lost within three days Tho
abundance OF home supplies after the poor crop is
equally remarkable in France in England Not less
remarkable the fact that the stock OF -four in Paris
is much larger than last year Notwithstanding Its
large crop there, much more than here, the sup

In the House OF Commons tonight debate took place
upon the vote for the purchase the suez Canal shae

remuneration allowed the Rothschids The govern

He could not understand what benefit the country
would gain by holding the shares.
Mr. Stafford Northcote, Chancellor Of the Exchecquer,
replied the government were perfectly at the

Mr.. Disrael said he thought the discussion showed

After Iudge Emmons.

Mr.. John Alex Campbell has writteAa
letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer which
has created a sensation in the several
States comprising the Judicial Circuit OF
Judge Emmons. 1t is o salty and inter.
esting document, which we reproduce as
a matter Of news:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Enquirer;
A short time since | read observations
in your journal under the above heading,
for which the lawyers Of four States
should be grateful. The conduct of the
Judge alluded to excites the inquiry, is
he a tyrant2 Any lawyer is bound to
answer that the conduct of the Judge is
tyrannical, and, what is worse, that Jus.
tice is made uncertain by his maueuvers.
He takes the bench not to lear, but to be
heard, and arrogates to himself the pre-.
rogatlve to domineer over lawyers, old
and young, learned aud unlearned. His
conduct is foreign to modesty and good
manners. True, be delights in the word
brother" and the words learned eoun-
sci" as though such stuff justified bis
insOlence. He richly deserves the chas-
tisement Of an independent press. 1t will
do him good if he is honest, and | believe
he is. Not only will protest do the Judge
good, but tend to promote a better
administration Of justice, for as the case
now stands he plays with the privileges
Of the Bar aud with the law as boys dc
with toys; and as to the facts ia a law
suit he never learns them, for he will
not read a record himself nor ALLOW
counselto read it. True be will request
counsel to state TIE facts, but no sooner
does the statement begin than the Judge
begins too. He interrupts from the
jump, and before the scene ends the law
yer is Disguised and EmmOns, in his owl
estimation, is glor Ged But, after all, i
the lawsuit is decided right, it is an acct
dent, for no Judge knows be is right IN
less he fully knows the facts OF the case

the good conduct, character and loyalty
Of the notorious Frances Thompson.
Some Of these indorsers are here yet,
and they should step up and certify
again, now that the principal has gone
to protest. In the Ii hit of present events
these indorsers are in an unenviable po-
sition.
Frank, or Frances, Thompson now
edifes interviewers by telling each one
a different story, something that the
notorious Congressional Investigating
Committee witness is perfectly compe.
tent to do. Since the RAIDS made im-
ems political capital out Of Thompson
on account Of his Adventures during
the Memphis riots they should, as a mat
ter Of justice, elect him an honorary
member Of the Hayes Wheeler club, and
then the Frances Thompson party should
change the name OF the club to the
"Crutchy club" They should not go
back on an old friend and ally now that
he has been detected in bis Radical ras-
c%alities.
The School Board has appointed a
committee to investigate the books and
papers of Secretary Carnes, whose res
ienation was accepted by the Board on
Wednesday night. The books, it seems,
are in a bad fix, full Of interlineatious
and erasures, and the amounts do not
add up properly. Mr.. Rambaut is chair
man Of the committee of investigation,
and such will be made as thorough as
possible. Mr.. Carnes is old and inirm
and was incompetent to hold the Office
Of secretary, and this fact is no doubt
sufficient to account for the Irregularities
Of bis books; but as public money is in
volved, a thorough overhauling aud ex-
animation is certainly necessary. Pub.
lie servants must account to the people
for their actions with reference to public
funds.

For a time he was prosperous, and wrote

his parents home at Morenci, claiming
to be an old acquaintance Of theirs from

A member of the dramatic company

when she attempted suicide, says in the
Dramatic News; 1.-THE company were in

as the two doctors in attendance could
not control her. Violence was used to
control her. She was taken from her
bed and placed on a mattress on the
floor. Collier and Studley held her
down, but when the doctor ~endeavored
to get a glass of mustard and water to
her mouth, she said: No, no, let me die,
| want to die, | want to die, | won't live
and her strength was such that spite of
the combined strength OF the two men,
she broke away from them, upset the
glass of mustard and water, and rolled
herself of the mattress, saying again
L don't want to live But the doctors
told them 10 persist, however violent
they might seem, and they succeeded in
dragging her back on the mattress, and
held her down while another held her
head. Then the doctor got her in that
