Special Notices.

AN ELEGANT STOCK.-The estab-
lishment of Messrs. Raphael Kahn &
Co., Shreveport, is now one of the most
attractive places in that city to the la
dies. Their stock of staple and fancy
dry goods is superb and is the admira-
ton of their visitors, as, are their low
prices. Their stock of clothing and
shoes is complete, and their line of car
pet goods is unrivalled.
A KAHN & CO.-This firm, which
keeps the only exclusive house-furnish-
ing establishment in the place, has on
sale one of the very finest and largest
stocks of crockery, glassware, cutlery,
stoves, tinware-in short all articles
embraced in the house-furnishing bus
mess, ever offered in this market.
Their prices are as low as those of any
similar establishmentin the Southwest.
They are also the sole agents in
Shreveport for the sale of the famous
Charter Oak Stoves, with all the late
improvements, which they are offering
at reduced prices.
REMOvAL.-Mr. John Caldwell
having disposed of his lower stable,
corner of Texas and Edwards streets,
Shreveport, La, will concentrate all
his slime and talent" upon the Eclipse
Stables located farther up on Texas
street and near the middle of the block.
He proposes to make these stables a
regular "Horse Palace" at the mere
sight of which animals of the equine
persuasion will neigh their apprecia-
ton and delight. Fine saddle and
harness horses, fine buggies and car
riages and hearses, will be his pro-
gramme, and he is determined, by
strict attention to man and beast and
business generally, to win for his board
ing house and stables yet higher
niche in the temple of fame.

A recent decision in the Sixth Cir
cult in the bankruptcy case has been
vaguely mentioned in the news of the
day as one of considerable importance,
but the point decided has been very
imperfectly stated. The Detroit Free
Press now brings us the full text Of the
decision. from which itappears that the
judges IN that Circuit, compromising
the State of Ohio, Michigan, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and West Virginia,
have hitherto declined to treat a gene
raj assignment for the equal benefit of
creditors as an act of bankruptcy,
though different practice prevailed
la ali the other Circuits in which the
question has arisen. The case now
decided, viz, Globe Insurance COM
pany of Chicago against the Cleveland
Insurance Company, was one in which
the point was involved. Judge En-
mons, in ruling it, intimated that the
Judges of the Circuit had heretofore
been constrained against their convic-
tons by a ruling anda dictum of Judge
Swayne. But letter from Judge
Swayne requested that a decision
might be made independently, and
Judge Emmons accordingly held, in
accordance with the decisions in the
other Circuits, that a general assigns
ment for the benefit of creditors is an
act of bankruptcy.

The case of DR.. D. s. johnson,
charged with having committed an
abortion on Kate Mccormick, tried
and honorably acquitted by the Grim
inal Court, on Tuesday, deserves more
than passing mention. The evidence
showed that injustice had been done
by the verdict of the Coroner's jury,
and that no indictment should have
been found. The prosecution was
pressed with more than usual vigor,
and the Doctor was ably defended by
ex-Attorneys General Wallace and
Horrigan. The result was a COM
plete vindication of DR.. johnson from
any improper or unprcfessional act in
connection with the case, the jury,
after q very brief consultation, bring
ing in a verdict of not guilty. The
press win, doubtless, by publishing
the result of the trial, in some mea-
sure repair the injustice done the
accused in giving publicity to the
grave but unfounded charge. Avail

And now the Cincinnati CONNER,
cial demands the payment Of Govern
meat bonds in silver. 1t has discov-
cred, at last. that the people have
rights which even the bond-holders
sboald be made to respect, and ss the
law of 1869 declares that the Govern
ment obligations shall be paid in coin,
the Commercial thinks the debtor
class should have the benefit of the
difference in the value Of the two
metals by using silver to discharge
the Government debt, instead of gold.
The Commercial puts the case thus !:
"The holders of the securities Of
the United States, payable, principal
and interest, in coin, are entitled to
the increase in value of their bonds,
owing to the success of our arms and
the Improvement Of our credit. We
are not complaining, sharp as the bar
gain is, that bonds bought with de-
preciated greeabaeks are payable in
appreciated coin But the holders
of securities must take the disadvan-
tages along with the advantages Of
the situation. They can be warranted
against the mutability of earthly
affairs. The best-the only thing we
can do with a contract, is to interpret
it justly and keep it strictly. If a
mountain of gold were discovered, and
there was marked decline-say
twenty per cent, in the course of "a
few years, in the value of gold COM
pared with silver-the debtor class
would get the benefit of it. The
holders of securities-the creditors of
all sorts-would not have a right to
complain of the imitation of the gold
dollar, and to demand payment in
silver; and they would have no right
now to complain if paid in the cheaper
metal, according to the old and long
established coinage Of the country. In
other phrase, the debtor class have a
right to the advantage that comes to
them through the cheapness Of silver
the right to pay in that metal-in
the old silver dollar--tbe debts that
were contracted before that dollar was
juggled out of legal tender standing
the debts payable when contracted
in that identical dollar"

In the course of MajorSykes' speech
at this place on Saturday, the 9th, he
used the following remark, as reported
in our last issue. 1--WE need Il class,
said he, Of small turner's, owning from
eighty to 100 acres of land, who will
cultivate their own land and not rely
on hired labor except as help in time
Of harvest or in making preparation
for the next years CROP This truth
Is strangely illustrated in the neigh
bOrhood of Gadsden or Bells Station,
ia Crockett county, or near Bartlett,
in Shelby county. We learn that be-
tween $50, goo and 100000 worth of
small fruits and berries will, in all
probability, be shipped from Gadsden
and Bells Station this, year, and also
a large amount from Bartlett, More
money is made in this way than on
the large plantations. They me COM
mencing the same kind Of business
around Milan, and, we doubt not, it
viii be found to be very profitable, if
skillfully managed. Like all other
business, however. it requires skill
and close attention. Sometimes there
may be failures, but as a general rule
it viii be far more profitable than the
system We have pursued. On these
small farms not only fruit can be
raised. but hogs cattle, poultry, and
all other things necessary for the sup
port Of 4 family. The Independent
small farmers, who arc self-suStaining,
