Case.
Columbus Independent, eh.l

On Tuesday his honor, Judge
Hamm, after a full presentation Of
the case by opposing counsel, com
posed Of some Of the oest talent of
the Columbus bar, namely. Judge
Orr, Captain Humphreys, and
Messrs. Leigh and Evans for the
demurrer, and Captain E. T. Sykes
as plaintiff, decided that the bonds
held against the city of Columbus.
in favor of the Memphis and Selma
railroad are illegal and void, on the
ground that the board Of superyis-
ors, originally issuing them, had
nc authority for their action.
The case, we learn, will be ap-
pealed by the suing party, as ii
would have been in the other issue
Of the trial.

1t was scene worthy of the pencil OF
Il IIogarth when Duncan Il. Kenner
and old Mat Wells met to confer about
the vote of Louisiana. It was n meet
ing, we will suppose, in the nature of /,
horse swap. Says Wells: I'll swap
horses for 5000, 900 to boot. Kenncr re-
piled, 1 have not that much money
And then they failed to trade. What
Il pity that the insignificant sum Of
500, 900 should split Wells and Kenner
in IL trade. We fail to see what use
this State has for II Levee Company, or
Il Returning Board.

CURRAN'S REPLY TOJUDGE ROBIN

At II time when Curran was only just
rising into notice, and while he was yet
poor and struggling man, j Judge Rob-
inson, it is said ,ventured upon asneer-
ing joke which, small though it was,
but for Curran's ready wit and scathing
eloquence, might have done him irrc-
parable injury. Speaking ofsome opin-
ion of counsel on the opposite side, Cur
ran said he had consulted all his books,
and could not find Il case in Which the
principle in dispute was thus establish
ed. "That may be, Mr.. Curran,"
sneered the judge, "but 1 suspect your
law library is rather limited" Curran
eyed the heartless toady for y moment,
taliation: ''It is very true, my lord,
that am poor, and this circumstance
has certainly rather curtailcd my libr;,-
~. My books are not numerous, but
they are select, and 1 hope have been
perused with proper dispositions. l
have prepared myself for this high pro-
fesson rather by the study of Il few
good books than by the composition of
Il great many bad ones. l am not
ashamed of my poverty, but I should
he ashamed of my wealth if l could
stoop to acquire it by servility aud COR
ruption. If rise not to rank l shall
cease to he 50, many an example shows
me that al ill-acquired elevation, by
making me the moro conspicuous,
would only make me the more univer-
sally and VIGOROUSLY contemptiblc.'
