The WarehOuscmen's and Factors,
Act Declared Unconstitutional.
ashyiIle American Feb. 3d.

Nashville American Feb. 3d.
A case of great interest to ware
hOusemen and factors was decided
yesterday by the Supreme Court, in
the case of w. G. GOssett VS.. the
State.
Gossett is a tobacco grower resi-
ding in Robertson county, and pro-
cured from Smith & Kennedy, mer-
chants and factors of GAINESVILLE, an
advance upon his crop of tobacco,
upon promise of conveying it to
them. When the tobacco was made
ready for shipment, one Boone, to
whom he was indebted, solicited
GOssett to make him mortgage of
the tobacco to secure his debt. To
this the objection was interposed by
GOssett that Smith d Kennedy had
made him an advance upon it; but
finally, Boone was given a bill of
sale of it, absolute on its face, but
cOntempOraneOus agreement was
made STIMULATING that the. sale of
the tobacco was for the purpose of
securing Smith & Kennedy, Boone,
and another creditor, and that the
tobacco was to be consigned to
Smith & Kennedy. Boone, with
out the consent of Gossett, and think
ing it to the best interest of all par
ties, shipped the tobacco to Nashville
and afterwards to New York, where,
on being sold, the proceeds turned
out to be insufficient to pay Smith
d Kennedy anything, Whereupon
an indictment was found against
GOssett, based upon the 18th section
Of Of oh Snh
among other things, enacts that
"WhOever shall procure an advance
upon property and shall subsequent
ly sell, hypothecate, or pledge the
same to another and use the proceeds
thereof for any other purpose than
the payment of the party advancing
thereon shall be guilty of felony"
Gossett was convicted and adiudged
to pay a fine of 81 800, the act per-
hitting fine of s., 900 to be imposed
On appeal, the Supreme Court de-
clares this section of the act uncOn-
stitutiOnal and void, as being repug-
nant to act 2, section II of the Con-
stitutiOn, which declares that no
bill shall become a law which en-
braces more than one subject-that
to be expressed in the title. The
title of the act in question is "An
act to define the rights and duties,
and regulate the liabilities of ware
housemen and factors" The court
expresses their regret at having to
declare the act unconstitutional, as
it provides very great security to
WarehOusemen and factors for their
advances to planters and farmers,
as well as to others advancing mon
ey upon other species of property.

The first Eptstse Of Peter % Titus, Greeting.

The first Epistle Of Peter 20 Titus, Greeting:
MEssRs. NEBLETT & TITUS 81
am constantly admonished by the
Book of Chronicles that / am in
debted to the writers thereof,
whose yoke is not easy, nor burthen
light, and also, that they are sorely
in need of this worlds goods. This
being the sum and substance set
forth in the Chapters of the Chron-
icles. Now /, Peter, will say unto
you that I hope you will forgive my
slothfulness, for l take heed and in
cline to your call, as the Lord has
been good concerning my household,
and has shown His bountiful hand
unto his servant, and / am permit
ted by the skin of my teeth, to en-
close to your care and keeping, two
dollars principally in filthy lucre)
and We are the witnesses that bear
testimony that these sayings are
true, and j can testify, also, when /
see the full credit on the stamp of
the next Book of Chronicles, dating
toward the latter end of the year of
our Lord, 1878. In all charity and
brotherly kindness, / hope We will
bear in mind, after which time, /
do not desire to take and pay for the
Good Book of Chronicles, unless
can gain part of the world and flee
the wrath to come; so do not send
it, except pay in advance, tho it
grieves my heart to say so, for /
will have been taking, paying and
enjoying the Chronicles for 10
these one score and ten years lex
cept when those writings were 81
lent during war and pestilence), and
it seems like bidding adieu to a
good, true and pleasant friend. But
the evil days draw nigh, and all the
land cry out, Verify, verify say
unto you, it is hard times, and the
way of the transgressOr is hard, and
all is dark, deep and fathomless with
but one ray of light, that light is,
that the Sterling qualities of silver
may be restored. Grant that it
may be done for it is meet and
fright that it should be, and Titus,
my friend and fellow traveller, to
will say amen. The wise
men of the East and North are liken-
ed unto Ephriam of old, prone to ras-
cality, so no man knoweth whittier
he goeth to, or whence he COM
eth. There are two words that
are an abominatiOn in the sight of
the most right thinking men,
namely, vouchsafe and resumption.
Please do not vouchsafe any re-
sumption gin mine," for l am will
ling to take all the "Rag Babies"
in all the land of Israel, "dry So"
rather than be Pinchbacked by gold
that rusts and corrupts the mighty
men, holding the Bonds of unity.

WE clip the following from the
Cheatham county Plaindealer of
the eth inst. His many friends will
read it with pleasure:
Rev. J. W. CullOm of the Antioch
Circuit, has been several days in
our town preaching acceptably to
large and appreciative audiences.
Brother CullOm meets with hosts of
warm personal friends in our coun-
ty, having been born and reared in
this vicinity. For a number of
years, however, his lot has been
cast in distant fields, but ever he
returns to revisit, the scenes of his
child, and early manhood he meets
with a hOspitable and kindly well
come from all those who have
known him longest and best.
We only regret that his stay with
us is necessarily brief, may he live
long, and in the future, as in the
past, faithfully discharge the duties
assigned him, and in the end may
his name be found "writt en- in the
lambs book of eternal life"

CHARTER AND DIGEST OF THE LAWS OF THE
CITY OF CLARKSVILLE. Compiled 1871 by
Louis q. Munford. Clarksville, Tenn,
Neblett & Titus, Printers-Chronicle JOB
Office, 1873.
The compilation of our City Ordi-
nances, just published, is done in a
workman-like style, and forms a
creditable termination to the official
duties of Mr.. i. G.. Munford in his
capacity as City Attorney. We
confess to Il culpable ignorance on
our own part of the laws of the city,
and think that perhaps our case is
not solitary one. Remembering
that ignorance of a law is no legal
excuse for its violation, our "friends
and fellow-citizens" will do well to
read, mark, learn and inwardly di-
geSt this not very yoluminous di-
gest. One thing if nothing else will
result from its perusal, and that is
the discovery that many excellent
laws of the city have been long dor
mant through the fact that nobody
thinks it his duty TO enforce them.
We think we see a change of feeling
overspreading our community in
this respect which our public func-
tionaries will do well to respect and
do their whole duty in the admin
istration of all the laws. \ word to
the wise.

OFFICE OF THE CHRONICLE 81.

OIARhsNI LLhs ftD. To- 1910.
Our offerings this week were about 400 hogs
heads. The market showed a fair degree Of
activity, with no material change in prices
The general order of the breaks was not so
good, and the quality only medium. We
hope soon to see better quality on the breaks,
which would meet good demand at fair
prices. We are down TO the hard-pan-gold
and paper money are nearly on a par, and
we cannot expect the same prices as when
gold was ten to twenty per cent. premium.
Wages and everything else have shrunk in
price, and the great staples must also COM
mand lower values. Our crop is very large
one, and even at moderate prices will bring
a great deal of money into the country. We

Mr.. RiIey's Lecture.

1t will be remembered that we an
nOunced last week a lecture to be
delivered by Mr.. Riley, editor of
the Tobacco Leaf, at the request of
the ladies of the Baptist Church, on
Tuesday, the 18th inst. We ac-
knowledge that our general feeling
on going to a lecture is that we are
going to be bored, however able the
lecturer if any such impression ex-
listed in our minds last Tuesday
night it was soon removed by the
delivery of a really very fine lecture
on "The Sublime and Beautiful"
Mr.. Riley very wisely abstained
from attempting a logical definition
of what constituted the sublime and
beautiful, or what is the nature of
the mental emotion with which
they are contemplated he preferred
to give instances of the sublime and
beautiful in art and nature, leaving
their acceptance to their intrinsic
power to command it. While the
lecture was full of beauties, and sub
limities, too, we will specially note
the description of storm at sea as
a remarkable specimen of word
painting. Several bursts of applause
were elected, but the highest COM
pliment to the lecturer was the fixed
and profound silence which
prevailed throughout.
