the Republican party struggled to destroy
tho Government for four years beginning
with tho tall Of Sumter aud tho sur~

tion nraying for the appointment OF re-
ceiyer to wind up the affairs. of Wallace d

the receiver should be appointed that the co
partnership between himself aud David Wal

mutual consent and since that time the pusl-
ness has been run In the interest Of third par
ties, and for the purpose Of liquidation Pc
titioner and Wallace cannot however agree as
to the disposition Of the assets Of the firm OF
the settlement of the affairs and accounts OF
the old firm, and under the circumstances pc
titioner alleges receiver is necessary to
avoid great damage to the partners and the
creditors.
Owing to the illness of the foreman Of the
