RACY CORRESPONDENCE
A Northern BOndhOlder's Letter Falls
Into the Wrong Hands.

The following correspondence ex-
plains itself. The original documents
fell by chance into our hands, and are
thought to be of sufficient interest to
publish one day ahead of the mail
which will carry them to the proper
owner in New York
New YORK, March 25, 1879.
JnO. w. Carrot 4 Sons-Gentlemen:
| am the owner of 5000 Memphis city
bonds, 1.-TWO bOnds), given twenty years
since to a,,railroad, and will soon ma
ture, | held them before the rebellion
and had full faith in them. | cut
from a paper a notice of suit begun
by you 18th January last. VIII you
oblige me with any information as to
the ultimate worth of those bonds (;
the chances of collecting the same.
At maturity cannot the railroad be
sued for the full amount with all UNI
paid coupons? | think we can.
Reputation of the debts of a State,
a city or a merchant, is quite as dis
astrous as shipwreck on a lee-shore.
That is the last of her. Her crew
leaves her; her captain, mate and
cook quit her, and wrcckers take what
is left of her. Such will be the fate
Of Memphis and the character and
credit of Tennessee, and hermerchants
will suffer-nOt mores than any other
repudiating State, town or county.
There is no man more independent
than a laboring man. white or black /:
he can live anywhere. Even he will
quit a swindling city, save his honor
and get some credit.
In New York we pay a tax of q per
cent. on the full value of property.
On a store | own valued at $4,000
worth not more than SIS, 000-I pay

and given to the orphans, was highly
relished and gave spirit and tone to
the boys the rest Of the day. We are
reminded thus of what everybody
knOws-that the Calf is one of the best
differed and most popular boats that
floats on the Mississippi. Many
thanks, gentlemen, and many more
safe and prosperous voyages.
Mr.. C. Decker, one of our most es-
tcemed German citizens, and one who
distinguished himself by labOrious and
unsel6sh services during the yellow
fever epidemic, was married last night
to Mrs. Rummell, an estimable lady,
who lost her husband last fall by the
fever. After the marriage ceremony
they departed on the Louisville train
for Cincinnati, where the happy and
worthy couple will spend the honey
moon. There is no one more honest
and industrious than Mr.. Decker, and
he has made a good choice in a part
uer for life. VIZ wish them a safe re-
turn and many happy years.
