The recent assignment of the we'll
known firm Of Walker Bros. & Co. is
one Of the leading topics in mcrcan
tile circles. The firm is the oldest in
Memphis, having been in existence
full thirty years. Its senior member
began at the bottom round
Of the ladder, having at
one-time been a peddlar in the early
history of the settlemontof this region.
The firm grew up with Memphis and
for years was regarded as one Of the
most solid among us, owning property
to a considerable amount. For sew
eral years past the firm has evidently
felt the vicissitudes of the times to
a considerable degree and the
general depression during the past
two years has had its effect in forcing
the firm to succumb. The liabilities
of the firm are given at about S2O4, 900,
of which $4,000 is to preferred credi-
tors. The Indebtedness is scattered
nearly all over the country. The pre-
ferred creditors are as follows F:
Mrs. B. Cans, $4,296.75; Sam.
Hirsch, $3,S46.35; Mrs. Ann
Block, 81, 91.4O; R. Buchanan,
S4,621. 10; Regina Wolff $1,000. The
Bowling Green Manufacturing Com
pany is also a creditor to the amount
of s3,254.1O. The assignee, Mr.. S.
Vendig, has qualified by giving bond
to the extent of $4,000, and accord
ing to the arrangement, he is first to
pay the preferred sAafter which
the assets, if any are left, must be
divided pro rata among the remainder
of those to whom the firm are indebt-
ed. The general impression is that
the firm will not be able to pay much,
if any more, than twenty five cents on
the dollar, of their indebtedness.

SENATOR CLARKsoN of ColfaX
stood forward in the senate in a
prominent vote. He is determined
to void the patent hitherto allowed
in the state OH one of the ''inven-
tiOns of Satan." The honorable
gentleman asked the senate to adopt
a resolution which should disqualify
for two years, persons who had
served as jurors in county and dis
trict court, that is, he proposed that
after service for one term, it shall be
two years before a person shall be
called upon 10 act, as a juror again.
The Senator in support Of his motion
said its intention was 10 rid the
state of an abominable parasite-the
professional juryman; and as a con-
sequence, the courts of his familiar
photograph. In the country he was
not so great an afliiction as in the
cities; but still they know enough
OF him to be well aware that he was
an invention of Satan, whose func-
ton was to belittle the administra-
ton of justice, to make a farce of
the most sacred institutions, to pun
ish the innocent and to reward the
guilty. The honorable gentleman's
energetic, if short speech seemed TO
