Mr.. A. B. Ames, who has Just ar.
rived from Marshall, and who is now
in the city, tells US something of James
Currie 5 prison life.
Il saw Currie recently" said Mr..
Ames. lie is not a progressing look
ing man. II so at any time in his life
he certainly is not now. His brutal
face, whitened by the prison pallor,
does not give to him the appearance of
a philanthropist. He is a very surly
man, and | doubt but that he would
kill his keeper, no matter how much
kindness has been shown, if he were
out and were to meet him anywhere.
/ saw him in the Jail once. TO look
at him is enough. He is not a man
whose appearance would say. be
ware, to you; but one who says, "I'll
get even with you"
What do the people Of Marshall
think Of him p
They think very little Of him. He
is rarely alluded tC by any one"
DO they think, you suppose. that
the law will be very severe on him ?"
81 don't know; l don't think so. A
Texas juryman, when a man is on trial
for his life, seems to think, well, If
this man Is hung, no one will be bene
flied the dead mai is gone any way
Those people are impulsive and are
ready to act at the moment, but defer
anything for months and they lose
their yindictiveness. l don't believe
Currie will be injured much"

the subjoined questions, in out
line, for answer. The FIRST question
to be adiudicated is whether the act Of
he Tennessee Legislature, repeating
the charter of the city Of Memphis,
and destroying its corporate existence
is a valid law. Second, whether the
portion Of the act creating the Taxing
District, which vests the indebtedness
and the taxes due the city of Mem
phis, in the state Of Tennessee, is a
valid law. Third, whether the repeal
OF the city's charter destroyed or ex-
tinguished the debts it owed.
Fourth, whether the taxes levied by
the city and remaining uncol-
lected, are such assets as cred
itors may subject to the pay
ment of their debts. Fifth,
supposing the city Of Memphis
and the debts remaining notwithstand-
ing, in what may and by what pro-
ceedings is payment of the debts to be
enforced2
This latter involves minor questions
as eollaries, viz: whether that pay
ment is to be made through Taxing
District government by compelling it
to levy and collect taxes or through
the courts by the rendition Of person
al judgments against those owing
taxes or upon whom taxes may here
after be levied.
The above is a mere outline of the
case which will have such an impor-
tant bearing upon Memphis,
Thursday night, the 18th, Miss Bet
tie Danger6eld, of this city, and Judge
James A. Anderson, of Memphis, will
be united in matrimony. The cere-
mony will be in st. Johns Episcopal
church. Miss Dangerfeld is from the
old Dangerfeld family of Maryland
and Virginia, being the granddaughter
Of the beautiful and distinguished
Miss De Courcy. Consequent upon
the loss of her estate by the results Of
the civil war, Miss Dangerfeld with
the characteristic pluck and and true
excellence Of a southern lady, sought
and obtained a position in one of the
government departments. She has
the entree to the best Of Washington
society, not more because of her fami-
ly descent than her noble qualities
Of heart and brilliant attributes of
mind. Ineyery way equal in family
lineage and thoroughly as estimable,
Miss Dangerfeld will be an ornament
to the home, and a worthy possessoi of
the love she has inspired in the heart
Of this gentleman.
