UNITED STATES COURTS.
When the Terms OF Court will Open
ut jackson and at Memphis-The
Counties Composing the Two
Divisions Of the West
ern District.

An act of congress passed some time ago
divided the United States district of West
Tennessee into two divisions, called the east
ern and western divisions of the district of
West Tennessee. This act provided for the
erection of a courthouse wherein to hold the
United States court, by Jackson and the
county of Madison. a late act of congress
repealed the former act so far as to provide
that the United States government will rent
a building at jackson for court purposes.
Judges Baxter and Hammond will hold
courts at Jackson on the fourth Monday IN
April and the fourth Monday in October OF
each year. The counties composing the east
ern division of the district are as follows
Benton, Carroll, Decatur, Gibson, Henderson,
Henry Madison, M N Nary, Hardin, Dyer Dyer
counties composing the western division OF
the district are Shelby, Fayette, Haywood,
Lauderdale and Hardeman. The terms OF
courts in this division will commence on the
first Mondays of May and November of each
wear.

members are directed to be appointed on said
board, one representing the mercantile and
one the railroad interest, one of whom will
perhaps be appointed from Memphis and
one from Nashville. The house and senate
have also passed on last reading bill to pro-
hibit the sale of oleomargarine In this State
unless so marked or branded. The senate
joint resolution, introduced by Mr.. Clapp, to
permit the remains of Hon. Charles Kor-
trecht to be disinterred and removed from
Bartlett, was defeated in the house, only two
of your members, Smith and Ramsey, voting
IN favor of the same. 1t is hoped, however,
that this action of the house may yet be re-
considered. The opposition to the bill was a
fear of the consequences Of such removal at
the present time.

bursements of revenue collected from 1865 to
1868, submitted report with resolution
accompanying the report, directing the comp
troller to give notice to railroads of the
amounts due, as shown in the exhibits &C
companying the report. Adopted.
The house resolution to adjourn sine die
Monday at noon was made the special order

and / am discussing another subject. Of
course an officer is bound to obey the orders
Of the President where the President is act
ing in strict conformity to the law. But we
are discussing the question whether or not
soldiers can be sent into a State for the pur-
pose of keeping peace at the polls, not for
the purpose of suppressing domestic insur-
rection and violence.
Mr.. Robeson-Do you understand that the
President of the United States is included in
the scope of this section which speaks of "any
other person engaged in the civil service of
the United States?" If he Is, and if he
should be called upon by the executive of a
State, properly and in a proper manner and
if he responds to that call would he be liable
to punishment under the provisions of this
section?
Mr. Carlisle-The President cannot be
properly called upon to do a thing which he
has no power to do. In other words, he can
not be properly called upon to send troops
into State to preserve the peace at an cleo
ton.
Mr.. Robson understood the gentleman
to say that he ihuuyh' - section did not
affect that power 81 the TX .cutlve.
Mr.. Carlisle desire to say that the words
of the section to which the gentleman has
called my attention are taken from the act
of February 25, 1865, and are an exact copy
thereof. l am not prepared to say exactly
what its true construction Is, but | do say
that this law cannot be so construed or
amended as to punish any officer or citizen
for dong which he has a right to do.
Mr.. Stephens then obtained the floor. but
stated that he was unable to proceed at pres
ent, and at his suggestion the committee rose
and the house adjourned.

A COMPARISON that is not calculated to
make a Teunessean feel very cheerful, is
that OF Alabama Is present financial condition
aud credit with our States. A few years ago
Alabama eight per cent bonds we're scarcely
considered worth picking up. But now, says
the Montgomery Advertiser, under the wise
and economical management of the Demo-
craft Coficers everything has been Frightening
since 1874. State obligations which, when
Governor Houston went into office, were not
worth seventy-fve cents on the dollar, were
above par long before he went out of office.
The last legislature authorized Governor
Cobb to issue n new series of bonds to the
amount Of one million dollars, not to exceed
SIX per cent. interest, with the proceeds of
whic.N he could retire the eight percent. OBJ
legations. A day or two ago he received an
offer from Boston, agreeing to take the
whole issue at One-balf per cent net above
par. This. h 1wever, he declined, for the
rood reason e., It he had already received
offers, largely from Als bsmians, which would
net the State two pei cent. above par. Under
all the circumstances, It Is Governor Cobb's
present intention TO issue 1--WE per cent in
stead Of six per cent bonds, and be has every
assurance that they can be speedily disposed
OF ut par.

What's the Matter with British Com
merce and ASriculIure2

LONDON, March 28.-In the house of lords
last night, Lord Huntley suggested that in
quiry be made into the depression of COM
merce and agriculture. Lord Beaconsfeld
acknowledged that the depression in agricul-
tural interests was unprecedented, but the
depression was anticipated when protection
was abolished. It was estimated
that the public wealth had di-
minished eighty million pounds, and the
area of land under cultivation had diminished
one million acres. English industry and
commerce, however, kept well on level with
those of forelgn countries. They suffered
only from low prices. the cause of which was
partly from the depreciation OF silver. Lord
Beaconsfed believed the inquiry suggested
would be without result, but possibly an
inquiry as to the change in the value of pre-
cious metals, and its effect on English indus
try. might hereafter be desirable.

The Bishop Purcell Relief Committee

element was occasioned at a meeting of
Catholic priests of this diocese, last night,
fer the purpose of perfecting plans for the
relief of Archbishop Purcell, by the an
nouncement that Frank Grever, Charles
Stewart and Thomas Seaman, had been ap-
pointed by Archbishop Purcell committee
to receive all charitable contributions to pay
the diocesan debt. These appointments were
understood to mean that the committee APP
pointed by the priests was completely ig-
nored, and caused a bitter discussion, in
which Father Callaghan, of the cathedral,
who was supposed to be at the lotion of
these appointments, was denounced, by the
German priests especially. The meeting
finally adjourned without taking any united
action on the matter in hand.
