The act of Congress incorporating the
United States International Commission
for the purposes of holding Worlds Fair
in New York in 1888, in celebration of
the Tooth anniversary of the treaty of
peace and the recognition of American
Independence, provides for the appoints
ment of two Commissioners from each
State, with two alternates, and also names
about one hundred gentlemen of the city
of New York as incorporators. In accor-
dance with the act the Secretary of State
has given notice to the various State Gov
errors to make their nominations, and
they are already beginning to forward them
to the President. They will be received
up to June 23d, sixty days after the passage
of the act. The Secretary of State has
then to give reasonable notice to the Com
missioners to meet in the city of New York.
If he gives thirty days. notice the Com
missioners will probably meet about July
23d Their first duty will be to form a
temporary organization, and provide for
opening books of subscription for the cap
ital stock. They will then adjourn, and
the subscription books will remain open
sixty days, which will bring the time up to
September 23d, when a meeting of the
Commissioners and stockholders will be
called. The stockholders will elect
finance committee of twenty five, the
of which may be selected from
the commissioners already appointed, or
those who are not commissioners but stock
holders only; but if they are not Commits
sioners they become so on being elected to
The finance committee. The entire Com
mission then effect permanent organiza-
ion by the election of officers, adoption of
y-laws, appointment of committees, and

De commenced to complete the arrange

Appeal from the Chancery Court of
Bolivar county, Hon. W. q. Phelps,
Chancellor.
This case has been once before in this
Court and is reported IN SO Miss, 321-31,
which is referred to for a statement of such
facts as are not contained in the opinion of
the court, which is published in full.
L. j. e. f. A. r. Wharton and +. A.
Montgomery for appellants.
Nugent u Melville for appcllees.
CAMPBELL, j.,
Held
The opinion of this Court delivered in
TINS case at former term is contained in
% Miss, 329 ct sea. Afterwards, the COM
plalnants exhibited their amended bill,
averring the liability of the separate estate
of Mrs. Lenoir NOW Mrs. Cooper not by
virtue OF the mortgage, which had been
pronounced to be void, as to her, but
because OF the dealings had between COM
plainants and Mr.. Lenoir.
The bill, as amended, brings the case
within the principle of the case of Guion
VS.. DOherty, 43 Miss, 53S, repeatedly fol-
lowed in this Court, and the evidence
maintains the amended bill. The original
bill was filed 10th of December, 1868, and
the amended bill was exhibited 16 of May
1877. The statute of limitations is pleaded
against the demand of the amended bill.
The Chancellor maintained this demand, TO
the amount of $4,000, because to that
amount, 1t was asserted in the original bill,
which was filed in December 1868. The
excess OF the claim over $4,000, not being
demanded by the original bill, was held to
DC barred by the time elapsed before the eX-
hibitlon of the amended bill. Counsel for
appellants lay stress on the fact that the
note was paid by credits admitted by
appellees. This may be true, and il does
not affect the right of complainants to
recover on their account to the extent that
it is not barred by lapse of time. The gist
Of the amended bill is that the complain |
ants are entitled to charge the separate |
estate of Mrs. Lenoir because Of the pur- |
;hases made by her husband, in the manner |
md under the circumstances detailed by |
he bill. The answer claims the allega- |
ions of the bill, as to the liability Of the |
Estate of Mrs. Lenoir, and relies on the /
apse Of time, as a bar to the claim against /
Ter estate, If il ever was liable. We think |
he bill is maintained by proof, as we have |
DefOre stated; and the answer 20 the /
lefence Of lapse Of time, is, that to the /
mount of 5000, the demand Of complain
nts was asserted in their original bill, and
Though the amended bill was exhibited
n 1871, the claim asserted by il is the very
ne asserted originally, aud the amend
nent in the statement Of the claim, and the
elief sought in the varied statement Of
he demand, are TO be viewed as IL en-
raced in the original bill.
Decree affirmed.

Appeal from the Chancery Court of
Yazoo county, Hon. E. G. Peyton, Chan
cellor.
Plaintiff in error having purchased, or
attempted to purchase, at execution sale a
tract of land which the defendant in exc
cution had sold by title bond previous to
the rendition of the Judgment, and of
which the vendee under the title bond held
possession, filed his bill seeking to ascer-
tain, and reach the interest of the vendor
A. NJ. Harlow and Nugent Il Melville
for appelent.
Hudson d. Hudson for appellcs.
CHALMERS, j.
Held
1. The bill cannot be maintained. 1t is
the settled doctrine of this Court that the
vendor of land by title bond, where any
part of the purchase money has been paid,
has no interest in the land which is vendi-
BILE under execution.
2. 1t seems to have been intimated argu-
endO in Bell VS.. Flaherty, 40 Miss, 694, that
the execution purchaser under such cir
cumstances, while he did not acquire the
legal title to the land might, by bill
in equity, reach and subject the money
due by the vendee. The decisions of this
Court lend no sanction to this idea.
3. 1t has been uniformly held that the
vendor by title bond occupies toward the
land sold the attitude of a mortgage, and
with equal uniformity it has been declared
that mortgage being mere security for
a debt, the interest of the MORTGAGE was
not vendible under execution. If not VEN
dible, nothing, of course, possesses by the
sale, and the purchaser from the Sheriff
having acquired nothing, has no locus
Standi in any court.
Decree dismissing the bill affirmed.

We are glad to State that the Su-
preme Court at Jackson, has affirmed
the decision of Judge Watson, declar-
ing Mr.. L. r. Wilson Sheriff Of GallO-
busha county, with all the rights,
privileges and emoluments Of the
office. This is as il should be, and just
what we expected when that clear
headed, righteous Judge, (Watson),
gave his Judgment i'm the case. We
hope now, this ends the political
troubles Of that good old county, from
which we sprang as a body polite.
We always feel a sort Of personal in
terest i'm the affairs OF that county,
from the foregoing fact. Mr.. Wilson
is an upright, conscientious gentle
man, who will carry into his official
dealings, those personal attributes
that have marked his career as a pri-
vate individual, and i'm saying this we
pronounce the highest eulOgy we could
utter upon the citizen and officer

Appeal from the Chancery Court of Tip
pah county, Hon. A. b. Fly, Chancellor
Harrell sold land to Kitchens, and gave
him bond for title. He was afterward
adjudcated bankrupt, and subsequently
made Kitchens a deed to the land. The
question presented is, could Harrell make
deed to the land while he was in bank
ruptcy, OF was his assignee in bankruptcy
the proper party to make it.

appellant.
Falkncr ~ Frederick, and Thos. Spight
for appellees.
CAMPBELL, j.,
HeM--
"No property held by the bankrupt in
trust shall pass by the assignment" is the
language of section 5053 of the revised
statutes of the United States. Harrell, the
obligor in the bond for title, was Il mere
naked trustee of the legal title, without
any beneficial interest whatever in the
land, at the time he was adjud!catod Il
bankrupt, and the title.was not Invested by
his bankruptcy, and the deed made by him
was by the proper person to vest title in
Kitchens.
Decree affirmed.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
WASHINGTON, June 16, 80.


To the Superintendent of the Census:
Sir Il acknowledge the receipt OF
your letter of the 14th instant, in
which you request the Department to
cOnstrue that portion of Section 10 of
the Act approved March, Sd, 1879,
entitled " An Act to provide for
taking the tenth and subsequent
censuses, " which reads as follows:
"The compensation allowed to any
Enumeration in any district east of the
one hundredth meridian shall not eX-
coed an average of four dollars per
day of ten hours actual field work
each, and the compensation allowed
any Enumerator in any district west
of the one hundredth meridian shall
not exceed six dollars per working
day of equal length. "
In the view of this Department,
trainers of the provision quoted in
tended thereby to fix basis of COM
pensation which should not be exceed
ed, and to direct that the EnumeratOrs
for districts east of the hundredth
meridian should not be paid at rate
exceeding four dollars for ten hours
actual field work, or forty cents an
hour, and that Enumerators for dis
tricts west of the hundredth meridian
should not be paid at rate in excess
of six dollars for ten hours work, or
sixty cents an hour, without regard
to the number of days over which
their service should extend.
The law evidently cOntemplates
that if an Enumerator should be
i'm actual fed work for
twelve hours a day during the whole
term required to complete his work he
should be paid for twelve hours work
each day at a rate not exceeding four
dollars for ten hours work, or forty
cents per hour, i'm districts east of the
meridian, aud at a rate not
exceeding six dollars for ten hours
word. OF sixty cents an hour, for dis
tricts west of the hundredth meridian.
On the other hand, If the EnumeratOr
should average but eight hours per
lay of actual field work for his whole /
term Of service he should be paid for /
eight hours work a day at a rate per
hour not exceeding forty or sixty /
cents, according to the district in
which he was employed.
Very respectfully,
G. SCHURz,
Secretary.

Error to the Circuit Court of I'd District
Chickasaw county, Hon. j. A. Green
Judge.
This case originated before a Jus
tice of the Peace, resulting there in a
judgment against plaintiff in error. He
made the proper affidavit and bond for an
appeal to the Circuit Court, but by mistake
the Justice failed to date or sign the affi-
davit. In the Circuit Court a motion by
defendant in error was made to dismiss
the case on account of said defect, There
upon plaintiff in error asked that the JUS
tice be then allowed to sign and date the
affidavit, he being present at the time, but
this application was refused and the motion
to dismiss prevailed.
A. Y. Harper for plaintiff in error.

The Circuit Court should have permitted
the amendment of the affidavit for the
appeal, and for refusing it, the judgment
is reversed, and the cause remanded, with
directions to allow the amendment. and
