The United States District Court
has decided that where prospectors
are assisted or Quilted for the pur-
pose OF hunting mines and making
mining locations, it makes no differ
ence whether they locate them with
the parties SO assisting, in order for
them to claim equal interest in the
property located. Those contributing
to the prospecting fund are in the
eyes OF the law, co partners in the
property located whether one or all
be named in the location notice. and
their interests can, under no crcum-
stances, be disposed Of but by and
with their knowledge and consent. =,
The decision involves the principle
that irand Shall never avail the perpe-
traitor any thing when exposed aud
made apparent. The learned Judge
IN rendering his decision, closed as
follows: Not unfrequently impecu-
nious Individuals have, with fraudu-
fent intent, procured assistance and
then betrayed the rest by placing on.
ly their own names on the location no.
tlce; and that it was the province of
the Court to rcctify the wrong. There
fore, the Court awards the plaintiff an
equal interest in the mine located, and
instructs defendants to make a deed
said interest, or to be held
in contempt for noncompliance"

The truth is that Sherman is vain
man, who has been ruined by success
and fiattery, and is possessed Of a
chronic hallucination that he is great
General He is really a man Of very
mediocre talents. either civil or mill
tary, and owed his success entirely to
superior numbers and the lack Of en-
terprise on the part Of his antagonist,
who either could or wonld do nothing
but retreat, seeming anxious to be
called the Fabius of the civil war.
Had Stonewall Jackson. confronted
Sherman in 1854, instead of Joe John
ston, different tale would have been
told in my book. That incompatible
body Of infantry he led, so rapid of
march as to have earned the title of
foot cavalry, would soon have brought
Sherman's marches to an inglorious
end. Ills so-called march to the sea,
$50 much lauded," was really the most
absurd Of military maneuvers under
taken in all the tide Of time. 1t was
right in the teeth of all the rules of
war, and but for the fact that the Con-
sederacy was then in its death agonies
must have resulted in the irretrievable
ruin of Sherman's whole army. That
lis band of "bummers," which was
virtually an organized gang Of plum
ierers, was not destroyed or captured
was not due to any generalship of
sherman, but the folly Of the hot-head-
d Hood, who, instead Of falling back
before Sherman, went reelng off into
tennessee like mad cap on the wild
'st OF wild-goose chases.-Jcf. Davis.

rIIe McmpI,is Conterence.

The Vicksburg Commercial Of the
10Th, under this heading, says:
We announced in the Commercial
Saturday evening, on what We regarded
as reliable authority, that there would
be held in Memphis last Monday a
conference of leading republicans,
greenbackers and independents of
Mississippi, with the view of concert
ing measures to combine all the dis
cordant elements opposed to the dem.
ocratic party in this state, and bring
them into harmonious support of a
state ticket to be nominated at some
future day We were not misinformcd
about this conference, for there was
one held on the day named, and we
were not far out of the way in suggest
ing that ex-senator Alcorn was likely
to be the most conspicuous figure in
the new movement for political su
premlcg in this state.
We are not yet n possession Of any
authentic or definite information as to
what was said or done at this Memphis
conference, but no doubt we shall
learn all about it in the near future.
This is followed by extracts from
the LEDGER and Avalanche in regard
to the initiatory meeting, and the fur
ther remark that:
We can say for the information of
the Avalanche, that we learn from a
gentleman who is usually very well
posted, that General Alcorn will ac
cept.
From this, we infer that the Com.
mercial knows whereof it speaks, and
that Barkis is willin'.

A MORNING special from. Nashville
intimates that about eighty members
Of the legislature will attend the in
auguration ceremonies at Washington
on the fourth of March. We doubt
this statement, but if it should prove
correct it will prove that this is about
the lightest-headed, giddy legislature
that has ever assembled at Nashville.
No great number can go off on such a
foolish frolic as this without breaking
up a quorum and requiring another re-
cess. 1t is not likely that they would
return any better fitted for the dis
charge of their duties in the legisla-
ture. They have spent a month
already in doing what could have been
accomplished in a week as well, and
enjoyed big recess. A tripto Wash
ington on free passes or at reduced
rates might be something to the rural
member who had never before been SO
far from home, but it would be a use
less trip 50 far as the interests of Ten
nessee are concelned.

Panama Nems.

NEW YORK, February 18.--The
Evening Post publishes letter from
its Panama correspondent, giving very
interesting and entirely new details
concerning the capture Of Lima and
Callao. 1t seems universally conceded
that at the termination of the battle
near Miraplares, five or six miles from
Lima, the Peruvians held the advan-
tage, and might by one more deter.
mined and prompt effort have made
themselves masters of the situation.
Encouraging and congratulatory dis
patches from the front, and bulletins
announcing the Peruvian victory were
put in th9press; fire works prepared,
aud streets of Lima and Callao were
filled by the jubilant and excited
crowds. At this time occurred one
of those unanticipated events which

stantly plunged in profound sleep.
The troops, it is said, had been all day
without food or water At this critical
moment, while their chief was uncon-
sciOus, his superior officers disbanded
their forces, and assuring them that
the Chilian hordes would soon be
swarming through Lima and Callao
robbing, pillaging and devastating;
advised them to anticipate the Chilians
and help themselves to whatever they
wanted. Later on stragglers from the
front began to arrive in Lima and
Calao,. and their doleful reports we're
circulated as if by magic. Bulletins
and fireworks were suppressed and

morning OF the 10th armed soldiers
continued to pour into Lima and
Callao, but the day passed in profound
quiet and gloom without any indica-
ton of war to follow, except the form
ing of many groups of soldiers, ne
groes and Indians in the suburbs Of
the cities and the suspicious quietness
with which they seemed TO discuss the
recent events. About ten o'clock at
night the pillage began. Doors were
smashed in, and soon the streets were
swarmed with men, women and chill
dren laden with huge bundles Of every
class Of objects that could be i'm
agined. The attack was opened on
the stores Of the Chinese, and these
furnished huge quantities Of FIRE

Parental Cruelty.

New York lleraId.l
The society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children has done so much
for the abused offspring Of beggars aud
drunkards that many people would be
glad to see it find way of interfering
between child and parent in some
families that profess to be respectable.
The wretched son of the drunkard is
beaten cruelty because anger has tenn
porarily dethroned both reason and
affection in the father; but rum is not
the only incentive to anger, and this
passion, when excited, can make the
alleged gentleman just as brutal as the
drunken boor. Not one punishment
in ten is inflicted except when the
parent is angry; not one angry parent
in a thousand fails for the time being
to be an utterly unreasoning brute
and contemplate coward. Inherited
vices. like other old wrongs, die hard
and no vice has an older lineage than
that wbiah prompts parents to expend
their superhuous savagery on erring
children. The yOungmust be trained
but those who are disciplined as the
brutes are have their parents to thank
if they are brutes when they have
reached the age that should find them
men and women.

A New Code.

He has met some Of our ablest attor-

off the winner. Josiah called at our
Office some two months ago and had
several hundred slips printed with the
following words thereon: All of the
foregoing section is repealed" " Itnow
comes to light what he wanted with
these slips. Whenever he found him
sell overmatched and the law as laid
down in Campbell's code against him
he would draw from his pocket of
the aforesaid slips-ready gummed for
the purpose-and paste it at the foot
of the section that was unfayorable to
him, and then to the amazement of his
opponent, ask judgment for his client.
OF course the court was with him, for
Judge Campbell, the codi6er, had le-
galized the pasting OF the slips. He
is the code, he is the law, he is the
