OLD POSrOFsICE LOT.
Judge Hammond Refuses TO appoint n
Receiver for II.

The United States is the owner of the old
postofice lot, on the corner OF Third and
Jefferson streets, bought before the war for
the purpose of cree ing a post flee. 1t was
rented to Wickersham for term of years,
with permission to him to remove the build
ings he had erected on it at the end of the
lease. Wickersham failing to pay the rent,
the United States filed a bill in the Circuit
Court of the United States to appoint a re-
ceiver and collect the rents. A receiver was
appointed, who managed the property and
distributed the rents according to the orders
of the court until, by a consent decree, the
property was turned over to the United States
and placed in the hands of the collector of
customs, under the regulations of the treas
ury department. The United States agreed
to apply the rents in a particular way, and
if the property was not sold, to return it TO
Wickersham upon such terms as to rent as
might be agreed upon. The collector Of Gus
toms and the district attorney continued to
treat the collector as the receiver of the
court, and to file his accounts in
court, the money, however, being
at Washington, and not into court.
The defendant becoming dissatisfied with
the management of the collector, clsiming a
return OF the property under decree, moved
for the appointment of rec eiver and to take
the accounts of the collector and to see how
much was due The defendant under proper
management of the property. The Court
held that the property being surrendered as
a fact TO the United States, the Circuit Court
no longer had any jurisdiction over it or the
United States and that the defendants
remedy was in the Court of Claims, at Wash
ington.
The moral of this story is, if you have any
property involved in a controversy with the
United States, be careful to keep it in your
Al. : J
under no circumstances let the United States
get hold Of it.

HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS.

and Selma ROsd-LOcai Notes.

From an Appeal Correspondent
HOLLY SPRINGS, February 24.-The pres
ent legislature Is unusually busy, and will
doubtless place upon the statute-book more
laws directly affecting the interests OF this
city and county than any OF its predecessors
for a number of years. Among the most i'm
portant of these is the new apportionment
bill According to the basis adopted, Mar
shall county, though retaining her senator,
will lose a representative in the lower House.
The new senatorial district comprises the
counties of Marshall, Benton, Tippah and
Union. To this district two senators are
allotted, one OF which shall reside in Mar
shall county. This superintendent gives us
four members of the legislature-one senator
and three representatives..
Messrs. Wolfe, Busby and Forrest, and
our townman, General A. NJ. West, have
been at Jackson in the interest OF the Mem
phis, Selma and Brunswick railroad, and we
are glad to state that their efforts in its be-
half have been successful Oar citizens re-
ioice in the fact that Mr.. Wolfe has been
granted all the legislation asked for, and the
belief is now general that work will begin
upon the proposed highway within ninety
days, and that it will be completes between
this city and Memphis by nex( October.
Senator Hyer Is in charge of the new char
ter of Holly Springs, which We have de-
scribed in q previous letter 1t has passed
the House, and by next week will probably
pass the Senate and become law. Repre-
sentative Brown has introduced bill 10 lu-
corporate a cotton-seed oil mill, TO be erected

which is already assured This gentleman

SALT LAKE SAINTS.
Memorial 20 Congress Adopted by the
Utah Legislature.

SALT LAKE, February 25.-The legislature
to-day adopted memorial to Congress, the
opening paragraph of which is as follows:
ave, your memorialists, the legislative
assembly OF the Territory OF Utah, respect
fully represent that in consequence of baseless
runors and monstrous exaggeI ations, the
people whom we represent have been placed
in jeopardy, and are now threatened with
a deprivation of the right of self govern
ment. Persons whose aim it is to gain con-
troll of this now wealthy and prosperous
Territory, and manipulate its finances, have
succeeded in aroasing the ire of the clergy
and through them the anger of many peo-
pie, against a large majority of the citizens
of the Territory OF Utah, and thus
great pressure has been brought to
bear upon your honorable body, which shows
its effects in the proposed measures contain
ing provisions utterly at variance with the
fundamental principles of republican gov
ernnleni, and which, while ostensibly aimed
at the marriage relations of but small por-
ton of the people, will, if carried into force
and effect, deprive the whole Territory of the
vested rights secured TO it by the organiza
tion'act,and constitution ofjthe United States"
The memorial then denies at great length
everything ever charged against the Nor
mons, and accues the representatives Of the
Federal government in [ tab of every species
OF wrong doing possible to officers and men.

BROWNSVILLE, February Pa regular

the rural folk keep away from town, but some
one hints that the smallpox has scared them
off,
Speaking of smallpox, what's the use of
making big bugaboo ont OF two isolated
cases some distance out of town? People
should get yaccinated, that is all there is
about it; and those too poor to do that should
have 1t done at the cOuuty's expense, as they
have a legal right to do. At the first pox-
tainted Whit of air we cut and run like
startled deer, and often, instead Of stunning
the danger, run right into it. Our excited
imaginations magnify the real state Of affairs
tenfOld; and at last when order is restored
and the supposed plague gone, not a single
new-made grave dots the burial ground. So
