WE do not consider that because
a counselor happens to be Demo
crat that fact should cause a Repub-
lican Judge to discriminate against
his client. But that seems to be the
untenable position Of Congressman
Owens who urgently objected to the
consideration in the House Monday
of the bill for the payment to the
freedman in the Cherokee nation Of
their part of the $500, 900 appropria-
ton by Congress in 1883, their
share of which the Cherokee legislas
ture has unjustly with held from
them. J. Milton Turner the attorney
for these people, is different from
J Milton Turner the Democratic poi
tician; besides (sins of the lawyer
should not be visited upon the client.

The Freedman's Bank Bill.

Since the passage by the Senate
of the bill to reimburse depositors of
the Freedmen's Bank caused by the
allure Of the company the comptroli-
er Of the currency, as ex oiEcio com
missioner of said trust, has issued the
following circular in reply to remon-
strances received from white deposi-
tors against that provision in the
bill which limits the relief to deposi-
tors Of African descent:
The bill does not in any way alter,
impair, or affect the rights of any
depositor IN the Freedmen's Saving
and Trust Company to his full share
Of the proceeds ofthe assets Of that in
stitution. The corporation is in liqui-
dation. and that liquidation will pro-
ceed, and whatever is ultimately re
allied will be divided among all de-
p ositors who have proved their claim
in accordance with existing laws.
The effect of the bill passed by the
Senate will be, if it becomes a law
simply to make good to those for
whose benefit exclusively the institu
tion WIS originally designed the differ
ence between their share of the asset,
of tie corporal on and the amount Of
deposits. This is a pure gratuity from
Congress to these people, and the dis
tinction in their favor rests upon the
the unquestionable fact that none but
person, Of African descent had any
right to make use of the Freedmen's 5
Saving and Trust Company in any
manner or to acquire by any means
any interest whatever in its assets
Neither you nor any other white de-
positors have any claim upon the
bounty Of Congress. You were bound
to know the limitations of the charter
Of the corporation with which you
dealt, and therefore, to know that its
officers could not lawfully take your
deposit. 1t is not now intended in any
way to infict upon white depositors
any loss, any injury, or even any cen
sure You have up to this..time been
treated precisely like those depositors
who could alone lawfully make use of
the institution, and | know Of no
reason why they should moi. continue
to be treated in the same way, so far
as the assets of the corpotation are
concerned.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the CINCINNATI Enquirer
A railroad official, speaking about fast
time on railroads, has this to say in re
gard to Jay Gould's tour through the
South few weeks ago: When the Jay
Gould special left Memphis, Superinten-
dent Pegram, of the East Tennessee. Vir-
ginia & Georgia Railway, gave instrucs
tions to run through to Chattanooga, on
a fifty.fv mile per. hour schedule, which
was accomplished without an apparent
effort. On arriving at Chattanooga the
management was complimented by the
party, and the question was asked
whether other portions of the system was
asked wheher other portions OF the sys-
tenn was in condition to admit of an
equal rate of speed. The question re-
suited in Mr.. Gould enjoying the dis
tinction of riding on the fastest train that
ever ran on the American continent. On
eaving Chattanooga, orders were given
to make the run to Knoxville-112 miles
miles-on sixty mile per hour sched
ule or better, if possible. 1t appeared
to be understood. though not expressed,
that the run to Knoxville should beat all
previous records. and when the wires
flashed back the news that the 1l2 niles
had been made in 107 minutes, you can
imagine the enthusiasm that greeted the
announcement.
