FOR CLERK OF CRIMINAL COURT.
-At an early hour yesterday morning the
Cbancory Courtroom was crowded by cit
izens anxious to learn the result of the
reat injunction case. Tbe effort of the
uamles of Oeinocracy to disturb the re
eul verdict of the poopio jroved to be a
.'rand fiaaet. The able and learned opin
ion oi Uuai.'jeuor .vortrr u. aiineiideil i -
1 w, decided every point
'ie petitioner for the i
trope the " iujunetionist
-ell as those who stood
lini. Mr. Donovan was
:ien than he to perform
: ir which thev rca-u-Jrd
ool, and thrust hi ou into the foreground
f the picture, while they remained hid
i 'hind the scenes. We give tho opinion
f ihe Chancellor in full.
posovas vs. JOHNSON.
John Donovan, a citizen of Tennessee,
i!es thla bill to restrain John Johnson
Tom assuming and exercising the func-
iom. of Mayor of the city of Memphis,
itider the new charter oi tlie city, and al-
-es tbat l Lie .tu Johnson is ineligible
lo the i (lice by reason of bis not being a
itizen ot Ihe United States and the State
f Tenneaseo. Upon this bill was issued
ii injunction, according to its prayer.
Johnson tilea hi answer to said bill.
nd now coitus betore the Court and asks
'hat tbe injunction be dissolved. The
(Uestion is. shall the injunction be dis-
lived and the defendant be permitted to
.ssume and exerei-e tbe fnn-tions of
Mayor of ihe city of Jte:.iphi? No ijties
iionis made aa to the jurisdiction of tbe
bancery Court in exercising its restrain
ng power in this ease. Conceding ihe
iiiriadiciion, shall the power be exer
isod? There is no controversy either as to the
egality of the election or as to the
oer of vptes polled for Johnson; and it is
oneeded tbtst he is tbe regularly elected
Mayor of the city, provided be Is eligible
i the otllce.
But it is contended and so charged in
.he Ki.i thu! .' :!.- .!, i' :. ! !i!s
lection and at the pressnt time, is a
ubjeet of Great Britaiu, and not a citizen
f the United States and state of Ten
nessee.
The bill charges substantially those
acta, and addresses to the defendant live
listinct interrogatories. First, a to when
nd where he was born; second, when and
it what age he came to America, etc. :
hird. whether his fathr was of a native
ir of foreign birth, whether he came to
his country and was uai nrui. zed. when
nd where, etc., and what evidence he
defendant) hd of the fact, ana calls upon j
".iiu lo produce the evidence; fourth, :
rhether he idefendunt) was ever natura-
lized, etc.; fifth, whether or not he ide- i
fendanti ever claimed U be a subject of
Jreat Rritain, when and where, ec
The defendant denies gcucraliy the al
legations of the bill as to his ineligibility I
ior the odice of Mayor, and that he is a j
snbject of Great Britain, aad proceeds to j
answer in detail the interrogatories pro
pounded by complainants. Ho stales his I
age at tbe lime of his lather's iuiruigra- j
lion to the United States, wliere he land
ed, and w here he has resided since his re
moval lo this country; states in response i
to third interrogatory that his father was ;
a foreigner, and that fce was nsturaliz -d
under the act of Congress of lKt2. etc.
j I have been thus particular in giving
; the allegations of the bill with the imer
j rogations, and the answer of the defend- 1
I ant, that we may s e wheih-r the answer i
j is responsive to ihe bill, and whether it '
: denias these allegations. If the answer j
j is not responsive to the biii or confesses
ana avoids, it does not present such a case
! as will permit the court to dissolve an iu
' junction.
I have examined the bill and answer
with great care, and think that the answer
; is responsive to the bill, and that the alle-
ir:ionsoi tue otil have been denied so
lar as the iuest,on of citizenship is in
volved, growing out of the naturalization
of defendant's rather.

i Thomas Johnson, the father of the do- i
feudant, is shown to have lieen natural- I
ir.ed under the act of Congress of 1802.
r This certificate is objected to unon several
grounds. First, that it is not properly
authenticated: seror.liy, that It show's
upon its facethat ouly one citizen testified
as to Johnson's residetice of live years in
the United Stales previous lo his natural
ization. For the purpose of the dissolution of
this injunction. I think the tilmeof this
cortiuYsie was not necessary, but It was
proper Id be nlod, as it was called for by
the dinplainaiir, as he demanded the ex
hibition of whatever evidence defendant
had of bis father's MllllsiliaHuti. I do
Lot think the stcond ohjecii..n well taken.
The act of Congress requires ihat the term
of reeidenoe, etc., shall he proven by citi
zens. It does not specify tie number.but
the word is in the plural. Citizens" in
the act is used as distinguished from for
eigners, and tho act requires that these
facts shall be proven by citizens and not
by foreigners; besides, the Court tbat per
formed this deed was a Court of compe
tent jurisdiction, and all the .resumptions
am iu its favor as to the validity of its
acts.
There can be no doubt that up to the
2mh of May. lttia, the defendant (John
son) was a citizen of the United States
and Stale of Tennessee; that having etni
zrateri to this country while a minor with
his lather, aud his father having beea nat
uralized, by tba act of Congress of lbui',
he waa invested with all Ihe rights of cit
izenship. The further question arises.
Has he divested himself of those ritih.s?
1 ue bill charges that some lime inlN63.
defendent claimed the protection of the
British Government, aud by tbat means
'orleited all rights as a citiaen he
heretofore have acquired.
The defendant, in answer to this allega
tion, sets forth ihe act that he did. and
exhibits the evidence of the same. This !
answer and Ihe exhibit is sjiecinoally
called for by the fifth interrogatory of
complainant's bill, and is itself respon- i
sive to the bill. Bv tbat answer it is j
shown that during the pending of tho late I
war. defeinlaut went before a Commis
sioner of the United States and made oath
in substance as to tho date he left Ireland,
'tie uate or nis birth, and the dale he
, landed in the 1 nited Stales, and tbat he
had i ever declared his intentions fo be
come a citizen of the United States, and
i had not toresworn his a'legianco to Great
j Britain, never voted at anv general or
! State election in the United Mates, nor
. done anything to render him liable as a
citizen thereof. This is the mi!. stance of
said affidavit. Tbe defendant has given
at length his reasons for making this affi
davit in bis answer, w hich are not neces
sary to be mentioned in this opinion.

of the case make it unimportant as to
what the motives of tbedefendaut might
have been.

J'rovided, That in every instance where
tiicuartu or parties or ihe attorney or at
torneys, interested in said publication
shall have tbe right to designate the ne ws
napers in which the said publication ahall
be made."
We copy above so much of the legal ad
vertising law aa the public is interested
In. We do this for the sole purpeso of
putting the oicrra, litigants and attorneys
upon their guard in relation to the mat
ter, and lo guard them against being mis

ftr he pleases.
The Opi:ra presented at the Now Mem
phis last night was Gounod's "Faust."
It was put upon tho stage in a style that
eclipsed till lormer representations here,
and in every respect was a grand perform
ance. The artists engaged were Frederi
ci. Dziulia, Bimmer, Formes, Weinlieh,
Weigand and Madaiite Berger. To say
that they one and all sustained their rep
utations, so intimately associated as thev
are in the minds of the Memphis public
'vith'I'aust, 'would be to say I lie least thai
could be said of them. But we think
we can say more. They surpassed all
their previous interpretations of charac
ters as ditlicult as Ihe whole range of
opera can atl'ord. Frederici's Margurettc
was as faithful a portraiture as was ever
offered this public. She sang superbly.
In line voice i-hu eclipsed herself and car
ried her audience captive from the rirt to
tho last note of her part. In Ibe garden
scene, in the third act.shu was particularly
noticeable beyond anything she has ever
offered us as a vocalist. Ilimmer nobly
supported her. As Fdiut he has no su
perior. His make-up was to the life, and
his acting as spirited and artistic as his
vocalization was beautiful and effective.
Weinlieh was, as usual, a very Mephis
tophiles indeed. His costume, gait, man
ner aud singing were all that could be
desired. Ho impressed the audience most
favorably and divided with Fretleriei,
Uiinmer and Dziuba tbe applause of the
evening. The latter was, as sh j always
Is.admirable, and was deservedly encored
for her delightful rendition of a solo in
the opening part of the third ae.. She is
a favorite with tho musical public of Mem-
ptus, anu uas won au ueart-s oy ner
sprightlinesa, her unaffected natural
ness and artist-like rendition of character.
As tHebel, she was last ii.: . unusually
attractive. Madam Beyer deserves par
ticular mention for her performance
of the character nf Mil CM Formos, as
I'.'i'.-.e'o... . made quite an impression, and
increased the esteem in which be is held
by the opera-goers of our city. Weigand
is worthy more than a passing notice. He
was very good as Wagner. The chorus
was especially effective and worthy of all
praise. Thoroughly drilled, it "added
much to the generat'effect. The orches
tra, under Van Gehl, was as it has been
since the first night, equal to every de
mand from the overture to the last s"rdn.
"Faust" was admirably performed, and
never to a moroi fashionable or apprecia
tive audience. Every seat iu tho par-
quette aud dress circle was uiiQd.the latter
being especially radiant with the beauty
of Memphis. To-night we hope to see as
handsome a house. Tho bill is Mozart's
" Magic Flute." which wo are promised
will lie given by an extraordinary cast,
including the three prima donnas. This
of itself should fill tho hbuse, but when
to it we add tbat tho orchestral and scenic
preparations are upon, a grand scale, wo
think there can be little room for doubt
or question. To insure the opera next
ate! succeeding seasons we must patro
nizo this splendid combination troupe of
Grau's-cortainly the best that has ever
played in Memphis. So far, the houses
have paid; during the remaining eights of
the week they should be made to yield at
least a lair margin ot profit. We cannot
close without suggesting at the instance of
many mu"ical people, that it is not good
taste to con verse during the performance
to the annoyance of those of tho audience
who appreciate good music, and who at
tend iroiu their love of opera: and we
lioTthal a habit so offensive and so vio
lative of good breeding will hereafter lie
carefully eschewed in bur handsome
theater.
Broom's Opera Uocse was crowded to
repletion last night, and every act, from
the rising of the curtain to the going
down thereof, was vociferously applaud
ed. Miss Iona Lang, specially, was the
recipient of an encore for nearly every
one of the beautiful ballads which she
sang so sweetly. The bill for to-night is
entirely new, nnd embraces the entire
strength of tbe mammoth company.
The P.vnLort Music Hall,-under the
careful and judicious rule of Manager
Thompson, ii still the resort of all true
l o ra of sport. The new company take
immensely with tho patrons of ihe house,
and are deservedly becoming great favo
rites, Tbe programme fcr this evening is
fresh and rejdete with new acts, soflgs.
