Yesterday tbe case of mantiainin, styled
State or Tennesaee, ex rel George M.
Oreely va. T. C. Bleckley, John Brown et
a, came up for a hearing before Judge
Anderson, of tbe Law court. Messrs.
Smith, Randolph and Leo mppesred for
Mr. Oreely; Meaani. Beerher, Sale, and
County Attorney Wilson appeared for tbe
Countv Court and Mr. John Brown I who
was duly elected by the County Court, on
Friday last, to nil tbe alleged vacancy
caused by the resignation of Urely, as
already detailed in tbe AprVALi. The
petition ia for an alternative mandamus
upon the members of tbe County Court
compelling them to accept tbe bond
ottered by Mr. Gr'ely, to administer to
him the oath of otbee, and to induct him
into tbe office of Register, or show cause
why they should not do so. On final
hearing the relator prays that a peremp
tory mandamus be issued, etc The peti
tion seta forth the fact that Mr. Oreely re
signed bis office of Register of Shieibv
countv on tbe 31th of March, 1870, by
li intrhi rebiguation With the Clerk of the
County Court; that on the 2Clh of March
there was a general election held in Shel
by county ; that he (Greely) was a candi
date for the office of Register ot bhelby
connty on said day, and received a ma
jority of the votes cast for said office, and
that he received, a certiiicaie of election
from S. Shock, Commissioner, etc , and
that the County Court refused to accept
his bonds and induct bim into office, etc.
The following tiat of Judge Anderson
Appears indorsed on the petition:
To tbe Clerk of the Uw Court ol M-ni-
pMa:
I'pou the relator, George M. Greely,
executing bond, with security tor costs,
you will issue an alternative mandamus
to tbe defendants named in the foregoing
petition, as justices of Shelby county,
comniamiing them to induct said George
M. Greely into tbe office of Register of
Shelby county, or to appear before me iu
court, sitting at the Law Court-room, on
the Tib day of April, 1870, at 11 o'clock
a.m.. and show oauao, if any they have,
why they should not do so.
J. A. ANDKRSOK,
April A, 1S70. Judge, etc
The defendants tiled an answer, deny
ing that there was a vacancy lu the office
on the liblb of March, 1870, bv which tbe
relator could be elected. They charge
fraud in the manner of Mr. Greely's elec
tion: that in April, 1870, sometime after
tbe election, tbe County Court acted upon
the resignation of Mr. Greely, which had
been tUed with the Clerk of the County
Court : received and accepted tie same,
and took proper steps to ui; said vacancy,
as required by law. They charge, further,
that the pretended election of Mr. Greely
was a concocted scheme, en his part, to
perpetuate hiniseii in ctfioe, and was null
and void. They also demur ta ihr bill on
tbe grounds of no equity in tbe aanie, sad
further, that the I,aw Court had ta juris
diction, etc.
The answer of John Brown is also on
file, alleging that he t Brown was elected
by the County Court to till the vacancy
caused by tbe resignation of Mr. Greely
that he has given bond, etc.. and claim
to be the Register of etbelby county. Tbe
answer sets up eleven causes of demurrer
to tfie pclition ol air. dreeiy, ami con
cludes by praying that the petition
mandamus be dismissed.
(The petition and answers are very vol
uminous, going into the details of' the
election with minuteness, and we there
for only present above the main features
of the bill apd answers).
Several wltuasimg ere examined as to
tbe votes cast ibr Mr. Greely, aim the
manner of conducting business in tbe
Register's office since the election by the
Deputy Register.
Tbe' argument was commenced by
Judge H in. M. Smith, counsel of Mr
Greely. His argument was that
THE BUREAU IN MEMPHIS.
Hen. Fersanda Wood Strictures Upon the
Black Institution Sustained
We make room for the following com
munication aa a document every way
sustsining the strictures of Hon. Mr.
Wood, of Naw York, upon tbe Freed
man'a Bureau, the most infamons of all
tbe Radical creation:
tUUtora Appeal: We would not do any
one an injustice, but there are some
things very strange in the management of
tbe concern hereabouts. At thia agency
bounties are paid to from oas to three
colored soldiers per day some days none
and to accomplish this enormous work
the government keeps a Bureau agent
and his two clerks here, pays tbe salaries,
office rents, and what other expense we
know not. After waiting three or four
vests since filing their claims, these poor
soldiers are compelled to make at feast
two, aud often three and four, trips to this
city, even after being notified by their
claim agents that their claims have been
allowed. To those living ISO or 200 miles
distant, the expenses and loaa of time
from tbe farm almost equal the amount
of Ijouuty they receive.
Last week we met a negro, a private of
the Forty-second united states colored
Infantry, who asked us how he could get
bis tsmnly, stating that his money was at
tbe Bureau agency here; that the agent
wax satisfied wilhont any witnesses, two
weeks ago, when be signed the vouchers
to get tbe money from Washington to this
agency, tnat ne was tne proper claimant;
but that be could not now find witnesses
who could satisfy said agent of his
identity; that none of his company
who have their discharge papers
with them can be found abont
here, and tbat the agent refused to pay on
am- other kind of proof ; that be bad
taken with him tbe most credible wit
nesses, both white and colored, but could
not get bis money. This, I believe, is tbe
regular order of doing business there.
ae ol these clerks administers oatba to
affidavits, etc, and if they were net
strictly honest, it would be a very easy
matter in case of tbe death of a soldier,
after hia money has come, to fix up tbe
proof so as to show that the money bad
been paid, and no one outside of that
agency would be tbe wiser for It. We do
not propose here to impeach the honesty
of these men, but would suggest tbat ft
is wrong lor any government to tbrow
around its most honest and virtuous eiti
xens any such temptations to specula
tion and'peculation. We have for more
than a year wondered why it was
that neither attorneys nor any one else
but tbe poor uneducated negro were al
lowed to learn tbe status of soldiers'
claims In other words, why were wean
awered, "We do business with none but
tbe claimants themselves," and we have
wondered why tbe letters these poor fel
lows would write to the Bureau at Wash
ington, aaking tbe -i ; ot tbe delay,
were not answered. We had almost sus
pected that the clerks at Washington,
nght under General Howard's nose, and
tbe Bureau agents over tbe country had
formed a "ring" or "corner" tor "bounty
jumping" ana for lending money, which
I am credibly informed has been' recently
offered by a Bureau agent at the modest
rate of fifty per cent, per annum. But
now it seems some parttea in Washington
charge that the pious old General Is a pu
cillahimous cuss," that he is such a care
ful guardian of the poor negroes' rights
that be will not intrust them with their
own money. Let Congress look Into thai
Bureau's affairs and they will rind a sweet
co-nbination of bAVy .;..! y(llainy, guard
iaiiBli ;r and fraud. Whv nut anoitsh the
for concern u J pay these bounties through
the t anks, so tust tney may ne paid in
thia century? t- I. J.

County Court acted illegally and contrary
to statutory law in electing air. Brown to
tbe office of Register, citing several
sections of tbe code with reference to
their action in the premises. He con
tended that there was a vacancy in tbe
office of Register on the &tu of March,
caused by the filing of resignation by Mr.
lireely, and that the Commissioner of
Registration acted according to law when
he noticed tbe electors thst an election
would be liclj for offices in Shelby county,
and that Mr. Greely, rooeiving the high
est number of votes oast for tbat office,
was duly elected and entitled to be in
ducted into office by the County Court.
Provisions of the code and authorities
were cited in support of these positions.

evening, having addressed the court for
pearly three hours.

gument. County Attorney Wilson com
menced the argument lor tbs aluelby
County Court. Mr. Wilson reviewed the
facts In tbe case at length, with reference
to the resigultion of Mr. Greely, on the
j i h of March, and bis alleged election on
the MU t.. tbe office of Register. He
commented on the fact that th ugh tu-j
resignation of Mr. Greely wag addressed
to tne Chairman of the County Court, and
said Chairman T. C. Bleckley, was lit Ids
office on said day ; yet this resignation re
mained iu the office of Johu Eoague,
County Conrt Clerk, without the knowl
edge of the Chairman, to whom it was
addressed. The vacancy was not known
to tbe County Court or by the electors of
Shelby county, except by bis (Greely's)
friends, who voted for bim iGreely(.
Mr. Wilson denied that lues facts aud
siren Distances made a vacancy in tbe
office of Register, and read sections of the
Code with reference to vacancies and tbe
manner of tilling tuein.
At this point Judge AueWvon informed
counsel that an adjournment of the argu
ment would be had to this morning at
9 o'clock, at which time Mr. Wilson
will conclude his argument, and will be
followed by the other counsel retained m

Tbe decision of the court, when ren
dered, will be given In full, as it will no
doubt embrace aud decide many Impor

CHARLES GOODWIN,

The swell BMg on steadily at this point
and already the water is running over tbe

The St. Joseph will get away to-day for
Cairo and St. Louis. She la a popular
passenger packet. Captain Corbett, a
well known snd careful master, has mm
i! md, and the office Is in charge ot Mr.
' rle, who is also a com o tent officer.
Cant. T. L. Taylor, who commanded the
'ialado lately lost on Bouf river, Louisi
ana, now has the Rose Franks in that
trad.-.
The Mollie Cratz, Capt. Andy Dearth,
leaves to-day tor Osceola and all way
landings. Gua DeArche is her chief clerk.
Dentzed, of the Picayune, says the
head of Lyons of the Republican, is er
tlrely too light for the serious bnsinoes
of editing a first class floating river
journal, aud adds that the use of hia
name in that connection was entirely un
authorized. The Monitor, a small boat lying tt
Reed's Landing, at the foot of lake Pepio,
was sunk by the ice a day or two ago.
The New Orleans Picayune says: "We
yesterday noticed that the favorite steam
er Magenta had changed owners. Captain
Stutt Neal having purchased tbe eoin
manding interest, anil will, on her arrival
at Memphis, take command of her. and
will for the balance of the season run her
either to Louisville or St. Loots, wher
ever he thinks it profitable for the boat.
On the opening of the next season tl
Belle Lee, Captain Hicks, and the Ma
genta, Captain Neal, will mn in connec
tion between' this port and Memphis,
leaving each place every alternate
Wednesday. We heartily wish Capt. Neal
success, as he haa endeared himself 1 1
the SoutherBepple by his able manage
ment 01 the Pijili.l low-pressure Rich
mond while under his command, and now
.1 . 1 I V. L . 1 . . .
'" oouuw anu assumed tne com
mand of tbe Magenta, we would be
pleased to see that bis efforts may be sus
tained by our traveling and shipping pu i--lie.
Capt. Neal has been to a great amount
of trouble and expense Heretofore, in
building and bringing out some of the
finest boats on tbe river, and we are sure
that our public generally' have appre
ciated him, and will, in the future,
sustain hint in his present afforta.
The Argus, lately running to Sulphur
Rock, above Batesviile, has been obliged
to suspend trips above the last nsnied
place on account of low water.
Emigration to the upper White river
country has been active throughout the
season, and the i-ounlry is rapidly, tillinir
up with new settlers.
Buainess on the upper White river is
very active. Fverv steamer rhin,.
Jacksonport carries heavy freights to mer
chants there and ibr consignments to
points on the streams above. Merchants
in that vicinity have done an extensive
and pnlitable business this season
The country ia prosperous and flour
ishing, though currency is scarce,
mostly having been "forwarded to
settle purchase bills and indebtedness
to city merchants.
Swarms ol uruminera trom St. Louis
and Louisville have overrun that country
during the wiuter. Not more than twoor
three Memphis agents have been in that
region tor uiouttis past
r'rentration for the planlitia season are
etaceedingly active, and farmers are mak
ing strenuous exertions to largely in
crease their crops this season. Consider
able cotton U still held back hy planters
In hope of reaching better prices.
The new and xuajlenr steamer Semin
ole baa been run aig Lrom Jacksonport
to New Orleansfjauring the season, and
having the trade t,i herself, has done a
good business. Last week she ascended
to Pocahontas, 150 miles above Jackson
port, on Black river. Tbe Batesvil a

point. ' The Fairy iueeu makes regular
tri-weekly trips between Jacksonport and
Pocahontas, on Black river. Shots doing
well and is popular with the people.
The St. Louis Republican of Snutiay
says: Shipments south have uarrowed
down considerably, uu rates, though
firm, sr ;atiaor low for the season. In the

himself from the proffered invitation by

eyed him for a second, and with the ut
most nonchalance placed his muddy hoot

chair ami he woe Id pay h(m qve cents."
The cerk determined to keep his word
and proceeded to pifk tip fte darky's

last night to a better Monday evening
h use than has blessed the eyea of tbe
managers for several weeks past, remind
ing one of the pslmy days of Joe Jeffer

" Dei icatMi round," was nothing to speak
of, altMugh the audienne found fre
quent occasion to ouipliment Mr.

Sangfroid," was most admirable. Mr.
McManus will not fail to make his mark
in our midst. To compliment Miss Dun

would be superfluous. The feature of the
evening were tbe great character sketches
of Mr. Horace Llngard, who personated

Widow," "Dutch Onion Vender," "As
Through the Park I Go," "Par Keel-

Next oame his "picture-frame sketches,"
so-called, representing to the very life
"Millionsire," "Ladv KUr," "iielan
oboly Man," "Indignant Mother-in-Law,"
"Jolly Man," etc. All of these were loudly

would drown out the whole country.
What is to prevent that rise coming before

to do at any moment, no Dowe'r save that
