Tome etal. had been referred by Judge MacArthur, gave his decision, and it isan opinion of considerable interest, affecting the rights of married women. The complainant being the owner of certain valuable property in her own name, acquired as a patrimony, aid her husband being involved in debt, at his so- lieitation executed deeds of trust on her prop- erty to raise money to enable him to Pay. his debts, not receiving a cent for her own benefit, but the whole being used in payment of the Ila. bilities of the husband. The note secured by the deed becoming due the defendant, as trus- tee, was about to sell when she, through Gen. T. T. Crittenden, filed a Dill to enjoin the sal and a temporary restraining order was made. Judge Humphreys, after reciting the facts in iy agt. Sedgewick (U.S. 8. C.

Wallace, 94 U.S. S. , Reports, in which it is clearly and distinctly announced that the statutory estate does not amalgamate or destroy or impair the equitable one. He refers to the court of Alabama having overruled the decisions of a former court, but both courts arrived at the conclusion of protec- uon. He quotes sections 727-89 and 30 of the statut he Married Woman's act), and con- Unues: “These provisions of the statute cast the legal estate in the separate property directly upon the wife. But are there not also lega! dis- abilities attaching to a married woman, even in regard to her separate estate. Does not the Statute itself ind'cate its jealousy in throwing its guards to the wife, against the influences which might be exercised by the husband in the destruction or oppropriation to his own ure of her property. In Sykes vs. Chadwick (1s Wallace, Supreme Court United States), the distinction is properly adhered to between the right of dower and the separate estate. The one does not interfere with the other under the statutes of Congress. The statute of Alabama, reviewed in Lippincott vs. Mitchell, in the light of judicial contruction of the state, does adjust the Separate estate and dower so as to arrive through the statute at the equity. We must keep in view constantly the right of estate in dower, if the wife survives the husband; the right of’ tenancy by courtesy, if the husband survives the wife and a child of the lage has been born and heard tocry, which i lence of life, and the separate estate of a married woman ¢ither equitable or statutory.

TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES, } WASHINGTON, NOV. 6, 1878. Gentlemen:—I am in receipt of your letter of he 30th ultimo in response to mine of the 24th ultimo, in regard to the amounts which, by law, sould have been appropriated to the sinking fund for each of the past four years. Referring | to my letter and the law cited therein, it is ap- | parent that a certain proportion of the tax col- lected upon each one hundred dollars of prop- erty was for those years, annually devoted the sinking fund, that it was misdemeanor, | under pen: a of disinissal from office, to divert | from its legitimate object any ‘money levied or | collected as taxes from the people of the Dis- trict, or even to make any change whatever by transfer from one fund to another. By law, the funds so devoted were to be delivered to tue commissioners of the sinking fund, to be by them applied to the reduction of the debt of the District. Then was set apart for the fiscal year, 1876, eleven cents of the tax collected on each one hundred dollars; for i577, two cents; for i878, four cents and seven mills. ‘To my first inquiry, “ By what method of cal- culation the above distributions were made,” you reply by referring to the several reports of the Commissioners during those years. I have had the reports you mention carefully exam- ined, and find no allusion to the method by which the nee of taxes was set apart, and would obliged if you would name the place in any of those reports where the infor- mation may be found. To my second inquiry, “What amount was collected during each of the last four fiscal years,” you reply “about $150,009;” which, be- side being very vague, is astonishingly smati, when it is considered that there were probably $5,966,262.37 Of taxes collected during those years, according to the reports of the Commi Sioners, viz:—For 1875, $2,293,523.17; for 13 77, $1,256,768.08; for 1578, esti- mated, $1,480,000, the tax year not being closed ‘To my third inquiry, “What disposition was made of the amounts so collected,” you do not allege that any portion thereof was paid over to the commissioners of the sinking fund, as the Jaw directs, but aver that the District Commis- sioners “actually paid on account of the sinking fund nearly four times more than their appor- tionment called for, besides paying $1,236,639.07 of general indebtedness.” 1 find myself, by law, made the successor of the commissioners of the sinking fund of the District of Columbia, and in reply to my in- tuiries, honestly made for information and for the best interests of the District, Iam, by order of your honorable body, inyited to look for that information where it 1s not found to exist; am told, when I ask for the amount realized each year, pursuant to provisions repeated in many laws of the Unite ‘ates, and of the District, and after public adverilsemet of the yearly ap- portionment, that the amount devoted to the Sinking fund for the four years was “about $150,000,” and am then treated to a recital of financial transactions of the past, not definitely warranted by law, by which it is made to appear that although the $150,000 was not legaliy d Yoted to its specific object, yet something over $1,900,000 of debt, bonded’ and floating, wiped out about that time. J tind that for sixty ata versy on the subject. y Years sinking rs there pt fund for the District; that for fort have been commissioners that the bonded debt is $22,000,000, and yet there to-(i iL shadow of a sinking fund, althouza the: y provisions of existing law in regard to nding bonded debt” ot the District requiring annual contributions to the sinking Tund. ‘This state of things fs not busine: Permit me to sa y that, under District > stipitlatio of June that they will appropriate from the reasury fifty per cent. of the estimated general expenses of the District including in- terest on the bonded debt, and the amounts legaily due the sinking fund, the District has a fairer opportunity before it than any munici- pality ever had, with wise management of its affairs, to reduce the weight of taxation, the bonded debt, the rate of interest thereon ahd to 1 publie lighten the burds of the people. believe the country at large, well as the people of the District, are looking to those to whom these Interests are committed under the laws bring about the above r . 0 Very respect- reasurer U.S. rict of Colin RMA AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK— News for Depoxitors.—The statement. on Which the recelver of the German-Amerte. tional Bank (Nir, B.U.

This tree, called “Old Moses,” from a mountain of that name, near which it grew, was discovered by Prof. Knowles in i874, on the Tule river, Tulare county, 75 miles from Visalia. It was 240 feet in height, and must at one time have been considerably higher, from the fact that the top had been broken off atsome long past period. The tree, when broken off, was 12 feet in diameter, and had two pro- Jecting limbs, Ineasuring respectively 9 and 10 feet inctrcumference. ‘The tree was 111 feet at the base, and the section now on exhibition measures hearly 100. It took nine men four days to chop down the tree, and the exhibited sec- Uon Was 1é!en from the site of its growth ata cost of $5,000, 64 horses being required for its transportation. The age of this gigantic tree is estimated, according to the method of calcula- Ung the age of trees, at 4,824 years. Its circum- ference exceeds by four feet that of the largest tree in the Mariposa Grove.
