MINOR MERIWETHER
When we say that we approve of the appointment of Minor Meriwether as receiver for the city of Memphis, we express the general sentiment in this community. He stands without reproach as a citizen. He is a man of incorruptible purpose, of unswerving honesty, and has the courage to do the right in the face of danger. He has always been a prompt taxpayer, and evinced the liveliest interest in the welfare of Memphis. He will do justice to the creditor and the taxpayer, and execute the law. He will receive the cordial support of the people, and so far as we have heard expression, there is a universal intention on the part of the taxpayer to pay taxes to him. We congratulate Governor Marks and the people upon Minor Meriwether's appointment. Although the Ledger cannot solve all the difficulties of the legal problem before us, yet we are told by some of our best lawyers that the State receiver has the advantage, and is sure to win if any conflict of authority should arise.
