From Mr. Briggs letter to his constituents, de-

passage in relation to the sub-Treasury scheme
"You know the origin, progress and fate Of the
Sub-treasury bill. The finances and currency Of
the country rere in prosperous and sound condi-
ton The government introduced series OF expe-
rments. Those experiments have ended in a gene
raj arrangement Of the business of the country and
in deprecated and ruined currency Out Of that
ruin and disorder the Subtreasury project came
forth. IL Jnst struggled through the Senate where
there was an administration majority Of nearly two

altered and mutilaed form, that Of It's earliest
and best friends dsowned II. II has been three times
dejeated IN ne House; and the popular voice, so far
as u has been expressed is against IL. The friends
Of the measure call il an independent Treasury Bill
With slight modification, this title might be well
enough. The public revenue Is now brought into
The Treasury under the operation of permanent
the President by vote of two-thirds Of both Houses
Of Congress. Now pass this law which will put all
the public money when is collected into his pos

SOUTHWARK

The friends Of Judge Sutherland held meeting in
the second ward of Southwark, on Tuesday evening -
The number was such as to be eminently gratifying
and the pleasure enhanced BY seeing among the
most ardent Of the Judges friends many who had felt it
party duty two years siuce, to vote for his opponent
While the business of the meeting being conducted
with spirit and harmony, there rushed into the room
large number OF Loco Focos, who determined to
prevent any proposed action. The disturbance conse-
quent upon this riotous proceeding led to blows
and or two Of the friends Of Mr. Sutherland were
seriously wounded. AT length, reused by the insulting
and injurious Of their opponents, the Sutherland
turned upon them, aogged them, turned them into
the street. and went on with their business The sp
nit manifested by the Loco Focos this occasion, is
proof Of the terror which the nomination of Judge Su-
herand has brought into their ranks and the violence
exhibited by them has confirmed many wayering ct
zens and made them staunch friends Of the good
cause.

FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL FAcrs IN FRANCE.
The following financial and statistical details we
translated from LIE Commerce. averyvslsable French
paper, whose title indicates the nature Of its contents
We always to it with sagerness on the arrival Of
each packet: and are sure find something to recon-
pense our search.
FRENCH ARMY-In the Chamber of Deputies, on
the 10th February, Gen. Bugeaud called the atsen-
ton of the French government to the urgent neces-
sty that existed for Strengthening the army. The
army he said was too feeble, and the men that COM
posed it were the smallest Of any European force
The infantry, which was the heart of the army, by
strange anomaly, was composed Of the weakestmen;
and never could be considered perfect until special
arms, calculated to make up their deficiency in bodily
strength, wereinvented and adopted A levy Of $4,000
men from the class Of 1887 was ordered
SOMETHING NEW IN New YoRK--The Paris pa
pers contains account of dreadful accident that
happened on the 2oth January last at the Lyrical
Theatre in New York. The Weekly Grammatical
Magazine, published in New York, according to our
French contemporary relates affecting catastrophe
occasoned by the falling of very large chandelier
on the audience; the chandelier appears was gar

RAILROAD FROM HAvRE TO PARIS AND STRsBoURG.
The Havre papers are discussing the immense ad-
vantages that would accrue to commerce, and the
benefit ts individuals by the contemplated rail
road from that town to Rouen and from thence to be
cont nued to Paris, and Strasbourg, connecting it
with Germany, and the Rhine. We find therein
calculation of the cost of ton of merchandise from
Antwerp to Strasbourg, by the various routes new
open, and shelving the advantage in every respect
by way of rail road through Havre over every other
channel.
In is DAYS by the canal a ton would cost 1880
Is by Cologne, 69.56
so hours by Havre rail- read 6S.S6
1t is proved ncontestlby that unless rail road is
constructed from Rouen, through Paris to Stras-
bourg the greater part of the northern merchandise
of France itself will take the route by Antwerp
through Belgium, and Germany and thus make Ant
werp the pert of Paris.
COMPENSATION OF FRENCH ISDusTny.-There is
much discomfort among the workmen in the great
naval arsenal of Toulon, where pay has been gra-
dually reduced from francs 10 day, to franc
and half. Upwards of 900 men had refused to
work. and labor was at a stand still in the Arsenal.
CoMMERcIAL lsTsRcoURsE OF FRANCE AND ENG
LASp.-The French Government is about to impose
additional duties the importation Of English cloths,
linens, and thread lace. The Englsh have latterly
been efectng small reductions imports from

COMMON PLEAs-March 29th.-Before Judge vi.
sh9fier. Yates & Wyman versus Bradford and Bal
lard.
The facts OF this case lie in nut shell, although il
occupied the entire day. Yates d Wyman are tai
ors ny trade In the summer of 1886. they went to
Esrope and bought seven or eight crates OF crockery
from Frodsom and Booth in England, amounting
in value TO 500 pounds sterling. The goods were
bought on credit, and sent 10 Boston, where Yates
& Wyman intended to open a mmission warehouse
for the sale of crockery, &c.
By the time the crockery reached the custom house
at Boston, Yates Il wyman had become embarrassed
in their circumstances. L prevent these goods be-
ing attached by their creditors they made an assign
mcnt OF them over 10 Bradford and Ballard of New
York.
On the real nature of this assignment, the whole
case rested.
Yates & wyman maintained that they made the
assignment which was signed by Yates emily as
mere nominal matter, and for no other purpose than
that Of having II protected from the attachment Of
their creditors in this country and with view ulti-
maely to pay the proceeds TO Mr. Booth, 40 the
actual creditor on the creckery
Bradford 4 Ballard however, went on and sold
the crockery and retained the proceeds IN order 10
abide the issue in this suit fhey alss commended
that the assignment was ultimately converted into
valid instrument for the purpose Of securing the mo-
ney for the account o. credit Of Frodsom q Booth
A Mr.. Carldg testified that he was the agent Of
Yates Co, and the transfer OF the property was ef
fecied through him 10 the defendants
II was also further tatcd that Bradford 4 Ballard
were creditors OF Frodson n Booth, who had failed
in their debt and that therefore ihey wished 70 keep
this msney 70 set of ss a partial balance OF their
