owned a reel estate in Connecticut, which he sold =.
was appointed by the Chancellor as guardian for the
children, with power to invest the proceeds in lands in
this State, and subsequently empowered to re Sell and
purchase lands in Michigan. In one of the operation.
purchasing part of the trust estates, this n ote was g;ver
and because the property was part ofthe trust estate, the
signature was so subscribed. For reasons given. the
Court thought this simply a personal debt of tis hsn%'
rupt, and not one imposed upon him by law or INQUIRE
in his character a. guardian or trustee. It must be made
to appear that the debt not paid and owing by him, apper-
tanned to the trust estate, and that at or after its creation
he had means at command from the estate to satisfy it
The Court was Of opinion that this objection was not
supported. There was also objection that he had not
given a full inventory Of his estate. This was based on
the suppositisn that he had an individual interest in pro-
perty purchased by him in Michigan, whereas it is held
by him in trust for his children.
alfred Locktcoed.-The objections are based on his not
setting forth his property. He swears to having done
30 TO the best Of his knowledge and belief, and nothing is
shown to the contrary, and the objection is not allow ed.
There Is also objection to his not being sufficiently ex-
Phcit IN showing the nature of his assignment, and q de-
scripsion ofhis assets. The Court thought this ohjec-
tion was properly taken, and il ives sustained.
Charles II Lapvoy.-O hjsc tions had been made that he
omitted to set forth his creditors-also that he had made
improper transfer of his property. There are other OBJ
Jections which are not applicable TO this stage of The pro-
ceedinss, put may ~interpose a legal bar to discharge
After remark, the objections were overruled.

PAPERS AND PLors.-Ever since Glentworth's
debut in pipelayingliterature and philosophy, the re
| has been a most consuming mania among certain
| small politicians to get up plots and produce explo.
| sions, by means of threatening to publish private pa.
pers and confidential letters. Glentworth first at.
tempted to blow up Mr.. Curtis, the present Collec.
tor. by his literary brochure, ushered into the world
under the print. andi' patronage of Bryant, the
green-grass poet. That literary production having
fallen short of its purpose, we now lad that the Hon.
Charles F. Mitchell, Forger and X M. G. has also
turned round upon his heel, and is endeavoring to
burst a bomb shell upon Mr.. Wetmore, and create
an excitement that may help to have him removed.
Both these events are very interesting movements
started by interesting men-and patronised by very,
very Interesting man-midwives. Glentworth and
Mitchell are both a pair of the sweetest Of sweet
saints. The first, according to his own confession,
| perpetrated fraud at the elections in 1898 and
the latter has been proved in the Court of. Sessions
to be a forger and a hnancier OF the most approved
kind. Both were taken up and patronised by indi.
viduals who possess seme curious "reminiscences in
the history of their lives. G~lentworth's plot burst
upon his own head, only ending in the sale off few
hundred copies TO refund the outlay Of capital fur
nished by Boggs Il Bryant, printers and poets to
Tammany. Mitchel's plot to blow up the Navy
Agent will probably burst about these days, causing
every body to enquire "what naughty boys cracker
is that gone off 7"
If Mitcheli's papers are published they will hardly
be read but many may inquire who are the agent;
of that virtuous forger in the business? To this ques
ton we shall reply one of these days, giving a whole
history of the intrigue-,he persons engaged in it
and. the purposes entertained in It's concoction. Il
will be a droll expose, and it will come, too.

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION 1T seems that the Re
volu,ionary party held their election in Rhode Island
on Monday, but no fight took place, as only one
side-one party-voted the other side, the govern

there is likely TO be no collision until both parties
elected take their seats 10 May al d then the great
fight will come off there about the same time that
our great fight comes off here.

pears that the invasion Of Texas, on the part of the
Mexicans, was oaly small ineursiOn.
General Arista was at Monterrey, four hundred

General Rafael vasquez, commander of the ex
petition to Bexar, writes from the banks Of the Rio
Grande, under date March ll,h, and gives an &C
count OF his retreat, which was effected without
hindrance or molestation on the part OF the Texans.
He says that on his arrival near the Great River, so
exhausted were the horses OF his men, that had they
been attacked, not more than forty OF them would
have been able to join in the charge.
A letter from Pedro de Ampudia relates that he
had captured Goliad with only l20 men.
The Monterrey editor says, these operations are
only some little preludes to what will follow.
