CITY iNTELLJGENCE.

County Court. The case of VIM. S. Tim
norman, Of this city, against John l.. Muslin,
of Georgia, for damages sustained from an al
legged Illegal seizure of certain property, was
commenced yesterday. In this case it appears
that Mr.. Hinkle, as agent for zimmerman,
had taken out upwards Of $1,000 worth Of rea-
dy-made clothing to Macon, GA, where he To-
Gated himself and did business in association
with Josiah Horton, (usng his name merely
in consequence of his extensive acquaintance
in that region:) that Horton died. in the latter
part Of 1899, when Hinkla, with a view to
further his business went off into the country,
and disposed OF large quantities of goods, for
which he took the notes of several purchasers;
that, upon his return, he found Muslin had ad-
ministercd upon the estate of Horton, and re-
qured of him u surrender of all the goods and
notes; that iInkle refused to do so, knowing
that Horton had no legal interest in the store;
and, that thereupon he was placed in the hands
of the sheriff, and remained in his custody,
until released upon full surrender of goods
and notes to Muslin. The matter here rested,
until at a subsequent period Muslin, in passing
through this State, OH his way to Washington,
to see after mail contract was arrested
Suit was accordingly entered; the case tried
before this court, and q verdict rendered in
favor of the complainant, for $4,000 damages.
An appeal was made to the Court of Appeals,
and the decision reversed upon some informali-
ty or technicality. The case has consequently
been brought back to this court for new trial.
Counsel for the prosecution, Thomas Yates
Walsh and |. N. Steele, Esq's; for the defence,
VIM. Schley, ESQ.
Scarcity Of Wood, In consequence of the Sc
verify of the weather for few days past, inter-
rupting free navigation, the wharves have be-
come pretty clear of wood, and prices have run
up about so cents on the cord. This increase
of price must operate seriously upon large
class of the community who purchase in small
quantities, and is peculiarly hard upon the poor.
We have nothing TO say in reference to this
mode Of stalking advantage Of! the times, as it
is in accordance with what seems TO be set
tied principle in trade, that "prices are regulat-
ed by the supply and demand;'' but we hope,
by change of weather, the supply will sooh be
SO abundant as to meet all demands at tar
more reduced price.
Stealing. Alfred Gipn colored, was ar
rested yesterday by High Constable Shut and
officer McComas, charged with stealing purse
containing about sixty-fye dollars in gold,
from the Office of Z. Collins Lee, Esq. He was
taken before J. Hanson Belt, Esq, who COM
united him 10 Jail to take his trial at the pre-
sent term of the Criminal Court About $40
of the money was recovered.

amount appropriations, by the city Councils,

StrErr OF THE Pubic FUNDS. From Il
statement made by the Treasurer of the United
States, and published in the National lntelll-
rcncer of Thursday last, it appears, that up
yards of 100000 Of the public money have
nccn placed in the hands Of individuals for safe
seeping. Now it is probable that this money
: as safe as it would be in the vaults, but the
principle introduced by the Secretary OF the
Treasury is INDUSTRIOUS; and if continued here
after will doubtless cause heavy losses to the
pablc. 1t enables the Secretary Of the Trea-
su,y to employ the public funds in private
Speculations, or to lend them 10 private midi
y;duals whom he may be disposed to favor. 1t
pin glve rise 20 fraud and corruption. 1t GER
.aiuly never was contemplated that the public
money shonld be thus disposed of nor do we
remember single instance before the present
cases, where the pockets Of individuals were
constituted the treasury of the country. Con-
gress should see 10 this matter in time, aud re-
luire the money to be taken from private Gus
,ody. If this loose mode of conducting the
iuaGcia! concerns of the country be sanctioned
OF tolerated, the public treasure may be en-
piuyed for the most corr.pt purposes, and be
inally lost to the country. There should be
r!gid system of accountability, and no latitude
for abuses be allowed. We have seen in the
case of the late Clerk to the House, (McNu Ill
", some of the consequences of trusting to
The honesty ard discretion Of individuals, and
his example should act as i warning to Con-
yIess not to leave the funds of the nation in
The hands, and at the disposal, of any man.
The money deposited with, or lent to, ndivid-
u,js, is stated to be Sin the treasury, and sub
pct to dratt;' but it might happen, that the
trait would not be duly honored when present.
rj-tor, however responsible these individual
repositories may have been, at the time of re-
2c,ving the deposits, it does not follow that they
and that the money may not be lost. The prac-
nee of making such deposits is irregular and
Improper, and should be discontinued. The
ptesent administration is about to 90 out of
power-and we do hope that the President will
SEE that the public money which has been
placed in the hands of private persons for safe
NHeping by the Secretary of the Treasury, be
at ssce Withdrawal and deposited in some pub
BIC institution.

pear to be rules enough in the House to pre-
vent the progress of business, but none 10 check
disorderly conduct or to restrain the use of low
tnd vulgar language i'll debatc-and the conse
qnence is, that the most disgracetul personal al
tercations occur in the House. No man, who
desires to see the reputation of his country pre-
served, can read the proceedings of the House
an Thursday last without feeling indignant at
the degrading scene which took place between
MIR. Black and Mr.. Giddings. The latter is
too fond of introducing the exciting subject of
Slavery; and should have sense enough to
know, that the course which he pursues may
DO harm, but cannot produce any beneficial eff
feet. But his imprudence does not Justify the
conduct of MIR. Black in applying coarse and
Insulting epthets to Mr. Giddings; and still
less for the assault which he attempted to make
upon his person. But for the interference of
members, there would probably have been a
rough-and- tumble fight in the House-and,
strange TO say, during the whole scene there
eas no call to order from the Chair. If there
he no power conferred on the Speaker TO ell
force order, it is high time to have it granted;
if he already possess it, it is full time that it
should be exercised. The House of Represen-
tatives has become proyerbial for its federation
at disorderly conduct; and there should be an
effort made to retrieve its character We know
that some persons are elected to the House who
are destitute of the essential qualities Of gen.
tlemen, but they should be restrained by the
respectable portion of the House, and compell-
ed 10 observe the rules Of decency and propre-
ty. Unless this be done, the whole body will
participate in the disgrace which should attach

GROUND Rents. We have received print
ed copy of a legal opinion given by Reuerdy
Johnson and John Y. l., .Mc.Nahon, Esors. on
questions relating to the taxation of ground
rents, submitted to them by George M. Gill,
Esq. The substance of their opinion is, that
when leasehold property is taxed at its fee SIM
ple value, the ground rent upon it cannot be
legally taxed-and, that if it could be so taxed,
the tax would have to be paid by the tenant
and not by the landlord, according to the cove
uants contained in the leases commonly used.
This is an important subject, as large amount
,of property in this city is held subject to ground
rent. The opinion is very long, and would oc-
cupy too much room in our paper, otherwise
we would publish it in extenso.
