The st. Louis papefs contain notices OF
ii. termination u the injunc,ion suit, Of
which he telegraph uniformed our readers
some dsys ego. The lnieiiigsneer simply
snakes brist notice. that Judge Treat hav-
ing ecNed sha, the City and County were
not legally stockholders In the road, the in
junction was accordingly dissolved. The
Republican, considers the article more At
length.
Tho case may be thus briefly stated: =
By . special &C, OF the Missouri legislature
the city OF ST. Louis Was authorized TO sub
scribed $500, 900, and st. Louis county
ea50, 900 to the stock Of the o. and II. Road;
some three days after the passage Of this
s,ecisl law, another law was passed con-
solidaiing all the previous acts for the char
ter of the city Of ST. Louis, and in this new
legislative charter section was inserted
which positively prohibited tho city from
subscribing to stock ofthe kind in question;
that prohibition was overlooked. the money
was subscribed and paid, but on account Of
the positive prohibition, the court has deci-
ded that the subscription having been made
unlawfully, ST. Louis is not legal stock
holder, and consequently loses the half a
million OF dollars which it subscribed. The
Republican says
1--WE do not care about making any ex-
tended remarks upon this subject. The
public feel as sensibly as We can the loss
which has been sustained. The securities
Of the city and county Of St. Louis, to the
amount of 500 600, have been srar,psd,
lost irre,rieyabIy By this investment, and
this sum passed at once into the hands OF
Page g. Bacon or their assignees. Not
dollar of il can be saved, and all this be-
cause of legal technicali,y, never thought
OF, or discovered, until the Company want
ed 10 borrow more money from the city,
and TO the use of which the defendants
were driven by the necessity Of the case.
But to the taxpayers, this 10 no, the
worst aspect Of the case. The subserip-
ton OF the city and county was pad in SIX
per cent. bonds. having twenty and twenty
Ave years TO run. For the remainder OF the
time, until they mature, this interest must
be paid by the taxpayers. There is no
alternative. i, must be paid as promptly
and as faithfully as interest on any other
bonds. Al a moderate computation, this
interest will amount to nearly eight hundred
thousand dollars, and this sum is to be paid
with 4 full knowledge that the city and
county of ST. Louis have been dispose ssed
OF all interest in the road in The manner
which We have just stated"
The Republican 10 not informed whether
the city intends taking any Interior meas
ures, BY. says that fact will no doubt be
made known in due time. Meantime, the

ApULrERArIxG FLoUR.-Ve see il sta
ted that in certain mills in Upper Canada,
at least half bushel of plaster OF Paris is
put in every barrel of flour, which is sold
as second quality in Montreal. But the
Canadian miIlers deny this statement, and
assert that this aduiteraton is carried on by
second hand dealers and operators in the
cities, who, as they allege. commit all kinds
offrauds, in re-packing with an inferior and
adulterated article barrels which had been
branded as No. l. II is also asserted that
flour dealers at Oswego use plaster very
freely, and then falsely brand the barrels
with the name of Upper Canada mills, for
warding the spurious article eastward
Between the two, there lie no doubt that the
plaster gets mixed with the -four, as baker
of Chicago recently purchased lot of it
which was SO strongly eypsifeFous that he
could not make bread out of it at all. The
moral of the matter is, that this world is
