Thc canal Contrnct. Dccldcd.


This afternoon Judge Bates delivered thC
opinion Of tho Court in regard to three O
tho canal contracts, to wit: Those of Dovlc
& Miller, Mcdbery & Co, and Forrer, Burr
& co. These three presented precisely the
same points at issue, and il was agreed by
the counsel for the parties, and by the All.
torney General that they should stand OF
fall together.
The points were MS to whether the Board
of Public Works had discretionary power
IN letting the contracts in regard to what
constituted "the lowest responsible bidder
and also whether the statute had been com
piled with in the bonds of The parties tax
ing tho contracts, which were only to twice
the amount of the contract price of one
year, it being contended that the statute
meant bonds for double the amount of the
contract price for the five years.
We have only time to state that the
Court held that the Board of Public Works
has discretionary power to decide who were
and who were not the lowest responsible
bidders; that the word responsible in this
connection was not limited TO nero pecuni-
'ry responsibility, but comprehended also
mental and practical responsibility.
The Court also held that although the
,tatIlte would bear the construction, that
nc bonds should be twice the amount of
no entire contract price; still it would bear
ilso the other construction put upon it by
he Board of Public Works, and as they
lad put that construction upon it, the State
vas bound by it. t III
Tho other cases are continued until next

The INDIANs.-We must not neglect to
say something about our dusky neighbors
occasionally. We notice that many Of them
arc beginning to dress more after the style
of civilized life than heretofore. Ono
came to town last week, DOTTED his blankets
and lcggings and purchased suit of store
clothes and a fur cap. He could not get
the hang of them rightly, but straddled
abut like three-year-old sonny with his
first pair Of breeches on.
We also learn that some Of tho warriors
are becoming moro polite towards the
squaws They used to ride and make the
women walk. But now, when man wants
TO sell pony, he will put his wife upon its
back, and mount horse and como to town.
When he starts home again, he will place
his squaw on the remaining horse, tie the
extra saddle behind her, aud walk by her
side. But as soon as he gets out of sight
of town, he kindly makes her dismount and
lug the saddle homo on her back, while he
rides = White Cloud Kansas Chief

A Now Counterfeit.

Look out for counterfeit Tens on tho Blk
OF Commerce, Cleveland Exceedingly
well done, Quite freely circulated this
morning.
These counterfeits can be known by the
fact that Penker Handy is signed as Prosi-
dent, whereas on the 9th of Oct, 1856
the date of the bill shown us-he was not
an officer Of said bank. One of the bills
was passed to the conductor on the Toledo
train, and it is evident there is a rush made
here and hercabouts, at this time to get these
bills off.-Herald 18Th.
