Maysyille Bonds.

1t will be interesting t. such of our citl-

Maysville, in kentucky, for the interest
upon which no provision has been made for
a year OF two past, to learn that the Court
of Appeals of Kentucky, on Tuesday Of last
week, affirmed the decision rendered by
Judge Phister at the April term of the Ma
son Circuit Court for 1853, i'll the case Of
Graham & Knox W. Alex. Maddox and 9TH
ers, composing the Board of COuncilmen for
the city Of Maysyille.
This was all application upon the part OF
the plaintiffs, holding certain bonds of the
city of Maysvlle, issued in part payment OF
its subscription 10 the capital stock OF the
Maysville and Lexington Railroad Company,
for mandamus to compel the City Council
to levy and collect tax to pay the interest
due aud in arrear on said bonds; and the
case having been deliberately argued on the
Goth day of April, 1855, Judge Phister reI-
dered decision in favor of the plaintiffs.
The defendants Appealed, aud the decision
of the Circuit Court is sustained. The Court
IF Appeals has awarded mandamus, as
asked for by the plaintiffs, and it's decision
is emphatic on all the points involved.

A Case Quoted.

Francis ALBERT a native Of the Depart
ment de Var in the South of France, left there
during the drawing Of the CONSUMPTION in
1889. and was actually drawn as conscript
and was therefore al echape de la conscrip-
ton. He arrived at New Orleans, made the
usual application for citizenship, and was
duly naturalzed in lS45. He was success
full in business in Louisiana. and in July,
1852, after an absence OF nearly fourteen
years. he returned to visit his family in his
native village, and under the vigiant police
in France he WAS arrested in "a hours after
his return He Immediately wrote to Mr..
Hodge as the nearest American Consul; the
latter, that he might the better attend to the
case, Immediately requested that MIR. ALI
bert might be brought to Marseilles, which
request was promptly acceded by the Gen
eral-in- Chief commanding the military divis-
ion. He was there brought before the Iri-
6unat de Guerre as an InsonmiS, and CON
demnsd Mr. ALBERT was willing to pay
1000 francs for "A substitute but Mr.. Hodge
would not allow him even to make the offer,
but obtained rehearing of his case, appear
ed in person before the Tribunal de Guerre,
aud pleaded the case; and after two trials and
uctentlUn Ol SiA mOntns, He was dCkHoWl-
edged all American citizen, and orders came
from the Minister of War at Paris. directing
his release. Mr.. Hodge gave him passport
which was wise by the police, and with which
he remained some weeks with his family, ira
yelled through France, and embarked at Ha-
yre on his return to the United States.
The correspondence on file in the Depart
ment of State gives the full details of the
case, and Mr. Everett, the Secretary of State
under Mr.. Fillmore, on the Sd Of March,
1853, 1.-THE last day he WAS in othce) wrote a
complimentary letter to Mr. Hodge in which
he says
The Department was gratifed to learn
that NJ. ALBERT, whose arrest and imprison-
ment as an Msoumis although a naturalized
citizen of the United States, as mentioned in
your communication, has been released
This is undoubtedly due to the firm and de
cided stand maintained throughout the long
controversy in your official correspondence
with the authorities on the subject. 1t Is
much to be desired that this case may be
considered as precedent, as you intimate,
and that hereafter naturalized citizens OF the
United States may visit France without dan
ger of arrest for military service. In this
event, hurtful source of irritation and un-
friendly feeling will be avoided. "-Ns~ York
