In issue between that gentleman and Mr. w endell
relative to the contract by which MIR. w. trans
ferred the Union newspaper to Mr.. b. To satisfy
that curiosity we have TO say, that 1t is now under
stood that Mr.. Bowman has concluded a contract
with Mr. John c. Rives, by which he obtains tue
use OF the latters office in which to execute the
work, and that Mr.. Wendell, regarding that act
as breach Of the UHion-sale contract has sued
out an attachment against the Constitution news
paper office. claiming from Gen. Bowman thirty
thousand dollars, the price he offered for it BY
the friends Of Senator Douglas previous to the
transfer, and other damages. As the matter seems
to stand we presume that nothing short OF a formal
trial at law will end the muss; and that, termi-
nate as it may, the trial will evolve large amount
of political scandal injurious in every aspect to
the reputation Of the Democratic party, even
though involving ITO one but actual parties to the
suit.

MR.. DOUGLASS SPEEcH.-An hour before the

densely crowded, principally by the ladies, in
anticipation Of the speech which for week past
the newspapers have said Mr. Douglas to-day
intended 10 deliver. On the floor ii was currently
reported that it was to be an extreme anti John
Brown s-raid speech, in which as slight allusion
as possible would be made to the question in
issue between the distinguished orator and the
Democratic party Of the Senate-his affirmation of
the right of Territorial Legislatures to prohibit or
abolish slavery in United States Territories IT, as
was expected at noon. the speech OF the honorable
Senator proves to be intensely Southern in its tone

Lawrence presiding) the following points
were decided, viz:

necessary upon general common law prin
cplrs that all should be present, and
then The act Of the majority is the act 0.

III. Unler the statute which declares
that "a mojority' of the three township
trustees authorized by law. shall be a
quorum TO do business at Ill meetings oil
the trustees, a majority may act as vol
at special as at re1ulor. ~
Ill. But in order TO render the acts Of
tuo trustees valid at specicl meeting. all
must have reasonable notice of it. The
law fixes the time and place Of regular
meetings and notice is, therefore, no. ne
cessary at such meetiegs as to business
authorized at them.
w. Neither two nor all of the town
ship trustees acting separotely. can by
thus concurring in an act. do anything
officially valid. They can only act off, :,

petition which AYERS that two of the town
thip trustees as such approved it. without
