Decision I'm = halfway Case.

CHICAGO, July S.-Judge Davis, of
the Supreme Court, gave decision to-
day in the case of Wadsworth ngainst
the Northwestern Railway, refusing an
the company to give bond protest in
unexchHnged Galena stock in case the.
court should hereafter decide that hold
ers thereof were entitled TO receive in
money the value of their stock mt times
of consolidation, instead of taking
by the articles of consolidation. ~ sg
The decision is considered by the Of
ficers of the road as Il settlement of the
question Of eensol idatton, and reduces
the suit to litigation for the difference
in value between outstanding Galena
stock and the present value of North
western stock to be issiled in exchange
therefor, in accordance with terms OF
consolidation, which difference shall
not exceed $50, 600.

NEW YORK, July S.-H. S. Footc, late
Of the rebel Congress, now in Montreal,
publishes n card i'll the Herald concern
ing the barbnrous treatment of Union
prisoners, in which he says: ",rouch.
ing the Congressional report referred
to, have this to say: a month or two
ulteriOr TO the dnte of suid report, /
learned from government officer of
respectability that prisoners of war
then confined in and about Richmond,
were suffering severely for want of pro-
visions. He told me further, that "a
systematic scheme was on foot for sub
jecting these unfortunate men to Stnl-
Walton; that Commissary General Nor
throp, most wicked and heartless;
wretch, had addressed II communion
ton to Mr., Seldom, the Secretary of
War, proposing to withhold meat alto
gether from the military prisoners then
in custody, and to give them nothing
but bread and vegetables, and that Mr.,
Seldom had endorsed the document. ~
He then moved tor committee of i'll
vestigntiOn in the rebel House of Rep
-resentatives, but this was at first refused.
and he was acrimOniOuSly censured nv
several members for introducing the
subject into the House ut NIL. He per-
severed, however, obtained the commit
tee and succeeded in finding the dOcu-
ment above referred to, signed by
NorthrOp and endorsed by Seldom, the
latter adding that the time had come
for retaliation upon the prisoners of war
of the United States.
