rERNANDO WOOD AGAM.

Another bar to the criminal extravaganza of the
Common Council has been placed by the injunction
of Judge Barnard restraining the City Government
from completing the lease of Fernando Woods rooms
in Nassau-s The facts set forth in Mr.. Christopher
Pullmans affidavit are not unknown to the public,
and though more enormous swindes have been
exposed, we doubt if even tho records OF the
worst municipality in the world present any
official robbery more audaeious than this From 1868
TO 1866 Mr. Wood had been fortunate enough to rent
certain rooms TO the Of the City for the large sum
Of So 200 per annum, Of which those hired for the
Corporation Counsel cost $4,000. These were never
occupied, and, with the sanction Of the City, other
rooms were leased during the three years for that
purpose, for which an annual payment Of 81 900
was made. In other words $4,000 yearly,
or $4,000 for the term, have been paid by
the people for accommodations, and $4,000
for empty rooms. Both the buildings are, We are
informed, taxed upon a valuation of but $55, 900.
This is bad enough. But the Common Council last
December excelled ITSELF in renewing the lease of
Mr.. Woods rooms for a period of ten years, and
agreeing to pay for them at tho yearly rate of Sl5-
900. This includes $4,000 for the rooms for the Cor
poraton Counsel, which he has not used for three
years and as Mr.. Pullman says, will never use, as
they are VIGOROUSLY unfit for the purpose for which
they are hired.
1t is almost useless to comment upon this transact
ton yet we again refer to it evidence of the utter
indifference Of the Common Council to tho ordi-
nary decences of fraud. Private bargaining at least
respectful to taxpayers, and has the aectaton of
blush on its cheek but this is braren. The City Gov
eminent openly hires rooms it does not want and
cannot use in order to give Mr.. Wood the handsome
income Of $50 900 in the next 10 years. exclusive Of
an additional exorbitant rent of 100000 for rooms in
the same building. We need not examine the other
features Of tue case This is enough. The nsOlence
Of Office can scarcely 60 further.
Judge Barnard, with these facts before him, could
not have honestly refused the njunconi yet We are
glad TO find him so prompt in the discharge of his
duty The bargain is stopped, at least for the present
But what has Mr. O'Gormsn to sayi What part has

The validity ofmtary trials in loyal States, argued
before the Supreme Court in the case Of l.. p Milf
gam who was condemned to death by Military Com
mission in Indiana, has been judicially denied. The
members of the Court agreed that Mlligan should be
discharged from military custody, and remanded TO
the Civil Court and that Commissions in such cases
have no right to try. From this last point ChiefJus
tice Chase and Associate-Judges Wayne, Miller and

The Secretary of the Treasury, in reply to diree-
ton Of the Senate has furnished letter from the
Controller of the Currency, TO the effect that the
National Banks comply strictly with the law requiring
them to make quarterly exhibits Of their condition.
The Controller suggests that the managers of the
Clearing Houses should be required to report weekly
ell banks that are deficient in their reserve Of lawful
money, and that the returns should be made monthly
instead of quarterly, We believe that the change
would be benefit.
