DisrMcr Cousr. On the opening Of the
court this morning. the Jury returned its
verdict in the case Of the Davenport Nation
a Bank rs !. p. Coates and Thomas Scott.
This scit vas brougt to decide whether
certain property held by the Bank should
be held liable for the payment Of a note Of
$1,000, endorsed BY Mr.. Scott. or for ths
.yment Of note not secured. The Ju,y
decided that the property should be appl, d
oward paying the note endorsed BY Mr..
Scott, and rendered judgment for the sum
Of 81, ,6S3-balance still due the Bank.
The case Of A. J. Preston cs. I. P. Coates
and Thomas Scott was then taken up This
was replevin suit for the recovery Of Ger
tain property transferred to pla intiif in a
warehouse receipt. Verdict Was rendered
that the plaintiff was entitled to the prop
srty.
A case was then brought before the
court, wherein John W. Hasson brings
suit for $4,000 damages against the NJ l.
Y. Railroad, on account Of injuries received
BY railway accident near Wilton juno
ton, This case occupied the remainder Of
the day.
The following persons received their
sentences ~ follows, during the forenoon
session: Fogarty, the Burtis House thief,
was sentenced 10 eighteen months con6ne
ment in the Peniten.iary. Jackson, the
negro who stole . span Of horses from Mr..
Walter Kelley, . few weeks ago. Vas SEN
fenced to two Yeas confinement. Bartell,
Who stole $500 from Jack Trannum Of the
Sixteen h Iowa Infantry. last summer, on
account Of his youth aud other mitigating
circumstances, was sentenced to the peti
tenliary for two years only.
We notice the appointment of Col. Vim.
E. Small - collector in the Second Con
gressional District Of Iowa. Colonel Small
Is conservative republican, and . fru
supporter Of President johnson. Il il
worthy Of note that President johnson
made This appointment in defiance Of the
wishes Of Hiram Price, radical member Of
Congress from the same district. The let
ter had another candidate for the position,
stay at home abolitionist, but he failed I,
secure bis appointm over tho veteran
and conservative Small.
TIE o.nens connected with this selection
are good. They evince an increased deter
ninaticn on the part Of President johnson
TO withhold bis patronage from the ram
pant rsdical disunion element that now do
y bis wishes and impede reconstruc,ion.-
The sooner he brings the whole influence of
government patronage to bear On this dis
union opposition, tho sooner will he put IN
end 10 it, hostility and save the county,
Chicago Hmes.
W. rejoice With the TmSs in this ap-
pointment-it being most excellent Sc
lection. Gel. Small will .eoa enter upon
the duties Of his office.
