The INJUNCTION CAsEs.-R. j. Nor
gan, City Attorney, has sent communi-
cation to the Board of Mayor and Alder
men informing them "that the Chancel-
lor has decided the cases known as the
City Officers Cases adverse to the city.
That of the City Hospital physician was
made test case. tits held by the Chan
cellor that the old Board, by reason of
default of election upon the charter day,
held their offices until their successors
were elected and qualified, and that they
so holding, had the right to elect the city
officers for the fortieth corporate year.
And secondly, that the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen have not the power under
the charter to remove any officer elected
by them except upon charge, and that
charge sustained by proper evidence.
Holding these views, the Chancellor has
granted a perpetual injunction against
those ofhcers against whom suits we're
brought. / have entered an appeal to
the Supreme Court, which meets in April
next, and have but little doubt of rever-
sing the decree, and think yet that those
officers placed in possession by you will
finally be sustained by the Supreme
Court. The officers against whom suits
were brought are the City Hospital ply
stefan, Street Commissioner, and two
Marketmasters. The case of the Wharf
master is still under advisement by the
Court The cases against ten Of your
Board have been decided in their favor,
and the bills dismissed, and, SO far as the
Board is concerned, it is untrammeled by
litigation"

A Reconstructed Rebel. eh ?

The following paragraph from the Union
Springs, Alabama, Times, demonstrates
how perfectly it is reconstructed, and which,
no doubt, is not an isolated case;
Butler turned thief at the start ;
Turchin was natural born imp of perdi-
ton; Thomas has displayed remarkable
aptitude for giving white peoples churches
to his black betters; Sherman found the
torch more congenial weapon to his un-
knightly nature than the sword; Grant
tried to be a politician, but failed as signally
as when he attempted to defeat Lee fairly !;
and now one of the small fry, short tailed,
shiny tadpole of the latter spawn, the blath-
ering disgrace of an honest father, an ever
lasting libel upon his Irish blood, the scorn
of brave men and the synonym of infamy
Major General Phil III. Sheridan, has ad-
ded his name to this list of outrages on hui
manity."
We commend the above to the attention
Of the Pennsylvania boys in blue" who
served under the gallant leaders therein
named.
