Sr. JomS had not been appraised Tho law re-
quired that the bond must be given within 20
days after the passage of the law. Tho time
was up on Friday last. On Saturday the in

"JUsr As WE ENrEorED. The dnstarlly at
tempt Of Judge TuLLRa To decapitate Commis-
sOncrs ST. JouN aud RUssELL has met with the
most signal defeat, and is looked upon bv all
honest, upright persons Of that place MS low
contemplate trick. TULLER tried hard, we are
told, to convince Recorder Many and Auditor
NgwroN that there was vacancy in these of
ices but, according 10 the law, which, very
singularly, fuils IL make any penalty IN case
the Commissioners should refuse t0 give bail,
these officials "couldnt see it," Yet with all
his meanness, TuldER would have boen defeat
ed even " this had not been the case; for
Messrs. MENTION and MHRRY would not have
consented Ia tho appointment or any other men
than ST. JoHN aud RUssELL, who had been
elected by the people. Fur this they have our
most profound RESPECTS, and fully strengthens
the faith wo have heretofore placed in these
gentlemen aud we know the people will honor
