10 increase tho bond of tho State Treasurer
from $4,000, as contained in tho .bill, to

vas induced to bolicvc thati it would he crimi.
nal for him to be silent Oh this occasion. He
then opposed the reduction of tho pond on
four grounds First, ho believed it Would in-
jurc the credit Of the State; secoudS because
it was going to be dono in ordor to. place n
man in position (Niles G. Parkcr) ssho had
attempted to give straw bonds, and who, it
was currently reported, had promisN TO uso

he believed that under any ciroumsSncos, il
would injurc the credit Of the Stat5to put a
man of doubtful capacity and hontssy in of.
fec; and, fourth, because lie had ,,sdcr.tuod
that undue Influence had been rHorted to,
by attempting to impose on tho c;sdulity Of
somo Of the members, for tho purpose Of scrv.
ne personal motive.
Ransicr .nd othor colorcd radical, also op.
posed tho reduction on the first gsound cx-
pressed by Whippcr, but disclaimed tntortain-

after considerable debate, tho yeas and nays

THE LYNCH WILL.-Among 9TH
or important business disposed of at
the late term of our Circuit Court,
was the contested Lynch will case,
involving about 100000.
This case, OH account of the large
amount involved and the novelty of
its facts, as well as the many intricate
legal questions arising in its investi-
g.tton, engaged the best talents and
the ablest jurist5 of the GAINESVILLE
Bar. 1t was most eloquently and
ably argued by Hon. G.. A. Henry,
Hon. John f. House, and Gen. j. G..
Hornberger, for the will, and for the
contestants by Gen. w. A. Quarles,
Col. J. E. Bailey, Gen, J. NJ. Quarles,
and Maj. J. r. Rice.
After the charge of his Honor, the
Circuit Judge, the jury retired and
were absent but a short time, when
they returned verdict against the
will. Thus passed this large estate
out of the hands of strangers into the
possession and enjoyment of the i'm
mediate relatives of DR.. John b.
Lynch.
