arguments heard before Judge Peckham this
morning in the matter of the contesting re-
ceivers ror the Susquehannah Railroad and
the Judge has decided that Hon. p III. Pruyn

Fisk, Jr: is not. This gives the Ramsey in
terest full charge Of the road, and they are now
in charge of it.

Peckham had decided that Mr.. Prnyn was ie-
gally appointed receiver OF the Albany & Sus-
qnehannah railroad was incorrect The cues

cause August 18th, why he should not be re-
strained from taking any further steps in act
ing or attempting to act as receiver. In the

er, and the Ramsey interest have possession of

TINE ANNEXATION AGITATION IN NOVA SCOTIA.
HALIFAX, Aug. 9.-There has been recently
an interesting dscussiong among the party in
the Province favorable to annexation to the
United States, asito the best policy to be adopt
ed to obtain the desired end. The party CON
sists of two divisions one of which advocates
immediate annexation, and the other approves
Of an interior movement'fo independence, as
certain to lead to the desired end No decis-
i've policy has yet been adopted The out and
out original annexationists complain bitterly
of the policy of independence as certain to
lead to no desirable result. They are deter
mined to stick to the policyof complete sever
ance from Great Britain. The temporary pol
icy of some Of the repeal leaders does not meet
with the approval Of many Of their political
friends. sSai .xsvtE tLisss - Ts.sA a.nzs Us
