In the Supreme Court to-day, before Judg"
Barnard, the report of VIM. Tweed, receiver,
was read. He stated he had opened the safe
of the Union Pacific Company. In addition
to the books, found as stated to HIM by some
of the cOmpany's officers, it contained bonds,
coupons and other property To the value of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, of which
he was now making an inventory. He suG
gested postpOnement of the case till Mon
day. Tracy, counsel for the company, says
the receivers report is essentially false. The
bonds and coupons mentioned were IN a great
part cancelled, the rest of the bonds were
unissued and valueless. The books of course
had no pecuniary value. The inner safe con-
tanned deposits belonging to some of the Di-
rectors individually, as did the contents of
the box found there. He proposed to put in
an affidavit in contradiction of the re-
ceiver's report. Judge Barnard said he knew

the defendants were in jured by any act of the
receiver, he supposed their remedy was by
action against him on his official bonds. 1
