TIE OLLIVIER MINISTRY.

Napoleon's remark that when traveller has
gone long journey he is not weakened oy
laying aside part of his burden, might help
the people of France to an excellent reason
for advising the imperial invalid to get
rid of the whole Of it. But the utterance
is, Notwithstanding, the most significant
of the usual oracular commonplaces reported
rs by cable on imperial occasions. The assur-
ances of devotion from the Corps Legislatt !;
the good understanding between the Corps and
the Emperor, never more necessary than now |;
the augmentation of prerOgative without les
sening authority make up the substance OF
the Emperor's latest reply to legislative ad
dress.
This reply is prefaced by NJ. OIliyier's re-
vised Ministry. The long-exDected Cabinet has
undergone a series of metamorphoses before
being finally formed in the imperial MIND; Dut
now we know enough of it to suspect that 1t Is
not liberal enough to satisfy the most
liberal, or sufficiently conservative 10 please
the most conservative. One of the French
papers characterizes it as the reaction which
aided the imperial usurpation come to power
again another murmurs that 1t is too much
influenced by the Theirs people. In other
probably complains that Count Daru, the Mar
quis Talhouet, and Messrs. Segris and Bufiet
belong to the Theirs section of Liberals,
while Messrs. Olivier, Chevaudier de
yaldrome, and Richard, who are
classed as Liberal -Imperialists, do not aid the
case of those who desire heavier prepon-
derance of names on the side of the empire
The Democratic Frenchman apparently hopes
little from this infusion into the Government
of two classes OF unparalleled Liberals
and it is probable that the Olivier Cab
met is more conservative than the
more sanguine of his fellow liberals could have
expected Only the ministers of war, marine
and the imperial household remain unchanged
by the reconstruction, so that the Emperor has
made his Cabinet, upon the whole, quite
as new as could have been ex'
pected of him. 1t is decidedly q
more liberal ministry than that which was re-
ported to US the other day, and its positive
majority of liberal names certainly verifes as
far as it goes the Emperor's charge to con-
struct a homogeneous ministry faithfully rep
resenting the majority of his legislature.

FLSK CONE TO GR[EE.

We print elsewhere the opinion and decis-
ion of the Hon. Z. Darwin Smith, Justice of
our Supreme Court, on the famous question as
to who are the duly-elected and legal Directors
and officers of the Albany and Susquehanna
Railroad Company. The trial. it will
be remembered, was held recently at
Rochester and attracted wide and
lively public interest. Justice Smith reviews
the evidence, and the law applicable to the case,
at much length, and comes to the conclusion
that "the Fish set of Directors were not duly
elected, and that the Ramsey set were duly
elected" The evidence cited by the Judge
shows that the Fisk Gould party, in their eager
ness to gobble up the Company, entered into a
series of tricks and subterfuges, judicial and
otherwise, which would have done no discredit
to Tammany primary. 1t appears that
prev ous to this suit no less than twenty-five
Others had been commenced by different par
ties interested in this controversy. These are
noticed only so far as they relate to or affect
the result of the election of Directors on the
9TH of September last. The first was against
David Groesbeck, Samuel Sloan, o. ID. Ashley,
and others, who held three thousand shares
of the stock of the Company in Ques-
ton. which the complainant alleged had
been illegally issued, and was, therefore,
void. An injunction was prayed for. and
granted by Judge Barnard, restraining the
holders of this stock from disposing of it or Of
voting upon it at the stockholders meeting
A receiver was also appointed for the stock in
question, who demanded and received the
larger portion Of it and, Notwithstanding the
allegation that it was illegally issued, the re-
ceiver coolly goes to Albany and votes upon this
identical stock in favor of the Fisk ticket
Judge Smith says that the allegation, which was
incomplete in its statements and facts upon its
face justified the injunction, but he could see no
sufficient reason for appointing Receiver. 1t
subsequently appeared upon the trial ut Roches-
ter that the stock was legally issued and was
the property 1.-THE holders
The next fraudulent proceeding was one in
which an injunction was issued restraining
Mr. Ramsey from acting as President of the
Company, which was followed by suit in
which an injunction was issued, and James
Fisk. jr, and Charles Courier, upon an
ex parte application. were appointed Re-
coivers. Robert ii. Pruyn was at this time
acting by order Of tho Supreme Court
