The Journal Of yesterday contained
the communication of Messrs. ROB
INsoN, SHACKELFoRD. and PARRETT,
to the Board Of Commissioners, ask
ing the Board 10 resciad former or
der. dismissiug the suit against DIR.
BIscu aud Col. l.RUEINLANDER brought
by Major ROBINSON, in the name Of
the County, and also, the reply of Mr..
BIscH, protesting against such action
on their part Mr. Bison declined to
avail himself Of the order in the first
place, and says he would make no OBJ
jecsion now, to the Attorneys who
volunteered their services in the first
instance, continuing he prosecution
to the bitter end He proposes to
ger, if possible, verdict on the ques-
ton from a jury Of tax payers and
citizens of the County. Mr.. BIsoH
has always been ready to defend his
official action in any shape in which
his prosecutors saw proper to attack
him.
1t must be confessed, also, that the
success which has hitherto attended
the efforts of J udge ROBINSON in prose-
cutting the Auditor is not calculated to
impress the minds Of the people with
the idea that his opinion as a lawyer,
based upon bis well-known bitterness
Of spirit and prejudice as a man, is
entitled TO unlimited confidence.
Mainly through the efforts of the
Major, the Grand Jury Of this county
found five indictments against Mr..
Bison. We presume the indictments
were based principally upon the Ma
jor's opinion of the law. Yet, when
the eases came to trial, in every in
stance they were dismissed. This fact
is not calculated to exalt tho Majors
Legal opinions in the estimation of
the people IF Mr.. BIsCH had laid
himself liable. why didn't the Major
prosecute him before jury. and have
him punished? IF he was not gully,
why go through the farce Of having
him indicted with no intention of
bringing him to trial?
We cannot resist the conclusion
that the failure to try BIsCH on the
indictments found against him. fol-
lowed by the present proceedings,
makes the whole thing look consider
ably like persecution. The County
Commissioners have already. by fol-
lowing Judge RoBINsoN's advice, in
volved the county in useless ex-
pense of hundreds of dollars, and we
are net surprised that the Board hes
itate to follow an ignis Jtttaus into still
deeper financial sloughs.
/ As Mr. BIsCH las declined to take
advantage of the order of the Com
missiouers, and his attorneys are
ready for trial, which has been fzed
for Thursday next. we do uot see why
MessTs ROBINSON, SHACK ELF0RD and
PARRETT cannot attend to the case and
gain the suit Of which they profess to
be so confident. Their application 10
the Commissioners looks TO US very
much like an attempt to find back
door way to get out of suit which as
at present constituted is not promis
ing either as to hOnors or emOluments.
We trust the attorneys aforesaid will
/ not enter a aolle on Thursday as here
tofore, unless they are convinced
there is nothing in the case worth
: contendiDg for.

The utter ignorance of the English

respondent IN an E0glish manufac-

The Conference Committee on the
Currency bill has agreed on a report.
The retirement of the three per cent.
notes: the redistribution Of S25, 900, 900
of existing national bank currency, and
free banking, on a gold basis, are the
leading features of the report.
The pending Chinese Labor bill in Con-
gress is generally misunderstood. II
does not interfere with voluntary immi-
grafton, nor with their making contracts
themselves TO labor anywhere, but simply
aims to break up the custom of import
ing Chinese on three or four-year con-
tracts and then hiring them out to the
highest bidder by the importers.
1t is understood the Finance Committee
was yesterday considering the Tax and
Tariff bill, with view to making up the
loss in the revenue caused by striking out
the income tax. The committee agreed
to recommend the retention of the tax on
gross receipts. which yield something

New YORK. June 81.
The Worlds Montreal special says
great independence mass meeting took
place in Montreal on Saturday. In the
course of stirring speech, John Young
said the time had come when Canada
should sever her connection with Eng
land and become independent. At this
announcement the greatest part of the
vast assembly cheered Justify.
La Flamme said that any appeal to
England for support in case of invasion
of the Dominion would be futile; that
the present Imperial Administration had
deserted her colonies and proved herself
step-mother to those who had fostered
deep affection for her, and that it was,
therefore, folly to think Of anything but
independence.
Other speakers followed in the same
strain, and the meeting adjourned to
Tuesday.
The independence move can be re-
garded as fully started in the Dominion.
