Judge Barnard's Concluding Re
marks on the New York City
Injunction Case.

The reader will remember that some
time ago the city of New York filed its
bill to enjoin the Supervisors from further
payment of claims against the city, until
the same were inspected and set apart by
the Board of Auditors that this bill was
filed under the suspicion that the corrupt
officials were paying bills at pleasure
without regard to their business. The
case was argued before Judge Barnard at
some length by counsel for the prosecu-
ton and for the defense, after hearing
which the Judge granted the injunction.
The following are his concluding remarks i:
81 am not justified, under the circum
stances, in saying that the payment of
these bills by the Comptroller, and the
raising of bonds by the Board of Appor-
tionment, authorize me to say that they
are entitled to the confidence OF the Court
so as to permit them to go on and spend
more money, having failed, in consequence
of omission, if not commission. IL Is my
duty-and painful duty it is-not to al
low another dollar to be paid from the
treasury or another boad to be issued. I'M
ill such time as there shall be some altera-
ton in that Board Applause.
at may be said that in consequence OF
granting this order the city and county
governments will be disorganized. Ihave
nothing to do with that. | have plain
duty to perform-not pleasant one, but
one which / cannot avoid. Whenever a
proper case for an Injunction is presented
1t is my duty to grant it. 1t is said there
is remedy in The purpose OF trying the
charges against the Comptroller. l know
of no such legal remedy, and where there
Is no remedy against the robbery of tle

Justice to invent remedy; and II none

REFLECTION OF TIE NATIONAL pEpr

REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.
The amount of debt including accrued
interest and less cash in the Treasury, on
the LIST of March, 1869, near the com
mencement of the administration of Pres
ident Grant, was about twenty-five hun
dred millions of dollars ($2, 525, 463 ,26901. )
On the 1st of April, 1871, it was twenty
three hundred and nine millions of dol
lars (S2, 309, 697, 59627) The reduction of
such debt, during the two years and one
month which elapsed from March /, 1869,
was two hundred and fifteen millions of
dollars( $215, 765, 663. IA, a reduction equiv
alent to eight million six hundred and
thirty thousand dollars ($S, $50, $3.50 per
month, or one hundred and three millions
and half per annum ($103, 597, 51S.60)

SAVING OF INTEREST.
The monthly charge for interest on the
public debt on the LIST of March, 1869, was
ten and half million dollars 1888, 1862
SOY. On the 1st of April, 1871, it was
nine and halfmillions of dollars ($9,52
2I2.67). The reduction in the monthly
charge for interest is one million of dol
lars COOS, 249s3), and the reduction per
annum is, consequently, twelve millions
of dollars (s12, 0e2, 997.96).
This reduction of the public debt, and
consequent saving of annual interest, was,
by careful and economic administration,
effected under revenues which had been
reduced as follows:

AnecdCte OF Ben Wade.

A decent regard for truth compels US
to admit that reverence for exalted pO-
sition is rot characteristic of the politi-
cal society Of Washng ton. And If
ever there was a man who regarded
with entire Indifference the mere formal
of society, it is the
late acting Vice President, ex-senator
Wade of Ohio. During the impeach.
ment trial, the following is reported to
have occurred between himself and
Chief Justice Chase, who presided
The session was to open at twelve
O'Clock, and it was within twenty min
utes of that time, and the Chief Justice
had not made his appearance in the
Vice Presidents room, which, for the
time was used by Mr.. Chase as a robing
room. The hands of the clock crept
slowly but surely nearer the figure MI.
when suddenly the door was thrown
open and in stalked the Chief Justice.
He walked hurriedly to the wardrobe;
but his robe of Office was not upon its
accustomed peg, nor on any peg. What

ed; this, that, and the other room, desk
and drawer were examined, but no robe
was discovered. In the midst of this
excitement the grim, honest old hero,
Ben Wade, made his appearance, with
nod and srunt, to the tlurried occu"
pants OF the room. He walked to the
hatrac!s, and after depositing bis hat
went to the sofa Oh tina other side Of the
room to leave his umbrel!y in safe
place. Wrdc, after learning the cause
Of the trouble, without entering into the
furry of the hunt, leaned over the sofa
| and with his umbrella hooked up an
uncertain looking black bundle. See
| ing it was the long looked for robe, he
| held it toward Mr.. Chase with, "Here,
| Chase-here's yer darmed old frock
you've been making such a confounded
fuss about The pages smiled smile.
! The Chief Justice was too overioyed to
do anything but speedily get inside OF
his robe: and if on that morning the
heated, crowded audience saw the Chief

A Cockney in Iowa.

William Price, of No. 81 Circucester
street, London, has been to Iowa to buy
land, and gone back disguised. His
story is worth telling "to encourage the
others:'
His first grievance was that having
jou-neyed to EIkhart, Ind. ,on an emf
grant train he was unable to buy there
al "emigrant ticket" through to Bur-
lingt)n.
But he would never have had this
ground for grumbling had he bought a
ticket i'm New York all the way to Bur
lington, as he was urged to do in the
rail road circular, which his own story
shows be had read. stop over tickets
are unknown to cockneys.
When Mr.. Price arrived in Burlington
he went to the "Emigrants' Home,"
which he had read in his'circular, being
''erected for the gratuitous accommoda-
ton of incoming settlers a landing place
and starting point, &C., He found its
doors locked. The reason was that he
came on an express train. That bull
ding being intended for emigrants, is
naturally open only when emigrant
trains arrive. Mr.. p. then stepped into
the nearest shop (saloon?) and inquired
the price of land in the neighborhood.
The answer was 500 an acre. The
price of railroad lands las advertised in the
circular, ranged from $3 to SIS. Infuri-
ated at this seeming swindle he started
back for England the same night. He
entered Iowa at seven O'Clock and left it
at nine.
Had he stayed till morning he would
have laughed himself at his fears OF an
imaginary imposition. Had his passion
permitted him even to scrutinize the
map Oh his circular, he would have per-
ceived that Burlington, the land office,
is hundreds of miles distant from the
lands he proposes to purchase, and would
no more have thought of the prices near
it as identical with those SO far off. He
would also have learned that all Bur
lington acres had been sold within thir'
y.eight years for no moro than five
English shillngs apiece.
. How many fail Of coveted prize
when q trif!e more persistence would Sc
cure it in their grasp! Had Mr.. p. lin
gered in Burlington over only one train
he would now have been one of the
"landed gentry" of Iowa master o
those broad acres he had always longsC
r for. The slip between The cup and thu
, lip reminds me of one friend who Wen
to Rome, yet never saw the Pope o
another who pilgrimed to Jerusalem
yet never went out to the Mount o
Olives or, rather, Of Mark Twain's in
nocents, who had travelled around TIT
world in order to sail OH the sea Of Cali
lee, but who after arriving at that ha
ven of their hopes, refused to embarl
on its waters because the skipper of til
y only sail boat there demanded twent.
y francs more fare than they had expect
: ed to pay. For much less than twent
- francs of additional outlay Mr.. p. woui
. have ascertained that during the las
" year 1882 settlers had purchased lSS, rs
a acres of B. Il NJ. r. railroad land at a
average of Sll.19 per acre, about ont
1 tenth Of what he was told.-Yet let l
o not despair of Mr.. Price. Havin
