The decision of Judge Sutherland in the
case of j. b. Cornell is but the beginning of
troubles Mr.. Cornell claims $4,000 for work
done on the famous New Courthouse, which
has been such mine of wealth to "lngcrsoll
as Co." and other mysterious COOS" The
Court decides that COrnell's bill is a just one,
and ought to be paid. 1t is even willing to
issue sort of rowing mandamus to compel
its payment; but there is no money to be
compelled, nevertheless. The prospect now is
that, in addition to the extraordinary bills for
work not done which have been paid out of
the funds raised for the completion of the
Courthouse, there will be several layers of
liens put Oh the structure for work which has
been done but not paid for.

The report that compromise will be eff
fected in the French Assembly, by which NJ.
Thiers's term will be prolonged only to the
end of the term of the Assembly looks rea-
sonable enough; but such termination of the
struggle will hardly satisfy NJ. Theirs. Old as
he is, he has still great ambition; indeed, he
is reported to have expressed the ardent wish
that he might be the Washington of France
But a majority of the Assembly is mOnarchist
and it does not relish the suggestion that NJ.
Thierss hold upon the Presidency shall out
last its official existence. Though this Assem-
bly, was only chosen to make terms of peace
with Germany, it is not ready to surrender
its self-constituted power to prepare gov
eminent for France. The Assembly may grant
NJ. Theirs a fixed term of Office, but it will
be very likely itself to outlive his official
career, nevertheless.

When the remaining one hundred and thirty
millions of the new five per cent loan were
taken by the British Syndicate, as it is called,
fifty millions were reserved for the National
Banks of the United States. The eighty mil
lions allotted to European money markets have
all been taken up, and five millions additional
have been called for by subscriptions made.
Yesterday the subscriptions to the loan in this
country amounted to two millions We may
consider that the whole loan has practically
been disposed of. This intelligence is certain
" very gratifying, affOrding as it does strong
indication of the condition of the public
credit as well rs of the skill and ability with
which the finances OF the country have been
administered. If we needed any special evil
dence of the economy and thrift of our present
system of direction of financial affairs, it can
be found in the impregnability of the nations

b." BOARD OF SUrERvisoRs.-on
Monday last, application to Judge Hall
at chambers, was made by the Board OF
Supervisors of Jefferson county, against
Logan Osborn and others, for writ OF
Quo U'arranfo and injunction.
The Berkeley Union says: The case
was argued by Messrs. Blackburn and
Faulkner and Judge Van Swemlngen
for petitioners, and Andrew Hunter Tor
RESPONDENTS. Judge Hall awarded a
rule against respondents, returnable to
the next term of the circuit court, to
show bv what authority they were eXer-
cisinc the functions of a Board OF Su-
pervisors for said county, but refused
to grant the injunction as prayed Tor
The question involves the constitution
atty of the act Of the last Legislature, In
authorizing the Governor to appoint
two members of the Board Of Supervl-
sors, and his power under the law, to
fill a vacancy in said Board.
His honor ruled that the Legislature
might provide by special legislation for
the appointment Of these officers, but
the Constitution provided that the
Board of Supervisors were to Judge OF
the election, qualification, &c, Of Their
own members, and OF all county and
township officers consequently, the
Board of Supervisors Of Jefferson had
the right to Judge astothe qualifications
of the Governors appointees, subject to
have their actions i'll the premises super
yised by the circuit courts. The facts
showed that one Of the Governors APP
pointees resigned, and the Judge ruled
tina; under the law in question, the Gov
crnor had no right to refill the vacancy,
lie also ruled that, in his opinion, the.
proceedings to enjoin, was merely an
cillary to the gro Har'0nio, and that
his refusal ofan injunction did not, by
any means, settle the question that the
acts Of either body now claiming to leg
islate in Jefferson county were legal and
valid.
