The Kings observation-disclosures Of the
ThrOne.-NIili.in Ordered to: Surrender
their Arms.
From The New York 7eegram.f
MADRID, January 6.-After his reception
the king ordered the dispatch OF telegrams
announcing occupancy of the throne.
The great court building is filled witi
regular troops, literally sleeping on their
arms. a large number OF arms are piled
along the corridors.
At every public building and at the garr!'
sons all troops are under arms.
At Il ball given for charitable purposes. -
few dancers were present 1t broke u!'
early.
The militia have been ordered to sur.
render their arms. The order was arbi.
trary, and was issued two days ago. Had
it not been complied with. it is certain that
there would have been an insurrectiOn. Ii
was supposed by the militia and volunteers
that the constitution guaranteed them tho
right to bear arms. The order is likely to
produce trouble. Fears of an insurrection
stiu agitate the people, and all who can
keep within doors.

THE COURTS.
Eiahth D:ntric1 Court.

Judge Dibble yesterday rendered an oral
decision in the case of James O'Neil ct alA
of the Old Board of State Assessors vo.
James Graham. Auditor.
The following is the substance OF TIE
judges decision:
Iu this case the reiatcrs have been asses-
sors, and apply for mandamus to compel
the State Auditor 10 issue warrants tor
balance claimed to be due them.
The revenue act of 1868, section thirty
eight, provides that the assessors shall have
three per cent upon all taxes levied, to be
collectable when The roll has been deposited
with the State Auditor.
An act OF 1869, No. Co. directs that the
Auditor shall levy. in addition to regular
taxes provided for by the revenue iaw'. such
other taxes M L.ay be necessary to pay the
interest on the levee bonds of the State.
The assessors aim that they are entitled TO
three. per cent Upon the tax SO levied.
The answer is that there is no money In
the Treasury fsr the payment of this claim.
and tina; in their settlement the assessors
have given isal receipts for all amounts due
them.
But in the petition the relato.s ask. If
there is no money in the treasury. that
they have certificates of Indebtedness
issued 70 .rcm and the statute rsgulating
the duties oI the Auditor requires that he
shall issue certificates Of indebtedness for
all claims allowed by law. ald for which
no special appropriation has been made.
The evijense taken show, that in their
settlement with the Auditor. the assessors
specially reserved this claim.
l. therefore. see no way in which the
State can avoid the settlement OF this claim.
however unjust or cxorhitant il may be.
The law allows it. and .1e only thing the
Auditor can do ia to issue the warrant: the
only thing the court csa do - to compel
him To isSUe.
Ifthe compensation granted is TOO much.
the Legislature must correct II.
Let the .nandamr- he made perempt"ry.
