pIalntlh as mortgage Of piece of prop
erty, the suit being brought for an iDiunc-
ton in the Second Judicial District Court
of Jefferson, and the court giving judgment
dissolving it, from which the plaintiff APP
pealed.
The sale of the property without appraise-
ment was authorized by the third section of
the act of 1869, the constituti0nality of
| which Is asSalled on the grounds that it is
insufficient in title aud that its provisions
impair the plaintiff obligation of con rracts
The title, in our opinion, indicates the OBJ

That the enactment of this regulation in

mortgage impaiTs the obligation OF con
tracts as it applies emily to the remedy for
enforcement OF obligations and the appraise-
ment in the interest OF the debtor may be

We can discover no such defects as to
render null the judgment of the Justice of
the peace, the apparent discrepancy IN the
number OF the court being explained by the

Superior District Sourio
The State, through Attorney General
Belden and H. G. Dibble, special coun-
sci, has filed in this court, as we have be-
| fore stated, petition representing that the
laws of the State require that the State
| Treasurer shall receive only cash in settle
ment Of the taxes payable into the general
fund: that it is tie duty of the Treasurer
| to require that the collectors of revenues
enforce such payment and such settlement.
| Nevertheless, petitioner shows that Antoine
| Dubuclet, State Treasurer, has been re-
ceiving and still receives in settlement of
| the taxes payable to the general fund State
warrants from the collecting officers.
| Petitioner shows that this is violation of
| law, and is calculated to work irreparable
! injury to the State: that large number of
| fraudulent warrants have been issued by
James Graham, Auditor, upon payment OF
which purported to be certificates issued By
| the State registrar of voters, or at the reg
| istration offices; that said certificates were
issued in violation of law, and all warrants
| issued thereon are therefore null and void.
| That said Dubuclet has paid many thou
sand dollars of such warrants, and is about
to pay other of said warrants to the amount
| of several thousand dollars.
Judge Hawkins has ordered the wGits of
injunction to issue. without bond, the State
being dispensed from giving bond.
The petitioner shows that it is necessary
that Charles Clinton, S1a:s Auditor, should
be made Il party 10 these proceedings and
should be commanded and required TO fur
nish TO the said Treasurer full and com
plete list Of all such fraudulent and Illegal
warrants, to the end thdt the State may be
protected.
Wherefore petitioner praes that Charles
Clinton. Auditor. and A Dubucet, Treas
ureT may be cited 20 appear and answer
this petition; that 8 writ of Injunction may
issue against said Clinton, commanding and
iDjOinln9 him 10 Immediately furnish to A.
