The case Of Bernard Collins, ct al, VS.
JessieF Taylor, et'al., occupied the attention
of the Court and jury for -four days,
and resulted IN u verdict for defendants
of $3.50 damages, This was an, action
brought by plaintiffs to obtain asssright OF
way over defendants mining claim, for the
construction of fiume for the purpose OF
working plaintiffs claim. The case arose
underan act passed blythe Legislative Assem-
bly, OF last winter, entitled, "An Act concern
ing rights of way, easements and other ncces-
sary means for the development of mines. .
Commissioners having been appointed to
assess the damages in pursuance of the stat.
ute, they assessed the damages at OIL, 600
The plaintiffs appealed from said assessment,
and upon trial the jury rendered the above
stated verdict ~ W. SAS
1t wasa pioneer case under the new law,
and attracted considerable attention.
The court held:
LIST. That under the law of Congress of
1856. and made applicable to placer mining
claims by the law of July 9th, 1870, the
plaintiffs were entitled to the right of way
through the defendants claim; that the de-
PENDANTS received their patent subject TO this
right, and that the ground occupied by plain
tiffs cut, tunnel and fiume did not and never
did, belong to defendants by virtue of their
patent, but that the same was expressly re-
served BY the United States, and that the act
authorized the Territorial Legislature to make
such needfnl rules and regulations as to how
this right OF way should be acquired and en-
Joyed as 1t thought proper with view to the
complete development of the mines
ID. That it would have been competent |
for the Legislature to have enacted that no
damages should be assessed for the construc- |
ton of t1ume, cut or tunnel, through and |
over this right of way, but that in the absence |
of necessary legislation by Congress on the |
subject, it was within the province of the
Territorial Legislature to impose such rules |
and regulations as to this right of way as it |
thought proper, and that the law authorizing |
the assessment of damages necessarily result
ing from the construction of such cut, fume |
or tunnel, was valid law. zfsy. .ye.t.. ,fg
Sd. That in the assessment of such dam
ages the jury could not take into considera-
ton the bedrock water that would necessa-
rily be used and diverted from the claim be-
low through which the cut passed, in the
working of the claim above.
4th. That the bedrock water OF each
claim belonged tosuch claim, and chat NO
damages could be recovered by lower claim
ant by reason of the diversion of such water
in the mining of an upper claim. ~ ss@ 5a |

Missouri Bond Frauds.

A Missouri bond fraud story comes to
us from Cass county in that State. Some
fifteen years ago, it appears, the good people
of this county thought they would help the
Missouri Pacific Railroad to the extent of
800, 900, for which they issued ten per cent
bonds; but, believing that the company had
not kept its engagements, only $4,000 of them
were delivered, the remainder being returned
to the county safe. BY the fortune Of war
they fell into the hands of the unsophisticated
General Schofeld, who, believing they be-
longed to the railroad company, presented the
bonds to them. The company now claimed
the full amount Of the bonds, with accrued in
terest for fourteen years, and were Indignantly
denied by the citizens. 1t seems, however,
that the railroad company's claim was declared
valid, and new bonds at eight per cent were
issued for the amount of 1929, 900. Some of
the County Court officials, it is now alleged,
formed "ring' on crude principles, rush ed
the bonds through, carried them of, and
sought to dispose of them. 1t was bunglingly
done, for some of the parties soon after found
their way into jail. Missouri is evidently get
ING on, and need not be discouraged at this
clumsy failure. Why didn't they think Of a
Syndicate, or consult with Mr.. R. b. Connolly,
our ex-Comptroller?
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-03-06

1t will be seen by the telegram from Paris,
published in another part of the paper, that
M. Pouyer-Quertier, Minister of Finance,
leaves the French Cabinet. This gentleman
had given offence to his colleagues, and par
ticularly to the extreme conservatives, by the
testimony he had given in the case of M.
Janvier de la Motto, the ex-Prefect of the
Department of Eure.. The charge against M.
de la Motto was misappropriating funds con-
tributed for the relief Of French sufferers, and
the evidence given by M. Pouyer-Quertier was
in favor of the accused. In this NJ. Pouyer-
Quertier appears to have been right, if the
Judgment of the Court of Rouen, before which
La Motto was tried, is to be accepted as just.
for he was on Monday acquitted and honor
ably discharged. But there was undoubtedly
question of politics as well as Of fact in this
case, and hence the excitement and the minis
terial crisis which sprung from 1t. After q
protracted discussion in the Cabinet over the
conduct of M. Pouyer-Q uertier this gentle
man solved the difficulty by presenting his
resignation to President Theirs. It is re-
ported that Casimir Perier, the Minister OF
the Interior, will probably be appointed to the
place vacated by Pouyer-Q uertier AS the
financial policy of the government seems not
to have been involved in this ministerial
trouble we suppose there will be no change 10
consequence of the appointment Of another
Finance Minister.

President THEIRS Threat to the French

President THEIRS Threat to the French
Parliament.
France has just made another of those ter
rible heavy payments Of war indemnity money
to Prussia. President Theirs appears to be,
naturally enough, perhaps, in bad humor after
afhxing the Executive signature to the Trea-
sury draft in favor of Emperor William. In
such state of mind-it must have been So
the Chief of the republic of France appeared
before the Legislative Committee on the
Budget yesterday and complained of sits in
activity, which embarrassed the government,
President announced at the same time his in
tention ''of bringing the matter directly be-
fore the Assembly," This is very serious
course of action indeed, particularly when
adopted deliberately by statesman of such
vast experience as M. Theirs towards the
members of legislative committee. 1t is a
threat to the parliamentary function. Each
member of the committee is in his own person
a constituent part of the Legislature; his in
dependence in the discharge of his duty

independence once subjected to Executive
control or. terrorized over by government
power, and the health of the body corporate
comes impaired; its vitality may decrease to
gangrene Such is the essential theory of
constitutional government. President Theirs
knows the fact. He should not permit his
temporal power necessities to impel him to
abnegate it. An appeal to a wounded Parlia-
ment cannot give animation to the State gov
eminent. 1t may lead Theirs from bad to
worse. He has himself recorded the ominous
order Of First Consul Bonaparte to his grena-
diers in the hall Of the National Convention
when he said, 'Let all the refractory men,
bers leave the hail." The bayonet obeyed
him; the imperial purple, Waterloo, and the
France of to-day ensued.
