situation to be as bad as it was represented in the

THE HOBOKEN SAVINGS BANK.

In the United States Court at Trenton yesterday
the pettioning creditor withdrew his suit, it hav-
ing been announced tnat the claim against Fisk
& Hatch for s94,0 mad been adjusted ana the
other difficulties overcome. The bank may
consequently resume at an early day; other
wise another petition will be filed against
it. The probability Is that the directors
will soon reopen the concern. The result will be
an overwhelming run, which cannot cease until
the last mortgage held by them is oreclosed. The
reason is that the depositors have lost all con-
fdence in the Board because OF their action during
the Klenen regime. The universal wonder Is that
the SIX or seven sterling men IN the Board allow
their names to be connected with the other direc-
tors. The only possible measure to avert the COM
ing and panic is for the directors to reOrgan-
lze They owe IL to the thousands who suffer by
the existing state OF things II the wire-
pullers stubbornly persist IN keeping their
places the whltewash OF local sycophants
cannot conceal their real motives for so
dong. The managers have repeatedly
declared that they received no pay for their SER
vices, and hence 1t cannot be difficult for them to
rest from their long and phllanthropic abors 1t
should be remembered at the same time that
few outsiders have been airing themselves
with the sole desire OF getting into the
Board OF Managers. Some OF these men
have already read the bankruptcy law to advan-
tage, and would become elements OF destruction
rather than OF recuperatlon. But there are many
good and trusty men in Hoboken who ought to be
put In the places OF those that have lost caste In
the Board OF Directors.

THE ''Boss" IN HIS ISLAND HOME.



Warden Liscomb of the Penitentiary yesterday,
in response to the inquiries OF representative OF
the HERALD, stated that William NJ Tweed still
retains his place assistant in the hospital depart
ment and has for some days shown no falling
health until yesterday, when he had return OF his
dysentery in a less aggravated degree. Mr..
Tweed seems much more cheerful than upon his
first entry into the prison, and on the whole is not
likely to succumb TO disease or fail beneath the
duties imposed upon him. He declined yesterday,
owing to his illness, to receive the reporter
and speak OF the events which are exciting
admitted on saturday afternoons, hearsay infor-
the only visitors lie has had recently are his de-
voted wife and sons who call two or three times a
week. and two or three persons who have business
transactions with him requiring attention. The
impression that he Is dressed in convict garb Is
erroneous, as he has had special suit made of
material different from any worn IN the institu-
tion because there is no special uniform for mlsde-
meanor prisoners. The keepers seem to be inn
pressed with the Importance OF the dethroned
Boss, and speak OF him as neither seeking nor ex-
pectlng special 1avorS. one, however, stated
yesterday, to a visitor, that Mr.. Tweed takes his
meals at the table of Warden Liscomb; but this
can scarcely be true in view of the fact tnat the
Warden's residence is fully half mile from the
prison. 1t is possible that his meals may be sent
TO him. but not at all likely that lie would be
treated in this manner or that he would expect
such special relaxation OF the rules.

SUPREME C0URT-GENERaL TERM.
The Property Of Ex-Cify Chamberlain
Plat,

Before Judges Ingraham, Brady and Barrett.
Executors OF Nathan G. Platt vs. George W.
Piatt.-Judgment in this action was rendered at
Special Term, by Judge Fancher, in 1avor OF the
plaintiff, in March last. The General Term have
affirmed this judgment, and denied the defendants
motion for new trial on the decision, under the
26sth section Of the Code. The opinion Of the Gen.
eral Term is written by Judge Barrett, Judges In
graham and Brady concurrlng. The facts OF the
case, in briei, are that IN ls60 and 1861, while
Nathan c. Patt who had been City Chamberlain
and President OF tue Artsans Bank, in declin-
ing health and OF weak mental condition, his
senior brother and partner, George W. Patt,
conceived the scheme of depriving him OF all his
property without paying one dollar Tor it, BY undue
influence, by the domination natural 10 an elder
brother and partner, by false entries and balances
in the partnership BOOKS, by inducements and
coercion at the last moment he procured the con-
veyance OF many parcels OF valuable real estate
and all his share in the partnership property.
ms executors commenced this action TO set aside
the conveyances and recover back all this prop
erty. The amount involved is very large. The
opinion OF Judge Barrett examines carefully the
evidence In detail and the rules of law applicable 10
cases of undue influence, and concludes that .'in
the present case there Is no question in our minds
that the Judgment of the Special Term was Just
and righteous aud that II ought 10 be sus ained.r

The City Liable for Services OF Omcer

John Ford was the first Assistant Clerk OF the
Board of Aldermen OF this city, at salary OF $500
per year. from June l. 1870 until the 10th OF Janu-
ary 1872. On the 1st OF January 1872 the terms OF
office OF the members of the old Board expired and
the reform Board took their seats. The Comp
troer refused to pay Ford his salary for the 10
DAYS from the 1st to the 10th OF January, 1872
claiming that Ford's Office terminated with that OF
the Board that appointed him. Mr.. Ford, through
his counsel brought suit against the city Tor the eN

counsel for Judgment on the pleadlngs Ford's dis
charge dated 10th January, 1872 was produced, ana

pointed and that corporations Were liable FOR SER

THE NEWARK LIBEL SUITS.

Judge Guilds Case Still Undecided-The
Jury Out Thirty.Six Hours and No
Agreement.
Up to last evening the jury in the case Of Judge
William B. Guild, tried on Friday, in Newark, on an
indictment for publishing in his newspaper, the
Journal an alleged libel on City Counsel Francis,
still remained out unable to agree. The case was
given TO them about five O'Clock on Friday. Yes
terday morning the Court was unable to convene
in consequence of the illness OF Judge and the
absence of others from town.
IN THE EDITORS CASE
the question OF the invalidity OF the indictment
in consequence OF its not having the signature Of
the foreman OF the Grand Jury has given rise to
widespread discussion in legal and general circles,
the popular opinion being that the Indictment
could not be held good. The supreme Court, before
which the matter will go, does not convene at Iren
then the question is open and no decision can be
had This question being entirely new in New
Jersey assumes considerable Importance.

AID FOR THE AFFLICTED IN HoBOKEN.

Ten years ago there was established in Hoboken
a hospital under the direction OF the Sisters OF
the Poor. From that time until the present some
10000 persons have received within It's walls aid
la the shape OF medical treatment food or cloth
ing, irrespective OF class, color creed The doors
have never been closed to the friends OF suffering
PATIENTS and every facility has been extended to
cergymen OF various denominations i'll admins
tering the last rites to the dying. To
provide against the distress now existing
among the poor the good Sisters Will open q fair

and "Wednesday OF the coming week, whereat
every one who has at heart the feeding OF the hun
cry and the clothing OF the naked can have an OPP
p0rtnnty OF doing much good A varied and
valuable assortment OF articles, Tor exhibition and
sale at the fair, has been contributed by the warm
hearted patrons of the institution, both in New
York and Hoboken. Having always met with
hearty responses from all classes OF people, the
Sisters are sanguine OF success IN this undertak-
Ing, which deserves especial support.

county, nlinois-Error to the C,rcut Court for the
Northern District Of Ilinoic, submitted under the
twentieth rule>-The plaintn in error became the
holder OF county bonds issued to the Plymouth,
Kankakee and Pacific Railroad Company and sub
sequently endorsed to others by the road.
The Court sustained the defence made, that the
bonds having been issued by the chairman sfthe
Board and the County Clerk after the consolidation
OF the road, for which the stock was subscribed,
with the present company to another corporation
than the for which the subscription was
authorized, their action was void for want OF
authority.
II is here maintained that the Court erred in this
decision, because the consolidation was specially
authorized by the charter OF the road for which the
subscription was made at the time stock was
voted as well as by the general laws or the state.
The consolidation, therefore, did not release the
county from the contract OF subscription made and
accepted before IL was efected.
