porter yesterday visited money brokers'
Office with friend, the latter calling to
obtain sum Of greenbacks due him. The
amount TO his credit was for a roll of Con
federate paper currency he had lett to be
sold. Some one had purchased the bills,
paying a small amount Of good money tor
each roll representing thousand dollars,

the purchaser intended to do with the

THE QUESTION OF RECORDERsHIp-The
Supreme Court last Monday rendered de-
cision IN the case of Campbell VS.. Michel.
Recorder Campbell was the old incumbent
of the Sixth District recorders court, and
held his office after the fourth of last April.
the City Council failing 20 elect. Governor
Warmoth stepped in and appointed Mr.
Michel on the twentieth Of last September,
in place of Mr. Campbell. Four days alter
ward the Council woke up and concluded
to avail Themselves Of the right to elect,
choosing Mr. Campbell for the Sixth Dis
trct The case went into the courts. where
it hung until Monday, when final decision
was rendered giving Mr.. Michel the posi-
ton.
In the case of HOughton Va. Gernon. the
Superior Court virtually says that that
court can not decide the contest, which
places the d.estion Just where it stood
when Mr.. GcrHon received his recent com
mission from Governor Kellogg and de-
manded the office from Mr.. Houghton.
Should Mr. Gernon now feel inclined to
pursue his suit, he can take advantage OF
the law passed at the last session of our
Legislature and seek remedy under Its
provisions. We do not know that he will
avail himself of that law, or that he will
stil! contend for the office.
Governor Kellogg has it in his power to
eettia the matter and sever the knotty
question b., si5ning the new law concern
ing the recorders courts. That law signed
and promulgated. all the recorders can be
removed aud new ones appointed. when
there will remain no opportunity for red-
eonabie cor tentiOn.
