In an editorial headed "Executive Ven
geanco," tho Yankton Press Of tho 12th inst.
reprints tho proclamation of Acting-Goy. Whit
ney, rensHlnging tho Justices Of the Supreme
Court Of Dakota Territory, and endeayors to
Ghow that the REASONS givon for removing Asso-
ciato-Jusrice Barnes from the Yankton District
to the less agreoable ono ut Pomhina wore not
the real oueg aud that the Acting Governor was
actuated only by personal feeling Of hostility
to Judge Barnes.
According to tho Press, tho first action Of
Judge DarneB which provoked the anger Of tho
Executive wss Ills decision onjoining the Dakota
Southern Railroad Company from issuing 81 ,200,-
600 Of mortgage bonds. Gov. Burbank, it says,
vaB Director and stockholder in tho Railroad
Company, md acted in q vory scandalous man
nor, ovon going SO far as to Pledge himsolf to
the Railroad Company to assign Judge Barnes to
another, district or to obtain dissolution Of
tho injunction. uo was On tho point Of iasuing
proclamation reassigning tho Justices, laat
summer, but, learning that such action might bo
construed into contompt Of court, and punished
by Imprisonment, ho abandoned tho intention.
Wo may remark, iu passing, that it ia not Gus
tomary for the Judicial branch Of the Govern
mont to imprison tho Executive branch for con-
tompt.
T Shortly afterwards, Con. McCook, Secretary Of
tho Territory, WAS murdered by Wintornlute, and
MoCook's fatlor-iu-law, Col. Whitney, was ap-
pointed Secretary. In October, tho Grand Jury
found an indictment for mauslaughtor against
Wintormuto and Judge Barnes admitted linn to
ball In tho sum Of $4,000. This action, 1t is al
legged, onragod Whitney, and ho agreed, it Bur-
bank would 1eayo tho Territory, thus making
Whitney tho Acting Governor, that lie would re-
moyo Barnes to tho Red Riyor District. About
the end Of October, Burbank did leave Dakota,
and, at tho Same time, Judge Daruoa won't to
Wisconsin to bring Ais family to Yankton. Within
a weelf thoroafter tho Acting Governor iasued a
proclamation assigning Judge Barnes to tho lio1
Rivor District, and tho OAet-JuHtieet to tho Yank.

EAHH0AD-AID BON04,

The Supreme Cor,r. OF this Stato has already
docldod that tho bonus issued by tho various
counties and towns in aid Of the Ottawa, Oswogo
l. Fo1 Rivor Valley Railroad, amounting to
e45o,00o, are void, and that no tax cnn 1awfully
bo imposed to pay tho interest OF principal on
sllch bonds. This decision WAS nado at tho suit
Of tho Town Of Ottawa. Nevertheless the State
Treasurer has in tho Treasury tho tax Of 1879,
collected from all the othor towns which issuod
such bonds. Despite tho decision Of the Supromo
Court, tho bondholdora will domand their inter-
est on those bonds, and therefore 1t Ia the duty
Of each town and county Interested to apply at
onco to tho Circuit Judge for IN order rostrain-
ing tho Treasuror from paying any interest on
any Of theao bonds, now or hereafter. AL these
bonds bear 10 per cont interest, and tho saving
Of tho 945,e00 now In tho Tronsury for TINT pur-
pose will bc worth tho trouble. Unless this
action DO taken, the Treaauror will 60 on md pay
interest on theBe bonds doclarod by tho Supreme
Court to bo void. Tho towns and countios in
tercstel in having theao injunctions immedinto-
~ served on the State Treasurer and tho amount
Of bonds issued by them arc as followa:
Kane County Mnrahal County
Township Of Aurora. 800 900 Town OF Evans. S 600
La8allo County Kendall County. Is 900
Town Of Bruce ... 13ono Town Of Fox. ~. 1900
Town Of Dayton :. 1911 Ol0 Town of Kendall. 1000
Town Of so'tl o.tawa 3oo00 -
City Of Ottuwa.,.. 10000 Total. .$4s6 600
Now comes the County Of Randolph, which
has obtained and sorvod m injunction on tho
stato Troasurcr, prohibiting him from paying
any interest on tho bonds issued by TINT county
in ntd Of tho Chester l. Tamaroa Coal l. Rail-
way Company. Wo do not know tho grounds on
| which Randolph County Inns applied for this in
junction, but no suppose it is oqunlly applicable
! to tho other subscriptions to'that road. These
subscriptions arc Tho County Of Randolph,
| $1Go,000, por cent bonds; City Of Chester,
| $4,000, Z per cent bonds; Perry County, $780,
900, 7 por cent bonds. Total, $3.50, 900; annual
interest, s18,500.
Tho newspapers and people Of Ford County
arc beginning to look up thoir case. Tho count,
Was swindlod by subscription Of s142,00o in II
per cont bonds, in aid Of tho Lafayette, Bloom
ington L Alississippi Railroad. It received {
/ IolLAGAkt VI btoGA 4ol kutk slA1. AAA tAuu tAt
managers loased the road for ninoty-nino yearf
to the Toledo, Wabash Il Western Railroad Com
pany. This Ionic, Of courso, oblitorated the
stock, and tho county finds itself called upon t.
pay $14, 200 q year interest, and gets no retur1
for its stock. An Investigation is proposed, ant
tho investigation will probably end in the dis
continuance Of any further payment Of interest
Tho total local subscriptions for this roat
amount to 9s76,500 in 10 por cent bonds. Th'
judicial investigation in tho affairs Of tho Gil
man, Clinton t. Springfield Railroad Company il
likely to put Tho bonds issued in aid Of that ron.
out Of tho market. On tho whole, railroad-ait
bonds in this State aro not in a healthy o
promising condition.
