Additional particulars Of the arrest of the
COunterfeiterS in Tennessee and North Caro-
lima show that about sixty were capturned.-
They belong 10 a cOlfraternity "WhO are ban

The L. s. Circuit Court resumed its sessions
yesterday afternoon.

man returned verdict for the plaintiff.
The counsel for the defendant made mollon
for a new trial.
The court adjourned until 10 o clock this morn
ing when il again met.
In the case OF the United States as. Collector
G. IL. b. Day, OF Dover, for alleged irregularities
in his accounts, non-snit was allowed, ON Inc
grounds of q variance between the official bond
offered IN evidence, and that filed with the decla
ration.
The District Attorney contended that the bond
filed under n State statute was merely for PurPo
ses OF evidence, and no part of the declaration
and that as there was no variance between the
bond offered in evidence, and the declaration
proper, it ought TO be admitted.
Ihe counsel for the defendant contcnded thai
the fling of the bond made it part of the decla
ration and that that offered in evidence varied
in important particulars from the one hled, u
ought 10 be rejected, and this was the opinion oi
the Court.
The bond filed was from n false copy sent IRON
the Treasury Department to the District Attorney
who after fling a copy oi it, discovered its error
and had true copy made for use as evidence ~
the case. AS the incorrect copy could not bt
proven, and was not what the Government relied
on. the District Attorney accepted a non suit.
The case will come up again in October next
unless Ex-CollecIor Day shall in the meantime
come TO an agreement and settlement with the
Treasury Department.
The Court adjourned until three O'Clock this af'
