THE Register upon the authority OF two
letters from Clarksburg (Which 1t does moi
print makes the following statement
which we copy in Justice TO Judge HoFF'
NAN; ..-' .... .......
"In giving to all subjects that claim his
attention that minute and laborious eX-
animation for which the Judge Is distin-
gulShed, It has been his constant habit 10
make memoranda Of authorities and prin.
Ciples and such other matters relating TO
the case as occurred 10 him during the
course OF his reading and study. Memo
rauda Of this kind in relation TO the Gov.
ernor's constitutional power Of appoint
ment, and also In relation TO other legal
questions, hastily written on detached
scraps OF paper, were blown from his ta'
Bile by puff Of wind and carried TO the
street. Before they could be recovered
by the Judge they were snatched
up by some person who lacked the
common instincts Of gentlemsnly proPri-
ETY., and submitted for inspection to Judge
Hofman's political and personal Toes.
The lost memoranda contained nothing
whatever In the nature Of an opinion, or
argument, or decision upon the case that
is soon to be argued before tue Supreme
Court Of Appeals. They were valuable
only to Judge Hoffman and were intend
ed for his eye alone, But such Is the bit.

lightly that the accidental discovery Of
these private papers has been made the

prejudged the case, Of deciding II before

attorneys employed on behalf Of the
Board Of Public Works"

the significance Of those papers. 1t oc

The Vienna Panic.

NEW YeRK, June 2.-The Vienna cor
respondent OF the London Times, under
date Of May 10th says, in relation to the
panic on Exchange: "thG 18th Of May,
the dreaded settling day, is over. The
havoc was greaEll'Up to P. n; ninety.
five insolvehcies had been declared. The
bell which announces such events, had
scarcely moment Of respite from 10 A. n.
It was sort Of massacre and at Q p. N.
the number OF these dispatches amounted
to 100. Several considerable men were In
the number but almost without
exception they were small men, tho prl-
vate soldiers of the Exchange. Many a
man who had been set down previous to
the crisis as worth SO many hundred
thousand ilorins saw his hundreds OF
thousands vanish In tho air. AS yet the
catastrophe has almost been confined TO
the Conlissiers Of larger establishments.
There are only the Commission bank and
the Borsen Credit sbank which are in
straits, and the firm OF Reitses, which has
had leading part in getting
up the tramwsys Of Vienna.
They first decided yesterday evening
to declare It's insolvency to-day. The
house OF Reitzes and the BOrsen Credit
Bank are trying TO conclude an nmicable
arrangement with their creditors. Its
confidence has received a most terrible
shock. The heaviest day has passed, but
there Is the Saturday TO come on which
the arrangements were made on Friday
last, and the transactions made since are
to be settled. No one seems inclined TO-
venture forward before the worst is
known.

The ConllIct OF Authority..WIIt of
Quo WaTTnntO Filled against the
Governor

The Con llIct OF Authority..WrIt Of
Quo WarTnntO Filed against the
Governor
LITTLE RoCK, June AIN the Supreme
Court to-day, the Attorney Genearl filed
an application for writ Of quo ioarrGnO
against Gov. Baxter, to show by what au.
thority he holds the office Of Governor.
The application Is Is In the usual form,
and sets out by stating that the Governor
has unlawfully usurped the place. al.
though Gov. Baxter refuses 10 recognize
the right OF the Court to hear such an
application, and has announced that he
will obey no mandate issued by 1t on such
an application, and refused to employ
counsel TO fight the matter, Judges
English and Compton, both eminent
attorneys, appeared In court and
opposed the filing Ol the application. The
argument on this point has been going on
all evening and will be continued to.mor-
row. The filing Of this application by the
Attorney General has renewed the excite
ment Of few days ago, when It was first
rumored that such action was 10 be taken.
Should the writ be granted conflict will
ensue. The Governor holds that the Leg
islature adjudicated the matter, and that
i was the only power that can do so.
The militia is being reorganized by him.

TuEP. W. &K. REt1RoAD.-We have
been for some months impressed with q
belief that this enterprise was not pro-
crossing as satisfactorily as our people
bad been led to expect from tho Nssur.
Auces given them before their appfoptia-
ton 10 It was made, and as It's liberality
entitled them 10 expect; but we have
forborne to comment till we could have
some definite and tangible information
This was presented yesterday to the
County Commissioners, and Is printed In
our columns this morning in the shape
Of the engineers report. From this II
appears that the resources at command
Of the company are insufficient to com
plete the work by the sum Of over $22,-
900. The Commissioners yesterday sub
scribed $4,000 of this and ordered It's
payment in cash; and Brooke county Is
expected to pay an equal sum.
1t appears from Ar, BEcKER's report
that the expenditures Uncluding unpaid
llabllitieS up to April SOth, amounted to
t28S,7SS; that $4,000 more are required
10 complete the work; and that the re-
sources Of the company arc $4,000, leaV-
lng,ss We have said, . deficiency Of S2s, 900.
This makes the cost as now estimated ex'
ceed the original estimate by nearly $780,
400. Mr.. BECKER explains that this e1-
cess Is due chiefly to the fact that the
contracts were let too low and the con-
tractors failed to fulfill their obligations
The contracts thrown up werc relct at
much higher prices, and good deal OF
work done was washed away in the inter
val OF delay thus caused. 1t will occur
to the business mind that low contracts
properly made ought not to increase
the cost OF an enterprise. Tho
FAULT was not in the low figures at
which the contracts were let but in the
failure to require the proper security for
their iulfllment. The responsibility oi
bidder,-his ability to perform what he
undertakes-is just as important an ele-
ment in letting a contract as the price.
The fact appears to be that many Of these
contracts were let to irresponsible parties
without security against loss to the COM
pauy, at figures that were possibly lower
than they could afford. Such manage
ment deserves censure, and VIC refer to II
in the hope that future contracts. will be
let In a more business like way.
The people ol this county have dealt
generously with this company, and they
have right to expect careful and con-
scieutious use of their money, They have
waited a good while for the completion
of the road, ready Tor the work to be done
by the Pennsylvania Central. MIR. BECKER
says 1t can be completed ready for the
track by the llrst OF September. We
trust no proper effort will bc omitted by
those having the work in charge to see
this promise fulfilled.

NEW YORK, June IA New Orleans

in which he says:
president Grant, as Chief Magistrate
oil the Nation, has assumed the high and
grave responsibility OF EOisting upon the
people Of this State q usprpation without
q precedent In this or any other free
country, and he Is answersble before the
bar Of public opinion for this high hand
ed measure. The President with the

ical power: TO cOerce the people ol this
State into any line Of policy he may be
pleased 70 dictate, andsit would be but
Jolly and madness 10 interpose. Resist
anCe is likely TO bring up q conflict with
the national authority, yet the deaply
fixed sentiment Of irrepressible hostility
in the minds and hearts Of an outraged
people, against the vilest usurpStion ever
attempted TO be fastened upon freemen,
will find ,their, scope and vent l advise
that thes6 manly and patriotic sentiments
take form and shape through all moral
and legal agencies possible to be devised,
In the meantime trust peace and order
may reign supreme throughout the State
and that all our Industrial pursuits will be
unembarrassed by political differences,
and especially do l urge upon the people
Of two races, who are numerically nearly
equal In this State, to cultivate, one to-
