Gen. John G. Fremont and his associ-
ates have been found guilty of fraud by
a Paris court, in the sale of Ell Paso
bonds. No notice to appear and defend
was served upon Gen. Fremont, who is
in this country, and the case went against
him by default. He was sentenced to
five years confinement as a punishment.
This sentence is good deal like the
Pope,s bull against the comet. It can
not be enforced unless Gen. Fremont
voluntarily places himself within the
jurisdiction of the court that pronounced
it. If he decides to appear in France
to ask that the default be opened, and
the case be tried upon its merits. and
his application be granted, he will prob
ably be able to show his entire innocence
in the transaction.

ner somewhat sensational and quite in
teresting. Regarding Jefferson Davis a
council of most distinguished jurists was
held at Washington, after the close of
the war, to determine whether he should
be criminally tried for high treason
This council was composed in part of
Attorney General Speed, VIM. NJ. Ev-
arts, and Judge Clifford. For obvious
reasons it was evident that the prosecu-
ton should in no case be undertaken un-
less it was morally certain that con-
vlction could be legally obtained, and it
was upon this question that the acumen
of the country was concentrated.
The conclusion to which the council
came after exhaustive study of the case
and of the United States laws bearing
upon it, was that there were insurmount-
able difficulties in the way of securing
conviction of the confederate president
and in consequence, legal proceedings,
which it will be remembered had al
ready been commenced against him,
were discontinued in manner that
seemed to the country entirely unac

DRY GOODS IMpoRTs.-The New York
Bulletins weekly report of the dry goods
market represents that the continued
stringency in the money market, and the
still advancing price of gold, have had
very depressing effect upon the foreign
dry goods trade, and the movement of
goods from the importers hands was
languid and unsatisfactory. The dis
turbing influences have presented them
selves at very unfortunate time for the
importers, who find themselves saddled
with heavy stocks of merchandise, which
are sparingly received by the distribu-
tors, even at the rates established before
the advance in gold, and upon which
they are utterly unable to obtain increas-
ed prices. Goods placed in the auction
rooms obtained prices which left no mar
gin of profit, but, on the contrary, en-
tailed severe loss in many descriptions
of goods. But 1t must be remembered
that very few foreign goods have, as yet,
gone into actual consumption, and there
is still enough for the prosecution of an
active business, although the lateness of
the seoson causes some anxiety as to the
future.

Financial troubles thicken in New

CONSERVATION as many merchants and
bankers are short. It was a serious
question whether to settle on the basis
OF that day or wait for decline. The
current opinion is that the Bulls have
the advantage and will push the rate up
higher. To complicate the situation,
the imports were unprecedentedly large
last week, being of the value of nearly
Sl4,o0o.ooo; s3,532,ooo dry goods and
So, 900 general merchandise. The
bank reserves also are some four million
dollars below the legal line. Here are
the elements of further financial disor-
der, and as things are working there
seems to be no escape from crash in
the near future. The treasury is utterly
powerless as its disbursements are heavy
at the present time, and it is feared the
monthly statement will show an increase

We learn that Mr.. John Currier of
North Troy, has nearly completed one of
the finest private residences to be found
in the State. Mr.. Currier has been dill

years. This country palace is said to
have cost over $4,000 and is situated
short distance out of the village on the
road leading to South Troy. The
site is one of the loveliest in the State,
being considerably elevated above the
village, and lends enchantment to the sur
rounding scenery. Really if Mr.. Curri-

FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ASSESS.
ORS.

The State board of Equalization has is
sued rules and regulations for the Govern
ment of Assessors in the different counties
of the State and likewise for the govern
ment of Supervisors sitting as County
Boards Of Equalization. 1t is required
that the assessment be completed on or be-
fore the first Monday OF July in each year,
and that all taxable property must be assess
ed at its full cash value. The equalization
of the respective County Boards of Equal
ization on or before the first Monday in
August, each year, and Code does not per-
nit any deduction from the full cash value,
on account of Indebtedness of the owner OF
any account whatever. Ifthere be any DIFF
6culty in ascertaining the ''full cash value"
of any property, real or personal, resort
must be had to the rule of Interpretation
prescribed by the Code, which is "the
amount at which the property would be APP
praised if taken in payment Of just debt
due from a solvent debtor"' We quote
rule 20 as follows: "What are known as
consigned goods, in the possession of any
person 10 this State, consi gned to such per-
son from any place outside of this State
fo- sale, required by section 1898 of
the Political Code TO be assessed as other
property. The only exception allowable to
this general requirement is in cases where
goods consigned from foreign State or
country remain, and at the time of the as
sessment are in unbroken or unopened orig
inal packages, in the hands of the importer
or cousignee." Hereafter growing crops
will not be assessed as such separately from
and having growing crop thereon, such
crop is to be considered as part of the land,
and as a constituent in estimating the val
ne thereof. 1t is made the duty of each
Assessor to supervise the Valuations placed
upon property by his deputies, and to cor
rect or change them according to his own
judgment. The assessor is not bound by
any statement of the value Of property made
by the owner, whether under olth Or not,
but is required TO "consider" said statement
merely, and then proceed and assess the
property at ''its full cashvalue." Person
al property mortgaged or pledged must be
assessed to the person in possession, as re-
quired by section 1887 but this applies
only to tangible personal property, not to
solvent debts, notes, bonds, warrants and
certificates of Indebtedness hypothetical
by the owner to another, by delivering or
transfering,the possession of the document

of security. Dogs, being property, they,
like other animals, must be assessed at
their full cash value. The rules are print
