Mr.. Davenport said the court has repo sed

owners becoming satisfied that some OF the
receivers were making vast private gains

and IN other ways, have offered testimo-
| ny on these points, which the court decides
| j. lnadmissible. This We are constrained TO
| believe l. the law of the case. and therefore
/ move that the petition of the bondholders lie
| on the table and that one or two special
masters be appointed to take an accounting.
| 10 furnish grounds, as the petitioners be-
| lIeye It will, for removal of the receivers.
Mr. Underwood replied. After this he
ought not to be surprised at ANYTHING. The
other side had been trying the case in the
street,and great deal Of buster has been
made. The case has been in court since
ls55, and the committee annually elected
by the bondholders TO audit the accounts of
the Trustees have performed their duties.
This petition contains allegations which
they do not claim they have sustained. and
they want to have it hanging over these
Trustees to damage their credit. The prose-
eution Is inspired by competing roads, and
the attorney ought to be compelled to dis
close by whom he l. employed.
The court then asked what it was pro-
posed TO do with the other two petitions.
Mr.. Brooks answered that as the Vt. K
Canada are not entitled to an account thew |
desire to have their petition for removal dis |
posed Of like that Of the bondhoders; but |
that for rent they desire to have heard now.
Mr.. Fifeld referred to the board of audit. /
which he said consisted of the bondholders' |
own agents, and contended that the find |
ings Of this board of audit were conclusive
upon the bondholders. They have not been
filed in court since 1867, and a. conse-
quence the Vermont Il Canada and the %
mortgage bOndholders have a right to have
the accounts examined. The continuance
OF this litigation will depress the securities.
and greatly embarrass the trustees.
ii. ;. Royce contended that the whole
case is open, rs well these proceedings As
the original proceedings The Court of
Chaneery is always open for the relief
sought.
The court then decided to take time to de-

New jersey has a spasm of emancipation
from the railroad thraldom under which
she has so long suffered. Tom Scott has
sustained an overwhelming defeat and the
great Jersey lines which through 50 many
years have carried the Legislature in their
pocket find they can no longer hold it. A
general railroad law has been passed which
authorizes any company to build competing
lines without having to fight the old COM
panies to secure a charter.
The Civil Service Examination Board of
the Treasury Department have made n re-
port, in which they say of the competitive
examination Notwithstanding unauthor-
lied and biased reports of the failure of the
system in this regard, the board has no
hesitation in saying that on the whole it
has secured a much higher order of capacity
than has lately entered the departments,
and has been sufficiently successful to prove
the advantage of its continuance"

Camp Apache Matters.

We are in receipt of items from
 Camp Apache up to July 29, from
 8 source which is reliable. At that
 date the Indians were quiet and we'll
 contented with their food and treat
 ment by Maj. Randall commanding
 the military and Agent Roberts who
 administers the civil power there.
 Now and then some difficulty occurs
 between the Indians, as on the 23d July, two parties, belonging to differ
 ent bands, got into fight near the post in which about thirty shots were
 fired and one squaw and one young
 buck were slightly wounded. Major
 Randall and Lieut.. Babcock promptly
 took detachment of men, surrounded
 the belligerents, captured the leaders
 and put them in the guard-house, and thus restored quiet and secured addi- tional respect of the combatants.
 Agent Roberts also took an active and creditable part in this matter. Maj. Randall started the ringleader of the row to Grant to await Gen. Crooks orders, but when at the Gila, August
 1, the prisoner escaped from the sen tinel, with his chain and 1O-pound ball attached, and we have not heard of his recapture.
 The horses stolen several weeks since from San Pedro and captured by Maj. Randall, are still at Apache awaiting the appearance of proper claimants. The Major is anxious to have losers of stock promptly forward a description of the brands to him, and those who do can be assured that if the stock is on the White Mountain | reservation, it will be promptly | hunted up and held subject to the owners identification and order.
 For good reasons, Mai. Randall re- gently ordered the Indians counted and rationed every four and six days instead of fifteen. Most of the chiefs objected to the order, but were most decidedly given to understand that if they did not all come up and obey it, the counting and rationing would be made daily; and also, if any left the reserve on that account, they would be followed with ample force to ad- minister any degree of punishment found necessary.
 It affords us great pleasure to say that all reports of Major Randall's are to the effect that he makes just and reasonable orders and them without regard to the Apaches' whims or objections. This course is bound to produce that fear in the Indian mind which has for its basis wholesome respect; and it is due to Agent Roberts to say that while he favors the kindest and most liberal treatment of his Indians consistent with tolerable order among them, he declares the presence of a | well-directed military force necessary, | and in this behalf cheerfully defers to | Maj. Randall.
