sr<e'al Di*pakeh to The Chicago IFr1bun<.
CARnoLLroS, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-Judge Cyrus
Fplc1 hns just closed two.weeks term OF the
Green County Circuit Court. The most i'm
portant suit Lefore tho Court was that OF the
People, for the uso OF the county, against N. J.
Andrews, Shorid, and others, in action
OF Debt On Collectors bond. in which
demurrer to declaration had been made. The
case is one in which tae interests Of the people
by the Hons. c. D. Hodges, A. G. Burr, and D.
II. Woodsou, OF Carrolltou. and the Hons. II. D.
Du11mer and William Brown, OF Jacksonville, for
tho defense. and by the Hon. Mr.. Pogue,
Of JersoyVilo. for tho peoplo. The Court
overruled tho demurrer, and, in pass
ing upon tho question. decided that
the Sheriff is ex-otjcio County Collector; that
the two constitute but one office. entitled to but
one salary, as prescribed by the Constitution.
The Court also decided that the term County
Board, as used in Sec. 10 o. Ars. in the Con-
stltutio0, mcan3 the county authority author
lied to traosact the county business whether
that be the Board Of Supervisors. County Com
missioners, or the old County Court; that
tho old court, prior to December, 1873,
WAS authorized to i1 the compensation for coun-
IL officers under the Constitution that it was
tho duty OF the Sheriff Collector to pay over to
the County Treasury all the commissions allowed
him by tho statute for collecting the reveuue.
over and above the compensation aud expenses
allowed him by order of the County Court.
On the oyerruling OF the demurrer, the de-
fondants ASKED an! Obtained leave to plead, and
the cause WAS continued.

SPORTING MATTERS.
REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

REVIEW oF THE WEEK.
Though the sporting events OF the week have
not been very numerous, especially for this pleas
ant season Of the year, few OF them have been
highly important, aud have received that degree
Of general attention which they deserved.
BASE BALL.
Bafe ball matters have been pretty lively. and,
for wonder, we can look back at what
has been doue without being compelled to
turn away ashamed at the figure out By our own
club. The two duest displays Of the season were
made by the White Stockings at Hartford and
Boston, Saturday aod Hondav, but thoFe is oTery
reason to fear that tho exhibitions Of skill were
altogether spasmodic. Saturday they met
ths Hartforls and defeated them in q
fnely-pla:ed game by score Of II to l,
the single run being unearued, and not
made until tho last iurin9 WAS almost over.
From the Connecticut capital they went to Bos-
ton impressed doubtless, with tho belief that
they stood no chance Of winning q game from
the red-hosad representatives, Of that city. But
great VAS the aslonishment Of the entiro count. =
at the result Instead OF being defeated, which
everybody expected they would be, they admin
istered tho soundcet drubbing to the Bostons
that that club has ever received, either I'd at
present organized, or when securing the country
in the interest Of Cincinnati, the score at
the close being 10 to 0 in favor OF tho Wliites.
Ibis rnasniticent victory over tho first club in
tho country has had tho natural effect Of raising
tho hopes of the White Stockings friends to
verv high pich but it is not probable thar it will
materially uIcct the position Of the club in tho
raco tor the championship. Wednesday they
met tho Bo=tons again, AMI played rather loose
ga,ne, losing by score OF Il to Z.
Tho o.her gdme OF the week WAS between
the Mutuas and Athletics, Tuesday. in which the
former were victorious By score Of to }.

NATIONAL BANK NOTES.


Tho Redemption Bureau Suspcnds
Operations for the Present.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 19.-The National
Bank Redemption Agency gives notice thai, in
consequence Of the exhaustion Of the s per cent
fund and the failure Of tho National Banks to
make prompt and general response to the re-
quest for an additional deposit Of $ per cent OF
their circulation, it has become necessary
to stop tue redemption Of National
Bank notes for short time. Remittances of
National Bank notes, which are now in transit,
will bo counted md paid for. but those remitted
after this date will be held until notice ,s given
OF the resumption of redemptions. Meanwhile,
the whole force of the agency will be employed
on the assortment of notes already redeemed, in
order to enable it to make calls upon bnnks to
reimburse the Treasury for their redemption. It il
hoped the redemption will be resumed within TWO
or three weeks. The cessation Of reilemptions
need not prevent compliance with the call for
tho additional per cent deposit. The larger
the amoun: Of legal tenders deposited under the
call, the soooer the agency will be enabled to re-
sumo redemptious. There seems to DO some
misunderstanding as to the operation Of
the additional calI. Deposits made under the
c1ll will be treated simply IS advance
from the banks to reimburse the Treasury for
their notes redeemed. but not yet assorted. As
fast as notes shall be assorted, their amount
will be charged against the additional deposit.
and 10 request for reimbursement will be made
upon tho b1nks making the deposit until it shall
ha exhausted.
