The Supreme Court Decision.

Tho decision of the Supreme Court in the
case Of Forstall against the board of liqui-
dation, appears in full in the REPUBLICAN
this morning. The deciaion is elaborate and
exhaustive, and sets at rest many points
that have been or may be in dispute. The
point in the decision of greatest public con-
sequence is set forth in tho following para
graph:
All holders of bonds. therefore, issued by
the board [of aliquidation] under this act,
are protected IN their rights. The Legisla.
ture can pass no law affecting their validity,
for this would be impairing q contract
already oonsummated.
Thus the bonds issued by the funding
board have received the affirmation of the
highest legal power. Their status is now
clearly established. They are beyond the
reach Of any power short of constitu-
tional conversion or . vote of the people at
the polls at . general election. The last
hepe of the dissatisfied holders of old State
securities has vanished; and it y to be pre-.
sumed, now, that the board will have about
all shat it can. attend to in funding old
outstanding securities held at home and

The Charges Against Avery
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says:
The following are the essential points Of
the Indictment under whicbW> o. Avery,
late chief clerk of the Treasury, was to-day
arrested. The indictment presents that
Alfred Beyis and Edward B. Fraser, about
July /. 1875, carried on the business Of dis:
tillers, with intent to defraud the United
States Of the internal revenue tax Of seven
y cents per proof gallon of spirits; that
William o: Avery, being An officer and
the Internal Revenue Department, and
chief clerk. ON tho first of July, 1873, did 1Ail
to report to his next superior officer, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the vio.
lation of law committed by Bagis & Eraser.
The second count charges Avery with,
as chief clerk, "failing to report said viola
tion." The third count charges that
Avery, as head of division, on the first of
July, 1873, did corrpptly conspire and col-
lude with the following persons: John

roy, Alfred Bevis, Edward B. Fraser and

The ring of foreign holders Of Louisiana
State securities have made long and vigog-
GUS opposition to the operation Of the fund
ing act. The following 1etter seceived by
Governor Kellogg yesterday; indicates that
these holders, having no longer any hope of
winning their fight, are preparing to sur
render gracefully TO the inevitable:

No. 10 MOOrgate street, ,
London. Z. c., July l6. 1851
HIS Excellency William P. Kellogg. Governor of
the State OF Louisiana, New Orleans Louisiana:
DEAR SIR have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter of the
eighteenth ultimo, in which you state that
the courts will most probably affirm the
validity of issue of bonds now under in
functions, the State b aving virtually no de.
fense. The council hopes shortly to hear
that such decisions have been made by the
courts.
The committee of Che Stock Exchan ye at
Rotterdam have recently addressed the
council on the subject of Louisiana bonds,
which they inform us are held in Holland
to large amount. l have the honor, there
fore, in accordance with the wish of the
Rotterdam Stock Exchange, to request that
it possible, an agency be opened IL. Europe
for the conversion of the bonds.
The council are of opinion that compli-
anoe with this request is no more than is
due to the bondholders by the State of
Louisiana.
1 have the honor to be your most ODE.
dent servant,
HYDE CLAhK, Secretary.
The request of the council that an agen-
cy be opened in Europe for the exchange Of
bonds, it will be, under the existing law,
impossible to grant; although, in considera-
ton Of the great amount of work to'be ac-
complished, the Legislature may see fit to
authorize the board to take trip to Europe
next summer.

There is little sermon in this as good as
could beeiven by q one hundred thousand
dollar preacher: "a young man who is en-
tering upon life witha fair reputation feels
that hes possesses treasure above all
price, and he will be likely to guard it
from The contamination of evil; he will
also be excited to make higher and still
higher attainments in excellence. Char
sacter is like stock in trade-the more of it
a man possesses the greater are his facili-
ties for making additions teit; or it is like
an accommodating fund, constantly increas-
ing in value, and daily acquiring to itself
fresh accessions of stability and worth"
