An important Decision.

The case Of Jerome J. Kinds, the TelLkno-~
mail contractor, against John and George ALL
raau suit to enforce the settlement of the affairs
of q copsrtnership which Kinds AYERS existed be-
tween himself and the Altman, came up in the
Equity Court yesterday.
Messrs. W. A. Cook and Charles Pelham ap-
pesred for the complainant, and Gen. H. H Wells
and ex-Attsrney General Williams for the de-
fendant. The suit had been brought in the early
part of August, Kinds alleging in his bill that he
was q copartner of Altman in certain con-
tracts for carrying the mails in California and
asking that the sixth Auditor be restrained from
settling the accounts of Altman until his rights
in the case were fully protected. preliminary
order Issued on the 4th Of August as Of cause er
pdTfe, and the accounts have been unsettled since
that time. The case came up for hearing on
motion to continue the restraining order.
Judge Olin held that the jurisdiction OF the
courts Of the District could not be exercised to
determine the methods by which the Auditors Of
the Departments should settle their accounts
Otherwise all the accounts Of the Government
concerning which there were private disputes
might be brought into court for settlement, q re-
suit that could have not been intended. He,
therefore, ordered that the restraining order be
dissolved and an Injunction refused. The case
was continued to adjust the question Of copart-
