THE GREAT DREW POOL SUIT.

All the details OF the great pool formed In De-
cember, 1871, in the Toledo. wabash aud Western
Railroad stock, OF which Daniel Drew was the
''nead and 'front.'" have already been published In
the HERALD. The usual agreement In such cases
was drawn up and duly signed by the various
parties interested in the pool. The dispute arose
as to the final settlement Of the accounts, and the
result was suit brought by Azarish Body, one
Of the parties to the pool against other parties
As margin Tor the IL 500 shares Of stock subscribed
for by him, Mr.. Body deposited with Kenyon, Cox
Co. 500. 900 in Decatur and East st. Louis SINK
ing lund bonds and $75,0 in cash. On the lst of
November 1872 there was on hand So, 500 shares OF
stock. which, 1t was claimed. had cost
that mis- proportion OF the stock on hand
was $4,000 shares, which stock was held at
cost including interest and expenses OF
81, 192, 936 49, No account OF the TRANSACTIONS OF
the pool was rendered to Mr. Body until the 7th
OF January, 1873 such account being rendered by
this accounting and claimed that all the parties TO
the pool should render an account under their
own hands OF the transactions Of the pool.
He claimed that under the original agree.
ment he was entitled to an accO unit, not
only OF the stock purchased for the
stock by the various parties to the pool. Judge
Van Brunt gave mis- decision IN the case yester-
dav, on O demurrer lnterpOsed TO the complaint.
His decision, which Is embodied In a lengthy writ
ten opinion, announces the conclusion that "the
plain tiff Is entitled to Judgment for an account
under the agreement OF December e. 1871, but he
Is not entitled to an account OF the individual
transactions OF the managers In Wabash stock
during the period embraced by the agreement"

The P0L1CY FOR DEMOCRATS.
In regard to the National De-
mocratic Convention in 1876, Mr..
Bayard said: Discussions in re-
gard to its action wonl1 ho at this
ime, Of course, premature, The
duty Of the democratic party in
the meantime is to maintain its
organization by insisting upon an
adherence to its time-honored and
constitutional principles. Its great
object should be to obtain the con-
fidence of the country, and the
only way to do this is to prove
that they deserve the confidence
Of this country. There should be
80 avoidance Of any important is
sue, and the personal ambition OF
candidates should be totally dis
regarded, and the interestsand vel.

not only seem to be, but be in fact,

key in his pocket.
" Ard now for my revenge" he con.
tinued, drawing two pistols from his
pocket. " You see they are both alike
