New York. June 3O.-The Times in
an editorial says:
The campaign opens auspiciously,
with a candidate for president attract

repel the financial theories held by
Tilden. The doctrines concurred in by
Hendricks are both absurd and mis-
chievous.
Upti yesterday the only newspaper
support which Tilden had in this city
came from the Sun and News. The
Express, which denounced him us a
corrupt jobber who was unfit to be
nominated, and a weak candidate, who
under no circumstances could carry
the State, swallows his nomination
with a very wry face, but plainly an

WILLIAM A. WHEELER AS A TRUS
TEE.
A Suit Brought by a Railroad Conn
pany TO Recover 100000.

Some time prior to 1860, William A.
Wheeler, John S. Eldridge of Boston,
and Geo. w. Brown Of Ogdensburg, were
appointed trustees Of the Ogdensburg,
st. Lawrence and Lake Champlain
Railroad. The annual salary of each
trustee was fixed at $4,000. In 1865, the
stockholders Of the company, realizing
that the trustees were grossly misman-
aging the road, instituted proceedings
in the supreme court for their removal.
In 1866 an order was granted by court
empowering the stockholders to reor-
ganize the company. Mr.. Wheeler,
knowing that 4 reorganization would
remove him, and learning that under
the code of practice in this state no ap-
peal could be taken from the order OF
the court, secured the passage through
the legislature of an amendment to the
code of procedure that rendered such
orders appealable. Armed with copy
of the law, he threatened to appeal from
the order unless the stockholders would
compromise with him by paying to him

desirous of getting rid OF the trustees,
and unwilling to submit to the delay
consequent on an appeal from the order.
consented to Mr. Wheeler's terms, and
paid him and his associates 100000
After the company had been reorganized
a suit was brought against Messrs
Wheeler, Eldridge, and Brown to re-
cover the S6O, 900. One of the company
counsel was Edwards Pierrepont. The
justice before whom the case was
brought was a relative of one Of the
trustees, and it was therefore removed
to the United States Supreme Court
where it is still pending. Since the sui
was begun Mr.. Eldridge and MIR. Brown
have died.

A KNOTTY PROBLEM.
How u Mystery was Sol. ed

An accident transpired in this city, a
few days since, which might properly
form good supplement to the Comedy
of Errors" Two husbands, two wives,
and knot-hole, were mixed up in the
affair, as follows: In one of the fashion
able localities OF the city there are two
families living in double house. A
high-board fence separates the back
Yards, and at the further end ofthe fence
there is large knot-hole. 1t seems that
the two wives in the two families are on
very intimate terms, but petty jealousies
have for some time made the heads of
the family at loggerheads. Husband
No. and husband No have each seen
his spouse repair to that knot-hole near
ly every morning, but each, owing to
the fence being high, did not know who
was on the other side. No. l at last
tired of this procedure and thought he

tanning on the other side of that knot
hole. No. took the same notion into
his head on the same morning. Both
crept up to the hole and No. l did not

The latest grain intelligence from the
Canadas is that it falls short of the reg
ular supply by 100000 bushels Of
wheat. From England we have intor,
nation of a short crop, and Russia also
is behind her usual average. AS all o
these, more especially the former, mus
look to the United States to supply the
deficit, the wheat trade here may very
soon experience an upward tendency
