accomplish this all party ties were dropped and
practical reform commenced. A town ticket WAS
selected, the Collector auc Supervisor being the
sanc elected last year. whose record has been snci,
that they need no com1ncndat!on from me-. The
Assessor is wclf-known citizen, formerly IN the

TIE RAILROADS..


7: SANDusKr, O., March 31.-This city is greatly
excited over the change in the management Of
the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland Rail
road. So fas as known, Rush r. Sloane got an
order from Judge Finncfrock, Of Fremont, yes
terday, for the appointment Of james Il Lea as
Receiver. Lea tiled his bonds and took pos
session this morning. Sloane is the real manager
of the road. Orders have been received to dis
charge all the men employed br the late Boston
managers, and complete change will be made
in the personnel OF the Company. The change
will involve suit at law which will probably
end in the supremacy Of the late managers. IN
this city, however, the popular feeling is against
the late management, not because OF any luye
for Sloane, but because OF tho discharge, from
time to time, OF Saudusky mcn By the Boston
managers. Sloane is juhlant. He Is ION deck :"
and i'll possession. Moderate men regard it as
shrcwd trick, which, Tor TING, is successful
Sloane has many warm friends, who are rejoic-
lAy over his success.

IIcr Suit AEninst Her 1sung1inE Lawyers,
Specfal Dispatch to The Tribune.
New YolK, March 3l.-Tho Supreme Court
h,s reversed the decision of the lower Court,
and grants Lucca u new trial Of the suit against
her former lawyers, Richard s. Ncwcombe aud
David Leycntritt, whom she employed to pro-
cure her IL divorce from Count Won Rhadc. The
attorneys profcsscd to have fulfilled their agrec
mcnt, and gave Lucca her divorcc-papcrs,
whcrcupon she remarked. Won Rhade after
ward turned up, aud had the judgment against
him set aside because of gross legal irrcgu1ari-
ties. Chief-Justice Davis, who writes the opin-
ion Of the general term, gives warning and ad-
vice to the legal fraternity. lie says the
evidence tended strongly to show, first, that all
these irregularities were unknown to the Baron
ess Won Wallhofen at the time the certified
copy of the iuddment was presented to her by
the respondent, and that she made payment OF
the 1000 under the agreement believing it had
been fully performed by the defendants, and
that her divorce was cifectual and complete
She was afterwards married to her present hus-
band, and ut such marriage .he respondents
were Witnesses. This state OF facts tends con-
c]usyely to show that at the time the $4,000
were pad on the agreement the respondents
were not eutitlcl to receive any portion Of It,
