THE OTTAWA rowr BOND DECISION.

4 month or two ago we announcer tha'
the case carried up to the Supreme Court Oh
the Un,ted States, involving the validity OF
the bonds issued by the towns OF Ottawa and
South Ottawa, as well as by other towns on
the line of the Fox River Valley railroad, had
been decided acains, the towns and that we
should probably have the bonds to pay. La
ter, however, we also informed our readers
that re.he4ring of the case in the supreme
Cour, of the [. S. had been obtained, and now
we are enabled to state that on that re nearing
the former decision has been reversed, and
the decision is now that the bonds are not val
id and the towns will not have them to pay.
The decision we understand to be final.
Tie question was made on the validity OF the
law under which the towns voted the bonds.
In our circuit and State Supreme Court il
was decided that the law had never been le-
oallv passed and that the bonds issued under
! il were therefore void 0b iattt0. When the
same case came before the |. 5. Circuit Court
Judge Drummond, on demurrer, decided that
the non passage OF the law was not sufficient
defence That decision the Supreme Court
of the L. ), now revcrses on the ground that
il is the duty of the L. S. courts TO follow the
decisions of the highest state courts on such
questions. OF course, then, when the case
gets back to Judge Drummond's court, he
will be obliged to obey the mandate of the
Supreme Court of the |. 5. and recognize
and accept and follow the decision of the
Supreme Court of this state which declared
that the act in question had never been legal
ly passed, and that the bonds issued under il
were therefore void.
Without pretending to 60 into the equities
or morallties of the case, the discussion OF
which at the present stage would at least be
progtless, 1t only remains TO be said that for
the gratifying relief this decision brings our
citizens from an onerous load OF indebtedness,
they owe about all their gratitude to Andrew
Lynch, ESQ -Four or five years ago he began
to lcok into the question, and after reading
more law than is necessary to admit com
mon iledgllng 10 the bar, he satisfied himself
that our people were neither legally moi
equitably bound to pay those bonds, and lie
persitently ever afterwards followed the case
through all its various stages OF litigation
taking most of the pecuniary risks upon his
own shoulders and advancing most Of Il c
costs as they accrued, until finally his efforts
are crowned with triumph. II is not only
creditable in a high degree to his persistence
and pluck, but also to his good judgment and
forecast in having been able to forsee the tri.
umphant conclusion ut the end OF such u tan
gled maze Of protracted litigation.

HOME MATTERS.
Township Election.

Matters in reference to the principal officers
to be elected at our general town meeting next
Tuesday have materially changed and simpliHei
themselves since our last SO that in regard to
the apprenticeship, at least,we can!dsmiss anxi
ETY.. Mr. Andrew Lynch, who has served our
people With such marked ability in the board of
supervisors for the last six or seven years, con-
sents to he reelected, which ought to settle the
matter SO far as the principal supervisor is con
cerned. Mr.. Lynch finds himself compelled to
change his previous determination in the mat
ter, on account of the late decision of the Su.
prone Court in regard to our Fox River railroad
town bonds That decision involves action on
the part Of the supervisors of considerable i'm.
portance, and settlements and adjustments that
render it almost indispensable that Mr.. Lynch
should be in the board.
In regard to assistants, the sky also looks
brighter. Mr.. Nicely, who has made such an ex-
cellent supervisor for several years past, consents
to a re election and we presume will have no op-
position. Mr. Stout, the other assistant, than
whom we certainly could have no better, although
he had decided to decline reelection, we un.
derstand ROW yields to the importantly of his
friends and consents again to be a candidate.
Questions of vital Importance to Ottawa may
come up before the board during the next year
There must soon be decision in regard to new
court house, or new jail, or both, and with men
like Lynch, Stout and Nicely on the board our
people need have no fear that their interests will
| be neglected.
| As to assessor, the only candidate we see an
nounced is Arthur Lockwood, an excellent man
who will probably have no opposition.
| For collector the candidates are numerous, in
Guiding John 7. Burke, Il. o. Black G. w Raw
ems, F. s King, and Daniel Mahcr, with ward
or two yet to hear from
| John q. Armstrong, we believe, is the only
candidate for clerk
| For justices of the peace the candidates, so far
as we know, are Arthur Lockwood, A. B. Smith,
A. 4. Fisher, V. B. Weeks and Chas NJ Rees.
As there are five to elect, this leaves just enough
candidates TO satisfy all around.
| For constables, where five also are to be elect
| ed, the candidates are more numerous, including
John Murray, D. E. Tucker, r. Harrington, Jus
tus Harris, NJ X. Riordan, Thos. Simon, Patrick
Daily, r. T. Murphy, G. &. Lutz, John W. Brown,
and - Seely.

THE HAYES RECORD FOR THE WEEK.

Hayes having broken all his pledges TO the
south, made both in congress before the cleo
toral count was completed, and IN his inaug-
ural address, the cheated parties have been
coming back on him during the week in a
way that threatens to be unCommononly un-
pleasant. To escape the disgrace Of his per
fidy, Foster anda Stanley Matthews, through
whom chiefly his bargain was made, have
venturcd mildly 10 deny that any written
compact was entered into. This at once put
Gordon, John Young Brown, Lamar and 9th.
ers on their mettle, and they have begun to
publish a few of the letters of Stanley Mat
thews and Foster, showing their solemn
promises in behalf of Hayes in black and
white. The only escape these worthless now
try to make from their unpleasant predlca-
ment is the disreputable one that while Hayes
friends may have made some such bargain,
Hayes himself had no hand In it. This is
met by the positive statement Of Brown, Cor.
don and Others that Foster had shown them
letters ra,itying all his and Stanley Matthew'S s
engagements from Hayes himself. This Is
the present situation in regard to Hayes bro.
ken bargain with the south, that ifthe south
ern members would defeat the fllbuster
movement in the house TO prevent Hayes
from being counted in, his first act after his
inauguration should be to remove the L. S.
troops from Columbia and New Orleans.
However, while Hayes has thus shown his

honestly with the south. To this end he has
devised the transparent dodge Of sending a

sion with Wheeler What sort of an investi.
cation and compromise such men will make
requires no special saEacity to foresee.
And finally, to get rid of the South Carroll

over, an invitation which both Of the govern
ors accepted, and both are now in Washing
