4 nore fe,fecs luton, or a Perfect Union.
sHa1l 1t be UhicJ. or WAether
To the Editor of The GLOBE.
At the meeting of the Board of Trade and
citizens of this city yesterday, to consider
the report of the committee on the question
above indicated, I was much surprised at the
Division, by all who advocated the adoption
of the report. 1t was in effect that the basis
of more perfect union proposed in the report,
was unequal, unfair, and uni ust to the West
Division, but that it was the only basis which
the people of the East division would con-
sent to. Il was admitted that the proposed
union, perfect union. scheme originated with
East side residents, thai they were inclined to
it on the proposed basis, but wonld consent
to no other. if | understood it's advocates.
] would just here enquire if this can be true,
and if SO, where does the honesty of the
scheme come in? [ confess Il can't see
it,"
At present the East Division is represented
in the council by two-ffths of it's members;
it pays about one-eighth the taxes and has
one fourth the children within school age, of
the whole city, and also of the population.
These are lovely brethren on the East Side!
There are few of the West Division resi-
dents who have some hope that the city will
still exist and expect it also to grow little,
if the more perfect union should not be ac-
complished just yet. Perhaps if the matter
should be let rest awhile, some good may
come of it. Who knows bnt that the East
Division may become the chord which will
yet convert the cities Of Minneapolis and St.
Paul into a regular Siamese institution,
especially if the latter will allow herself to
be annexed to ex-commissioner Edwards,
pauper district. Any way, to add to our
common prosperity, even if only locally de-
veloped It can make but little difference
hundred years hence where the immediate
improvement may locate-it will help us all,
by St. Paul!

or by recognizing said Gcenses-as valid,
charge the sureties of Ortman for the miss
appropriation of money of which he was
never the custodian.
The said sureties will only be presumed to
have taken into consideration, at the time of
signing such bonds the duties of comptroller
as prescribed by the charter and ordinance,
and as such does not include the custody of
public money. they will not be held to have
taken such risk.
That said licenses being void in the hands
of the persons to whom they We're issued,
plaintiff was not damaged by the issuance Of
the same.
That the presumption that the
persons to whom such void licenses
were issued, relying upon the
supposed validity of the same omitted to
apply for and procure licences to be regular
ly issued. whereby plaintiff is presum ed to
have been deprived of the money which
would have been paid for the same, is too
remote to be considered in the action for
damages against the sureties of defendant
Ortman.
That plaintiff is entitled to recover of de-
PENDANTS the sum of S227.91, as and for the
city orders referred to in the finding of fact
herein, with interest from August 1, 1877,
at per cent.
That plaintiff is not entitled to recover of
defendants, Chute, Martin and Fisk, as and
for licenses irregularly issued by defendant
Ortman as stated in the findings Of the fact
herein.
Let judgment be entered accordingly.

ST. PAUL TRADE.
Weekty Rerte,c of the Wholesale Markets.
OFFICE OF TIE GLOBE,
ST pAuT. Feb.

Business iii nearly every department of trade has
been more healthy during the PAST week. In some
branches there has been decided Improvement, and
some Of our large houses report an increase over
last year at the time to considerable extent.
Commission men have been buster, but have not
found collections what they should be at this time.
There has been marked Improvement in grain and
mill stufs With the latter, however, there has been
considerable amount brought into the market
heated and unsaleable, made from damp soft corn
which heats and cakes. There has been good bust
ness done in oats at lower quotations. Good dry
corn is also in demand and will realize from cent to
two cents above quotations.
Flour is being shipped to our market in larger
quantities than ever before, and In consequence
prices are rapidly declining, some dealers Offering
choicest family brands at $3.50 per 100 TBS retail.
In the lower grades Of butter nothing is doing,
and there is but very little of the higher grades in
the market Store packed is unsalcabe at 608c.
For choice bitter there is good demand at from Is
to 2oc wholesale. Solid packed sweet sound butter
of good color sells readily at 12S15c. The supply
of eggs is much greater than the demand and sales
are slow at lower figures. There is good demand
for fresh heavy poultry which quoted higher.
Fresh meats are frmer. Dressed hogs, heavy and
fresh sought after. Beef is in good demand, if
fresh and well handled, there is but little in the
market; inferior and stale meats with dull sales.
Mutton is offered in poor shape and finds pur-
chasers. There is moderate supply of veal readily
selling at 5(07c.
Grocery houses report business looking up, some
claiming an increase over last year at the same time
collections, however, not good they should
be. There changes in prices except &c ad-
1alice sugar and reduction of 1sc on kerosene.
In dry goods the early part of the week saw quite
brisk business. Boots and shoes are opening for
the spring quite promisingy. The st. Paul manu-
facturers quite busy shipping and quote collec
tons improving. The fur trade for the week has
been dull in the Eastern markets there is nothing
doing. There changes in hardware, but In
creased business with fair collections is reported
We refer to the following tables for details with full
confidence in their correctness:

Held IN the Sane of $e:7.0I, ,cith Interest
from. august 1st, 1877, at Z Per Cents
B0ndsnleM not Held for Money illegally
Receircd for Licenses.
In the case of the City of Minneapolis VS..
Ernest Ortman, and S. H. Chute, John Mar
tin and Woodbury. Fisk, his bondsmen,
Judge Young yesterday filed decision, the
principal points of which are:
That section 20, chapter 3, Of the city
charter referred to in the findings of fact
herein, which required the city comptroller
to examine and countersign the orders of
said city, drawn upon it's treasurer before the
same are delivered by the city clerk to the
persons entitled thereto, by fair implication
makes such comptroller the legal custodian
of such orders during the time requisite for
the discharge of such official duty by him.
Such possession and the official duty of the
comptroller i'll connection Herewith are
within the scope of his official bond and
therefore within the responsibilities assumed
by his sureties.
That the right of said comptroller to hold
such orders in his possession terminated as
soon as the same had been exa mined and
countersigned as required by the charter
and it then became his duty to Immediately
return them to the city clerk for delivery tc
the proper parties.
That said orders having been made pay
able to bearer the same might properly be
paid by the city treasurer, if presented III
the ordinary course of business, and under
circumstances which would not lead a prudent
man to suspect or question the legal title OF
the persons presenting the same.
That the failure of defendant Ortman tc
return said orders to the city clerk, as it was
his duty to do, whereby plaintiff was, by the
improper division of the same, damaged
constitutes a breach of his official bond, fol
which said sureties are liable to plaintiff fol
the damage so sustained.
That the charter of said city is public
act, and the ordinances enacted i'll accordance
Herewith have the force and effect of Law
Of which every citizen has presumptivt
notice and knowledge. The ordinance be
fore referred to, providing for the issuance
of licenses, entitled persons receiving licenses
Hereunder to the benefits of the same onl,
upon strict compliance on their part will
it's provisions. The persons named havin.
applied for and received licenses withou
first having paid the requisite sum into tn
city treasury, and presenting to the comp
troller receipts therefor, as required by sal
ordinance such licenses were absolutely void
That the licenses issued by defendan
Ortnlan i'll the manner shown, were nc

say that the reading was fine, that Mr.. Cope,
as a scholarly elocutionist, was superb, would

Information is daily being received at p.

son alias Trip, who was recently arrested
upon suspicion of having stolen property in
his possession. A letter from Marine Mills
convicts him of the larceny of clothes, and
the burning of an unoccupied house, and a
personal arrival from Hammond, Wis, proves
him to have stolen a whole load of hides.
He is also reported to have recently fred 10
shots at a posse Of sheriffs near Diamond
Bluffs, Wis, who were trying to capture him
as well as a horse he had stolen It is to be
regretted that the evidence was not sufficient
to retain him when the police force once had
their hands on him.
