CHIEF JUSTICE BRIDGEs.-Tbe editor of the
Bulletis has commenced laying down the law to
the Commissioners, in the bond matter, but,
strangely enough, he overiooks the very part Of
the law that bears upon the subject. 1t is quite
likely that the Board consulted their legal ad-
wiser, the County Attorney, and that he advised
them how to proceed. 1t is the County Attor-
pey's duty to advise with the Board, and to at
tend to all legal business of the County in the
Courts of the County. In the 9th Kansas Re
port will found a decision completely covering
this matter. The Court there decides that
q County cannot require the County Attorney
to go outside of the County, to other Courts,
without paying him extra fees, the same as if it
employed any other lawyer. To make it still
stronger, the case was that of ID. J. Brewer, now
one Of the Justices Of the Supreme Court. He
was County Attorney Of Leavenworth County,
and the County Board required him to attend to
a case in the United States Circuit Court, the
very Court in which the suit against Doniphan
County is pending. The Court, too met in
Leavenworth City, and he did not have to go
outside of his County. He sued for extra fees in
the case, was beaten in the District Court, and
appealed it to the Supreme CouIt, which gave
him his claim, deciding that such business was
outside the duties of a County Attorney. Less
than year ago, W. ID. Webb sued Doniphan
County for extra fees, for attending a case in
the United States Circuit Court, and Judge Otis,
in accordance with the ruling of the Supreme
Court, gave judgment in his favor. This decis-
ion has remained uncontestsd until Chief JUS
tice Bridges has stepped in and reversed it.
1t may be, in this case, that the Board wanted
to secure the services of "dark horse" to assist
the County Attorney!
Since the above was in type, q correspondent
has sent q communication referring TO the same
decision, which we print in annother column.

with immigrants coming TO agricultural
Dakota that thousands have within the
past, few months made permanent homes
upon the prairies Of our territory; that
where one person goes to the Black Hill, q
score come into eastern Dakota. Yet these
are facts. Therefore, il upon the ground Of
increased population an increased repre-.
sentation should be given the Hills, the en-
tire territory is entitled to the same treat
ment, and the result would be only greater
number of votes without additional advant-
age to any particular locality. But We
fully believe that the subject, Of representa-

An article published elsewhere in this
issue, gives the decision Of the Nebraska su-
preme court in the matter of the issue of
county bonds in aid of what is known as the
narrow gauge railroad, projected from Sioux
City to the Black Hills by way of Niobrara.
The court declares the bonds void. This is
the end of scheme which was etoutly re-
sisted by a considerable portion of the rea-
soning people in the counties aero the
river, and it has terminated favorably for
the taxpayers. Twenty-seven miles Of this
road was built and under operation, and
about forty miles was graded. Judge Love,
Of Des Moines, has been appointed as re-
ceiver for the defunct road and will wind up
it's business affairs.

Lincoln, Neb., Journal May s.
The following decision was rendered in
the supreme court yesterday: Simon Refine
man vs.. the Covington, Columbus and
Black Hills railroad, appeal from Cunning
county.
l. Until the adoption of the constitution
of 1875, the whole matter Of municipal aid
to works of internal improvement was with
in the sole control of the legislature, and
subject to no restraint other than such as
that body saw fit to impose.
2. Section 2 of article II of the constitu-
ton is to be taken as restrictive only upon
the exercise Of the legislative discretion in
the authorization of county and municipal
indebtedness in aid of railroads and other
internal Improvements. 1t fixes bounda-
ry beyond which the legislature cannot so,
but within which its authority is still SUI
preme.
8. The act of Feb. 15 1869, us amended
March 8, 1870, and Feb. II, 1875, enabling
counties, cities and precincts to issue bonds
to aid works OF internal improvement in
force at the adoption of the constitution,
is not in conflict with the section 2. article
IL, of that instrument, and is still in full
force.
4. As the law now stands, there is no war
rant for creating county Indebtedness in
aid of internal Improvements exceeding in
the aggregate 10 per cent. Of the assessed
value of the taxable property within the
city or county, and even this must be au-
thorized by at least two-,hirds of all the
votes cast on the proposition to extend such
aid.
5. When county votes aid to railroad
company in excess of the amount author
lied by law, it is simply void act, confer
ring no authority on the county commits
.ioners to issue bonds Of the county in any
amount whatever.
