THE LATE COUPON CAsE-A LAWYERS
LICENsE.--In the Hastings Court yesterday
morning, in the case of William L. Royal
Us. Greenhow, Treasurer, it being an appli-
cation for mandamas to compel Greenhow
to receive coupons in payment OF Mr.. Roy
ALPS license as a lawyer at their face-value,
Judge Christian said to Mr.. Royal: " You
will recolect that when you presented this
petition to me expressed grave doubts
as to whether it was not concluded by
the Judgment OF the Court Of Appeals in
Hartman Us. Greenhow, although that was
the Judgment OF divided court. There
upon you asked leave to refer me to au-
thorities to show that was at liberty, not
wlthstanding the judgment in that case, to
pass upon the question myself. I have eX-
amined the cases to which you refer me, but
I am not satisfied that have the right to do
so, rs / consider this to be substantially the
same question that was involved in that
case" Thereupon Mr.. Royal said that as
his Honor felt himself embarrassed by this
preliminary question he would ask leave to
withdraw his petition. The leave was given
and the petition was withdrawn.

abide any action taken by the City Central
Conservative Committee.

enough is~known to state authOritatively
that majority of the new committee are
opposed to primary election or nomi-
mating convention unless rendered necessa-
ry by subsequent events. All the candi-
dates are good Conservatives, and will, in
case Of emergency, submit their claims to

THE ITALIAN VICE CONSUL AT RICHMoSD.-
This position, which was held for many
years by the late D. Won. Gronin, Esq, has
remained vacant since his death. Several
weeks since Richmond citizens Of Italian
birth, who are both numerous and respect
able in this city, initiated movements with
view to supplying the vacancy. A petit
ton signed by all the heads of Italian fam
lilies. as well as many others OF the same na-
tionality here, was forwarded to Consul
General De Luca, at New York, praying the
bestowal of the Office on Mr.. John A. Piz-
zini, a well-known citizen, amply qualified,
both by birth and education, for the eff
cent discharge OF consular duties. In re-
ply to the request contained in the petition
communication has been received in
this city from Signor De Luca, conveying
the intelligence that the application OF his
countrymen in Richmond had been ap-
proved by him and forwarded to the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs at Rome, with re-
quest for authority to make said appoint
ment.

In reply 10 yours just received, asking what eject
DIR. Pierce,s medicines had on me, would say thrae
years ago expected 70 die with consumption. had 8
long suffered with catarrh my throat and lungs were
badly affected and my system was rapidly breaking
down. h,d tried many physicians and remedies
without benefit Having 81 en- good results follow
the use OF DR.. Pierce's Medicines resolved TO give
them thorough trial. III six months time was
entirely cured. No medicines stand higher. In my
estimation, than Or. P1erce's Golden Medical Dis-
coyery and DIR. Sage,s Catarrh Remedy. They not
only saved my life, but have made me hearty and
strong man. Very truly yours, 8. 81. Irwin.
