The Courts.

The long contested case of Keno vs..
Steamer Carl Schurz has again been
argued, renewed and continued until
Monday, in the United States District
Court, Judge Il. S. Hammond pre-
siding. Monday is motion day in the
United States District Court.
Mr.. j. S. Devall has been admitted
to practice in the United States Dis
trict Court.
In the Criminal Court the following
cases we're on trial this morning
Frank Lilly, Henry Wood, Ella Purdy,
M. Speich, George w. Mathew, D.
Hammer, Charles Wilkins and Ben
Gass.
His Honor Judge Ray gives notice
hat all parties who are on bond for
their appearance before the Criminal
Court, and whose cases have not been
continued for the term, must appear
in open court next Monday to answer
to the indictments against them, or
forieitures will be positively taken.
Chief Justice Deaderick, of the
Supreme Court, has decided in the
case Of ?. G. Steele VS.. w. c. Blanton,
tax collector, as follows:
The question presented in this re-
cord is whether levying a tax by the
County Court, it is sufficient that a
majority Of the justices composing said
court shall be present merely, or
whether it is essential to the validity
of such levy that a majority of the JUS
tees of the county shall vote afirma-
lively for such levy. Section 419O of
the code, under title 6, chapter |.
which treats 'of the organization and
order of business of the County
Court provides hat "a majority Of
all the magistrates of the county is re-
quired to levy a tax or to appropriate
public money to an amount over fifty
dollars. The next section gives to
one-third or twelve justices the power
to appropriate money, not exceeding
fifty dollars, for county purposes. The
other sections of this chapter prescribe
the number of justices who may do
certain acts, or as necessary to consti-
tute a court. And we think this
whole chapter has reference to, and
provides for, the organization Of the
court, and that section 4l90 does not
say, or mean, that a majority of all the
Justices of the county are required to
vote afirmatiyely upon a proposition
to levy a tax, but that it means that a
majority of all the justices of the
county is necessary to the constitution
Of a court having the power to levy a
tax; and that a majority of those con
shutting a court thus empowered to
levy a tax, may levy it. The circuit
judge so held, and we affirm the judy
ment.

Of different prominent people as they
fell from their lips, with the following
result
Judge Archibald Wright have
not read the message, nor do / ex-

that lengthy article in Wednesdays
paper? l didn't read it. Business
and "Parthenia absorb my time
just now.
Geo. Gantt-I have not read the
document-will try to do SO tonight.
One of our young men happened to
stumble upon Colonel Estes as he
stood toasting his toes before a glow
ing CRATE. The colonel evidently was
out of spirits, as will be perceived by
the conversation that followed
Pub. Led. J. M.-Well, colonel,
what do you think Of the governors
message2
Colonel E.-The governor be blank
ed! I've got more important matters
to attend to than reading a blank lot
of blank trash, by blank, sir
Pub. Led. j. M.-Then you have
not read the MESSAGE
Colonel E.-No, by blank, sir.
Judge T. W. Brown have heard
remarks concerning its contents, but
have not read it. From heresay
knowledge it only confirms an opinion
long since formed regarding Governor
Porter and his general ability as well
as capacity.
Prof. Barney Hughes--I am happy
to say that | have not read the docu-
ment, but have an opinion regarding
its wisdom and get up. | am in favor
Of abolishing the p%eRitentiary, and
giving all yellow fever heroes and ex-
perts a gold watch and brass medal.
James Speed, Esq.-No sir, / have
not read the message. You can't get
any Scalawag news out Of me. Does
it favor a union railway depot, and the
right to run tracks through the city?
If so, / indorse it.
General G.. W. Gordon-I have
not perused it, sir,
7. NJ. s. Rhett.-No, | havn't
scanned it, my law business sir, is
more important.
William H. Carroll.--I have not.
Life is too short to waste it in anything
of the sort. Interview Mr.. James
Glass on the subject.
John Donovan-No, l haven't read
it. What do you ask me that for2
Thos. Boyle, Esq.-NO, sir. But |
expect to read it tomorrow morning
early.
Chief Of Police Athy-Yes, | have
read the message, but | have no opin-
ion to express on the subject. Have
not formed any either as to the merits
or good taste.
Henry i. Lynn have only read
it az far as it treats Of State finances.
The governor is crazy on the subject
of paying the State debt. He paid
100000 mostly of the States past due
coupons, dollar for dollar, when they
were worth but 40 cents. This | cite
