TREASURER MANN. DEFALCAT1oM
A Court ef Appeals Decision that may Save
Saratoga County $4,000.

SARATOGA, May 2O.-The Court OF Appeals
to-day rendered decision relative to the Mann
note SUITS which. II is claimed. will effect saw
ing to the county OF $4,000. After the defalca-
ton OF ex-County Treasurer Mann was made
public in 1876. 1t was discovered that many
large and illegal notes were outstanding. Judge
Crane suggested to the Board Of Supervisors
that tho remedy was by interpleader, to bring
the parties holding tho notes into ono suit. and
TO select in that suit the authorized notes from
those issued without authority. and thus avoid
n multiplicity Of suits Tho Legitimate debt Of
the county was 400 800. but the notes outstand-
ing aggregated sl3S 600 The interpleader suit
was brought about year ago. The supreme
Court and General Term decided against tho
county. but the court OF last resort revcrses the
decisions OF the lower courts. sustains the COM
plant. and oyerrules the demurrer. The de-
cision Is final. and entities the county to bring
the note holders in one suit and decide which
are and which are not valid notes. The nature
of the decision will cause postponement OF the
trial Of the suits which were set down for argu-
ment ON the 9th inst.

elders at Saratoga take hold OF this subject
and seriously consider whether the domi-

divduals at the expense Of the Presbyterian

be that each one OF the favorite pulpit

The WOLFE investigation at Harrisburg
has gone far enough to show that deliberate
and organized effort was made to buy up the
Legislature OF Pennsylvania to the support of q
bill providing that the State should assume the
payment Of the real and alleged losses caused
by the Pittsburgh riots in the summer Of 1871
1t has also been shown that the individual

Ingalls,.

At the opening Of the extra session, now
two months ago, distinct charges were pre-
icrrcd against Mr.. INGALLS,, Senator from
Kansas that he had procured his election
by bribery and corruption. These charges
were made by members Of the Legislature
and Others and in form that admitted Of
no evasion. They are either true, and Mr..
INGALLS, ought to be expelled from the Sen
ate, or they are false, and whoever Is re-
sponslblc for them ought to be pursued to
the full extent Of the law.
They were referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, Of which Mr.. In
CALLS is Il member. Instead Of taking
prompt steps for searching investigation
10 meet these accusations, Mr.. INGALLS, pre-
ierred TO remain silent and passive, until
finally he asked time TO prepare an answer,
apparently with view of throwing the
cHsc over until the regular session. This is
the third instance in which senator from
Kansas has been arraigncd for procuring
his election by bribery, CALDWELL sought
refuge in resignation, when tho proof that
he had purchased his scat was conclusive.
PoMERoY was driven out, even after the
yirtu0us FRELINGHUYsEN had tried to white
wash him.
INGALLS, was elected to succeed pOMERoY
ms a representative Of the reform element of
the Republican party; and now INGALLS, is
charged in tho most responsible manner
with following in the footsteps Of his illus
trlous predecessor, and he cOnfronts his
accusers by miserable subteriugo and
craven silence Tho Committee ON Privi-
leges and Elections, surprising Mr. INGALLS,
to be other than no is, treated him with deli
cacy and forbearance, and left the initiative

THE SOIL of Texas is very fertile, its

THE RECORD of Senator Hill of Geor-
gia needs little looking after, for if
we believe what the Democratic papers
say of him he was a rampant Union
man during the war, and according to
what he said in the Senate the other
day he almost saved the Union and
never seeded, well, hardly ever; and
that, that old Zach Chandler was the
cause of the recent quarrel between
the two sections. Unfortunately for
the Honorable Ben. somebody has tern
hunting up his record and from amongst
the rebel archives the following has
peen unearthed which will be read
with general interest as the resolutions
were offered by Senator Hill in the Con-
federate Senat. in October 1862:
First-That every person pretending
to be soldier or all officer of the Uni
ted States who shall be captured on the
soil of the Confederate States after the
lst day of January. 1868, shall be pre-
sumed to have entered the territory of
the Confederate States with intent to
incite insurrection and to abet murder,
and unless satisfactory proof be addu-
ced to the contrary before the military
court before which the trial shall be
had, he shall suffer death. And this
section shall continue in force until the
proclamation issued by Abraham Lin
coin, dated Washington, September %,
1862, shall be reseinded.
Second-Evsry white person who
shall act as commissioned or non
commissioned officer commanding ne
groes or mulattoes against the Confede-
rate States, or who shall arm, organize
train or prepare negroes or mulattoei
for military service, or aid them in any
military enterprise against the Confed-
crate States shall, If captured, suffel
death.
Third-Every commissioned or non
commissioned officer Of the enemy who
shall incite slaves to rebellion, or pre-
tend to give them freedom under tn
aforementioned act Of Congress ant
proclamation, by abducting or eausin,
. them TO be abducted, or inducing then
to abscond, shall if captured suffe
death.

Somebody in the Board OF Education
is hurt-yes grossly insulted at the
allusion to French manners. We re-
gret this, and yet We must frankly say
that We expected it. Some people
never did like to have their political
intrigues exposed, and generally get
real mad when thsy appear in print
This, however, is no fault Of the pub
fishers Of newspapers, az they have a
wonderful inclination to publish the
facts as they find them. The great
fault lies with the members OF the
Board who are hurt, having carried
politics into the organization. 1t was
we'll known that there was q very wide
gulf between the President Of the
Board and the gentleman who now oc
cupies the position Of chairman OF the
committee on teachers, SO much so that
according to the declaration of the lat
ter up to FIVE o'clock on the evening OF
the organization, he swore lie would
not vote for the re. election of the Presi.
dent, and yet within four hours after
wards he did vote for him, and was re-
warded by being made Chairman of
two of the most important committees
of the Board-that of Chairman OF the
Committee on Teachers and that OF No.
l school. We may be wrong in calling
this bargain and sale, buff it is not,
it has so much the appearance Of one
that we certainly should be excusable
for calling it bargain. We have
nothing more to say upon this subject
at the present time, but We would in
deed very much like to hear from the
gentlemen who are aggrieved at the re-
marks of the REPUBLICAN,, and would
call upon them to make public state
ment and tell us the kind of soothing
syrup used to bring such speedy re-
Cancellation between the President and
the Chairman of the Committee on
Teachers.

desire further to state, that there has
been presented TO them evidences of
irregularity and grave misconduct on
the part of Charles Hill and the en-
ployees of the post-oflice at Tempe,

the opinion of the Grand Jurors to
Justify the finding of any bill of IN

make known to the court the just
reasons Of complaint which have
come to their knowledge as follows:
First, the newspapers of many of
the citizens. receiving mail matter at
the postoffice are opened and detain
ed from their rightful owners with
out prompt delivery, and often with
out delivery at all.
| Second, the mails are carele ssly
assorted and distributed, and not in
frequently allowed to pass through

the route, 20 be returned after delays
Tcxatious to the recipients and

Having thus completed their labors
