Friday the market closed dull. s.
In provincial markets values improved,

On Monday, excitement was caused BY

opinion Of the court is governed by that Of
Morgan VS.. Louisiana, (aS, o. S. 2l7, } in

Thomas ]. Wood, in error to the Circuit
Court Of the United States, for the Eastern
District OF Missouri. This was q suit
brought by Wood to recover back money
paid by him through q broker 10 the city
Of Louisiana for bonds which purported
to be valid obligation OF that corporation,
but which were, in fact invalid and
void for the reason that the city au.
thorities ante-dated them to eyade the
State registry laws. This Court holds
that, although the bonds are clearly In.
valid as obligations OF the city for the
reason above given, the claim Of their
holder for restitution OF the money. which
be paid for them Is Just and must be sus.
tanned. He was kept in ignorance ot the
facts which made the bonds invalid, and
did not knowingly make himself q party
10 any illegal transaction. The only party
that has done wrong is the city. The
money was gotten from the purchaser OF
the bonds by imposition, because the city,
with intent to deceive, pretended that the
false date which the bonds bore was
true one. II city obtains money. or

A few days ago Miss Elizabeth David, re-.

CONFERENCE
Between. President Hayes and General
Garfield. Touching General Questions
OF Public Policy.

aaEfleId, Touching General ,Questioui
ofPabiie Policy. L.t {
WAsusoToS, November 2s.-It Is un'
derstood that one Of the main objects
which induced Gen. Garfield to come to
Washington at this time was the express
ed wish Of President Hayes to confer and
advise with him on various points Of pub
Lie policy. Gen. Garfield had in letters to
several Of his intimate friends in Wash.
ington, written only a few days before the
election, intimated purpose not to come
to Washington during the winter, and
from bis knowledge OF Washington life,
and his anticipation OF the siege TO which
he would certainly be subjected at this
time. IL Ia not probable that he would
have changed his mind but to oblige
the President. From the first
hour OF his arrival he has scarcely had .
moment to himself, the stream Of callers
which commences at an early hour in
the morning and continues until q late
hour OF the night, resembling continuous
procession. Nearly every prominent Off.
cial under the Government has called, be-
sides hundreds OF others who would very
much like TO be prominent. Since his or.
rival General Garfield has seen the Presi.
dent two or three times, and has discussed
with him the advisability OF certain views
and recommendations which the Presi.
dent has thought Of including in his mes.
sage. President Hayes has indicated de.
sire to further any purposes or policy
which the incoming President may, have
at heart, and has also intimated that
wherever their views were in harmony he
would like the new administration TO carry
out, or continue any line Of policy
which has been feature Of his admins.
tration.
This is said to be the first time that a
retiring President has paid the courtesy
to his successor, OF consulting with him AZ
TO his views, and President Hayes has set
q very good examplein the matter.
Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton, who was MEM
bef OF the Civil Service Commission,
came here several days ago, and his pres
ence has been taken to indicate that the
President would, in his Message, advise
some further action by Congress to pro.
mote the cause Of Civil Service Reform,
which he has always had 80
much at heart. This view Is also
taken in connection with the very sound
and wholesome opinion as TO the tenure
OF Office expressed by General Garfield, on
Friday last, 10 the representatives OF the
Independent Republicans Of New York,
who called upon him. II, after consulta-
ton with General Garfield, President
Hayes should determine to recommend
Congress to take action In this matter the
Democrats in Congress could not do better
than to sigualize the last months Of their
control OF the two Houses, than by the
passage OF some measure 10 reform the
civil service. t
