 OOO. The register of the Superi | Court shows that all of said suit
 with the exception Of that recent
 decided, have been dismissed by COT
 sent of the parties thereto. The!
 entries and signatures were made
 the handwriting of all attorneys f,
 defendants and plaintiffs, and appea
 upon the register in an illegal man
 ner, as the Clerk of the Court shoul
 have made the entries, and no paper
 have been found containing an aC count of the proceeding, as require l by law. It is understood this Ina been done against the wishes of tn other stockholders. One Ol the stocs holders-Peter CHrystal--has brough the matter to tlir attention of Judg Sullivan, who made an order that th parties to the suit shall show caus why the dismissal shall not be an nulied and Chrystal allowed 10 inter vene. As soon as the attorneys hear, of Chrystal's action they filed a dis mIssal in the proper form. Mir. Hol ilday, one of Burke's attorneys, state that Squire P. Dewey, who stood be hind Burke, was discouraged becaus, he found that whatever money wa gained by the mining suit recent, decided would have to pass througl Floods hands, and had given the mat ter up. Dewey declined 10 be inter viewed. The Examiner considers the proceedings conclusive proof that bargain between the parties was madt without reference to the interests anC rights of the stockholders, and doubt less Burke got handsomely rewarded for his compromise.

The contest was the most eX- citing that ever took place in the As sembly chamber. Not a word was said in debate, but one after another of the bills were demolished. Two motions for consideration Oy Me Cure, pending from yesterday, were laid on the table and the Platt bill |, which the Democrats yesterday re fused tO vote upon then, came up. The Republicans were anxious to make the Democrats vote against their own bill, and the latter made no attempt to shirk the issue, but every one except Griffith stood up and with the Slickens men wiped the bill out of existence. At this time the Re- publican majority was badly demOr- aliZed and soon after, when the House the bottom dropped out of everything.
