Mr.. Wilson advocated the amendment OF
Mr.. McCracken at considerable length, insist

terest on the new bonds to begin on the date
of their issue, and cited from the auditors

funds to pay the interest. He had ascertained

a trlfe over per cent. interest on the bonds in

FARIBAULT, Nov. 1.-The literary excuses at Sea-

the season. The debate, which was scencs

chief disputants were boih senior students, ana
probably the best eakers In the hall therefore the

not disappointed The question read as follows {:

the past he laid down his points
with such vigor and rapidly that he rather bewll-

renovatlng advance Of unperishsble truth. In this
onnection he grew eloquent, and seemed determin-

many OF his positions, but he failed TO show, as he

THE finance committee of the county
board will do well to investigate Sheriff
Richter's monthly reports. His report
submitted yesterday, which was sworn
to, showed that during October he had
charged up fees to the amount of S22S.7s,
and that he had collected back fees to the
amount of $l3S, making a total of
s366.7S. His expenditures for deputies
and other expenses were given as $3.50.
In other words he is apparently paying
the county of Ramsey three or four dol
lars per month for being sheriff, and
boarding himself. On the other hand he
submitted his claims to the board and
called for nearly twelve hundred dollars
from the county for October. The report
was referred to the finance committee
and they will do well to inspect this wide
discrepancy.

Il Plea for Equity.

To the Editor of the Globe:
ST.. PAUL, Oct. 81, lSSl.-Dear Sir. IN
less 1 have been misinformed the
bonds represented by Soutter & Co, Of New
York, were purchased by the late James T.
Soutter, then head of the banking house of
Soutter & Co. of the contractor, or contrac-
tors, who laid the substructure9 upon which
BY the terms of the so-called loan amendment,
the bonds issued to the transit corporation were
issued. They were bought in good faith. By
"good faith" 1 do not wish to be understood
as sarcastically referring to the good faith(?)
of the State Of Minnesota. This money,
therefore, should have been paid to the sub
contractors, m aterial men etc., etc, covered by
senate file No. 9, section T. If it was not SO
paid, are bona, tide holders of bonds t. be
mulcted for the direction of others, and what
may be called bonuses, conferred upon those
who do not bear the same virtuous relations
to the State?
will not refer to the State assuming the
payment of private debts, be:ause the mag
nanimity of the State of Minnesota has been
consplcuously manifested by its treatment of
its own creditors.
What wish to impress, is that If the "rest
of mankind" are to be embraced in this So
called adjustment they should all be dealt
with upon equal and equitable, if not just
terms.
| handed this afternoon to MIR. Castle, editor
of the Dispatch, brief communication Ref
erence was made to telegram sent by Soutter
s. Co, to Gov Pillsbury, declaring that they
would not accept of the terms of the bill
referred to, if transit bonds were Disseminated
against. The date of that telegram was Octo-
Der 20, 1881.

THE absence of Irishmen from the list
of forty-eight jurors drawn in the mu-
nicipal court for the month of November
is attracting some attention, and the
query is raised as to how the names were
secured. The first trial to take place is
that of an Irishman, who committed an
outrageous assault, and who will be con-
victed by any jury which does not violate
its oath, no matter of what
nationality it may be composed.
The assault was admitted by
the perpetrator, and though one jury was
found with two members who refused to
do justice, it is not likely such an outrage
of law can again be repeated. Juries are
not supposed to be regulated by nation
alities, and if they are the sooner they
are abolished the better.

If there is no legal impeachment in the
way, it is possible that the Legislature
will take recess, after passing the bond
bill, until December. As both houses
can, by concurrence, adjourn for week,
there seems to be no reason why they
cannot adjourn for one month as well.
There is so much legislation pending that
it will not be possible to complete it I'M
der two or three weeks at best. In view
of the election next week the members
are anxious for respite.

Editor of the Globe:
One does not like to be misrepresented, even
in small things. Your reference to PROPOSE
ton before the legislature to abolish the office
of state railroad commissioner as emenating
from me, or being furthered by me, is not
true. My views and attitude in reference to
the measure, are the same now that they have
been when like propositions were before for
mer legislators.
You published from the Kasson Republican
paragraph to the effect that / am a candidate
on the Prohibition ticket. 1 have never seen
such ticket, nor heard of it, except in this con-
nectiOn. l was never consulted about any such
use of my name, and certainly would not con-
sent to it.
Further, allow me to say, that I leave the
Office Ito which l was nominated without
seeking it) without regret. l believe / have
rendered the state some service, as is shown
by carefully guarded, and largely increased
revenues from the railroads. This is the chief
function and use of the Office.

upon the ground that the verdict is not
justified by the evidence is denied by the trial
court, the order denying a new trial will be
reversed only in cases where there is no evil
dence reasonably tending to sustain the ver-
dict, as when it is most manifestly and palpa-

Section 1874, CHI. sc, gen. stat 1878, only APP

When there is evidence tending to show that
the property was not in the possession of the
defendant in the process, and where, upon the
evidence, it is an open question whether the
property was at the time of the levy in the
possession of such defendant, or of another,
the court would have no right to hold as a
matter of law that service of an affidavit and
notice of claim upon the sheriff was neces,
sary. In such cases the question OF posses.
sion must be left to the jury under proper In
structions.
The evidence in this case considered and
held sufficient to sustain the verdict.
