Another Bond Decision.

sion denying d. A. Secombe's application for
an injunction restraining the state treasurer
from paying interest OH the new issue of

Judge Locl,ren of Minneapolis, and, being
denied by him, appealed to the supreme
court. The following is the syllabus Of the

of their adopting it, must be deemed cured by
the subsequent admission of Minnesota as
State into the Union, and by the action of
the State subsequent to ito admission III re-
cognizing this amendment as valid, and rec
tifying it by acting under its provisions.
