In the Petersburg injunction case, noticed
in yesterdays GAZETTE, the Court stated
that the whole complaint hinged on the
single question, whether or not the demo
cratic Council, on June Is, had the right to
elect officers, which the Court affirmed and
declared that the injunction was not revo-
lutionarN proceeding, and that any taxpayer
had the right to ask that it be granted. He
therefore orerluled the motion to dismiss
the injunction. This decision necessarily
asserts the legality of the democratic council
proceedings. No funds can be paid the re-
adjuster or democatic officers out of the city
treasury until the final decision of the Court
of Appeals, which has granted writ to the
readjuster defendants calling upon the
democrats to show cause why a mandamus
should not be issued.

From Egypt.

On Wednesday night an attempt was
made to surprise the British outposts, at
Alexandria. Under cover of the darkness
force Of COO men approached close to the
British lines, when the Thirty ghth Regi-
ment opened fire. The enemy retreated
precipitately. During the remainder of the
night the Egyptians continued moving about
just beyond range. The attempt was pre-
ceded by reports that Arab Pacha was at
tempting to treat for conditions for his sur.
render. and that white flag was flying
over his Entertainments. The reports were
probably circulated TO lull the vigilance Of
the British.

firm supporter and able defender Of the
Malone wing of the republican party. at
tenpts to induce the many readers of his
paper that the Irish are nation of paupers,
for, in speaking Of the repressive measures
proposed by England, he says, they threat
en- the United States with al overwhelming
tide OF pauperism.' Ireland has pauperS,
rs has every other nation upon the face of
