There was no time, prior to his selling out

600 shares. In fact, there never was a time
when Cotton had just / 900 shares and the others
manager in January, 1871, although he had but
300 shares, and he acquitted no more until
after Crocker had sold out and started on his
travels. The first step toward the purchase Of
stock which can now be discovered Was an
assessment levied on the 10th day of August, A.
j. ISL, which Wilson was informed was levied
10 aid their purchase of the stock. The first
stock acquired after the agreement to purchase
on joint account was in September, 1871. They
continued then to purchase, the stock being
conveyed either TO Cotton or Stanford, until No
vemper u, A ID. 1873, when q division was
made by Cotton and 5. \. Hopkins the latter
acting for Stanford Huntington, Hopkins and
Croker. This was an equal division OF the
whole amount of stock, including the 500
shares purchased by Croker, and is a practical
Interpretation of the contract TO purchase by
the parties. II was said this was the act Of Col
ton, the others cOnfiding in him. But the fact
seems to be they did. not confide wholly in Col
ton. They were represented by S. A. Hopkins.
There was then no reason why they should have
such implicit confidence in him. He was not
then connected with the railroads. He was
then simply trusted employe. Hopkins would
not have acted for them in so important mat
ter without first informing himself Of their
rights. Cotton had no authority over him. And
there is no apparent reason why he should have
taken Coltons statements in a matter in which
Colton's interests conhicted with those of his
And then this equal division was allowed to
stand for five years and down to Colton's
death. During that time there had been sew
enty-eight dividends by which they had di-
vided more than one halEmillion OF dollars.
For sixty of these Croker had personally re-
ceipted on the dividend book for the diyf-
dends on his own shares, and on the same page
on which he signed his name was shown the
amount of stock held by each stakeholder.
Most OF the stock was held by the five, and
generally there were only fourteen stockhold-
ers in all. Croker often receipted for the
dividends of the other three also. On each
page where he gave these numerous receipts
was spread out before him the evidence that
the disparity he claimed did not exist.
stanford receipted personally under the
same circumstances thirty-seven times and
Mark Hopkins for his own dividends and
thirty-three times.
This corporation was also in effect close cor
poration.
Crocker, of course, knew the total amount of
stock in the corporation.

DEPUTY Marshal Shot at,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 8.-This
morning early some unknown person called
Deputy United States Marshal j. s. Atkin-
son, to come to the window in the Marshal's
Office in the Custom House. Mr.. Atkinson
did not reply, whereupon shot was fred
through the window, the bullet barely
missing another deputy. Mr.. Atkinson
is brother of United States Mar
shall Atkinson and has been diligent
during the past four years in ferreting out
yiolators OF the Internal Revenue law in
this section of the State. The federal courts
in session here bring many moonshiners in
town and it is thought that one of their
number who holds grudge against Deputy
Atkinson tried to kill him. His life has
been threatened frequently. The person
who did the shooting is believed to be
known.

CHAPLIN VS.. TAYLOR. TREAsURER.-The
mandate of the Supreme Court of the United
Sta. es reversing the judgment in the coupon
cases, was received in Richmond yesterday.
In Chaflin vs. Taylor the mandate was pre-.
scented to Judge Wexford in the Circuit Court
of Henrico county, by whom it was ordered
to be recorded. In this case r. B. Chatin,
who owed the State about 500 of taxes,
rendered to William Taylor, Treasurer of
Heprico, his taxes in coupons. MIR. Taylor
refused to receive them and levied on and
sold Chaffin's horse. Chaffin sued him for
trespass and Taylor pleaded the State laws
for his defence, and the court gave judgment
against Chafin. Chafin appealed to the
Supreme Court Of the United States, which
reversed this judgment and ordered the
Circuit Court to have Chaffin's damages as
sessed by jury. The case will be tried in
few days Mr.. Taylor has to pay the costs
of this appeal, which amount to S62.7O. In
the cases of White and Poindexter, in
which Mr.. Greenbpw, Treasurer of Rich
,nond. was Defendant, he has to pay
SIG 95 costs in Poindexter's case and $66.95
costs in Whites case. An execution will
be issued to collect these costs.

TRIAL OF CLUyERIUs

In the Hastings Court in Richmond, yes.
terday, Judge Atkins ordered the name of
H. C. Adams, one of the jurymen secured in
the case of T. ] Cluverius on trial for the
murder of Lillian Madison, to be struck from
the list. This was due to the fact that it
had become known that Adams had had
some trouble with negro resulting in the
latter swearing out warrant charging AID
ans with perjury, and that the case was
still pending in the Henry County Court
The calling of the talesmen summoned was
then proceeded with, and four jurors were
obtained, making twelve in all.
Mr.. c. W. Meredith, acting Common
wealth's Attorney, objected to Messrs. A.
8. Goode and H. S. Larke, two of the Jury
men. He urged that both were disquali-
fed Iu the Case of Mr.. Goode, two wit.
nesses We're put on the stand to prove that
he had recently bet that the prisoner would
be acquitted. The objection to Larke was
that he had said in speaking of the Cluveri-
us case he would not convict any man upon
cireumstantia evidence. The court will
decide as to these two jurors to day. A We
pire facias Was issued for three hundred
more talesmen, making nearly 1000 so far
summoned.
The prisoner was calm and self possessed
as usual There is nothing defiant in his
bearing, aud he seems to appreciate the
gravity of the charge against him. His
brother, who Is two or three years his Sc
nior, is almost constantly by his side.
A search warrant was served at the resi-,
dence of Mrs Tunstal, in King and Queen,
the home of Cluverius, few days ago. The
search resulted, it is said, in the finding OF
an overcoat and hal, which were brought
away by The officers. These articles are
supposed to be those worn by Cluverius on
the night OF the tragedy. 1t is said by those
| interested in the accused that the overcoat
and hat belong to his brother

The ELECToR RAJ BOARD CAsE.-As stated
in yesterdays GAZETTE, in the Court Of APP.
peals an opinion was delivered in the case
Of Frayser VS.. Delarue. Frayser was elect
ed registrar by the Electoral Board of the
city of Richmond and applied to Delarue for
the books, etc. Delasue refused to surren-
der the books on the ground that the joint
resolution passed by the General Assembly
creating the Electoral Boards had not been
semitic theGovernor for his approval and con.
sequently had not become law. Frayser,
through his counsel, applied to the Court of
Appeals for mandamus against Delarue
requiring him to surrender the books. The
court, in the opinion delivered, decided
that the joint resolution creating the Elec-
toral Boards, passed by the General Assem-
bly,, did not require the signature of the
Governor as the resolution was simply for
the election of the members of the Electoral
Boards. The court ordered the mandam US
to be issued.

The Russo-English Troubles.

LONDON, May 8.-Runors are current in
Paris of steady and continued Russian ad-
vance in Afghanistan, but it is impossible to
trace them to any authentic source. They
have probably originated from the news of
the Russian occupation of Pepjdeh.
The official news agency in Paris, which
is supposed to- represent the views of the
French cabinet, publishes London dispstch
dwelling on the fact that throughout the dis.
pute Germany has given no indication of
the attitude she intends to assume regarding
the controversy. The dispatch says that
the German ambassador in London still
holds as pessimistic view of the situation
as when everything looked desperate, and
that the English officials still fear that Ger
many is unfavorably disposed toward Eng
land, and is not anxious to see peace.
The Times continues to urge the govern
ment to persuade the Amer to allow the
presence of an English garrison at Herat.
The announcement in the st. Petersburg
Official Messenger is expected to have re-
assuring effect, as being the first intimation
BIZ Russia that she will send a commission
to meet the English commission.
The report published in the Morning Post
to. day that Earl Dufferin had resigned his
position as Vceroy ofIndia, is pronounced
by government officials TO be utterly untrue.

m ,rtial met at ten o'clock this morning. AT.
ter reading the record of yesterday the or
der of challenging the members of the court
was reached. The defendant challenged
Me licaI Director james Suddards, on the
groand that he was hostile to the defendant
and had criticised his acts as surgeon-gene-
raj. The ground of DR.. Suddard's hostility
as alleged in the challenge, was the failure
of the defeudent to place him in charge of
thu hospital at New York. DR.. Suddards
reoined that while he had criticised the de-
PENDANT when he was surgeon general he
was not prejudicsd aud could act Smparti
ally in respect to the pending cause. The

When the doors were reopened the judge

dant. The defendant noted an exception.

The KINDLY feeling entertained by the
radical republicans of the North for their
fellows citizens Of the South is too aptly and
too truthfully expressed by their morning
newspaper at Washington, which says: The
year OF jubilee has come to the men VINO
lost federal Offices twenty odd years ago by
reason of their hatred Of the old flag" Ia
the malignant enmity of these people i'm
placable? The unity Of the country has
been restored, and as it cannot be again
destroyed, it would seem that their own
self interest, let alone all idea of patriotism
would induce them to assume the amicaole
feelings natural to fellow citizens of com
mon country, even if they do not possess
them.
