In the United States Court held at
Burlington last week several import
ant cases were tried. Among Others
and Passumpsic Rivers r. r. Co.'S,
the petition of q. W. Hendee, receiv-
er of the Vermont National Bank OF
St. Adams, against the Connecticut
asking for an injunction restraining
defendant from further prosecuting its
claim to S613,000 of the first mort
gage bonds of the Montreal, Portland
and Boston railroad company in the
courts of Canada, now held by the
receiver, was heard. Messrs. Hendee
and Cross for the orator; Edwards,
Dickerman and Young for defendant.
The main legal question argued was
that of the jurisdiction of the court.
Decision not yet rendered. In the
case of Hendee, receiver, against the
First National Bank of St. Johnsbury
to recover the amount of an assess
ment made on defendants stock in
the Vermont National Bank-S30,000
was also tried. 1t was fully tried
and argued by Hendee and Cross for
plaintiff and Judge Poland and E. R..
Hard for defendant. Judgment was
rendered for plaintiff for the full
amount and interest. This case goes
to the Supreme Court of the United
States on a writ of error, and will be
heard next winter or before. There
are six other cases of the same nature
yet to be tried. They will probably
be tried in May, and may have to
await the decision of the U. S. Su-
preme court in the case tried, and the
final decision in all will be alike. The
whole amount involved in these suits
over S125, 600, and what is recovered
is for the benefit of the creditors of
the Vermont National Bank of st.
Adams, and will! pay a dividend of
25 per cent.

The Right of the Senate to Public
Papers.

Whether any of the papers on file
in any of the departments may law
fully be Withheld from the Senate or
not, it seems to US that such papers
should be furnished upon the request
of the Senate, as matter of course,
irrespective of the question of power.
This has been our opinion from the
beginning of the discussions on the
subject. No harm could possibly
come to the President from disclosing
to the Senate the contents of any pub
lie papers on file in a government of
fee. If the Senate made an improp-
er use of such papers that body would
only hurt itself in the estimation of
the people, and help the President.
We think it would have been wiser to
assume that the purpose of the Sen
ate in making the request was lawful,
and we cannot perceive that any evil
could have resulted from complying
with it.
On the other hand, tie refusal to
submit the papers in any case TO the
inspection of the Senate is likely to
give rise to the impression that there
is something in the documents which
needs to be concealed. We do not
believe there is any foundation for the
idea, but it is natural result of the
policy of concealment, whatever may
be the motives which prompt that
policy.
The Democratic party will doubtless
resist to the utmost the assertion of
the power on the part of the Senate to
control the President in making re-
movals from Office. In doing this,
however, the course of the administra-
ton and its supporters should be
frank and candid, and whatever infor-
nation is contained in the public pa
pers of any department ought freely
to be disclosed to the Senate. If such
course had been adopted, there
would have been no controversy as to
many of the matters discussed in the
report which has just been made by
Mr.. Edmunds in behalf of the Repub-
lican majority of the judiciary Com
mittee. There would have been mere
" the question of the Senate's right
to control removals, and not, also, the
question of the Senate's right to see
public papers.
According to our view, the position
of the administration in regard to the
Presidents power of removal is need
lessly weakened by the refusal to send
to the Senate the papers for which
that body has asked. The true policy
would be to lei the Senators see all
there is and let them make the most
of it.-N. Y. Sun.

take his daughters feet in marriage.

The match is said to be one purely OF

They Are Not Responsible.

The Postal Authorities Explain How
They Are Not Responsible.
PITTsBURG, July 3l.-The postal au-
thorities in this city have not been Off
cIally notified in regard to the missing
pouch containing $50, 900 in money, checks
ETC., that is supposed to have disappeared
between New York and PIttsburg. Itwas
known, though, that the pouch was miss
ing and that the matter was being quietly
Investigated. No blame is attached to any
OF the employees in this city, as they are
not expected to receipt for through mail
One OF the employees, In speaking OF the
matter this afternoon, said:
"When the pouches are delivered from
the post office at New York the clerk in
the postal car receipts for each pouch.
He Is responsible for them until they
reach Pittsburg. Then they are delivered
TO the postal clerk on the Pan Handle
train. He is handed Q list OF the pouches
and is supposed TO check of each pouch.
When he signs his name TO the receipts
he is supposed to know that he has all
the pouches. Sometimes, though, when
very busy, he does not check off each
pouch. He is responsible tor them until
be delivers them TO the next postal clerk
at Indianapolis, who In turn is RESPONSE
BILE for them until st. Louis Is reached.
The clerks in this city could not be held
responsible for the missing pouch, as
they don't take charge of them only on
rare occasions, when train is too late
coming in at the Union station to make
connections for the West. Then, OF course,
the Pittsburg clerk Is held responsible
until the pouch is handed over to the
clerk on the postal car.
"Thl5, however, is very rarely the case,
as even II the Eastern train should be late
the Panhandle train is held for it," at
is a mystery" he continued, show the
pouch could have disappeared. II Is pos
sible that some person boarded the car
between New York and Pittsburg and
stole the pouch. This would not be a
very difficult matter, as very often the
postal-car door Is left unlocked, and while
the clerk was IN the forward part OF the
car thlef could be at the rear OF the car
and throw off one OF the pouches. Or il
is possible that when the clerk at New
York receipted tor the pouches that one
was missing, and that II had been stolen
in that city. However, there has been
no investigation In this city, as the mat.
ter concerns the men who run on the pos.
tai cars"
No such man as Ferald is known in the
railway mail service.
