HIS ACCOUNTS WERE APPROVED.
Therefore There Could BE No Recovery o.
Alleged Illegal Commissions.

The only case tried Yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court was that oI
tho United States Government against yohh
II. Grant. late postmaster at Auburn. Eau
quier county, and Messrs. Edward Burgess
and Levy J. Putnam, who were his sure
ties.
Neither of the defendants were present
IN person, but they were represented UN
Major Il. Taylor Scott, the Attorney-Gen-
eral Of the State. District-Attorney Bor-
land and Assistant Bristow were both pres
ent for the Government. The trial was
ended very suddenly and resulted IN ths
case being dismissed or decided IN favor
of the defendants.
This was a suit brought on the official
bond of Mr.. Grant for the recovery, OF
S14j.44 which it was claimed he had lie
gaily received as commissions on the can
collation. of stamps. The circumstance
of the case are, these: Mr. Grant was ior
MANY years and until recently postmaster
at Auburn. and the :wo gentle
men named were sureties on MS
bond, executed July II, 1877. IL
the fall of 1856 Inspector W. II. Barclay was
sent TO investigate the affairs of the Once
and he reported that he thought the post
master had not kept an accurate account
and hadretained more liberal compensai-
tion than the business Of the office Jusllii
fed. A further examination was maze, elI
September 30. 1856. Postmaster-General
Villas wrote n letter to Mr.. Grant saying
that his returns from October II, 1879. TO
June 30. 1886, had not been correct ana
that he Villas in exercising the discretion
conferred upon him by the act of June H.
1878, withheld commissions on the returns
(Which. however. had already been re;
ceived or deducted) and allowed hx9d
compensation. He then made a schedule
of what should be allowed for each quarter
in the time named.
The only evidence introduced was the
transcript from the Treasury Department
and Major Scott objected TO this on the
ground that the postmaster's returns
having been made quarterly and approyed
bv the department and certificate TO that
effect issued suit could not lie in the
premises: also that the bond having been
executed prior to the enactment of the law
under which the Postmaster-Generals sub
stituted an allowance for commission II
could not be sued on IN case arising there
under.
Judge Hughes sustained the objections
and under the instructions given the jury
found for the defendants. This suit was
not brought until Mr.. Grant was out OF

MASSACHUSETTS, PRESS VISIT.
Meeting Yesterday OF the Joint Committee
of Arrangements.

A Joint committee representing the
Chamber Of Commerce and the Richmond
press met in the rooms of the Chamber
Yesterday further to consider the proposed
visit here of the Massachusetts, Editorial
Association. Present: Messrs. W.. -.
Chesterman, Thomas Christian, X. II. NJ.
Harrison. Samuel REGISTER, William Ryan,
of the STATE; Peter j. Burton, OF the IHnHs'
and Secretary Il. A. Dunlop.
As first planned the editors were TO spend
Tuesday and Wednesday, May l3tn and
l4th, in this city. and at former meeting
of the committee programme was out
lined for their entertainment on those TWO
dpys. but a recent letter from Mr.. Frank
4 Heywood, OF Springfield, Mass. who IS
the business manager of the excursion, IN
forms the committee that the editors Will
not reach Richmond until T. NJ. VI Sat
urday, May !7th, when they VIII come from
Petersburg, and stay in this city SUNDAY,
and leave for Norfolk by the steamer ARIEL
at 7 A. NJ. Monday.
THIS arrangement practically gives TO
Richmond only one day, and that day a
Sabbath. All the rest of their time will be
spent at points on or near the Norfolk and
Western railroad.
The chairman of the committee was re-
Ouested TO communicate with 4lr. Hey
wood and express the regret of the com
mittce that the new schedule OF the trlp
does not permit the execution Of the pro
gramme previously resolved upon: which
included visits 10 Richmond's chief places
of historical and Industrial interest, most
of which are inaccessible on Sundays.
1t is hoped that n correspondence with
Mr.. HAYWOOD will result in such stay OF
the editors here as Will give the party q
fair glimpse of Richmond's attraction ana
allow the Chamber and the press to oneT
them reception worthy of the occasion.
