OF seventeen he was gradnated from the Elmira Free
Academy. Thence he went 20 Rochester University,

OF this responsible post with marked activity and

Senator from Chemung an aggressive Republican, and
what was worse. from the Hill point Of view, one
likely to grow and certain to be hard to overthrow or
guide by any Of the devices familiar to the followers
of the peanut school of politics. In 1855. Cleveland
having become President and the Lieutenant Governor
having succeeded him, Hill, who candidate for
election as Governor 10 succeed himself made most
bitter fight in the Chemung district, with the double
object first Of helping Hill and secondly Of destroying
the growing influence Of Fassett Consequently Fasset
was reelected 10 the state Senate by greatly Increased
plurality in very heavy vote. In 1887 being an Off

LOCAL BREVITIES.

N. A. Morford is recovering from his recent illness.
 Tantau & Kellner yesterday received a carload each of coal oil, potatoes and sugar.

 If washouts don't prevent, the Barrel of Money" Company will hold the boards at the Opera House tonight.
 William Widmer returned yesterday from a trip summoning witnesses to testify before the Coroner's jury in the case of the Mexican burned. He had to go about ten miles beyond the Agua Ffia, and on his return was compelled to swim the stream, which had risen from the rains. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts al- ready published.
 The rains up to last night had very much swollen the Salt river, and the canals leading from it were full. Up to o'clock last evening the river registered a rise of 4 feet 6 inches at the Arizona canal dam. Considerable alarm was felt at Tempe over the chances of the railroad bridge being washed out and the river was still on the rise at latest accounts. The danger is the more by reason of the fact, that the main chan nel is now on the north side, under the trestle, and force of men is at work pol ing off the driftwool. The ferry has not been able to run on account of the roughness of the water. The rise is at- tributed to the reported heavy rains on the Verde and on the western slope oI the Mazatzal mountains.

THE SUPREME COURT.
DECISION IN THE BEHAN SAL AIRY SUIT.
The Former Warden Entitled to the Emoluments of the Oftioe Until He Sur rendered to Ingalls,.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed down an opinion on an applica- ton for a writ of mandate addressed to the Supreme Court, requiring the Board of Prison Commissioners to audit the claim of J. H. Behan, for salary as superintendent of the Territorial prison during the time he he'd the office after the appointment of the new board, and preceding the time he surrendered the office to Ingalls,.
 Judge Kihbey announced the decision of the Court, and said: That as a general rule the right to the emolument of an office is incident to the title to the office. It has been almost universally held by the courts of this country and of England that person, who, although he may actually perform the duties of an office, and have been possessed of all the insignia thereof, yet he cannot recover or com- pei the payment of the emoluments of the office unless he shall also have been lawfully invested with the office itself. In nearly, if not quite all those cases, however, in which that doctrine is asserted, there was a dc jure officer, one who was lawfully entitled to the office. This doctrine depends upon the very obvious rule of public policy, that is, that no person shall assume an office or attempt to perform its duties until he shall have been legally appointed or elected thereto, and have qualified therefor ss. required by law, and that if he do so he does so at his own risk and compensation therefor will be with held and given to the one who has been elected Or appointed and qualified. There may be some exceptions to this rule. They are however not necessary to be considered in determin- ing this case. In this case Behan was not legally appointed to the office he claimed, although he was appointed in pursuance of Territorial law that had been conceded for number of years to be valid. The office itself existed, but no valid appointment had been made thereto. There was, in other words, during the period for which he now claims the salary, no person legally ap- pointed thereto. The court are of the opinion that where person in good faith and pursuant to a law which, though it be unconstitu- tional SO far as the manner of appoint ment tc' the office is concerned, but is otherwise valid, and in pursuance of an appointment hereunder assumes that office and performs its duties and there being no person legally appointed thereto, is entitled to the emoluments of the office.
 ''The prayer for the writ is therefore granted and the board is ordered to audit the claim up to the time of the appointment and qualification of Ingalls, to that office, less the salary already l maid D
