4 Fortunate Typographical Error.

'f'"''t' typographical ETfof'
While the writer of these notes re-
grets that the types made him say that
it was General Lee, instead of General
Bee, who gave General Jackson the
title of 'Stonewall, !" he is pleased that
the Typographical error has elected
from those who participated in the first
battle at Manassas such an interesting
statement as the one that follows:
BRooKHAyEN, Aug, 3, 1899.
My Dear Col Power;
General Barnard f. Bee is the one who
gave General Jackson the title of "Stone-
wall General Bee was not at Manassas,
or near there, at the time, The Confeder'
ate lines were being broken Generals Bee,
Barlow and Jackson were bearing the brunt
of the whole fight General Bee rode over
to General Jackson to find out what he was
going to do, and he told General Bee that
he was going to hold his position, Barnard
Bees and Bartow's brigades were waver'
ing, General Bee shouted to his brigade
There stands General Jackson like stone
WALL Let us do the same, or diel' Gen
eral Barlow got up on a rail fence, with his
brigade flag, and waving it, told his men
that if they loved him they would rally
around him, The brigade came back, ant
did rally, but General Barlow was shot tc

fight, and the Federal troops were falling

By the Court,
D. B. SEARLE,
Judge OF said court.
NOTE.


The facts in this case are b. iehy state d
in the foregoing decision. Section 1877
OF chapter 8 Of the Laws.of 1899. being
the charter of said city, provides that
no money shall be paid out OF the city
treasury except for principal or interest
of bonds, unless such payment shall be
authorized by vote of the city coun-
Payment Of the orders in question
was never authorized by such vote. The
chapter provides the manner the police
men shall be appointed, and how their
salaries shall be determined. It is per-
fH.tly clear that there was never any legal
determination either Of the number OF pos
lcemen or their salaries, and hence they
are not entitled as g matter Of law to
hold the Office as policemen or to pay
therefor. However, until the RUE laid
down in the case Of Farmer vs. The City
:of st. Paul, 81 n, ". !. Rep. 800 it does
not follow from this conclusion that the
plaintiff is entitled 80 invoke the aid of
q court Of equity to enjoin the paym ent
5of salaries claimed 81 tho persons VII 8
have performed the duties Of . police

man for services already rendered.
While it is true, as the court says that
upon grounds OF sound public policy,
the doctrine of ultra wires is applied
with the greater strictness to municipal
than to private corporations. and that
in this state a tax payer NAV en-
join al unauthorized appropriation of
public moneys, yet in case where the
proposed appropriation is only techni-
cally illegal, and would be more inequit-
able to grant the injunction than to re-
it, it may be refused.
The proposed payment which the
plaintiff seeks to enioln for service al
ready rendered'is not gratuity, but ie1
for services which the persons have
earned in good faith while acting in thesS
capacity of policemen, and the city and 2
the people have had the benefit OF that:
services which in equity and g68ds
conscience they should pay for. Ho#.55
ever, as to the future services, thefs
being no valid determination OF the
number and salary OF the police re-S s
quired by the city, the appropriation E
by the Mayor is unauthorized, and the
defendants and each Of them should be
restrained from making an appropri-
alton OF public moneys for such un-
authorized purpose. The defendants
have no power under the charter to
subject the city treasury to the pay
ment OF salaries to other than legally
appointed officers and any taxpayer of
the city may be heard in a legal and
proper>way to prevent such uni awful
payment.
