Sr. Paul, April 9. Hie Xorlli
erji PaciGc Railroad company las
instituted a suit against lad com
missioner .Tames B. Power, chief
clerk Charles E. Kindrey, and
various members of their families
and alleged third parties to whom
they executed conveyances in trust
for themselves. The general na
ture of these transaction's is that
Power caused to be sold a large
number of tracts belonging to the
company to a large numlw of
persons ostensibly in bcliall ol tne
company for certain bums payable
in money; that after the money
had been paid or secured, that
Power then obtained preferred
stork of the company at a small
fraction of its par value, and turned
them into the company at their
nar value in payment for these
r . . piJ J nVnfn,ll
same tracts 01 ianu. mm i"..
the difference between what pur
chasers paid in money and what
fV,n rnfnrmd stock -cost him. The
complaint is very long and very
specific, and the case will involve
a large amount as the company
demand restoration of land and
fifty thousand dollars damages.
Able counsel have been engaged
and the case will be contested to
the last. Defendants are out of
town, but will doubtless hurry
home and answer the complaint.

AYasuinoton, April 0. MiUtwic
and Alexander Stephens have fra
temied, and seem to agree en
tirely in anticipating something
like a political millenium, and be
lieving thev will bring it about.
Chandler's friends doubt his con
firmation. All the democrats and
Don Cameron intend to vote
against him. The republicans of
Alexandria and Fauquier counties
Virginia, held meetings' yesterday
and resolved not to follow Malioiic,
but maintain the" regular republi
can organization. So many sena
tors are pairing and leaving that
the chances arc that the senate will
be left without a quorum and
forced to adjourn before many
davs.
The Cincinnati Enquirerremarks
that the ashes of an ordinary sized
man, after cremation, weigh from
five to seven pounds. "It will be
seen, therefore, that there are no
scales delicate enough to deter
mine the weight of Mahone's
ashes.1' The republicans arc not
concerned about Mr. Mahone's
ashes, but arc mildly merry over
his vote. When the proper time
conies the democrats can take the
ashes.
In consequence of the small num
ber of bids recoived for plowing, seed
ing and fencing the lands of the
Oregon Improvement companj', in the
Palouse country, Gon. Tannatt has
rejected all. But two of the bids
were in accordance with the terms 4of

peace and quiet have at last been

1 1 is not an every-dtj y occur
rence that we have to note, and it
is not without many precedents,
though the instance diffcrs'in some
respects from similar deeds which
are recorded to tlie honor of busi
ness men. In 1873 a firm failed
owing a note held by a New York
bank, which bore the indorsement
of a Boston firm, which also
stopped payment during the panic.
A few days since the bank in New
York was called upon by a repre
sentative of one of the indorsers,
with a statement of the transac
tion, which, upon referring to the
books of the bank, was found to
be correct. The gentleman, to
the astonishment of the officials,
stated that he was authorized by
the Boston gentleman to pay the
principal and interest, and there
upon handed a check for 12,300.

The bank officers say that they
had no lejral claim to the amount,
that the bank had changed its
charter, and had itself experienced
financial difficulties, but the gentle-
