Thoe defendant denles ole o defanlter. Ho admits that suit f@ peading agatnst Lim to recover apout $25,000 deticit, but alleges that lie hasa full'and perfect defenso to such suit, It 1s further stated that in September last thera wasponding In the Criminal Court 8 quo warranto on the rafimon of J. W, Horton agalnst him to try his right to the Collectorship. In that wuit the question was ralsed aw to whether or not ho was qualified to hold the oflico for 1870 by reacon of his nlleged defalcation, and the question wax decided’ ex- ressly in hils favor, so that it waa determinod that e had u rlglit to the ofiice, notwithstanding the al- Jeged lncllflblllu on account of the defalcation. §ivann alsa states that h 1a able to exccate the proper bond, and declares his Intention to do wo, and, If the Supervisor and Town Clerk refuso to ap- rave such bond, to apply to the County Clerk and Piunty Board (o Lave tham approve it e dentes expresdly his intention to e the books without glving bond, and In conclusion states that the com- plainants wiil not' be damaged by reason of the pm{mled actlon of the County Cler Mr, Evans also flled - Bt e atateil AT DAvEr in which e atated that thu Town Board of Chlcago In August, 1875, allowed him 312,'033%2 his clerk hire, compensation, aud expenses in collecting tho Bouth Town toxes. At the sama time bo was nllowed $14, 031,04, or 2 per cent on {ho umount of city taxes collected. Tho Bupervisor of the Town of South Chleage nnd some othors saasert that he was enly entitled’ (o 81,500 for all his services, hut Cyans clauned that Judge Will- fame, in the suit of Galloway ve, Evans, had de- cided that Jiu won entiticd 10" the ® per Cent. In Jconctueion, Evans alleyes that he how settled with the Caniptroller, the County 'Treasurer, the Supor- visor of the Town of South Chicago, and the Yark Commissionery, and cun show recolpta for ail his expenditures, and accuunt forall the money ho Las collected, alluwini for the money which has been allowed fur hia exponses or services, MR, HERRICK rald thore was an apparent effort to drag Into the caso the conteat butween Kvand and Cutiughan, It was sasumed for the purposes of the caee (hat Evans was entitled to ‘tho Collectorship, 1t ap- peared that tho Collector's books were ready for uehvery, Tle Town Collector had no duty to per- form “until December, alter the Assessor had done Lis uty 1n, making the asscsuments, The Icvenuo law showe the necesenry qualifications for a Collector before Le could proceed to collect tho taxes, Chap. 120 of tho Hevised Statutes, Sec, 133, provided that every Town Collector, within nll;hk nys aftor re- colving notice of the amount of the taxes to be col- lected, shonld give a hond in double the amount to De colfected, for the faithful performance of bis dutfes. e Town Collector was only responslible tothe town oficers, and waa a town officer himsclf. ‘Ihe Town Sururvhnr wad directed to flle the bond inthe oftice of the Recorder, Thoe rule wam fm- perative un the Town Collector to give a bond, but there waa a discretion vested in the Bllpor\'l-lor and Town Clerk in approving the bond. The afidavits on the vart of cumplulnant showed, und they wero not controverted, that Lich know ho bad po authority to dellver the books without abond, The County Clurk in no case had antbori- 1y to declde on tho character of the Collector's nd. No barm would result from walting ta see Whether the Snpervirorand Town Clerk approved the bond or not. The law had determined who sliould npprove the bond, It might be Infurmal or insutticient, The Court would not prexumo that the County Board would determinotha question properly, because tha luw reposed no obligation on them In the matter, +The Court hud Jurisdiction in cases where public officers attompted to go beyond thelr powers snd do somothing thut would cause damage, And tax- payers who, in_such a case, would saffer from such action, . had ‘a right to como Into Court 1o prevent such wrong. The zature of the lujury to bo apprehended ‘was [rreparable. -There Was no reason to supposo thata bond approved by the Connty Hoard would ‘be sullicient, 'Lhore was no aafety for the tazxpay- ers inleus tho proper oflicers passed on the bond. When the power was once admitled of the County Clerk to utep beyond his duty and surrender tho Collector's books without nnmorll{ to Evans, there could be no reason given why ho should not lp,FmprI-(u othor buoke to hia own use, 'he Court then took ' rucess, and at the opening of court In the afternoon MH, GOUDY made an argument on behalf of Michacl Evans, e if the injunction waa allowed It would pro- Yent the colloction of taxos from the complulnants, it would “Interfore with the County Clerk's rogular dutles, and, lasily, it would bo in eilvct to deler- mine tne right to ofico of Evans In s Court of Chancery, Tho complainants would not be in- Jured If the taxes were collected, Thera wers too many self-constituted guardians of the publlc beace who wero attempting to rmin the public officee.

Nxw Onreans, Lo., Dec. 16,—It strikes me that Mr. Horace White, in consldering the subject of **Intimldation as an Elemont in Politice, " entire- 1y ovorlooks the disease in his qualmishness as to the remedy: and, Indeed, assumes the Returning- Doard remedy to be the diseane, By a rapld men- tal process ho dismisaes the evidence recently pro- sentod to the Roturning Board as no proof of In. timidation, and passes on to ‘' presumptions, which he bases on the report of the Clarkson Fot- tor Committee. The particular matter which he quotea 18 fn relation to tha rejection by the Board of tha ratnrna from certain nolls in the Parlsh of THapides in 1874, ns followa: 1t 50 hap peus that this parish was arish of Intimidsiion, meny wit uthh part [es were examined With Tef; «ltow buvond queation there wasn free, peacenb la election avd rugly ntimdail produced, Certaln witne olegtiulders, teatified kenes Lardiy any oise wie ablu o sycel whicli he heard any employor L voler, or kuow of any euiploy dlicliarged. Not one singlo tolored man tho onlire’ parieh was prudiced to teatlly elthur Auch 8 threat or 1o (e executlon of such & Purpose, wWhether befote or aitor the n, Tha Committce, upon this fallure to obtain ovi- dence, reported that tho actlon of the Board was unjustifiable. The reort was slencd by Clarkson N. Polier, Charles Foater, and Willlam Walter Thelps. Bubsequently, when the Wheeler Com- promise waa agreed upon, the Republican members ' of tho Legislature from that parish wero ousted, and the Democrats, who recelved a majority of 350 voles, and who clafmed to have reculved them fafr- 1y, were seated. In the recent election, however, the action taken by the Jtetarning llvard In relation to Rapides Purish fn 1574 has been -|gl|‘.\“{ vindicated, nud the mjustice of the Clurkson Potler report and the subsequunt Whecler adjustment hos besu provod conclusively. During tho canvays of 1870 thecame pagn fn that parlsh wos fairly and properly con- uncted, and no effort—ot icost no Krstematic effort—at intimldation was attempted. The result has been that the Zepublicans hare elected all three of thelr Lepresentutives, and carried the pasish for their Slate und Federl ticket by o goud ma- jority, Notonly is this thie case in Rapldce. but in erery patlsh where the Wheelor Compromiseousted n Ropublican It the Luglsluture and reated o Duino- ceat, this year Republicana have been elected in their place. % Now, in the llpht of these facts, what are the “presumptions''? There was certainly sonio reason why tho colored voters Inthuse parishen Tailud to vote in 1874, and did vote and elect thelr caudidutes i 1838, 'heve s bt one cauke which wil) ardinarily L»m-m\tn colored man from vnllnr, anil that v the knowledge that f ha votcs ut all ho will be compelled to vota the Domocratio teket, 1In short, It Iv ntimidatlon, What 1 called **inthmidation, " however, fain many {nstances wore than intimidution, Ttlsco. erclon, A colored man 14 provented from voting the Republican tlcket and compelled to vote the Demvcratic ticket, There ahould De, ond there is, & word which compreheuds all the crimes under thin head. 1tis **bulldoz- g, An old darkey callud it **‘suaston, " He had voted the Demotratic ticket.
