ONGRESS. Spicy Debate on the Legislative Appropriation Bill. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S LANDAULET, The Items for Carriages and Horses Stricken Out. Incidental Discussion of the Cur- reney Question. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Wasuinaton, April 25, 1874. Mr, HuRuBvT, (rep.) of Ili., from the Committee on Railways and Canals, reported a bill for the construction of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Ratiroad, and for the performance of all govern- ment service free of charge. Referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. The House then went into Committee of tho Whole (Mr. Woodford, of New York, in the chair), THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL. The amendment pending yesterday appropri- ating $1,000,000 to pay judgments of the Court of Claims was agreed to without discussion, Mr. Nesmira, (dem.) of Oregon, moved to strike out trom the paragraph relating to the Department Of Justice the item of $1,400 for the care ana sub- sistence of the horses and $600 Jor repairs to car- Fiages and harness. He spoke of the Attorney General’s $1,100 landaulet, and remarked that law- yers of his (the Attorney General's ) calibre in his State rode on the outside of a $50 mule. (Laughter.) There was a Spanish proverb to the effect thatif you put a beggar on horscback he will ride to the devil. (Laughter.) Mr. NEGLEY, (rep.) of Pa., objected to the com- parison of an oflicer of the government to a beggar on horseback, Mr, NesMIvH—1 simply referred to the mule. (Laugnhter.) Tne CHasRMaN—The gentleman from Oregon ‘will continue, being carelul to keep in order, Mr. N&sMITH—1 was only quoting the Spanish proverb, which says—“Put a beggar on, horse- pack, and Le will iide to the devil,” I have no objection to the termination of the journey in that particular airection, but I don’t want the people to pay jor transportation. (Laughter.) Mr. DuRHAM, (dem.) of Kentucky, said that, as a sub-committee of the Committee on Contingent Expenses in the Department of Justice, he had Investigated the subject, and would be prepared i a day Or two to make a report of the extrava- gances of that department; but he now desired the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations to state how many horses were provided for in this $1,400 item. Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.) of Onio, replied that the bill said noting about the number of horses. He sup- posed it would be as many as Could be provided Jor with that amount. Mr. DURHAM repeated the question in a some- what different form, and said that he wanted a frank and candid answer. Mr. GaRFIBLD replied that the Committee on Appropriations had required from the Attorney General a full detailed statement of his contingent expenses for the pasi year, and that instead of appropriating a sum in a lump, as had been pre- viously done, the committee bad now reported appropriations in close detail. ir. |AM—I still put te question to the gen- tleman, as he has itemized the matter—how many horses this item is for? Mr. GARFIELD—If the gentleman, as & snb-com- mittee, has made @ carelul pyicetigatien be can answer toe question as weil as I. Mr. DuRuaAM—Taere were three horses kept in the past year. I want to know how many there are to be for 1875. Mr. GaRFIELD—The number of horses in the fu- ture, 1 suppose, depends on tue amount appro- priated for their care and keeping, Mr. DuraamM—How much have you provided for? Mr. GanFreLp-I am utterly incapable of tur- ishing brains to understand my statement, Wo have limited the amount to be Osed ior the keep- ing of horses and the repair ot carriages. If tae otleman uke that the amount is to large let im move to reduce It. Mr. Dunuam—If{ have not the bratns'to undef- stand I have the candor and honesty to answer; but the gentleman who is at tne head of the Ap- | propriation Committee, and who asks tor an ap- propriation of $1,400 for Keeping horses, will not fave the fairness or candor to auswer on the floor of the House. 1 willleave the House to judge be- tween himself and me. Mr. GagrigLD—There is no need of any heat sbout this matter. ‘I'he Attorney General stated to she Committee on Appropriations that he 1s not only compelled to run the Court of Ciaims on the foverauient side, through nis assistants, but also attend to ail cases in the Supreme Court to the Uuited States is a party, Sy that there is not a day that he oes «=not require the use of @ horse and sarriage, and it makeS no difference whether it hall be 0} es the government owns of whether fis hire | If gentlemen want to break down the Rabits of years and sweep out all arrangements jor horses and carriages for the Geparements, very well. {have no quarrel with that policy, except | that it has not been the custom of the government | for the last seventy-five years. I know that tuere | have been abuses in regard to horses and carriages | 10 the various departments. These abuses are older than any member of the House. There has been no Attorney General since the foundation of | tae government who has not been furnished with | orses and a carriage by the governinent as a part of bis official outit. ‘here is not an hoar | of the day when the heads of de. | partments are not liavie to be called upon to meet the President im Cabinet. I kuow that some of them, in view of all which has | been said on this subject, have expressed their | wisb to have the whole thing abolished. I believe br rejation to the Attorney General, there has been purchased for him an expensive carriage, which ought not vo have been purchased, 1 be- eve that was an improper and indelensible use of the contingent fund, im a way which noue of us are here to defend or approve. That, however, Was dope, as the committee was assured, not vy te Atiorney General in persun, but by one of his subordinates, tue fund hav. always been managed by the chief ' cierk or one of his assistants. The Attorney Gen- erai had no knowledge of the matter of expens> and bad regretted what had happenea. My own impression is that while the occasion has fur- nisned us with the oppurtunity to correct this thing in the future it is somewhat atigenerous, somewhat unkind, to take a special case of what has been an old habit—perhaps I should say an old abuse—and throw all the burden of it on tne shoul- ders of one man. Iain here to extenuate nothing, to conceal nothing, but to state just what was un- derstood to be the facts and to appeal to the judg- ment of the House as to what ought to be done. Let us do it as a question of general management, ; not in the spirit of tue persecution of an officer. Mr. MAYNARD (rep.). of Tenn., asked Mr. Gar- field whether the salary and emoluments, car- riages, horses aud everything cise allowed to the Attorney General were or were not adequate to sustain the position so that a poor man could pro- perly flit. Mr. GARFIELD replied that he did not think that a carriage tor the use of the office should be cone sidered an emolument, He would not vote thus indirectly to increase a salary. If the office of the | Attorney General needed for the proper discharge of ite business the employment Of a carriage and horses is ought be voted, not to the man, but to the office. As to the aaequacy of the salary, he dia not | believe that there was any man fit for the office of Attorney General whose professional services would not render him a far greater compensatior, He had used an expression in reference to the Se from acne (Mr. Durham) which je Wished to withdraw. He nad said testy wnat he regretted, and hoped the gentleman would 1 101 I . Mr. DurHam—I accept the gentleman’s apology. Mr. Dawes, (rep.) of Mass, asked Mr. Maynard Whether he meant by fis interrogatory to Mr. Garficia that the salaries of public oficers should be eked out by any such indirection 98 carriage Ber opusites and the use of public property. He (Mr. wes) considered it a reflectiva on the adminis- ration of public aifairs which his iriend from Tennessee should deiend the administration against rather than cast upon it, Mr. MaYNakp remarked that the Attorney Gen- eral, in going from his office to attend ‘Cabinet meetings or to the Supreme Court, had either to Fide in jus carriage or go toa stand and hire one, or io a street car. Mr. Woop, (aem.) of N. Y., characterized the practice of heads of departments using public horses and carriages for their private convenience #8 4 Snamesul abuse, But he denied that the prac luce was one of long standing or o1 any standing, ior to republican administrations, The Chiet ustice Of Lhe United States, including John Mar- shall und Roger B.

A bl had been reierred to his committee (on Civil Ber- Misa "a good strong. box wagou, made very a wi subetantiaity.. ‘Tht: had been introduced by the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. O'Brien), and he fie. Kellogg) did not know but that it was intended to provide a gooa Hh fora Maryland wagon maker, He had looked into the matrer and had found thatin almost every case tne carriages used by the heads of departments were one-lorse covered carriages, not landaulcts, He hoped the House would put its foot on this littic superser- viceable sort of an attempt to throw discredit on officers not altty 0) any extravagance. Mr. G. F, Hoar, (rep.) of Mass., did not agree with Mr. Kellogg that this was @ small business, The question whether any officer of the govern- Ment should make cpERvatel use of the puo- lio property, | OF the services of ‘any person paid by the government, was one of tne most Aportens questions that could come betore the House, Every possible safeguard shouid be devised to prevent such an abuse, and should be applied to every civil and military officer of the government, from the President down to the groom who gave the oats to the President's horses, The question whether the public service Tequired the use Of horses ana carriages by the Attorney General of the United States was a sep- arate question. He believed that a reasonable and decent conveyance should be proviced for tue Attorney General, and he asked the gentleman from Oregon (Mr, Nesmith) whecher he would ike to have the Attorney-General rige down Penn- sylvania avenue on the pack of a $60 mule. Mr, NesMirs, gem of Oregon, first noticin; the statement of Mr. Wheeler, of New York, sai that that statement showed travagance had been increasing at the Fatio of the difference between a $200 wagon and o $1,600 Jundauiet. In reply to Mr. Hoar he said that he had seen the Attorney General General ride in Oregon on 4 mule; that Philip the Second of Spain rode an Andalusian mule through the streets of Madrid when he went vo marry Mary of England, and that sacred history that the ex- gave ao account of a better man whan either of | them riding on one of those usefu! abimais that bad no pride of ancestry and no hope of posterity. (Laughter.) Mr. O'BRIEN, (dem.) of Md., replying to Mr. Kellogg, stated that his bill was to proninit the use as private servants of persous in the empioyment of the government and borne on the rules of the departments, ir, E. R. Hoar, (rep.) of Mass., defended the use of the public ‘carriage and horses by tue At- torney General. That was ay much a reasonable and proper provision as stationery and oliice jue) were, Mr. Warp, (rep.) of IIL, read a lecture to repub- Mean members jor justilymgand delending the abuse. Mr. HOLMAN, (dem.) of Ind., said that this was the first time that Congress was called upon to vote distinctly On Such & proposition. Hitherto it had been allowed in a lump sum. Mr, BuRKOWS, (rep.) Of Mich., favored striking out the item, Mr. WILLIAMS, (rep.) Of Wis., said that the ob- jection to the thing was that it was a little, ped- ting, picayunien attempt which smirched honor | and shrivellea manhood in the eye of the Amert- Can nation and of the world. Mr. U'BRIEN stated that ne had been informed yesterday by a committee of government employcs that they Had been compelled, through the tureat ot being deprived of their HERNAN, to do menial service in the households of some of tie chier ex- ecutive olicers of the government. Mr. HALE, (rep.) ot N. Y., expressed the desire that such information should be brought formally and explicitiy to the attention of the Bouse. Mr. O'BRIEN replied that he had requested the committee to submit the statement in writing next ‘Tuesday, and he said that he would hand that statement to the gentieman from New York (Mr. Hale) and let him make 1t the foundation of any charge he might choose io present. Finally the debate was closed and Mr. Nesmith’s amendment vo strike out the items of horses and carriages was agreed Lo by 865 to 69, ‘Mr. MERRIAM, (rep.) of N. Y., started off to make @ speech on the nancial question, but was ire- quently inte:rupted by points of order, which, however, the Chairman overruled. He commented severely on the remark made by Mr. ‘remain tae ciel day, that the currency was based on moou- shire. Mr. TREMAIN defended himself, and said that that remark was made In the same spirit of Jocose- ness that the remarks of the (tals from Mis- sourt (Mr. Parker), to which they were a reply, were made. He had during the war and in his professional capacity assisted in maintaiuing the constitutionality and validity of the Legai Tender law. If, however, he had then been asked Whether it would be continued in time of peace, he would have been inclined to @nswer, as Mr. Lincoln had answered an address against arbitrary arrests, that there was just a3 much danzer of them being continuedin time of peace as there was of asick man who hud been taking calomel and jalap continuing to take then when his health waa restored, He (Mr. Trematn) thought the greenback currency the best irredeem- able currency that had ever been issued, tor it was only twelve or fourteen per cent below par, while ordinarily, in the ot the world, irredeema- ble currency had gone down to zero, Mr. SAYLER, (rep.) of Ind., asked Mr. Tremain whether his roment of the majority from the West aud south for lack of patriotism, honesty and intelligence was also in the spirit of pleasautry. Mr. TREMAIN expressed his surprise that he should have been supposed to make the slightest reflection on the honesty or integrity of the gen- tlemen from the West and South, aud he disclaimed any such intention, Mr. G. F, Hoar, of Massachusetts, moved an amenament providing that no civil officer of the government shall hereafter receive any compensa- tion or perquisites directly or indirectly irom the ‘Treasury or property oi tne United Stutes beyond the salury or cumpensation allowed by law, or shall make any private use of such property or of the services or labor Of any person empioyed in the service of the United States, which service or labor is paid ior by the United States; provided twat this shall not be construed to deprive any officer of tne United Staten of such fees as are or may be provided oy law in addition to tie salary Of such oilicer, or tae use of such property as may be expressly by law appropriated ior the use of such Officer. Adopted. Mr. WILSON, (rép.) of Ind., moved an amend- ment providing that every clerk of a Vircuit or District Court 01 tne United States, marshal or Distinct Attorney, shail reside permanently in the district where his oficial duties are to be per- formed, and shall give his personal attention thereto; and in case any such officer shali remove from his district or shall tail to give personal at- tention to the duties oi nis ofice, except in case of sickness, such office shall be deemed vacant, Adopted. Mr. RANDALL, (dem.) of Pa., offered an amend- ment that there shail be no payment on account of mnileage beyond tue actual individual travelling eXpenses of the person, Rejected. Sir. BeOK, (dew.) o1 Ky., sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter irom the Comptrolier of the Currency in defence against the allegations made against shat oilicer by Mr. Beck yesterday in reser- ence to the undistributed national bank currency. Mr. PHELPs, (rep.) Of N. J.. complimented Mr. Beck on nis Maguanimity in the matter, ana re- marked that while the $25,000,000 which the East now nad beyond its proportion should be taken and redistributed as fast as called for to the South and West, he should vute against the but for that purpose, because the $25,000,000 would only @ sop and would be Still keeping up & wrong and unjust system. What was Wanted wus not $25,000,000 or any definite amount ol currency, but @ destruction of the banking monopoly and the establishment of iree banking jor ali sections and for all States. Mr. Beck objected to Mr. Phelps’ statement that he had taken back anything which he had said yesterday. He had not done any such thing. He had caused the Coiptroller’s letter to be read ve- cause he could uot be heard in his own defence, He (ir, Beck) Maiatained what he had said yes terday, that the Comptroiler had not ad- ministered the law; toat the $54,000,000 tn his hands ougnt to have been dist:ivuted to the States wich had not received their propor- tion. The Comptrolier had been circuiating Speeches of members on the financial question, and bad gone out of his way time and again In the interest of the rich eg or aristocracy o1 the East and to the injury of the people of the West and South. « Mr. DAWES, (rep.) of Mass., replied to Mr. Beck, and said that the Bastern States had come by ex- | cess 01 bank circulation through no feuit of their own, but because the West and South would not take It, having found more profitable investment Oj their Money elsewhere, li it were nece-sary ior @ proper distribution of the currency that 25,000,000 be withdrawn from New Hngland, ew York and New Jersey, he did not think me; would be ‘jound resistin: it. ane, esired two things—they desire free banking on the basis of greenbacks at par; be did not desire to bring greenbacks to par by such contraction a8 Would muke the hoider of the greenback pay the difference between its present Vaiue aud it8 par value. They desired that the government should pay that difference. The gov- erument had made the promise and forced the people to take it; the government and nobody else had depreciated it; the government and nobody else should pay that difference; the govern- ment had not got the gold to pay the diiterence ; the govern: t should say, as an houest man would say, “I will do the next best thing—I will exchange for the greenback I nave forced you to take a government bond bearing such an interest ag will make it par,” and then the government et make banking iree all tarough the United ¢8. Mr. OLEMENTS (rep.), of Il.—Is the gentle- man irom Massacausetts in favor of increasing tue EN ed tae i tndevtedness of the govern- ment! Mr. Dawes—No sir; I. am in savor of haying the Government do one Of the two things—keep ita promise or do the next best thing; give an inte- rest-bearing bond for it, My iriend from illinois (Mr. Clements) does not mean to suy that he would neither pay bis dept nor give his bond tor it. The United States should eituer pay its notes in gold or do the next best thing, promise to pay them in got, and then you may have free bank! and have 1 sale, Just as they had it in New York before the war, apd just a8 saie as any system banking in the world, But if that cannot be done, take your $25,000,000 from New Engiand, New York and New Jersey, and dis- tribate it through the West and South ti you please, You will not find New Engtand, New York and New Jersey resisting any such just measure as that. Mr, Kgu.y, (rep.) of Pa, asked Mr, he had not assisted in voting down a Proposition by which greenbacks should be eD- changable for bods ? Mr. Dawss replied that he bad assisted In voting down a proposition which would exchange the Ree i0F @ three-sixty-fve currency bond, er the seseny, that that would bring greenbacks jownsbelow eighty. Mr. KeLLeyY—Did the gentleman propose any any substitute oramendmisnt so as tO save the greenback from its present condition of rep! Mon by the government? Mr. DawEs—Ob, yes. The gentleman from Ten- ; Ressee (Mr. Maynard), who had charge of the Currency bill, Knows tiat I sougut the fluor every day up to the last moment to offer an am ment ior the very purpose of doing what I have suggested to-day. Mr, KBLLEY—Will you explain how the accept- ance of the greenback in exchange for an interest oh bona of the government will recuce ite Mr. Dawxs—It will apprectate its value. It wil make the greepback an’ the bond var and par when they are exchangeable one for the other, and when the bond bears gold terest at just such @ rate as will make it par (four and a half per cent vor thirty years or five per cent for twenty years) that will bring the greenback to par and will make the government, ana not the nolder of the greenback, pay the diiference, Mr. KELLEY—How would the acceptance of the grernnark in exchange for a 3,65 bond depreciate it Mr. Dawsgs—Of course the making the green- back and a 3.65 currency bond exchangeable would make the greenback and the bond have the same price. Everybody knows that if a five per cent gold bond stands to-day at par a 3.65 per cent gold bond would stand at eighty, and a 3.65 cur- Tency bond would be below that. When that is exchangeabie for greenbacks and when the one 18 worth just as much as the other, then if the bond is worth only eighty the greenback cinnot be worth more, Alter iurther discussion on this point the read- | mgand consideration of the bill was proceeded with. Alter some discussion and amid great noise and | contusion, members cxnibiting great impatience at any disposition to talk, and meeting at such Attempts with vociferous shouts of “Vote |”) Ques- tion”? the third section of the bill increasing the office hours of the departments trom six to seven Was struck out. This was done on the motion of Mr. Lawrence, (rep.) of Ohio, who contended that the section would diminish the hours of lavor, which the law now fixes at eight; but the action of the committee in pitta out the section seemed rather to be governed by the idea that the section was objectionuble a8 proposing an increase of hours. The last section of the bill, which provides that on the 1st of July each year al! unexpended bal- ances of ppbropriatians that shall have remained upon thé books of the Treasury tor two fiscal years Shall be carried to tne surplus fund, was amended on motion of Mr. Conger, of Michigan, and Mr. Tremain, of New York, by making exception in favor of river and harbor improvements, light- houses and certain public buildings, partucularly the Albany Post Ottice, At last the consideration of the bill was con- cluded and the committee rose. The main ques- ; tion was ordered and the House at six o’clock adjourned, THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. The Cayuga Lake Railroad in Court. Before Judge Lawrence. There was a long.argument in this Court yester- day, in which the Cayuga Lake Raliroad was the sabject Matter under consideration, and to which more interest attaches than to ordinary railroad litigation through tue appearance of Mr. Wil- lam M. Evarts as one of the counsel, The papers ip the case show that the Cayuga Lake Railroad Company was duly organized to build a railroad about forty miles in length, with @ nominal capital of $1,000,000, According to the statement in the sult now pending before Mr. Justice Lawrence $650,000 was subscribed and $400,000 paid in, A first mortgage of $800,000 was issued and negoti- ated, but the road fell into difficulties, In 1872 Messrs. Elliott Oollins & Co., of, Philadelphia, of whom one member was a director tn the company, were bankers for it, and in the course ot their busi- ness aavanced it money which made them cred- itors for $122,000, Subsequently a meeting of the directors was held, at which a second mort- gage was authorized of $400,000, and pro- ceedings have been late! begun by Mr. Stillman to foreclose — this mortgage for failure to pay the interest. Pro- ceediiigs have aiso peen begun by a Mr. Bound, in the Bankruptcy Court on a@ $10,000 note of ‘the company, under which the company has been declared bankrupt. The present suit is instt- tuted by Messrs. Eliott Collins & Co, to restrain the foreclosure of the second mortg: They aver that the treasurer of the company, Mr. Dela- fleld, engaged tnem to make the large advances they did, by representing that the floating acot was but $200,000, when in reality it was nearer 400,000, The complaint also charges a conspiracy be- tween Delafield and others to get possession of the road and exclude the unsecured creditors. It charges, in addition, tnat Mr. Bound merely repre- sents Mr, Stillman, in that bis proceedings in bank- Tuptcy were based on a past due note aseigned by Stillman or some other of the parties panep iting. @nd that as soon as it has been accomplished those proceedings will be withdrawn. It charges that $249,000 of the second mortgage bonds heid by Mr, Stillman were part of original $400,000 deposited with the Messrs. Leonara, Sheldon & Co., for sale for the purposes Of the road; that Leonard, Shel- don & Co., having aa’ unsecurea debt for $130,000 almost identical im nature with that of the platntiifs, without any lawiul right claimed a Hen upon the unsold valance of bonds in their hands, parted with $75,000 to E. D, Morgan, trus- tee of the mortgage, for $50,000 of the debt due to them, and suld the other $174,000 under a pre- tended foreclosure of a lien for $80,000 balance of their debt, to Stillman, all in pursuance of the alleged conspiracy. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Law- Tence took the papers, reserving his decision. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The Litigation Between the Recelvers of the Guardian and Bowling Green Savings Banks. Before Judge Donohue. Interminable litigations seem destined to grow out of the failures of those two notable Savings banks—the Guardian Savings Bank, of whieb Wil- liam M. Tweed was President, and the Bowling Green Savings Bank, of which the late Henry Smith was President, and of both of which Walter Roche was Vice President. Shortly after receivers vwutions—Mr. Shepherd Knapp being the receiver of the Bowling Green Savings Bank and Jeremiah Quinlan the receiver of the Guardian savings Bauk—s controversy arose between the two as to which was entitled to receive $14,000, a surplus growing outol some mortgage transanction ip which both banks claimed an interest. the dispute of the respective claimants the matter was reierred to Judge Sutherland, and on the election of the latter as City Judge was continued belore Mr. Scott. The investigation before both referees occupied about eight months, and necessi- tated the examination of some 100 witnesses, A report finally having been made by Mr. Scott in favor of ir. Quinlan, the receiver of the Guardian Savings Bank, a motion was made yesterday by Mr, James W. Gerard to confirm the report, After quite a lengthy discus- sion, Mr, W. ©. Trall appearing in opposition, the case was adjourned for a fuller and final argument till next Friday, Interesting to Trades Unions. Several months ago the New York Benevolent Society of Co-operative Masons expelled James Doyle, & member, upon a charge of working under society rates and on a struck job, As he denied these allegations and, moreover, while at work, was disabled from farther work by an accident, he sought vo be reinstated and to be paid, &c.,a week dne him as benefit fund. This being rejused, his counsel, Mr, Mattnew P. Breen, avplied for & peremptory writ of mandamus directing the society to reinstate him anda thus put him ‘in @ position to be paid from tne society benefit iund. The application was resisted by ex-District Attorney Garvin; bat the points of law raised by Mr. Breen completely disarmed the vpposition, as shown ina deciston given yester- day by Judge Donohue granting the mandamus. ‘The Judge says that he thinks that injustice has been done to Mr. Doyle by the society; that Mr. Doyle had exhausted all remedies before applying to the Court, and that, under the decision of Judge graham tn the case of McDonnell against the same society, he was clearly entitied to tae man- damus asked for, Decisions.

Rather Expensive Enlargement of a Hotel. Before Judge Sedgwick. A sult brought by David Hexter, lessee of the Prescott House, against Mr. Charlies Knox, the lessor and owner of the property, which bas been on triat several days in this Court, terminated yeeterday by a verdict im favor ofthe plaintif. The complaint alleges that in September, 1871, Mr. Knox contracted to enlarge the capacity of tne hotel, Giving it sixcy additional rooms and to make cer- vain alterations and repairs and have the whole work completed by the Ist of No- vember. The work, however, the com- Piainant further avers, was not completed till the Ist of May, 18:2, For the noa-fulfiiment of this contract suit was brought for 000 damages. ‘The defence was that it was impossible to do the work within the time specifed; that de- Jay was occasioned on account of a strike among Dizsterers; that the work was all done by day’s work, and, being well and substantiaily don: cou!d not be done sooner.
