Supremacy of Military Discipline Asserted— Prison Walls Battered Down and a United States Soldier Released—The Gen- t les Rejoicing Over Muni- cipal Discomfitare. Saut Lage Orry, Utah, June 11, 1874. Some timc ago General Morrow, commandant at Camp Douglas, presented the subject of the arrests made by the municipal authorities of tnis city of United States soldiers to the War Department at Washington, claiming that under the artictes of war soldiers are to be tried by military, and not by civil authorities. The Judge Advocate approved of this view, and yesterday informed General Morrow that the city authorities could not try or punish a soldier for violation of municipal law. The Secretary of War sent accompanying instructions directing General Morrow to assert the supremacy Of military dis- cipline. A test case occurred to-day. Peter Clinton, an ignorant Dogberry, refused to deliver up a soldier, who was imprisoned. General Morrow immedt- ately sent into tne city Major Gordon, with a com- pany of cavalry, battered down the prison door and released the man. The public enthusiasm was intense, Mormons and Gentiles cheering the assertion of the federal authority. The Mormon authorities were conve- niently absent at the time, and the Gentiles and Itberal Mormons are rejoicing. This is the first time that federal authority has been whmistakably asserted in this city, and the people are electrified with gladness. The dilatory and insincere action of Congress on Utah affairs is nauseating to the People here, Who want the Poland bill to pass, and trouble is inevitabie if something decisive is not soon done.

My Dear Srr—Your letter of the 4th was received | on the sthinst. The letter addressed to Ueneral | Bristow, the new Secretary of the Treasury, that came enclosed therein, { handed to that otiicer on | the day of its receipt. 1 informed him who you | were, aud what you had done for the elucidation of | the problem of our finances. He said he would | careiully read your letter, and I am sure he will appreciate tae suggestions therein put iorth, “Wall street” 1s not always the best judge of men. The bu.ls and bears know each other, and | are apt to judge all the rest of mankind by what | they know themselves and each otler to be. Be- sides, just now, there are altogether too many men who know ali about the currency of the country and finance generaily, whose certain knowledge on these sunjects is inthe way of a | speedy adjustment of tne question. A man who | has no financial hobby may soon educate himsell to acorrect comprehens.on of what the true in- terest oi the country requires. There are many ou Whom much time Will have to be spent to teach | them to unlearn their preconceived and erroneous | pet opinions, | The new Secretary, | am sure, is not one of these. To @ ijetter of inquiry from a iriend 1 have said of him:—“ I don’t wonder that you feel solicitude in regard to the new Secretary. He 1s not suficiently known to the general | public to be fully appreciated. I have great | faith in his ability and business qualifications, I believe that he wiil leave the mere routine of | | this great financial mili to his legal and responsible | subordinates, and that he will thus be able to de- vote his intellectual and mental powers fuliy to | the finances of the couutry; and thag he will in- | augurate a system based on such just principles | Of political economy as will challenge the appro- vai of an intelligent people. The father of the Secretary, who sat in Congress | with me, and whom { knew Well, had the reputa. | tion of being the honestest man in all Kentucky, | I believe the son has inherited this good quality, | At apy rate, such is his reputation; and nis frank, open, honest face carries tne evidence of it. 1 am satisfied that the President had his reputation for integrity and for sterling common sense in view when ne made his selection of nim for the most important piace in the government, I don't think thut he 1s wedded to any particulat scheme or theory; but that he will patiently hear persons on all sides of the vexed question, and will then, alter Mature reflection, digest and announce consisteat and comprehensive plan of national finance. Lagree with you that the time of ‘drifting’ has gone by. We now need, and must have, a fixed jancial policy; and one that the masses will have h in tt8 permanency and its adaptation to the Teal Waute and needs of the country. Such 1s my present estimate o1 the man who now has the greatest power for good or for evil on this | continent. Very respectiully yours, F. E. SPINNER, ‘Treasurer of the United States.

The history of this action—a tragment only of which is presented by the record before us—has been peculiar, and if the practice adopted is to ripen into a wedent, may be regarded as unfor- tunate, Ordinarily a judgment deliberately given | upon 4 question directly in issue has been, and | enould be regarded as the law of the particular | case by other judges in subsequent stages of the litigation untti reversed upon appeal. in no other | way can justice be duly administered, or the decisions of the Courts command the re- spect of suitors and the pubiic. The oniy question in this case is as to the status of the plaintiff’ and their rights to maintain the action. That was first presenved bi toe demurrer of the deiendant first served wit! process, and the decision was for the plaintuifs, overruling the demurrer at Spectai Term, aMrmed at General Term, the three justices sustaining their respective views in well considered opinions. Tn view of the magnitude 0; the amounts involved and the noveity and importance o! the questions ana possible loss thgt might arise from a dismissal of the appeal, I Incline to torego the consideration | of the question of the practice and consider the | appeal upon its merits as if no question existed as | to its regularity. & WRONG AGAINST THE COUNTY. It is not averred that the money in any legal sense or equity belonged to the piaintims, so that the defendants can be charged with the same as { received to their use, Or that the wrong was per- | petrated directly againat the State or the people of the State. The title to and ownersmp of the money sought to be recovered must determine the | right of action, and i the morey did not belong to | some other body paving capacity to sue this ac- | tion cannot be maintained. (People vs, Booth: | 82 N. Y., 397.) I'he eminent senior counsel for the | plaintit asserted that the State owned the money, and in substance conceded hat Done but the trae owner could have au action or Its recovery. class of cases reterred to and | examined at great length by counsel do not call for | an extended consideration if the title to the money fraudulently taken was in the county of New York, | and an action lies at the suit of the Board of pupervisors in behalf of New York county for its | recovery. THE RESPONDENT is not alleged to have occypied any oficial posl- | Uon, or to owe any allogiance ‘to the State, | or any O7 its civil or poltical divisions, ex- cept ‘such as every citizen owes, ana is! not charged with having occupied any fiduciary | relation to the city, county or State of New York. Uniess the people of the State as @ body politico and corporate owned and were ouyued ine the money wrongfuily ab- stracted, the defendant cannot be made a trustee for the State by reason of his tortious act. If the State has a right o: action it results irom | and as an incident of its sovereignty and must necessarily be puramount to that suvordinate body, and upon the exercise of the right by the Stute the right of the corporation must be Suspended, and upon a recovery by the State the cor- poration be barred of its remedy. Other- | wise & pasty May be vexed with two litiga- | tions, and possibiy have two recoveries against | him for the same cause of action. I find no-autuor- | ity for thus depriving a municipal corporation of a civil and corporate right of action, and of prop- erty in the discretion of the law officer of the State. A county is not independent o! the State as sovereign, and its boundaries and powers may be enlarged or curtailea. An effort has been made to distinguish the county of New York from other counties of the State in respect to its powers, privileges, Obligations and corporate capacity us | one of the civil and political divisions of the State but there is really no distinction between tt and other counties of the State which in the least afiects this question. THE RIGHTS OF THR COUNTY. The judgment of the Supreme Court ts therefore | amrmed. There ts notoiny T tacts elles in the con pinint to distinguish the ase in printinia srom ahy Obie ea t junds or property of a county haVe beei em- bezzled, stolen or tortiousiy appropriated, or tending to show the right 0: the action or remedy | Which would exist in such & case in any county of | the State which is not vested in and does not be- long to the county of New York in respect to the wrong camipiathad of here. Neuer is it averred in the complaint that obstacies exist to the county’s making and entering into such co; plaint. Was it not plain and tree from ail doi we might hesitate in giving tne judgment to witich our examination has led us, lest a fagrant wrong should go unpunished. Tosustain this action upon the ground thut the individuals acting in the transaction under the statute were State agents, and not tke ugents oi the county, would lea to serious resulta and greatly embarrass the State in Tespect to the many species of municipal obligations which had been | incurred under Legislative authority, only differ- ing in the jorm or method o! execution trom that exercised jn this case. The State cannot make the actors State agents without assuming the |, especially | if the agency tg, as claimea here, of a character | entitling the State to the fruits and benefits of the | agency. A GUBERNATORIAL VETO, Governor Dix Vetoes the “Simplifying and Abridging” Legal Practice Bill. ALBANY, N. Y., Juno 11, 1874 The Governor has vetoed “An act to simplify and abridge the practice, pleadings and proceed- ings of the courts of this State.” He indorses his objection thereto on the bill as follows:—‘“The bilt was submitted to the Attorney General for his | opinion, in which the various provisions are con- sidered, and which closes with the following para- graph :—‘I have thus hastily gone over the various amendments to be made to the code and, in my opinion, they are all, or nearly all, either uuneces- sary or positively wrong, and if they should be- come law the practice of the courts, instead of | being improved, would be decidediy worse tnan | it was.’ His opinion 1s concurred in.’?

Ssiiad Central Park Garden Concert, The announcement of the performance of one Of the most delightiul works ever penned dy am orchestral writer, Mendeissohn’s Scotch Sym- phony, No. 3, opus 66, vy Thomas’ orchestra wae suMicient to attract @ very brilliant audience to Central Park Garden last night, in spite of the ine clement weather, The performance of this work was of that @nished and effective kind that might be anticipated, The four movements, the intro- duction, scberzo, adagio aud allegro, so charace teristic, fresh and genial, were dei\vered with rare expression and heartiness, and the applause which greeted each was more like what one would expect to bear during the winter at Steinway’ Hatt or the Academy than at a summer garden. The rest of the programme was equally interesting, consisting of & portion Of opus 43 of Beetuo- ven, a march from ‘*Prometheus,” a pos- thumous overture of Schubers, ‘Alphonso and Estreila,” the quaint old pastorate irom Bach's Christmas oratorio, the choicest orchestral gems from the third act of Wagner’s tamultuous *Meis- tersinger von Nurnberg,” a perfect Niagara Of in- strumentation; Spontini’s “Nourmahal”’ over ture, Berlioz’s Hupganan march, ‘*Rakocgy;” & Strauss waltz and a serenade for fute and hora. It was not astontsning. in view of such musical at- tractions, that some of the audience present bad come all the way from brookiyn. The reapectiul and earnest attention paid to tie performance was an Incontestible evidence of the influence exer- cised by Mr. Thomas and bis band over our music joving public, Pet Masical and Dramatic Notes.
