Yesterday mo the great Gaines' case was
considered la ohas r to consider some method
by which a settlement of the numerous claims
should be effeoted.
J. MoConnell, Esq., took occasion to say that
plaintiff had frequently been reported as desi
rous of adjusting her claims by liberal compro
mises with the partle involved. Defendants did
not have the means chearrryirg the case up tothe
Supreme Court of the Ufnited States, and he
wished o know if any proposition woOld now be
made by plaintiff's counsel. To whiob, we are
given to understand, there was no reply.
tr OPEtN OOUT.
Mr. McConnell filed a motion on behalf of five
of the defendants, asking thal. maiters in
chancery should be appoilted to examine into
the improvements on the land in litigation, and
audit the accounts between the plaintiff. The
court took the motion under censideration.
The Louisiana National Bank vs. the New Or
leans Savings Bank.
Judge Woods presiding. This was an excep
tion on the plea of reesjudicata raised by defend
ants. The opinion of the court, orally given, was
about as follows:
A case on the same facts originated in the Su
perior District Court of New Orleans under the
title of the Louisiana National Bank vs. Citizens'
Bank of Louisiana.
Plaintiffs claimed that they had p lid $2700 to
defendants on a check signed by the cashier of
the Bank of Mobile. The signature was found
to be genuine, but it was discovered that the
figures had been raised from a much smaller
sum, say $25 or 180, to $2700.
Defendant called the New Orleans Savings
fank (which filed its answeri in warranty, as the
agent of the Bank of Mobile. The State court
decided the matter in favor of plaintiff, but the
Supreme Court of the Stlate reversed the judg
ment.
Suit is now instituted by the plaintiff vs. The
New Orleans Savings Ba k in the (:itcuit Court.
Defendants raised the plea ol res .judiulia.
The question to be determined is whether the
ease made in this petition is the same as that
made in the p titiol before the Statse court, or
whether the proceedings in the latter court should
be a bar to this suit.
The opinion of the court is that the present
cause of action is not the same, the difference
being that in this suit it is alleged that the New
Orleans Savings Bank indorsed, and thus guar
anteed the genuineness of the check. It is a
diff rent cause and against a dlfftrent party.
This opinion had no ref'rernc to the merits of
the case, but the plea of res jiadicata cannot hold.
It is true the State law makes the warranty a
real defendant to a suit-a real defendant of
what? of the case brought against the real de
fendant.

THE LIABILITY OF A BANK CAHIIIER'i' SUItETIE&4.
Most of our readers will remember that somo
time ago one Wagner, cashier of the 'leutouia
National Bank, ab conded with a large amountof
that Institution's finds, and it was supposed
sought Texas as a place of refuge.
There was considerable corresepondence about
aeljustii'g the deficit, between the i)ank and Wsg
ner's friends, but naught caime of it, and a civil
suit against the sureties on the estray cashier's
bond were sued individually.
The lib Itey of sureits on cashiers' bonds has
not hitherto been detiultely settlexl in this State,
especially with regard to drafts accepted and
checks cosbed; but now, in the decision given be
low, and for the reasons enunolated by the judge,
there wdll be less doubt in the iuture. All of our
b nking institutions are intereste I in the matter,
.nd as the case was a sort of c'uee.e 'rIe'tbre' in
financial circles, we give the decision in full.
Jud::e Rogers read the following reasons for
judgment Monday morning:
Toutonia National hank vs. J. M. Wagner et
al.-No. 5557.
On the various points submitted in this case b.
exception ard determined by my learned brother
after careful courideratioir, the Court concludes
they should not be considered again in passing
unon the merits of this cause.
After the c nlpletion of the bond it was det r
mined by the board of directors of the bank to
caLncel the bind of Chas. 'Pothoff, who, as a dl
rector of the bank, was prohibited by law from
signirg the bond. T'hls was done with the con
sent of Wagner and the bank; the other sureties
were not notitled.
It is also alleged by plaintiff that one of the de
fensda its, Oertliug, became substituted for Put
hoff in the bond.
The real q iestion is. did this fact of the dis
Ichrgo or release of l' houff vitiate the bond and
operate a discharge to the other sur tiueu?
This case has been present, d to the Court by
counsel with great oare and ability, and I have
given much time to a connsideration of thile points
suggested and the authoritie.s to which I have
been referred.
There can be no question that an alteration or
change in an instrument whichl aff ,ce the liabili
ties of the parties to the ins runm -n, or releases
one surety without the consent iof his co-surety,
vi iat.s the bond, bait it depends entirt ly upon
the nature of the instrument and the una re I'
the oblilsations assumed.
The authoritme relied on by defenrdants all
sustain this theory, but it will be seen from ex
amination that they are deolsious upon obligations
joint and several in their nature, where a-h
party was bound for the entirety, either by con
vention r operation or law. Under such a con
tract the party who pays has recourse against
his co-sureties, and can fore a contribution.
'there are the obligations to which the articles of
the Code cl ed by def ndant refer.
In the case before the court, thl sureties have
stipulated and di.termined the extent of their
liability, not for the full amount of the bond, nor
for equal portions, but in certain determined and
epecitled amounts-some for greater amounts
than the others. No matter how extensive the
defalcation in excess of the amounts for which
they buond themselves, they could not be held
responsible. Althongh the sureties have ap
p;ared and bound themselves in the same act, I
am of the opinion that it has the same effect if
they had executed their obligations as individuals
in sep rate and distinct acts. The obligation is
several and no privity exists between the on sure
ties. C. U. 2078-20lt4.
Is is also contended that the discharge of Pott
hoff ff. cts the motive which induced the de
fendants to bind themselves-that as Pot~h,,ff
was an oflier of the bank, he could the better
care for the interests of the sureties, and enjoyed
opportunities to supervise the acts of the casihir.
iUnder our law, sureties who bind them
selves for a principal who obliges himself
to well and faithfully discharge his
duties, guarantee the intigrity of the
officer. It is their confiience in his fidelity and
ability that induces them to undertake the bon I,
nt a m strust and dependence upon the vici
lance of another to detect wrongs against which
they assure the employer.
In my opinion the bank acted in this matter as
proeptly as could be required, certainly as
promptly as prudence and regard for personal
riehbs rcqu red. It is my opinion, therefore,
that the release of Potthoff did not change the
liabtity of the other sureties, and the same rea
soning will apply to the failure to sue Schwartz
and Stern, who, however, I do not think, under
Sthe evidenuce, are discharged from liability on the
band.
The case of Oertling differs materially from
that of the other di f ndants. If lie is bound he
is bonud as the subettlue ir Potthofl. There ap
pear on thiesrond Jest above his signature, wait
tell in dill rett I k, aid, in my ptuiion, at a dif
ferett time, the words "substituted fr l'ott
hoff"
the evidence does no' warrant me in conclnd
inug hat erting was a ptrty to nlli a cti tact.
Nor in my opil ,nu does thtl view afl,:Id relief to
the other def n laants.
The case which has controlled my opinion is
one to which my atte0n:oI has been called by the
couns-l for plaintiff. Cor.ios et al. vs rt.eder et
al. 1 Barn. A Crets, 682.
I cannot couei er that the p irchase of stock Iy
Wag er in his can t ame was realy a tra,,sacztio
for toe bemfit of the bank. Thonugh couuns- in
argument Wave strenuously urged this, there is
U evidence to justif- such a conocleiou, and the
c ,nrt cr:.ain y canfot preeluie that the act was
in fraudemt legf. The P.Oper v ew to be taken
is that Wagner took this money from the bank and
approprnated it to his own use.
I do not think the sureties are liable for the
G todman overdraft.
It cannot be held that as the agent for a depos
itor, entirely apart (rom his dutteý and powers as
cashier, the sureties are responsible. To follow
the resonmg of plaintiff's c:,nrsel on this point
would ble Going great ir justice So those already
reatly itnjred by the miloondnot of a bone
H dl these views, I consider it unnecessary
to as further on the matter urged before me.
The amounts for which the sureties in this
matter are liable are

French Army.
The drawing for the annual conscrip
tion recently took place in Paris. A cor
respondent writes: There is a remark
able difference in the bearing of the
young conscripts as compared with
times gone by. Before the war, when
every French recruit thought himself
already more than a match for three
full-grown soldiers of any other nation,
f the youths after drawing their numbers
used to march about the town in groups
headed by a flag-bearer, and singing
frothy patriotic songs till they were
hoarse. Then they retired to the wine
shops and became precociously pot
valiant. Sometimes they indulged in
revolutionary airs, and were dispersed
or arrested by the police. The town
for several days resounded with their
shouting and singing, and the con
scription was the great event of the
moment. But no..s arons change tout
ecla. The conscripts still pin their
numbers on their caps and stick tri
r colored rosettes or ribbons in their but
ton-holes, as they did when France was
tle gratde nation, but that is all. They
no longer parade the streets with ilags
and drums, and they appear to have
forgottou the so-called patriotic songs
of yore. They go quietly In twos and
threes to the conscript ion office, and
Scome back quietly in twos and threes;
and of course there are some excep
tions, but these are few and far between,
a and the conscripts on the whole are
serious, not to say sad, for Frenchmen.
B The conscription is treated as a graver
affair than formerly; and, although
most of the recruits slill think it ne
cessary to celebrate the event by a glass
or two at the wine-shop, there is none
of that vain self-contfience and fatnfar
ottinade about them so objectionably
and fatally conepicious during the last

ICincinnati Enquirer. ]
SAL-T LAKE, April 27.-In the famous
Ann Elizat case against Brigham Young,
it was decided to-day by Judge Schaef
b fer that the defendant and plaintiff
- were married April 18, 1868, de facto,
- but not de jure ; that at the time of the
t tide facto marriage the plaintiff was conm
Spetent to enter into a valid contract,
Sbut the defendant was not, because he
a had a lawful wife then living. The per
Sson, Sidney Rigdon, who performed the
r marriage ceremony between the de
d fendant antl Mary Aun Angell, in Kirt
Sland, Ohio, in 183i, had no license au
0 thorizing himn to perform such core
mony, and none was needed to make
Sthe marriage valid. The ilaintiff and
I defendant cohabited together as man
r and wile for sever-l years after their tide
Sfaclo marriage. The defendant deserted,
is ill-treated and neglected the plaintiff,
Sbut such de facto marriage was induced
andl effected by undue influence and
coercion.
Conclusion: The plaintiff is not en
r itoled to a decree of divorce; that the
d alleged marriage was andt is polygamous,
r. and therefore null and void; that dur
- ing the time the plaintiff was with the
I defendant, as a polygamous wife, she
was serving him as a menial servant,
d and would be entitled to reasonable
