It has just been flkd by Judge Clayton, of Delaware county. It is bsod on a petition flled on behalf of citizens prajhig for the release of a poor man, who, aa prosccutur in a caso, had tho costs imposed upon him, and In default of payment went to jail. Under tho Act of 18S7 tho Judge finds that tho Court and tho County Commissioners have the power to uiscoarge a prisoner wnere tnoy are Batisflod of bis insolvency. County Controller Severn has asserted his authority as such in another direction, lie to-day notified the Directors of tho Poor of Schujfkill county that under tho Controller's Act they have no authority to advertise for or award contracts for supplies, that such ad vertiiing and tho making of contracts for supplies must bedouoturough. the Controller. in anuiuou to mis, nenus noticed the Direc tors that he will not eIku warrants fnr meut of bills for advertising, or on contracts for supplies already awarded. Tho newspaper champious-of roform (?) in this borough have evidently sustained a so veresheck by the genuine policy of reform Instituted by tho Controller and County ConimUsionors. The developments in con nection with the election ballot contract has created a sensation, but at tho same time It nas aroused an almost general eipreosion of connaenco in tue public officials interested. The attempt to require the otliclals to double tho price of tho contract and pay if 9.000 for wutcn me Ail-mown people nave con tracted to perform for J2.0O0, has aroused a spirit of indignation airafnst the syndicate that attempted to work the scheme and the threats of suit against tho Controller uti1 Commissioners for saving the county $0 O(K) nn(h.
