Tho motion to (itiisli was denied on tho loth of Nov,, 1S1I7, asf per older tiled upon that day by .Indue Koch, to which action the defend ants have excepted and bill has been sealed. In view or this state of tho record ho can b irdly bn expected to consider the amo questions ur in any way to review the action us found in order nf Judge Koch. Beside the action of tlieiuryiind tii.il judge dlposes of all the counts in the Indictment save tho Slith, and theiefoie removes the greater portion of the reasons assigned in siippmt of the motion to quash. We will theicforo consider liriclly the allegation, that the failure to attach the woul "forcinac" to the name of llcnj. Kaull'maii, Is fatal. The Indictment is not a priuteil form, but one smi sally piupanil, hence the endorsement is not nlintcd hut written and the word "foio- man" is omitted We renin d this as of lorm and clearly auicmlalile, and au or ler has ( been tiled ilirietlnx an allien .ment In this rc respBct, uml also as to thu sweailng of the j (fraud Jury, so as to make the uc id show I tho truth as to the appointment of K intl'mnii , as foreman and the term of oath iidniiuls 1 ten d and how It was ndiulnltctcil." After itinji n number of authorities to sus tain thu position he takes above as In the riflil of the lourt to amend the record.. I mice. Hocbtel says : "Under language of sections , -iu ami ws vt hurt. urim. law and the au inoruies rclerrcd to It Is doubtful whethe the word "foreman" Is neccs-ary at all. lint 1 It it Is, there can bo no doubt ol the right of tlic court to rcquiio its clerk to disclosu the ! until in tlm record by showing bo was up. , i'uiiiu'u loreiuuo, ami swoin with the oll e Unuiil Jurois, and tho character of oath ad , ministered to linn. The method of swearing the foreman: whether separately or with the ouicrs, appears to no a matter of practice. in our judgment it is nut so much the truer ur method us tho character of obliga ton placed unon the cniKiicni'ii. If 1 1 , . oath be administered to tho foicinun fir.t.and as loreniaii, ant! then the others be sworn ti ohs ive the samo oath, they bauo tho same 1 obligation iinpii,cil upon their consienco tin 1 would be imposed il all the Grand Jurors bo sworn together, anil havo tho same oatl reau 10 mem ; it noes not therefore stem to bo of much COtlscOUenco whntlinr or iml. tl, foreman was separately sworn, slnco ho was placed under tho same sucrcd obligation to perioral nis only as were Ills lellows, and each and all had the .same obligation imposed upon tho conscience." Judge Ilechtcl tbeu leaves the question as iu iiiu amendment ot me record and take up the objection to tho BOtli count in the Indictment. "Tho count," ho says, "certainly charges a crime, and whilo it speaks of the iieieuoanis as oeiug tho "Hoard of School Directors," when in fact tho Hoard consisted 01 six memoirs, tins cannot bo ground on arrest or judgment. Tho omission of the w Til - ucmbers ol." alter tho word " m m.' is not tdlal. It is sullicieut to charge them as School Directors and doing so charges them in tho olbcial capacity. There can bo no question, however, nbout tho right to correct it 11 it be necessary under our I'rueeduro Act As tho sixth member had died nml who had no pait In tho matter charged, been selected in Ins stead, tho language above given is pretty close to accuracy us tho mem. hers of the Hoard. Tho evidence shows the money was panl nnd each director received his sharo before tho order was issued, and mis is urged in nrrest ot judgment. Hut i also shows that the order was isisuml nn.l made payable, to tb directors and theso fivo doienuauts endorsed It. Tho treasurer pre senteil it and obtained credit for it in bis settlement. Thus tho very thing charged is esuiuiisiicn, mo district is wrouglully quired to pay what it docs not owe. and what tho testimony shows tho defendants Knew 11 did not owe. nnd alt wero lecallv bound to know it did not owe. Tho question as to whether this payment was fraudulent and corrupt was for the juiy, and by their vernier cney mm it to bo wiltul, fraudulent and corrupt as itis charged, and surely this would make out tho crime of misdemeanor in ouire "There appears to be but 0110 question left. i..p. 1 . 1 . 1 wt'icimums coiueuii mar. no evidence was olleied to show that they had taken tho oath which as directors they wero required to take. Wo are referred to tho Act of 1895 1'. L 23-1, but this is not tho act that requires 1 mi mixing ui 100 ouiii, uie power to adminis ter the oath is conferred upon the directors Secretary and I'reiident by this act, to avoid the necessity of calling in an ollicer. The Act of 181)1, I'unlon, 348. pi. 04, requires the oath to bo taken hy alt directors before enter ing upon their duties as such, and a conv thereof snail bo entered upon the minutes of the board, wiuiutn Commonwealth claim they did show by the minutes that the oath was ot record in the minutes, yut as tho book is not now before us wo will consider it as tiinugn it had been wholly omitted Ihosituitiou then is thi. the act imniwd upon defendants tho duty of taking thu oath and noting it in tho minutes. Without per. lonniugthis duty they take upon them selves tho olllce of director, take charge of tho school property ot the schools, appoint icacuers, icvy ami cause nixes to no collected ami according to the verdict, i lemill uml fraudulently appropriate a portion thereof to tneir own uso. lien called upon to niisHc for such act, they interpose as a plea, their own negligence, their alleged railuro to per form the very first duty required of them, In effect they seek to deny their olllcial ex. istence, when called upon to answer for a inisappropiiatiou of the funds, hut assert it for all other purposes. Surely they cannot be licanl to excuse themselves unon such ground, hence it is unimportant whether the uiiuiiies snow inu lading ot tho oath, or whither It was in point of tho fact taken. In either event tliey are required to answer ns directors for their acts. While they might bo ousted for this neglect of duty in a proper proceeding, they cannot oust themselves when it suits their convenience to do so.

Mr. John Cramer, of I lie sub-treasury at Phlla tlelphla, yesterday brought lo the secret service five J.100 counterfeit silver certificates, head of President Monroe, The chief engraver at the bureau of engraving; pronounced the counterfeit a very dangerous production. It was engraed on steel and printed on two pieces of paper pasted together after colored silk fiber had been dlsttlbuted between them. Thp work, he said, was that of a very careful and excellent engraver, and while there was no ap preciable difference between the genu lne note and the counterfeit to the casual observer, under a glass many slight differences were discovered. In view of the dangerous character ot the counterfeit Secretary Gage de cided to stop Issuing and to call In all $100 silver certificates, of which there are about $':0,000,000 outstanding. These will be ex-changed for silver certificates of smaller denominations and the plates destroyed.
