All the defendants and a number of the twelve npoetlc-a aud other prominent men wero present, besides tbe customary cus-tomary numberol mental plugs who cbeek tbeir way inside tbe bar enclosure en-closure and associate with tbe attorneys attor-neys and interested parties. Upon court being opened, F. 8. Richards, E-q., moved the court, in behalf of John Taylor, to mako a modificatiou of the opinion of the court relative to the amount !o be turned over by bia client to tbo receiver. re-ceiver. The bifria of the motion was that the amount cited in tbe opinion oftbejudce were much greater than tbe actual euaie, in which view it would be an injustice to require President Taylor to pay over tbe nominal nmount. Tbe motion waa argued favorably by A. Miner, E;q., and opposed by Judges Hagan and MoBride. After considerable deliberation de-liberation Judj;e Boremaa determined to make a modification, and at tbe conclusion ot a desultory debate, the amount was fixed at the appraised. , value of tbe property, which reduces the Bum to be tran&ferred from $161,-1 $161,-1 000 to 99,650. j Tbe order of committal having ! baeu prepared and signed by ! ttio judge, waa Sled. Judge Wil-: Wil-: liama moved ihat the opera- 1 tion of the warrant be susnemiftri until some time Monday or to day, until they had a time to Bee whether they could comply with tbe order, and if not, he then wished to make a showing; thie motion was supported on the part of President Taylor's attorneys by the statement that negotiations nego-tiations were pending looking to a disposition ot the matter by compromise. compro-mise. Judge McBride stated that the warrant was in his pocket, and he certainly would not issue it and have the defendants arrested during the pendency of negotiations. negotia-tions. Judge Boremaa said be would deny tbe motion; ho had already al-ready spent a great deal of time in the matter, much more than he wished, and that be would not suspend sus-pend tbe order. A motion had previously pre-viously been made by President Taylor's counsel that, in tbe absence ot the amount required, a bond for tbe sum, properly secured, to be paid upon final judgment, be taken in lieu thereof. This motion waa not entertained, Judge Boreman asserting assert-ing that ho knew of no authority by which be was allowed to take bonds'. He stated that should anything any-thing further be desired on the part of the attorneys, he would be in the judges' room thit morning to listen to tbeir motions. A recess was then taken. It is understood that negotiations are pending in the matter, and that the issuance of the warrant for the arrest ol the defend an to is suspended in view of the existing circumstances of the affair. It was known yesterday that nothing further would bo done with a vie.v to imprisoning the defendants, de-fendants, if at all, until to-day. In what condition tbe negotiations now stand is a matter known only to the parties directly interested.
