Nett increase,

Thus, il will be seen, that notwithstanding
the tremendous vote given for Gen. Harrison
in 1910, greater by hundreds ofthousands than
was ever before given TO any candldate-and
notwithstanding, since that time the Wing
party has encountered losses from Tylerism,
from the false and calumnious appeals OF our
opponents to the religious preiudices OF large
class OF voters, and especially the loss OF at
least so 900 out of the 81, 900 Abolition votes
given for Brney, which in 1910 were given for
Harrison-yet the result shows an increase oil
votes for Henry Clay over General Harrison
of more than 81 900, exclusive of Arkansas,
which will add one or two thousand to the
number.
Such vote, and from such party, is one
of the proudest tributes of respect, esteem, and
affection which could be given to that iustri-
Gus statesman. That it was not successful
one is no fault Of his or theirs.-The honest
expression Of the yeomanry of this country was
overwhelmed by deceit, falsehood, and fraud
of the blacklist character. HENRY CLAY, ~
his defeat, occupies position, noble in its very
grandeur, to which JAMES X. Polk, though
invested with the empty honors OF nomina
Presidency can never hope to aspire, much les;
attain.
And who, in view Of this mammoth vote
lust cast by the Wing party and the meagrt
party against it, will be disheartened or pro
claim that we are crushed and our hopes OF al
innate success forever blasted Certainly nc
true Wing, or he who has one spark OF low
for the best interests ofhis country yet remain
ing in his bosom.

Common Pleas.


SEPT. T.-Merchants Bank, &C. vs. Eiihu Pedrick.-
This case already noticed was resumed when counsel
summed up, and his Honor charged It has been hitherto
held that in where the word memorandum" is
written the margin Of check that such check is not
considered negotiable at the Bank but as evidence OF
Indebtedness
This action instituted blythe above bank to
damages from the defendant for alleged fraudulent
alteration of a check drawn by party named William
AIacfarland with the intention of defrauding the bank
Mcfarland introduced Witness and testified
that the 9th of May, s44, he gave the defendant
memorandum check for 1916 90 in consideration of
bill of cheese bought of said defendant by witness
This check it appeared was made on the sth OF
May, upon which day witness testified that he una
BILE to pay and gave defendant another check for the
same amount upon the Merchants Bank, dated llth
May, but payable at order 1t further appeared that
the lth OF May the check presented at the bank
by defendant, with the word memorandum" which
written at the top OF the check trimmed off, and was
paid by the teller, although Macarland had no funds in
the bank at the time Macfarandsas testified that the
check was altered after he gave to defendant suese
queny the discount clerk OF the bank went to defen-
dan told him Mcfarland had funds in bank his ac-
count having been closed for several months that the
check paid by mistake and requested him to refund
which he do and said the bank must look to
Mcfarland.
Defence put in was that Macfarand bought the cheese
for cash. to be paid the st Of May; that he subse-
queny got until the st and 4th OF May to turn around
and sell bills of exchange drawn against the cheese and
that he did realize tl00 said cheese, on bill Of
exchange drawn against Robinson 4 Co., to whom IT
shipped Not being ready pay the 4th inst Mac
tarand gave the first memorandum check and on the Sth
gave its place the check in suit 1t was shown,
however by clerk of defendant that the latter was
not memorandum check, but given in the same
condition precisely shown in Court.
The Court charged that regarded the legal effect OF
the word memorandum which, it was alleged had
been appended to the check the fact Of its being written
not did not affect tho merits of the way
the other There was nothing in law to invadate such
instrument as a check a bank negotiable paper
whether the word memorandum written thereon or
not. The jury had to consider whether the check
at all altered and next, if altered was it done
fiaudulenty and by defendant but whether the word
memorandum was written not on the check in
question, the jury had to decide according to the law
which recognized distinction between the ordinary
and the memorandum check. Verdict for defendant.
Before Judge Ingraham.
jury cases being ready in the second branch Of this
court the Court adjourned.
