The Sut-1reasury-IHe ETarehousing System.
:, The United States Gazette makes the follow
} ing just remarks on the subject of relieving the
country from the evils of the Sub-Treasury by
the establishment Of the Warehousing System
"'The members of Congress, and their co.par,i-
cans, who are pressing upon the people the mon
strous absurdi'y of the Sub-Treasury Bill, claim
much credit for their remedial application of the
warehousing system. In cur opinion, just in
proportion TO The remedial operation OF the latter,
is the censure for the former due to those parti-
sans. Why should the ingenuity Of Congress
be taxed to apply remedy to a non-exsting
evil !! Why should we be told that the ware
housing system greatly lessons the evil opera
tions OF the Sab-Treasury Why not open the
eyes of Congress to the supreme folly of passing
law so obviously bad, so injurious in all its
operations, as to require another law to make it
tolerabe Why infict the evil at all =! Why
create the necessity for remedy9 Really we
feel about as much gratitude to Congress for
their remedial measure, as we should to a young
surgeon, for an exhibition of lancet and cups for
general and topical bleeding, as remedy for
blow which he had determined to bestow upon
us. Doubtless venesection would assist TO pre-.
vent some of the evils of brusng, and the ware
housing system will certainly obviate portion

Sir James Graham, in his speech on Ireland
in the British House Of Commons, made the fol-
lowing gratifying statement as to the advance
which maize is making in the dietary scale:
''rhe measure for the admission of maize, free
OF duty, is operating most benefcaly. 1t is
cheaper than oatmeal; it is superseding oatmeal !;
and am not without confident hopes that ult-
mately the effect of the introduction of maize
will be, to supersede the potato principal ar
tcle OF food in that country. look forward to see
1t gradually but surely elevate the scale of living
in that country; and think the introduction Of
maize will ultimately have that effect. The pre-
ludice against it is rapidly disappearing.n

THOMAS BEwLEY and ANN, his wife, In Queen
.4nn's county
Us. court, sitting
as court Of
JAMES L. BEwLEY. term 1886
NHE object of this suit is TO procure decree for
Il sale of certain premises in Queen AIMS
county, conveyed by certain James Roe to James
L. Bewley, nonresident, in fee that your orators
may receive the difference between the sum paid
therefor by said James l.. Bewley, and the amount
of such sale, in the event that said James L. Bew-
ley shall not pay unto your orators the sum of if
teen hundred dollars, with interest from the date of
the aforesaid conveyance.
The bill states that, some years ago. your orators
conveyed certain premises TO a certain James Roe
in fee, for the sum of two thousand dollars but that
said conveyance was intended to operate as mort
gage, for that said Roe passed his bond to Thomas
Bewley, binding himself to reconvey on the pay
ment to said Roe Of said two thousand dollars; and
further that said Roe gave bond to Ann, wife Of
Thomas Bewley, providing for her annuity of
seventytwo dollars during her natural life, in case
said Ann should survive said Thomas Bewley.
The bill further states that said Roe offered to your
orators the sum of fifteen hundred dollars for the
delivery Of the aforesaid bonds, but that your ora
tors, believing the said premises to be worth more
money, and being unwilling the title should pass
out Of the family of your orators, prevailed upon
James l.. Bewley, the defendant, 10 discharge the
debt due and owing to said Roe, who thereupon
your orators aver that il was understood and agreed
between them and said defendant, that the defend
ant should have only the estate and interest therein
which said Roe had heidi and that, trusting to the
flial affections of said defendant, did not require
such obligations from him as said Roe passed, and
now said defendant hath elected them from said
premises to the great injury of your orators, and
they without remedy, except by the interference
Of this court and that the said James L. Bewley
resides out Of the State of Maryland
It's thereupon adjudged and ordered, that the
complainant, by causing copy Of this order to be
inserted in some newspaper published in the city of
Washington, District of Columbia, once in each of
three successive weeks before the first day of July
next give notice to the said absent defendant Of the
object and substance of this bill, and warn him to
appear in this court in person, by SOLICITOR or
before the second day Of November next, to answer
the premises and show cause, if any he has, why
decree ought not to pass as prayed.
