The McDoNoGn WILL CAsE.-This case, in
which the city of Baltimore is so deeply inter
ested, is now freed from all suits except the one
pending before the Supreme Court of the United
States on an appeal from the u S. Circuit
Court of Louisiana. This is the action brought
BY the heirs Of McDonogh to set aside the will.
There was previous suit by the States of
Maryland and Louisiana against the cities of
NewOrleans and Baltimore, by which the States
sought to deprive the cities of their bequest.
This case was tried before the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, and the question of the validity of
the will was, of course. discussed The whole
bench OF flve Judges, rs we understand, decided
In favor OF maintaining the will, and sustained
the claim OF the cities. In the U. s. Court, the
Judge decided in favor of annulling the will.
The final case before the Supreme Court at
Washington will be argued and decided at the
next January term. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that Baltimore should be represented
before that tribunal, for she is now without an
advocate Of her interests anywhere Mr.. Nc
Donogh's will depends upon the civil law of
louisiana system essentially different from
our Maryland common and statute law. 1t will
require time and ability to master all the va
rious questions involved, so as to argue them
with justice to our city next winter; and we
sincerely hope that the Mayor and Council will
soon appoint councillors for the purpose, whose
,alents and character will not fail to insure n
earned and complete argument of the citv's
,laim before the Supreme Court. New Orleans

The New York Herald devotes one of its pages
in recent number to historical review of the
horse trade Of that city. The number of horses
in the city is estimated at 22,54O, and their
value at 900. The number Of men d.
rectly dependent upon the labor of their horses
for subsistence is stated at 1910, while many
thousands rely more or less upon them in the
transaction of their daily business. In 1926 the
proportion of horses was one to every thirty in
habitants; now it is one to every twenty three,
thus showing that the application Of steam to
machinery, and the different mechanical inven-
tions which have since been made, have not had
the effect of either diminishing the value Of
horse labor or reducing the number.

HIS NECK SAvED.-A man by the name of
Charles johnson, was some time since tried in
Monmouth county, N. j., for murder, and the
jury brought in a verdict of guilty, but failed
to pronounce the degree of guilt Some few
hours after, the court becoming aware Of the
error, the jury were recalled, and pronounced
it murder in the first degree-punishment death.
The counsel for the prisoner took exceptions to
this proceeding, and asked for new trial, which
was granted. After most thorough trial last
ing ten days, in which the most profound legal
ability was displayed on both sides, and an able
charge from Judge Haines, bearing heavily
against the prisoner, the jury returned a ver-
dict of not guilty! The facts of the case, taken
together, afford curious commentary upon
trial by jury; form considered, in our re-
publican government, the wisest that can be de-
vised, yet, from technichaliies or legal bubbles
even trial by jury, in too many cases, is a mere
lottery in appearance and effect.
AT the conclusion of the trial, and the an
nouncement of the verdict, the scene between
the accused and his father is described as ex-
tremely affecting and notwithstanding the in
clement night and the lateness of the hour, the
two, accompanied by rejoicing friends, departed
for their home, more than twenty miles distant
from Freehold, the place Of trial

The KANE ExTRADrrIoN CAsE.-Judge Nelson
Of the United States Circuit Court at NewYork,
on Tuesday the 26th ult., in discharging from
custody the man Kane, claimed as a fugitive,
under the Ashburton treaty, by England, deoi-
ded that all orders for extradition, in order to
to be valid, must come through the President Of
the United States, and that the order for the
arrest of Kane did not so emanate. A new war
rant was Immediately taken out, but, by advice
OF the district attorney, the marshal did not
serve it, as no application had been previously
made to the President. Kane was thereupon
set at liberty. He Immediately left the court
and sped across the Park, followed by crowd
Of over 100 persons, shouting and cheering at
his release. About two hundred of the police
we're in waiting to prevent rescue, as it was
feared some attempt would have been made to
Tree him if he had been convicted.

ADuLTERATIoN OF CoFFEE--The following
paragraph from London paper will give our
readers an idea Of the extent to which the
adulteration Of certain articles is practiced in
England:
In the course of the proceedings in the Bank
rupt Court on Friday, some curious statements
were ELECTED in reference to the adulteration Of
coffee with chicory. The bankrupts had been
very large manufacturers of the so-called coffee,
and attributed their stoppage to the Treasury
order prohibiting adulteration. In reply to
questions from the Commissioner, they stated
that when the trade was in a healthy state, and
they were able to get Cd. to 10d per ID for their
so-called coffee, they made it up half ohicory
and halt coffee; but that when the competition
of other houses () had reduced the price to 3d.,
it was made up 14os. Of chicory and 2os. of
coffee to the pound 1t was not, however, asked
how much chicory was in the chicory.
