what the 1InryInpu Man s,v.

The Baltimore UniOnists seem to take
their defeat very philosophically. The
American cOngratulatcs them that
since a defeat had to come sooner or
later, as soon as the rebels should COM
mence swallowing the test-oath and
voting their strength, 1t was better that
it should come when their comrades in
other States could best afford 1t, and
that time is now Il further takes the
ground that their present defeat has
taught the Union men of Maryland that
they have no hopein the future in that
State save in the Acknowledgement of
the negro. The great political pyr-
amid, says the editor, must rest on
Its base, not on its apex. In England
and America progress is in the direction
OfRn extension of the elective franchise.
No country can be saEe>tvhere millions
of men, guiltless of crime, are denied
the right to voice in their local af-
fairs. This is the ground taken by the
american, and we notice that Judge
Bond also, in a speech, made to u COM
Pany Of friends the evening of the
election, took the Same ground. When
told of their defeat, he said that :" he felt
like Martha and Mary at the tomb of
Lazarus. If thou (the negro voter)
had been there, our brother would not
have died" We notice further the fol-
lowing dispatches to the Same effect
from a number OF the prominent Union
men of Baltimore to the Philadelphia
PresS:

The radicals have lost the city by at
least one thousand majority, and prob
ably the State by a very heavy vote.
In some counties soldiers in the Con-
lederate uniform voted, and in some
districts OF Baltimore county Unionists
were not allowed TO vote at all.
The radicals made a gallant fight,
but the Washington Interference de-
feated them. Again the path to the
capital will be controlled by rebels.

a MeSsREe.i ~ tFF 9 ~
A suit ofsome interest was tried last
week in the Court of Common Pleas of
Lancaster County, Penn, it being
that of NJ. G. Wenger Us. the United
States Telegraph company. The Lam
caster IHteEti9enceT' says g "The ques-
ton at issue involved the rights and
liabilities of telegraph companies, the
law regulating these cases being some
what uncertain, inasmuch as there
were very few, if any, tried In this
state, and none, we believe, in this
country. The main features of this
case were these: On the 10th day of
October, 1854, the plaintiff, then deal
er in stocks, ordered through his agent,
George X. Reed, of the firm of Reed,
McGrann 81 Co., bankers of this city,
the purchase Of 50 shares of Northwest
ern and so shares of Prairie du Chen
Railroad stock. q. Mr.. Reed Immediately
called at the business Office of the COM
Pnny, left the dispatch, paid for its
transmission to the firm of William d
j. O'Brien, bankers, No. IS Wall
street, New York, with whom
Reed, McGrann 81 Co. did their bushes.
The latter, according to custom, dupli-
Gated the order by letter, in which
they referred to the telegram sent. The
letter arrived in due course, on the fol-
lowing. day, but the telegram never
reached New York. Mr.. Potts, the OPP
orator here, testified that on inquiry he
could only trace 1T to Philadelphia. 1t
appears that the Messrs. O'Brien did
not act upon the letter, because they
supposed the order had reference to an
other transaction, and probably re-
quired explanation.
During the several days consumed in
the effort to buy and to find out where
the mistake rested, stocks advanced in
price. The order, however, was filled
on the 18th of October, In pursuance of
another telegram sent through this or
the other Company, but at an advance
of S462, 30 more than the stock could
have been purchased on the 10Th, to re.
cover which difference the suit was
brought. The Court, Judge Hayes,
substantially charged the jury that the
defendant was a common carrier"
that us such it was responsible in dam
ages for the non-deliyery in this case of
the telegram sent or ordered SO; and
that the measure of damages was the
difference between what the stocks
could have been bought for on the 10th
OF October and what they cost on the
18th, when the purchase was made.
The jury found a verdict for the plain
tilt for 1886 so and coStS,n I-l H tl ~. sd +

The Price OF Flour.

4-SSttSt - 4sSttSstt9G
The article under this head in the IN
TELLIaENCER of this morning, reflects
unfairly upon the dealers in flour in
this city, and the design of this COM
muntcation is to correct the error, both
OF the statement and inference into
which you have fallen. Quoting from
n st. Clairsvtlle paper which calls fif-
teen and one-half dollars an "outra-
geous eXtortion, you say, tive 90 one
dollar better than that over here" You
do not seem TO remember that there are
half dozen qualities of flour, lust as
there are in other kinds of food and
merchandise
Again you say that in Pittsburgh the
best quality of flour is quoted at SI33<.
IT you notice the reports of the retail
market reported in the Pittsburgh Com
naeTcIGt OF yesterday you will find
flour quoted the same prices as
here ranging from $l2 to Sl6 per bar
rel. There Is no other town in the
Union OF our population that demands
such fine flour as Wheeling.
The writer knows some Of the poor-
est families who insist upon having the
finest grades at the present high prices.
when Hour that will make sweet, ext
cellent and really more wholesome
bread, can be had at two dollars less
per barrel. The remedy the st. Claifs-
willie man proposes need not be applied
but our people should be content with
eoarser bread, or should not complain of
the high prices charged for white wheat
flour, which is exceedingly scarce. oW-
ing to the failure of the crops in almost
evary section of the country.
All the flour consumed here, or the
wheat to make it, is brought nom the
far west. The railroads, taking adj
vantage of the press of freight, have
ADVANCED their rates from Chicago to
Wheeling fifty per cent. since last
summer.
do not pretend to say that bread
stuffs are not higher than circumstances
justify, but / do say that taking into
consideration the freight and other ex-
penses attending transportation, bread
st9tts are sold in Wheeling as low as in
other places. aDoUBLE ExTRA.'''

THE OTHER SIDE. a
The Richmond papers have not a
great deal to say about the elections.
They content themselves with very
brief comments. The WhEg says moth
ing at all. The Dispatch observes that
'Radicalism holds its ground, and In
some States heaps up majorities with a
sort of savage delight. Massachusetts
beholds her 10000 with frantic joy.'
''It is quite agreeable" continues the
editor, 'ln the wide waste OF uufaVora-
bic events, to look upon Maryland and
little Delaware. They have stood out
against the tide of Radicalism. They
are the only States north of the Poto-
mac Which have been able to hold their
ground against the storm that has
swept over tho land. The elections in
those States render certain the defeat Of
the constitutional amendment. even
were IL doubtful before. That is some
thing to be grateful for. We trust that
whenever the Southern States 20 into
the Union, they will enter it without
the humiliation of conditions precedent
that degrade them in the dust. They
were defeated In war, but preserved
their honor. Participation in the WASH
tngton government is not so dear to
them that they should sacrifice this last
thing that is left them to enjoy it.
The Richmond Times comments as
follows:
"These results have surprised none
among US but that class of sanguine
gentlemen who were constantly pre-
dieting miracles for the salvation OF the
southern Contederacy during the dark
hours of its brief history. In what way
the radicals will abuse the vast mowers
which they now possess, it is as vet i'm.
possible TO conjecture. They NAV
either insist upon the adoption OF the
constitutional Amendment as the
measure OF our humiliation, or they
may discard It and demand sounethinSr
stlll more degrading at our hands. But
consistent with both honor and dignity
We can refuse to be made parties 10 the
schemes which have been devised tor
our degradation. We can thus pre-
serve that honor which defeat could
not tnke from us, and trust to the heal
ing influence of time and better coun-
sells. But come what may, the South
ern people should enter into no COW
enant which will bind them with dis.
honor. They are now faithfully obeying
the laws and the Constitution OF the
more" - Q
The National Intslligeacer, which has
lost its ancient character altogether, and
Is now one of the bitterest butternut
papers In the country, says:
I've believe sOberly that the result
OF thel late elections IS not a verdict in
favor OF Unconstitutional amendment.
We believe that the thinking men Of
the country are not prepared 10 make
such an inrOad as 1t proposes on til9 IN
dependence of the States. We believe
that the feeling of the people against
