The Political Situation in Massa-
a3 chusetts. 2f5i- 2

- - ~
Writes the Boston correspondent Of the
New York World in late letter:
The political situation in Massachusetts
is confessedly different from any seen here
for the past ten or twelve years. The Re
publicans have openly insulted the friends
of prohibition, and having failed in its
promises. the people generally are becom-
ing Disguised with the party. The license
party have decided in secret councilt to CO.
operate with the Democrats, and have,
through lis nearly two hundred councils,
voted with remarkable unanimity to sup
port the Democratic ticket at the next
election. This secret party is an immense
power, and is augmeDtiDg in influence and
numbers every day. The Germans, too,
have bid farewell to the Radical party
this year, believing they have already had
too much of the Puritanic idea in State
legislation. Yet, in the face Of the reac-
ton going. on in this State, the Radical
leaders and presses are studiously blind to
the fact that Massachusetts, is not going to
be behind other States in assisting in the
work OF building the great pyramid which
is TO commemorate reputation Of the
imbecility and laundering of the party in
power. That there will be a large Rad-
cal loss in the November election, is just
as sure as an election takes place. Those
who know say it is safe to bet that Adams
will receive the largest vote over polled
FOR y Democratic candidate in this State.
That the Legislature will be revolptionized,
is d foregone conclusion. Leading Radi-
calls admit this, per force of the ramihca-
tions of P.L T., an organization which
is not to be treated contemptuously, l
assure you.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT DECISION.


The case Of Dean vs.. Harvey, admins
traitor of W. Fl. Youell, has been finally
settled by the United States District Court
of Georgia. Wecopy the following sum-
mary from the Rome Courier.
Youell, in 1864, purchased Of Dean his
plantation in Floyd county, Ga, for $24,-
600 in Confederate money Dean remained
in possession, but since the war entered
into a rent contract for the place with
Harvey, the administrator of Youell.-
Afterwards. Dean fileda bill in the superior
curt Of Floyd county, TO- set aside the
sale and to epjoin Harvey from turning
him out of possession, upon the ground
that the consideration of the purchase was
Confederate money. nnd the sale, therefore
void. The superior court of this county
FIRST granted the injunction, but afterwards
dissolved il on motion Of Harvey g. Scott,
the administrators counsel. In The mean
time Dean moved to Alabama, leaving his
tenant in possession, and dismissing his
case in the superior court, and commenced
his suit by will, as before. in the United
States District Cenrt for Northern Geor-
gia, pla.ing for Injunction, relief, etc.
1'heica being asdsd on demurrer at the
present term, his honor, Judge Erskine,
dismissed the bill sustaining the rights OF
the purchase This case has excited a
great deal Of interest, and is. perhaps, the
most important one to the Southern PEG.
