A CONTESTED WILL CASE SErTLE2.-By the
will Of the late Mason Hutchina his property
was all bequeathed TO the st. Josephs Hospt-
tai, with the exception of an annuity OF $1,000
to his nephew, Mason Hutchins DaIrach, a
resident OF California. The latter contested the
viii, but after patient bearing of testimony
the Register Of Wills admitted the will 10 pro.
bate yesterday. The estate is eaid to be worth
at least 100000 The will was contested on
the grouhd of mental incapacity on toe part OF
the testatOr. The Register reviewed the testi-
mony at great length, aud contended that in
consequence OF the fact that several wills had
been made in which bequest was made 10 the
Hospital. there could be no doubt as to his in
teDtions, that at the time of making the Will the
testator was in the full possession OF his facul-
ties; and that he was perfectly aware, not only
OF the character OF his estate, but the OBJECTS
Of his bounty. 1t was in evidence also, that
although the heir-at-law never correspouded
with his uncle for period of fifteen years, he
telegraphed all the way from Orvile California,
to have the will contested few days after its
presentation at the Registers office, The tes-
tator had made numerous efforts to learn the
whereabouts of his nephew, and falling in his
efforts left his money to the Hospital.

A RADICAL WARNING The Nation,
which is certainly the most thought
ful, as it IS the most powerful, organ
of its party, thus, in its retrospect of
the years 1865 and 1866, reflects
upon pending issues and PROPOSE
tions:
The abolition of slavery only be-
came an accomplished fact in 1865.
1t was q great event; the greatest,
perhaps the number of
persons, living and unborn, whose
destiny has been affected by it
which has occurred since Christ came.
1t was so great an event that the first
impulse of most of those who assist
ed IN bringing it about was to believe
that emancipation was IL g one thing
needful for the slave, and that once
free he might safely be left to work
out his own salvation, no matter
what dangers, moral or material,
beset him. We have awakened from
that delusicn: Most people are now
satisfied that freedom alone is a very
imperfect boon, and that he has to
be provided with the means of pre-
serving and profting by it.
One party is satisfied thai all he
needs, not only to accomplish this
end, but to become strong power of
defence for our Government, is the
ballot. They talk of it as if it were
talisman OF an elixir of life, q great
enllghtener and educator, and the
only one needed. 1t is safe to say
chat this theory, too, is undergoing
reconsideration; that every month
adds to the number Of those who feel
that the ballot III the hands of an ig-
norant man may prove but club IN
the hands of q blind Sampson, which
he may use against his friends as we'll
as foes, rs Gen. Butler has happily
termed it, and that to make it IL real
blessing it ought to be accompanied
by education. The disposition which
has shown itself so widely amongst
Northern politicians OF late to treat
education as of no political impor-
tance, is, we feel sure, the offspring
Of passing party excitement, and will
disappear under the influence of
deeper reflection and wider expert
ence.

CoTToN.-The Mobile Daily Times
says: I'VE sincerely believe that the
reign OF King Cotton is over; he
never was much of monarch,
only so long as nobody cared to up
set him; but to-day, unless there be
competition in free labor, and the
subdivision of large estates, to-
gether with repeal of the three per
cent. tax, the lower ranges of cotton,
which formed fully seven-eighths OF
the production, will not be able to
linda market remunerative enough
to Justify it's cultivation.

PROTESTANT VS. CATHOLIC The
New York Tu6tet says: protestant
theology is fast losing all hold on
the popular mind III America, and is
evaporating into din coDjectures,
vibrating between its fav.orite ex-
tremes OF a total human depravity on
the one hand, and Il doctrine Of total
manhood infaIllbility on the other. :"
1t, therefore, firmly believes that the
speedy propagation Of Catholic truth
aud the el@vatlng aud Christening in
flncnces o1 Catholic Church, are the
only things to save tins country from
falling into a slough OF intidellty.

The Eixht.Hour system.

CHICAGO, May 2.-The eight-hour sys-
tenn is already producing unpleasant re-
suits between employers and the employed.
In a large number of manufacturing ana
other business establishments operations
have been wholly or partially suspended
the men employed insisting on the new sys-
tenn as to the number of hours which con-
stitute days work, while the employers
refuse to make any such change.
In some instances employees demand ten
hours pay for eight hours labor, and In
others the employees ask eight hours pay for
eight hours labor, while others still are
willing to work the same number Of hours
as heretofore for the same pay.
The unemployed at some places have
already interfered to prevent those willing
to work. Early this morning some five
hundred gathered in the neighborhood OF
the C. B. s l. railroad shops, their object
being to close up the ten-hour establish
ments. Their first move was on King &
Brothers. undergrad, which they sum-
marily closed.
Guss s. Phillips's planning mills were
also closed. They next visited Dillon's
undergrad, where they were met by the
police, and after parley of some twenty
minutes the mob left for Fort Wayne de-
pot, where they were again met by the
police; and after much loud talking the
mob retired. Other places were visited,
but no serious results are reported.

NELSON SUPERIOR COURT-1NPoRTANT
DECIsIoN.-We learn through gentleman
lust from Nelson court that the case OF
London's heirs as. Gilmer has been de-
cided. This case has excited much inte-
rest from the fact that it involved the va
ldity of a sale of land made under decree
of the court. The facts of the case are in
brief as follows: Some time before the
war John J. London, who owned valuable
estate on James river, died, leaving his
property to his wife and children. Some
time after his death his widow married, and
a suit in chancery was subsequently insti-
tuted, and decree obtained for the sale OF
the land. DR.. p. II. Gilmer, formerly OF
this place, purchased the land, and paid a
portion of the money in Confederate trea-
sury notes; subsequently an effort was
made to set aside the sale which has just
been decided by Judge Shelley, who de-
crees that the sale shall be annulled; that
Gilmer shall pay rent for the place from
the spring of 1865, and that London's heirs
shall refund to Gilmer the gold value OF
the payment he made in Confederate mo-
ney. We are informed that this decision
is regarded as equitable and satisfactory
by all the parties to the suit-a result not
usually attained by judicial decisions

DEPARTURE OF ARCHBISHOP. SPALDING
AND PROMINENT CITIZENS FOR EUROPE
In response to an invitation from the Pope
to attend the eighteenth centennial ami
versary of the martyrdom of Saints Peter

Debts Of thc states.

AS 10 the State debts, the Financial
Chronicle of New York has taken pains to
construct, from reports of local officials,
q comparative, statement Of the amounts
owing, respectively, in 1860 and 1866. The
comparison embraces thirty two States,
whose aggregate indebtedness shows an in
crease of S96.304.SSl. In 1860 they owed
S255, $40, 709; In 1866, 1852, l54 $50. The
debt Of the State Of New York has grown
from S34, lS2,975 to s5l ,753,0s2. Massa-
chuSctts presents larger proportionate
increase, having advanced from SI,lT5,91S
TO S25,555,7A. Connecticut, which in
1860 owed modest $4,000, now staggers
under $40 900 900: New Hampshire, which
six years ago thought $50, As debt enough,
now submits patiently TO S4,l69,slS !;
Rhode Island and Vermont, which for
merly did not owe dollar, now have liza
biliticS, respectively, of S3,626,50O and
81 ,56T 800. In the West, Wisconsin has
risen from 100000 to s2,2s2,l9l: Iowa,
from 1922 .296 to 1922, 296; Missouri, from
$685. 900 to S37, l45,92S. OF the border
States, Tennessee is the most heavily in
numbered, its debt having sweiied from
$l6,6i3, GOO to $25, 277,341.
The war debts of the southern States
were wiped out with the cause they
cspouscd, and their increase of debt is,
therefore, with one or two exceptions, for
the most part confined to the accumula-
ton of overdue interest. The debt of Ala
bama has risen from S5,04S,000 to s6,3O4,-
972: that of Florida from" $685. to
S63S, S63: that of Louisiana from $40 ,023,-
9O3 TO $685. ,999 that Of North Carolina
from $9,l29, 800 to ll,43S,0O0; that OF
Virginia from S33,2AS ,l4l TO $45, ll9,4l ;
while the debt of Arkansas has grown but
nominally, and Texas, which was wont to
print a simple MI, now conteSSes to ST.
S20,360.
Some Of the States are enabled to boast
Of diminished Indebtedness. Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, belong to
this category.
When an attempt is made, then, to
estimate the financial condition of the
country, it is necessary to add TO the ST.
800, 600, 900 odd, reported by Mr.. McCuI-
loch, the 1852, l54 $50 which is owed by
thirty-two of the States and the unde-
fined hut contcSSedly enormous amounts
in which county and town organizations are
separately indebted.-Ner York Times.
