CIFFoRD's REPORT, Vol 1.-THE Bos-
ton Advertiser of Tuesday has lengthy and
very favorable review of the second volume of
the reports of cases determined in the U. S.
circuit Court of the First District by Judge
Clifford, reported by VIM. Fl. Clifford Esq OF this
city and lately published by Little, Brown &
Co. of Boston. We celect one paragraph:
Nearly one third of the cases in this volume
bear upon questions concerning patents. A
few more are maratine cases. The reporting
IS very well done. The facts of the several
causes are set forth clearly but without pro-
lxity. An excellent feature in this respect is
the fullness with which the points and author
tiles submitted by the contesting counsel are
given. This is not by any means always de-
sirable. But in turning over the pages of this
volume one is struck by the magnitude of the
interests at stake in nearly every case, and by
the eminence of the counsel employed. The
names ofthose who are leaders in the land
Hon. Il. r. Curtis, Sydney Bartlett, Caleb
Gushing, Richard II. Dana, jr., Thomas A.
Jenckes, u. F. Butler, and others second only
to thase-occur upon great majority of the
briefs. When such men bend their energies
against each other, a sketch of their respect
i've arguments is scarcely less valuable than
the decision rendered by the court ITSELF The
usual amount of space allotted to this pur-
pose is wisely bestowed.

MASSACHUSETTS Politics A Boston
correspondent OF the New York Times gives
the following account of the political situa-
ton in that State; My judgment is that the
Prohibitory Party has made grand flank
movement: The Republican Convention does
not meet until October. The Democrats
meet some time in September. The Repub-
Leans come last. The Democrats will proba-
bly, put up new candidate for Governor, as
John Quincy Adams is understood as favor
ing the introduction OF Chinese labor. He is
nevertheless the strongest candidate they
have. Mr., Sweetsr sis laid OH the table"
because of his speech in the Legislature last
| winter against the eight-hour movement. lie
| was formerly Wing, and is very able law
| yer. Some of the papers speak OF Chares
| Levi Woodbury. as the candidate. lie would
run well. He opposed last winter in the
| House, the Hartford and Erie five million
swndle, with marked effect. He also stands
well with the working men. Mr.. Woodbury.
| is a son OF Levi Woodbury. of New Hamp-
shire, Secretary of the Treasury under Van
| Buren,, Senator of the United States. and who
| died when Judge of the United States Su-
preme Court. He is an abe lawyer and a
| pleasant gentleman.
The Republicans will carry all the Congress
| ional Districts in this State, with perhaps thu
| exception of the two Boston districts. at pres
ent represented by Mr.. Hooper and Mr.
Twitchell. These are very close, Mr. Twilch
ell will probably be opposed by William Gas
ton, and Mr.. Hooper by Henry w. Paine
both of whom are gentlemen of old Wing an
tecedents, and are regarded as first-class mel
by everybody. Since the death of Mr. Wep
ster, no man stands ahead of Mr.. Paine at tn,
Massachusetts bar. Should be be nominated
and should he accept his chance of an e.ectiol
is less than doubtful. The same may be salt
of Mr.. CASTOR in Mr.. Twitchelfs district
AS regards the Senatorship which is to b
decided this Winter, l shall not hazard al
opinion. Things must shape themselves be
fore we can tell how they look. At presen
an apathy prevails which is almost unaccoun
table. Gen. Wilson will undoubtedly
again the Republican nominee, and if tina
party has majority in both branches he will
be elected; if it hasn't he won't be. He stand
well with the Labor Reform men for his posi-
ton on the coo!ie question, which is, in de
gree, neutraized by the ''shoe bosses" AM
other friends of universal humanity" VIII
favor the coolie business, and as John China
man is not black, would as leave buy him a
hire him. Gen. Wilson has made a yer
faithful Senator, and he is popular with tn
masses, but whether he can be reelected t
the Senate by the next Legislature is a que:
ton which no one can solve until that boo
has being, which will be in November mex
