The Bailey Case.

DECISION FOR DR.. BAILEY, BY JUDGE PAxsoN IN
PHILADELPHIA.
In Philadelphia Wednesday, Judge Paxson de-
livered his opinion in the case Of desertion char
ged by Mrs. Bailey, against Surgeon Bailey, Of
this city, it having been argued on the question
Of Jurisdiction.
Judge Paxson ruled that Mrs. Bailey could not
sue for desertion Philadelphia, her residence be-
ing that of her husband, which was proved to be
Wilmington; and that the desertion did not take
place within the Jurisdiction of his Court. He
therefore dismissed thecase argued. As, s,however,
Mrs. Bailey's counsel had also commenced other
proceedings against the Doctor, under more re-
cent law Of Pennsylvania, which, as Judge Pax
son states ''seems to create distinct offence to
wit, that of desertion, which may be committed
within our Jurisdiction, whether the parties are
domiciled here or not, he also gave his opinion
on the latter proceeding, and declined to take any
action upon it.
This, we presume, disposes of these cases.
Whether further litigation can be manufactured
remains to be seen.

CUNNING DOWN THE BAY SHORE.
Anew York paperhas the following, concerning
our State: "The cunning season in Delaware
has fairly opened. Partridges and rabbits are
abundant; geese and ducks are coming into the
bays and rivers rapidly, notwithstanding the
weather is warm and pleasant. Sportsmen from
the North are daily arriving. Rehoboth and
Indian River bays are situated along the Eastern
shore of Delaware, being connected by two chan
nels, which empty into the ocean through sim
gle channel. Both bays are noted for geese and
ducks, which have fashion of all quacking at
once. The following gentlemen from New Jersey
are now sporting in these waters State Senator
Noah d. Taylor, from Jersey City ex-Sheriff
John M. Francis, of Hudson county Alderman
Toffey, of Hudson City; Mr.. George Smith, of

emptying into the Delaware bay, which is noted
for being favorite resort for Mr.. Sharp, of

The Pomeroy Railroad,



The Pennsylvania and Delaware Railroad, from
Pomeroy, on the Pennsylvania Central road, to
Landenberg, Formerly Chandlerville,) is the
line with which it is proposed to make the first
connection of the Wilmington and Western road.
The work of grading was commenced several
months ago, and is now about two-thirds done.
The West Chester papers say that operations
upon it are to be resumed forthwith, and under
auspices which insure its complete construction
at an early day.
They also add the following
"The Wilmington and Western Railroad,
which connects with ii at Landenberg, is now
being finally located, and work will soon be COM
menced upon it. with ample means the Directors
think to finish it up in six months. The Della
ware and Pennsylvania Railroad which runs
from near Landenberg to Delaware City, having
nearly settled their land damages besides in
creasing their stock subscriptions, will also soon
be in working Order and, az the route is an easy
one, can soon be built. There is every reason
to believe that all these lines will be in working
order within year."

We find il stated in reliable exchange that
the Pennsylvania and New England farmers who
had bought land in the counties about Peters,
burg, Va, are said to have become dissatisfied,
sold out, and returned to their old homes. The
reasorsassigned for this is that they cannot talk
politics and vote freely without subjecting them
selves to ostracism andinjury by their neighbors
of the Democratic party. The spirit which has
driven away these valuable citizens is the same
which some immoderate and unreasoning parti-
has already done great injury to the agricultural
sections, which need the new capital bought by
new settlers, and will do more,if it be allowed to

tion it would be, however, unless the State tax

OUR MINISTER TO TURKEY-LETTER FROM
HON. JOSEPH ]. LEWIS.

Judge Joseph j. Lewis publishes in the West
Chester Republican very interesting letter,
stating the facts in regard to the foreign mission
of Mr.. Wayne Mcveagh. With the double object
of striking at Senator Cameron, as well as his
son-in-law, some exceedingly ill-natured state
ments have been put in circulation on the sub
iect and these Judge Lewis briefly and conclu-
sively meets. As to Mr.. Mcyeaghs health, he
says:
g He has not had days sickness since his
arrival in Turkey and he has fully recovered
from the nervous exhaustion under which he
suffered before he left home, and is as well as
ne has been at any time within the last ten
years."
Then al to the occasion and manner of his
appointment:
''The truth, however, is, that neither Mr..
MacVeagh nor Gen. Cameron asked for the ap-
pointment and when it was offered to Mr.;
MacVeagh he hesltated to accept it. he had
previously determined to visit Europe, manly
with view to the recovery of his health, some,
what impaired by professional labor, and he had
actually engaged his passage before the oifer
came, and without the slightest reference to II.
l was one of his personal friends to whom the
fact OF the offer was communicated, ana py
whom its acceptance Ito which his own views
were at first adverse) was urged Mr. MOTIFS
was personally unknown to the President, ana
to some one with whom he was acquainted. lie
therefore, without the aid Of suggestion from
any one, as have reason to believe, me lie cholce
Of Mr. Macveigh, and voluntarily rendered INN
the mission"
Hon. Edw Joy Morris, whom Mr.. Mac Veagf
surersedes as Minister, has received his success
sor with the utmost possible kindness. He gav'
him much of his society, presented him to th'
chief officers of the State, accompanied him II
his first audience with the Sultan, and invite'
him to occupy his furnished house at Pera, unit
he could permanently establish himself. Il
fact, Mr.. Morris received his appointment, o
Mr. Lincoln, by Senator Cameron's approval an
influence, and Judge Lewis has evidence in hi
possession that Mr.. Morris still retains livel
sense of his obligation on that account.
1t having been further said that Mr.. Mac Veag
drew large sum (say $4,000 for his ''outiit'
that statement is corrected. II is not now q
lowed, the law permitting it having been II
pealed.
1t is very gratifying to have thus authorit'
lively contradicted the reports not only as
MIR. Mac veagh's health, but his course in regal
to this appointment and the letter of Judt
Lewis is timely and conclusive. 1t will gi'
great satisfaction to the many friends OF Of
