NEGOTIABLE PAPER.-Atter negotia-
BILE paper has had a valid inception the
whole law holds the maker responsible to
bona ide holder for value. Recently
some controversy has arisen both in Eng
land and the United States as to what
the rights of the signer of negotiable pa
per are when his signature is obtained by
fraud or when he signs an instrument in
the belief that it is simple business con-
tract which proves to be a promissory
note. The leading case in England is
Foster v. McKenaore (3S l.. j. Rep. N.
S. 3l0) decided in the court of common
pleas in 1869. (See Albany Law Jour-
nal 3.) This case holds that fraudu-
lent inception without negligence is no
inception and the maker of it becomes
liable. Also in the case of Douglass v.
Mating a Am. Rep. 100 Iowa 1881 the
Supreme Court of Iowa decided that a
person who is induced to sign promis-
sorry note through the false and fraudu-
lent representation of another, believing
it to be contract in relation to services
is nevertheless liable thereon to a bona
fide holder who takes it before maturity.
Although the maker of the note in this
suit was manifestly careless flor he did
not read the paper through which was
presented to him by stranger for his
signature,) yet the court did not appar.
emily regard the question of negligence
as an important element in the decision.

The Missing Lily.

In one part Of Solomon's songs, the
daughters Of Jerusalem are represented
as visiting the fairest among women with
a most earnest inquiry, "Whither is thy
Beloved gone, o thou farest among wo.
menu Whittier Is thy Beloved turned
aside, that we may seek him with thee"
She answers, "My Beloved is gone down
into his garden, to the beds of spices, to
feed in the garden and to gather lilies. 8"
And when God undertakes to make q
beautiful lily he usually succeeds. How
exquisite, how lovely is that part of the
song The daughters of Jerusalem seek
ing their Beloved, and find him walking
in his garden among the beds Of spices,
and seeking for himself lily to carry
home to Paradise. A kind but solemn
Providence has made these words new
and lovely-by the death of Mary Il.
Stewart, wife of L. b. Stewart and
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Manley s.
Wilds in the Goth year Of her age.
In her youth Mrs. Stewart had enjoyed
the advantages of some Of the best
schools in the country. She will long be
remembered by Mrs. Leavitt, the late
principal of the Ladies Seminary in Mid
dlebury, as one of her most lovely schol.

and you are only keepers and work by

among the flowers, and pluck the one

swered, Amen, with flowing tears. They
stood around the sick and dying one. aud

to Paradise, to bloom in never fading

was beyond description, under the inAu-

loss ofappetite, of flesh, and of strength,
that many thought had got the diabe-

of it, and the consequence was. thirst
abated, my appetite increased, and l so
far recovered my strength as to perform
some labor.
1t is now almost three years since

For the Register.
Mr., EDITOR We raised the question
last week, concerning temperance men in
the country, looking after the coming
election of county officers, or rather after
the convention for their nomination, soon
to be held. And especially did we call
attention to the office of States Attorney.
DO temperance men mean to do anything
about 1t? Or will they sleep on and let
the enemy continue to sow tares, and then
do up their temperance action by grumb-
ling over the result Is there no dan.
ger of having men again in office, who
have been tried and found wanting Will
1t be said, that no lawyers can be found
more faithful to the temperance cause,
than those we have had? Is this so /? 1t
is said that the probabilities are, that an
old incumbent Of the office, who was tried
and found wanting, is again aspiring af-
ter 1t, and will, unless prompt measures
are taken, again fill it. Must this be so /?
Are temperance men so few that they
cant prevent it? Are they so weak as
not to attempt its prevention Are they
so puslllaninous as to sit quietly by and
see 1t done Or, if it is affected, is it to
be accomplished with no effort put forth
to prevent it? Are we willing that when
the convention occurs, to see it ruled by
rum? Are we willing to see rum men
nominated for office or, if not rum men
proiessedly, men, who are, to say
the least, of too doubtful gender to be
trusted? Besides, why should any one
man ill, for the most part, so important
and office as that of States Attorney ?
We learn that Gen. Grandey is again on
the track for that office. Now, certainly
the Gen., has had fair share of county
honors, and has nothing to complain of
on that account. But so far as the
special interest, in behalf of which we
write, is concerned he has been tried, and
certainly has not met the wishes, il he
has the expectations, Of the friends of
temperance. Why should he then be
tried again Is there any reason to ex-
pect anything better from him, than what
we have had ? AS for Mr. Lucia, who
has been mentioned, while he has never
been tested in this matter, which by the
way is one reason for doing so--he is
spoken Of by those who know him best,
as the man for the place in the present
emergency.
What say, citizens Of Addison County,
temperance citizens especially, shall we
not try Mr.. Lucia SIGMA.

The Alabama CLAIMS.

WASHINGTON, May 26.
1t is known, from official and private
advices, that Great Britain was deter.
mined to withdraw from the Geneva ar.
bitration should the United States per.
sist in the presentation of claims for in.
direct damages and it is further known
that the United States was for some time.
under these circumstances. disposed to
throw the responsibility of the threaten.
ed failure of the treaty upon Great Brit.
ain, our government insisting that it had
a right to present these claims, with 9th.
ers, before the tribunal, in order that
,he principle involved might be settled,
though not expecting to receive n mon.
eyed consideration. Great Britain, with
its view Of the case, was disposed to throw
the responsibility of the failure of ar.
bitration upon the United States.
The President, as thus advised, has al.
ready, by the Secretary of State, taken
measures, through the Atlantic cable to
procure the assent of the British govern.
ment to the article. as amended by the
Senate, with view Of putting in treaty
form a declaration against indirect dam.
ages, which the United States have now
abandoned, aud which Great Britain as.
serts she never claimed for herself as
against other powers.
1t is believed that Great Britain will
assent to the modification of the article
as she now, with the United States, is
anxious for the tribunal of arbitration to
proceed without further hindrance. Ac-
cor ding to report, the debate on the sub.
ject before the Senate was earnest through.
out the majority of those who participa
ted in it being influenced by desire to
remove distractions in way which
would preserve the national dignity. while
few others were inhexibe in their oppo.
sition to assent to waving the claims.
The article as endorsed is changed in
phraseology from the original, though
preserving the principles sought to be
established by the government with re,
gard to consequential damages. The
precise language Of the article will moi
be officially made known until it ha.
been ratified.
The subject will next come before tn,
Senate on the ratification of the article
1t is stated that one of the principa
amendments is change of the languag,
covering an agreement with reference t,
indirect claims for the future, so as t.
include all indirect and incidental claims
In the rule as proposed by Great Britain
the words "such claims" we're used. A
strict Interpretation would have confined
the agreement Of the parties to such in
direct claims only as are the subject o
the present controversy, therefore, it i
provided that The rule shall cover, il
broad terms. that no direct or indirec
claims shall be presented by one natiol
against the other FOR the failure to OBJ
serve neutrality.
The vote was strictly non-partisan
The democrats were divided about equal,
