IWHEN John 81. LangstoD, the "colored
orator." spplied for the post of Solicitor
General, about to become vacant by the
resignation Of Gen. Bristow, the Pittsburgh
Post suggested that lie would not get it,
because, Notwithstanding bis maroon color,
his hair has the Ethiopian twist, and
wouldn't suit the ladies Of the Cabinet
Ministers. They must always be consulted
in these matters. How they would turn up
their pretty noses at Mrs. Dinsh at state
dinner, and maintain a respectful distance
at an evening reception. Oh! it would
never DO, aud Mr.. GraGt will soon be given
TO understand That society forbids such mis-
csgenation.

A VERY important case has recently been
practically adjudicated by the Supreme
Court Of Maine. a firm 10 Gardiner sued
the Western Uuion Telegraph Company
for 5000 damages resulting from an error
in the transmission Of o message. The
firm had sent an order TO Chicago for TO-
600 bushels Of corn. The message as de-
livered reduced tie order to 1900 bushels.
BEFORE the mistake was corTec.ed corn had
advanced ten cents bushel, and the first
Gained damages 10 the amount Of the ill.,
creased cost Of The grain. At the close OF
the testimony the Judge intimatsd that he
should instruct the jury that the telegraph
company was lia,le for damages, notwith-

The Boston IRE has st quite number
OF cities TO considering their own exposure
to similar dis, ster, and 10 ilquiriDg into
their precautions against a similar emer,
gency. Msyor Medil, in view of the pos
sibility Of another conhagration in Chicago,
and the insecure condition Of insurance,
has recommended the Common Council of
that city to purchase fourteen large Bah
cock engines, and four of the portable en-
gines for each police station, to order the
construction Of tower with an alarm bell;
to add 70 or 100 policemen 10 the present
force, and TO sink a Wen at the end of each
street running TO the river.

The late election has shown with what
wonderful facility some people place inter
est above principle. For instance, the Al
lanta correspondent ofthe Savannah Ne1cs
writes:
"There is one fact which may mention,
upon the authority of a leading Democrat
from one of the Cherokee counties, viz,
that many persons along this line of SHIT
mans march, between the Tennessee and
Chattahooche rivers, have voted for Grant,
Or staid away from the polls, in the hopes
that, if reelected, he will favor the pay
ment of their claims for property taken or
destroyed by the Federal troops! Some
Democrats in those counties through which
The great projected Canal will pass, were
also influenced by the expectation that
Grant can be relied upon to give his influ-
ance in behalf of that important enterprise. ;"

TIE Supreme Court Of New Jersey has
ssued a decree affirming the CONSTITUTIONAL
ty Of the local option" act passed by the
Legislature Of that State. The principle
involved is, "whether il is unlawful to ex-
empt a single township, ward, county, or
other limited locality, from the operation Of
ageneral law Of a State, because the voters
Of that locality desire to be exempted" or
ia other words, whether the voters of To-
eality can st an election nullify as to that
locality the operation of q general law of
State. The Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets has since decided against the con
stitutionality of such law passed by the
Legislature of that State.

WHEN Secretary Boutwell, declared in
his speech in New York just ON the eve Of
the electioD, that the credit of the United
States stood higher than the credit of any
other nation on Garth, he drew upon his
Imagination for his facts. British consols,
bearing three per cent interest, are bat a
small fraction lower than our six per cent
bonds. The four and a-hslf consolidated
German loan stands at 1881. American
six per cent bonds must sell for los in gold
or 116 in greenbacks TO equal The value of
these European securities.

A SHORT time ago negro man in Al
barry, New York, applied for a writ Of
mandamus TO compel the Board of Public
instruction to admit bis children into a
particular school, but the court refused to
grant The writ on the ground that so long
as colored children are admitted to the Will
beTforce school, with as good teachers and
as many facilities of instruction as are af-
forded at any other public school in the
city, there j. no cause of complaint, or at
least none such as would justify the grant
lag OF a mandamus.

''the recent Republican success in New

substantial reforms. The departments will
