ALEXANDRIA. VA.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1872.

Last week, in Baltimore, the U. 5 Circuit
Court was engaged in hearing argument IN the
case of the u. S. against Chapman, Bayne, and
Riddle, trustees of L. 2. Bayne & Co., brokers'
who failed in Baltimore in May, 1866, and
made dead of trust at that time for the bene-
fit of creditors. The Baltimore Sun says
This suit was instituted iu January, 1868, by
the u. s., claiming to be a creditor OF L. L.
Bsyne g. Co., for the amount of $l5O,OO0 aud
asserting its statutory priority in the dlstrbu-
ton of the funds in the hands of the trustees.
The claim grows out of some transactions be-
tween Bayne & Co. and the former Merchants
National Bauk of Washington city, involving a
loan by the bank to Bayne & Go. of funds said
to belong to the Government, under crcum-
stances emitting the Government to treat
Bayue e. Co. as its debtor. The claim OF the
U. S. to be considered creditor, and its prior
ity in this particular case, are resisted IN be-
half of the trustees and the preferred creditors.
The Court has the case now under conSdcra-
ton.

The Washington correspondent of the Batl-
more Sun says that letters received from
Indiana give encouraging accounts of the pro-
gress of the Greeley and Brown movement in
that State, and the utmost confidence is ex-
pressed in its triumph at the October election

is running for Governor. Even Congressman
Kerr, who has been hostile to the Cincinnati

A collapse in wheat corner, has taken
place in Chicago. A collapse in oats occur
red in the same place last week. One man not
satisfied with profit Of 800 900, went on, and
lost half million! The Chicago Tribune
says: 'The collapse of the corner leaves uswith
about 200, 600 bushels ofwheat in store in this
city on, the edge of harvest. The greater por,
ton of it will undoubtedly be left over to come
in competition with the new wheat of the pres

The indications are that heavy expenses will
have to be incurred this summer by those who
may visit the Springs and Watering Places in
the Northern States, or stop 1.-THE hotels in the
cities and towns. High charges, it is said, will
likely be the rule Reasonable rates the excep-
tons Very well. So be it. Let those who
are able to leave home for recreation spend
their money in their own States in the South,
where they will be happier, more comfortable,
and better cared for than they would be away
off Wonderland, what is important, without
extortionate demands upon their purses.

The postage on transient matter is now rated
at one cent for two ounces or less instead Of two
cents for four ounces or less. This reduces the
rate for fractions of the established weight to
one cent instead Of two. and re-establishes the
penny postage system for newspapers and such
matter weighing two ounces or less.

None Of HIS Eunernl.

A Western paper tells a story of deaf
gentleman's mistake. 4 It seems that in fol-
lowing the good Deacon Jones to the grave
last summer, Rev. Mr.. Sampler, the new
clergyman of East Town, found himself In
the same carriage with an elderly man he had
never before met. They rode in grave silence
for few moments, when the clergyman en-
deavored to improve the occasion by a seri-
Gus conversation "This is solemn duty in
'sHey? What do you say, sir 2" the old man
returned. 'sCant you speak louder2 I'm
hard of hearin'!" II was remarking,' shouted
the clergyman, ''that this is solemn road
we are travelling to-day" Sandy road. You
don't call this ere sandy, do ye Guess you
ain't been down to the south district yet
That's a stretch of road on the old pike that
beets all / ever see for hard travelin'. Only
a week before the Deacon was TUX sick, I
met him drivin' his OK team along there, and
the sand was up to the hubs of the wheels.
The Deacon used to get dreadfully riled bout
that piece of road; and East Town does go
ahead of all creation for sand The young
clergyman looked blank at the unexpected
turn given to his remark, but quickly recov-
ering himself, and raising his voice to the
highest pitch, he resumed the conversation.
s'our friend here is done with all the discom-
forts Of earth,"' he said solemnly. A small
spot of ground will soon cover his senseless
clay did you say clay, sir? p cried the
old man, eagerly. ..'faint neigh SO good to

of it on the river bank, says You'd make

ford county. But we are slow folks in East
Town, sir" II was, perhaps, fortunate, for
the clergyman tha. the smell of new made
hay from aneighboring field silggesteda fresh
train of thought. Look said he, with a
graceful waive of the hand; lsE'what an embleni
| Of the brevity of human life! AS the grass

row heis cut down" II don't calculate tc

t.You mustn't cut 'ally; and then, again, yor
mustn't cut too late ~ "My friend !" shrieked
| the clergyman, In a last desperate effort te
make himself understood. This is no place

A vigorous G Generation.

1t is reported, on good authority, that Mr..
Seward is busily engaged writing his autobi
ography, and an account of his recent trip
around the world. Mr.. Bryant is preparing
for trip to Mexico, having finished his great
labor of translating Homer. Mr.. Gideon
Welles is proving, by frequent and trenchant
articles for the magazines, that age has
neither withered his intellect nor dimmed the
brightness of his memory of ''wrongs" en-
dured. Mr.. j. s. Black, while continuing
his legal practice, is still finding time to deal
hard blows at his political adversaries in
other magazine essays Caleb Cushing's hand
is discernable in some of the. most powerful of
our late State papers, and he is on the eve of
departing for Geneva, as counsel in the Ala
bama claims arbitration. Mr.. Charles Math-
ews-to pass to another sphere-has just de-
lighted us with acting which, for grace, ease,
and facility of expression, is hardly to be
equalled by the younger generation of actors,
at whose birth, it might be said, this veteran
comedian attended. Mr.. A. B. ,Durand, the
oldest of our artists, has just completed a
picture which in size is one of his largest,
and in strength of execution one of his most
important Mr.. Havemeyer has proved his
capacity for effective work for the public as
Chairman of the Committee of Seventy, and
has shown us that energy and ability to render
great service for the public do not always de-
part with the coming of many years. nggJ q,
The venerable Judge Lowell, of Boston,
furnishes the bar with decisions which for
clear and compact statement, and compre-
hensive grasp of the subjects with which they
deal, are models of American judicial opin-
ions. Mr.. Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose
years count up SO many as to make those of
US who, knew of him in his ''Dial' days,
sadly turn to count our own gray hairs, has
never produced more finished work than that
he has lately given us--work rich with the
ripeness OF thought and experience, and pol
ished with diamond like brillianey. Bishop
Potter avoids no episcopal duties, and even
resented it as almost a reflection on his char
acter when the division of the diocese of New
York, now accomplished, was first proposed.
Mr. Vanderbilt directs his half dozen great
railroads, and pushes his ya:t financial enter
prises with clearness and soundness of judg-
ment in every way wonderful-and with a
blow that tells no story of care, plays his lit
tie game of whist in the evening as if he were
nothing but an easy, well-to-dO old gentleman
outside the turmoil of business or adventure.
Capt. John Ericsson, who presided at the
birth of the locomotive, being q rival Of
Stevenson as far back as 1891, and whose pu-
pills are now old men, and distinguished en-
gineers, is still working with o vigor and
clearness Of intellect really unexampled even
in his own marvellous career. He is now en-
gagged upon the most abstruse study of his
life-solar physics-and has already accom-
plished enough therein to make reputation,
even if he had done nothing else.-NeD York

How Near Ben Wade Came Co Reing m
ChiCRgOAms zE

Ben Wade is an older man than most people
supposes, he having been born at Feeding
Hills, parish of West Springfield, Mass,
October 9th, 1900. In 1918, when IS years
of age, he chopped cord wood at Ashtabnla,
Ohio. for fifty cents per cord. He had walked
on foot from New York to this, and was on
his way to Detroit and Chicago, where he
proposed to settle. Winter overlook him at
Ashtabula, and to earn his board he built a
cabin, and, as before stated, chopped wood.
II was his intention to cross the lake by boat
early in the spring to Detroit, and then finish
the journey to Chicago on foot. His brother,
who lived at Ashtabula, persuaded Wade to
give up going further West, and In 1891 -'22
he taught school in winter, and grubbing du-
ring summer months. Being now In his
twenty-third year, he longed to revisit his
home, and hired himself to drover, whom
he assisted in taking herd of cattle to New
York. Wade conducted the lead OK, and his
earthly property was contained in small
carpet-sack3 tied behind the ox's horns. In
1925 he worked as day laborer on. the Erie
canal, where Mr.. Seward saw him using the
wheelbarRow and shovel Mr. Seward after.
