Her Agreement.
From the San francisco Morning CuU Oct &C.
Another phase in the affairs Of Laura .. Fair!
Judge Quint, to whom more than all others che
owee her life, or at any rate her freedom, has
felt himself compelled to bring suit against his
him for his services. The suit was fled yester-
day, and Judge Quint giTes the following Btate-
ment Of the causes which have led to it's institu-
ton: The original agreement ln the caeeof Mrs.
Quint Was to receive $4,000 for his
services, viz: 81. 500 cash, which he did receive,
and 81 500 which he WAS to be paid after the trial,
and which he has not received. This agreement
was made with Mrs. Lane, on behalf of Mrs.
degree" Judge Quint did not feel that it would
be right for him to claim the second $4,000, aud
therefore he went on with the case without fur
ther reception OF cash. He drew up the brief
upon which the Supreme Court granted new
trial, and did the heavy work in connection with
the preparations for her second trial The
result Of it all was that she was acquitted ae
al the world knows. Last week
Judge Quint went to see her, and asked
which he incurred in going to Truckeo to look
into the matter Of the juror Beach, in preparing
the brief for the Supreme Court, in printing Of
documents, and in various other necessary work.
10 JuuGe Rulnt6 anaZemeDt, Mrs. Fair rp-
Pudiated the agreement. She told Mr.. Quint-
the man who had saved her lne-that she had
paid him ell that his services had been worth
which IN one sense is more than true. She eaid
that she had not authorized Mrs. Lane to make
any agreement on her behalf, and as to the ex-
ira expenses, she had not asked Mr. Quint to
incur them, and, therefore, did not consider
hereelf responsible for them. Judge Quint has,
therefore, brought suit against her, not only tor
the balance due on the first trial. but also for his
services in the second trial He sues for S8,O75,
made up as follows
Due on the first trial. qsoo

che may have there, the officers Of the bank re-
books to her credit: So the mattel stands Ut

From the Philadelphia Press {Republican.)
With the triumphant reelection Of President
Grant, supplementing, as it does, the election Of
q new House OF Representatives still more large
Iy Republican than the last, the principle OF pro
lection to American industry is again completely
indorHed and it's perpetuity assured. Manufac-
turers need no longer tremble lest their business
should be destroyed by an inundation Of cheap
foreign goods. Workingmen need no longer
staad in apprehension OF being loft without en-
60 hungry in order that British factory
lords may .e1tend their markets and 8
few foreign traders expand their business.
Capitalists, ready to invest millions in develop
ing not only new mines in Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Indiana, and Ohio, but the even richer
mineral resources Of many Of. the Southwestern
States and Territories, and in establishing man
ufactories OF various kinds all over the Gun
Try, need hesitate nor hoard their money any
longer through fear OF financial panic, and Of q
return to the ruinous policy OF free trade.
Grant, the practical protectionist, has triumphed
over Greeley, the theoretical protectionist, who
suffered himself to be made the fgure-head and
standard"besrer OF free-trade party, the suc-
cess Of which would be staggering blow
to native industries by menacing our we'll
approved protective tariff, and q probable parai-
ysis Of the monetary interests Of the country by
the apprehension 1t would have raised that an
immediate resumption Of specie payments, or
some other equally lmpracticable scheme, might

sell the steadfast friend not only Of our bene-
ncent lnduBtr1al system, but of all the countrv's
maternal 1nteFests; and Of returning to the edi-
torial chair Of the New York Tribune the moBt
pungent pEotectlonist writer in America, Surely

The cause OF this deplorable dlscomhture hes
farther back than the nomination OF Mr. Gree

circumstances which existed last May and June,
to take up Mr. Greeley; but the real l. source Of
weakness WAS in the circumstances themselves
which rendered such 3 nomination possible.

an instant candidate whose whole past history
represented everything which was hostile to
Democratic ideas Of tie philosophy, functions,
and limitations Of government. The true expla-
nation Of this defeat is not to be found in the
nomination Of Mr. Greeley, but in that
previous letting down of party hope and
spirit which reconciled our National Conven-
ton to an act Of sheer desperation. The wings
of the Democratic party were clipped by the u.s.
