MR.. MCFARLAND AND HIS MoRTGAGEs.-1I
Pride, in a letter from Dover to Ectry Eceaulg,
insists notwithstanding Mr.. McFarlands denial,
that tue latter does intend to forecloae certain
mortgages in Kent county, unless the rate OF in
terest is increased. MIR. Pride, (who rather alb
surdly complains of the comments of the COM
MERCIAL in the natter says
" Notwithstanding all this, however. the item
under consideration is, as have before stated,
correct to all ntents and purposes, and Mr. Nc
Farand will, unless he goes back on what he has
reduced to writing, fOreclose the mortgages he
holds against Kent county property, provided he
is allowed to invest in Pennsylvania the amount
these mortgages represent at higher rate of
interest than the laws of Delaware legalize. Mr..
Mcfarland, when he stated that there is not one
word Of truth in his Imy statement, knew that
lie was uttering falsehood III not, he is inca
pable OF understanding the language he used in
the letter received here by his agent"
Which is what and who is which, we con-
fess we don't know. Let us have light, if not
peace. We understand the West Chester Record
to say, by the way, that the Meconkey estate
has no mortgages in Kent county.

\ RMAGKAELE CLAlA.-0ne Of the most
remarkable claims ever presented TO Con-
greSs was recently passed by the Senate. and
is now before the House. 1t is for S9OS. O6.
being the value of negro boy Is or 10
years of age, who was protected and cared
for by General Utley while colonel of the
22d regiment Wisconsin volunteers. The
papers in the case show that while General
| tley was at Lexington, Ky. with his re-
giment, q small, half-starved negro boy,
with nothing on but ragged pantaloons and
a shirt, came TO his quarters in severe
snow storm. The boy was in perishing
condition, and represented that he had been
in the woods for long time, subsisting on
black walnuts, and sleeping in hogs nests,
until the snow storm drove him in. This
was in the fall of 1862. General Utley or
dered the boy to be taken care of, and
thought no more about it, until one VIM
Robertson called on him and claimed the
boy as his property and sought to take him
away. General Utley called the claimants
attention to the additional article of war of
March 10, 1862, and said he must be gov
erned by that. If the boy would GO back
without force being resorted to, the officer
would have no objections but the boy
prayed for protection, saying that he had
been hired out to a cruel master as being 10
years Of age, and the hirer had beaten him
and otherwise cruelty treated him, and he
sought protection of his owner, Robertson,
in vaiI, until finally he ran away and came
to the camp of General Utley as already
stated. The general refused to give up the
boy, and Robertson left without him A
few days subsequently a suit was brought
against the officer for the value of the boy.
Soon afterward General Utley was taken
prisoner by the confederates, at Spring Hill,
Tennessee, and heard no more about the
boy until 1865, when suit was brought in
the Circuit Court of Wisconsin, and judg
ment rendered the year before for S90s.O6,
and costs, amounting to 81 $40. Ex-Attor-
neyGeneral Speed defended the suit, but
the officer was forced to pay the money.
The Senate bill is for the purpose of reim-
bursting General Utley. The suit could not
be appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States, because the limit in that
court is $4,000.

CONSOLIDATION of Northern New York Railroads.
The stockholders of the Whitehall and
Platishcrsh railroad had meeting recent
y, at which the plan of consolidation was
discussed
Gov. John B. Page explained the plans
proposed for the consummation of the much
talked of transfers to the New York and
Canada railroad company Of the Whitehall
and Plattsburgh railroad and the steamer
Cakes AmeS. lie read proposed instru-
ment of lease, and accompanied his reading
with explanatory remarks. The lease Is for
nine hundred and ninety-nine years, the
consideration being the round sum of one
million Of dollars for the entire period.
The New York and Canada railroad COM
pany is to complete the line through from
Plattsburgh to Whitehall within five years,
or forfeit the lease. The money to be
applied to payment of bonds and all lust
ana legal claims. Suitable cOnfirmatoIy
conyeyanceS from the Rutland and Bur
hnston and tie Vermont cent al companies
were also submitted 1t is understood that
the sum of one million dollars is not suffi-
Gent 70 pay everything in full. Asregards
the Whitehall and Plattsbureh railroad.
TINS amount Is expected to cover all lust
Heating Indebtedness in full, but will in
tolFe sacrifice of ten per cent. on the
bonds, ana oil the entire amount of stock.
The Vermont Central company assents also
to making an abatement upon its entire in

some $4,000 To $40, 900, in order to bring
the amount Of claims TO be DISCHARGED

completion of a through road. 1t is under

How SESAToRsHIPs ARE LosT.-The dodge
by which the Christian philanthrOpist was
entrapped and slaughtered at Topeka, the
other day. is very far from being a novelty
in our politics. Indeed, it was practised
only last fall to kill off Mr.. Corbett Of Ore
gon, though the story, so far rs we know,
has never before got into print. Mr.. Cor
bett thought he had, probably did have,
pretty sure thing on his reelection to the
Senate. The cards had been skilfully put
IN. and there seemed to be nothing more to
do hut to goin and win. But good classical
authority has assured US that human affairs
are uncertain. \ guileful Oregon law
maker in the interest of Mr.. Ben Holiday
caused it to be intimated TO 4 next friend
and active worker Of Mr.. Corbett's that he
was omen to conviction-in fact, was pre-
nared TO be seen. An interview was ar
ranged. The friend and the treacherous
legislator met a witness was concealed IN
the adjoining room-the old detective trick
with his ear glued TO an eligible, possibly
artificial. hole in the wall The friend was
led on to make profier of money in distinct
terms. when the legislator turned ON HIM,
explained the situation, and gave him has
choice between taking his man out Of the
way and having the whole affair detailed to
the legislature. the Senate and the country
Mr.. Corbett. from all that appears was as
innocent of any completely IN, OF even
knowledge of, the intended bribery a the
babe unborn but appearances were against
him. he had lived long enough to find out
that men are apt to put the worst construe-
ton on things, and he didn't want TO sacri-
fic his friend. The upshot of the business
was that he got ont of the way, and Mr..
- q, -.
attorney elected TO the Senate of the Uni
ted States. Which satisfaction was not I'M
mixed. however. for though the attorney
was put forward in his interest, he intended,
in his seeget heart, after the field had been
cleared. to come in and seize the place him
self. But. like Miles Standish, sent to
court a girl for his friend, the attorney con-
cluded to keep the prize for himself, and
though Ben. the rough, may have upbraid-
ed in private, he had to smile and congratu-
late in puhlic.-SprinQfeid Rppbh-an.

Ink AGE OF IRoN.-The StLouls GloJe
says; In the old world, and in the new, the
demand for iron is in its infancy, and will
multiply rapidly in the next decade. The
multiplication will 90 on at an astounding
rate with every step taken in cheapening the
production of iron. In the United States are
the iron and the coal for the manufactures
of the growing and expanding civilization of
the world. Invention and machinery, wise
craftsmanship and business enterprise,
should speedily supplant our importation of
iron from Great Britain with an expectation
Of that article, supplying it in abundance
also for our own needs. The law of indus
trial progress is the cheapening and multiple
eating and increased muneration of pro-
duction; the cheapening supply itself ever
widening and deepening the demand-the
increasing demand reacting as 4 stimulus
to invention, discovery, enterprise and econ
omy in cheapening while ausmenting the
supply. The United States ought to miro
and manufacture all the iron thSt ear be
used within its limits
