A CURIOUS LAWSUIT observation-disclosures
lor Bates of this State, delivered very inter
estng decision Of the Court OF Chancery, at
Dover, last Thursday. Mr.. j. ii. Primrose, OF
SMYRNA, commenced the erection, over two
years ago, of shed in the rear of his store
house. The adjoining property is occupied by
DR.. J. L. ClawsOn, and the shed when comp let
ed would have closed up the window oil the
Doctors sittlng-room. lie therefore sued out
preliminary writ of injunction, restraining MIR.
Primrose from building the shed, and after the
usual course Of such eases, the matter has now
been finally adjudicated by the Chancellor, the
Injunction being made perpetual and MIR. PrIn-
rose being ordered not to build the shed.
The Chancellor has he'd the case under all
yisement, since it was argued year ago, ana
has given the question careful consideration,
his opinion being exhaustive. lie considered
that the right to light and air, enjoyed without
interruption for over twenty years, rested on
the same ground as all other 'incorporeal rights
under the Common Law of England, upon
which he based his decision. lie stated that
the Constitution Of this State, adopted at the
Revolution, 1916, accepted the Common law
of England for its gove,nance; that for this par
ticNlar case which was the first ever brought
before tie State Courts, IN law had ever been
provided, and therefore the Common Law OF
England must gui&r linn III his decision; Una
that law provided that where light and air hat
been admitted to u dwelling from any quarter
unintelnlAedly, idr period OF twenty year,
and over. i. could not be shut oil, AMI that uli
der this ruling, the Doctor was entitled to the
light and air which had so long been aiiorde'
him uninterruptedly, by his window, and Ii
should therefore make the injunction perpet'l
al.
The Consequences involved in the decision
may seem scarcely equitable, in some cases
where man will be forbidden to erect build
ing on his own property, in such position as b
may desire, on account of the inconvenience
may cause to a neighbor. who has chosen to S
locate his dwelling as to get light by way OF n
is lot. In some the States the English la
of "ancient lights" has been rejected by Il
courts, on grounds Of public policy, as being Il
convenient in the rapid growth OF our tow
and cities. The Cancellor, without making al
question on this point, considered that The pr
per remedy was with the Legislature that u
province the court is not 10 alter the law b
10 administer it as it Is, and especially so whe
rights Of property are concerned.

ASnrrlug Atalstct.

The West V Virginia Journal, IN an ar
ticle referred to elsewhere, makes some
wholesome confessions concerning inc
Republican part of the political cam
psieu last fall. In the same article the
editor says:
"If the people only knew it, the pub
lie printer, fat as he has grown in the
treasury crib, is a small pig, beside
some others, and some OF the indepen-
dents don't care far thing, go they can
get to blind the public and keep their
nubbin. They feel very good.
While the editor is in the confession
al we wish he would be little more
explicit concerning the hogs to whom
he refers in the paragraph above. The
public is interested, in the matter and
we are sincere in our wish that the
Journal will produce the charges and
specifications that are hinted at. We
know the editor OF the Journal to be q
conscientious man whose intentions are
honest and pure. We are willing to
ioin with him in an effort 10 discover
and punish fraud, and as it is probable
that his residence at the capital gives
him better opportunities for detecting
wrongs in the administration of affairs
than we can have here, We rely upon
him to furnish US further information.

General Bntler's He.cnrc


BosToN, August 2.-General Butler
will publish in a few days an elaborate,
legal and historical defence OF his con-
gressional back pay in reply to letter
OF a distinguished citizen OF Essex
county. Every point is fortified by nu
merous incidents an! documents inter-
spersed with flashes OF wit and sarcasm.
1t ope us with q defence OF the increased
pav o! the President whose salary was
raised from So, 900 to $4,000. Under
the old law each member received
$1,000 salary and Sc for each twenty
miles of distance from his residence to
the seat OF Government, and at the end
of each session numbers OF members
drew mileage whether they travelled
that distance or not. Now each mem
Der receives 81, 500, and has actual trav-
cling expenses to and from each session,
90 that in the aggregate the pay OF
members is but little above what 1t
was before and previous to the increase.
The letter will be severe On Minister
Washburn and others in the employ OF
the Government who have had their
pay returned. It's also severe on the
New England and other members who
have, in years past, voted a back pay
and received it.

The Peach CrOp.

The Wilmington, Del, Commercial says
there is no little indignation among
peach growers at the intimations OF
various news papers that they have un-
derestimated the peach crop in order to
effect its price. There is 70 doubt that
the prospect for fruit has steadily run
downward for the last two months, and
we now yield TO the judgment that the
total product will be much lees than
last year. At the close of the winter
the prospect was excellent; the damage
eince that time has been very great.
Growers continue to report to us the ex'
tent OF their failure. a gentleman,
whose orchard is in Kent county, Md,
had on his trees few weeks ago, an
estimated crop OF 5000 baskets. He
does not expect more than 900 bsa-
kets. Last year he had $500. A gem
tleman of this city, who has orchards
in Kent county, this State, expected,
until recently, 10000 baskets. He now
estimates only 5000. The other 5000
have fallen off. We cite these exam.
pies as reducing ell previous
estimates, except that made
at the recent Fruit Growers,
meeting. The orchards mentioned
were among those which were under
stood to be a failure several monthe
ago. They are in the section upon
which we had depended for a heavy
yield Of fruit, until the falling Off
began. This dropping OF the iruit is
explained BY last winters severe cold.
In the northern end o. the peach
district, it killed last years growth OF
wood (of which this years peaches
mainly grow) and almost entirely des-
troyed the crops, while further south it
90 impaired the vitality Of the tree that
now the fruit falls. The drouth, too,
has had a very injurious influence,
weakening the tree and drying up the
peaches. We are assured that there
have been numerous agents from New
York and Boston commission houses
through the peach districts who show
ed extreme esgerness to secuEe snlp-
ments, recognizing the certainty that
the crop must be light.

dent has been interviewing the village

land possessions OF that name. He
gives his Impressions: AT place Of

twenty houses aud only one family.
The head OF this family used one OF
these houses for the eating department
Of a hotel, srother one for the sleeping
apartments, another for Q billiard room,
another 'or q sheep pen. another for Q
grocery, another for q barn, another for
a saloon, another for postoffice.
another Tor q chicken -house, and sn-
other for bis own residence; and - his
family were sll females, and he had 70
run the whole town all by himself. Il

institution while he transacted busi-
ness at the smother. When | infoymed

the eCropn for 1878.

The Philadelphia Age having receiv-
ed information from all sectio OF the
country says that the prospects Tor
wheat and other grains were never bet
ter in Wisconsin than at the present
time. In Minnesota like results are
reported, and also in Iowa. In all the
Northwest there will be an average
Weld of wheat. In this State that point
has been advanced upon. The same
NAV be said of New York and Ohio.
The corn crop will be lees than the
average to the acre planted in all the
States except Arkansas, Florida, Min
nesota and West Virginia; Minnesota
and West Virginia being the only
States where the crop will be in
creased. The late rains may augment
the Weld this season. But not in a
heavy degree. The potato crop ls es-
,imated to be above the average. hav-
ng increased in about two-thirds ofthe
States. The drought was disastrous in
come States, but with good weather
henceforth the farmers hope to gain
much apparently lost ground. There
turn OF lruit will be only partial in its
success. Ofapples and pears the yield
will be small in this section. So limit
ed as 10 amount to nothing in the in
come ofthe farmer. In Ohio and come
portions Of New York, however, there
will be fair crop of these
fruits. The peach crop will be
abundaply remunerative, notwith-
standing the croakipg OF growers
OF this article OF produce. The grape
crop was nore disastrously affected in
California than anywhere else, and the
Weld there will not probably be more
than sixty-ore per cent. The Western
States east Of the Rocky Mountains re-
port iavorably. Nebraska making q
large increase. On the whole, the crops
OF the country are such as to reward, IN
o proper manner, the labors of all le-
giuma,ely engaged in raising and get
ting them to market. II spectators
and midIlemen have discounted some
articles and are bitten, that is their
misfortune, at which neither producer
nor consumers will grieye.

Grant al . GrIbber.

u
We again call the attention OF the
editor of the Ohio State Jour1I! TO the
fact that, in order to carry the amend
ment TO the appropriation bill OF the
last Congress. which is so odious, and
which is popularity known as "the
grab" and 1.-The steal" it was necessary
10 add to the increase Of salaries oil
Congressmep, Cabinet officers, Supreme
Judges and President, the retrospective
or "back pay" clause. This was indis.
penssb,e in order to purchase votes for
the increase. Now, the increase was
we'll known to be an Administration
measure. There is good reason to be-
lieve that Grant was sharply dissp-
pointed because the effort to increase
h;s salary for the fret term was fall
ure. In his peculiar view OF the Presi>
dence be always measured the office
by the money it would fetch
him. Official circles-the highest
official circles in Washing
ton-were full of talk for some
years before the increase, in which the
shamefulness OF starving public SER
wants was the favorite theme. The
Congressional mutual admiration 30
cieties enfolded each other in raptures
on this theme. In the atmosphere In
which the President has had his living
since he was the conquering hero and
all that sort OF thing, the back>pay and
increase>of.sala bill, was the most
glorious measure OF his wonderful Ad-
ministration. Grant never dresmpt OF
a popular uprising about that. 1t never
occurred to him but what the people
would be delighted to double every
body's salary. He never thought OF
vetoing the amendment. II his salary
had been made one hundred thousand
per annum, he would have looked upon
it in the light of a neat testimonial.
He has been taught that he is
the Savior of the Country. that he did
it himself and therefore, he would not
be surprised if Congress should vote
him a million and his brother'in.law
a gold or quicksilver mine each. ls
be not greater than Wellington, upon
whom enormous riches were shower
ed? Is not America, which he saved,
greater than England, whose prestige
Wellington advanced-and in what
form can gratitude be bestowed 80 &C.
as in gold or good currency :?
II there is any pretense now that the
great grab and steal was not an ADD
measure-that it was not
the measure of the Grant Administra.
ton, the most characteristic and fa.
vored product oil his period-let it be
dismissed, Tor it is false, and can not
deceive. The "back-pay grab" and
the salary increase, including the
doubling up Of the Presidents compen-
sation, constitute one transaction, and
the Presidents signature was needed to
com plete it. The Republican Ohio
platform praises the President and de-
nounces the "back -paysters asd the
yrabbers, when the Presidents grab
