OF these districts the Republicans will

Judge Reed gave the grand jury Of
Charleston county some good advice in
regard to the useless expenditure incur
red by coroners in holding inqucs,s in
cases where there was DO call for their
services. The case especially referred to
was that of respectable old lady on Ed.
isto island who had been buried by her
family after due attention, and the cor
oner or acting coroner proposed to take
up the body and held an inquest, and
this proceeding was resisted by the fam
lily Of the deceased. The body, was not
interfered with, but there was an inquest
held, Jupgc Reed SAID: THE officer
who held the inquest, Mr.. King, whecL-
er as trial justice or acting coroner, do
not know which, have seen since made C
the statements to you a few days ago,
and he tells ME TIA the representation
with regard to the threat 10 txhume the
body Is not correct; he denies that an in
quest was held over the grave; but he
amits, however, that an inquest was held
some three mics from the grave, some
days after the burial. This old lady, as
l nave told you, died after careful nurs-
ing by her family and attention from
practicing physician, aid was buried
in the family buring ground" And then
The Judge adds that lie knows of no rea
son for such inquests except to make
money; and nobody will take the exccp-
ton to the conclusion.

Chandler don't propose to give it up SO.
The United States district judge has decided
In the case of Buell., arrested for an alleged
libel on "Zack," published 10 the Detroit
Free Press, that the so-called "press- gag
law" isn't any such kind Of law. In rem
dering his decision, he paid a left-handed
compliment to the attorney. general and the
district attorney by saying that the indict-
ment was evidently framed to cover a case
under the judiciary act of 1889, but that
they had not succeeded, and that, under it,
"Buell was guilty OF no offense OF which the
court could take cognizauce." The district
attorney gave notice of an appeal, being in.
clined to see whether or not he knows enough
to draw an Indictment and whether Butler
and Carpenter know enough to frame law
to the cases they "evidently intended" to
meet. Buell. will not be taken to Washing
ton for trial, but this appeal shows the ami
mus Of the prosecution and the purpose for
which the law was urged by Chandler, Car.
penter and Butler. Judge Poland, it will
be remembered, reported the bill, but he
knew better the effect thereof than did those
who sought its passage-and the judiciary
committee Of the senate, first, and now,
Judge Treat, have sustained his construction
of the law.-Rutland Globe.

Gould and Pacific Mail.

The New York correspondent Of the Bur-
lington Free Press has the following about
Jay Gould;
"Jay Gould has once more astouished
Wall street. lie has gobbled the Pacific
Railroads, and the Pacific Mail, aud controls
these two immense corporations as surely as
Tom Scott controls the Pennsylvania Gen.
trail. While Congress was slashing into Pa
ci6c Mail he was buying its stock. Congress
was blasting the reputation of the managers,
who probably deserved it, but whether they
did or not, Mr.. Jay Gould made the most Of
his opportunity. The stock went down to his
figure aud he bought it in in great Jumps.
Now Jay Gould turns up with not only the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company with its
twenty.four steamers, in his hand, but he
has his claws on the Pacific Railroads. Vir-
tually, this little reticent man runs a line of
road across the continent, aud the only
steamship connections with and supplemental
to it. That is to say, he controls the only
means Of communication between America,
Japan and China. Aud he has done this so
slyly, so silently, that no one knew of it till
it was accomplished"
The last remark is certainly an original
one. All the time that the Pacific Mail
investigation was being pushed during the
late session Of Congress nearly every dis
patch that came from tho investigating COM
York, coupled Jay Gould's purchases Of
stock and the investigation together as al.
most part of the same programme.

Montpelier,s Sensation.

The papers have it that Montpelier has a
pretty interesting breach Of promise case on
its hands. Miss Hattie j. Bradshaw, Of
Manchester, N. H., brings an action against
John w. Page, of Montpelier, sen Of our
state treasurer. Young Page was married
to Miss Higgins, Of Bolton, last Septem-
Der.
The plaintiff alleges that John w. Page
began to pay her marked attention early in
tho year 1871 and that his attention was
not continued very long whom proposition
Of marriage was made by the defendant and
accepted by the plaintiff. She further alleg-
es that the defendant, by repeated and re-
ncwcJ promises of marriage and other divers
means aud arguments, accomplished her ruin,
he meeting all her opportunities to have the
marriage solemnzed by trivial excuses,
which, though far from being satisfactory TO
her, accomplished his purpose by postponing
their nuptials. As plaintiff further alleges,
when her condition became known she urged
the defendant to fulfill his promise and un-
dertake to marry her at once aud save the
disgrace Of them both. To this, as alleged,
he made reply that he had friend who was
a physician who would get her out of the af-
fair all right, and that at some time there
after when defendant could get ready he
would marry her. She further alleges that
she could do no better than to follow defend
ants wishes, aud in so doing nearly lost her
own life and became permanently injured
and ruined.
Another suit is entered in the same court
by the same plaintiff against DIR. &. N. Brig
ham, Of Montpelier. In the declaration of
this SUIT the plaintiff alleges that the defend
ant, with force and arms, at Montpelier,
knowingly, unlawfully and wickedly gave
and administered to her divers dangerous,
unwhoesome aud perncious pills, drugs aud
mixtures intended to produce abortion, and
that his object was accomplished 10 two at
tempts with drugs and implements. This
writ was served on DR.. Brigham in few
days after his return with his second wife
from Chicago, where no was married to her
on the 18th of February last. These suits
were brought by attorney T. j. Deavitt !;
Coils. j. o. Livingston and f. V. Randall,
attorneys for the defendants.
Page claims that the whole thing is an at.
tempt at Matchmaking.
