Judge Hume's Decision in Build
ing Association Cases.

FROM the hamilton Ielegfapl.
Judge Hume's Decision in Build
ing Association Cases.
Friday, in the Common Pleas Court,
Judge Hume rendered two decisions
which have an important bearing on
Building Associations The two were
those of the West Hamilton Loan and
Building Association against John
Uhlmer, and the same against Jacob
Meier The decision given was upon
a demurrer to the defendants answer.
The petitions were in the usual form
on foreclosure of mortgage given to
secure the payment of dues, interest
and fines of those taken advanced
loans. In these cases said payments
were by the conditions in the mort
cages to continue until the Assecia
tion shall run outlay |, 1875. The
defendants answer that they have paid
in dues and interest in the aggregate
more than the sum received from the
Association, and ask for a Judgment
for the oVerplus, and also that said
mortgage may be cancelled. To this
the Association interposed a demur-
rer, stating as ground that said an
SWOI OiN uO6 SLAlc 1dCIS SuluCLGuG u
constitute defense, whereIpon Judge
Hume said:
1. That said overplus could not be
recovered back by defendants, having
been paid voluntarily and knowingly.
2. That although defendants have
acted unwisely in paying such large
premium in order to get advanced
loans, yet Court of Equity will not
interfere to set aside the agreement in
the mortgage without just cause.
No cause being set up in this an
sWer, and no defense relied on except
that of part payment, the law which
| expressly authorizes the collection of
these premiums not having been de-
clared UNCONSTITUTIONAL, the Associa-
ton will be entitled to collect said
premium. He decided the answer
therefore bad, and sustained the de-
murrer thereto.

A Penitentiary Romance.

COLUMBUS, January 31,-About a
thousand persons, including members
of the General Assembly, municipal
officers and citizens, visited the chap
ell at the Ohio PeniteRtiary to-day to
witness the marriage of Thomas Miles
and Nancy Scott, the two convicts
whose term of service for burglary
expired to-day. The parties were en-
gagged to be married at the time the
burglary was committed, and rather
than be separated from her lover, the
woman plead guilty and consented to
an imprisonment of two years.

We desire to call the attention of
such young gentlemen as object to
going West and growing up with the
country, to the weather reports of that
section for the last few months, and if
they fail therein to find necessary in
ducement then are they indeed hope
lessly welded to the land of their birth.
The thermometer thirty and forty de-
grees below zero; streams frozen to
the bottom; snow storms coming up
so suddenly and so fercely as to over
whelm children on their way to school :;
with winds of which the 'Washoc
Zephyr is fair illustration. All these
and more, certainly combine to form
q list of attractions for a winter resi-
dence unsurpassed elsewhere. Then
in summer the long droughts, togeth-
er with swarms of potato bugs, and
the skies darkened with clouds oi
grasshoppers, assist in making out the
/ bill of attractions, it is indeed hard to
decide in which part of this Granger S
Elysium one would set up his resi-
dence. But go west, young man, by
all means go west.'- Lebanon Star

Narrow Gauge.

Hoo. g. w. Louvre recently visited
this city, and during his soiourn, pass
ed over the Narrow Gauge. He tells
the readers of the Keokuk Gate City
what he thinks of it, as follows:
Having recently passed over the
Narrow Gauge railroad from Des
Moines 1 met Mr. j. J. Smart, Vice
President and General Superintendent
of the Des Moines and Minnesota
RailrO ad Company, from whom I de-
rived valuable information as to the
cost per mile, including rolling stock
of said road, as well as the working
of the same The road is thirty seven
miles long, and without going into
details as to cost, he informed me it
was seven thousand dollars per mile.
This sum includes every item, such as
right of way, grading, ties, ironing,
rolling stock, ETC., which items he
gave me in detail. The grading cost
$500 per mile AS considerable grad
ing has been done between Keokuk
and Mt. Pleasant, deduction could be
made from that amount to that extent.
Said railroad has two locomotives, at
a cost of SIG, 900; two coaches 81 900,
two baggage cars $4,000, fifteen box
cars 5000. Th e distance from Keokuk
to Mt. Pleasant being some thirteen
miles greater than from Des Moines
to Ames, would require more rolling
stock. Being the first time I ever rode
on a narrow gauge, / had a curiosity
| to know how it operated. To my sur
prise, it is in all respects as easy and
comfortable as the broad gauge, and
made the run of thirty seven miles in
two hours, which is about the average
on other roads. Mr.. Smart Informed
me that the earnings of the road were
much greater than the company had
anticipated, and, although new road,
was already paving we'll. The com
| pany is anxious to extend its line so
as to get it an outlet at some point on
| the Mississippi river, and when sug-
gested that they mi ght meet us at Mt
Pleasant he said he would lay the mat
| ter before the company, and for him
self thought favorably of such line.
Such road would run through the
most populons and wealthy part of
| Iowa, and would enhance the value of
all the lands on either side, and the
towns and cities through which it
would pass, as well as to build up
many new ones. Not having any ex-
perienee either in building or running
railroads, leave the subject for 9TH
ers who have more experience and
greater interests to take such action as
the premises would seem to require.

= Bishop Wilmer, who came so
valiantly to the front for the purpose
of rendering the weight :ot his pom
derous clerical name in favor of that
lawless and numbering organization
known as the White League, was a
rank traitor and rebel during the war.
1t was he who concocted the conund-
rum, ''Why was the South like Lazar-
US? Because it was licked by dogs !!
Isn't it rather funny, according to
this, that the slaveholding chivalry OF
the South should have been whipped
by dogs, and thus shown their inferi
ority, physically and mentally, to the
canine race? The reverend traitor
was not very happy in his hit after all.

A very important bill, abolishing
second trials, has passed the Legisla-
ture. It will add greatly to the relief
of our courts. Nearly every case that
comes into them has two or more
trials, according to the feelings or
purses of the litigants. Hence the
most impartial decisions ever given
by the courts are continued time and
again when there is not the least me-
cessity for it. The only object the
contestants have in view is to frus-
trate the plan of the other, and see
how long person may be kept out of
his or her just rights by these dilatory
maneuvres. The reform is q good
