CoNsTrpUTIoNALdTY OF THE AMENDED
POSTAL Law. A curious case involving the
cohstitutionality Of the amended postage laws
has been brought in the United States Circuit
court for the district of New. York. A gentle
iran offers d book for mail transportation to
Philadelphia from that city, the postage at the
old rates being affixed. The package being
refuseds he applies for naandamus to compel
the postmaster to receive it.
The argument Of the plaintiff is that the
sundry civil appropriations bills, into which
the amendment to increase the rate ON third
class matter was inserted, was not a bill for
raising revenue !; that the amendment did pro-
vide ways and means for raising revenue that
the Senate has no constitutional authority to
provide measures for that purpose, that being
tie sole prerogative of the House. and therefore
the postal amendment, having originated with
the Senate and been grated on the bill,' which
was not one for revenue purposes, is unconstf
tutiOnal.

IMPORTANT INSURANCE SUIT.-In'May last
the case OF Resale c. Barry VS.. the Mutual
Life Insurance Company was argued before
Judge Van Worst in the special term of the
Supreme Court, New York, and decision was
rendered last week. It appears that the plain
titf's husband took out two polices on his life
in his wife's favor, for $4,000 in al, and paid
up his premiums to the defendants. The wife's
testimony was that. before his death, her hus-
bands business becoming involved, and he
requested her to aid him by assigning the pol
icies, assuring her that the assignment would
not effect her rights; which she refused to do
for some time; but; finding he became moody
and depressed, she finally yielded and her
husband at once pledged the policies to Will
liam Ii. Bruno, of Baltimore. creditor,Hand,
according to the insurance company's rule,
the policies were allowed to- expire. and new
ones were taken out in favor of Mr.. Bruno
without any new medical examination, the
premiums being paid partly Oh an accrued div
idend and partly by Mr.. Barry in cash. Mr..
Barry died insolvent. Mr.. Bruno claimed
the money due OIL the policies, but he two
became insolvent, and assigned his claim to
one Whiteleg. Mrs. Barry also put in her
claim, and the company expressed its willing
ness to pay the party in whose favor the claim
should be decided. Since the commencement
Of this suit, which was brought to determine
the claim. Mr.. Whiteleg died, and Mr.. Harris
was submitted as assignee, and a Judgment
against the company was obtained, but stay
granted.
Judge Van Worst decides that Mrs. Barry re-
ceived no consideration for her assignment,
and the assignee gave none, and that .hey are
not bona tide hold ers as against her. He gives
Judgment in her favor, and enioins the Balti-
more assignee from pressing judgemnt.

The Cincinnatti Commercial, which sup
ported Greedy in 1872, in comprehensive review
OF the political situation in Ohio gives thir-
teen cogent reasons why the Democrats will
be defeated in the October election, and con-
cludes:
We come therefore to the conclusion that a
Republican victory in Ohio this time is a GER
tainty-and that the majority for Hayes will be
handsome and emphatic, larger than he re-
ceived on former occasions, and sufficient to
pronounce the doom in the ration forever of
the sort Of Democracy that is now asserting
itself in this Ststc.

1t was not our purpose to excite the ire OF
the Dispatch by twiting it with inconsistency.
We have TO more respect for Consistency"
in the ordinary acceptation of the term, than
the Dispatch hats. We are a nation of circum-
stances and events. and controlled by them.
individuals are controlled in their conclusions
as to public policy by similar considerations
The only sconsistency'' we respect, is that Of
conviction as to the wisest policy, with the
lights developed. The Dispatch favored the
acceptance OF tine amendments to the Constitu-
ton in 1S6g-was the peculiar champion Of the
Committee Of nine movement-was an earnest
sTrue Republican, and aided in the success
of the party that bore that Name. After it
obtained power by such pretenses, it went
back upon the name, the policy and the prin-
ciples,antl became soinveterate in its denuncia-
ton of all the results Of the war, that it could
not tolerate Che thought OF even the celebration
of the Tooth Anniversary of the Declaration Of
Independence. IF it has SO changed its views
of the condition of public affairs and the me-
cessities of the case, and so modified its dfspo-
siton as to accept as a co-laborer Gen: Butler,
and to acquiesce in the Centennial, well and
good. We do not question the nhotve. It
only shows that our contemporary is keeping
abreast Of the sand may possibly get along
fast enough to square itself on our platform in
1876. We should certainly be pleased to have
so industrious, able and independent coadjtl-
tor as the Dispatch.

washing away corn, wheat fences, &c. Messrs.
Samuel Coiner, Isaac Long. David Maiden,
Frank and Jacob Kyger, ludlow, and others,
lost nearly all of their corn. Mr.. Collier, llv-
ing on DR.. George w. Kemper's farm, lost
one hundred and fifty bushels OF wheat, fifteen
acres. of corn, and great deal of fencing. Mr..
Joseph Hess, living on the Strayer farm, near
Port Republic; sustained a heavy loss to his
corn crop by the wheat, rails, &C., washing
down on it: 1t is stated that the water fell
four feet deep on level land, and it seemed as
though the clouds bursted on the ground. The
water around Mr.. Hess house was ten feet
deep, and large holes mere washed in the farm
in various places.

over three feet, our correspondent states that

FRUIT CULTURE IN THE UNITED STATES
F. R. Elliott, a writer on agriculture, has
been collecting certain data in regard to fruit
culture, and gives the total market value OF the
crop of the entire country at 81. 100000. New
York leads all the States in amount with ST.
100000. CALIFORNIA; figures are largest in pro-
portion to population, being S6,0o0.00O, this
sum probably including the yield from vine-
yards. The total sum for the New England
States is put at S. 000 000 the individual States

figures the San Francisco Bulletin, which al
ready claims that California is the leading
wheat-growing State, thinks that it will speed
lily stand in the front as the greatest producer
OF fruit, and holds that, so far from being over
done there, the fruit business is but in its in

The July returns to the Department of Agri-
culture, at Washington, show ain improvement
of the cotton crop during June, in all the cot
ton States, except Texas. Some portions of
the cotton area were afflicted with drought,
which, however, was less injurious to cotton
than other crops. In Texas, cut worms. cotton
caterpillars and grasshoppers were injurious in
mention cotton lice, but Insect depredations, so
far, have not affected the crop to an extent
worth mentioning.
