General Sherman's Letter.

General Sbcrman's letter on the presi-
dcncy question is genuine surprise to the
politicians Of both parties. but gives more
satisfaction TO the Republicans than to the
Democrats. Among certain class Of DEM
ocrats-those who huve been Advocating toe
nomination Of General Sherman as the
Democratic candidate for the presidency
the letter falls like bombshell. They are
thoroughly demoraized, and say that it is
plainly evident, from the allusion in the let
ter to Governor Hayes, that General Sher-
man will support the Republican candidate,
and that be has abandoned his inclination OF
two or three years past to act with the Dem.
ocratic party. The appearance of the letter
at this time is regarded as significant. To
the Republicans the declaration in favor of
the election Of man to the presidency who
stood by the UDion firmly and unequivocally
during the civil war is accepted a positive
ultimatum that he will act with them in
the coming presidential campaign.- Wash

The Rights or a Baifding and Loan
Associations.

This was case tried before jury In the
Superior Court-Judge Dobbln--yesterday
the result of which will prove OF consider.
able Interest TO loan, saving, building, and
like associations, and the members thereof. II
was the case Of Caspar Sauer us. The Balti.
more Butchers Loan and Annuity Associa-
ton. Sauer in April, 1874 coined the Asso.
citation, taking twenty shares. He inmedi-
ately borrowed from 1t 5000 on mortgage
STIMULATING that he would pay it back In
instalments Of $40 per week with interest at
six per cent. The Association, iD addition,
charged him bonus OF one dollar per week
for the loan, which, as the payments were to
extend through n period Of three hundred
weeks, made $500. Sauer ut the same time
assigned his shares over to the Association,
and agreed that be was not to participate in
any of the profits. In November, 1875, he
released the mortgage, paying consideration
for the privilege before the time had expired.
The suit was with the view Of recovering from
the Association all Sauer had paid in excess
Of six per sent. interest, including the 5000
bonus, S44 10 fines, and the consideration
paid for the early release Of the mortgage.
1t was claimed by counsel for the plaintiff
that as he had assigned bis shares to the
Association, and was debarred from any pro-
fits in the latter, he was the same as any
other borrower, and that he could not be
charged any more than six per cent, and,
further, that he was legally exempted from
the payment of bonus and fines.
Judge Dobbin held, however, that the fact
Of Sauer having assigned the shares did not
release him from being a member, and that
the Association had the right to impose fines
on and collect the bonus from Sauer the
same as they would from any other member.
The jury were therefore instructed that II
the Association had charged no more than it
was allowed to do by the act Of Assembly
under which it was incorporated that the
plaintiff could not recover, and also that II
he had paid consideration for the release OF
| the mortgage, and knew at the time it was
not interest, then he could not recover.
The jury, under instructions from the
| court, brought in Il verdict in favor OF The
Association.- Baltimore american, 9Th.
