STATE NOTES.

The unusually warm weather OF the
pas. week wound up on Sunday night
with .'high" old carnival. A hurricane
almost unprecedented swept down the
valley, in the bosom OF which Berkeley
Springs seems 80 quietly nestled, before
which fences, chicken coops, &C. yielded
like feathers.-Morgan Mercury.
THE Morgan Mercury gives the fol-
lowing as the peroration of an argument
of demurrer lately delivered by young
lawyer of that county, 1t is evident
that some day ar other he will make his
mark:
aMay il please your Honor, this is q
stupendous question. Its decision by
YOU, this day, will live in judicial his
tory long after you and shall have
passed from this scene OF earthly glory
and sublunary vanity; when the tower OF
Pisa shall be forgotten; When Waterloo
and Borodino shall grow dim in the
distant cycles of recedlng centuries;
when the names of Eugene Marlborough,
and Napoleon are no longer remember
ed; when the Pyramids OF the Pharaohs
shall have crumbled into dust; when the
bippopotamus shall cease to inhaolt Its
native Nile; even then your ruling upon
this demurrer will still survive i'll tho

THE decision by the United States
Circuit Court for the eastern district OF
Virginia of the case in relation to the re-
ceivership of the Chesapeake and ohio
Railroad directs that Henry Tyson, the
receiver appointed by Judge Bond, settle
his accounts on or before January 10th,
vbereupon he will be discharged,
and parties allowed to proceed IN
the State Courts, according to the
desire of a large majority OF the
creditors. The effect of this will be to
place the road in the hands OF General
Wickham, the receiver appointed by the
State Court, whereupon the foreclosure OF
the mortgage and sale OF the property
will be proceeded with. 1t will be Pur-
chased in the interest of all classes OF

II
garding Hon. Ira j. McGinnis from the
Charleston Courier. This gentleman
has made many warm friends since his
arrival as a Senator amongst us, and we
believe that all who have the pleasure
of his acquaintance will say that the
compliments paid him by the Courier are
fully deserved: Among the ablest and
most efficient of those who served the
people IN the Senate of the State at the
late session, Hon. Ira j. McGinnis, OF
Csben, is deservedly prominent we
believe he was conceded to be
nv far the most effective
debater in that oooy, anu
in every discussion in which important
nublic interest were involved. his voice
was heard in behalf of the right.
We learn that among those members OF
the Senate who hold over, his name Is
very favorably considered in connection
with the next Presidency OF that body.
No better man can be chosen.

For eign Markets.

LONDON, January l5.-Money has
been in active demand for purposes of set
tlement, but there has been little COM
mercial demand for accommodation, and
in the absence of inquiry for new loans,
other financial enterprises rate gradual
ly lowered. A reduction IN bank rate,
Thursday, is talked about. The market
for every kind of produce continues de-
pressed. Sugar and beef is very dull.
There is more inquiry for all descrip-
tions of hops at full prices.

Mark Anthony, in the play OF Julius
Cesar" is not loveable character. To
his great qualities, his courage, boldness
and wit, Are allied an lnSiduous demsgog-
uery whose cunning display is one of the
greatest triumphs of Shakespeare.
Dangling the pierced robe of dead Caesar
before the eyes of the Roman rabbLe, he
s,irs their hearts to mutiny while depre-
eating any tumult. He brandlshes
Caesars will, and as the infismed poPulace
rush of TO burn the houses of the conspir-
stors he rushes down and cries with
fendish exultation:
Now let II work. Mischief thou art aioot;
Take thou what course thou wilt.
If James G.. Blaine, after his Ander
sonville speech, had sat for the picture of
Marcus Antonius, the poet would not
have changed line. Between the
"curled Antony and Blaine there is,
however, striking difference. The one
held up the robe OF Caesar, newly y slalni
the other gesticulstes as, with mimi Bile
fingers, he holds up the moulderlng grave
clothes OF the Union dead whose corp.es
he turns ove- in their sepulchre to get the
makings Of party flag. Outside OF
the minority in the House of Representa-
tives who cheered deliriously at the willy
speech, we may ask, cal Blaine awaken
.ny other feeling than disgust As the
sacred cerements Of the dead Union SOL
diers drop to pieces in his busy fingers?
Tho dead of the Union shall never be
forgotten. but the ghoul who robs their
graves to make party flag shall Not be
thought q hero. The flag to sweep the
country must be of fsirer bunting than
can be woven from the "bloody shirt Of
Morton or the "grave clothes OF Blame
There is one other view OF Blame
posturing as the Republican Marc An
tony which must not be forgotten, for 1t
is in Mr.. Blaine's eyes, of the greatest
moment How will it tell for
Blainel Able and cunning, with the
An,onian flavor Of ostentatious blunt
ness, he lets bis wishes appear as the un
dercurrent, rather than the tide, OF his
s,eecb. Like Antony in his most ELUSIVE
sentences he woul1 be read between
the lines. When he fed precipitstely to
the cloak room to dodge the third term
vote. he let his hslting excuse OF delicacy
on account of being spoken OF as fres'-
dentist candidate tell the under story that
he only reirained from striking Grants
ambition because he loved Grant 1t IS
the fault of such men TO reason too finely
with themselves, and expect the world to
be cozened with q hslf-uttered thought.
Mr. Blaine knows that his fight with Mr..

beaten as much rs BLAINE deserves to be
censured is q doubtful advantage to him.

transactions SO as to become q constituent
of another offense, for the purpose OF ad.
nitting evidence of both. He showed
how certain Of the articles could only be
proven by disproving others, and claimed
that the managers could not be permitted
to introduce any evidence to contradict
any matter which the House of Delegates
had charged against the respondent in
any of the articles; that, in other words,
they could not introduce evidence which,
while it might tend to prove one of the
articles, would directly overthrow an.
other, and thus make the articles mutu-
ally destructive.
This position was conbated by Messrs.
GOOD and STUART, and after considera-
Bile discussion the question was with
drawn for the present. The remainder
of the testimony went to show that
the bank did pay Mr.. WILLIAM 7. BUR-
pETr a certain percentage on the State
deposits, after paying the interest to the
State in accordance with its bond.
Nothing was emcidated however, to show
that the Treasurer was party
TO the transaction, or that any
Conspiracy existed between father
and son to with ess' knowledge.
After Mr.. CABELL was dismissed, Mr.
JAMES +. Brown, formerly of the same
bank, was called. His,testimonylbrought
out nothing new, He said he did not
know of any bonus having been paid
to the Treasurer; that he did know of 8
per cent on deposits at one time, and 2
per cent at another, having been paid
w. T. BURDETT; shat he paid this by
instructions from the proper parties.
The question was asked if he had ever
had any conversation with JOHN S. Bur-
DErr in regard to this payment. This
was objected to. and after some discussion
His Honor Judge RAYMOND decided
that under ordinary circumstances, 1t
would be Inadmissable, the alleged con-
spiracy between father and son not
having yet been established, but that
he did not wish, at this time,
to exclude it. The witness then replied
that he had never had any such con-
versstion. Nothing else was elected
from the witness, AMI he was discharged.
Mr.. j. NJ. DoDDRIDoE, cashier of the
Merchants Bank aforesaid, was next
called, and he was examined by Mr..
Coon. His testimony, however, was
pretty much the same as that already
given by the other witnesses, and con-
tanned nothing of any greater conse-
quence. Pending his examination the
court adjourned till 1905 this morning.
