SUPREME COURT business.
Before Adjournment to-day the Su-
preme Court delivered opinions in SO
cases, making in all for the term 206
opinions; $50 cases have been disposed
OF, and there are now on the docket Of
the court 973 cases. The Granger cases
have not as yet been decided, and

little need OF such formality. There are
u few other cases left over, among which
arc the New York Mutual Insurance
Company cases just argued, involving the
question Of the effect OF the war upon
contracts OF insurance between Northern
companies and Southern policy holders.
THAT BLAINE LETTER.
Reference has been made to letter
from Mr.. Blaine that was in some way in
troduced in the Maryland Convention.
The circumstances which led to the letter
were these: A prominent and distin-
guished Republican OF that State, and n
warm friend Of Blaine's, wrote to him a
few days before the Convention as fol-
lows:
every county in the State has dele
gates to the Frederick Convention favor
able to you, and the delegation TO Cincin-
natl will be for you unanimously. Would
you desire simply TO have your recog.
nized friends chosen, or would you prefer
a vote OF instructions in addition? You
can have which ever you prefer"
Mr.. Blaine replied as follows:
"ordinarily, | shoulI be unwilling TO
express any preference as to what a State
Convention might do touching myself,
but Of late, as you well know, very per-
sistent attempt has been made TO throw
mud at me, and pronounced expression
from the Maryland Convention in my
favor would at this time be gratefully re-
ceived.
