this day claims credit for the letter Sehurz

Columbus last June. The speech at Uncle

ridiculous that Congressman Poppleten, of
Ohio, couldn't resist reading it TO congress.

An 1mportant Prinoipls Decided.

From the GeReseo Republic, AprtL 8oth.
An important principle was decided 10
the case of Stein VS.. TIlton by Judge lie
land at Princeton last week, The suit in-
volved the question as TO whether a party,
who sells to another his business and
enters into a written agreement that, IN
consideration of the sale, he will forever
refrain from prosecuting the same, can
be enjoined By proper tribunal from re
engaging in the business sold. 1t has
generally been supposed that such an OBJ
legation or agreement was void in law and
against public policy; but Judge Leland
in the above case decided otherwise.
The facts in the case are these: In
May, 1867, j. G. Tilton OF this city sold
to Fred Stein, a part of his stock and
tools, in the iewelry trade, and with them
the good will of his business, executing
a special contract as TO the latter and
binding himself not to resume work or
traffic in this city. In 1872 Mr. Stein
claimed that Tilton had violated his con
tract by re-ongaging in his former bust
ness in Geneseo, and that he was greatly
damaged thereby.
In June 1875 Stien brought suit against
Tilton for a continued violation OF his
written agreement, and petitioned for an
Injunction to restrain him from carrying
on the business of jeweler in any Of its
branches here. The litigation which fol-
lowed was long, tedious aud expensive,
fer both sides fought the case inch by
inch and LETT no stone unturned TO achieve
victory. The best lawyers in this part
of the state-Dunham for Stein, and
George W. Shaw for Tilton-were en-
ployed, and, both parties having plenty
of money, the contest was hot one.
Last week Judge Leland, OF the Bureau
county circuit, 70 which the case had
been taken by change of venue by Tilton,
gave a decision in favor Of Stein. and
granted an injunction restraining TiltOn
from prosecuting the business Of jeweler
in Geneseo during the natural life OF Stein
The writ forbids him from carrying on
the vocation in any of its branches, either
selling or manufacturing jeweIry, or deal
ing in the same directly or indirectly, so
long as Stein is engaged in it. The in
juction is positive and perpetual, and de
cides a very important legal question.
The matter Of damages was not pressed,
but was reserved for jury to pass upon.
We understand that Mr.. Stien claims and
will sue for $40, 600. which at first blush
may seem a large amount, but when it
is taken into account that Mr.. Tilton has
been violating his contract for several
years, to the great injury of MIR. Stein,
the claim does not appear to be an unreas.
enable one.
Hon. Charles Durham managed the
case with great ability for Mr.. Stein.
Considering that the principle involved in
the case is one concerning which many of
the best lawyers in the country entertain
doubts. the victory was a good deal of a
feather in MIR. Dunhams cap. George
W. Shaw, Esq, made a strong defence,
and conducted it with great skill and legal
acumen; but, unfortunately, the Judge was
on the other side, and we all know what
that means.

A friend fmine who has facilities for
knowing what transpires in court cir
cles, tells me that the Princess Louise
(Marchioness OF LOrne) is firm believer
in spirituallsm, and that during the
time when the newspapers were full OF
most sneering references to Blade, Her
Highness summoned him to her side, had
numerous seancas with him, and treated
him with all manner OF consideration.
AprOpOs OF Louise, The gossips have
not yet done talking OF the curious fact
that on the opening of Parliament the
Princess Louise and Beatrice both
drove to Westminster in the Royal coach
with the Queen; but of all the lords,
Knights ana gentlemen who took part in
the pageant, there was no place, it
seemed, which the Marquis of LOrne
might iCly occupy. The anomalous pO-
sltiOn winch he occupies as husband OF
the Queens daughter, but not the equal
OF h.s wife, must be CALLING TO the proud
young Scotch nobleman. Yet the
Queens own marriage was in many
points similar.
Long years ago-but this is bit OF
exclusive remlnisCence known only to u
