SUSTAINED BY THE HIGHEST
TRIBUNAL.

Following is a late dispatch from
Washington:
The Supreme Court, in an Illinois
case, made q decision to-day in effect
that the Journals of a House and SEN
ate OF q State may be produced aud
accepted as evidence that a bill did not
pass these bodies on accouu of not be-
ing properly recorded in n of the
books.
1t will be remembered that a case
involving precisely the same question
decided in the above opinion went up
to the Supreme Court of this State
ftom Eureka county. We allude to
the suit between Eureka and Elko
counties regarding the long disputed
Mineral Hill strip of territory. In u
case a clerical blunder had been COM
mitted in the enrolment of the bill
ceding certain territory to this county.
The original bill, as also the engrossed
bill, were found on examination to be
correct in every particular. Our Su-
preme Court, however, in its wisdom,
held that the journals of the Legislat-
ure could not lie introduced TO show
that the bill had been regularly and
legally enacted. This decision was the
very reverse of that just promu'-
gated by the highest judicial tri-
bunal in the land. The disputed
territory is now, of course, no longer a
living issue, but it is some satisfaction
after all to know that the theory set up
by Eureka's counsel and press has
been sustained by the Supreme Court
of the United States. 1t is true that
Eureka county lost several thousand
dollars in the way of taxes by reason
of that laundering decision, but we
can afford to forgive the Court if it will
only reverse the Eureka-Elko opinion
when next a similar case shall come
before it for final determination.

The Times correspondent SAYS the
protocol in its final form is a sort of a
solemn call upon Turkey, recommend
ing all known reforms which are speci-
fed. There is no question of Turkey
signing it. The same correspondent
says Russia expresses a readiness to
treat the question directly with the
Porte relative to disarmament, and for
that purpose would receive a special
commission from Turkey nSt. Peters,
burg, thus removing any objection
Russia had to allowing the Powers
any right OF interference in the matter.

as follows:

LIVERPOOL, March 81.
The steamer Victoria, from Boston,
March 18th, has arrived. A repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, who
is acquainted with A. Oakley Hall, was
on board the Victoria at 2 O'Clock this
morning. A passenger answering
Halls description was on board. Hall
was immediately recognized in the
passenger who vas known on board
as Mr.. Sutcliffe. He has about a fort
nights growth of mustaclie and side
whiskers, and was dressed in old
clothes, a dark blue shirt, red scarf,
small common cap, and s~pectacles, in
stead of the customary Eyeglasses.

peared from New York a fortnight ago
and was believed to be on board the
steamer Victoria" Hall replied,
well, what of that?" l told him he
was Hall. He replied that l was mis-
taken. l told him l knew he was Hall;
that his family was terribly anxious,
and that his friends in New York were
much excited about him. He asked
why they should be excited, and then
made q remark about the weather in
an unconcerned way and went out to
breakfast. We left the ship, and as l
helped him down the ladder he asked
me if i had found my friend yet. He
now worea an old Ulster overcoat. On
landing he went to the Office of War
rem e. Co., agents of the Victoria;
thence to the telegraph office, and
finally to the Northwestern Railroad
station, where re took a second class
ticket and left by the noon train for

have taken passage in a steamer, and
subsequently,, when the newspapers
gave publicity to Halls fight for Eu-
rope on the 18th, the date of the Vic
toria's departure, he was naturally re-
minded of the solitary passenger.
Seeing a picture of the ex-Mayor, he
declared w. Z. Sutcliffe must be Hall.
Murder, suicide and financial EN- bar-
rassment, stories coined in turn
to accoun for his Disappearance, are
now disputed. 1t is said by one who
knew Hall we'll that his outstanding
liabilities will not aggregate $3.50.

There Is hardly room for doubt that
A. Oakley Hall, of New York, il the
passenger discovered to-day on the
steamshipVictoria, that arrived at Liv-
erpool. He engaged passage on Mon
day, the 18th instant, in Boston. Dur.
ing the day he called at the office and
asked whether he could take passage
on the Victoria and how soon she
would sail. MI. O'Hars, the clerk,
told him she would probably sail on
the nth. Hall expressed a desire to
engage passage and the transaction
was completed by paying the price,
$50, giving his name as w. f. Sutcliffe,
from Quebec. The clerk thought it
queer that a gentleman should choose

Crop reports from all sections of the State
are of the most favorable character, and there
can be no question that the result of the sea-
sons work with the farmers has been all that
the remarkably favorable weather at the open
ing of Spring promised that it would be. Re
ports in regard to the potato crop vary so
that it is yet too early to arrive at n reliable
summary of its amount and condition, but all
kinds of grain have proved unusually produc-
tive, and ii is evident that this has been espo-
cially the case with the wheat crop. On our
last page we give paragraph from the agri-
cultural department Of the Montpelier Watch
man which mentions some fine yields of this
cereal, and from another exchange we clip
the following item in reference to some ex-
cellent individual harvests of wheat and oats
From one bushel of seed sown, S. A. Arm
strong, of Norwich. harvested 2s bushels of
nice winter wheat this season. l.. NJ. Wood
of East Bethel, raised four hundred and three
bushels of oats on five acres of land. Noah
Clark of Randolph, on three acres of land,
from nine bushels sown, raised two hundred
and ten bushels of oats, and ON one and n half
acres. from three bushels sown. he raised
forty-two bushels of wheat, of the Lost Ma
ton variety"
We should be glad TO hear from any of our
Windham County farmers who have raised ex-
ceptionally good crops of any kind

say that il was in the patient and constant dis
scmination of just and sound views on the
subject the creation Of II public sentiment
which shall make tipping n disgrace and in
the strict aud unyarying practice by the ia
theirs Of this generation of such temperance
principles as they are willing their sons should
copy. Coupled with this, the stern and UNI
yielding hand of wise and prudent legislation
must be felt in enforcing rigid restrictions and
in keeping in check every low and degrading
element.
While the attempt of the Record to place
The Phoenix on the side of the rum interest,
because we claimed the courage of our con-
victions and dared express them, was precise
ly what We expected, we cannot say that, hay-
ing done so, il has added TO the strength of
its arguments. The influence of The Phoenix,
through the forty-four years of its existence,
has ever been on the side of religion, good
morals and tcmpeunce-Nnd if we be pardon.
cd the seeming egotism of the remark, we may
add that so far as the temperance cause is
concerned, We believe that this influence is
not weakened by the daily practice and exam
| pie of its editors and proprietors. That The
Phoenix will continue in the future rs in tn,
past, to occupy this broad, firm, and unassal
| able ground We need not assure its friend
and patrons.

diet for plaintiff, S2OOs.33,
James UG9ins d. rife Us. ROckingHdm This
was an action brought against the town of
Rockingham to recover damages for injuries
sustained on account of the insufliciency of
the highway. The plaintiffs reside on Green
street in Bellows Falls, and the evidence show
ed that there was hole or gully dug out up
ON the sidewalk of said street Mrs. Diggins
fell into this gully one evening, breaking one
leg, and otherwise injuring the same The
defendant claimed that Mrs. Diggins was not
exercising ordinary care and prudence at the
time the accident occurred.
Verdict for plaintiff, S235 -.
STATE rs. Patrick Carroll This was an in
dictment charging the respondent with the
stealing of n horse and carriage. The evil
dence showed that the respondent hired the
property in question, on the I'd of August
last, of one Flanagan, n livery stable keeper
in Montreal. That at Lachine he met young
man by the name of Sumner, and in company
with him started for the States, vending ON
the way receipts for making fire and water
proof paint. On the 10th of August they
were arrested by Sheriff Sprague of Jamaica,
upon suspicion. 1t further appears that they
attempted to trade portion of the property
to Stillman Clark of Jamaica. The respon-
dent did not deny the above facts, but insist
ed that he had no intention of stealing the
property-that he was out of money soon af-
ter hiring the horse, and concluded TO work
his way to Greenfield, where he had acquaint-
ances and when there make arrangements to
return the team.
Verdict of guilty.
jamaica rs 7OcHsheHd. This was an APP
peal from an order of removal upon Geo. Puff
fer. The question was as to the liability of
Puffer to become chargeable TO Jamaica.
The testimony disclosed that Puffer was an
honest, industrious young man. though very
simple, and not able to earn full wages. That
he had thus far maintained himself and laid
by from his wages a few hundred dollars.
The jury failed to agree upon verdict in this
case.
Saturday morning, Patrick Carroll was SEN
fenced to three years imprisonment in the
States prison at Windsor. Charles Sumner
was sentenced for two years and six months.
Both young men were sentenced for larceny.

(From the Boston Daily Advertiser, Sept. 25l
Under its operation two-thirds of the towns
in the State refuse to grant licenses, while
the number of arrests for drunkenness in the
State the past year has been six thousand
less than during the last year in which
the prohibitory law was in force. In the
city of Boston the number of such arrests
was more than three thousand less, while
more than six hundred places where liquor
was formerly sold have been closed or volun-
tarily abandoned. Drunkenness in the public
streets is of very rare occurrence. 1t is held
to be more and more discreditable in social
circles Reform clubs aud public opinion are
seconding the efforts of the authorities to
lessen the evils of the traffic. So thoroughly
has the law been enforced, and so ready have
iuries been to convict upon necessary evidence,
that over three hundred violators of the law
are now serving out their sentence in jail, -
sending daily petitions to the governor for
pardon, which is invariably refused. In towns
and cities where licenses are granted public
opinion would not sustain, and the authorities
would not enforce, a prohibitory law. We
have had abundant experience on that point
But in great majority of towns prohibition
is practically enforced by a refusal to grant
licenses; and the governor holds the State
constablery in readiness TO enforce the law to
its fullest extent whether licenses have been
granted or not whenever he is called upon to
do so. Where prohibition is possible under any
circumstances the existing law is prohibitory ;
and where its license provisions are awaited of
the traffic is shorn of its worst evils.
