NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 30.-Dun, Barlow Il
Co., proprietors of the well known Mer-
camille Agency, instituted OH Wednes-
day last Il replevy suit against new
agency called the Business Mems Union,
situated on Broadway, a few doors from
them, and owned by FOuse, IIershber-
ger x Co., who have houses also in San
Francisco and several other CONNER
cial centres. 1t is alleged that the lat
ter were making up reports mainly from
the reference book issued by Dun, Bar
low Il Co., and that this book and its
valuable contents was the exclusive
property of the complainants, they hay
ing never parted with the title thereto
and leased ii only to the subscriber.
The affidavits in the case state that
Fouse, Hershberger Il Co. had come
into possession of it by improper means,
and were retaining the information it
contained for the improper purpose of
deluding merchants, many of whom
were already holders of the book, who
thought they were getting fresh infor-
nation from the defendants, as it was
dressed up in different shape, ETC., at
subscription of one-third the rate
charged by other agencies. Armed
with the necessary orders, a sheriff IS
posse on Thanksgiving eve made de-
scent upon the Business Mems Union,
and discovered Dun's book in a back
room in actual use, seized it and car
ried it away, much to the CONSERVATION
of dozen poor girls who were busily
employed in copying the names and
classifying them and reconstructing
the ratingsit contained, whose occupa-
tion was thus suddenly taken away.
1t is said that the Business Mems
Union has over one thousand subscrib-
ers in this city alone, payments by
whom amount to fifty thousand dollars.
If, as has been alleged, this large sum
has been paid for information mainly
derived from other agencies already
accessible to and paid for by merchants,
the operation may be regarded as very
successful one. In daily sheet of
payments, etc., published by Fouse,
Hershberger Il Co. on the 2Gth and
9th of November, appear several
names against whom items of record
are recorded, which names are entirely
mythical, and were inserted as traps in
Dun & Co.'S sheet three or four days
previous. The exposure is a'most COM
plete one.

Hampton's Protege.


Washington, Nov. 0.-Considerable
interest has been manifested to know
why the President revoked the commits
sion Of District Attorney Northrup, of
South Carolina. He was appointed at
the request of Wade Hampton. 1t has
been suspected that his removal was
not without some political significance
connected with the vote Of Patterson
in the Senate. Ever since his appoint
ment was made, Patterson has asserted
that it was calculated to destroy the
the remnant of the Republican party in
South Carolina; that Northrnp would
neither prosecute the Democrats when
they violated United States laws, nor
extend any protection or aid to Repub-
licans in their resistance to political
persecution by members of Democratic
rifle clubs. \ dispatch from Columbia
SAYS Attorney General Devens assigned
as Il reason for the revoking of Nor
thrup's commission that there was Il
question that it had not been properly
issued. 1t is ascertained here that the
President has not withdrawn Nor
thrup's name from the Senate. One of
the first acts of Northrup after being
commissioned was to make nephew of
Wade Hampton assistant district attor-
ney.

SosIE of our courts OF justice are very
curiously constituted. They compel a
witness to swear that he viii tell ''the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth" and then render it ut
terly impossible for him TO keep his
oath. 1t is important for the lawyers
to keep out of sight certain part of
the truth, and if the witness expresses
Il desire to tell the whole story lis lips
are sealed and lie is told to keep still.
Justice is very remarkable thing, and
the entire truth is exactly what it
doesn't want, but only that portion of
it which vii enable one lawyer to gain
his case and both of them to collect
their fees.

Patterson's Effort.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The session of
the Senate is devoid of excitement or
particular interest up to the hour of
present writing -midnight-with the
exception of !the vigorous denouncia-
tory speech made by Patterson. AL
though mostly written out, the delivery
was extremely animated, and its nu-
merous sharp points and bristling SEN
tences commanded close attention, and
were evidently enjoyed by very large
number of his Senatorial auditors.

New York, Nov. 30.-Intelligent
English correspondence in discussion of
the future of the Turco-Russian war,
argues that its close will he as full of
peril as its outbreak was to England.
As the Mahommedan power of the
world can hardly consent to dismem-
berment of the Turkish Empire with
out endangering her hold on the loyalty
of her Mussulman subjects in India, and
if there be any truth in the very gen
eral belief of Europe that Germany
means to use the ascendancy which this
war has given her to extend her in

THE nomination of John NJ. Harlan
to be Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court was confirmed, but a motion to
reconsider was entered, and the motion
was left pending at the adjournment of
the Senate. There is good authority
for stating that the number of Senators
opposed to his appointment is small,
and that final favorable action will
shortly be voted by large majority.

She has climbed the golden stair.

And long for her sweet kiss,
Where her little feet are waiting
In the realms of perfect bliss
Lay aside her little playthings,
Wet with mothers pearly tears,
How we shall miss little Stella
All the coming, weary years
Fold the dainty little dresses
That she never more will wear,
For her little feet are waiting
Up above the golden stair.

The Agricultural Fair.

The Board of Directors of the county ap-
ricultural society are theoretically at work
preparing for the approaching exhibition,
which will be held at the fair grounds, near
Bel Air, on The 9th 10Th, 18th and 18th of
October next, and il is hoped the display of
stock, farm productions, &C., will be the fin
est ever made The department of "amuse-
ments" is again under the superintendent of
MIR. Robert T. Bovine, whs will spare no eff
forts to increase the attractiveness of the ex-
hibition in this respect. In addition 10 the
customary diversions, representation of IN
Indian war party has been arranged, in which
the dangers of travelling on the plains will be
illustrated. Another interesting feature will
be grand dress parade review and cavalry
charge of "The Governors Guard" the new
cavalry company recently organized in Har-
ford county by Col Ohio S. Lee.
The entry books are now open, and it
would be well for those who have decided to
take part in the exhibition to enter their
stock, &C., as carly as possible. Hartford
county contains at This time large number
OF improved horses, cattle, &c, while in agri-
cultural and and horticultural productions
our county has taken Il long step towards
the front since last year. 1t should be q
matter Of pride with our citizens to make the
best possible display of the resources of our
county, not only that it may prove an incite-
ment to renewed efforts in the path of pro-
gress, but also that visitors from abroad NAV
be favorably impressed. The ladies, especial
ly, should devote their efforts towards filling
the department allotted them with the beat
specimens of their skill in housekeeping and
fancy work. Their reputation in these de-
partments is at stake, and they should make
good display. 1t will lend attractiveness
to the fair and reflect credit upon them
selves. To one and all we say, begin at once
toprepare something for the coming exhibit
ton, and make 1t, as you undoubtedly can,
the best one ever held in the county.
