THE DECREE AGAINST WESTERN UNION.

THE DECREE AGAINST WESTERN UNION.
REQUIRING THE COMPANY TO FURNISH AN ACCOUNT
OF THE RESULTS OF THE INFRISGEMENT-DE-
cIsIoN on A PERMANENT INJUNCTION RESERVED.
Judge Blatchford, in the United States Cir
cult Court yesterday signed the decree On the decision
rendered by the last week in the suit brought by
Clinton g. Colgate against the Western Union Telegraph
Company for the alleged infringement Of patent on
guttapercba insuatOr The decision held that the pat
ent was valid and the nsUlator is used very extern
svely by telegraph companies and, is claimed. s III
dispensabe them the decision is regarded Of
great importance.
F. H. Belts and ex,Judge shipman appeared before
Judge Blatchford for the plaintiffs exJudgo Porter and
Mr.. Clifford for the defendant. Before any action
taken by the court Mr. Belts called attention 10 certain
letters which the plaintiff had received from William
Orton, late president Of the company, written about
eleven years ago In these letters the writer said that
he would refuse to acknowledge the validity OF the
plaintiffs patent until 10 udicialy settled and that
the company preferred TO take the risk of using IT,
the counsel were perfectly familiar with the fact that
was customary for the court 10 grant perpetual in
junction part OF an nterocutcry decree Ihat TINS
matter however lay within the discretion Of the court
established fact. The question before him was,
whether taking INTO consideration an the iacts IN tle
case he ought to refrain from following the ordinary
custom The burden was on the defendant to put the
court IN possession any facts which would lead IL to
depart from this course Tho question OF the amount OF
q license fee TO be considered. That the nerrup,
ton OF the defendants lines would produce trouble ana
dissatisfaction was thing which the defendant could
by affidavit But whether the court should rely on
the ex-parte adavts OF both sides should listen 10
The crOss-examnatiUn Of witnesses, was matter OF
doubt IL was requiring very nice handling OF
tie powers OF the court. II the plaintiff should offer
reasonable terms OF license, that would he strong
point but the court could not determine whether the
terms we're reasonable until the defendant had had
opportunity 10 put III aidaylts on the subject 1t was
case which complicated with other inteless than
those of the parties, and because OF It's Importance
Judge BatchOrd said he had desired the presence OF the
counsel in order that the bestSand most just course
should be selected
After considerable discussion a determination was
cd Al he
sell The court signed the decree establishing the pat
ent, and requiring the defendant to account before
Joseph Gutman Master in Chancery for all the savings,
damages etc. caused by the nfng OF the patent.
The question OF granting the perpetual injunction
reserved and the argument this is 10 be heard
Monday December %. In the meantime, counsel 70
serve their afHdayits upon each other.

Ex-Congressman Charles James
Faulkner, of Martinsburg, was in atten-
dance upon the United States District
Court last week.
Upon the question which is para
mount at this time, that of the national
currency, Mr.. Faulkner occupies con-
sentative position. While he was not
in favor of the resumption act, he is
opposed to the schemes of the initiation
wing of the Democracy and the plat
form of the Greenback organization.
The latter he considers an ephemeral
party, which will disappear with the
gradual removal of the stringency and
comparative stagnation of business
which followed the war, and he holds
that the doctrines which it teaches are
81 far removed from the traditions and
true policy of Democracy, that no con-
sistent Democrat can give them their
countenance
Mr.. Faulkner is at present out of
political life, and is busily engaged in
carrying out some cherished plans
which were delayed during his term of
service, but he is close observer of
current events, and has learned TO
Judge them correctly by "a long and
varied experience in public affails.-

REMOVAL OF AN EYE.-Last Tuesday
DR.. w. f. Fundenberg, OF Cumberland,
Md, who is now stopping at the Glade
House, removed the right eye from MIR.
John CHASER, aged 40, of Woodbury.,
Bedford county. Mr.. G. lost the entire
sight of his right eye from an attack OF
scarlet fever when only six years old. 1t
never gave him the slightest pain, but
within the past six months the sight OF
the sound one began to fai. rapidly,
which now ended in almost total blind
ness. The bad eye was successfully re-
moved at once, with the hope of arrest
ing the destructive disease OF the left
one. 1t may be possible to have sufi-
cient sight for ordinary purposes. Upon
examination of the removed eye it was
found to have turned TO Bone, which no
doubt caused the destruction of the sight
of the other one. The Doctor was ably
assisted in this important operation by
DR.. Henry Brubaker, Of this place, and
DIR. A. p. Brubaker, of Philadelphia

Sept. IA, 1873.


Miss Ida Davis, daughter Of Mr..
John Davis, had the misfortune to
break the bone of one of the fingers OF
her left hand on Monday last. The ac-
cident was occasioned by window sash
falling upon her hand.
Mr.. b. Wageley had severe spell of
nervous toothache, Il guess it was nerv-
ous) the early part of the week, but we
are glad to hear that he is now all right
again. l can sympathize with him for
l had "spell" of that same complaint
this week, which for several hours
shook my confidence in the stability OF
my grinders, but my attack was not
quite as severe as Ben's, for he tainted
under the severity of the pain. David
Chapman sprained his wrist while work
ing at Mr.. John Blues aud has been
enjoying an enforced holiday for sever
al days, while pursuing the injured men,
Der back to health.
Mr.. John Blue threshed 535 bushels
of wheat from So acres, and MIR. Philip
L. Henry garnered 637 bushels from
40 acres

to his old neighborhood, and is now
running the "IIopewell Mills" Mr.

Mr.. Samuel a. J. Morningstar and
family have returned TO the old home
stead, after an absence of nine or ten
years, the past six of which were passed
in the vicinity of Wheeling.
These two families are hereby cordl-
ally welcomed TO our community, and
hope their stay may be pleasant and
| profitable both to them and to us.
DR.. Balch, of Leetown, is somewhat
exercised about strange creature, OF
rather a number of creatures, which he
recently found near his spring. The
DR.. at first thought the thing was
water snake, but when he attempted to
kill the supposed reptile, the component
parts thereof scattered, ard then he
saw that it was only collection OIL
worms travelling in company. Perhaps
they were army worms.

WALKER DRUGGED.-Last Saturday
morning, and even on the previous
Friday evening, after the arrival OF
Capt. r. z. Dennis of Lewsburg, to
speak at the Salt Sulphur Springs meet
ing, a report began to be industriously
spread by Bourbon agents, that Hon.
lily. S. Walker had been on big drunk
at Lcwisburg during the week, and that
his wife had to come up from Charles
ton to take him home. This being a
very damaging report, and evidently
used to make Democratic capital, we
took pains to ascertain the particulars.
From reliable sources we learn that Mr..
Walker, fatigued by his campaign la
bors and speeches in Lewisburg, Mon
day 2d inst, sought restorative III a
stimulant. The public sale of liquors
being in Lewisburg under the official
ban of the Democrats, who want TO
keep all the whiskey for their own use,
Mr.. Walker had to send to drug store
for few ounces. After partaklng
moderately of this he was completely
Frustrated for about twenty -four hours,
and impartial witnesses tell us he was
in semi-comatose condition during
that time. Dr. McChesney, his physi-
clan, Mr. Walker says, is willing to
certify that the liquor used was drug
ged. We leave just public to judge
whether or not it is creditable for Dem
ocratic politicians to try to make cam
paign capital out of such al occurrence.
They try to assassinate Mr.. Walker for
opposing them, as they tried to assas-
sinate the editor Of the Monroe county
Register six years ago for the same
cause. Kenna their candidate is a mem
Der of the Committee on Enrolled Bills
in the House of Representatives, Com
mttee. the members Of which, expect
one coored man, were drunk on the
night of adjournment, and unfit for bust
ness; although the closing Of the nation
al business awaited their finishing
touches. Is he TO be regarded more
acceptable candidate than Mr.. Walker
without any public responsibility the
involuntary victim Of drugged whisky?
A just and generous public will pass
judgment at the polls. Since the cur
rent of this outrage great and favora-
BILE change has come upon our senti-
ments towards Mr.. Walker and we are
confident that every lover of fair and
honorable dealing in the Third Con
eressional District will share the same
sentiment. Association must be stamp
ed out as a political agency.-NO"ros

A CRY OF ASGUIsH.-The shadow OF
a great woe is hanging over our devo-
ted city. The number suffering from
the pestiIence is fearful, as accurate re-
ports published elsewhere will prove,
and every hour swells the list. The
medical fraternity Of Vicks5urg are
worn out, ard many of them are on the
sick list. Let immediate application be
made for competent medical assistance,
for as distinguished practitioner has
recently said, IAN epidemic is the true
physicians battle ground" Vicksburg
aud Grenada are twin sisters in sorrow
aud we have not the heart 10 dwell up
on the sad and heart-rendering subject.
All that humanity and self-abnegation
can accomplish is being done, but aid
must come from sections not stricken.
Yesterday we saw corpses hurried TO
the grave without attendants, and God
only knows the CHASTITY sights and
scenes of pain transporting in Vicksburg
tonight. We have seen the horrors of
the battlefield, have tasted the sorrows
and deprivations of prison life, have bur
led comrades aud friends on lonely and
fsr-off fields, but We have never, in
varied and eventful life, witnessed any
thing which SO awakened the sensibili-
ties of our nature May God have mer
cy upon us all !-Vieksburg Herald.

LINES WRITTEN ON THE DEATH
OF MY DARLING FRIEND, ELLA
Z. SHOW.
MY LOVED FRIEND IS NO MORE.

How my heart sickens and my eyes
grow dim
To think I've looked the last on her be-
loved face,
Which death has robbed of all its sweet
ness, while
lie left a token of loves presence in the
smile
That sheds DER all a beautiful grace.
No more shall her sweet eyes their lids
unclose,
No more her voice awaken on our ears
Though fancy dares to cheat us OF our
grief
And rouse a frenzied hope into belief,
That still again those loving tones we'll
hear.
Tho years have passed methinks hear
the well known step,
Each place where her dear feet were
wont to stray
And through the mist of years there
rises oft
A vision of the loved one clad in soft
And bright garments than she wore
away.
NV heart has mourned her ever since,
Her hand l tightly pressed though quick
ly Ger,
Her face fell, and then a shadow Ger us
both
Caused tears to flow and then the ten
der word Farewell"
And o, indeed, now must say my
darling "is no more.
But she has won the victory and the
fight
The terrible encounter now with he is
DER,
The pain of disappointment and the woe
Of hope deferred, she ne'er again shall
know,
She has gained the Victory and will
fight no more.
So while bear lifes burdens, passing on
Towards the goal to which my footsteps
tend,
I'll think that this departed one is safe
From all the ills that pross and grind
and chafe
My toiling spirit as l wend anyway.
Heaven is not so far but may reach
It's crystal heights and tread the shining
shore,
Nor do | know how soon He may COM
mand
My presence, where the Angelic Hosts
do stand
To meet my loved friend there to part
no more.

How IT LOOKED IN WEST VIRGINIA.

How IT LOOKED IN WEST VIRGINIA.
CONGRESSMAN WILSON SATISFIED
WITH TIE SITUATION AND PRosrEcTs.-
Hon. Ben Wilson, Democratic member
of Congress from the First district Of
West Virginia, arrived in the city yes
terday. He was found at the National
Hotel by The Post and asked for an
account of the political situation in his
state. He replied:
"They've got up little scare about
Kenna's district, but l don't believe
there is any cause for uneasiness.
Walker can't beat Kenna."
"What sort of scare?" asked The
Post.
"Some of the Greenback clubs have
been induced to pledge Walker their
support, and it has alarmed some of
our friends, but my opinion is that the
Greenbackers will support kenna very
largely. His record is entirely salts
factory to them. The Republicans,
who are in the minority, have Endorsed
Walker. They are ready TO support
anything or anybody to divide the
Democracy and weaken its forces"
elias Walker been Republican
heretofore"
"No. He was Democrat formerly,
but as the Republicans have no show to
elect candidate OF their own, they are
willing to support him against the regu-
lar Democrat.
GLOW do you feel about Mr. Kenna'S
prospects,"
IL do not feel uneasy. He will be
elected"
"What about your own district"
"All the National banks OF the state
are in my district and they are fighting
me with all their might. The National
banks are really furnishing the sinews
of war against us. They supply the
money to assist in overthrowing Demo
cratic supremacy"
"But you'll be reelected in spite OF
them?"
ooh, yes; think so. My opponents
have circulated all sorts of reports about
the help 1 get from Washington, but !
pledge you my word | have not had
one particle of assistance; not even 9
single document"
as there any danger Of defeat in
Martins district
"Not bit; Martin is as safe as if he
were already elected. The Republicans
won't take to Burr. -Four or five Of
their papers have repudiated him, and
one Republican in good standing tolG
me he had rot seen single member OF
his party who meant 10 vote tor him. =

AFFAIR OF HoNoR.-An affair, to
which this euphonious term is through
courtesey, though sometimes sarcastical-
ly applied, occurred, as we learn from
the Martinsburg Statesman, at Berke-
ley Springs, on Sunday of last week.
a. T. Dean, son of an officer of the Ma
Wy, and J. A. Robinson, guest at the
Trego House, had slight misunder-
standing. Robinson feeling that he had
been insulted, struck Dean, with his
open hand, on the mouth. A challenge
passed; G. NJ. Pendleton, of Berkeley,
for Dean and Henry Brown, of Balti-
more, for Robinson, acted as seconds.
Pistols were discharged; Robinson fired
in the air and held out his hand to
Dean, who took it, and as nobody was
hurt, all retired satisfied.
