Important Law Suit.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Two weeks ago,
in the case OF the suit against Ex. Gauger
Cullerton's bondsmen, brought bythe Gov
ernment 10 recover the amount Of dam
ages caused by Irregularities on the part
Of Cullerton, as Gauger, Jndge Bladgett
decided that the Presidential psrdon OF
Cullerton covered this case and that the
bondsmen were not liable. This was at
variance with Judge Drummond's ruling
on similar points, and as the question
involved the cases Of Ex.Gaugers Hi.
dreth and Waterman, the U. s. District
Attorney laid the matter before Attorney
General Deyens. Instructions were re-
ceiyed to-day that the case would be ap=
pealed from Judge Biadgett to the U. s.
Supreme Court, and District Attorney
Bangs will accordingly carry itup. The
Government regards these cases as very
important, not only in point Of money
but in point OF law.

Last night about $50 o'clock Mr..
Frank Ridgely, clerk in Joseph Beatty's
drug store, closing the store for the
night, was in the act OF blowing out a
large street lamp which had been in use
in the store, when 1t suddenly exploded
with terrific force, stunning Mr.. Ridgely
and knocking him backwards about six
feet, aud would have fallen had he not
caught on the shelving. A piece oi

painful wound. Large pieces OF the

OF an inch In thickness, aew some fifteen

Tilden has not given up the hope Of
yet getting into the Presidential chair.
He Is playing desperate game to that
end. He is at the bottom Of the New
Orleans prosecutions. His object in this
Is to faint Hayes title. On the 4th Of
March, 1879, he calculates the Democrats
will have majority in both houses Of
Congress. His plan then would be to
have the Senate and House recognize
Tilden as President. This would be rev.
olutionary, but Tilden was in favor Of
revolution when the Electoral vote was
counted in 1877. That would not stop
him, Being In, he would use the patron.

There are several things in the way Of
this scheme. In the first place, large
majority OF leading Democrats do not
want anything more Of 1flden. They are
tired Of him. In the next place, the
House upon which he depends is 10 be
elected this fall, and will, in all proba.
bility, be Republican. Thirdly, any
party that would attempt such q reyolu-
tionary scheme would be overwhelming
ly defeated by the people. The old man bad

money, were committed against an honest
ballot; distribute freely Of his money to

men who were the victims Of the shotgun
policy which carried Mississippi, Ala
bama and North Carolina for him against
majority Of the legal voters In those
States; compensate Eph. Holland Tor his
sufierings in jail on account Of the frauds
committed In his behalf in this county;
candidly admit that but for cor
ruption Connecticut, New Jersey and
New York would have voted for
Hayes, and thus prepare Tor his
appearance at the judgment seat,
where his scheming and his crimes are
duly reported. Tilden should not be
deluded by modern theorists into the
belief that there is no he'll. He should
rather heed the cries OF the blood Of mur.
dered thousands that ascend day and
night against him, Tilden will die and
answer for his wickednesa, but he will
never be President Of the United States,
