In accordance with the resolution adopted
June by the French committee on the Franco
American treaty Of commerce, a committee Of
senators and deputies had an interview to-day
with Minister Waddington to urge action
in Chambers in response to the resolution now
before the United States Congress, and opening
negotiations with the United States govern
ment on the subject. Waddington received
the committee most cordially. He stated he
had already exchanged communications on the
subject with Everts, United States secretary of
state, and would instruct the French represent
ative at Washington togive the matter the
most serious consideration. .......t--.

One of the most peculiar things in all the
legal complications of the st. Paul & Pacific
road is the suit begun yesterday by Receiver
Farley against the new management, asking
for division of the property. MIR. Farley
does not claim to have invested anv thing
but simply to have been one of the original
pool organized to buy the bonds and the
matter having been successfully consumated,
without his aid, he comes in and demands a
share. There are probably good many
people who would like to own slice of the
reorganized st. Paul & Pacific, and if all
such persons bring suit for divide it will
keep the courts busy. Perhaps it would be
quicker to chop the property up and divide
it around on the true communistic principles.
Most any will take a chunk of good
paying railroad if he can get it. .,.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN

For the past week the Republican papers
have busted themselves in concocting all
sorts of stories about disagreement be-
tween Gems. Ewing and Rice and a possible
rupture of the ticket placed in nomination in
Ohio last week. They have asserted that
Ewing insisted upon the retirement of John
G. Thompson from the head of the State
committee, while Gen. Rice insisted as
strenuously upon his retention, and that up
on this rock the ticket was bound to split.
Happily this disagreement has only had an
existence in the imaginations of the editors
and correspondents of the Republican press,
The wish with them was father to the
thought We have abundant and authorita-
tive proof for the statement that no such
contention exists or ever has existed between
the candidates, but that they have no
sought to interfere in any manner with The
organization of the committee. If it shal
choose to retain Mr.. Thompson in the posi-
ton he has SO long and so ably filed, or t
dispense with his services, there will be n,
objections from either Gen. Ewing or Gen
Rice.
The Importance which the Republican
attach to the result in Ohio the coming fal
evidenced by the frantic efforts they ar
: making to stir up strife in the Democrat
ranks. Their endeavors, however, will be Q
no avail. Never, within the recollection Q
the Oldest politician, has there been sac
unanimity in the Democratic party of tina
State as is now manifested. The candidate
are acknowledged to be strong POLITICAL,
and no two men in the State can boast of a
large personal following as Ewing an
Rice. Certainly none better deserve it.
There is no doubt but upon the result 9
the election in Ohio will depend in grea
measure the conduct of the two parties j

CHIEF JUSTICE RYAN.

We regret to learn that Hon. Edward G.
Ryan, chief Justice of the supreme court of
Wisconsin, is lying at the point of death. For
many years past Mr.. Ryan has occupied q
prominent place in the affairs of the North
west. He founded the Chicago Tribune as q
Democratic paper about thirty y-eight years
ago, and by his yigor and ability soon placed
it in the lead of Western journals. He soon
wearied Of editorial work, however, and went
to Milwaukee, where he engaged in the prac
tice of the law, early taking the foremost
rank at the bar of that city. He was an, ora
tor Of rare power, commanding in presence,
forcible, logical, and, where his feelings were
enlisted, terribly vindictive. In 1856 he
achieved national distinction by the man
ner in which he conducted the prosecution
in the impeachment trial of Judge Levi
Hubbell before the Senate of Wisconsin.
His speech in closing the case for the State
was masterpiece of oratorical invective,
and it is recorded that as he proceeded,
piling denunciation upon denunoiation on
the head of the accused, Judge Hubbell left
the Senate chamber in horror and dismay.
Possessing naturally irascible temper, that
defect was increased by financial reverses
and family bereavements, and gradually he
lost the lucrative practice he had gained.
When the wardrobe out he had no hesitancy
in espousing the cause of the South, and, op-
posing himself almost single handed against
the people of the entire North, he issued the
famous Ryan address, document remarka-
BILE for it's fierce denunciation of the policy
of the administration of President Lincoln
and at the same time an able argument in
defense of the course of the South. In 1874,
a vacancy having occurred on the supreme
bench through the death of Judge Byron
Paine, the bar of the State united in nomi-
mating him to the place, and he was elected
without opposition. He was reelected for
full term two years afterwards, ho one
caring to contest the place with him. As a
jurist he had few superiors. He was abso-
lutely fearless in the PRONUNCIATION of his
opinions, always emphatic in denouncing
whatever to him had the slightest appearance
of wrong. He was an orator of rare force,
and possessed fervor and wealth of Ian
guage that few men in the country could
boast. His eccentricities were many, yet no
one has over whispered even the suggestion
of dishonest motive as applying to him
either as lawyer or as judge. His death
which appears so imminent, will occasion
widespread sorrow, for though he had many
| and bitter enemies politically, he had not a
single personal foe save those who had merit
| ed and received his denunciations.

APLAIN DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.


The judicial appropriation bill passed the
sufficiently noteworthy to call for extended
remark, for such result was anticipated and
required by the exigencies of the case. The
debate on the passage of the bill, however,
ought to command the attention of the pub
lie, for it illustrates the position of the two
parties most fully. The Republicans, through
their chosen leaders, Messrs. Hiscock and
Garfield, opposed the bill on the ground that
it did not appropriate money enough for the
judicial branch of the service. The bill,
however, appropriates the usual amounts re-
quired, leaving out only those sums that
have heretofore been appropriated for the
pay of supervisors and deputy marshals en-
ployed at the POLLS. They are no part Of the
legitimate judicial expenses of the govern
ment, and were very properly omitted from
the bill. 81 = : =
Both Garfield and Hiscock declared that
the act of the Democratic majority in leaving
out provisions for these extra-judicial officers
amounted to nullifcation. We are willing
| to admit the charge. It was notification
of an unconstitutional law, the repeal of
| which has been inhibited by the executive of
the Republican party. For nullifying such a
law we think the Democratic party is entitled
to very large credit mark. Nothing un-
constitutional or illegal was attempted in the
bill. It has been the custom ever since the
government was established to withhold ap-
propriations that might be deemed unnecces-
sary by Congress from any department Of
the government. Such appropriations have
affected the executive the Legislative,
the judicial and the diplomatic depart
ments in the past, yet no one has
seen fit to denounce though they have
criticised such action. It is but. q few years
since Congress came to the conclusion tha,
the mission at Rome was an unnecessary
expense. The appropriation for the .salar,
) Of the minister at that city was therefor,
dropped from the bill, and by that means
!, the mission was abolished. The act was le
! gitimate, and met the approval Of the peopl
of the country at large. Similar instance

Syllabus-The charter Of defendant in terms,
authorized it to enter upon lands and construct
and operate its road over them in advance of
making compensation for the lands taken.
Some years before institutirg proceedings to
obtain the right of way over lands Of plaintiff
it entered upon strip of land belonging to
plaintiff, constructed its road over it and has
been in possession of and operating its road
over the same ever since. In so taking posses
sion Of said strip and constructing its road over
it, it intended to make such strip part of its
general line and ultimately to secure in the
manner provided by law the right to retain and
use the land for that purpose, in proceedings
to ascertain the compensation for the right OF
way across the land.
Held-That although the clause in the char
| ter authorizing the defendant to enter upon
and construct its road over lands without
| having first made compensation for the lands
| taken, was void and the defendant was q tres
passer in so entering, and whatever it affixed tt
the soil became a part of and strictly belonged
to the owner IF the soil. Yet as in these pro
ceedings the question is, what is just, fair anc
equitable compensation to be paid to the own
er for taking the land, and damage arising from
taking the same such owner is not entitled *
have included as a part of said compensation
the value added to the land by the road bed't
| ties, rails, etc, placed on it by the defendant
