VERDICT FOR $4,000.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.-In the court
of common pleas, this morning, the
jury rendered verdict for $67, 600
in favor of A. B. Patterson, of this
city, against A. G. Attrill. The
plaintiff was employed by the de
fendant in 1873 to negotiate com
promise or settlement between the
Crescent City gas company and the
New Orleans gas company, of New
Orleans. The negotiations, after
agreement on the part of Attrill to
accept $500,O00, failed, and at the
suggestion of Patterson suit was in
stituted against the New Orleans
gas company, and Attrill recovered a
verdict for over 100000. Patter-
son was to have received $4,000 for
his services; failing to receive which
he instituted suit against Attrill,
which resulted in the verdict above
mentioned, which covers the original
claim with interest. Patterson is at
present, and has been for several
years, one of the judges of appeal
in the tax court of this city.

Tennessee Senatorial question.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The inter
est in the senatorial election in Ten-
nessee is increasing here, because the
political complexion of the senate de-
pends upon it. If the republicans
elect one of their men. their party
will control that body. Ex-Congress-
man Thornburgh, and other Tennes-
seeans who have just arrived here,
say there is no foundation for the
statement published, that the repub-
icans will combine with the low tax
or repudiating element in electing
a repudiator speaker of the state
senate, in consideration of the
vote of the low tax men for
Governor-elect Hawkins as senator.
The Tennessee republicans do not
feel that their party can afford to
make o repudiationist governor by
electing one speaker of the senate to
succeed Governor Hawkins, even if
the party thereby gains the United
States senate. Under the circum.
stances will the East Tennesseeans
enter into such combination and
the majority of them express pref
erenoe for Horace Maynard as their
candidate, and they believe there are
enough progressive democrats of
an independent national character to
elect Maynard over a, bourbon. In
addition to the republicans, it takes
but three votes to do it.
