A Call for the Fool-Killer.
A Washington Democratic paper, whose ed
itor for several years has been warm sup
porter OF Hancock, is both alarmed and dis
gusted by the publication of a, fictitious opin-
ion OF Justice Swayne in condemnation of
Gen. Garfield, and warns the party press that
it will not pay to deal in such falsehoods. 1t
announces to-day that if the "fool-killer'' will
kindly attend to the fellow who started the i'd
lotto story that Grant would support Hancock
Swayne the language of ex-senator Doolittle's
brief, he will confer favor upon the Demo-
cratic Iarty.
Printed Matter in the Mails.
Judge Freeman, assistant Encouragement
for the Post Office department, has decided
that printed matter sent through the mails as
samples Of the printing thereon and printing
from plates and photographs, etc., should be
classed as miscellaneous printed matter. When
the matter is sent both as a sample of printing
and as sample of paper, which is merchan-
disc, Judge Freeman makes the following rul-
ing:
eff the purpose is the publication, and if
the material upon which the publication is
made be the usual and natural one used, any
incidental benefit of such use can be available
to the maker or seller of the material But
where the sole purpose is to exhibit the mate
rial upon which the printing is done as a sam
pie, and the printing thereon is only in raid o
such purpose, the matter thus exhibited is no
properly second or third class NATTER

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Relations OF Express and Railway
Companies

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 26.-1n the case of
the Adams Express Company against the Louis
vile, New Albany and Chicago Railroad,
Judge Gresham has decided that the railroad
company has no right to charge the express
company for carrying packed parcels, the ag-
gregate sum it might charge for parcels if sent
for the carriage of a safe or chest containing
parcels as on single package only 1t cannot
demand the inspection of the contents of
such parcels unless it has reason to believe the
contents and dangerous to life or property The
railroad company, which has been trying to
eject the express company has, though under
restraining injunction, been annoying the
express company in various ways and finally
refused to receive its safes and chests unless
permitted to open and examine their contents,
whereupol. the express company moved an at
tachment against the railroad company for
contempt. Judge Gresham holds that the
railroad company is in contempt, but as they
were acting under advice of counsel dismissed
the attachment.
