An interesting case occupied the attention OF
Justice MacArthur's court-Clrcult No. 2-during a
part of yesterday. G. Armsthol brought suit IN
rcplcvin against John w. Starr to recover the pos
session of a cluster diamond or its value, $500.
Tho plaintiff at the time the pin was lost was resi-
dent of Philadelphia, Pa, and testified that in No.
vember, 1878, his bureau drawer was broken open
and this pin, with earrings to match, the whole
valued ut $3.50, taken by his brother.in-law (hus-
band of his sstcr). one Frederick Cartier that Car.
tier was subsequently arrested by witness, with an
officers assistance, and aiding guilty, received
sentence. Subsequently Cartier wrote 10 his wife,
sister OF the plaintiff, and stated that under the
name of a. n. Marsh he len tho pin with Mr.,
Starr receiving amemorNndum rccCipLby which the
latter agreed to redeiyer II 10 hisl within ninety
days on the payment OF 1925 that he called upon
and correspondent with Mr., Starr, offered him $50
for the pin, but he refused TO deliver II up The
claim set up by the defendant was that ho advanced
the money in the regular order Of business, but
offered no testimony, The case went to the Jury
without argument, the court instructing that they
should consider all the testimony but be satisfied
that the plaintiff owned the pin in question. The
Jury returned aYerdIct that the painif DO restored
the ring or awarded $3.50 damages Mr. y. H..

The virginia Delegation to Chicago.

To Me Editor of The NdnOnal Republican.
SIR The late Staunton Republican convention
selected twenty-five delegates to the Chicago Con-
venton, and not only instructed them to vote for
General Grants nomination, but exert their united
and most earnest efforts to secure his nomination,
Among the delegates are three Collectors of In
ternal Revenue viz, Messrs. Russell Fernald and
Brady, and ono Collector Of Customs, viz, Mr.
most absurd report, which Is being published and
circulated even beyond the limits of the State that
the delegation Is not reliable for Grant-in fact that
IL can be more safely relied on 10 oppose him. A
greater and more cruel injustice was never done
than this report does especially 10 the gentlemen
whose names are mentioned above. 1t Is true
that they were originally Sherman men,
but every one who knows them knows
that they, having sought 70 be sent to
passed by the unanimous vote of the State conyen-
ton, TO do all in their power to promote the nom-
mutton OF General Grant would lose their right
arms rather than bcray thor constituents and vlo-
late the solemn instructions ofthc convention that
sent them. As q friend of these gentlemen / in
dignantly deny that there is q particle of ground
for tho unjust reports spread broadcast respecting
Virginia delegation who, under tho circumstances,
fails 10 do his utmost 10 promote General Grants
nomination is traitor tO his trust. and would de-
serve to DO hung rs such TO aChiCago lamp.pOst.
No such traitor, Mr. Editor, will be found among
tho Virginia delegates to disgrace the Republican
party and the hOnOred name OtNirglna.
Virginihs twenty-five votes are sure for Grant;
tho delegation, pronounce the report tO which /
have referred rs base and cruel SANDER,

Congress Yesterday.

There was but little OF interest In either House OF
Congress yesterday after the morning hour, tho
Senate being engaged on the Indian appropriation
bill, and the House on the bill amending the
laws in relation TO tho tax OIL distilled spirits. An
amendment offered in the Senate to restore the
Board of Indian Commissioners stricken out OF the
Indian appropriation bill by the House. led to
somewhat warm attack and defense of that board
but the amendment was finally adopted by q vote
OF 81 yeas to u nays The consideration of the bill
was not concluded when the Senate adjourned.
In the House during the morning hour some tify
or sixty reports from committees were made and
referred to the Committee Of the Whole Among
the bills reported was one by Mr. Cox for q COM
reciprocity between the United States and the
British North American Provinces, and resolution
by Mr. Rice to terminate the Fishery treaty, both
of which were referred to the Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union. Some sixteen
bills for public buildings in various sections
reported from the Committee on Public Build.
ings and Grounds and placed ON the calendar.
After the morning hour the House In Committee
of the Whole considered the bill TO amend the
internal revenue laws Some time was spent In
general debate. and the bill was then considered
by sections. Considerable opposition was made to
the clause cxempting distillers from the payment
of interest on the tax on spirits afler the same had
been in store one year. At hafpasti, without final
action the House took recess until half-past T.
The night session for the consideration of the
Members, and without much progress being made
the point of order was raised that no quorum was
present. and shortly Alters p. M the House ad.

State convention organized in this city to-day by
the election OF Thomas NJ. Waller as temporary
chairman, and after preliminary business, as
president of the permanent convention. In his
speech OH taking the chair he denounced the cleo

upon the Democratic party and tho country, and
In alludng 10 the nominee at Cincinnati, said the

the election OF President Hayes as a fraud; calling
for the nomination of q candidate at Cincinnati
devoted TO the Constitution and an honest govern
mcnt of conservatism which Will unite the party,
and prescribing the unit rule for the government
Of the action of tho Connecticut delegation. The
convention was harmonious 10 this point, when
Mr.. Blake, of Bridgeport presented resolution as
an amendment which was aimed az the candidacy
of Samuel j. Tilden, and declared the party should
not nominate a man, whatever may be his private
grievances or however eminent Who cannot COM
mand and rcoeiye the support Of the entire Demo-
cratic party and bring II success, lie supported the
