tunity lately to pay compliment to
American courts and American jurists,
and he did it in very handsome terms.
The case was one involving an important
question of maritime law, an action
brought to recover for cargo lost by a
vessel which Was wrecked while trying to
secure salvage by saving another vessel
that was disabled. In giving judgment
for the plaintiff the Lord Chief Justice
said that, as it was e. first case of the
kind which had come before the court,
they had practically to make the law.
ri am glad" he added, "that in doing SO
we have the assistance afforded to us by
the decisions Of the American courts and
the opinions of American jurists, which,
though not binding upon U.S. are entitled
to the highest respect" He then went
on to show how carefully the law had
been analyzed and laid down by our
courts, and the wisdom and practical
common sense Of its bearings upon such
cases. What he suid was the testimony
of an eypertatofthe character and scope
of American insurance law.

the negro will not take much stock in
the result Of the election but, per con-
ira, if it does not fail, it is equally GER
tain that the Northern Republican voters
will l}not care for the success 'oftheir nom

have to do we suspect will be to buy off
Turner and the other promoters of this
scheme, either by other Offices or round
sum in cash. If they don't, there is like

Mr.. Gladstone's spoils of war by his
late victory are enough to make an
American politicians mouth water. He
has ninety five big Offices to bestow, be-
sides the yice.royalty of India and the
ordinary patronage Of the Crown. The
lord-lieutenant of Ireland gets 100000
q year, the lord-chancellor $4,000, the
Irish chancellor $4,000, and there are
eleven other Offices, the salaries of which
exceed 100000 each. Seventeen Offices
have salaries over $4,000, and sixteen
between $4,000 and $4,000. The minor
Offices range from $4,775 down to $500,
while the officers of the Queens house,

- The distress in ireland, It seems,
instead of being relieved is on the in.
crease. The last barrel was landed from
the CONSTELLATION" on Friday, but her
supplies were only drop in the bucket.
The people there had an idea that her
cargo, like the purse Of. Fortunatus, was
inexhaustibIe, and when it gave out 80
suddenly they we're greatly disappointed.
Well, the only thing to be done is to load
her up again and send her back as quick
as possible. Would that we had Tilden's

= In Howard county, Ark, Sarah
Stokes, only eighteen years old, stabbed
and killed Linda Stephens. aged twenty.
The cause of the murder was 8 quarrel
begun by the mothers of the two girls
and continued by the young people.
The murderess made8no attempts to es-
cape, and is now on trial. The families
live on adjoining farms and have been
neighbors for many years, and both sides
have many friends, between whom there
is much feeling.
The Pittsburg Post states that with
in the last ten days twenty furnaces that
sell iron in Pittsburg have gone out of
blast. 1t is also estimated that there is
enough finished iron in stock to last till
fall, and there is not likely to be any life
in the pig-iron trade till that stock is ex-
hausted.
- Another big scheme ,is,on foot. Ito
swindle the Southern negroes. Accom-
.pauy has been formed to purchase cheap
lands in New Mexico to be colonized
with negroes. The projectors of this
new freedmen's bureau expect to get 300
each from 100000 negroes.
Some of the best signs of the return
of better times in Eastern North Carolina
are shown from the general good condi.
ton of the county finances. In many
counties their paper is as good as gold.
