democratic politics in Maryland, has come off
an easy victor in the contest for the U. S. Sen
atorship. Mr.. German is native of Howard
caunty, Md, and Is about Al years OF age His
case affords striking Illustration OF the oppor-
tunities afforded to ability and energy to make
It's way in this country. In 1852 he was page
In the Senate, where he is next year to take his
seat as member. Mr. German has occupied
various official positions in Maryland and has
been the president OF the chesapeake and
Ohio Canal company since 1872. He will retain
this place until June next, and will also serve
out his term as state senator from Howard
county in the Maryland legislature. as he will
not become a Senator of the United States
until March l, 1881.

Volving over $500, or questions Of general impor-
lance, shall be taken before this conrt. The
Z. s. courts throughout the country are over
Whelmed with business, and during the past
few years very many efforts to enlarge the U. S.
judiciary by creating new judges have been
made; but they have failed because OF the gen.
eral opposition to any increase In the expenses
OF government. By having the judges now in
existence in each circuit form an additional
tribunal the disposition Of cases would be facli-
tated without adding much to the public ex-
pense.
