following from Washington A Democratic
paper in New York has published with i'm.
pressive headlines and profusion of italics
decision alleged to have been rendered by the
United States Supreme Court, through JUS
tice Swayne, in 1875, in condemnation of the
employment of General Garfield as counsel
by the Pavement Company. Nothing is

such an opinion. No such language was ever
used by Justice Swayne on the bench or else
where, and he never had an opportunity to
deliver judicial opinion upon the matter,
because the case in question was never taken
before the Supreme Court.

The Wheat Prospect.
New York, July 22d.-The Republic, re-
viewing the wheat prospect, says: The
severe storm which swept over England last
week has greatly affected the outlook. It
does not seem likely now that England will
require 20, ,000, 600 bushels less than it did last
year. According to present indications,
France will need as much within SO, 600, 600
bushels as it did last year. Such information
as is received from other countries of the
Continent does not now warrant the belief
that their demands will be as large as they
were in 1879 so; but an allowance of 10, 000,-
000 bushels for the difference, or $4,000, 0GO
bushels for England ard the Continent,
seems to be as much as is warranted thus far
In the light of the latest advices, it is only
fair to say that one or two days of bad
weather may increase the demand very much,
while 1t does not now seem probable that it
can fall below that of last year by more than
GO, 900, 900 bushels.
