ceeding S4OO,OOO,OOO, to run five years
and be made payable in ten years, with
$500, 900, 900 certificates, bearing three
per cent. interest likewise, and redeem
able at the pleasure of the United States

CHARLEY Ross-AN Ex-CoNvIcT TO
BEGIN A SEARCH FOR TIE LOST Boy
William Westervelt; who was sentenced
to seven years Imprisonment on Octo-
Der 0 1875, on charge of conspiracy to
kidnap and imprison Charlie Ross, and
extort a ransom from his family, was
released at Philadelphia, Friday last,
having received fifteen months commu-
tation for good behavior. Westervelt
was the brother-in-law of William
Washer, who, with Joseph Douglass,
was killed at Bay Ridge, Long Island,
while attempting to rob the house of
Judge Van Brunt. Before Douglass
died he confessed they were the abduc-
tors of Charlie Ross. Westervelt was
induced to come to Philadelphia and
tell what he knew about the case, and
was arrested and imprisoned. He sta
ted that he does not think the child is
dead, and believes that it will be re-
stored to its parents. He intends to
follow up a clue that has never been
worked, and says if he has time be is
certain of success.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

A writer in our columns few days
apo referred TO tho evils OF expense and
DELAY connected with the machinery of
our Courts, in the decision of import
an, cases. We also notice that the New
York Times discusses the defects of the
Judiciary system In that State, and says
that il takes about two years after bring
ing "a suit to get trial; Their if there is
an appeal to the General Term, two
years must pass before it is argued and
disposed of; and in case new trial Is
ordered or an appeal is taken to the
Court of Appeals, the period OF delay
may be protracted to nearly ten years
before final adjudication is reached.
Meantime. witnesses may die or go out
of reach: recollection OF facts becomes
dim and uncertain, defendants fall into
insolvency, and the unfortunate litigant
in many cases, finds that justice, if he
finally gets it, is not worth what it has
cost in time, money, and vexation of
spirit. Where business is done so large
ly-and We may add so carclessly-on
credit, it is evident that these delays
and uncertainties of the law operates as
a shield to fraudulent debtors.
In Ohio the Bar Association is ask
ing lbe Legislature to pass a law re-
quiring tina, no case shall remain pend
ing in court for longer period than
one year. That would he good law
in this State if it could be carried out.
1t would be a good law, anyhow, for II
II cannot be executed under the pres
ent arrangement everybody would agree
that a system which made it impossible
TO carry out so good law should give
way to better system, and the effect
OF the law would be 10 open the way to
the necessary reforms.

THE JoBBING TRADE AT HAGERsToWN.-
The Wholesale Grocery Of :. u. Bloom Il
Co.. of this town, which started as an eX-
pertinent three years ago, has increased
to a most gratifying success. 1t draws TO
this town business men from all the towns
OF the adjoining counties and directly and
indirectly benefits our whole population.
Mr.. Bloom, by his indomitable energy
has established business relations with
the retail merchants throughout large
tract of country and his trade has assumed
proportions which would surprise his
nearest neighbors if he would publish the
figures. The Shenandoah Valley railroad
was no sooner opened to HagerstOwn than
Mr.. Bloom was on hand to extend MS
business along its entire line. The facll-
tiles he possesses and the small expense
he is at enable him TO compete successful
~ with the largest jobbng houses III the
cities. This fact is pretty generally re-
cogniZed by retail merchants III TINS Sec
Mail.
sD We also invite attention OF the
merchants of this town and those OF the
county as well as the adjoining counties,
to the extensive advertisement Of S. NJ.
Bloom u Co., f1agerstoWn, IN our coi-
umns, and of whom the Hagerstown
Mail speaks of in the above paragraph.
They sell only to regularmerchants,and
we feel assured that they can purchase
upon better terms from the above firm
than they can in the Eastern Cities be-
sides saving the enormous freight. Sew
eral of our mechants in this town have
informed us of this fact already.
In connection with the above para
graph the uagerstown Mail also says;
If some enterprising citizen would es'
tablish wholesale dry goods and notion
house in this town, we do not see why he
would not meet with the same success and
the two trades would benefit each other.
Many persons buy groceries in Hagers-
town, but have to go to the city to get dry
goods and prefer to get everything at the
Same place. Mr.. Updegraff already does
large jobbing trade in gloves and Will
extend it to ready made clothing and we
do not think the day is far distant, when
a retail merchant can buy "a full line OF
goods for a general store in our Gown.
