The END OF THE GREAT CANAL CASE
Judges Bond and Morris, of the United States
Circuit Court, ON Monday, delivered their
opinion in the suit of Daniel X Stewart vs..
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.
This was an application for the appointment
of a receiver to take possession of and oper.
ate the canal. The result of the suit and
the reyiewal of the case by Judges Bond and
Morris must be regarded IA Il yindication of
the administration of the affairs of the canal
by its President, Hon. A. p. German. As
to the allegation that the canal has been and
now is used primarily and mainly in the in.
terest of partisan political objects, the court
held that this is an evil, which it can not rene
dy. The State of Maryland being the owner of
majority ofthe stock, and through her board
of public works appointing the President and
Directors, the management of the canal is
necessarily connected with political changes
in the State government. The court say
there is no proof to establish the charge of
abuses growing out of this political connec-
ton nor that the revenues of the corporation
were being squandered in paying persons
not really necessary to its business. The re-
view of the case is a lengthy one, and the
conclusion reached by the court is that "most
of the material averments of the bill are I'M
supported by the testimony and those which
are proved are not such as to justify the
exercise ofthe judicial power which would
.,,ta Al, n
for an indefinite time the management of n
quasi public work, attended with unusual
risk and uncertainties"

COMMUNICATING A hartford COUNTY In
vENTIoN.-From the proceedings of the last
regular meeting Dec 30, 1S80,) of the EAST
ern Experimental Farm Club of Chester
county, Pennsylvania, as published in the
West Chester papers, we clip the following
item
"The implement committee made the fol-
lowing report: Patent cattle fastener in
vented by James d. Waters, Esq., of Hartford
county, Maryland, and exhibited by Jesse
Burbank. The arrangement is designed to
liberate cattle or horses from stalls instantly
and simultaneously in case of fire, and is also
calculated to save time and labor in that op-
Grafton at all times. The device is simple,
durable and not expensive, and is easily ap-
piled to any number Of stalls if i'm line We
regard it AS being worthy of adoption by
dairymen and feeders everywhere The club
concurred in this report"
We learn that Mr. Burbank's success in
putting up this fastener in Chester county
has been quite satisfactory and that he is
likely to find profitable employment there for
some time to come Other parties are also
engaged in introducing it in Lancaster cOun-
ty, Pa.
This is the second season during which it
has been used in this county, in the stables
of Mr.. VIM. Woolsey and Mr. Parker H. Lee
as well as in those of the inventor, and we
understand the best test, actual trial, proves
it entitled to all that is claimed for it,

4 Wild Dog Captured.

An apparently valuable setter dog has been
running wild, for nearly year past, in the
neighborhood of Chestnut Hill. She had grown
very fierce and although many efforts were
made to capture her she invariably eluded her
pursuers. Last Saturday Mr.. Theodore Welsh
tracked her TO her lair under straw rick She
fled from him and after q long chase, Mr. Welsh
being on horseback, the animal took refuge
under his porch At the risk of being torn to
pieces he succeeded in getting rope around
her and secured her. BY kind treatment she
has been subdued, and appears to be rcconciled
to tn" approach of her capturcr. Mr. Welsh
prizes his Wild dog very much u.

Col. A. X. Mcclure, editor of the Philadel-
phia Times, who has recently returned from
trip through the South, has been giving his
impressions of men and the condition of af-
fairs in his brief soiourn in that part of the
Union, in n series of letters addressed to his
paper He wiclds facile pen his style is
clear, and in many instances almost pctur
esque He has shrewdly observed the peo-
pie with whom he has been thrown in con-
tact ndappears to have dealt with them in a
spirit of iberality. He thinks that the South
is animated by no spirit ofhostilty to the in.
coming administration, but that their heart
felt want is that peace which rightly adj
minstered government alone can givc and
this they ought to have, not MS a favor, but
rs n matter of right. Most of the lawless-
ness which has disgraced the South since the
war has been caused either directly or indi-
rectly by the reckless, INSCRIPTIONS charac-
tiers who have infested that section under the
name of carpet baggers-a set of low adven-
\ turers, who settled amongst defenceless
people with no idea of permanently remain
ing, but only for purposes of plumber and
selfaggrandizement. They filled all the Of
fees in the gift of the people, represented or
J rather misrepresented them in the halls of
Congress and vilfied and abused the very
people who had elected them.
In all departments of their government the
South has suffered from Federal interference.
United States judges have been appointed,
who prostituted their high powers for parti-
san ends, who have prosecuted unofending
citizens and have rendered decisions contrary
both to the letter and spirit Of the laws they
were sworn to execute.
Col. Mcclure says that in several of the
Southern States he found criminals and out
laws enjoying the patronage of the admins
