Decision i'm a Big Suit.

Decision i'm n BE Suit.
 E It is reported from Washington that the United States Supreme Court has just rem dered decision in the case of Christopher Oscanyan, plaintiff in error against the Win chester Repeating Arms company, in error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the southern district of New York. Oscanyan, the plaintiff in error, while occupying the position of Consul General of Turkey at New York, entered in- to contract with the Winchester Arms company to use his influence with the Turk the latter of the Winchester repeating rifle as its regular army weapon. Upon all sales of arms thus effected through his mediation Oscanyan was to receive ten per cent com mission. The Turkish government was thus induced to purchase rifles from the Winches- ter Arms company to the value of $1, 36O,- 900. The present suit was brought by Os- canyan to recover the stipulated commission. The court below directed verdict for the Winchester Arms company on the ground that Oscanyan, as 8 public officer of the Turkish government, had no right to sell his influence and use his posi- tion as such an officer for the purpose of making money. This court affirms the judg ment of the court below, and holds that the contract entered into by Oscanyan to sell his influence was corrupt in it's origin and cor rupting in it's tendencies. The services stip- ulated for and rendered were prohibited by considerations of morality and policy which should prevail at all times and in all coun- tries, and without which fidelity to public trusts would be a matter of bargain and sale. The contract entered into by Oscanyan is therefore invalid. The opinion was given by Justice Field

Cincinnati, March 29.-The snow
storm throughout Indiana and Ohio
has been general, accompanied in many
places by a strong wind. Here the
wind began last night and heavy rain
came this morning, changing to sleet
and then snow, which was still falling
at IL p. m. In the city it melts good
deal, forming a disagreeble slush, but
on the hill tops it lies to the depth of
four inches. At Kenton, Ohio, it is 20
inches deep, and at Wilmington and
Millersburg six inches.
Dayton, March 29.-The heaviest
snow storm of the winter set in this
morning about O'Clock, and has con-
tinued all day with little cessation and
is still falling this evening. The snow
is wet and heavy and has caused a
great impediment to business.
Muncie, Ind: There is heavy snow
and wind storm here. Two inches had
fallen by noon.

A watch which varies in a regular
manner is superior to any whose varia-
tion is uncertain. and where its varia-
tion comes to be familiar, the watch
may vie with the most delicately ad-
justed ships chronometer.
Suppose, for instance, your watch
gains minute a month. Take into
consideration the fact that in your
watch the balance wheel, by which it
is regulated, makes five oscillations
every second, which equals 430, 900 per
day, SO that your watch exposed to all
the vicissitudes which heat and cold
occasion, the varying weight of the air
and the shaking to which it is subject
ed by carrying, has not varied over a
minute month or two seconds month
or two seconds day. 1t has only ac-
quired with each vibration of the bal
ance variation of two hundred and
sixteen thousandth part of second.
Judge then, of the perfection of your
watch.
A watch cannot go for an indefinite
period. without being repaired or
cleaned. At the expiration of a certain
time the oil dries, dust accumulates,
and ''wear and tearn are the sure re-
suits to the machinery, the functions
becoming irregular aud frequently
ceasing to act altogether. Persons pos
sessing fine watches, and desirous Of
preserving them as such, should have
them cleaned at least once in two
years.

Washington, March 29.-There is no
change yet in the senate situation, but
it is probable that some arrangement
will be made by tomorrow for an ex-
ecutive session, as nominations are
accommodating rapidly. The men nomi-
mated by the president are getting very
nervous and are urging an executive
session.
A close friend of Sec. Blaine said
this afternoon that the nomination of
Robertson would not be withdrawn
under any circumstances. While Conk-
ling and Platt dislike the nomination,
the reports of their waging war against
the administration are exaggerated. 1t
is the opinion in high official circles
that there will not be war inside of the
republican party.
Attorney General MacVeagh pro-
nounces the report of his contemplated
resignation to be without foundation.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear to induce the president to with
draw the nomination of Chandler for
solicitor general, and if it is not with
drawn, an attempt will be made TO re-
ject him in the senate.
