In the general term of the Supreme
Court Of the State of New York, q most
important and far-reuching decision has
just been rendered. Tie Western
Union Telegraph Company had absorbed
the American Union and the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Companies, and
authorized by one of the judges to issue
stock dividend of fifteen millions of
dollars. This decision has been reversed
by the Supreme Court, the scheme being
declared to be illegal as against public
policy. This decision is particularly i'm
portant because of the ground. of the
opinion. That which is against public
policy cannot be made legal by con.
tract. The court is the Judge of what is
or is not against public policy. The
principle of the decision appears to be
that no corporation, nor congeries of cor
porations. shall have monopoly to be

A Chicago Man Mad.

New York Letter.
While the Park theater was burning
several men in hotel near by were talk
ing about it. One was Chicago man and
he had a good deal to say. A New York
er who probably had not travelled much,
was listener. The Chicago man re-
called the big fire out there:
"You remember the Chicago fire?'' he
said.
"No," said the New Yorker, II never
heard of it. Had fire, eh? Did any
one put it out?"
"Did anyone put it out!'
eyes. Got some engines, I SUPPOSE"
"Why, sir, we've got the best fire de-
"Oh! then it was put out. Pm glad.
Hope no one lost anothing.''
The Chicago man turned away, but
pretty soon came back. A remark about
the theater being flinsy led him to say;
"a theater like that would not be al
lowed in Chicago; no, sir, not be Flowed.
Then the New Yorker Clipped in with:
"Have you really a theater in Chicago%
"Have we What?"
"a theater. You were speaking
about the theaters. Do actors ever go
out there?'
The Chicago man did not answer. He
seemed to be getting riled. The :nno.
cent New Yorker spoke again:
"Would there be any chance to start .
church in Chicago? Ihave friend who
feels that he was born to be missionary,
and he thinks that if he got into some
new settlement"
The western citizen was really getting
mad. He squared himself and said:
"Sir, you and your friend may 20 to
Halifax. 1t you ever come to Chica
60"
"Well, mebbe I will. should like -
see one of those new places. How do
you get there? Any Railroads.&c."
= When the meeting adjourned the Chi
cago man looked as if he wanted to lick
some one right away.

Some recent decisions of Pennsylvania

Some recent decisions Of Pennsylvania
courts are rather in the sentimental line,
considering the sources. It has recently
been held by one high tribunal that an
engagement of marriage creates lien
on the property of the parties respect
lively, which can be enforced at law in
case of breach of promise; and another
tribunal-the supreme court Of the state
in fact-has deliberately and specifically
defined what love is, what constitutes
courtship, and what may legally be con-
strued as an offer of marriage, e;::en in
the absence Of explicit declarations.
There is nothing particularly new in the
last decision as it conforms to common
understanding everywhere, but the low
ers of the Keystone state will now feel
that the matter has been made 80 plain
that "a wayfaring man though fool,
need not err"

GRANT AND FITZ JOHN PORTER
Strong Defense OF Porter by the Ex-
President

In the December number of the North
American Review, Just issued, Gen. Grant
has an article of ten pages, entitled An Un.
deserved Stigma. in which he reviews the
Fitz-John Porter case, reaching the con-
clusion from military considerations that
the finding of the court martial was erron-
eous and that q great wrong was done to
Gen. Porter, which ought to be undone as
far as is now possible and as speedily as
possible. After reciting the charges pre-
ferred against Porter and the finding of the
court, he takes up the alleged disobedience
of Gen. Popes orders and shows that in cases
referred to the general always acted upon the
best m ilitary judgment. The article con-
cldded as follows:
If a solemn and sincere expires sion of my
thorough understanding of and belief in the
entire innocence of Gen. Porter will tend to
draw the public mind to the same cenvic-
ton shall feel amply rewarded for my eff.
we'll as duty, to be the instrument even
in the smallest degree ofsetting Alright any
man who has been grossly w'onged, espe-
cially if he has risked life and reputation in
the defense of his country. l feel, as stat
ed on previous occasion, double interest
in this particular case, because directly after
the war, as general of the army, when
might have been instrumental in
having justice done to General Port.
er, and later as president Of the United
States, when I certainly could have done so,
labored under the firm conviction that HI
was guilty; that the facts Of the receipt Of the
4:3O order were as found by the court, and
that the position of the troops and numbers
were as given in the diagrams. Having
become b tier informed, | at once voluntarily
efforts to impress the minds of my country
men with the the justice of this case, and to
secure from our government, as far as it
could grant it, the restitution due to Gen.

Should the electoral college fail to
iect President in 1sS4-a majority of
the notes being requisite to an election
the duty devolves upon the lower
house of congress to elect the President.
II is is done, not by majority vote ofthe
members, as in the ordinar y legislation
Of the House, but by "vote by States"
Each state, on such an occasion, is emit
tied to one vote, and the character of
that one vote is determined by the rep
resentatives Of each state. Hence, which
ever political party has d majority of the
representatives from any state will con-
troll the vote of that state in the election
Of a President and Vice President bv the
House. It appears from the returns Of
the election Of congressman that in a
division Of the House by states, that the
republicans will have II votes, and the
democrats Ola democratic majority on
vote by states, 4. Thus it is made GER
tain that if the next election of the Chief
Magistrate and of the presiding officer of
the Senate is thrown into the House the
democrats will inevitably elect their
candidate unless some of the members
elect vote contrary to their present
affiliations.

The article of Grant on Porter naturally
attracted great deal of attention in army
circles here and the friends of Porter say
that in the Forty-eighth congress there
longer will he any question but that he will
accomplish his purpose. 1t has come, in
the course of this discussion, from friends
of Grant, that Grant denied that he recon-
mended the promotion of Pope, as has been
alleged, and that he said, if asked he should
have recommended some one else. Those
who are very near to Grant say that Pope
will not have bis support to prevent him
from being defeated by the opposition which
he will have to encounter when the senate
is asked to confirm the presidents action.

amiable, generous and charitable. As
