HAGERsTowN, Md, May 29.-The ruI.
ings Of the court in the Farrow- -Negley
case having settled the question as to the
plaintiff right to recover, the only mat
ter left for the I1Ty to consider was the
amount of damages. Nj. i!%mley opened
the argument before the jury 70. the
plaintiff. and was followed by Mr. keedy
for the defense In the course of his ar
gument Mr. Keedy said that Mr.. German,
president of the canal, was the head and
front OF the democratic ring, and Mr..
Farrow, while Senator, had no right to
be directly or indiSaetly connected with
a contract on the canal when it was
known that he was connected With sgch
a contract it was but proper TO assume
that his vote was influenced thereby.
MIR. 4 eedy also commented on Mr.. Far
rows vote on the bill authorizing the
publication OF Lhe laws in the newspapers,
and denounced tie iaeasure as "a shame
full theft of TIL, public mGGey under the
forms of law"
Mr., Stockbridge followed for the de-
fense, and confined himself to the law
ard facts of she case, without indulging
in any political dSauDciation or comment.
He maintained that tie publication was
made from good motives, tGat NO wrong
was intended and no malice proved.
Col Douglas closed the case for tha
plaintiff. In commenting upon Mr. Far
rows alleged contract on the canal, Col
Duog,as said that Mr.. Negley had for
twelve or s..ore years held high position,
and supported II administrations from
Grant to Arthur, bu, hat was no reason
that he was corrupted Thereby. no more

The Bonded Spirits Bill investigation.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The Senate
select committee to inquire. # any i'm
proper means have been used To it,ti,,ence
tLe passage of the bonded spirits bill held
session this morning. Mr.. w. ii.
Thomas. st Louisville, Ky, was the only
witness examined. His testimony failed
to show the use any improper influences
to secure legislation upon the bonded
spirits bill, and was mainly directed to
all inquiry into the status of the liquor
interest and the effect of the pending bill
relative to bonded spirits. He gave IA
detailed description of the distillers' bust
ness, mode OF manufacture, putting up,
ETC.. and described the difference between
high wines and distilled liquors. lie had
been at Washington several times i'll be-
half of legislation. but lie had never paid
anybody a single cent, nor had ally sug
gestion of that character escaped him.
He lad visited the members of Congress
from his own State, and submitted to
them points iii favor of the bill. He had
never spoken to Il lobbyist about the
measure. He had received two remit
tances--one of 500 and another Of $500
to pay his expenses and that was all the
money he had during his presence in
Washington,
Mr.. Thomas stated that owing to the
over-productioD wh,&l. was stimulated by
the flush times in 1875. the stock of
whisky now on hand would be Surnient
to meet the demand if no more should be
produced for the next four years: that

LIVING A LITTLE TOO FAST.

II is admitted that nothing but a gen
eEous harvest can save us from a period
of depression, if not from panic. The
gold is slipping back across the Atlantic,
and there is no prospect that it will stop
before we sell our new crops, and there
j. no certainty that it will wholly cease

ESQ last week, and s23, GOO, 600 in gold
has gone back to Europe since the first
~ January. The balance of trade is
against US, and it behooves us to inquire
the cause of the change. A considera-
ton of the question must create Che
conviction that the nation is living little
too fast. Prosperity has begotten reck-
iessness and the people are making their
expenditures on the basis Of the best
possible crops and prices. 1t is strange
that the panic of 1878 did not eradicate
such madness, but the people seem not
to have learned the wisdom of living
'eithin their income and saving something
for a rainy day. The shifting of the bal
aEce of trade is warning it is the part
of wisdom to heed, but it is to be feared

OUR BEST NATIONAL HOLIDAY

The most touching of all our national
festivals occurred on Tuesday last. In
the place of the noisy and passionate
patriotism that used to mingle with the
nobler characteristics of our old Fourth
of July celebrations, there is a higher
and purer eminent than that which for
merly partock largely of wrath against
kindred people, who were steadily and
surely coming to the point of thanking
the God of nations that our ancestors
struck a great blow for all English speak
ing peoples, when they successfully re-
sisted the tyranny of -witted King
and lunatic Minister.
In our Decoration Day ceremonies,
from their beginning, there has been a
total absence of the remaining passions
of great war. Not only was its essen.
tial nature such as to expel all such cle-
ments from its celebration, but even its
symbols wele pacific and gentle. Its
celebrants so to the graves of dead heroes
bearing flowers, and not arms, or Chinese
time when the resurrection of nature
from the frosts of winter is gloriously
completed and attested by the flowers
that are its fragrant poems.
1t was our eX-Confederate brethren
who began iii an unobtrusive way the
annual commemoration of the gallant
soldiers of our great war, but their eN-
ample appealed so instantly to the COM
mon sentiments that are now seen to
have strong hold on all the surviving
soldiers on both sides. that our whole
people, North and South, spontaneously
came, on each recurring anniversary OF
the season of flowers, to unite in CON-
mon, sacred, softening and elevating
sympathies, over the graves Of those who
expiated the accumulated wrongs, preju-
tions. Aud no people ever more uncon-
sciously stood before the world and the
angels of heaven iR 3 IObler, lovelier OF
more hopeful attitude, than our people
have, on these days of tender and pas
sionless homage to the dead. The old
wsarers of the blue and of the gray have
stood lovingly together over the graves
of old comrades and foes, and as they
have stood there they have felt that all
that was really dead and buried wefe the
passions of the war. Not the loveliest
and freshest of the flowers that were
strewn were more living and lovely thar
the comrades and foes vino were gone tc
everlasting life; than the memory of theil
deeds and devotion; than the patriotic
example they left; than the union o
hearts that has followed the establish
ment Of the Union of States and people
a union salctitied and purified by such {
common blood Offering as seems the price
and pledge of thousand years CT nation
al harmony and prosperity.

AMONG other reiinements of which

A PROFESSIONAL HANGMAN

The authorities at Washington seem
determined to have Guiteau'S 5 execution,
which is appointed four weeks from next
Friday, scientifically performed, and
therefore they have asked James Van
llelSe. Of Newark. the New Jersey eX-
pert, who has the reputation of having
performed thirteen executions without a
blunder, to hang the assassin. There art
people, who when they remember Presi-
dent Garfield prolonged agony are ready
to wish that Guiteau may be tortured a.
long as possible on the gallows. and the
Hour this week objects to the protesta-
tions of the press against laundering ex-
ecutionS generally. But the great ma
.jority OF the people believe that the exc
cution OF even such a wretch as Guiteau
should be performed in such a manner
that death will be instantaneous. 1t is
hrutalZin| to needlessly torture the vic
tins of the gallows. There is need of a
skilled executioner. to take the place of
the bluderers at the gallows, and barbar-
Gus executions are SO frequent in many
States that the services of professional
hangman are required to meet them

all the executions in the United States.
