hThe Readiustment of Postal Salaries.
Judge Gresham this morning decided that
the law resdjusting the salaries OF Postmasters
ofssthe fourth class went into effect on the pas
sage OF the act, namely, March 3. This decis-
ion has created CONSERVATION in the Post Office
Department and will involve an endless
amount OF labor before II is satisfactorily set
tied. Some 24,000 post offices are involved,
and by the increased salaries between two and
four thousand officers will be made "presden-
tial," The act of March provided for the
readiustment Of salaries in first, second and
third class offices on October ! next, but did
not specify the date in the case of similar Of
fees
The Civil Service Rules.

ternoon the civil service regulations were fur

A Speculative Scheme.
1t Is reported here that number Of specula-
tors are organizing company for the purpose
of buying up the rebate certificates OF small
tobacco dealers who are anxious TO realize up
on their claims before Congress makes an ap-
propriation 10 pay them. As many OF the
small dealers are very anxious to obtain the
money upon their claims, a company of this
kind would undoubtedly realize large profits
should their plan be successful. But it Is a
well-known fact that Congress has always
shown great deal Of reluctance to appropri-
ate money to pay claims that have passed out
of the hands of the original owners, and it il
believed that II dealers hold their claims them
selves until Congress meets the prospects for a
settlement will be greatly enhanced.

An Interesting Decision.

SAN Francisco, May 5.-United States
Judge Sawyer has rendered a decision in the
case Of j. G.. Eastand ct al. v. James f.
Dwight ct al. of Massachusetts,. The plaintiffs,
ID was alleged, were entitled to certain person
al property in the house on the ground of the
late Milton s. Latham at Menlo Park, valued
at $25, ,000.. The defendants claimed the prop
erty was real and not personal. Judge Sawyer
said that the case was tho most difficult that
he had ever been called upon to decide. The
substance of the decision is that the articles in
the residence arc permanently attached TO the
premises, so that their removal would result
In an injury TO the realty, but that statues and
other ornaments being only connected TO the
ground by their own weight arc personal and
can be removed withont injury to the realty.
