THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.

ExERTs MORE INFLUENCE THAN EVER BEFORE.
Seymour True Republican.
The Indianapolis Journal still maintains
its pre-emlnence as an advocate of the purest
Republicanism, and as the especial guide
and authority of political matters of our
State. Under its present management the
Journal reaches more firesides and exerts
more influence than ever before, and the
constant growth of both daily and weekly
attests a reel procity of reader and writer OF
which few papers can boast. No Republican
who is DESTROYS of keeping up with the
events of the day can afford to do without
the indianapolis Journal. The present Leg
islature is an intensely interesting one, and
the Journals careful compilation Of the
work of that BODY given from day to day Is
well worth years subscri ption to the paper,
We hope our readers will extend to the
Journal the patronage it so richly deserves,

TELEGRAPH LITIGATION.
The Western Union Victorious in Its Suit
with the Bucket Shops.

CHICAGO, Feb. Judge Moran, of tho
Circuit Court to-day rendered an elaborate
opinion in the case of Nohe VS., the Western
Union Telegraph Company and the Board of
Trade. Nohe is the proprietor of a bucket
shop and filed his bill to enjoin the tele-
graph company from removing its tickers
from his establishment and from withhold
ing the market quotations as they exist on
the Board of Trade He also sought to en-
join the Board of Trade from enforcing its
rule against furnishing information and
quotations to such establishments The opin-
ion sustains the right of the telegraph COM
pany to withhold the market quotations on
the ground of the immortality and illegality
of the business in which the complainant
was engaged
This was a test case, the attorneys Of all the
bucket shops taking part in the argument.
The case of the Mutual Union Company VS..
The Western Union, to compel the latter to
receive and transmit messages collected from
is patrons to points not reached by the
Mutual lines, and to prevent the Western
Union from discriminating in the matter of
charges against night messages offered by the
Mutual Union, or messages transferred at
Intermediate points Tor transmission over
Western Union lines, was also decided by
Judge Moran. The court held that the
Western Union was not compelled to trans
nit night messages at reduced rates for the
Mutual Union; that the extra charge on the
transferred messages from Mutual Union
lines was reasonable and proper
The court also decided that senders OF tee-
graph messages had the right to employ a
boy OF the Mutual Union Company in send
ing the messages from their own offices to
the Western Union, but that the Western
Union Company is not obliged to receive
such messages written OH blanks Of the
Mutual Union Company. The order will be
settled hereafter

MEMBERS of the Bnai Israel congregation
of Pittsburg will be careful hereafter to men
ton the sacred persons composing the choir
OF that church only in terms of the greatest
respect. Mr.. Shemberg is described as the
gentleman who "composes the choir," which
somewhat ambiguous language leaves the
reader in doubt as to whether Mr.. Shemberg
is himself the soprano, the tenor and the
first bass in one harmonious whole, whether
he acts simply as peacemaker and maintains at
least an armed neutrality between the warning
musicians, or whether his Office is to provide
other singers to fill the breach after the fort
nightly disntegration of the choir. At all
events Mr.. Shemberg is an important person
age, and one whose character is not to be
trified with. Mr.. Rapport who was only a
member OF the congregation instead OF the
choir, and of proportionately little influence,
forgot himself so far as TO complain that Mr..
Shemberg was accustomed to place his hand
affectionatey upon the shoulder of Mrs.
Rapport. This scandalous charge coming to
the ears of Shemberg, that outraged person
at once appealed to the con-
gregation for protection. Mr.. Rapport
was summoned, and failed to substantiate
his previous assertion, that the hand laid
upon Mrs Rapport's shoulder indicated af-
fectionate sentiments on the part of its
owner. The gentleman composing the
choir" having declared emphatically that he
entertained none but the most honorable
sentiments toward the lady III question, the
congregation at once decided to vindicate
the aggrieved Shemberg's virtue. and there
FORE by large majority, suspended Mr..
Rapport for q term OF ninety-nine years.
The excluded member, in his enforced re-
tirement, may congratulate himself that his
sentence of Punishment was not for $50 or
200 years, as might have been the case had
he seen the choral arm around Mrs. Rap
ports waist He can also draw comfort
from the reflection that at the end of ninety
nine years Mr.. Shemberg will be in the
heavenly choir, and Mrs, Rapport's shoulders
free from danger.

The assertion that Adelina Patti is an
American is disputed by the Saturday Re-
view. Patti was born at sea on her way to
America. She was reared and educated in
New York and there received her entire
musical training, and is in fact and practical
Iv as good an American as if born on shore
instead of before landing. Her first instruct
or in music was Frederick Hensler, cele-
brated teacher and a leader of the opera
chorus in New York. Many of PATHS rela-
tives are settled in New York One of her
married sisters was for years the soprano of
st. Stephens Church. Adelina was grown
woman and a full fedged prima donna when
she left New York for Europe. She left in
the spring of 1865, the spring that Lee sur
rendered and Lincoln was shot, She had
then been famous for years i'll great roles, in
Norma, Sonnambua, and so On. She used
in her earlier years to be called THE Divine
Child" She was always on the stage
Middle-aged opera-goers about New York
still have in their collections plenty
of old photos of Patti, tall, slim, dark girl
in various old-fashioned stage costumes
When she departed for Europe it was said
generally that she would never come back
such great fame and success were forseen in
her career abroad, life of more than regal
splendor and magnihcence was predicted for
her in foreigNcapitals. In Europe she was
known at first as "The American" Her
behavior was commented on as distinctly
American. Amercan-like, she oondescended
to know only select circle of the highest
grade She never became acquainted with
people OF low grade around the theaters or
elsewhere and while still young married
marquis. One of her married sisters and
that sisters husband were her constant COM
panions. How quickly personal history is
forgotten. Patti must have spent more than
half of her life here, yet on her return last
year the new generation thought she was a
