 Court of Common PIeas-Judge Torrance
 The time of the Court of Common Pleas yesterday was consumed by the case of Spen- cer B. Harris vs Voss Neil. The case grew out of difficulties between the colored Bap- tists of Hamden and MT. Harris. The hall which the society had occupied was rented by Mr. Harris. He supposed that the lease included the furniture, which consisted most Y of twelve benches, but on taking posses sion found that six of them had been re- moved by Neil. Thereupon he brought an action of rsrlevin to compel the restoration of the property. Mir. Neil had procured the benches of Clark Peck, paying for them. as it is asserted, $1O down, with an understand ing that by the payment of certain sums in the future the settees should become the property of the society. The case will probably be concluded to-day A decree of foreclosure was granted in the case of Horace H. Strong vs- Elizur G. Norton. Time for redemption first Monday in May. About $500 is in volved.

was the third son of George H.,
and he was doubtless sem to sea by
his royal father in a spirit of spite.
The Duke of Cumberland, younger
brother of George III. had fixed his
hopes upon the office Of Lond High
Admiral Of Eng and but on "a GER
tain occasion, when Admiral keppel
was on trial, Cumberland behaved
in such a manner that the king was
most bitterly incensed and he de-
cIared, in his own thought, that his
brother should never hold the high
est office in a Navy one of the grand
est veterans of which he had out
ragged. 80 he sent his son William
Henry then in his tenth year-to
become a midshipman in the Navy,
bidding him that he should study
hard and strive to excel. Make OF
myself a complete sailor, my son,
and thine uncle Of Cumberland shall
yet look up to thee !" Very likely
the boy-prince donned his sea-going
garb inhigh glee and with glowing an
ticipations; but, when he had become
rated as midshipman on board a fine
frigate, and found himself the young
estmiddy in his mess, he discovered in
"a very short time that nobody cared
about his title. He must rough it

The first tilt in the tournament at Chi
cago came of yesterday, when the Blaine
adherents massed their forces against the
field upon the vote for temporary chair
man of the convention. Though defeated,
and x-COngressman Lynch, a colOred
delegate from the ''shoestring" district of
Mississippi, elected, yet the showing Of
hands, to the large number of 3S7 votes.
including probably some for Logan, in
dicates a greater Blaine strength and a
larger first ballot for him than his OPP
p%onents have heretofore give him credit
for. To any other candidate than Blaine
this large proportion of the strength of
convention would be a harbinger of ulti-
mate success; but with him, nothing short
of a miracle will serve to bridge the chasm
which lies between his first showing and n
majority.
The 49, votes now divided among
Arthur, Edmunds, Sherman and the dark
horses, is the winning vote of the conven-
ton, and is susceptible of combination in
favor of any candidate except Blaine.
The cessation of hostilities until to-
day left the field in such condition last
night that the candidate having in charge
of his forces the best political stratcgists
and manipulators comes to the fray this
morning with the chances in his favor,
Naturally, the administration is strongest
in this respect. The Arthur delegates are
for the most part office holders; they are
working not only for Arthur but for them
selves. Blaine and victory means no
quarter for them, hence from their point
of view it is n life or death struggle, and
their desperation bodies i'll for Blaine, even
though he be the undoubted choice of the
Republican party; just as the non-repres-
e%ntatiye character ofthe convention bodies
i'll for the election of its choice, no matter
who he may be.

There was very little that could be con
sidercd as absolutely thrilling in the pro-
caedings of the Republican convention
at Chicago yesterday. The only matter
worthy of any mention was the selection
of a temporary chairman over the head of
the national committee, contrary to all
p~recedcnts. The elevation of Lynch to
this honor is merely n sop thrown to the
cOlored clement who have lately been
clamOring for recognition. 1t is a cheap
way Of paying of 5000, 900 colored pcO-
pie who have laborcd hard for the party.
Lynch!is an Arthur man MS all Southern
colored Republican people are. They
favor Arthur not because he is Arthur,
but because he typiiics to them the ad-
miuistration. The vote on the subject
can not, however, be considered as a
strict test of strength between Blaine and
Arthur. While to a certain extent it
does represent the following of these
two candidates, yet the delegates in
many instances voted for Clayton
and Lynch Interchangeable, accord
ing to their personal inclinations and
without reference to any other considera-
tions involved. When it m down to
a question of who will be permanent
chairman, Lynch, able though he is, will
be obliged to retire. The Republicans

One of the most remarkable mausoleums in
the cemetery will DO that OF Coils 2. Hunt
ington, the president Of the Central Pacific
road, and one OF the best known of Wall
street magnates. MIR. Huntington, in the
midst Of many duties, has found time TO lay
some curious plans for his grave. He pro
poses to have IA mausoleum OF more massive
proportions than any yet constructed. He
proposes to have the stones Of such immense
weight that no ordinary railroad car can
carry them. The stones are to be brought by
boat as near as possible TO tho cemetery, and
hence transported by rollers over country
roads. Any bridges over which these stones
pass must be strengthened for the purpose.
The most noticeable structure from the rail.
road is that Of Mr.. II. M. Flngler, of the
Standard Oil company. His mausoleum is en-
phnticnlly set on n hill where it cannot be
hid. The late Marshall o. Roberts had a
splendid mausoleum prepared for himself, in
which was displayed the same appreciation
OF art that marked his life. And so, as ono
strolls throughout the walks and drives Of
this city of the dead, the names of thriving,
active men may be seen, men who would
secm TO be too busy to have any time TO think
OF death, too much engrossed in the duties Of
life TO give "A thought to a sa~rcophngus.
Among the names thus noticed in a few
hours stroll were those of Macy, Colgate,
Grinnell, ]. II. V. Arnold, James Flanagan,
the brewer; William A. Wheelock, Kuntze,
Del Monte, HOLSTER, Adrian Iselin, William
IL. Webb, W. A. Booth and others who are
particularly live men. Among the founders
OF the cemetery WHO have choice plots are
Augustus Shell, Caleb b. Kneyals, James ID.

ity, so we are reliably informed, In

to state that the Melrose cotton
mills and the railroad property IN

been ignorant or he wi'fully misrep-

wilful misrepresen tation is ineyita
BILE. This man so ready to traduce
and mislead for political effect,
knows full well that the railroad and
