BALTIMORE, December Sd, 1884,
Editors Union We are now in the closing
month of the year and rapidly approaching the
Christmas holidays. You can see signs of their
coming in the bright eyes and rosy cheeks and
other surroundings. There have been some slight
SHOWS, though quite pleasant season has favored
us, barring some drizzling rains and occasional
sunshine with frosts and moderate cold. 1t is
now bright, clear and sunshiny, though there are
many who predict cold and snow in abundance
before many days. Well, we are not far from the
period for winter so lot it come. AS q general
thing business of every kind is very dull but this,
until the new year begins, is the season for dull
ness and light trade. People are preparing for a
closing up of trade. The hope is it will be far
better when people get fully settled down in poll
tics and take the new state of affairs ns they find
it. My hope and expectation is that matters will
move along pleasantly. There is no use in re-
GREETING over spilled milk. Let us be friends
come what may. The world is wide and plenty
of time before us. 1t is quite possible that many
Republicans will prosper, in this sense, under Mr..
Cleveland and liberal Democratic rule as they
would have done under Mr.. Blaine. Those of
them--to certain entent enjoying ofice-might
have been turned out at any rate to have allowed
his personal favorites to commanding positions,
and in turn they feeling necessitated to favor or
put in their special friends. Thus the whole
State of Maryland and Baltimore would have been
under new rule, somewhat opposed to those now
in power though of the same party. 1t is known
that Mr.. Cleveland is liberal. very much in favor
of the Civil Service Reform and opposed to sud-
den change in Office where good men are found in
position. This he will give attention to particu-
larry during his first term, and therefore not be
likely to make many changes-except in high,
commanding positions--until he sees how the
thing works. 1t is questionable, therefore, if
there be many more changes of ofice-holders un-
der him the first four years than there would have
been under Mr.. Blaine. He (Mr. Clcveland)
knows that the Republican party is a numerous
and influential party in our country, and that its
power is among the most solid men Of our whole
nation, especially in rural districts. He will not,
therefore, turn cold shoulder upon it, as at the
late election he was elected only by the "skin of

Ng~The deficiency in the Postoiice Depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1884, is
considerably less than was expected when the re-
ducton in postage from three to two cents was
contemplated. The Postmaster Generals report
shows that the deficiency is five millions. The
actual loss of revenue owing to the change of rate
is something over six millions, while decrease
Of eight millions gas anticipated. Owing to the
reduction more letters and fewer postal cards and
unseaed circulars have been sent. This was
counted on. The most important recommended
tons in the report favor an increase of weight to
one ounce for all letters, the reduction of local
postage on letters by carriers to one cent, and a
special ratio ten cents) for city letters that the
writer wishes sent with especial promptness. Mr..
Hatton thinks these reforms could be properly
made soon.

MONEY ADVANCED FOR GRAIN aAMB-
LING CAN'T BE RECOVERED.
Hagersto,un (Md.) Herald.


An important case, which should have tend
ency to lessen the number of spectators in grain
which has SO largely increased in the past year
in this county, as well as elsewhere, was made by
Judge Syester, in the Circuit Court for this county
on Saturday last. 1t was the first case of the
kind in this State and but few cases like it have
been decided elsewhere, the decisions in those
cases being conflicting.
1t suit brought by VIM. F. Cunningham
against Samuel M. Bayard upon promissory
note for $3.50. The note was given to make good
a margin on "corn DEAL" In September 1882,
Cunningham, as an agent soliciting business for
Wolvington, Carr & Co., of Baltimore, persuaded
Bayard to sell 5000 bushels of May corn and put
up $3.50 as margin. In October following he
came to Bayard for more margin for the Balti-
more firm anG Bayard gave him his note for $3.50.
Cunningham claimed that the note was given
to him and he, at Bayard's request, agreed to ad-
vance the money to the Baltimore firm upon the
"option DEAL" Bayard, on the other hand said
the note was written by Cunningham, as he sup
posed, for the firm.
Judge Syester, in ruling on the prayers, deci-
ded that the transaction as testified to was an
illegal or gaming TRANSACTIONS wager upon the
difference in the contract price and the market
price at certain time and that, as Mr.. Cunning
ham, who went between the defendant and the
Baltimore firm, knew all the facts and took the
note to keep up the transaction, this knowledge OF
the transaction vitiated the note in his hands,
destroyed its consideration which he bad taken
for margins and he could not recover ON it. The
jury accordingly rendered verdict for the de-
PENDANT Messrs. III. Kyd Douglas and Chas A.
Little were counsel for the plaintiff and Messrs.
Louis E. and F. F. McComas for the defendant.

@-In the United States Supreme Court an
important decision has just been rendered in the
liability of common carriers. The plaintiff in the
case shipped by the Pennsylvania Railroad five
horses and other property in one car after signing
q bill of lading IN which the company assumed
liability for the horses not exceeding two hundred
dollars each, and for chartered car twelve hun
dred dollars on the stock and contents OF the
same. By negligence of the company one of the
horses was killed and the others were injured and
the other property in the car was lost In the
suit it appears that the borses were race-horSes,
and the plaintiff offered to show damages based on
their value amounting to twenty-five thousand
dollars. The testimony was excluded, and the
plaintiff had verdict for twelve hundred dollars.
The court held that the contract signed by the
shipper was fairly made on the valuation Of the
property carried, and that the carrier was there
fore liable only to the agreed valuation in the bill
of ladine

MS-The Democratic judges and clerks of cleo
tion in one of the Chicago Legislative districts,
who tried to swindle Republican State Senator
out of his election by altering the returns and
changing the tickets which had been voted, have
all been indicted by the U. S. Grand Jury. The
object of these scoundrels was to count in the
Democratic candidate in order to give their party
a majority in the Legislative which elects U. 5.
Senator, but their nefarious scheme was brought
to light in time to break it up. In the Legisla-
ture now there is tie and it will be impossible
to elect Senator, the Governor of the State, who
is Republican, will appoint successor to Gen.
Logan, and we have no doubt that it is the wish
of every Republican in the country that Senator
Logan shall be his own successor.

G1-It is said, says Boston paper, that Burns
famous song, "COmin' Through the Rye" did not
have reference to rye field, but to the small river
Rye, in Ayrshire, which could be forded. In
wading over, however, the lassies had to hold up
their petticoats and it was fayorite pastime for
Robbie Burns and mischievous companions to lie
in wait for the lasses "comin' through the Rye"
When they got to mid-stream the "laddies" would
wade out and snatch kiss from the Classics" who
were unable to resist without dropping their
