were approached, says the IrQoeller, were

affairs have been conducted since Mr..
Arthur has occupied the White House.
Some u the leading Republicans said
they witnessed Mr.. Arthur's advent into

cause they thought that he Was little
more than "a Sew York ward politician,

great change, and they now unreseryedly

care was taken not 70 seek interviews
where there was a probability Of hostile

that Mr.. Arthur is working vigorously
for the nomination. Unless he were a

bother themselves to strengthen public

The celebrated ''mule case' was de-
cided in Princess Anne, Nd, last week.
and the people Of Somerset county now
breathe more freely. Squire Warwick
rendered the decision in the presence Of
everybody who could squeeze into his
office. The evidence in the case showed
that Augustus Reid sold the mule % l.. X.
4. Dixon for so, taking In payment two
The note for 800 was to be met
in cash: the other was payable in
goods from Dixon's mill. Dixon took his
mule home and tried TO make him work,
but the long cared beast had made up his
mind not to do anything, and he stuck 10
that resolve with pertinacity. ThereupOn
Dixen entered plea Of value not receiY-
ed. and refused 10 redeem the notes.
Hence the suit. -Four lawyers took hold
Of the case, and there were witnesses pro.
duced to testify that the mule was worth
all the way from nothing downward or up
ward, as their sympathies yibrated be-
tween purchaser and seller. The hearing
occupied the greater part Of two days, the
Squire taking the second day to review
the evidence and the arguments and con-
slider the best way out Of the controversy.
ne finally came 10 the conclusion that the
ends Of Justice would best be served by
awarding the mule TO Reid and requiring
Dixon to pay the costs. The lawyers con-
slider the decision a little irregular, but
the people generally hold that, as the mule
possessed no monetary value, the Squire
would have done violence to those great
principles Of justice which underlie the
very framework Of all Jurisprudence had
he required Dixon to pay anything for the
animal.
