An,mus of the Proceedings.
BALTIMORE, May 20.+The case ofWill-
lam @. West against Senator johnson N.
Camden, on trial in the United States Cir
cult Court for several days past, was yes
terday terminated by the Jury returning
averdict for the defendant under instruc-
tion OF the court. Mr.. West claimed that
Mr.. Camden-had indnced him to sell out
his business as an oil retiner under prom
ise that he would be made permanent
officer Of THE United Oil Company, q
branch Of the Standard Oil Company, at
a salary Of not less than 5000 per annum,
and guaranteeing forty percent dividends
upon the stock heldby him in the United
Oil Company. The court granted the
fret and seventh prayers OF the defendant,
that such contract was against public
policy, in that itinluenced stockholders to
vote d certain way. The court was divided
upon the third prayer OF the defendant,
Judge Bond holding that the contract was
within the meaning of the Statute Of
Frauds, which provides that a contract
not to be executed within year must be
IN writing. Mr.. Vests alleged contract
was yer al one. Judge Morris dissented
from this view.
All the plaintiffs prayers were rejected.
Instead Of taking non-suit, counsel for
for Mr.. West allowed averdict for the de-
iendant. They intend taking the case to
the United States Supreme Court. Messrs.
S. Treacle Wallis and e. Calvin Williams
for plaintiff; Marshall and Hall for defend.

Morrison Said to Have ,he inside Track on

WASHINGTON, May 20.-lt is pretty we'll
understood among Illinois Democrats that
Representative Morrison is to be regarded
by the administration in the light OF a
senator:elect when any patronage is to be
given QUITO the members Of the party in
that State, tllati is, he isto have tho lions
share in everything. Tnis is be-
cause he is looked upon as the
foremost man Of his party in
Illinois, having been the nominee Of the
Democracy in the Senatorial contest, aud
besides, for many years occupying con-
spicuous place in the halls Of Congress.
10 show that his recommendations are
not without avail, and that his drafts upon
the White House wi be honored without
much trouble, 1t may be said that the ap-
pointment OF Corning Judd as postmaster
at Chicago was due whollyto his efforts.
In fact the two Democratic Congress.
men from Chicago had recommended
another man, and knew nothing Of Judd's
candidacy, or that Morrison was pressing
any ones claims until the appointment
was anuouncedil the newspapers. All
the Illinois Democrats intoYp recognise
Morrison's supremacy in matters affecting
tho distribution Of patronage in that

BesycS, MASS, May 2o.-At the opening
Of the court this morning Judge Allen de-

case. He reviewed every act Of cruelty
alleged, and said such Of them as might

nitted subsequent to this combination
we're either not proven or not of a
nature to warrant a divorce. In regard to
the charge Of gross and confirmed habits
Of drunkenness the court held that while
the defendant undoubtedly drank toex-
cess his habit could not be called gross
and confirmed. /, II had not been shown
that the habit had been contracted after
marriage. The Judge remarked that had

things, inclnding her inability to remem.

that the shackamaxon Bank had closed
It's doors, its accounts having been over
drawn to the amount Of 100000. In a
very short time a great, excited, noiSy,
anxious, angry throng gathered about the
institution. The bank had alarge num-
Der Of depositors. Not only the largest
carpet manufacturers were customers, but
also butchers and droyers, and all the
small shop keepers fora mile around. The
late VIM. Bumm, salt importer, who was
a leading politician, and who tor
years represented the Eighteenth
ward in Select Council, was the origi-
nator OF this bank, which was
opened about 10 years ago. Ever since
Ills death, a little less than a year ago, the
affairs OF the institution have been the
subject Of watchful concern on the part
OF the officers Of the Philadelphia clear
ing house, and more especially OF D. B.
Cammins, President OF the bank, which
institution made all collections for the in-
solvent bank. Mr.. Bumm practically

Tho Thrunt Of nm Iriah Pike.

/ LONDON, May 2o.-There is an angry
split in the ranks OF the Irish party. A
pamphlet recently appeared under the
title Of "Thrust Of an Irish Pike" bitterly
assailing the Parnellites, accusing them Of
false pretences, peouniary motives aud
practical collision with the British Gov.
ernment. The Irish press was described
as aringof blood relations and paid agents.
Mr.. Parnell is accused OF receiving q large
sum from Earl Spencer, his whole policy
described as Whiggery disguise under the
Nationalist name, and Parnell is called q
converted Catiline. OF course much is
made Of this by Irish Tory papers,
but it- appears to be the outcome
Of personal grievances against the
Nationalist, therefore the authorship is
attributed to o. Donnell, the member for
Dungaryen, because Of the recent quarrel
over Nationalists' secession, and from
strong internal evidence, but o'Donnell
asserts he has no part init, and adds:
"Though have not concealed my opin-
ion Of the selfish, interruptions character
of some Of the Parnellite wire-pullers,
some just tribute should be paid to his
Mr.. Parnells) unquestionable patriotism
and hard work" The vast majority of the
Parnellites refuse TO believe that O'Don-
nell Is not responsible for the pamphlet.
