A $4,000 CALF CASE.

The lawsuit known us the -''Jones
County calf case" has been conclud-
ed in the Circuit Court in this city.
1t was an action brought by Robert
johnson against E. V. Miller and
six other defendants for $40, 200, for
malicious prosecution. Eleven years
ago John Foreman, of Jones County,
Iowa, had four calves stolen, and
about the same time Robert johnson,
a neighboring farmer, bought some
calves for S. d. Potter, of Green
County. These calves proved to be
the ones stolen from. Foreman.
johnson was prosecuted by the Anti
Horse Thief Association of Jones
County for the theft of the calves.
He was tried twice and acquitted
and in 1877 brought suit against
seven members of the association for
malicious prosecution, alleging that
they did not have probable cause for
commencing the action. The case
has been before the courts ever
since, and it has been tried five
times-once at Clinton, once at Vim
ton and once at Waterloo: and each
time except one the plaintiff receiv-
ed verdict running from $4,000 to
1900, but each time the verdict
has been set aside. The jury in this
case have awarded $1,000. The
costs, attorneys fees and expenses
entailed upon all parties to the litiga-
ton growing out of the theft of the
calves is estimated at over $50, OOC
and several prosperous farmers have
been rendered bankrupt, while the
calves in the first place were mo-
worth over $50 Waterloo (Iowa,,

THE DRAINAGE CASE DECISION.

The decision of the Superior Court, that
the Act authorizing the payment of the
drainage claims is constitutional and
must be obeyed, is sound. The pith of the
decision is that where the State, by leg
isIative act, bearing all the earmarks of
regularly and properly passed bill, on its
face appearing to be a law, authorizes one
to act in given way Involving expendi-
ture of means, and accepts the results of
such action, it is not in the mouth of the
States officers thereafter to say that an
Act of the Legislature authorizing re-
endorsement of the party SO invited to
action is ineffective, because the original
Act by which the party was led into the
expense was unconstitutional. While an
Act may be unconstitutional, yet if it APP
pears on its face to be law, and its viola
ton of the Constitution is not "abrupt and
readily perceived" thu contracting party
should be justified in acting under it as if il
were constitutional. When the Constitu-
ton declares that no claims shall be paid
unless contracted by express authority
of law, it means "law" as generally de-
fined and understood by the people;
THAT is, statute solemnly and in due form
passed, approved, and promulgated by the
State. The subiect-matter treated was not
.outside the general scope of legislative
power, nor such fragrant abuse of author
.ity "as to awaken the suspicion Of plain
people" The Court holds that the Act
to pay the claims is an effort by the State
to do what every honorable man would
strive to do in private life under like cir
'eumstances. In commenting upon these
.claims some days ago, the San Francisco
Chronicle remarked that the contractors
had charged enough to make them even"
in case they failed to receive payment.
This marvellous statement is worthy pre-
.seryation as literary curiosity. 1t
ignores the fact that the States Commits
ssion had all to say as to what should be
enlarged, and that the Commissioners were
men whose integrity 10 man impeaches or
for an instant doubts How any amount
of exorbitant charging" could compen-
ssate a contractor for non-payment of his
claim is a puzzle that may well be left to
Ithe Chronicle to solve As matter Of
pure and simple justice, the men should be
paid. The State employed them, fixed the
terms, dictated the plans Of the work, ac-
cepted the results, and in honor must keep
its contract.

RAILROAD DULLyEss IN ENGLAND.-It is
not our American railroads only that are
feeling poor these days The Commercial
Bulletin calls attention to the fact that the
traffic receipts of sixteen of the principal
railroads of Great Britain for the past six
months show Il falling off, as compared
with the same period of last year, of $500
600. or s., 600,0 GOO. This falling off is chiefly
in the earnings from the goods freight
traffic, and is largest in the case of the So
called iron and coal roads, but there has
too. at is clear from all this. remarks
the Bulletin, IS that semi-annual dividends
on the part of the British companies will be
quite as attenuated, ifnotquite as impercept-
ible, as those to which shareholders have
been compelled to submit on this side Of
the Atlantic 1t is believed, however
that things are now on the mending hand.

As the RECoRD-UNoS originally sug-
fgested the idea of placing some permanent
memorial of General Grant in the Capitol
Or ITS grounds in this city, and the sugges-
ton having met with general approval. it
now takes the liberty to invite
consideration to the proposition to
make the Memorial Exercises Com
mittee, consisting Of nine reliable citizens.
a standing committee upon the subject to
receive contributions, and put them into
safe keeping, and possibly where they will
earn something until sufficient is accumu-
lated for the purpose indicated On the
day of the memorial exercises that COM
mittee will undoubtedly, if it will consent
to act, receive very considerable contribu-
tons from the people assembled. We
suggest to the committee the propricty of
inviting public consideration of the sub
iect in a meeting to be called by them. | t
IS entirely feasible to have either monu-
ment or a statue in honor of the memory
Of the hero of the age, that will be a ere
dit to the city and the patriotism of this
people The end can be accomplished
with not less than $1,000. OF course ten
times that amount could be expended in
statuary. But modest sum will give us
very handsome monument, or a very
creditabic work of statuary art, and long
before the work could I've executed the
money can be raised. When we can afford
to expend a thousand dollars for single
nights scenic display and pyrotechnic ex-
hibition, we can surely raise FIVE or six
times the amount for a statue or monu-
ment that shall testify to our patriotism
and gratitude, and be an ornament to the
city Now is the time to begin the work;
not day later.

A night-blooming cereus is blooming in

Portland. The bud begins to open at s
o'clock in the evening and at midnight has
fully expanded into a large and beautiful
flower which loads the air with perfume.
Then it begins to fade and by daylight
hangs wilted and closed on its stem. The
flower consists of several whorls of white
waxen petals, about four inches in length,
surrounding large number of stamens the
ends of which curve upward, and from the
center projects a long pistil with singular
star-shaped stigma. The sepals are eight
and ten in number and curl back as the
flower expands The blossom can almost
be seen to grow, so rapid is its expansion,
and when fully grown it will comfortably
ill the inside of common lampshade.
