Jesse L. Bartlett v. Everett d. Baker,


Motion to set aside the verdict as against the evi.
aehce aud the law. The testimony tends to show
nat me plaintiff agreed TO sell, and the defend
oay certain personal property and real estate as a
~noie at specified price. A portion OF the con.
tract price was paid down at the same time all the
property was delivered and has since remained in
the possession of the defendant The plaintiff had
an equitable only in the real estate the legal
titie being in third person who also had lien up
on II Tor money loaned. After some negotiation be
tween the parties as to the payment OF the loan
taking the Incumbrance from the land, the plaintiff
asserting that the defendant agreeing to pay, or to
furnish MIN the money TO pay it part of the con-
tract price, W. ch the defendant does admit the
defendant did pay it and took deed from the person
&c, whom 1t Was paid. and in whom the legal
ute. This payment left balance due the plain
TN on the contract price. and for this balance this
action Is brought The verdict is for the of
that balance.
The defendant has never been disturbed in the
possession OF the property, and holds 1t now by a
ute winch he rays is satisfactory to him.
1t does not appear that the thought OF regulating
his contract with the plaintiff until he found he
could get good title by removing the incum5rance
at less price, but it through the contract with
the plaintiff that he has obtained both the real and
the personal property, and no reason is apparent
why he should not pay the price agreed upon.

An Unexpected Result.

The Oregon election resulted in sub
stantial and unexpected Democratic vic
tory, the majority of the Democratic
candidate for governor being about 1 800.
The Republicans pull through their can
didate for Congress by 600, which is less
than third Of his majority two years
ago. The verdict is significant, showing
that there is small hope of capturing the
next Congress. The voting in Oregon
fOrshadOws the result in all Of the Pacific
coast States. There is scarcely doubt
that California will be revolutionized.
In the present House the Democrats have
only one of six representatives from that
state. In the next House the Democrats
will probably have not less than four.
This gain will Offset all that they will
lose as the result Of the Republican ger
rymander in Ohio. In the remainder of
the country the gains and losses will
about offset each other, making the De-
majority Of the Fiftieth Con-
gress in the neighbOrhoOd of 40 as at
present.

American Unpreparedness
For War.

The relations between this country and
Canada in the matter of the fisheries do
not improve with time. NOtwithstan-
ding Secretary Bayard's Pacific assurance
the situation is far from peaceful. Whe n
the schOOners Adams and DOughtry were
seized the secretary was quite confident
there would be no more, because he had
seen the British minister and the latter
had assured him the imperial govern
ment would not sanctum such prOcee d.
ings. Since that time another American
vessel has been seized and searched at
Canso straits. The schooner Joseph StO-
ry was also seized on mere suspicion at
Kelly's Cove. American vessels have
been stopped from buying herring. A
law has been passed authorizing the Ca
madam cruisers to seize any American
vessel they suspect.
The number of these cruisers has been
increased and British men-of-war are
on their way to Canadian waters. Mean
while ii is given out that some of the
American fishermen are arming them

What Causes The Difference.

We have before ms the return Of sales
Of 40 barrels of Irish potatoes shipped by
Mr.. W. II. Crews of this place to Messrs.
W. c. Moore & Co., Of Cincinnati, dealers
in fruits, vegetables and produce, and the
net proceeds foot up $72,95 or nearly two
dollars per barrel. They were shipped
about the 1st Of this month. A shipment
to New Orleans by another party yielded
the shipper 45 cents net per barrel. With
such facts staring them in the face it is
not to be wandered at that our small
farmers are disposed to give New Orleans
the cold shoulder in prOduse traffic, and
seek for market where they can realize
something for the fruits of their labOrs.
Mr.. Crews has been dealing with the firm
of W. c. Moore & Co., this spring and
found them prompt and honorable in
their dealings, and those of our people
having surplus Of garden truck to spare
that will bare shipment may make note
of the above fact aud give the firm a
trial. To be gOuged out of Is per cent of
ones hard labor is too much to be pa
tiently endured. Some difference in the
market value Of produce in different
places is reasonably to be expected and
shippers must anticipate occasional dis
appointment, but it is out of all reason
to believe that with the known rates for
freight charges and telegraphic infOrma-
ton as to prices such difference in sales
can exist as the returns above recorded
would indicate.
There is marked difference also in
freight rates between the two roads hand
ling the potatoes. the charges on the for
ty barrels from this place to New Or
leans 125 miles distant over the Morgan
road, being $40, and from New Orleans to
Cincinnati, 7O4 miles over the North
eastern road, $l5-O5.-Nev Iberia En-

selves. As Mr.. Dawers remarked in tn,
Senate: "There seems to be disposition
on the part OF the Canadian government
to harass and embarrass citizens Of thu
United States engaged in what cannot
but be considered lawful commerce"
Under such circumstances as these,
every day adding to their aggravation
and passions growing hotter, no one can
tell at what moment a collision may Oc-
cur or what trifiing circumstance may
may precipitate an outbreak that will
bring English vessels Of war on the scene
and lead to an attack. In such a case
we are practically helpless. We cannot
defend our own vessels. We cannot even
defend our own cities on the seacoast or
along the great lakes.
Have members Of Congress, particular
ly the older members, stopped to think of
the consequences? Session, year after
year, they have steadily refused to buy
irOnclads or build them, to buy big steel
guns or make them, or to pass any legis-
latiOn looking to the defense of the cOun-
try. They have squandered money in
every other direction. They are ready
to take hundreds of millions ont Of the
peoples pockets for the payment of pen
siOns to million men whose health was
not hurt by their military service, all
the others being already on the pensions
rolls. They can vote to take $77,OOO,OOO
out of the treasury for the purpose of
demOralizing the educational system of
the South and destroying all self-reliante,
They can throw away fifteen millions
of money in alleged river and harbor i'm
prOvements. No scheme is too wild or
demagogical which allows them to get
into the taxpayers pockets by which they
think will manufacture votes for them.
Meanwhile, here we are unable to strike
back If England strikes US. Should that
event occur, as is not improbable, the peO-
pie will hold the members of Congress
responsible. The demagogues
who so recklessly squandered the peoples
money, and who have left the country
unable to defend herself, in that day will
call upon the mountains and rocks to
cover them from the peoples indignation.
They have been notified of their duty
year after year and left it undOne. Now
II the blow should be struck those men,
bers who live along the ocean frontier or
in the lake States will be more cOmforta-
BILE anywhere else than among their own
Canada even would be pre-
lerable, provided they could get there

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Didn't Get Him.

Constable Harvey went down to Frank
lin yesterday morning to get James Ad-
ans, for whose arrest H. NJ. Hanson had
sworn out warrant in Justice Henley
Court, charging grand larceny, in stealing a
purse containing $145 from the complain
ant while they were coming up from Col
linsville on the steamer Tuesday night
Adams was arrested at CORTLAND on Thurs
day, by Constable Marks, of Franklin.
When Harvey arrived at that place yester-
day he learned that Marks had sworn to a
complaint against Adams in a Justice
Court in that township, and desired to have
the examination take place there. A dis
patch was then sent to Chief Dillman, re-
questing that the District Attorney and
witnesses go down to attend it, but the Dis
tTict Attorney responded that the prisoner
should be brought to the city to have a
hearing in the Court where the warrant was
originally sworn out. Constable Harvey
left Franklin and came home before this
response was received, and stated on his ar
rival here that he did not know what Con-
stable Marks proposed to do, as the latter
left him Unexpectedly, and he did not see
him afterwards 1t is understood that the
prisoner admits having taken the
money, but claims that he found the
purse on the deck of the steamer and
thought he had right to use its contents.
He left portion of the money in Court
land, where he left the steamer, and went
to another town, but subsequently return
ing to get his deposit, was arrested. He
had spent about half of the money before
he was caught,

VIII Visit Grass Valley.

The Grass Valley Tidiags has the follow
ing: "a great many admirers of the game
of baseball have frequently, of late, asked
members of the True Blue Baseball Club
why they, said True Blues, did not make
an effort to bring the Atlas of Sacramento
here, so that people might see how the
game is played by professionals. Acting
on the suggestion, the manager of the
Atlas was written to and asked on what
terms that club would come here, and he
replies that on account of the winter
schedule of games, beginning October 3lst,
the Atlas must come to Grass Valley on
the oath of October, if at all. In that case
they must be guaranteed their expenses,
but they could not guarantee return
game with the Blues. The proposition OF
| the Atlas was discussed last night at a
meeting of the Blues. To bring the Atlas
here requires necessarily heavy expense,
and the meeting appointed committee to
canvass the town, and in case success is
met with, or sufficient encouragement Is
given. the full Alta nine, including
| Sweeney, their celebrated Eastern pitcher
| will be brought here. That means that the
| Atlas are to come. BY constant praetlcf
ali next week, the Blues hope TO give
| good account of themselves when thes'
two clubs meet on the diamond.
