Tilden closed the will with a remarkable IN
iunctiou Most of the devisees or legatees
under it were females, and Mr.. Tilden was
apprehensive of the influences under which
some of them might be brought. So he de-
clared 1t to be his will that any person, who
would be an heir to his estate were there no
will, and who should consent to any proceed
ings against it, should be excluded from any
participation in its benefits. Good lawyers,
however, gave the advice that there would
be no danger to contestant in this pro-
vision, since it had been decided that no per-
son can forfeit what he would possess by
seeking to establish rights that he believes
he may possess under the law. This embold-
ened George II. 1ilden. a nephew, and he
brought suit to break the win, on the ground
that the clause establishing the trust for the
public benefit is in its terms too vague and
indefinite. The case has been tried and
argued, but the decision may not be reached
for some time.

When the persons he seeks to benefit re-
fuse his bounty with scorn it is time for a
man to cease being philanthropist towards
those particular persons. Senator Blair,
however, does not seem to think so. The
Southern Senators have declared that the
ex-Confederate soldiers do not desire any
aid from the government in the way he pro-
poses or IN any other way, but still Mr..
Blair insists on pressing his bill to give
wounded Confederates preference in APP

When the Legislature changed the law in
relation to the removal Of the marshal or
deputy marshals of the city of Portland it
did so with view Of promoting the efficien-
cy OF the public service. Experience had
shown that the old law under which mar
shall or deputy could be removed only after
trial and conviction by the board of alder
men of specific offence tended to make i'm
possible proper regulation and supervision
Of that service. The new law did not con-
template that the Mayor should make known
to the public, or even to the official removed,
the ground of the removal Mayor Chap
man in removing Deputy Marshal Black
was under no obligation, therefore, to assign
reasons either to that official or to the pub
lie. If in his opinion the removal would pro-
mote the efficiency of the service, that was
enough to justify his action. AS a matter of
fact he has assigned reason, namely, lack
of harmony between the deputy and his
chief That reason was a sufficient one for
the action which he took. Whether Mr..
Black is personally an efficient officer or not !;
whether he has done good work in the past
or not does not affect in the least the validity
OF 1t. If for any cause he could not work in
harmony with his chief it would obviously
have been detrimental to the efficiency of the
service to continue him in office. The reIa-
tions between the Offices of marshal and
deputy marshal are to a large degree conf.
Dental, and therefore it is necessary that the
persons holding them should be in harmony
Mayor Chapman found that this harmonious
relation did not exist, and it was his duty to
apply remedy. He applied the one which
to him seemed best, and his reputation for
sound judgment is pretty good guaranty
that he chose the proper one. 1t was I'M
doubleday unpleasant to be obliged TO re-
move an officer who had been IA long time on
the force, but it was his duty, and it is to his
credit that he waived personal considera-
tions and promptly performed it.

The famous will case just tried in the
courts of New York emphasizes the fact that
however carefully rich man may dispose of
his property, he can never be sure that he
has put it beyond the reach Of litigation.
Samuel j. Tilden did not know enough
either Of law or craftsmanship to make
VIII strong enough to quiet dissatisfied heirs,
though he combined liberality to his rela-
tives and the public so wisely that the public
will probably be altogether on the side of the
will. Mr. Tilden was bachelor, and there
fore did not have to consider the claims of
family of his own. To such relatives as he
did have he left legacies amounting to a mil
lion and half of dollars, the greater part of
which was to be divided into annuities to be
paid to the benefciaries during their life
time, the principal ultimately being added TO
a great trust fund which ne intended to
form of the rest of his property. This trust
fund was to aggregate at the start three mil
lion and half Of dollars. and was to be used
for public purposes at the discretion of the
executors. To prevent all litigation Mr..

Inductiye telegraphing from a moving
train, which few months ago wa, heralded
as wonderful experiment, was practically
demonstrated to be very useful one also,
in the recent storm. The New Jersey divis-
ion of the Lehigh Valley railroad is for
sixty miles equipped with a steel wire
strung on polls sixteen feet high and eight
feet distant from the track The trains are
equipped with the apparatus necessary to
Influence this wire for the purposes of tcle-
graphing. While all the ordinary telegraph
wires were down in every direction and all
New York was showed up, on this division
of the Lehigh road communications were
kept up between the central Office and all
passenger and relief trains, whether they,
were moving or standing. No occasion
could have been better to demonstrate the
practeability and advantages of the system.

1t is limited in Kentucky that the reason
why Buckner, now Democratic Governor Of
Kentucky, did not accept the challenge of
his opponent Bradley to debate the manage
ment of State affairs by the Democratic
party last summer, was that the managers of
the party knew there was something wrong
at Frankfort. The defalcation of the State
Treasurer is very conclusive evidence that
something was wrong; and the enormous
amount stolen, something like quarter Of a
million dollars, is certainly sufficient to af-
ford the suspicion that the Democratic lead
ers may have had fears that something was
wrong when they declined the Republican
invitation. Democratic majorlties in Ken
lucky have been decreasing very constantly
and very rapidly of late, and an investigation
OF the State Treasurer's office might have
been a very awkward issue in the last cam
paign. AS it was the Democratic losses
were remarkably heavy.
