CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 2O.-An Asso-
Ciated Press dispatch this afternoon from
Ruda Pesth, Hungary, announced that
Mr.. Joseph Black, United States Consul
to the city had been recalled by the
United States government. Mr.. Black
is resident Of Cleveland, Ohio,
and although he is a Republican,
was appointed consul by the present
administration. II appears that he
wrote letter to New York Hungarian
paper, In which he advocated a protec-
tive tariff and argued agninst free trade.
This letter came to the ears and eyes OF
Edmund Jussen, American Consul Cen
eral at Vienna, who wrote Mr..
his newspaper article, Mr.. Black
said: "And In case the cable should
bring the nCws that Mr.. Grover Cleve-
land is reelected, all industrial regions
Of Europy will be jubilant. You see,
therefore, that numerous people will be
made happo II the American people de.
eide in favor OF tariff reform on the 9th
Of November, etc"
Concerning this passage, Jussen said
To Black In his letter OF censure: "You
will permit inc TO tell you that this pas
sage, coming from you as an appointee
aud subordinate officer Of Pres
ident Cleveland, Is inCompar:
ably more Objectionable and
an exhibition OF infinitely worse
taste than the sackville.West etfusion.

officers iS enforced by tho written and
unwritten laws OF every civilized coun.
try, and II is not only execrable taste but
downright violation Of all rules OF de-
Cency for q subordinate officer 10 pub.
liCly critiCise the policy OF his superior,
and TO characterize us dangerous to the
interests Of the country"
Black made cool reply and then sent q
statement 10 Secretary Of State Bayard
In which he said in part: ~ am quito
content 10 let YOU Judge oi the tone,
tenor, and language used In MIR,
Jussen's communication. II is my
opinion u tame, harmless trust that you
will kindly have II translated BY q com,

The general term Of tho Supreme
Court has decided OH appeal that Mr..
ArbuCkle must pay up the $4,000 TO
Miss Campbell. Judge MaComber writes
tho opinion and Judge Brady conCurs.
Presiding Justice Van Brunt diSsents.
Judge MaComber makes some interest
ing remarks. There is no doubt, he
says, that the millionaire proposed and
was accepted and the breach OF contract
Is satisfactorily proven. II be intended
10 marry her at all after June 4, 1883, 1t
was incumbent on him 10 name the day.
II was right 10 let the jury decide
whether AFbnCkle's letter Of November
4, 1883, contained dlshonorable pro.
uoBal or was a mere piece OF Vulgarity.
Judge MaConber says:
"There are many things In tho case
which show areyengeiul or wanton spirit
on tho part Of tho defendant toward
the plaintiff and the Jury would have
been Justified IN finding that the failure
Of the defendant 10 carry out tho contract
was done In such want0n disregard Of the
feelings Of the plaintiff rs 10 Justify them
III giving exemplary damages. Yet II is
manifest that they have confined their
verdict 10 actual damages only and
those, TOO, based upon rather economical
application Of tho rule OF damages In
this class OF cases. The verdict was only
Al peF cent for one year on the estate Of
t6o deiendent, as h6 admitted II 10 be.
This cannot DO deemed excessive and al.
iords some evidence that the Jury was
not influenced by any desire 10 punish
the defendant for bis failure 10 carry out
the contract"
Judge Van Brunt holds that the trial
Judge erred In not explaining 10 the Jury
thedilTerenCe between compensatory and
nunitofy damages. He thinks also that
II was mistake 10 give the Jury 70 un.
derstAnd that they were tho sole judges
