Mr.. j. II. McQuilken, of Snyder's
Mill, (Opequon District,) returned
this week from a visit of several
weeks to his sister and other friends
in Illinois. He is much pleased with
that country,-rich farming land,
fine city buildings, land improvements
in every way. Land sells from $50 to
500 an acre. Timber is limited to
hickory, buckeye, &C., and in conse-
quence wire and hedge take the place
of rail fences. Stones are scarce
hardly enough to throw at the birds,
and in consequence the roads become
very muddy in wet seasons.

The United States Court adjourned
last Saturday evening, after disposing
of a number of cases. A number
more remain for another term, PEN
sion cases, and the finishing touches
to the election indictments. All of
the election indictments tried at this
term resulted in verdicts of not guilty,
except the State VS.. M. V. B. Green.
The following business was transact
ed: US. VS.. Chas. Kidwell, cleo
ton, trial by jury, verdict not guilty;
U. S. VS.. John Frazier, same offense
and result {; U. S. VS.. Nelson Page,
same offence and result; U. s. VS.. j.
Matthias, violation of Internal Re-
venue Laws, guilty, fined $500; U. S.
vs.. Newton Walker, perjury, trial by
Court, verdict not guilty. The cases
against the Harper's Ferry Commits
sioners of election were continued un.
til the next term of the Court. The
trial of Mr.. NJ. V. B. Green consumed
several days and created considerable
interest. He was charged with trying
to vote two men illegally. The
swearing was conflicting. He was
convicted and fined 500 and costs
which was promptly paid. Mr.. Flick
for the defendant and the U. S. At
torney for the State. The only point
against Mr.. Green was that after the
Commissioners had rejected the votes
of the two men here. he hauled them
out to Dry Run; but the defense
claimed that he hauled them out be-
cause they claimed that as their voting
place. 1t is said that ten of the jurors
were for acquittal. If reports and
rumors are correct, certain Demo.
cratic worker "blowed" that he voted
the same two men after their votes
had been rejected when brought up
by the Republicans. Time may tell.

WHAT FRANCE NEEDS.

Unless some man with strong right arm,
stout heart and balanced brain, who will
put his country above himself, her interests
above his own, shall arise within her coun-
ellis, France, the Republic, will fall before
many more months have flown. Whether
France will fall victim to Boulanger's s
ambition or merely crumble into ruin amid
the wars of partisans, is a question time
alone can answer. 1t is certain, however,
that Frances need for patriot strong enough
to be her savior has never been greater than
it is to-day.
1t is very hard to understand how the
Floquet Ministry came so suddenly upon
defeat yesterday. The assertion that NJ
Floquet himself expected to be beaten on
the question Of a revision of the constitution,
and saw in such defeat safe way out of
his embarrassment, must be taken with a
grain of salt after the event. Probably NJ.
Floquet was as much surprised as his oppo-
nents were, and that the latter did not ex-
pect a victory is plainly shown by their
failure to follow it up.
1t was hardly intended to fulfil such
