A A.Hull-less oats. ,, Dec,s,on.

Chestertown, Md, April 29-One Of
the important "hull-less oats" notes cases
was decided in the court here yesterday
morning. This was the case Of Meginnis
vs.. Johnson. The latter gave note Of
800 in payment of ten bushels Of oats
At the same time he received paper in
the form Of a contract which bound the
Grain and Cereal Company of Carroll
county to sell for the said Johnson
twenty bushels Of oats at SO per
bushel, so that the oats and the
contract were the consideration for the
note. This note fell into the hands Of
Mr.. Joseph Meginnis of Queen Anne's,
who obtained from johnson q second note
for $50 in lieu Of the original 500 note
The court gave Judgment in favor of
johnson, and imposed all the costs upon
Neginnis, declaring that the whole trans
action was fraud, and the holder of the
note had knowledge thereof as shown by
| the evidence

WHILE it is generally admitted that
the divorce and marriage Jaws Of Della
ware are somewhat crude they are better
than the tax laws of some Of the Western
states. In legislating on the plan Of
correcting some insignificant evil these
states have opened wide the doors TO one
of lie most universal scandals
Of odern times. The Chicago,
Indiana and Iowa courts TEEN
with the most outrageous and salacious
divorce cases. The courts Of Chicago
were scarcely done with the Rawson case
before they began with the more scan
dalous Carter case, which is now in
court Besides the indecent and disgusting
details published in nauseating fulness
by the papers, there is the evil Of the
examples these people set. In
both cases the parties are rich
and belong to the best class Of Chicago
society. In Delaware the law renders
marriage difficult and brings divorce be
fore the Legislature. For that reasor
the details Of the disgusting cases cannot
be served in the papers for the perverted
appetite of scandal-loving citizens. T,
that extent Delaware may be Thankful
that her laws are not as modern a,
the laws Of some Of the other states. Ii
South Carolina there is no divorce Law
and the people consequently are NOR,
careful in undertaking the duties and tn,
responsibilities Of the marital state.

General Boulanger goes to London

flight from Paris did not commend itself
to the average British mind, which is an
exceedingly plucky one, as precisely the
act Of truly brave man. IL is quite true
that Louis Napoleon succeeded in making
his way to the throne of France via Lon
don, but he was something more than a
mere political adventurer with handful
OF scaramouch followers at his back. He
had the prestige Of the great name Of
Napoleon Bonaparte to help him, and he
was recognized in some sort as his sue.
cessor British society Of the very high
est made much OF Louis Napoleon in Lon

THE contemplation Of the distress
which Colonel Dudley is in makes it diff
ficult to imagine that his explanation
that It is due TO "a hue and cry down in
indianapolis" Colonel Dudley's reputa.
zion as a valuable man in managing the
pecuniary details Of campaigns is not re
gently acquired. This is not the first
scandal that has been associated with
his name. His letter to Dear

tone Of craftsmanship which appeared
in the "blocks OF FIVE" letter. II is pre-
cisely in harmony with Fosters "fry the
fat out Of them" letter and with the
notorious Jay Hubbells 20 per cent let
ter. There is no mistakiug the charac-
ter of the letter that Colonel Dudley
would write, hence, II he did not write
precisely the letters which have been
published, he wrote letters so similar
that his denial would have no weight
even if they were not erasive
He is in a pitiable plight
now, after twenty years Of disgraceful
political methods. But Colonel Dudley
will not suffer This show of virtue on
the part Of the administration Is spas
modic. Are not Clarkson and Thurston

for Dudley. The Republicans viii not
