MIDsH1PMEN IN THE NAVY.
Congress Eas the Right to Legislate

Congress Eas the Right to Legislate
Them Into Private Life.
WASHINGTON, March g. The United
States supreme court rendered an opinion
to-day which it is thought will finally settle
the questions which have arisen out of the
passage of the act of 1882 limiting the num-
Der OF cadets who might he appointed to
places in the navy. James p. Crsnshaw
was cadet midshipman who had gone
through the six years. course, and was then
discharged in pursuance of the act of con-
gress. He brought suit for his salary in the
court OF claims, alleging that his appoint
ment as a midshipman constituted a con-
tract which could NOT be impaired, and that
he could not be dismissed from the navy
except after court-martial. Some other
phases of the case presented the cadets side
of the controversy in the strongest light
possible. The judgment of the court Of
claims, however, was against Crenshaw,
and so is the decision to-day. The supreme
court holds that Crenshaw has no right or
contract by virtue Of his office of which
congress could not deprive him. The opin-
ion is by Justice Brewer.

of Balm & Bro. IS private bank also. They
made an assignment, giving preference to
their dep0slCors and others over the ma
tional bank. The receiver sought to have
this assignment declared void, and to re-
cover the banks property in the possession
Of Balm & Bro. The circuit court, how
ever, refused to declare the
assignment void, aud also ruled
that although there was no
question but that considerable of Balm g.
Bros property had been purchased with
money belonging to the national bank, yet
that it wes entitled to the surrender of such
property only as it could trace it to have
been purchased with its funds. Mr.. Peter 8
contended that the burden of proof should
be upon the assignee of Balm g. Bro, and
not upon the Exchange bank, and also
that the assignment was totally void.
These were the two principal questions
upon which the case was brought here, and
the court, through Chief Justice Fuller,
holds that the opinion of the lower court
was right in all respects. 1t says that it
fails to find that the facts establish conclu-
sively the allegations of fraud, and that the
inquiry is not whether Balm s. Bro. had
been previously guilty of fraud or embez-
element, but whether this particular cous
veyance was made with fraudulent intent
known to the trustees or beneficiaries.

Col Livingston's Alleged Scheme to

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The FoSt this
morning surprised the House with this par
agraph: 1.-THE members of the Georgia
delegation in the House of Representatives
have had noJice served npon them that
their reelection will be contested by an
organized opposition party, They have
received letters that the farmers alliance
of Georgia intends to put candidate in
the field in each congressional district at
the next elsction, and that none of the
present delegation from Georgia will be
found on the alliance ballots" Inasmu ch
as the Georgia delegation is recognized as
one of the foremost in the House
this attracted much attention and
prompted many inquiries. 1t appeared
that one member of the delegation received
letters from his political friends, telling him
that Col. Livingston, the alliance leader,
proposed the project outlined, and that an
other member received a letter from the
alliance in his district offering to make him
its candidate on certain conditions. This
publication of the facts will probably de-
feat the project.

TOWNSVILLE, GA, March 3.-There
was freeze here Saturday night, the ther-
mometer going down to 22o. Vegetation Of
overy kind, affected by cold, is dead.
Thousands of summer flowers are frozen
stiff. Acres of Irish potatoes, garden peas
and other truck plants are destroyed, the
plants lying fiat upon the frozen earth. The
pear crop will be total failure. 1t is still
very cold, but bright and crisp and clear.
The town has filed up with winter tour
lists, and the hotel and boarding house and
livery stable people, together with the doc
tors and undertakers, are happy, which
illustrates the old saying that it is an i'll
wind that blows nobody good.
FRUIT MEN INTERVIEWED.
The NEWS correspondent interviewed
leading fruit men to-day on the effects of
the freeze. T. e. Blackshear said the
LeConte pear crop will be failure. There
might possibly be one-tenth Of crop. The
cold caught young pears from the size Of the
end of mans thumb to that Of pea and
killed them. Late blossoms may yield a
little fruit. The limbs of the trees look as
If they had been scorched by fire, and have
withered. The finest prospect Mr.. Black
shear ever had for strawberries is
blasted. His loss on Strawberries
alone win be $4,000. Japan persimmons,
figs and seedless peaches are utterly de-
stroyed. Plums and other peaches are un-
hurt.
Capt. Varnedoe, father Of the LeConte
pear industry, said in speaking Of them
"You can't down 'em, and you will see a
crop yet. Millions are killed, but enough
fruit buds are left to give fair CROP"
II. II. Sanford, a nurserymaD, was not so
hopeful. "The pear crop is ruined" said
he. "a few struggling blossoms late In
the season may make pears here and there,
but there will be none to speak Of. "

Mr.. Cultivate of Ohio, in advocating the
case of the contestee. exhibited what is
known as double-action hallot-box, which
the republicans assert was used in twenty
one precincts, and which enables the
precinct judges to cast aside the
vote of any person they may
see fl. He showed the manipulation by
which such judges could deceive the voter,
and lead him to believe that his ballot has
been properly deposited. He quoted from
the returns Of the precincts where it is al
legged these boxes were used in order to
show that the vote for Mr.. Featherstone
far exceeded that for Mr.. Cate, and he
further asserted that there was

in the case to show that such a box as he
now presented was used at the election. The

had told where it had come from.

A FAMOUS BANK FAILURE.
The Supreme Court Reserves Judg-
ment in the Case.

ment in the Case
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The United
States court reserved Judgment in the case
of the state of Virginia and of Rob-
erts, auditor, against Temple, for the
reasons stated in the Hanse case. This case
involved several million dollars. and also
presented the question of the right of a Cit
1Zen to sue his own state. It came here on
a certificate of division of opinion among
the judges of the circuit court for the
Eastern district Of Virginia. The
case, 50 far as Roberts, state auditor
was concerned, was dismissed on the ground
that it was really a suit. against the state.
In 1885 the Exchange National Bank of
Norfolk, Va, had its shutters put up bv
order OF the controller Of the currency. who
appointed receiver and directed that the
affairs of the bank be put in process
OF liquidation. TIE same day the private
banking house of Balm & Bro, in the neigh
boring town of Portsmouth, also failed.
The facts developed by an examination
made by the receiver led to a lawsuit
brought in the name of William H. Peters,
receiver Of the Exchange National Bank of
Norfolk, Va, appellant against Balm g.
Bro. ct al. The circuit court for the East
ern district of Virginia rendered Judgment
only partly in favor of the receiver, and the

STORY OF THE FAILURE.
The story of the failure, as shown by the
briefs IN the case, is of unusual interest in
view of the recent bank failures in New
York city. The capital stock of the Ex-
change National Bank was $500, 900, and of
this amount the firm of Balm & Bro. and
the brothers individually held more than
oae-third. They we're the PRINCIPAL officers
OF the bank, and were the controlling power
IN Its affairs. They also ran a private
banking establishment in Portsmouth
which they had established before they be-
came interested IN the Norfolk bank. The
