How much moro intelligent and fasci-
mating the majority of young ladies would
he, were they to give a little more atten-
ton to newspaper reading. We do not
mean the fash papers of the day, which
are lIled with matter which, ii il does
no harm, can certainly DO no good, but
to nov papes-those which make u IA
miliar with present character and i'm
proyelnent Of the age. Il is wei enough
to know something OF the worlds history,
but 1t i with the present we have mainly
to deal. Every young lady should have
an intelligent opinion on the moral, mem
tai, political, and religious subjects of
the times. The best and only way to
find this, is 10 read good newspapers.

Governor Scott, Of South Carolina, has sued
Che New York Tribune for Libel, alleging that
fake charges have been made by that journal
against his administration. We are inclined to
think that Scott will be rather tired Of the sport
before the Tribune gets through with him, and,
unless We are greatly mistaken, it will be the
truth that will overw helm him, and make him
dsplore the day he ever crossed lances with the
Tribune.

The utter, disgraceful and ridiculous fail
ure of Charles A. Dana's attempt to prove
his charges of malfeasance in office against
Secretary Robeson will have the good effect
of removing all necessity on the part of any
body to answer, refute or in any way notice
any charge made in the N. Y. Sun or by its
editor elsewhere. Mr.. Dana stands before
the American people convicted falsifer and
an unmitigated blackguard. Even the N. Y.
Tribune, which is SO ready to catch at any
thing which may seem to prejudice the ad-
ministration, is forced for very shames' sake
to repudiate this matter; and any attack up
pom President Grant or ihis Cabinet which
the Tribune will not swear by must be shabby
indeed. 1t is really refreshing to see how
fat the Vaccinations of the cabal of disap-
pointed and jealous Senators and editors-for
really there is hardly anybody else in the anti
administration ring-have fallen. Starting
Off with prodigious flourish of trumpets in
the winter and with loud demands for investi-
cations they have been met at every point by
perfect readiness to beinvestigated on the part
OF the government and by most chilling
non-concurrence in their ambitious schemes
ON the part of the people. The great reupta-
tion of Greeley and Sumner, the medium rep
utation of Schurz, Upton and Bowles and the
little reputation Of "Tray, Blanche and
Sweetheart who follow their lead, have all
been thrown into the seething cauldron; but
with all their double, double, toll and
trouble" the spell is not worked. The people
remain disgustingly apathetic and, in spite
of the intellectual gymnastics so bountifully
displayed by these sol disan .sreformers,"
persist in believing in President Grant and
the rectitude of his administration. aa

In the First District the congressional stu
alton remains practically unchanged since
our last observations. We hear Of no new
candidates ,but we learn something of the
movements of those already announced and
believe that the contest is centering with
in narrower limits. A correspondent in the
Saco Independent over the signature of '.Un-
ion" thinks we ought to take strong ground
for some one of the contestants. We fancy
that cloud of ''Unions" would rise up to de-
nounce us should we do so. No, gentlemen,
''hands Off is our motto until after conyen-
ton; then we shall be ready to speak out ana
help the election Of the candidate py every
means in our'power. This we will say, that
the nomination is fully and fairly conceded to
York county and that Mr.. Lynch definitely
and positively declines to be a candidate for
denomination. So that all forebodings of
trouble from this quarter may be set at rest.
We think we could make a pretty good guess
as to the result but refrain from indulging in
an exhibition of our powers OF second sight,
in Difference to our established position of
'benevolent neutrality"


In the Second and Third Districts the re-
nomination and reelection of Mr.. Frye and
Speaker Blaine will be mere matters of form.


In the Fourth District Mr. Peters will un-
doubtedly be renominated without serious op-
position, if he concludes to be candidate
1t is understood that Hon. Lewis Barker has
his eye on the chances, and his movements
through the winter are construed by many as
an indication of his purpose to push his for
tunes in the country and let the city "gang
its ain gait" Gen. Hersey will not be can
didate against Peters, but, if the field is open,
ly have an overwhelming strength in the Dis
trict, as he is very popular in all parts.


All indications point to the Fifth District
as the fighting ground par excellence in the
coming campaign. Hon. F. A. Pike is un-
derstood to be donning the war paint and
feathers for the fray, He is man of great
energy, ability and political experience, and
will probably have strong following in
Washington county. Hon. William McGil-
very of Searsport is also spoken of as pros
pective candidate, but as yet we learn moth
ing of his movements. The men, however,
who attempt to unseat Mr.. Hale will have no
sinecure. he is young, vigorous, strong and
brilliant, with splendid Congressional record
behind him. His career has been eminently
creditable to himself, his District and the
State.


So much for the situation now. We shall
endeavor to keep our readers acquainted
with all changes in the political kaleido-
scOpe

and peaceful methods which are efectual


among ourselves. The English leaders of


this movement will weaken their power


over their own class, besides damaging


their influence with all classes, by making


themselves the preachers of a Polish war,


and proposing a universal Revolution.


We make allowance for the enthusiasm


which, at the outset of a political career,


magnifes objects and exaggerates means.
But there are few elements in the cal
culation which escape the straining gaze
of these visionaries. One would think.
to read through this narrative, that the
whole world was divided between a few
capitalists and landowners on one side,
and the working classes on the other, and
We are at a loss to discover what place
will be left in the future millennium of
labor for those professional and CONNER
cial classes, who count for something in
the constitution of society. English life
is founded on too solid base to be over
thrown in the interest of any single class.
But all classes are now anxious, beyond
all other things, to do all that can be done
by wise Legislation for the very ends pro-
posed by the International Association, so
far as they are practical. If Mr. Odger
and Gis friends would secure the benefits
which are within their power in England,
they would afford a guidance to their
friends abroad which would do far more
to help them out of their confusion than
those "pet plans of clever thinkers" which
they begin by distrusting, and end by
adopting.

JOHN AcKEAGUE rs. J. r. HELEN
ALLEN, c. j.:


This case comes up on appeal from the Police
Justice of Honolulu.


An action for money had and received was
brought against the defendant, for money receiv-
ed by him from the plaintiff on account of pre-
MUM on application for a policy of insurance on
the life of said plaintiff, to the Mutual Life In
surance Company Of New York." and the Police
Justice ruled that if the agent exceeded his
authority, alleged by the plaintiff, in giving re-
ceipt for the money paid by him, the remedy
would be, action on the case, and not assumpsit
for money had and received, and on this ground
the nonsuit was entered


When one has received the money of another,
and has not the right to retain it, the law implies
that he will pay it over. Lade5itatus Assumpsit,
for money had and received by the defendant, to
the use of the plaintiff, is the proper form of ac
tion for money so received. This is general
principle of law, and the statute does not conflict
with it.


IN addltlo0, the statute does not require rlgld
forms of pleading in the Courts not of record,
for amendments can be made at any stage Of the
proceedings when the justice of the case requires
it. We are Of opinion, therefore, that the Police
Magistrate erred in ordering Non Suit


The second ground of nonsut was, that the ac-
ton should have been brought against the New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company" and not
against the present defendant, he being only an
agent of said company. The Court are not salts
fed from the case as presented that the agent
acted within the authority as given him by the
company. If he exceeded it, he is of course liza
BILE, unless it should be proved that his acts were
recognized by the company, and without deceit
or detriment to the plaintiff.


In view of all the circumstances of the case,
we deem it our duty to set aside the nonsuit and
order the case back to the Police Magistrate for
trial

prosperity, and that war is its greatest
foe. Spain was at one time the greatest
empire in the civilized world, and domi-
mated both Europe and America with the
same strong power But wars Of aggres-
sion and conquest proved as much Of q
drain upon her resources as wars Og inva-
sion had done previously. The wars Of
Charles the Fifth were a terrible trial upon
the resources Of Spain, happening at the
same time with the great emigration to
America. No nation can for long period
engage in such contests without either
overlooking its own people with taxation
or levying enormous fines upon the con
quered nations, as was done by Rome and
afterward by Napoleon, and now by Ger
many.


In our own case we clearly see how
much we have lost by the ravages OF four
years of civil war, and there can be no
question that if we had as much of it as
Mexico suffers under, our progress would

be no greater than hers. As regards the
blighting effects of religious intolerance
and persecution, the lesson Of Spanish his
tory speaks trumpet-tongued- And yet
there are scarcely any of the Roman Cath
Ole journals or magazines issued in this free
Republic that does not defend the most
extreme tenets of ultra-montanism, and
oppose all efforts to spread liberal institu-
tions in the Catholic countries Of Europe.
1t is very true that all religions have
spice of intolerance about them whenever
they are in power sufficiently to bring it
out. But, taking things as we find them,
there seems to be no reason to apprehend
peril from the ascendancy of Protestant
ism at present, however there may have
been in the past. Let us hope the day
may not be far distant when we may be
able to say the same of the Latin, Greek
and all other Churches, for there can be
no worse foe of all true religion than in
North AB,e,iean.
