Lewis. Action to recover the amount of S400 and interest due on a promissory note made by one Pitcher, and endorsed first by the defendant and then by the plaintiff. which had been paid by the plaintiff. A plea ot usury was filed by defendant. Norris for plaintiff: Mat- Ungiy tor defendant. The court granted the following instructions to the jury: Itthe jury fad trom the evidence ‘4° the promusory note in the deciaration men- tioned was exectited by Chas. A. Pitcher and endorsed by J. C. Lewis,and piaced in the hands of the plaintiff, with a view toefiec' a sale of the said note, and realize the proceeds for said Pitcher, endorsed the same and ob- tained the proceeds at a deduction of onr-half of one cent per month from the free of the note and paid the same to the said Pitchsr, the plaintiff is cptitied to recover, althougn they sbould further find tbat the interest earried on the face of the paper, with said deduction. would amount to more than legal interest, un- less they should further find that the said note in its inception was usurious. The Court said this case raises simply this question: whether infer parties. where twa men employ a third to negotiate a piece of paper in violation of the usury law and he does it (for 12 per cent. per annum isa viola- tion) by adding bis own endorsement to it, anc Aiterwards pays it to the parties who employed bim as agent, should be compelled to respond for the money disbursed upon it. Their an- swer to their lisbuity is tha: the note being in violation of the usury law. the plaintiff should bave refused to pay the note in respoose to his endorsement, and that imasmuch as he woula ot Dave been liable to pay the note himself they are not bound to respond to him for any payment he made upon it. This makes, under the instructions, a proper case for the court in banc, and the plaintif! can take bis exceptions. ‘The jury thereupon found a verdict for the psi the ull amountof the note, and Mr. jattingly gave notice of exceptions. —+——— Tue Potowac FRowtT.—A strong gule from the southwest this morning again stagnate: business around the front, and obstracts the movements of sailing vessels.

F. E. Skinner, treasurer of the Nauional Lincoln Monument Association, in- cerporated by act of Congress approved March ii, 167. This very considerable appropriation to the fund, being contributed by citizens of every section and State, will be somewhat reduced by the losses of clothing which so unfortn- nately occurred on that occasion. Yet, in view of the great national purpose to which the suy- plus has deen appropriated, it is believed that many will cheerfully donate their claims to the monument. Indeed, some have already done so, and others bave manifested a most liberal id praiseworthy feeling to follow so becomiog an example. The few articles of clothing yet uncalled tor bave bogs mena in the rooms of the National Lincoln Monument Association, at 499 11th street, where they may at any time be examined by those whe bave sustained losses.
