THAT TELEPHONE SUIT, There is a good deal of talk about the delay an beginning government sult against the ~. Bell Telephone company at Columbus, 0. and many predict that it will never tak place, as government ofticials are losing th nerye under the heavy fire of the press and people. Two or three local newspapers ven- ture the prediction to-day that the sult will not be brought. MORIISON'S SCHEME, A feeling is erowing in congressional eircles that some such seheme as Mr. Mo son proposes will beadopted one of these days, by which the country will be flooded with money and the doors of national banks made to bang. e proposes to keep the sur- plus in the treasury at not over $100,000,000 and to call in bonds representing the inter- est bearing debt with the imulations from time to time with all in excess of that amount. This would at once throw some- thing like $140,000,00) on the count nd de- crease the capital stoek of national banks to the extent of perhaps two-thirds the amount. This of course contemplates some othe r of security for mational banks—a cash d posit or a 2 per cent bond exclusive for the bank It has come to the time alre when government bonds are an impracticable investment for idle money. The premium is too great and fluctuatin their liability to be called in too constant, money in government bonds the investor is only sure of one thing after the date at which _they may be redeemed has passed—he is sure < of the face and value “Undoubtedly one of the gre test problems during the mext few years Is the security for national banks, and the collate rednetion of the national debt,” gaid an old financier in the senate to-da; “The time Is here when we must pay the debt, and atthe same time afford a more practicable and an increased niauner of security for na- tional banks, vernment bondsas an in- vestment is a thing of the past.” NOT A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. “A good deal is being said in the press of the east about the ‘democratic vietory” o the r cent elections in my state obs d - Sel tor Mitehell, of Orégon, Lo your Correspon- dent to-day. “Was it a democratic victory?” I asked. “Not for a moment,” was the quick reply *and no one in Oregon—not even the most ultra democrat—contends that it is.

THE CROFY MMARY. The Farmer's Review Sends Out Disconraging Reports.

The actual injury to the crop in Minnesota 15 already serious, while the aver- age of reports from Dakota, Nebraska, Wis- consin and Lowa indicate that many seetions have felt the blight, and that tho ayerage vietd has already been considerably lessened. Through an analysis of the probable crop vield has not been attempted by the Review, yet a study of the detailed reports, which' have covered every county in the northwest, dur- ing the past th s, does not give prom- ise to exceed sixty million bushels in_excess of the final tizures made by the government Instyear. Both oats and flax crops have suf- fered severely from the prolonged drouth in the northwestern states, and the prospective yield of oats will be shoit an average yield eracre.

July S—[New York Ilerald Cable—dpecial to the Bee.]—The oflicial ga- zette yesterday contained the new consular tariff which goes into effect in August. The present tariff was established in July, 1574, and placed a consular tax of two franes on age of merchandise shipped from an American to a Spanish port. In October, 76, & royal order substitutod for éhis pack- > tax another of 10 cents per ton, Since thatdate the United States has continually attempted to procure the abolition of this tax which has been levied by the Spanish con- suls and was weighing heayvily upon Ameri- can shippers. This objeet has finally been attained and the new consular tariff explie- itly suppresses the objectionable tax. This reform, coming so soon after the royal order ofining the modus vivendi of February, 1854, 50 as to place American vessels in every respect on the same basis as Spanish vessels de with the Antilles, shows a liberal disposition on the part ot the present govern- ment of Spain to foster trade between the United States ana the Antilles, e Lost in the Alps.

Upon his head he wore a black velvet beretta, Immediately in front of him stood four men, each of whom held a sup- port to a canopy of blue and white satin trimmed with gold and at the same time held in his had” a lighted taper, Under canopy the groom and bride took a sition. ~ They' were addressed in a most practical ind sympathetic manner by the clergyman, in \\"m-h he referred to the happiness which generrlly attended AT people in the marricd life, and the enhancement of that happiness, ocea sioned by the practice of religion and th blessing of God, which ought to charac- terize Iife in wedlock. Ho then read the marriage formula from the He- braic " ritual, ~ at the conclu- sion ot which he handed a glass of wine to the brother of the bride, who in turn handed it to s sister, who merely pressed theglassto her lips, The sume grluss was then passed to the father of the bride, who presented it to groom, and from which but asip w taken.

AUTHOI'S RIGHTS, Jdudge Hammond's Opinton on Pirat- ical Book Seller: Mesents, Tenn,, July 4—Judge Ham- mond, of the United States court, has for- warded to be filed his opinion involving the copyright of James G. Blaine's *“Twenty Years of Congress.” The case was argued before Judge Hammond while holding court for Judge Sagein, of Olio, and is said to go further than any previous deeision in the pro- tection of author’s property in books. The Bill Publishing company sells Blaine's book only by subscription, and has done every- thing possible to keep it away from the gon- eral rade. But an agent to whom they had sent copies for delivery, sold the books to dealer and pocketed the imoney. Some eopies of this purchase were procured by an Ohio merchant without notice of the frand, and Judge Hammond restrained him from selling them, holding it ) )y right to sell, “without” the author’s consent, surtopti- tiously obtained copies of the genuine prin as mueh s it is to sell unlawfully ,vmm-fi copies.
