COMMON c. CARRIERs.-The Court in
Bank (the court of last resortin Ohio,
have decided that proprietors of stage
coaches are common carriers-that
as such they are responsible for the
safe conveyance of passengers and
baggage-that their giving notice to
the contrary cannot relieve them from
liability-that a watch is customary
article of baggage, and the trunk of a
traveller the proper place for its de-
posit-that the proprietor will be
charged if it be lost We very often
observe inthe advertisements of stage
proprietors all baggage at the risk of
the ownerp There have beennumer-
Gus decisions of flate upon this point,
in different States of the Union, all of
which coincide thatsuch a notice avails
nothing.

The affair of the Steamboat Caroline.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATlV Els.
SATURDAY. February IS. 194l,

Mr.. Pickens, from the Committee on
Foreign affairs, made the following re
port, which was ordered to be printed:
The Committee on Foreign Affairs, to
i, whom waa referred the Message of the
bPresident, transmitting a correspondence
: with the British Minister in relation to the
burning of the steamboat Caroline, and the
demand made for the liberation of Mr..
Alexander Mcleod, respectively report:
Ii appears that the Steamboat "Caroline"
was seized and destroyed in the month of
December, 1887. The committee are in
duced to believe that the facts of The case
are as follows: The boat was owned by,
and in possession OF, a citizen Of New York.
She was cleared from the City OF Buffalo,
and on the morning OF the Goth Of Decem-
Der, 837, she left the port of Buffalo, bound
for Schlosser, upon the American side OF
the Niagara river, and within the territory
Of the United States. The original inten-
ton seemed to be, to run the boat between
Buffalo and SchloSSer, or, perhaps, from
Black Rock dam to SchloSSer, and, should it
seem profitable, it was intended to run her
also to Navy Island, and touch at Grand Isl,
and and iona wanda. Her owner was Mr..
Wells, said to be respectable citizen Of
Buffalo, and it is obvious, his intention in
putting up the boat was one of speculation
and profit entirely. The excitement upon
that portion of the frontier, at this period,
had collected great many in the neighbor-
hood-some from curiosity-Some from
idleness-and others from taking an inter-
est in the unusual and extraordinary collec,
ton of adventurous men together at
that time on Navy Island. Navy Island
was ''nominally" in the British ''territo-
ry."
The owner of the Caroline took advan-
tage Of these circumstances to make some
money with his boat, by running her as a
ferry boat, over to Navy Island. All these
facts appear from testimony regularly ta-
ken, (see h. L. Doc. No. 3O2, page AZ and
SO, Cd Session, 25th Congress, y and the COM
mittee know Of no legal evidence to con-
tradict them. There is no proof that any
arms OF munitions of war were carried in
the boat; except. perhaps, one small six
FOUNDER iieId-Piece belonging to passen-
ger. The principal object was to run the
boat as a ferry boat from Schlosser on the
American side, to Navy Island on the Brit
ish side. 1t is believed that, even in war, a
neutral power has the right to trade in con-
traband articles, sub jec: of course, to sell
zure and contscation, if taken within the
jurisdiction of either of the contending par
ties. What is contraband of war is not al.
ways certain. Treaty sllPuIatons frequent
iy include some articles, and exclude others
recognised in the law of nations. Trading
in contraband articles is no excuse for Inva-
ding the territory and soIl Of a neutral and
