LIABILITY OF COMMON CAR
RIERS,

Two cases have lately been tried, one
10 SreubenVlIe, Ono, and the OTHER in
New York. the results Of which are i'm i.
portant as touching the responsibility Of
common carriers. The first ol these
cases, that tried at SeubenvlIe, was
one in which Mr.. Henry Bradshaw
claimed damages Of the owners OF the
steamboat Eutaw, for the loss Of goods
swept INTO the river from the boiler deck
BY the collapsng Of Aue 1t was
shown on the part Of the steamboat
owners that the greatest care and dill
gence were used to insure the safety Of
every thing on board, and it was con
tended by their counsel that hey we're
thus discharged from all responsibility,
For the plaintiff it was cOnteDded that
common carrier was an insurer, and
that nothing but the acl Of God or public
enemies would operate as a discharge
Of the liability. The Court charged The
Jury that 1t was incumbent on the defen
dants to show thai The accident occurred
from either ofihe exceptions admitted
by the plaintiffs council, and thai. not
having done so, their LIABILITY was fixed
The Jury accordingly gave verdict 10
favor OF the plaintiff, Of $500 damages.
SO far as the Stale ol New York is
concerned the question Of Liability has
been definitely settled in suit instituted

HUZZ4! FOR TIE WIG TARIFF

Our farmers have generally realized
higher prices for their wool crop This
season, than were paid last year. Their
good sense very readily supplies a rea-
son Tor this decided improvement.
We have heard numbers Of intelligent
men remark upon the subject, and inva
r,sbIy ascrIbe it to The operation OF The
TarIf law, passed by the late Wing
Congress. 10 this, they do not err. -
To the Tariff, undoubtedly. is all the
credit due for the appreciation IN The
price OF This great staple Of our country
Nor are It's effects TO stop here. In
years 10 come, there will still be an in
crease ln the demand, and consequent
advance 10 the price Of this article, as
we'll as in all others upon which the Ta'
riff directly operates; while it will nd-
recly benefit, in almost equal ratio, all
agricultural products Of our country,
We learn from ihe east, that cloths
and wooIIen fabrics generally have gone
up in value, some 20 TO IS per cent
thus affordiDg assurance, BY this time
next season, that wool will advance in
price.
We are just beginning to feel what
has all along been predicted as certain
TO result from the passage Of well di
gested Tariff law. This measure has
been the iavoriIe one Of the Whigs-aII

Z Employment OF FemaIes-Rninous Effects
OF Paper Money,

there Is, perhaps, al this moment no part of the
community which Is suffering more from the effects
OF the overaciion OF the paper system and the ncon.
sldeTate interference OF lawyers with commercial
pursuits, than that portion of our female community
who have supported themselves and their dependents

are paid Tor all descriptions OF needework, render

resource 10 provide themselves with necessaries.
female can now with the utmost diligence and eco
nomy, scarcely sustainher current weekly expences,
even at the low rates at which the necessaries OF
lite are now TO be procured. The immediate cause
oil this Is the great number of those who seek such
employments, causing the supply OF labor greatly to
exceed the demand. The remote cause or that
which increased the supply of labor, was the over.
action OF the paper system In the few years pre-.
cedng 1867, when speculation ran so high and anv
quantity of goods could be purchased in the Atlantic
cities upon credit the trade in ready made linen and
clothing. was pushed TO an extraordinary extent
Facilities were easily procured tor the purchase of
cloths and tor their manufacture into clothing which
was sold on long credits TO the south and west for
notes which are discounted at the banks here fur.
n.shing means Tor fresh operations. One house,
which failed IN 1887 in this line OF business paid out
$4,000 per annum TO females for their LABOR Ready
made linen, stocks and all branches were pushed to
a similar extent. This created a demand for labor
and caused high prices. These prices brought into
the city numbers from the country, to take advan.
tage OF them, caused girls TO quit service to engage
Ia sewing, and induced vast numbers living under
the paternal roof to undertake sewing in order to
dress with greater extravaganza All this produced
an immense increase in the supply of labor, and its
results were sold credit TO persons who consumed
II and never paid for it. When the revulson came,
all these great employers stopped, and thousands of
girls were thrown out OF employ. In 1870 the num-
