IMPORTANT DECISION
Wharton Jones,

This was an action brought under the
4th section of the act Of Congress, Of
Feb. IL, 1898, for "hGrbOring and con-
ceGliGg" certain negroes from whom
service was due 10 the Plaintiff.
1t appeared in evidence that during the
month Of April, 1912, nine slaves, the
property Of the Plaintiff, left their mas
ter's residence in Kentucky, and were
on the following days found in the pos
session Of the Defendant, near Palmyra
in Warren County, Ohio, who had them
in a wagon and was conveying them
Northward. Seven Of these negroes
were taken from his possession by two
men named Hefisrman and Hargraves
who acted without authority from the
plaintiff, and were by them conveyed
10 CovingtOn, Ky, where they were de-
tanned until they we're reclaimed by th'
Plaintiff. The other two negroes escap'
ed--one Of whom voluntarily returned
to his master in Kentucky after a feS
days-and the other one has never beel
retaken.
The Defendant relied upon the wan
Of proof Ofnotice 10 him, that these ne
groes we're slaves in Kentucky, and th
absence ofa claim by the owner, his A.
gent or Attorney. as appears to be requjr
ed BY the Act Of Congress.

NOTICE TO ENDoRsERs.

A principle of some importance has
been established by the Supreme Judi
cal Court at Boston, in the case Of Chou
teau vs., Webster. Mr.. Webster was su
ed as first endorser ofa :promiSsory note
which had been protested in N. York
for non payment. The defence ,Swas
placed upon Inisdirection of the nO'ice,
which the protesting notary sent to Wash.
ingtOn, where Mr.. Webster then notori,
Ously was, attending to his duties as a
member Of the United States Senate
the time being 'duringNhe extra session .OI
1886. II was contended that the notice
should have been sent 10 Boston, where
Mr.. Webster had his dOmiCjl and office
and where he had an agent in charge of
his business.
SHAW ]: G. delivered the opinion Of
the Court that the plaintiff was entitled
to recover From facts agreed by the
parties, the Court was at liberty TO infer
that the notice was actually received by
the defendant, aud they were satisfied
that such was the fact. The question in
the case was, whether this notice was
sufficient to bind the defendant, or wheth.
er it ought to have been sent to him in
Boston, where he had his domicil. Un.
der the circumstances of the case the
fair inference being that the notice was
actunlIy received, the court were of Opin.
ion that il was sufficient 10 charge the de-
Ienlant.

never has Vermont received any compensation,
either by way OF an assumption OF debts or by
Enumeration, from The federal government. Cun it
be that Vermont, in proportion to population did
not do as much as New Hampshire ia the Revo

half million dollars now Justly due 10 Vermont.

State may yet make out large equitable claim
upon the Government; such an one as ought TO be

ASSUMPTION OF STATE DEBTS,


From the vociierous denominations Of Benton
some newspaper editors, it may have been sup
posed that such thing as the assumption of State
debts by the General Government is u measure
never before thought ol-certainly never adopted.
So i, is not On the Goth oil JuIy 1890, Congress
assumed the debts then due fl ON the Suites of the
Union, amounting to $2l 100000, which, together
with The debts contracted by the Continental Con-
grcss, formed the National Debt. exceeding eighty
millions OF dollars. BY vote of 81 10 % in the
House, and Ii to IL in the Senate, the Federal
Government assumed this immense debt, and il
has now all been paid. Was the measure impuli-
tic, either as respects the credit of the Federal
Government or It's influence upon the prosperity
of the people? The history Of the past most
concusiyey shows that it was not From that
immense debit subs 'quently sweed 10y tho cost OF
the last war, arose on the one hand the absolute
necessity of u financial system adequate 10 pro-
duce heavy national revenue and on the other
hand that debt imposed upon the Government a
necessity equally absolute, TO husband its resour-
oes by practising wise economy. That necessi-
~ produced Tariffs, and Tariffs brought out the
resources of the country, and protected its capital
aud its industry. In forty years the result was,
that the immense national debt was paid, aud the
country left we may almost say, infinitely enrich
ed The assumption Of Stale debts is not, then,
necessarily unwise or injurious. In some crcum-
stances such as in 1890, it may be safe aud po-
lite measure. From these suggestions let no one
infer that we are favorable to ali assumption of
State debts notU. Distinction must he made be-
tween the State debts OF 1880, contracted for n
national aud common purpose-tor American In
depcndence-and those Of this day, contracted ms
existing debts have been, mainly for Stale and sec
iiOnHl purposes, and some OF those none Of the {
wisest II existing Safe debts are to be assumed
II, alias we think they need rot be, if the public
lands restored to their legal propretors = we
say, if assumed at all, it must be on principle of
erdct justice to every State. In this point, we sus-
pect The net of 1890 was deficient; or rather, we
should say, injustice was done in that the debts in
CURED in the Revolutionary War by one State,
not then in the Union, were never provided for.
We mean Permont. Here is the list OF State debts
nv thn of
