in a case of lost baggage. .srgr-
The facts appear to be, that the plaintiff and his
daughter, who are actors by profession rived at
Port Pon~hartrnn from Mobile. in the Norfolk
enrly in the morning of the 10Th May, 1913. The
plaintiffs baggage consisted of a leather travelling
trunk, large willow basket, champagne basket,
hair trunk, and some other small articles not
recollected, containing the private and theatrical
wardrobe of the plaintiff and his daughter.
It's proved that the plaintiffs baggage, with
that OF the rest ofshe passengers, was put on the
baggage car, but whether with the knowledge md
consent Of the plaintiff or not, seems uncertain
The defendants answered by the general denial.
and by pleading and proving that the usual prn.
ted notices, that baggage, is at the risk of the
owners, was stuck mp in the cabin of the Nor
folk at the ticket office, and at other places.
1t is now we'll settled that this notice is of no
avail, aud that ca .iers cannot relieve themselves
from, OF limit their responsibility by such notices.
The plaintiff claims the sum of twelve hundred
and thrty!six 34-lOO dollars, as the value of his
wardrobe. The only article that cannot be re-
placed is an original Gnrrack wig. for which, how.
ever, the price of affection cannot be given. 2

both as to quality and value, as the nature OF the
case permits. think it fair. however, 10 apply
the principle of deduction of ono third new for
old. This is sound old clothes philosophy. .aaI .
I The claim of Plaintiff for damages sustained by
not being to fulfil his engagements, &c. is rejected
as not admissible. 1t is therefore considered that
the plaintiff. e. A. Logan. recover from the dc.
PENDANTS, the Ponchartraine Rail Road COMPANY
the sum Of eight hundred and twelve dollars, with
cost of suit.

"Whig Decency.-lt is not enough that, over
looking his high-handed q6ences. the man has been
twice elected President of the United States be
grateful, forgivlng. and too-confding people; but
he now demands that VIC shall formally adopt md
ratify his worst conduct and most dangerous opin-
ions; that we shall partake of his gull; that we
shall become accessory to his crimes. committed
against the very life of the constitution and gov.
ernment of the country"
Such Is the cool and studied language of prom.
nent Wing! Such words has he thrown out
against the venerable and honored Andrew Jack.
son! Such hate has faction and political ami.
mostly infused into the breas, of this Wing lead.
er, of the House of Representatives, that, before
that House, he has held up as a criminal the good
and warrior Jackson. Even now. when the shades
tof life arc growing longer, and he drawing near
the night ofthe grave! Is partizan rancor become
so strong that his gray hairs may not 60 down
to tho grave in pcace7 Must the foul breath Of
slnndor be waited after his name even til his ca r
is hushed, and no moro can be puined, mot by tho
caIumny butt by the fact hat an American citizen,
for whom, perchance he fought, should thus OPEN
~ charge him with Guilt" His qualities have
through all past time gained honors, affection and
admiration. and shall not only love be Gened, but
the patriot hero be pointed out as one noted for
.high-handed Offences" and "crime" in our fair
and Freedom cline?
We do not think the base sentiments of Barna I'd
will meet with response from the bosom Of
single American.
