John j. Crittendcn against MIR. Clny.-A Stab In the
dnrk.-The truth Will out.

A letter from Mr.. Anderson young lawyer OF Cln-
cinnati--to Mr.. Sneson, formerly of Jessamne county,
KY, is now in Washington. 1t contains the language
Mr.. John j. Crittenden in letter to Mr. Anderson MI
Crittenden urged Mr. Anderson to have as many uee
gates in favor of Taylor from Ohio possible, as
means of defeating Mr. Clay. He said, in that letter,
'THAT EVERYBODY HAD BEATEN Mr.: CLAY AND THAI
ANYBODY COULD BEAT HIM THAT Mr.. CLAY HAD BEEN An
INCUBUS UPON THE PARTY FOR THE LAST TWENTY YLAho,
THAT A MILESTONE ABOUT THE MEMS VI

Gen. TnYInr's Letter.

We re-publsh the letter ofGen. Tay-
lor to Gen. Gaines, to-day, for two rea-
sons-frst because, the letter is now CIV
en- to the public in full; secondly, that the
reader may understand the letter to Sc
cretary Marcy, published last week.
1t is said that, whom Gen. Taylor re-
ceived the letter from the Secretary of
War, commenting upon the one publish
ed today, he was setting at his dinner ia
bic. After reading the letter, he crush
ed it in his hand-thcn poured pot ofmus-
tard on his meat and after eating il,wrote
the reply. Pickles, say the b'hoys, will
make man sharp and we suppose, from
the dcuteneSs of Taylor's letter, mustard
must have the same effect BY the way,
it is said, that Marcy has neglected his
official duties and is spending his time
in studying the English version of Esop's
Fables. 1t is also suggested that he will
be under the necessity of making a
charge against the Government for IRE,
pairing his breeches s"-the voucher is a
good one, Taylor's reply.

nmDortnmt 10 corporations.

A correspondent of the Boston Post,
writing from Washington, gives the de-
tails of case Of much Importance 10
Corporations, which has recently beeu
decided in the Supreme Court of the
United States. II was in the case Of the
West Bridge River Corporation in Yer
mont, VS.. sundry citizens of the county
of Wiudham, We copy from tho Post
the following paragraph, which explains
the nature of the case, and the decision
"The West Bridge Company was in.
corporated in 1885 as toll bridge with
all the corporate privilege unrestricted
and no reservation of appeal In lS42
the defendants peiitioned the county
court to lay out a road over this bridge,
under general law of 1899, authorizing
the laying out of highways, and assess
ing damages for property taken for the
use Of tho road, The road was laid ont
accordingly, and tho PLAINTIFFS bridge
taken for which damages were duly as
sessed. This was taking not only of
the property, but of the franchise of the
corporatOni and inc courts ot vermont
sustaining the right to take the franchise
the action was brought here by writ oI
error to the State courts, as against the
provisions Of the United States Consttu
iion; which prohibits tho States from i'm
pairing the obligations Of contracts. The
court decided, for the first time in til,
, judicial world, that corporation has NJ
more rights than individuals as to tht
+ power of the State to take their propert,
for public use; and they go further unc
! cut the bands that have bound down pro
, gress for century, by declaring that tn,
: franchise Of corporation is as much pro
i perty as the materials it owns, and n
+ such may be appropriated for public use
n on reasonable compensation, by the pow
or of eminent domain in the State. o

It ed forms of law, are not within tho rt
y vision or supervision of this court"

RoiI Rond SubscriDtiOms

The Columbus correspondent of the
Scioto Gazette says:
"The counties of Coshocton, Portage,
Carroll, Tuscarawas, and Cuyahoga, are
authorized to subscribe 10 the Capital
Stock of the Northern Railroad, without
any vote ofthe counties, if the Commits
sioners do not see fit to submit the ques'
ton.
Old Fairfield also is authorized to sub
scribe, so that her beautiful capital viii
soon form a connection with the moving
world"
We don't understand the latter para
graph. We have not yet seen any &C
count of the passage of the bill and we
think the writeriS in error. flour Com
missioners are authorized, it must be b.
an amendment to the general bill, whicl
limits the subscription to $50, 1000.

In the Senate, resolutions providing

The President has sen; in a communi

cept treaty upon the basis of Mr.. Trst'

No bill of a general nature has become
a law during the past week.
There are several bills of Importance
yet before the Legislature, among then
are, the bill to provide for amending the

a bill to provide for the amendment oftht
Common School Law and several Others
of less general Importance. Whether
these can now be acted upon is matte
ofuncertainty.
The bill to repeal the Black Laws ha
received its quietus. Both the Senate

We have seen no attempt, upon the
part of Mr.. Folks friends, to defend his
reasonable conduct, in supplying the
enemy with skillful General. Why is
this2 We would suppose that those vio-
lent opposers oftreason and traitors would
either attempt to defend their master
from all imputations ofrendering"aid and
comfort" to the enemy, or else, if they
cannot do this, condemn his treason.
But they do neither and were we not
charitably disposed, we should accuse
them of hypocrisy. Perhaps some Of
them will afford US the information we
desire and explain to us why it is that an
individual, who says the war is unjust
commits greater crime than one who
gives up to the enemy their most experien
ced commander; in other words, explain
to US the reason why they reverse the ole
adage that factions speak louder thar
words"
