SETTLED.-In the third Congressional
district of North Carolina, lately repre-
sented by Mr.. Barringer, we are pleased
to see that the conflict between the claims
of several wing candidates, which threat
ened to defeat the success of the wings,
has been finally settled. The difficulty
has been happily removed by nominating
former whig member, Edward Deberry,
(the former candidates assenting, which
will secure the election of whig in the
district.

A SUGGESTION IN RELATION TO THE
NATIONAL MONUMENT.

A correspondent of the sNational In
telligencer" makes the following sugges-
ton for raising the necessary funds to
complete the Washington Monument.
The suggestion is good one, simple in
its operation, and we trust, may be carried
into effect.
at is this: That the Legislatures of
all the States be applied to for an appro-
pnation in exact proportion of the popu-
lation of their respective States. If we
suppose $500,O0O be required to erect
tie Monument, and about 100000 to
have been raised already, it will leave
| 100000 more to be obtained; which,
estimating the population of the United
States in round numbers at 2O,OO0,O 900,
will require precisely two cents from
every man, woman and child to make
the 100000. Is there State in the
Union that would not cheerfully make
such an appropriation? do not believe
there is. A State with a population of
$4,000, Maryland for example, would
be required to appropriate only $4,000;
and as only a tenth part of this would
be wanted annually, ($5O,O00 being as
much as can be expended judiciously
each year. upon the Monument,) it would
be the merest trife for each State to give.
This plan would be peculiarly a1,pro-
praate, because it would make every in
dividual throughout our vast country a
direct contributor to the Monument,
which cannot possibly be done by private
contributions; because, owing to the scat
tered state Of the population in many
States, the majority of the inhabitants
can never be reached; In this way. TO-,
we would avoid the uncertainty. vexaton
and delay inseparably connected with a
dependence upon voluntary contributions.
1t would be noble spectacle to see
the thirty States forming this great Re-
public uniting thus, with heart and hand,
to do honor to its Illustrious Founder"

It is related of Kossuth that he paid a
visit to the Jewish Synagogue at Gross
wandem while the Israelites were at
praver. After the service was over, he
addressed them in his peculiar style, and
requested forgiveness. in the name OF the
nation, for the unjust acts done and
burdens imposed upon their race during
so many centuries; he thanked them for
their bravery and devotion to the public
cause, and gave them solemn assurance
that from henceforth the law would ac-
knowledge no distinctions between in
dividuals based upon difference Of re-
ligious belief.

LIABILITY OF PUBLIC CARRIERs.-T III

LIABILITY OF PUBLIC CARRIERS The
courts of this country invariably hold pub
lie carriers to be liable for the safety of all
property entrusted to them. The follow
ing case, however, presents few points
of nice distinction, and should be diligentz
ly conned by all travellers and travelling
agents. 1t came on before the District
Court of Philadelphia, on the 30th ult.,
and appears on the docket as Baldauf US.
the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com
pany:
The action was brought to recover
damages for the contents of a passengers
trunk, which was placed in the usual
baggage car and which contained mon-
ey. The plaintiff, it appears, paid for
extra freight, but failed to inform the COM
pany's agent that there was money i'll the
trunk. The question was, whether the
plaintiff could recover for the money lost
The defendants proved the usual newspa-
per notice, limiting their responsibility for
the baggage, which the court disregarded,
it not being shown that the plaintiff knew
of the notice or had seen it. They also
relied upon the notice on the passengers
ticket, which the court said applied only
to cases of loss by accident. The defen-
ants counsel argued that although they
would be liable for the ordinary contents
of trunk, they could not be made
responsible for unusual and valuable
articles, such as money, jewels, &C., un-
less they had notice, and it was proved
that such notice had not been given.
The court gave judgment for the plaintiff
on the ground that the charging and re-
ceiving extra freight for the baggage
was sufficient evidence of the defendants
knowledge of the contents of the trunk.
