Interesting Law Case.

The special correspondent of the Louisville
"Courer" writes, under date of Frankfort, Dec.
49, 1861, as follows:
"The argument in the great case of Slack ct al.
vs. the Maysville and Lexington Railroad Com
pany was commenced on Tuesday and closed on
Thursday of this week. 1t was argued by the
Hon. Ben Hardin and Hon. Thomas f. Marshall
for Slack ct al, and by Henry Waller, esq.,, and
Hon. Geo. Robertson for the company.
"The charter of the company was approved
March A. 1850, and an amendment February IL,
1851 The company was authorized, by giving a
prescribed notice, to have an order from the
county court of Mason, providing for vote Of
the people of the county on the proposition to
subscribe $150,000 to the capital stock; and in
the event of vote in it's favor, it becomes the
duty of the court to make the order of subscrip-
ton, and to provide for its payment by direct
tax, or by loan, upon terms at its discretion.
The vote resulted in favor Of the proposition !;
the subscription was made, the bonds of the
county were issued, delivered to and accepted by
the company in payment Of the subscription, and
tax levied to pay the interest. The petitioners
filed petition in equity to enjon the taxes as
sessed upon them; the circuit judge refused the
prayer and dismissed the petition, from which
decision the petitioners appealed"
After stating the argument of counsel, the
writer concludes:
'tIt is expected that a decision will be render
ed as soon as the other duties and business of
the court will permit"

Fire i'm the Capitol

letter published in tho New York "Tribune"
says:
'The negligence of the watch is unspeakably
inexcusable But who expects the people about
the Capitol to do anything but plunder the gov
ernment? We shall have investigation and a
report, but this will be but cold comfort"
The charge of g negligence of the watch" thus
made is indeed inexcusable The writer, doubt
less, heard something in the rumors Of the day,
which, in his opinion, authorized him to make it.
prevail but it is now fully known that the watch
were in no wise culpable The fire did not orr
ginate in any neglect agency of theirs, and
could not have been prevented by them in the
discharge of any duty pertaining to them.
Such is now admitted to be the fact and it is
no more than an set of sheer justice to Mr.. Dun
nington, the efficient and gentemanly captain of
the watch, to say, that to his presence of mind,
and prompt and active energy, are we indebted
for the preservation of the main building; for,
seeing that it was impossible to arrest the flames
in the room in which it originated and that the
engines could not be brought to play upon the
fire in time to prevent its spreading to the prin-
cipal dome, he caused the copper to be torn from
the connecting woodwork, and despatched mes
sengers to purchase buckets and ropes, with
which he arrested the progress of the flames.
The police of the Capitol are men in humble
life, but we know them to be polite, attentive and
vigilant in the discharge Of their duty By an
extraordinary effort they have saved the Capitol,
and deserve our thanks instead of censure. We
trust mat the srTribune" win have pleasure In
doing them justice.
In this connexion it is proper that we should
speak in terms of unmeasured commendation of
the several fire companies of this city. Most of
them had been called up early in the night to a
fire which consumed Bakers Hotel and yet they
Immediately repaired to the Capitol, and labored
without intermission until the necessity for labor
had ceased. is worthy of further remark, that
although prompt in the discharge of their duty,
and possessing, in common with the fremen in
other cities, the esprit du corps which has led to
such unpleasant collisions elsewhere, the firemen
of Washington are no less remarkable for their
courtesy and gentlemanly intercourse with each
other than for the alacrity and efficiency with
which they discharge their duty as firemen

railroad depot, and along the line of the Avenue,
by which he was TO pass AS soon as he had
entered Browns Hotel the cheering without in

forth and receive their applause of welcome. He
accordingly appeared, after few moments, and

of the City, and other gentlemen, waited upon
him and offered him every appropriate attention
