Fiery Of v ashington county, in letter
to the Editor of The Clearsprtng Whig,

that Mr.. Jenifer had some other than
the reasons assigned by him for decln-
ing to vote for Scott. He told Sellers
he would vote for Scott, and here IS
the conclusion of Mr.. Fiery's letter:
"lbe circumstances are simply these:
Soon after the organization OF the
Convention, the !ion. Daniel Jenifer
came to me IN my seat and informed me
that his Wing friends intended to place
his name before the Convention as a
candidate for E!ector, and that il would
afford HIM great pleasure to serve the

ing fully aware of his partiality towards
Alessrs Webster and Fillmore, | thea
asked him if, in case neither of these
should receive the nomination of the
Wing National Convention and the
honor should be conferred upon Gener-
al Scott, he would support him as the
nominee OF the Wing party. He reph-

the language several times with an en-

Judge Gibson, in case tried at Pittsburg be-

OF the Ere Railroad the price of an animal

The sound doctrine that 'an owner OF cattle.

to the company or lis Servants; and that he is
liable for damage done by them 10 the cumpa nv
or the passengers" The Court below had
given different judgment, but the common
sense and legal knowledge OF Judge Gibson Put
the matter right. He says:--"The irrespon Il
bilty OF railway company for all but negli-
gence or Wanton injury, is a necessity OF its crpa-
ton. train must make the time necessary to
fulfil It's engagements with the post office and

and the paramount affairs Of the public would
be postponed to the petty concerns of the inii-

lawful, mschievous, and abateable at the cost
OF the owner Of it, without regard to his igno-
rance or intention. The lives Of Human beings
are not to be weighed in the same scales with
the lives of Il farmers or a grazcr's stock, and
their preservation is not to be left TO the care
which a man takes of his uncared for cattle.

Repairing the COnH House.--In the statement
OF the levy of county taxes for the current year,
found on the first page, it will be observed that
five hundred dollars have been levied for re-
pairing the Court House. The repairs propos-
! ed are a complete re-modelling of the Court
room. A few years ago, Gen. Sutherland, whose
death is elsewhere mentioned in t0-day's paper,
stated in lecture in our Court House, that it
was builIng calculated to demoralizc and
make rowdlcs of the people, who from time TO
time met in it in public assemble yes. Unaucs-
tionahly, order could never be maintained IN it
during the Stttngs of the Cont. Or at other
times when crowd were called together there.
Very few could, at hest, be seated, and when
seated outside The bar, were so far below where
business was going on that they would not stay
seated, ana the consequence was. an everlasting
Jam about the railingS, and climbing up on
everything that could be reached. when anything
interesting was being transacted. Though not
IN time for the court about to commence, we
sincerely hope such repairs NAV be made in the
court room as Will accommodate the peoplc,
preserve order, and facilitate the transaction Of
business.

HARD ur.-The Argus published, a
few days since, letter from George
Moore" renouncing Scott, and giving
in his adhesion to Pierce and King.
George Moore is a Negro who carries
baskets from one Of the Markets in Bal

This was charged upon the Argus
and it says in reply that it knew a
Ro5eu Moore, who served with Scott
in Mexico!

papers of Tennessee, giving circum-
stantal account of the ''aristocratic con-
duct OF Gen. Scott at the hotel of IA Mr.
Taylor, on the stage road from Knoxville
to Raleigh, in the year 1917" Another
statement signed by the same person,
giving an account Of the glorious pros
