HE "MAINE' Law IN RHODE IsLAND.-The
following is an extract from the opinion of Judge
Ptman, of the district court, in the Rhode Island
liquor case, In the trial of which he associated
with Judge Curtis. 1t will be seen that in the
opinion of Judge Ptman it is unlawful and un
constitutional to destroy liquors without giving the
owner the right of trial by jury This opinion is
one OF much importance. Should the Supreme Court
coincide with Judge Pitman in any which
may be carried before it, the decision would not
only be fatal to one of the most important provi.
sions of the liquor law, but would also make the
States which have adopted the law liable for all
liquors illegally destroyed.
"The Legislature has no right, by an act, to con-
tscate the property of the citizen; it may be for
feted by violation of law, but this must be done
without affecting the rights of the owner thereof

appear to be 80 much for the suppression of drink
ing houses and tipping shops, as it's title would

ting iiquors-because they may be injurious to the
community. But those who draughted the law no |
doubt knew that this could not be done without |
making compensation to the owner thereof. IA the
constitution of Rhode Island, and most of the State
constitutions provide that private property cannot

To PREyrNr CoII1slons ON RAIlRoAps.-A

To PREVENT COLLISIONS ON RAILROAD s.-A cor
respondent suggests the propriety that every rail-
road company have regular line of telegraph on
the line of their roads; and at every important
station there should also be telegraph station to
communicate each way the arrival of train. In
this way it can be known when train started,
and its progress; and the train coming in an op
posite direction may know when and where to
meet it. In this way collisions may be at all times
prevented. Those roads having only single
track should by law be required to have such
ment would give security to the travelling public
and would'i the end be a great saving benefit to
the companies. The annual destruction OF engines
and freight and passenger cars would defray the
of the lives and broken and crushed limbs thai
would also be saved.-Neic York Tribune

!, FREE Banning IN INDIANA.-The Indianapolis
Journal Gays that bill has been introduced into
the Senate, instructing the Auditor and Secretary

the establishment of banks under the law of last
winter. The reason for this movement is, that Il
is understood that Wall street operators re about
securing charters for banks in great many OF the
counties, Tor the purpose of using the money in
new York, and not to do a legitimate banking
business within the State
me proposed bill ia intended as a suspension
until the Legislature shall have time to perfect
some amendments to the general banking law.
We suppose some legislation will take place. but
cannot tell what it will be.

CULTIVATION OF TEA.-The Providence Journal,
referring to the death of DR.. Junius Smith, Says
I'VE felt much interest in the experiment which
DR.. Smith was making upon the tea plant, and
kept our redders advised Of his progress. which
from time to time he reported in the Journal of
Commerce. He had demonstrated the feasibility OF
cutivating the plant in the latitude of South Car
DINA; but his experiment had not been on a sufi
Gent scale to show that it might be done with
profit. Now that there is prospect Of Chinese
immigration, the experiment becomes doubIy in
teresting, and we hope that one will be found
to carry it on.''

MI. EVERETT was accordingly selected. A
motion was then made that the nomination of
Mr.. EVERETT be declared unanimous, and it
was passed without dissenting voice.
This, it is considered, secures Mr.. EVER
Err's election. We think, therefore, that we
may, without improperly, quote the following
remarks of Wing papers out of Massachusetts
in relation to this subject. The Providence
Journal says
"Perhaps it may be thrown in our teeth that we
might better attend to our own Senatorial vacancy
and leave that of Massachusetts, to those who have
| the responsibility of it, But when such man as
Edward Everett stands before the country, we
cannot avoid the feeling that every citizen Of the
| United States has an interest in the matter The
author of the letter upon the triparte proposition
ought not to be permitted to retire from the public
service. The country is not so rich in great men
that he can be spared. We have no doubt that the
| Wings in the Legislature of Massachusetts, will
settle this question in the best way; but without
disparagement to the clams of any other man, we
hope, for the sake of the whole country, that the
selection may fall upon so eminently fitted to
| adorn and dignity the place.
The Alexandria Gazette thus expresses its
| desire Of Mr.. EvERErr's election
"We sincerely hope that Mr.. Everett may re-
ceve the honor from his native State and that we
may see him in the Senate after the 4th of March
next. He is an able man, and as accomplished as
he is able The States ought all to send their best
men to the Senate. That important body is every
! year acquiring additional consequence, and we
should rejoice to its seats filled up by ripe ex
perienced statesmen, dignifed in their deport
ment, and lovers of their country'a best interests
rather than regardful of the petty concerns of
party

How THE APPROACH OF AN EARTHQUAKES MAY BE
KNowN.-The recent occurrence of earthquakes in
Cuba and elsewhere has thrown around these ter
ritc natural phenomena an immediate and per-
sonal interest. Hitherto no means have been
pointed out for indicating the approach of an
earthquake, as we, by means of the barometer,
derive indication Of the approach of storm This
desideratum would, however, now appear to have
been supplied. M. Rati-Menton, a gentleman
connected with the French diplomatic corps in the
Argentine republic, has recently communicated
to the Paris Academy of Sciences, by letter adj
dressed to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs
sure means OF learning the approach Of an earth
quake. According to this gentleman, the earth
quake indicator is nothing more than a magnet,
to which is suspended, by magnetic attraction, a
little fragment of iron. Shortly before the occur
renee OF an earthquake, the magnet temporarily
loses Its power, and hence the iron falls. Accord
ing to M. Rat- Mention, the accuracy of this in
dicatlve sign has been thoroughly tested by
highly educated Argentine officer, Colonel Espi
nosa, during residence of many years at Ariqtui-
Pa-a region where earthquakes are very frequent.
Independently of the authority of the communica-
ton, arising from the responsibility of its commu.
nisator, and from it's being published in the traps-
actions of the French Academy of Sciences, the
RESULT nothing more than might have been sus
pected, from theoretical Considerations of the al
lance between electricity and magnetism A dis.
turbance of electric power has long been known
to be associated with earthquakes Exchange.
