SENDING MONEY by MAlL.-An impor
tant decision has lately been made by Chief
Justice Taney of the Supreme Court of the
Union States. The question was whether
money remittcd from debtor to creditor by
mail, and lost in the transit, released the
debtor from tie Obligations Of the debt Tie
Chief Justice decided that the plaintiff hay
ing requested Lis debtor to remit the money,
without specifying or directing how, and the
defendant having complied with the request
by remitting through the mail, AZ was tho
custom with others to do, the debtor would
not be held liable to make good the loss. The
Judge held that all previous decisions to the
contrary were erroneous.

Gerritt Smith and Mr.. Preston.

The first passage of arms, this Session of
Congress, on the Slavery subject, seems to
have been made in the House between mem
bcrs Smith and Preston, as appears from the
reported debate below The occasion was
the proposed reference of the different parts of
the Presidents Message to the appropriate
committees.
Mr.. Smith is gentleman equally we'll
known for the boldness and fea arlessness ofhis
positions on slavery and other social evils,
and the unsparing generosity with which he
dcvotes his time, and the means Of an ample
fortune, to the promotion of whatever, i'll his
view, will work for their amclioratiUn.
Though there was No practical question on
the tapis which his remarks could help to
settle, no one could fail to respect man who,
knowing himself to be a marked object in the
BODY of which he had Just become Il member,
choose the first fair occasion to make known
clearly, and firmly, yet in temperate man.

bcrs and the reply of Mr.. Preston show that
Mr.. Smiths bearing was appreciated bccom-
ingly in the House.
When that great subject the condition of

Discussed from time to time, it must be and

Speeches of Mcssrs. Smith and Preston,

SpeeCneS III MUSES. smith anu I-TestOHs
Mr.. Gcrrit Smith said, as this was the first
time he had had the floor, it might be well
for him to confess in advance, he was in the
habit of imputing errors to men very freely
and he claimed no exemption from errors him
self. lie aboundcd in them, and WAS willing
gentlemen should make rcprisals upon him.
lie hoped that while he held his seat here he
would be in tcachablc posture. The Prcsi-
dents Message fully and warmly indorscd
the conduct Of the Administration in the
matter of Martin koszta. Now he was not
ready to accord great credit to Capt lngra-
ham for his Just determination to rescue
Koszta, and yet he would that Ingraham had
gone one step further he would that lngrI-
ham had insisted on Koszta S being set at abb
solutc liberty he would have left nothing at
that point, to the discretion Of France or the
French Consul, or to the discretion of any
other Government. He would have had him
hold no terms or enter into any treaty with
kidnappcrs. Koszta was a kidnapped Amer
jean citizen AS such the American Govern
ment was bound to set him absolutely free,
but Capt. lngraham represented the American
Government on the occasion, and for that 0c-
casion be was the American Government.
Capt. lngraham was not ready to make war
on Austria, and did not threaten her with
war. Captain lngraham properly had nothing
10 do with Austria, nor with the Austrian
Consul. 1t would have been an insult to
Austria and her authority, had he charged
her with authorizing kidnapping. lie had
only to do with kidnappers who restrained
Koszta's liberty; all he had to do waa to set
him unconditGpally free, and compel them
TO make unconditional surrender of their
prey He knew Koszta was not an American
citizen, but the Secretary Of State argued con
clusiyely in right of international laW--that
he was. He wished Mr., Marcy had gonC

Secretary of State did not positively den,
this. The denial was not need(u for his ar

Ingraham did not violate the rights of Tur
