papers.


The following racy article in the Independ-
ent, from Mr.. Beechpr will be quite satisiac-
tory TO those editors who are most concerned:
"lnsatiale Editor, would not ttoo suffice"
We had always supposed that absurd sto-
ries grew in this vicinity like weeds in the
tropics, or trees planted by The rivers. For
once however, the country newspapers have
got ahead of our neighborhood. We have
made diligent search; taken the census; ex-
amined every cradle, drawer, closet, nook
and corner, and are prepared TO affirm the
following story which has been in the Wind
ham County Telegraph. the Norwich Tri-
bune, Springfield Republican, Boston Chron-
icle, and other papers, TO be an exageration.
"Rev. H. W. Bpecher's lady has present
ed him with FIVE little responsibilities in q
little better than one year; two soon after the
arrival OF Kossuth. and THREE the other day
Twins there were year ago. whose bless
ed faces fill the house with delight. But the
three above mentioned, were born OF those
maternal editors whose brains fulfill tht
prophets words, eye shall conceive cbaff
ye shall bring forth stubble."
We turn these mousing, mongering editor
over to the next woman's rights convention

may amuse their childen with nursery tale

not fit for that, lei them in mercy be boun(

Hats half Chalked.

A body Of gentlemen recently met some
where, dubbed themselves the Railroad
Convention, and proceeded TO regulate mat
tens and things pertaining to railroads. They
considered editors rather a nuisance, we
should judge, and passed resolution that
those who lived along the line of railroads
should hereafter be charged half fare. Had
the convention agreed to charge editors full
price for riding over railroads, the tripod
would have said nothing, for they can MAKE
more than their passage money by charging
companies the regular, legitimate prices fo
printing. But the half price offer is moth,
ing less than an insult, and is so considered
by the fraternity.

Subject for Rebuke,

Not a few Of our best journals have CEN
sured the importance which many weak pol
iticians have Of late exhibited in their pill
grimages to the domestic home of the new
President. The Philadelphia Ledger, OF the
26th, has an article, manly in tone, rebuking
such scenes, in which it says, "it is, TO say
the least Of il, thing of questionable pro-
priety TO intrude upon the grief Of a heart
stricken parent, who is bowed down under q
sudden and overwhelming bereavement, with
any suggestions or solicitations having ref
erence to personal ambitious projects, or po-
litical arrangements. If you, gentlemen
Office seekers, had lost your only child under
circumstances as distressing as those which
attended the recent bereavement of Gen.
Pierce, you would not wish Immediately 10
be beset by those who are scrambling TO out
run their fellows for places Of profit and
power"
1t tadds to this, "Gen. Pierce should be very
suspicious Of the qualifications Of those who
are greedy as hungry wolves for official sta
tions. Depend upon it, they are the last
men who have any claim to considerations
Their professions of patriotism are the rapac'
ity of avarice and the love Of distinctions
their love for the "dear people" the affection
of the vultue, which is only satisfied will
the last drop Of blood. With all their pro
fessions, they are no more to be trusted thar
the willy fox in ancient fable. We have nj
patience with those greedy aspirants who
are pressing their suit with such unbecomine
pertinacity. They are fostering sores, leech'
es upon the body pclitic, and the sooner they
tre made to see that they are understood
sssn through, and properly appreciated, the
betterit will be for all concerned.

RaiIroad LIABILITIES.

A case was lately decided in Marion CO.,
Of importance to farmers living on the line
of Railroads. A suit was brought to recov-
er The value Of six hogs killed by the, loco
motive, when passing at its usual speed on
the track through the farm Of the plaintiff
1t was avered that the engineer could have
seen the hogs, and by lessening the speed
they might have escaped, &c. The follow
ing from the report OF The Law Journal will
present exactly the point decided:
The plaintiffs counsel asked the Court to
charge the jury, that if they were satisfied
from the evidence that the servants of the
Company could, by the exercise of ordinary
care and caution, have so stopped and check
ed the motion Of the train of cars as to have
permitted the escape Of the hogs of the plain
tiff without injury or damage, and that they
did not check or attempt 10 check The speed
of the train Of cars, but continued 10 run
them at their ordinary and unabated speed
by reason Of which the hogs were killed
then, and in that case, the plaintiff was en-,
titled to verdict for the value Of the hogs
which instruction the Court refused to give
but charged and instructed as follows:
First-That the defendant has right t
have the track ofsOid road free from obstruc
ton, SO that the trains may run thereon will
safety, subject to be crossed only on publ,
highways and regular private crossings
therefore,
! Sccoad-That il the jury find from evi
dence that the hogs were upon the road a
other places than The regular crossings whel
killed, then, although the defendant kille,
them when proceeding at usua! and unabate
speed, the plaintiff hath only sustained dam
age and not injury, and the defendant is nc
liable therefor Verdict for defendant

The Kane ExtraditiOn Case-Decision
of the Supreme Court.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 81.

WAsHlNGT0N, Jan. oil.
In The Supreme Court this morning, Judge
Nelson pronounced the decision Of the Court
in the Kane ,xradilion case. The Court
decides that the prisoner is in confinement
under The treaty, md The act Of Congress,
without any lawful authority; because, in
the first place, the judiciary possesses noju
risdiclion TO entertain proceedings under The
authority Of Great Britain, upon The Presi-
dent and bis authority 10 entertain the case

Second. That the Commissioner is no:

gress, upon whom power is conferred 10 hear
and determine upon the question OF crimi-

made.
Third. There was no competent evidence

tion.
Fourth. That the Circuit Court ought to
have discharged the prisoner, instead OF re-
manding him into custody; its decision is,
therefore, proper subject of review by This

The Monroe Doctrine.

Senltor Cass' position relative to the Mon
roe doctrine has beea assaiied by .he Virginia
Senators and Senator Butler, of South Caro-
lima, as we'll as by numerous old whig con-
seryative. They contend thtat the Monroe
Doctrine was only meant TO apply to par
ticular emergency--to prevent Spain and her
allies from re-conquering her former possess
ions on this continent-that the object hav-
ing been attained the doctrine became abso-
lete, as matter Of course, For one we be-
live that President Monroe intended TO lay
down doctrine which should be held TO by
our Government in all times and under all
circumstances; and that, if we would not
permit Spain to acquire possessions on this
continent, neither ought we allow France or
England. If we are to be surrounded by the
possessions oil crowned monarchs it matters
not, in principle, which Of the tyrants holds
them. That the American people view the
matter in this light, we are well satisfied,
and all the arguments Of Senators Mason and
Butler will not convince them that they are
wrong.
II Mr.. Calhoun viewed it differently, ii
only goes to corroborate the assertion which
has often been made, that he was not na-
tional Sts stesman. Mr.. Cass, we believe,
will be able TO prove his position that the
Monroe doctrine was national and general in
its application, BY the historical events Of
days in which it was declared and by numer.
Gus cotemporaneous writers; evidence that
should balance at least, the mere opinion Of
MIR. Calhoun.
