THE SPURIOUS STOCK.

The opinion appears to be gaining ground that
the N. Y. & N. H. Railroad Company cannot be
made legally liable to assume the spurious stock
lately fabricated by Mr.. Schuyler, the Transfer
Agent. The following remarks on this subject
are from the American Railroad Journal:
As Transfer Agent of the New York and New
Haven Railroad, Mr.. Schuyler had duty to per-
form, simply ministerial in its character. He
had no authority to raise, nor did he pretend that
he was raising money for the Company. The
lender on his fraudulent certificates did not sup
pose that he was dealing with the Company,
through Schuyler, as Agent. They were dealing
with Schuyler as principal. Had he assumed to
act as Agent, he could not have sold the first
share, as it would have at once been known that
he acted without authority. What he was Offer
ing was simply stolen property. Now we appre-
bend that storekeeper, or watchman, without
any other authority than the mere guardianship,
cannot acquire by theft, and convey a competent
title to the property under his charge. Possession
may be evidence of title, but, as is well known,
is only prima facie evidence, and may be rebutted
by showing it to be wrongful; SO that the purcha-
ser may, and often does, buy in good faith of the
man having apparent title, without acquiring one
The old maxim of cdveat en.ptor, has as wide and
general application as the one quoted at the COM
mencement of this article.
For the Principal to be bound by his Agent,
scope Of his usual and acknowledged Office,
or duty; and the contracting party must suppose
himself to be dealing with the principal, through
the Agent. Now, MIR. Schuyler had not, nor did
he assume to have authority to issue stock on be-
half Of the Company, nor did the purchasers of
his issues suppose that he had, or that they were
dealing with the Company. If he stole the stock
they have acquired no better title than would a
purchaser of horse that had been stolen.
1t appears to us that the holders of the fraudu-
lent issue have not only no remedy, saye against
Schuyler, but that the largest holders of it took
it under circumstances we'll calculated to awaken
suspicion and put them on their guard. The
mere fact of man in Mr.. Schuyler's position,
with enormous contracts on hand, and pressed
for money, as he was known to be, hawking about
the street single certificates of stock, to the
amount of $50O,O0O, or one-sixth of the whole
authorized capital Of the company, was in itself
sufficient evidence of fraudulent possession, and
the parties who took such certificates under such
circumstances, not entitled to look at any one
but Schuyler. Their losses are to be regretted,
but if there is to be loss, we conceive It moro
just that it should fall upon those who received the
stock from Mr.. Schuyler, than upon parties who.
had no fact before them by which it could be in
ferred, that fraud had been committed.

IS NOW-A-DAYS.o

We have fallen upon warlike times. While the
Turk and Cossack are going in for free fight,
Young America envies their alternate triumphs,
and to keep the prestige of his arms before the
world, must display Incompatible valor in cannon
aiding few log houses left defenceless and for
saken. Charles Napier look to your laurels =
Such an achievement as that of Greytown, is
enough to set the whole world, together by the
ears, in mingled wonder, admiration and alarm.
The Commander of Cuba had better pile up his
Notifications. or the Cyane, returning from the
scene of its recent success, may conclude to try
her hand at that lovely Island, and knock, by way
of amusement, all its palaces into undistinguish-
able ruins.
How can there be promotion and prize money
without fighting? Naval men must have military
exercise, and the sound of ten FOUNDER is sweet
er to their ears than melodies from the IEolian
harp. Their souls take delight when the stars
and stripes are nailed to the mast, and they have
unlimited license to pitch into any weaker vessels
that may happen along.
Democratic Presidents have wonderful afIec-
ton for &c Apostolic blows and knocks.' Polk
laid himself up in a sepulchre of glory by the
Mexican war, and Pierce taking in, when falling
from his horse the comfort and spirit of the thing,
has resolved to make his administration distin-
guished above all others, for warlike tributes as
we'll as the pulling Of political ropes. In this he
is emnently successful. The bombardment of
Greytown opens the campaign. What village
shall be knocked down next? Don't all speak at
once for it would MT pay to have the matter ended
before all the Nebraska men had been promoted.
Future historians will write down the events of
these days as amusing evidences of progress of
the spirit of peace and republican Empire
With pride and pleasure will men of all time
speak of our Naval victory, declare that it was
greater than Nelson ever dreamed of, commence
rate by euogy, monument, and sound of trumpet.
Don't give up the ship" 'we have met the en-
emy, and they are ours"
