Our government is government Of laws

Of men, that set the laws at defiance. are
traitors to free government, and ought to be
brought to answer for their crimes with al
the efficiency and energy placed in the hands
OF the Executive power. The conduct of q
mob that haze disgraced the name Of citizens
in the destruction of public works, on the

condemnation of all law abiding people, and
think it is the duty of this community, TO

Judge Mclean recently made decision
in the Z. s. District Court, held at India
napolis, which rather conflicts with the
claims Of Kentucky and Virginia to exc usive
jurisdiction of the Ohio river to low water
mari L, in States bordering it on the north
The case in which the question Of jurisdic-
ton arose, was, as to the validity of wri,
from Kentucky Court but served on wharf
boat attached to the Indiana shore. Judge
Mclean gave the following decision:
The case Of Yeager VS.. Roe, to which We
alluded yesterday, was taken up in this Court
and after some time spent in the examina-
ton, which was chiefly devoted to showing
that the place where the writ from the Ken.
lucky Court was served, was above low WI
ter-nark in Indiana Judge Mclean gave his
instruction to the jury, which we think OF SO
much Importance that We present an abstract
of it as nearly as we can recollect il.
The Judge said this was a most important
case, and no understanding the apparan; trivi-
ality OF the examination involved some
questions of the greatest magnitude. 1t eff
fected the commerce OF every State north oil
the Ohio, bordering upon it. That stream
rom its source TO its mouth was probably
1900 miles long, and about one-foruth of the
internal commerce of the country amounting
to $4,000 900 was carried upon it. The
commerce of Cincinnati alone was 5 l00, 000,-
600. And the question in this case con-
trolled the whole of that vast sum. For
said he, if Kentucky and Virginia own to
low water mark on the North side of the
river, they own all the wharves, improve
ments and property below that line, with all
the power of taxation and control that any
State possesses over the property within her
| limits.
He saidit had always been his opinion
that this question OF jurisdiction over navig-
able streams between bordering States should
not be decided upon narrow technical grounds
but upon broad national reasons. The Ohio
was a national stream, and the commerce
upon it belonged 10 the nation, not to Ken
lucky or Virginia. 1t was legislated for Che
should rather have said, looking at the way
improvement bills are vetoed, not legislated
for) by the National Government, and its
jurisdiction determined by national con-
sideration.
The Judge than alluded very briefly to the
ground upon which this claim of jurisdiction
was based, and concluded by instructing the
| jury that if they found that the wharf boat.
upon which the defendant was standing
when served with process was attached to
the Indiana shore, they should find that the
service was within the State of Indiana, and
therefore of no validity.

A Pub,,c Calamity.

But few cilizens are prepared to appreciate
the great misfortune al the present time upo1
certain business interests Of this city, of the
recent outrages upon the works of the Wa
bash end Erie canal, by lawless mob OF
beings. We had but just begun to learn and
value the importance of this canal. Indeed,
until very lately it has been almost valueiess
to US as a community. But the'last two or
three months, steady stream of produce has
been pouring into Evansville through this
channel of trade, with return tide OF g
ceries and other articles required to supply
the country from Evansville to Lafayette
Warehouses and new firms have been start.
ed here to accommodate this business
and the Canal had certainly got to be looked
upon as new river of trade and commerce,
and at last reliable. Our collectors books
exhibit that last month the tolls collected
here amounted to Sl,069. This month
would have witnessed very heavy increase.
There is large amount Of produce now
up the Canal awaiting shipment, and guam.
titles of groceries, etc., here to 60 up
But everything has been brought to a
stand-stll-the produce cannot be taken to
market---country merchants cannot get
their stocks-cvntracts are broken--many
boats are laid up and men thrown out oil
business-great interests affecting seriously
whole communities are sacrifced-and al
because few poor depraved and malicious
rufiaUs imagine that a reservoir of pure wa
ter in a certain place does not conduce tc
the he alth of their neighborhood! And in
their malice they have taken the very bes,
plan to make that of real injury to the
health of the country which before wac only
suspected of being so.
But we have not the space nor patience
to speak further on this subject. We agree
with our correspondent, that q meeting
should be held on the subject of these out
RACES, and to give the influence OF this com.
munity toward assisting the Governor, physi-
cally il necessary, in any prompt and ef-
fectual action he may take in the premises.

JUDICIAL DEcIsroSs.-The Supreme Court
OF Indiana has decided that whenever a
person shall die from an injury resulting
the negligence or unskllfulness of any of
the officers or servants of railroad com pany,
or the inefficiency of their bridges, cars, or
locomotives, action for damages cannot be
instituted by the wife or minor children, but
by the administrator. The same court has
decided that railroad companies are not liable
for the destruction OF stock running at large
at the crossing of public road, when the
injury is done without negligence, inasmuch
as the company would have no authority
TO fence up the road.
