IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECIsIoN-An impor.
tant legal decision was made in the Erie county,
Ohio, Common Pleas, before Judge Fitch, at its late
term. 1t was in the case of Henry Grinnell and
others, trustees of the Sandusky, Mansfield and
Newark Railroad Company. The points decided
were as follows
First, That Railroad Company, authorized to bor.
row money for the construction Of its road has as an
incident to that power and without an grant
in Its charter, the power to secure such loan by
mortgage.
Second, That mortgage of the road and it's in
come, Is IN effect, mortgage also of the rdnchis.s
OF the company, and upon sale of the road under
the mortgage, the franchises cH pass to the purcha
Third, That where two or more Railroad Comma.
nies become suited and Consolidated into one compa.
ny, unoer the of Ohio and such ORIGINAL com
panies had prior TO the consolidation given mortgages
on their respective roads, the rights and liens of the
respective must be respected and preserved
due regard being had to the consolidation.
Fourth That ffter such consoldstio no one of the
mortgages upon the original roads be enforced py
separate sale of its original line, but all such oris
nal mortgages must be enforced by ssle of the CON
sodated roads and the respective liens on the parts
be adjusted the distribution of the proceeds of the
whole upon the report of master to give each
mortgage SO much of the proceeds may be estima-
ted to arise from the part covered by its lien.
TIE SanduSky Register says: Probably no
delivered in the West for the last ten years
involves more important principles of law" than
does that above noted. For ourselves, we much
question the soundness of the opinion of this Com
mon Pleas Judge, especially on that point which
declares the mortgage on road and its income is
also mortgage ON the Company's franchises -
This has long been mootsd question among dis
tinguished jurists, and one that Courts have stu.
dously avoided for years. An immense deal of
property in this country is involved in the ques
ton. There is scarcely railroad company in the
Union that has not Issued mortgage bonds, aud if
the Courts at some time declare that the corpo-
rate privileges are not subject TO mortage lien,
and that the mortgage covers only the rails, iron,
cars, &c, which may be sold and removed, leav-
ing the company the privilege of substituting
their place with new, the value of such security
will be seen to be very materially deprecated. 1t
will probably be well if the highest judicial tri-
bunas shall sustain this decision of the Erie
county Common Pleas Judge. Its reversal would
create much CONSERVATION in one of the largest
interests representing the moneyed capital of the
country, and might materially affect the price of
the description of securities in question.
THE ATTACK ON MR. BUELL. AT CINCINNATI
The Cincinnati papers give several versions of
the affair in which George P. Buell. Esq. editor
city. A gentleman, who was in company with
Mr.. B. at the time, furnishes the Commercial with
the following statement:
man, apparently crazy, was speaking to a
crowd of men and boys from pile of Stone
Buell., good naturedly assisted the speaker in get
ting the attention of the crowd, and afterwards
made speech. man in the crowd asked him
who are you? He answered I am an Ameri-
can' The person in the crowd frequently inter-
rupted Buell. and finally went towards him, and
oil
ed contradiction that he committed in his speech
They came to blows and fJught through the crowd
across the street, when they were SEP Grated, and
Buell. was taken into the Burnett House, and
found to be stabbed in two or more places, the
most serious being through the shoulder into the
lung. In his speech, Buell. was extremely hHbus-
terish, and irrtated his opponent by what he sup
posed to be reflections upon Mr. Buchanan.
Another witness of the affair informs the Com
mercial that when he saw Mr.. Buell. he was ad-
dressing the crowd, and was very severe on abo-
litonists and Know Nothings and that the subject
under discussion when the fight commenced was
Know Nothingism. The man who quarreled with
him resented the remarks about Know Nothings,
and disputed Buelfs assertion that he was an
American and persisted in interrupting him,
until Buell. stopped from bis position on the stone
pile and saying, I'll settle this, struck the man,
whereupon q general rush and an exciting row en-
sued Buell. seemed to have the better of his an
tagonist and it is presumed the man who stabbed
him as not the one with whom he had the light
Buell. did not know that he was stabbed until
washing himself in the gents washroom at the
Burnett some one saw the blood on his back. he
speedily became faint, and Drs. Wood and Black
man being called, probed the wound, and found
that it had been inflicted with large knife, and
was deep, having entered the lungs. 1t was thought
that he was bleeding inwardy, and the wound
doubtless a very dangerous one.
Two arrests have been made Mr.. Bneli Is 81
years of age, and native of Indiana. OF whose
Legislature he was at one time a member
