acknowledging call from Major MCCULLOUGH on
his passage through that city route to Washing

tuity Of the peace made with the MormOns, unless
the Government keeps at Salt Lake City strong
military force-say from 1900 to 1000 men. In
regard to the population of the MOrmOns, the Ma.
jor estimates it at about $4,000. They could bring
into the field about 1000 fighting men, of whom
some 700 are excellent troops and efficient noun.

man to advise him-te stand between him and God
from whom alone he took his oOunsels. 1t is Major

1858.

This action was brought by the defendant in error
against the plaintiffs in error, in the Common Law
Court of Memphis under the act Of 1872, Oh. II,
which provides-"Thst when the death Of one is
caused by the wrongful act or omission Of another
the personal representative of the former may main
tain an action against the other,-if the former
might have maintained an action, had he lived
against the latter for injury caused by the same
act or omission; and the amount recovered is to be
for the exclusive benefit Of the widow and next of
kim to be distributed TO them in the same proper
ions as the personal property Of the deceased per-
son"
StapletOn, the deceased, came to his death as al
legged, by the of poisonous liquid called "tinc-
ture OF yellow JSssamne," sold 10 him, by the neg
hgence and mistake of the Clerk eff the Plaintiffs in
error, (who druggists and spotheoaries in the
city OF Memphis) as, and for, "good Whiskey." He
died, leaving widow and one infant child surviving
him, for whose benefit this suit was brought by the
Administrator of his estate
At the tral term, the plaintiff obtained leave Of
the Court TO amend the summons and declaration by
striking out the words-"for the use of the widow
and child of the deceased"-and inserting instead
hereoffo the use of the of kin Of the deceden"
emitting the widow.
And on the trial of the cause, the widow was ex-
amined as witness in behalf of the plaintiff: bav-
ing previously, in open court executed an instru.
ment under seal, by which she purports to release
ana uoes release relnquish, set over and entirely
renounee, all right, title or claim" she had. or
might have, TO any part of the damages or Judgment
that might he recovered in the pending suit or in
any other suit, that might be brought for the recov-
cry Of damages, against the defendants or either of
them, ior or on account Of their connection with the
transaction which caused the death of her husband
Verdict and judgment for $500 90 were rendered
in favor Of the plaintiff; and the defendants prose.
euted an appeal in error 10 this Court.
The general ground Of error relied on, is the sd-
mission Of the widow q witness in the cause. In
support Of this objection, vario4s considerations
have been suggested.

TIE PREsIDBBT's RESPONSE TO TEE QUEEE.-The
Baltimore Sun says the Presidents response to the
Qaeen is an admirable paper: ''As it will, in ali
probability, spite of censorship find its way all over
Europe, we think tits likely to be the most inuen-
tssl and universal Presidents message of modern
times. The ejscultOry passage is made to blend in
harmonious association the cardinal principles Of
humanity, and they put before the world in the
order of their quelity and mporanee-religiOn,
civilization, liberty and law. Religion must under
lie all human progress. Without religion We cannot
have civilization without civilization We cannot
hsve liberty; without liberty we cannot have just
and equal laws. There is hOmily within this ea5>
Glishe text which Europe may deal with as she can
''Talk Of grensdes, forsOoth President Buchan-
an has flung something infinitely more obnoxious to
despotism into the midst of Europe than the gren-
AIDES of Orsini if the people only knew how, and
had the opportunity to use it. But this message
has to undergo the supervision and scrutiny of men
who may be prompt to detect the vital republeansm
80 adrOitly and suspiciOusy tucked away under the
smooth phrases Of President Buehanan, and then
it will be fortunate thing for the presumptuOus
thor Of 50 fragrant design upon despOtism that he
is on this side Of the water. He may bless his
stars that he yet fOurshes in safety under the ban
of his country, where he snap his fingers at
fretful aud jealous Imperialism and carry on sub
oceanic Irritation with the British Queen. And
long may it wave"
