I WARRINGTON, April PAP M.l--At meet
ing Of the Pacific Railroad Committee, Mr..
Phipps submitted resolutions for A single
route, on the 38th parallel, with the condition
that If this was not accepted, the Road should
not go South OF the 35th, or North Of the lst.
Mr.; Kellogg proposed an amendment, en-
bodying Mr. Curtiss proposition substantially
as the basis, with some notifications. Mr.
Winter Davis offered proposition. laying
down three points rs descriptive of the gem
eral olrectlon OF a route, viz: st. Joseph,
bridger Pass and San Francisco, with the
outline of bill to incorporate company 70
build road. After discussing these various
plans, the Committee adjourned till tomorrow
evening, on Mr. Fenton's motion, with the
understanding that decisive vote should
then be taken on route, form Of bill, and
general plan. M
Dispatches have been received from Captain
Jarvis, at the Navy Department, hclosing
communications addressed 10 him by tho
commanding officers Of the French and Span
ish ships Of war at Vera Cruz, inquiring un-
| der what law of nations he captured the
Mexican steamers. He declined giving them
| any reply, but referred them to the authorities
| here for an answer. This question Is likely
| TO prove embarrassing hereafter, because the
| Administration now asserts as a right what
| was emphatically denied when claimed by
England, in the Gulf two years ago.

published an appeal to the people Of Madison
County against the Revolutionary Committee
of that county, FROM whom he escaped de-
nounoement by small majority on last
Tuesday, and who were to consider his case
again yesterday. n. fHIT :. fH.
He says he advised Hanson and associates
to leave that he has discountenanced the
radicals; but if Republicans are attacked they
will defend themselves. hr,' .lh H.Lsaf
His appeal embraces letter signed by
Frank Bland and George Haley, in which
they say that the troubles did not originate
about Hanson, but because George West, SICK
with consumption, was maltreated, and Vests
daughter insulted with gross language.
Mr.. Clay concludes; "You may be strong
enough to overpower me, but you can NOT
drive me from the duty which owe to my.
self to my friends and to my country. II

LAW REPORT.



RAILROAD INJuNcTioN CAsE.-R. Hosea and
others Us. The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Company and others.
Judge Storer delivered an opinion in this
case. The plaintiffs suing for themselves and
others, owners of property adjoining Front
street, ask to have the defendants restrained
from laying down a railroad track on that
thoroughfare.
The points passed upon were as follows:
That those who own property bounding on
the streets, have, in virtue of the title they
derive from the city, who is the trustee, the
right to compel her to prevent the use from
being perverted.
This track claimed to occupy the whole
front of the city from Deercreek to Millcreek
many of the largest wholesale concerns
were situated in the locality, and employed
vehicles of q structure wholly inconsistent
with the use of the track. '
The contract alleged pledge by the Rail-
road Companies not to permit their freight
trains to run on the track in summer or win
| ter, except aftea sunset but this was an eva
sion, as the vernal and autumnal months
which occupied at least half the year, were
not provided for.
Again. There was no legal acceptance Of
| the proposition by the Ohio and Mississippi
Company, as it was merely signed by the
Vice-President and Secretary, and did not ap.
pear to have the sanction of the Board of Di
| rectors.
Propositions were made by the City t
other companies beside the Ohio and Missis
sippi to use the track-a four feet nine incl
track from the Little Miami Depot, whicl
they could not use. ......-
The Court was of the opinion, under al
the circumstances, that the Injunction SHOULD
be granted. This injunction bond was ixeC
at $50, 900. ...IH.
