Philadelphia forCincinnati.
The Court, (Strong, j. held that the de-
PENDANTS are not common carriers except be-
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. They
were under no obligation to carry the plain
tiff beyond the termination Of their route, or
to transport his luggage. 1t is true they re-
ceived the fare forthe whole distance from
Philadelbhia to Cincinnati, and if that were
all, it mightraise presumption ofan agree
ment to carry ovei the entire route between
the two cities. But contemporaneously
with the receipt ofthe fare, and as evidence
of the contract iI1o which they entered,
they gave the plaintiff ticket informing
him that they assumed no responsibility for
his carriage, and If course for the carriage
of his luggage, beynd Pittsburgh. They no.

A CHANGE OF BAsE.-The individual,
who recently wrote letter explanatory of
the Poor House report has come to the
conclusion that letters of explanation are
not his forte. He has now fallen back upon
his dignity and appeals to the public for
a vindication of his character. We think
that with his report and letter of explana-
ton before them, the public will have no
great difficulty in making up their verdict.

JEFF DAVIS SPECIE LOST. Colonel
Clark of the Rebe army, who was captured
by one of our scouting parties while endeay-
oring to escape finn Richmond on one of
the last trains from the doomed city, asserts
that he was in chage of all the specie which
was removed from Richmond that when
his train broke doFn, and he found it inn
possible to get it ol the track and off again,
and seeing our tolces approaching, he or
deredi it set on fiie, and that all his efforts
to save the spetie were unavaing that
the soldiers broke open tie kegs, and amid
the excitement and tumult, soldiers and cit
izensappropriateC all there was. He asserts
that he knows that no other amounts ofspe
Gle, not in the pockets OF It's owners, were
taken from Riehnond, and that this lot was
all stolen. He states urther that the
amount haslbeen vastly oyer-estimated, oy and
confirms the statement heretofore made by
General Grant, that it amounted only to
about $200,000 Colonel Clark was on old
regular army officer, previous to the break
ing out of thewal, and is a near relative of
one of our most distinguished naval officers
to whom he communicated the above state
ments. Hei still a prisoner in our hands,
and his truthfulness is not doubted by any.
