JAMES BELGER. late Captain in the
Union army, brought an action against the
Adams Express Company, to recover the
value Of trunk and its contents, estimated
at $500. The cause came on for trial re-
Gently in the Supreme Court, Circuit, before
Justice Balcolm and jury. One Of the
defences set up was, that in any event the
plaintiff could not recover more than $50,
for the reason that in their receipt Of the
trunk the defendants had expressly stipula-
ted they should not be held for any sum over
that amount unless the contents were made
known to them, and special contract made
between the parties. The court directed the
jury to find verdict for the plaintiff for $50
and interest.

The Irish adopted citizens of Wash
ington, held a largo meeting a few
evening ago, and passed the following
resolution
ReSolved, That tho late maneuvering
Of the Radicals to gain over the votes
Of our fellow-citizens, can only be re-
garded by the latter with ridiculo and
contempt, particularly when it is re-
membered that tho Radicals have al
waYs been the bitter enemies of the
Irish race, and that their leader, Thad
Stevens, only recently declared in a
public speech the negro to be far better
and more deserving than the Irish and
Germans; and that during the last
session they were careful not to con-
sumate any measure for for the benefit
of those whose vote they now aim to
secure. e1 l0r

should Indiana be Turned Out
OF the Union.

The precedent for this, is the exclu-
sion Of Louisiana from the Union, and
the long exclusion of Tennessee, be-
cause of riots in Memphis and New
Orleans These riots were somewhat
bloody and very disgraceful, as were
the New York riots, but as Now York
was Republican, it was never proposed
to exclude the great State from tho
Union, as Louisiana has been excluded
nor should Indiana be driven out OF
the Union, because of riot in India
napolis-with loss of life, in an attempt
to prevent the President of the United
States from being heard there.
The indianapolis riot, nevertheless,
is q very great disgrace to tho Indiana
authorities. III Congress were in ses-
sion, it might be worth the while fol-
lowing tho Memphis precedent, to in
qhire into it. Life has been lost. The
President of the United States has been
endangered, Free speech has been
forbidden, Apublic meeting was broken
up, Banners were torn, and process
sion was disturbed. All this is bad IN
principle, and wose in the moral, than

An inquiry into the antecedents Of
the delegates TO tho Disunion Southern
Convention, lately in session at Phila,
belphia, would probably result in show
ing that very few of them have any
legitimate right to speak for the South,
and especially the loyal South. Thom-
as ]. Durant, of Louisiana, temporary
Chairman OF the Convention, was wo
learn, rampant secessionists at the
outbreak of the rebellion, though
Northern man. J. NJ Field, of Missia-
sippi, was a rebel lieutenant in the ro-
bellion, and is also of Northern birth.
The Colonel Daniel, of Louisiana"
who figures in tho Convention, is a
Massachusetts, Yankee, who went down
to Louisiana for a while in command
Of some negro troops, but who, at the
clos of tho war, left Louisiana and
came to Washington, and while here,
it will be remembered, distinguished
himself by marrying Mrs. Cora v.
Hatch, the somewhat noted spiritual

There is much inquiry as 70 how
General Grant stands IN the contest
between the President and the Jaco-
bins { The sympathy which he. svinees
for the former, by accompanying him
to Chicago, and beng present at the
reception Of the delegates tothe Phila-
delphia Convention, ought to satisfy
every one that he is not with the Rad

port, made TO the President, last. Do

of inspection there for that purpose:
"Both in travelling and while stop

who have been among them. The fol.
lowing are tho conclusions como TO
by me:
"I am satisfied Chat tho mass of think.
ing men of the South accept thepresent
situation of affairs in good faith. The
questions which have heretofore divi-
ded the sentiments of tho people Of the
two sections--Slavery and Staterights
or the right of State to secede from
the Union---they regard as having been
settled forever, by the highest tribunal

men whom / met that they q notE only
accepted the decision arrived at as final,
but that now, that the smoke of battle
has cleared away, and time has been
given for reelection, that this decision
has been a fortunate one for the whole
country, they receiving the like bene-
fits from it with those who opposed
them In the field and In the Cabinet
SMy observations led me 10 the con-
clusion that the citizens of the South.
ern States are anxious to return TO
self-government wlthmI the Union az
=, soon aspossible'; that while reconstruc.
ting they want and require protection
from the Government; that they arein
earnest in wishing TO do what they
think is required by the Government,
not humiliating,to them, as citizens;
,, and that if such a course was pointed
out they would pursue 1T in good faith.
