Action Against the Secretary OF War.
[From the Neiv York Herald, 4!h.]

SUPREME CoUET-CHAMBrRs.- e. Mad
.Eor, Us. Edtcin II. Santon.-The arrests by mill
,ary process that the war is over. are causing
somewhat of stir in our Civil Courts. The pres
aent action may be considered o test as to the
liability of Government officers for any arbitrary
measures that may have been exercised during the
progress Of the war; In the suit about to be tried,
ahe facts, according to the complaint and answer,
1864, Mr. Joseph H. Maddox was arrested in Bal
Iimore by order Of the Secretary of War. The
charges alleged against him were that he, in COM
pany with NJ. E. 3lcrtin and j. F. Manahan, held
unlawful inter course with the rebels, in the trans
1portation of goods, illicit correspondence, &C.,
That on those charges he was confined at Camp
Hamilton, Fortress Monroe until the Sth Of June
following, and again arrested on the 10th of
March, 1865, being this time confined for sixty
nine days. Plaintiff was arrested on those occa-
ssions under the name of James Brown. While
4hus confined he alleges that large quantity of
tobacco, belonging to him and placed at Frede-
ricksburg Va, for safc-kccpng, was destroyed by
orders Of the defendant. It also alleged in the
complaint that he received permission from Prcsi
edent Lincoln to purchase this tobacco in Rich
xnond, and that he was acting solely under Exccu-
tive authority. He claims that in consequence of
the sudden and unlawful seizure of his person,
being prevented from having intercourse with
friends and counsel ho has been materially i'll
Cured, both financially and physically, and seeks
for damages 70 the amount OF one hundred thou
sand dollars.
Secretary Stanton, in his answer, says that he is
not resident of the city of New York, but OF
Washington, D. C. That the plaintiff was arrested
for violation of the Articles Of War; and was after
wards discharged on parole, after giving, proper
security for his appearance when required, Iha'
,at the time of his arrest, existed, and Balti,
more was under martial law and that plaintiff
was taken in custody by the Provost Marshal OF
that city, and not by any command Of the re-
spondcnt.
The case came up in Court yesterday on motion
of ex-Judge Cowles, to strike out the whole or q
portion of the answer.
Ex-Judgc Picrpont, on the part of the Secretary
.Iof War, opposed the luution.
The poiuts of law governing this branch Of the
subject were argued ut some length.
Judge Sutherland reserved his decision.
While Secretary Stanton WAS iii this city, some
months since, process was served upon him,
(which brought the case before our Courts.

Co,r OF CorroN GooDs.-In fow weeks thero
will be an active movomont mado 10 get Congress
10 increase She duties on certain foreign imports.
This will he dono on the ground Of protection,
and not Of increase Of roVenuo. There may DO
manufactures that neod some additional legisa-
ton, but brief examination of the dividend list
OF q largo number Of New England companies
will satisfy any reador that the mills which arc
making cotton goods arc not Of that class. The
dividends referred to range from twenty per cent
to ono hundred and twenty per cent, and embrace
cotton goods from spool cotton TO the finest print
goods. Women who work with the neod!o or Sow
ing machine will learn from this oxhit.. that the
reason why their spool cotton is so costly is not
so much because Of the high prco OF cotton or Of
largo dividends for their stockholders.
We havo tho authority Of tho t Economist on tor
''Sprague" print (calico) is II cents yard; but
tho prco at the mill is q cents yard. 1t is hard
to see how it is that manufactures paying profits
liko these need any further protection. Addition
al duties will only bring additional cost to tho con-
sumor, and all for the profit of the companies al
ready dividing such large profits to their stock
holders.-P Philadelphia Ledger.

consult their interests by the selection OF reliable

the examination of few facts We have to present
The points required In the hreproof filling OF Safe,
may be enumerated as follows
Ist 1t must te o slow conductor Of heat.
2d 1t hold largo quantity OF water to vaporize

all wet mixtures such plaster mixed with water are

9th. 1t should not communicate dampnoss TO tho in

ment aud other valuables.
7th Its value in oil tho above conditions should not
be impaired by age and reasonable usage.
In cvery Safe that is thoroughly reroof there must
be something to generate steam.
Heretofore we have used Plaster of Paris mixed with
water, for this purpose.
The objections to using water in the nling of Safes
are:
It renders the Safe very damp, thereby often running
papers by loosening SEALS &c.
It soon corrodes the iron of the Sao and rss holes
through which the filling oozes out.
BY the evaporation Of the water the Safe soon becomes
less hre-proof.
These objections we have entirely obvlated in our
present Safe, filling is as dry as gunpowder and
when the fire takes place. the steam is generated by the
melting of the alum.
