UNCERTAINTIES or TIE IAW.-The
Troy On. YD JVhjq tells story of a
case at law in that State. In 1895 Il
man was run over on the Hudson
River railroad, and his wife sued the
company for damages. The ease was
tried before a Justice, and the plain
tiff was nonsuited. She then appeal
ed to the Supreme Court, and the
nonsuit was taken Off She tried the
ease before another Justice and cot
$1,000 damages. The railroad com
pany appealed this time, and the
fourth trial was held in the Supreme
Court, the verdict Of $1,000 beng
affirmed The railroad company
again appealed, and the fifth trial
was had before the New York Court
Of Appeals, which reversed the tor
mcr decisions, and ordered a new
trial before a Jdstice. This gave
rise to the sixth trial, which came
off before another Justice, who non.
suited the plaintiff. She again ap-
pealed and the seventh trial was
had before the Supreme curt, which
this time affirmed the nonsuit, but
the lady again appealed to the
highest Court, aud the eighth trial
was had before the Court of Appeals
in April last. The Court reversed
all The former decisions and sent the
case to the Justice to begin over
again. Thus, aftereleven years con
tests in Che Courts and eight trials,
the case is back, where it started in
the Justices Court in 1853. The
ways Of the law are tortuous, indeed

TERRIBLE AFFRAY BETWEEN WHITES
AND NEaRo SoLDlERs-A fatal affray
recently occurred near San Antonio,
Texas. Captain Nolen, of the Tbir'
teenth Regiment of negro cavalry,
was sent with sixteen men, to arrest
bad character by the name of Porter,
who had killed an old gentleman last
August, and for whose arrest an order
had been issued. A son Of the mur.
dered man Informed Captain Nolen
that Porter and his comrade would be
at neighboring house to attend
wedding. The Captain went to The
house with squad, entered it, placed
his hand on Porter's shoulder, and Or
dered him to surrender. A man then
stepped up and shot the Captain
through the wrist. A Sergeant then
shot the assailant dead Porter drew
q pistol and shot the Captain through
the breast, near the heart, the ball
coming out near tho shoulder. The
Captain then shot Porter dead, and
mortally wounded two others. By
this time the soldiers had entered the
house, where they drew up in line and
were ready to fire into the crowd,
when Nolen stopped them, exhorting
them not to kill the women. Twen.
ty of the wedding company were ar.
rested and are under heavy guard.
The recovery of Captain Nolen is
doubtful.

Cholera Disinfectant.

DIR. A. L. Finck, an eminent German ply.
sician, who cas- seen great deal of cholera in
Europe, communicates to the Hartford EIen-
ing Press an article on the causes and treat
ment of the disease which is worthy Of atten-
ton. DIR. F. believes that this terrible scourge
has its origin in miasmatic poisoning, and
therefore that the attention of those who
would arrestits course should be directed chief
ly to the publication of the atmosphere, and
the naturalization of the exhalations from
cholera patients and victims which, lodged in
the ground by means of unclean cutters, sinks,
vaults and other nuisances, arises, and is in
hailed by the breath and absorbed by the skin
into the system. The Doctor says: ~
1t is Of importance next to consider how to
prevent the entering of the miasma into the
system. This is accomplished first by the use
of disinfectants in ali our surroundings. AS
disinfector of the atmosphere, / recommend
very strongly, as the most powerful and at the
same time cheapest, a paiIture of equal parts
of powdered lime and POWDERED charcoal,
strewn freely around in all places where there
is any disagreeable odor. 1t should especially
be used on all the excrements OF cholera pa
tients. The excrements themselves shA }iHfhd.n
buried at aleeasttu5ts that this cheap material
for disint ecting should be furnished in guam
titles By the city authorities, and placed, free
of expense, a1ithia reach of the poor. 1t
would be also well to apply it in bedrooms,
and other places where people are likely to
gather. 1t is far preferable to chloride of lime.
which is besides injurious to the lungs. ID.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
| Tuesdays debate in the House of Representa-
tives shows pretty general agreement on the
Republican side, to all the provisions of the
proposed amendment, except the third section.
| The special dispatches to Wednesdays Boston
Advertiser contain the following sketch of the
debate between Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Blaine,
upon this section. Mr.. Stevens said,- "
With respect to the third section, disfran-
chising rebels till 1870, he agreed heartily with
the views Of Andrew johnson, military gov
ernor OF Tennessee, and thought that rebels
ought always to be kept on the back seat. He
| could much more heartily support the clause il
| it DISTINGUISHED them for ten years, but would
| not move an amendment.
Mr.. Blaine made but lew remarks about the
amendment as whole. He suggested that
the third section might be looked upon as in
bad faith. In this connection, he read from
the act of July, 1852, giving the President the
authority to grant amnesty and pardon, and
also brought forward extracts from the amnes-
ty proclamations OF President Lincoln and
| President johnson. Would it not be VIOLA
ton OF national faith to dsfranchise these
men who had been pardoned by these proclaim
| atoms.
Mr.. Stevens said that pardon by the Pres
dent or any act OF Congress extinguishes the
crime, and if any of these persons are fully
pardoned. they are of course not guilty in the
sense of the proposed measure.
Mr.. Blaine asked if he was to understand
that persons below the grade of colonel, who
have been pardoned by proclamation, are not,
In the language of the section, to be consider
ed as having voluntarily participated in the
| rebellion.
Mr.. Stevens replied that any person having
a pardon, OF course, would be exempt from the
| effects OF the section.
| Mr.. Blaine said that met his point. The fact
was that these men could show no pardons,
having been pardoned by proclamation ofgen-
eral amnesty. He thought the adoption OF the
section would lead to almost infinite and in
surmountable complications. 1t was retro-ac
tive, and assumed to set aside the law of 1862,
as well as the proclamations of Mr.. Lincoln and
Mr.. johnson. 1t goes back and deprives men of
political rights granted by proclamations is
sued by authority of law, and at the proper
time he should move to strike it out. .. .-r,
