In recent suit against an express COM
pany for the loss of trunk entrusted to
its care, the company set up in defence
the declaration on the check that it would
not be responsible for the contents beyond
500, alleging that this operated as a con-
tract. We are glad to see that the court
made short work Of this plea. Quite a
number Of our railroads have the same
clause on their tickets. OF course the
holder only comes in possession OF the
"contract =" after he has bought his ticket,
and when he cannot back out if he wishes.
His consent to the contract is not asked,
nor has he any means of knowing what 1t
is until after he has made it This is alb
surd. If railroad or express companies
decline to take property Of very great
value, that is one thiug-they have right,
we suppose, SO to do. But if they take it
they must be responsible for its sate-keep-
ipg.-NeW York Times.

A STATE CONvENTIoN.-We urge upon
our people in all the counties Of Virginia
to elect their best and wisest men to at
tend the Convention to be held in Rich
mond on the 11th of December. Only a
few days at most will be required to
agree on some plan Of action, and this,
through the medium of the machinery
then devised, can be communicated every
where for the direction and information of
the people. Let the men Of Virginia bear
in mind that this movement is made for
the succor and relief of their noble State
from desperate extremity and pressing
peril. There is but one way to defeat the
Constitution, and that is by casting against
it the unanimous white vote of the State.
There is but one way of commanding that
vote, which is by prompt and thorough Or
ganization. we urge a Jealous and de-
voted support Of this movement. If we
fail this time, the foe is in our citadel, and
the last hope will have left us.-Lynstburg

A Maine mechanic has procured a
patent for an invention for running shaft
ing at right angles or at any angle without
the use of gearing or betting. The idea
is entirely novel. A slide bar is placed in
the angle, and motion transferred by the
action Of double crank on each shaft.
The machinery runs without the least
noise.
A new and valuable agent whereby sur

The Staunton Spectator and Charlottes-
vile Chronicle, and perhaps one or two
other papers, take the ground that the best
and probably the only way to defeat the
constitution will be not to vote at all. We
had INDUCED the hope that we had heard
the last Of this I" do nothing" policy.
Only think of it! We have Convention
which will probably present us radical,
proscriptive, and DISTINGUISHING constitu-
ton, and when it comes before us for rati-
fication or rejection, sc are advised not to
vote for or against. To fold our arms and
do nothing is simply to permit the Radi-
Gals and negroes Of the State, backed by
the Radical Congress, TO do whatsoever
they please with the lives, liberty, and
property Of our citizens. Not so. Let us
be active now, if never before. The
power is in our hands to put stop to the
whole work of reconstruction by our
votes upon ratification; and it does seem
to us to be our bounden duty to exercise
the only real and effective means we pos
scss to save ourselves from threatened
Airicanization.- Norfolk Day Book.

LONDON, November 6.-Near Corese,
on Sunday, Garibaldi concentrated around
Monte Rotondo. He was urged to with
draw, but said he did not value his own
life, and soldier should not count his
enemies. Garibaldi, with 5000 men and
two guns, moved toward Tivoli, which the
Papal troops had stormed. While the
Garbaldians, ignorant of this disaster,
were marching along they were attacked
on all sides. They made two hours
fight at Monte Rotondo and fed, having
lost 900 killed and wounded and 900 pri-
soners.
Garibaldi looks old and haggard, broken
down, and disappointed.
The instruction is over.
The French took no part in the fight,
except few as volunteers.
The road between Cantalupa and Corcse,
Monday, was crowded with disarmed Ga
ribaldians. Their defeat is complete, and
their best men killed. The wounded
were arriving at Terni on Monday, and the
Italian regulars wept like women as they
carried them from the cars to the hospital
The English ambassador asks that the
King treat Garibaldi lenicntly.

PRESS DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, November 6-l.30 P. NJ
The New York Legislature is Democratic
on joint ballot, with probably a majority of
Democrats in the Senate.
The New Jersey Legislature is Demo-
cratic in both branches.
In Kansas both negro and female suf-
frage were defeated by 5000 majority.
From Wisconsin later accounts indicate
Fairchild (Republican) elected by re-
duced majority, but there is a decided Re-
publican majority in the Legislature.
In Minnesota negro suffrage was de-
feated. William Marshall Republican, is
probably elected by small majority for
Governor.
The New York Tribune estimates the
New York Legislature at-Senate, Is Re-
publicans and IA Democrats House, II
Republicans to 81 Democrats. 1t says the
returns are meagre, but no doubt there
will be Republican majority.
BosToN, November 6.-John Quincy

elected Representative in the Assembly.
The vote is overwhelmingly "for license"
SECOND DISPATCH.
| WASHINGTON, November Go ?. NJ
The following is an approximation to the
result in New York. The Democratic ma,
jority is from thirty to forty thousand
Brooklyn elects Democratic Mayor. The
State Legislature is Republican by a
largely reduced majority, with posi-
bilty that the Democrats may have the
lower house. Barley (Republican) sue
ceeds Conkling in Congress.
In Maryland every Office is filled by a
| Democrat.
In New Jersey the Democratic majority
is 5000, with majority Of eight on joint
ballot in the Legislature.
In Wisconsin the Legislature is Repub-
lican, thus securing Senator of that
stripe in place Of Doolittle. This is much
deplored by the Democrats throughout the
country. Fairchild (Republican) is elected
Governor, though there is q Democratic
gain Of 5000 in the State.
In Minnesota Marshall (Republican) is
elected Governor. Negro suffrage was
defeated by decided majority.
Kansas defeats both negro and female
suffrage.
A closer count, especially in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, may change the above.
In the city of New York all the Tam
many candidates were elected. John Nor
rissey won $4,000 on O'Brien being
elected sheriff by 500 majority.
