On q certain occasion Hon. Alex

engaged I'm n political discussion with
Hon. Benjamin II. Hill of that state,
when the latter charged him with
saying that he (Stephens) could eat
Judge Cone for breakfast, himself
(Mr. Hill) for dinner, and Governor
Cobb for supper. 70 which Mr..
Stephens quietly replied: II never

Among the thousands who have
read the speech of Vice. President

there are probably few who have
heard OF an amusing incident that

speech. the leader of the Opposition
party, RObt. Toombs, arose, and after
complimenting Mr. stephens as one
OF the purest of patriots, moved that

We read good deal OF the other

that she attracts and charms oil
within her range who are not wrong
hearted and wrong headed. Her de-
mcanor Is simple and modest. The
eye expresses sweetness and serenity.
she Is elegant without eXtravagant @
quiek-witted without cunning; ami
able without grimace; ready without
pertness; fluent in concisely, sug-
gests, inspires, and avoids with de-
lightful tact touching upon any sore

Frencl! woman whose portrait take

with her neighb0rs without ever be-
traying impertineut curiosity, or be-
traying impertinent an absent person.

is quite different. She has not many
children; out she adores the few that

CONVENTION Of WESTERN RAILROAD TICKET AGENTS.
From tho Chicago Times. June an

From the Chicago Times, June 27.l
demand was recently made OF the Western and
Northwestern Railway Companies by the Eastern
Trunk lines, including the New York Central, the
Erie and the Pennsylvania Railroad, for pro rata
division OF through passenger receipts without re-
gard 10 local rates. The demand involved some
very grave questions, and for its consideration a
meeting of the general passenger agents OF the
Western roads was called TO be held at the fremont
House yesterday. As Is known the only practicable
Eastern outlet Of the Western roads Is over one OF
those three lines and the union OF those lines forms
combination whose demands are generally
acceded TO. To decide upon the fairness OF the
demand the comparative expense OF operating
Eastern and western roads must be understood and
other questions OF real importance bearing upon the
subject must be considered Before the time for the
meeting therefore, the result OF Its deliberations was
very doubtful. The first session Of the convention
was held In the morning, the Western roads being
very generally represented On motion Of 9. r. Fol-
lette, committee Of eight wac appointed TO prepare
reply to the demand OF the Eastern roads when the
meeting adjourned TO meet again In the evening.
In the evening the convention reassembled the ses.
sion being secret one. The committee made re-
port, which was presented In the form Of formal
notification TO the Eeastern roads, and which s TO be
embodied In circular, 10 the eject that their
demand had been considered and that the roads
represented In that convention peremptory refused
TO accede TO its terms. The report was uDsp mousy
adopted. and the convention adjourned.

THE REBELLION IN TIVE NEW yoK COURT or APPEALS.
from the Albany Journal. June 20

from the Albany Journal June 2s.1
About 1880 John p Sandcrsop, Of Jacksonvie, Fla,
commenced an action In the Supreme Court OF this
state against Morgan and Others upon an insurunc6
claim After the election OF Mr.. Lincoln the plaintiff
was an active secessionst and he'd Office under he
rebel government In September, 1861, on motIo8
OF the defendants counsel those facts were allowed
TO be set mp BY way OF supplemental answer, AZ a
The plaintiff demurfed, to that answer, and Justice
Hogeboom decided against the plaintiff In
May, 1852. On the appeal. the supreme Court
in the Third district affirmed that Judgment
In May, 1858. The plaintiff tbereupon carried
the case 10 the Court OF Appeals, where the
Judgment has Just been afnrmed, 1t Is thus estab-
llshed by the highest court Ia this State that the
plaintiff being an enemy during the last war, conld
not maintain an action In our courts. He Is placed
In the same position as all public enemies during the
time Of war. This Is believed to be the first case
where that question was presented In our courts
after the war began, but since that time 0pe same
doctrine has been followed by all the states and by
the supreme Court OF the United States. This suit
also illustrates the fact that II takes longer period
to decide lawsuit In this state than IL did 10
Quer the rebellion. !. r. Crawford, Of Cohoes and
Z. l.. Sanderson OF Brooklyn, were counsel for the
palntn, and Billiard Davenport, OF Troy, for the
defendants.
