runner and thereby woman was injured
Another verdict of nearly four thousand dol
lars against railroad was rendered because
the driver and his horse were slow IN cross
ing the track and an engine ran against
them. Large damages have also been gwen
against our city because some individuals
have slipped upon the ice and sprained them
selves; and country town had to pay for
horse and costs of suit, amounting to some
thousand dollars, because the owner said he
stepped into hole in the snow made in a
February thaw which had suddenly become
frozen up, whereby his leg was broken. 1t
appeared that the leg was broken square off
between the ankle and hoof, and yet the jury
believed the horse travelled two miles and
hauled heavy load after the accident. Per-
haps he did, but if so he was an uncommonly
smart horse. The above cases show that cor
porations are in constant danger OF being
heavily mulcted for damages for very slight
causes. There is something in the atmos-
phere hersabouts quite dangerous to towns
and other corporations, and If verdicts OF ju-
ries be correct exponent of public opinion
and feeling, then these bodies corporate must
be exceedingly cautious of what they do and
of what they say, for more seems to be exact
ed of them than of individuals. Because it
is said-whether wisely or unwisely we win
not now discuss-that corporations have no
souls, juries, we suppose, have no mercy for
them, but it ought to be remembered that
they are entitled to reasonable share Of
justice in the administration of the laws, il
not to any mercy.
1t will be seen from the above considera-
tions how important it is that railroad cor
porations as well as towns, should pursue the
straight and narrow way. Public opinion
may become SO exacting that roads must
be so constructed and managed that accidents
cannot happen from any cause short of an
earthquake or some other equally grand con-
vulsien of Nature.

that is full indemnity from England for the

about Norwich, but on examination they were
declared to belong to much younger woman
than Mrs. Steward. The husband was not
suspected, and the whole mysterious business
was nearly forgotten; but few months ago
Steward made voluntary confession to the
effect that the remains in question really were
those OF his wife who had been murdered by
him. He had carried the awful secret of his
guilt in his own breast for 1S years, but could
bear it no longer, and he has now been convict

Owing to the fact that much important
business is generally but off to the close OF
the session, quite q number of important
measures were lost. The renewal of the
charter to the Memphis & El Paso Pacific
Railroad, road asking for no subsidies but
simply the right Of way across public land,
failed in this way. The need of this road is
evident, as its route is the finest that can be
selected.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND SENATOR

WARRINGTON, April IA, 1869.
CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND SENATOR
sPRAGUE.
In one of the recent speeches of Senator
Sprague he said that the sentences of his
speech were constructed by some one better
qualified than he was, but that the ideas pre-
sented were his own, and that upon this lat
ter point he yielded to no Senator upon the
floor. This was most remarkable state
ment for Senator to make, and will be
commented upon to the Senator's disadvan-
tage, undoubtedly. The question naturally
arises: whom did he get to construct his
sentences, and to whom is he indebted for
the very able argument that he read against
the constitutionality of the tenure-of Office
bill. 1t is evident that Senator Sprague
is the mouth-piece of another, and that
that other is his father-in-law. The
recent unusual interest OF Mr.. Sprague IN
the affairs of the nation, indicates that there

and the experience of age, he is bending all
of his energies to secure. The Democratic
press are loud in their applause of Senator
Sprague, and tn indications are that there
there will be great exertions made to organ
ize new party, of which Chief Justice
Chase aspires to be the leader. Last even

Senator a serenade.

But the heaviest part Of the highway tax
Is no doubt that which is levied upon us by
the destruction Of horse flesh, the impeding
OF public travel, the wear of vehicles, and the
increased cost OF transportation over our poor
roads. This is tax which without any as
SCISSOR or collector is inexorably exacted from
every barrel of -four, every bag of grain, every
box of goods, and every person, passing over
our travelled roads. AS It is levied indirectly,
and more than all a. we have always paid it,
nobody thinks of it. But it is one of the
heaviest burdens resting on the people of
Massachusetts and Of New England, borne by
those who rank among the most thrifty and
progressive people on earth, and who never
thelsss in this every day matter are demon
strably rather more than two thousand years
behind the world.
And that is not ALL The accidents that
often happen in consequence of defects in
our highways for which towns are sued must
be taken into the account, and lately this ac-
count has been tremendously enlarged by
verdicts' of juries. Towns and railroad cor
| porations have recently suffered severely by
such verdicts. Juries-to say nothing OF
| judges-ssem to take it for granted that cor
porations have souls enough to be found
guilty Of great crimes and to be damned fol
