RaIIWRT MOVEMENTS.

The Cleveland Herald speaking Of
the recent apparent good understanding
between the Erie and P. Fl w. & C.
railroads, remarks: "HaYe the Erie
aud the Fort Wayne Railroad interests
kissed and made friendsl There are
strong reasons for SO believing. The
Cincinnati Gazette said that the mana
gers of the two rosds were negotiating
for an amicabIe termination of their
quarrel by laying third rail from
Mansfield to Chicago on the Fort
Wayne road, thus giving the Erie di-
rect hue to the latter city. We have
good reasons for believing this TO be
the fact, and that the arrangement viii
be made. The Erie party have the
whip hand of the antagonistie interest in
the Fort Wayne management, and not
even the Pennsylvania Legislature can
save that interest from defeat, for neith-
er the Pennsylvania Legislature nor its
masters are omnipotent in Ohio. The
Ene party have the majority of the
Fort Wayne stocks and bonds in their
hands, and would undoubtedly be sup
ported in the attempt TO control their
own property in Ohio and Indiana,
should their right be disputed. In
such an event they would be indifer-
eut as to what Legislative restrictions
might be placed on the few miles Of
road in Pennsylvania.
"Wbat effect this new deal, if accom-
plished, viii have on the extension Of
the broad guage from Cleveland west
ward remains to be seen. At all events,
we do not think it win affect iDJuriously
the relations of the broad guage with
Cleveland. This point will be the lake
terminus of the Erie Railway, and the
beneficial results of the consolidation
with the Atlantic and Great Western
already begin to be felt here"

Of Interest TO State Newspaper
Publishers.

Of Interest TO state Newspaper
Publishers.
A case of interest to the newspaper
publishers of the State has just been
decided at ChardOu, Geauga county
The case had an an especial interest be-
cause it settled the important question
whethere foreign insurance company
can eyade the requirements of the law
to publish its annual statement. The
action was brought to recover S32 25,
the amount due the plaintiff for pub
fishing the statement of the company
for 1867, with interest, which the wes-
tern manager had refused to pay on
the ground that the publication was
unauthorized and unnecessary. 1t ap-
peared at the trial that the publication
had been deferred from time to time,
by order of the western manager, un-
til the fall of 1867, when the local
agents, for their own protection, and
the credit of the company they repre-
sented, caused it to be published in the
Gesuga Democrat. The court render
ed judgment for the sum above stated
and costs, and tlle whole amount has
since been paid.
All Of the best companies seize up
on the occasion made by law for the
publication of their statements as the
best one possible for a fair showing to
the public of their business and good
standing. Consequently they may be
found everywhere occupying considera-
bic space IN the journals of largest cir
culstion, calling general attention to
their companies by judieious outlay
in advertising Weak companies, on
the contrary, occupy the obscure col
umns of the cheapest paper they can
find, complying only with the letter of
the law, or avoid It altogether by fail
ure to publish. Business men will un-
derstand the reasons for the different
modes Of these companies.-State Jour

The TOLEDO Commercials comments
on our article of last week are unfair
1t declares we assumed ''thst the mo
tive and object which prompts prize
lighting, are similar to those which lead
to murder, arson, &c" The journal
did no such thing. We were not speak
ing of motives but facts, KheH we said
Prize fighting is crime against the laws
Of the State, so are murder, arson, burglary,
bigamy, rape, DC, and the same rule that
would prohibit publications in regard TO one
of these crimes, would be good against all
ihe rest Of the category.
And such is the fact nor did our law
giYers enquire into the motives actuat-
ing prize-fghters, any more than they
did the motives of those committing
murder, when the laws were framed
Its not the motive which constitutes
the violation of law, but the actual
transgression. He may hold malice
against an individual, and contemplate
murder, yet violate no law. But if he
should murder, his known malice would
aggravate his crime,-not constitute it
Hence, the law against prize fighting
is not directed against the motive, but
against the fact ITSELF The newspaper
deals, ike the law, with the facts, moi
the motives. But the ComnserciaL en-
quires:
Did the Journal ever hear Of amurder ar.
son or rape, planned months in advance
with the details of the affair, including the
training Of the actor, all paraded by himself
IN the public jOurnals-the location OF th'
proposed crime announced.
No But in that very question The
Commercial unwittingly makes a very
strong point against ITSELF and show
that it has been charging upon th'
press the direliotions of the law and it
officers If the plan Of a contemplated
murder or other crime-exceptng priz
6ghting-sOuld be known and publish
ed, the officers Of the law would inter
rupt the proceedings and take etiectiv
steps to prevent the crime. The pres
publishes these facts, in relation t
prize fighting, for the officers Of th
law, andif they did their duty butfe'
reports of these brutal affairs WOul
6pd tbeir way into newspaper column
.4O prompt Others to seek a contest. =
The COMMERCIAL must not understan
Us as in favor Of publishing the detail
of prize fight; yet often thedetails
m9rder are equally horrid. An

Contrast Between the Effects Of Tenn

etA-N~ @AASSA4@ lAA@SF
In Vineland, New Jersey, containing a
population of ten thousand, for period of
six months, no one required relief from the
oVerseer of the poor; for year there was
only one indictment and that only q trifing
case of assault and battery; there was but one
house burnt down, and two tri1ing fires;
there is no debt, and the taxes are but one
per cent, on the valuation, and the police ex-
penses are but $75 year. All this is at
tributed to the fact that no liquors are al
lowed to be sold in the town. The writer
of ]his report contrasts with it the state of
things in the New England town from which
he went, in which the population was nine
thousand five hundred little less than
that Vineland. It maintained forty liquor
shops. These kept busy a police Judge, city
marshal, four night watcbmen, six police
men. Fires were almost continual. That
small place maintained a paid fire depart
ment of four companies, of forty men each,
at an expense of $4,000 per annum. Fires
averaged about one every two weeks, and
mostly incendiary. The support fthe poor
cost $500 per annum. The debt of the
township was $4,000.

VALUE OF EURopEAN PArENrs.-Tl

VALUE OF EUROPEAN PATENTS. The
American origin of an invention is now
recommended in Europe, where many
of these inventions lin successful op-
Grafton and large fortunes have been
realized by their introduction. Mr.
Bessemer derives an annual income of
about 100000 from his British steel
patents, and the patentee of a device
for dressing mill-stones by revolving
diamond, has realized over $1,000, 900
the first year of his patents. The use
of a diamond for this purpose is an
American invention, and the estimated
value of the exclusive right IN England,
for ten years, is $5,O00,OOO. British
patents, as rule, are the mo4 valua-
be, but many inventions are equally
profitable in other parts of Europe, and
some are peculiarly adapted to Contin-
entail wants and customs.

This Company, National in its character, offers,
by reason of its large Capital, Low Rates Of Pre-
MUM and New Tables, the most desirable means
of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced, are
made as favorable to the insurers as those of the
Mutual Companies, and to avoid all the cOmplica-
tions and uncertainties of Notes, Dividends and
the misunderstanding which the latter are apt to
cause the Policy Holder.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre-
sented which need only 10 be understood to prove
acceptable to the public, such as INCOME PRO
DUCING POLICY and RETURN PREMIUM
POLICY. In the former, the pOlicy-holder not
only secures life insurance, payable at death, but
will receive, If living, after period Of few years,
an annual income equal to ten per cent. 40 per
cent? of the par of his policy: In the LATTER the
Company agrees to return to the assured the total
amount Of money he has paid in, in addition to the
amount Of his policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insuring
their lives or increasing the amount of insurance
they already have, is called to the special adYant
ages offered by the National Life Insurance Comp

UsURY IN THE DISTRICT.

What tenacity of life there seems to be in
some errors. Senator Davis of Kentucky,
opposed the repeal of the usury laws in the
District (which restricts interest to 6 per
cent, saying-and that was fair specimen
of the reasons given and the logic used in his
argument-that mo excuse could justify the
imposition Of usurious rate of interest,"
The object of the repeal is to enable persons
to borrow the money here, which is now sent
of where higher interest is permissible, and
whittier the borrower must follow it or 90
without it, and suffer the consequences, bust
