Defeat of the Griffith Railroad Bill in
The &Rn

No measure that has been before the present
Guneral Assembly has elected so much inter-
est as the bill to authorize count es, cities and
townships TO provide for the construction of
Railroads. The bill had pissed the House by
a strnng majority, after full discussion of its
provisinns.
When the fact became known TO the friends
Of the measure in various parts Of the State,
that the passage OF the bill through The Sem
ate WIS matter Of some doubt, men came up
from the must distant counties to urge upon
their members, and upon the committee in
charge OF tue Till, considerations in favor of its
passage.
These gentlemen had, as we are informed
assumed that the Senators from Hamilton
county would favor the measure as il was bnt
an application Of the principle contained ia the
Ferguson bill tO all counties and cities But
when the time for decisive aetiou came, the
Senators from Hamilton county hesitated, wa
yered, and made default. Il is claimed by the
friends Of the measure that the vute oi two of
the four Senator's frim II Iuniton county would
have passed the Griffith bill
The defeat of this bill was probably followed
BY the introduction intO the Senate by Mr.
Saesel, ct bill to repeal the act of the last
General Assembly to authorize the city of Gin
einnati to build the Southern Railroad. |. is
currently reported that a sufficient number Of
tctes can be had in each House to repeal this
act Ohio &ats J0arInI.

An Important Case.

CINCINNATI, April S0.-The case of Knox
pS. Lee, for taxes, which was submitted upon
printed argumets by Judge Paschal for
Knox, and Mr.. Wells for Lee, was ordered
to be reargued at the next term Of the SUI
preme Court.
The case involves two parties-one, the
effect Of a sale of property by the Coincide
rate States under their sequestration laws
against alien enemies !; the other upon an
instruction of the Judge upon the measure
of damage. He said that in assessing dam.
ages the jury would recollect that whatever
amount they might give in their verdict
would be discharged by payment Of such
amount in legal-tender notes of the United
States. It is said that the difficulty was upon
this construction, and that the argument
has been ordered because it opens up the
whole question Of the constitutionality Of
the legal-tender laws. ::
The case will be argued by Judge Paschal
against the Instructions.
A very important decision was delivered
to-day to the effect that the property Of 8
person who had taken the amnesty oath wa:
not a legal prize. Several. millions of dol.
lars are Involved.

FARMvILLE, April q, 1870.
The telegraph communicates the sad
tragedy in the Capitol building. One of the
gentlemen reported to be among the dead
MIR. Burnhan. of New York; was in this
Town on yesterday. and was returning to
his home with view OF making arrange
mcntS to buy land in this vicinity.
Senator Bland was 4 native Of Farmville,
and has resided in the town all his life.
When we remember his antecedentS and
his limited opportunities of education, the
success Of his Sclf-rcliant efforts to acquire
knowledge reflects great credit on him. On
public questions he exhibited q liberality of
sentiment and al independence very well
worthy Of imitation; and however devoid
might have been his political views, he had
become statesman enough to know that he
had a country TO serve, rs well as party to
obrv." Had he lived and continued to
study he would have had it in his power to
exercise Il controlling and salutary influ-
..nce, especially with his own race. Withal,
he. WAS Il man of integrity and of amiable
aud generous impulses. Our people had q
iuSt appreciation of his merits.
ii is understood that the Rev. n. ". Will
son, of Farmyilc, goes to DR.. Jeter's
church As pastor. His church here loses,
while The metropolitan pulpit gains, very
faithful and instructive preacher, whose
sermons present truth with clearness and
force. RoLFE.
