REspoNs1s111TY FOR DAMAGES.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has recently made the following I'M
portant decision in reference to the
precise point at which pecuniary ac-
co~untabllity for the consequences OF
wrongful or injurious acts is to cease.
The facts Of the case were as follows
The employees Of a railroad company
negligently placed a locomotive OH a
track near a warehouse which was SET
on fire and burned by the sparks emit
ted from the smoke pipe. The burning
warehouse in turn set fire to 4 hotei
about thirty-nine feet distant, which
was destroyed. In an action by the
hotel keeper against the railroad, the
Supreme Court, on appeal, held that
the damages to he recovered must be
the natural aud proximate conse-
auences Of the act complained. and
that the hotel was destroyed BY a sec
ondary cause, namely the burning OF
the warehouse. The Court, Chief JUS
tlce Thompson delivering the opinion.
says the sparks from the locomotive
did not ignite the hotel. The sparks
were the remote cause.-The cause Of
the hotel being bnrned. As there was
an intermediate agent or cause Of de-
struction between the sparks and the
destruction Of the hotel, it Is obvious
that the burning Of the warehouse was
the proximate, and the emission Of the
sparks was the remote cause. The
Court gave their illustrations of the
above rule, showing that, il the law
were different, the careless use Of
matches In one dwelling house might
mulct the owner In damages for the
destruction Of squares Of adjoining
buildings in extensive conflagrations.
1t was therefore held that the railroad
company was not liable for the burning
Of the hotel, though 1t was answerable
for the destruction of the warehouse.
The above question, Chief Justice
Thompson says, has before been
adjudicated upon in Pennsylvania, and
he also adds that there are no cases in
the English reports where the differ
ence between the remote and the proS-
innate causes Of injuries have been dis
cussed. A case, however, almost SINH
lar in every respect, has been decided
in the same way in.the New York
Court Of Appeals. In this last case an
action for damages had been brough,
against a railroad company for the de-
struction Of a dwelling house, set fire
to by the sparks from a wood-shed OF
the company. The wood-shed was l3O
feet from the house, and had been
ignited by the sparks from a locomo-
tive negligently placed: The New
York Court of Appeals unanimously
decided that the sparks from the loco
motive were the remote cause, and
that the railroad was not responsible
for the destruction Of the dwelling
house.

The High Court Nominations.

The Executive nominations of Messrs.
H. F. Simrall, j. Tarbell and Z. G..
Peyton, are before the Senate for confr-
nation. 1t would be affectation to at
tempt to disguise the unalloyed satisfac-
ton with which we, in common with the
rest of the community, have hailed the
nomination of Mr. Simrall. His learn
ing, integrity, ability, and orthodoxy in
all the essentials of a gentleman, jurist,
patriot and statesman, challenge admi-
ration. Gov. Alcorn has done himself
honor in making the appointment; and
whatever else the denominations of the
Senate may tempt Us to say, We will enter
large item to its credit when it confirms
the nomination.
As for Mr.. Tarbell, the best that can
be said for him is that he is a shrewd poll
tician of plausible address, for whom his
warmest friends cannot claim learning in
the law commensurate with the REQUIRE
ments of the position.
Judge Peyton, we believe, is conceded
to be a lawyer of considerable attain
ments in the science of his profession. He
is a Radical of the venomous stripe.
On the whole the nominations are a
singular compound, in which are present.
ed the face of avirgin-the body of fish
and the tail of a serpent.

STAND FROM UNDER.

The placing of a portion of ones estate
above the vicissitudes of fortune and sa-
wing it from the creditors grasp, origi-
mates in principle of justice and human
ity which is incorporated in the jurispru-
dence of every State in the Union. No
matter how large the exemption, if due
notice be given to the world, it cannot be
said that the policy encourages dishonesty
or enables the debtor to withhold from the
creditor {who is presumed to know the
law his dues.
1t is not our purpose at present to dis
cuss the existing exemption laws. Their
enactment was doubtless participated in,
by some of the very men who are now
foremost in denouncing them, and who
would never have discovered their defects
if new idol had not been set up for the
worship of demagogues.
Our object is to notify the people that
the existing laws will be repealed and to
admonish persons who are enjoying the
benefits arising therefrom, of the impend-
ing danger. Many of our best people
who were rich in former days, are poor
indeed now by the action of the govern
ment in stripping them of their property.
The property itself was destroyed, but
the debts which were created on the faith
of it, were not wiped out. Over them
are hanging judgments which will cover
any property that may be left exposed by
a reduction of the exemption laws, and
which if executed will leave them to pen
ury and want-thus breaking up and de-
stroying the repose and protection here
tofore given them by law. 1t is yet with
in the power of these people to guard
against this threatened invasion of rights
which they are enjoying under existing
laws. Under these laws, and before their
repeal, it is their right to sell and convey
IN part or IN ,chole thepresent exempt real
or personal estate, and thus avoid the
expressions and hardships which will in
evitably follow their repeal. They can
even give away any exempt property by
present laws. But whatever action is
taken, must be taken before they are re-
pealed. There is no time to be lost by
persons who are liable to come under the
operation of this vandal scheme of the
Radicals to deprive them of their homes
and even of the wreck of the estates
which remained to them after the war.
