From the annual report Of the Local In
spectors Of Louisville, we extract the
following: During the year 1869 eighty
steamers were inspected, a n increase of
eighteen steamers ver the previous year,
with an aggregate tonnage of &c, 324 5o-100:
I61 pilots and I52 engineers were licensed.
The license of two pilots were suspended
and those Of three engineers were re-
voked, and two engineers and one pilot
were refused licenses. There were nine
accidents to steamers IN this district, by
which twenty-seven lives were lost, as
follows: LeClaire No. 2 and Falls City,
sunk o. falls; propeller Crescent, sunk at
Flint Island; Ollie Sullivan, sunk by col
lision with Quickstep at Diamond Island;
Uncle Sam, burned at Hickman bridge,
Kentucky river; Cora S. sunk ut Shaw
neetown; LeonOra No. 2, sunk at city
wharf; Cumberland and Phantom, ex-
plOded near ShawneetoWn.
a case Of considerable interes. to trav-
elers has been decided by the New York
Court of Common Pleas. 1t was a suit
brought by one Macklin against the New
Jersey Steamboat Company. The plaintiff.
in August, 1856, Dol passage on the
steamer st. John, and carried a small
valise with him to his stateroom. Lock
ing the door he bid goodbye to a friend,
and returning a few minutes after, found
his valise gone. On the trial the defend
ants insisted that they had placed everv-
where about the boat notices to passengers
that they must leave their baggage
in the b-aggage-room, and had even
posted persons on the stairs lead
ing to the state-rooms to notify the
passengers of this rule. The plaintiff
denied that he had seen any such notice,
or been notified in any way to not to place
his baggage in the state-roOm. The jury
found for the plaintiff. The defendants
appealed, and are now beaten on appeal,
the court holding that the defendants are
liable as common carriers for their pas
sengers' baggage, and though they have
the right to make reasonable regulations
to the knowledge of the passenger to be-
come a defence, that a regulation pre-

TRAGEDY IN HENDERSON COUNTY
Two Men Tiled --Suppossd Foul Play by a
Third Party.

The Humboldt (Tenh.) Headlight OF
saturday last says that on Christmas
morning, near a little place called Juno,
more Familiarity known as Pinch some
eight miles west of Lexington, a most
terrible tragedy was enacted. II appears
that On the morning In question one Tom
Tyler and Milton ThOrne went to the
house Of DR.. True, living near Juno, IN
company with Mr.. James Watson, for
the purpose of enjoying an egg-nOgg with
the Doctor. After imbibing pretty freely
they all three started of, and had gene
but a short distance when Tyler and
ThOrne agreed to play a game of cards,
for which purpose they dismOunted.
Watson las he stated before the jury OF
inquestl became sick from drinking egg
nogg, and insisted on going On. They re-
fused. and he started back to DR.. True's,
but after proceeding a short distance got
of his horse, and remained but a short
time when he heard several shots fred in
the direction he had left the two men, lie
returned to the spot, and found ThOrDe
dead and Tyler nearly so, living only long
enough TO remark TO Watson: Il have
killed Milt and Milt has killed me-
Upon Watson making the fact known,
several of the neighbOrs fastened to the
spot, and found his story but too true.
Thorne and Tyler were lying about twelve
feet apart, with a Smith & WessOn re-
peater lying near each, four cartridges out
of Thorne's and only one out OF TyIer's.
We learn from a gentleman vino has re-
Gently come from there, that there is great
excitement in that vicinity, and the peO-
pie, or many Of them, seem 10 think the
slain parties were foully dealt with.

THE JUDICIAL CANVASS
A cARp FROM JUDGE cARNAck.

A NAAb fhOAA JODbE CAhA1AChs
Editors appeal: l am not a candidate
for Judge of the Law Court OF Memphis
as suggested in your paper of Tuesday
morning. l have not intended to be a
candidate, nor will l contest the election
Of any gentleman who may claim to be
elected on the sth of January, albeit such
an election viii, if held, be utterly void in
law, because the notics prescribed by the
statutes of the State (which a Judge is ex-
pected to observe) has not been given.
On the contrary, l will resign my commits
sion in case an election is held and recog-
nized in order that there may be a legiti-
q vacancy to be filed by appointment
or otherwise. 1 accepted a temporary
appointment as a public duty, hoping
thereby to save this community the
annoyance and expense of another cleo
ton prior to the regular election in May.
If I had expected TO be a candidate before
the people 1 would not have consented to
occupySthe bench while canvassing for an
election. This answers a large number of
good citizens, including many members
of my own profession, who have urged
me to announce myself as a candidate.
