Northern Central Railroad Company, in which

from the cars Of the defendant at point beyond
Bolton depot, in May last, came up for trial.
The company was represented BY Bernard Carter,
Esq, and the plaintiff by Mr.. Burgyn. The ev-
idence in the case showed that the plaintiff pre-
scented coupon of Ticket from which the other
part OF The ticket had been detached, and upon
the conductor telling him that such detachment
was contrary to the rules of the company, the
plaintiff went TO the door Of the car while it WAS
in motion and jumped of although the conduc-
tor had punched his ticket and given it back TO
him, and had gone on collecting tickets from
other passengers, and did not tell the plaintiff to
get off. The court instructed the jury that nei-
Their the company or the conductor were in fault
in the matter and the plaintiff, anticipating a

TIE SUBURBS OF BALTIMoRE.-From the Bal
timore American of late date we copy the fol-
lowing
ut would be utterly useless to attempt
comparison of the suburbs of Baltimore five or
ten years ago with those of to-day. Since that
time the suburban beauty of Baltimore, en-
crossing the minds of all, has experienced
very marked change. Its intensity of interest
has been dispelled, and those magnetic powers
it had of enchanting the attention have been
lost. The picturesqueness oflandscape and for
ests, pregnant with thoughts of romance, have
all disappeared before the relentless hand of
Improvement different picture to such po-
etical scenes is now laid out, and in their pla-
ces are to be found the works of the artzan.-
The busy tinkle of the trowel now makes the
air resonant where the warblng of birds once
filled the surrounding country with music, and
the gentle, undulating, grassy slopes of land
scape have undergone serious change by the
work of the excavators pick Thus the su-
burbs OF Baltimore that were have disappeared
and new ones have come into existence by far
more unprepossessing. These changes, though,
have been caused by work of far more intrins
ic value to the interests of Baltimore than fas-
cinating scenery or architectural improve
ments. And in no section of the city are they
more apparent than in the western nor could
the aphorism of westward the star of empire
takes its way" be more appropriately applied
civilization to this quarter Where boys were
won't to gamble at play houses have sprung in
to existence where country roads curled their
dust into the air, streets have been laid out,
and the evidences of thrift and enterprise are
to be seen in every direction. Summer resi-
dences that stood solitary in their retirement,
in the midst of houseless lands, have succumb-
ed to the encroachments of the city's growth,
and with their antiqueness of architecture pre-
sent strange comparison to the neat and mod
ern buildings that surround them. Hills have
been levelled, and far beyond the old corpora
ton limits the marks Improvement are to be
seen, bearing plain evidence of the destiny of
Baltimore as large and important city
Landmarks, familiar to the eye from associa-
tions with interesting traditions, and linked to
the history of Baltimore by their conspicuity
in the detail of memorable events, have all dis
appeared. Even the sanctity Of the grave
yard has been invaded, and ghoul-ike the re-
mains of the departed have been made subser-
Went to the appetite of restless improvement.
Sovereign-like it controls the land of the peo-
Pile, and hills, forests and gorges have all un
dergcne a thorough system of engineering, and
with incredible rapidty been occupied with
houses and populated with thrifty class Of

One uf the greatest nuisauces with which the
people Of Kansas are afflicted, is the matter ID
County Seat elections. 1t il disease that every
County has had or must have-and when il has
had it once twice or thrice, il is still as liable to
have it as ever. But in the newer Counties 1t pre-
walls with the greatest viru'cnce.
As soon as County ran count or imagine NJ
enough population to entitle it to an organization
L sends mp its papers. and goes through the requ
site FORM The next thing is the location Of tht
Comfy Scat-probably in the election Of County
Commissioner, men have been ring in who an
favorable to certain interests. Half . dozen new
towns are at once laid ont, and q newspaper (ihe
leading paper in its section started in each town.
Then comes the fight! Each town is character-
ized by its opponents, as the very worst place On
the face of the giobe-a den of thieves swindiers,
and extortionists; while each town.hoids out big
inducements to secure the location, generally IN
the shape of bonds by lien worth hothing, to
erect County buildings at an expense OF many
thousands of dollars.
But til. ELECTIONS are the most interesting.
Each competitor makes it a point to poll ~ many
votes rs possible After getting in all the legal
votes. and the votes of all strangers or persons
who happen to be passing through, and importing
all they can from neighboring Counties, they pro-
ceed to manufacture as many more as they think
necessary. The result is sstonishing-morc'vote
polled than there are men, women and children
in the County. Frequently, by reason of one
town being more entcrprising in this business
than its competitors, the first vote decides the
question; but when it does not, the same game is
to play over again.
In Counties that have located their County
Seats, the experience is about the same. Rival
towns, thinking the increase of population has
been in their favor, get mp petition for vote ON
County Seat, and present it to the County Com
misioncrs. A petition with the requisite number
of signers can be got up for anything; and Coun-
ty Commissioners generally grant any petition
that in offered. Then the same scenes are enact
ed as described above-with the addition Of brib-
cry, and threats to burn rival towns or hang PROM
inent citizens.
The County Seat contests are farces, frauds and
impositions upon the people. They are heavy ex-
penses upon the Taxpayers, and they create bitter
enmities between tho various localities in the
Counties. Measures should he taken to remedy
the evil. There is nothing Of the kind known in
Missouri. We believe the Legislature, when it
organizes q new County, fixes upon location for
the County Seat, and there it has to remain, or
can be removed only upon conditions that can bc
complied with in but rare instances. The Legis-
lature of Kansas should do likewise. Locate the
County Seat for every County, and let it remain
there. Let the location be at the most central or
convenient point Iu this way, the question could
be settled more impartially, more satisfactorily,
and certainly more fairly than by the way it is |
now done.

CONsirENCY, THE JEwEL--There is q vast
amount of denagogism and "poppycock" in this
cry of corruption" which some of the papers and
disappointed politicians of Kansas keep harping
upon SO constantly. They have it on the brain,
and are giving it to the public i'm nauseating guam
tities. We suspect that some selfish motive has
more to do with it than hatred of corruption
Now, here is a paper, that every other iay WINS
wont to give from half a colum to column arti-
Gle on POMEROY's corruption. Within the past
few days, 1t has devoted that space to sloblering
over and Jenkinsizing Senator SpRAGuE, Of Rhode
Island. Now, in all corrupt practices, SpRAuGE
can discount POMERoY, and then beat him out of
his boots. Talk about POMEROY buying his Office |.
why, SPRAGUE owns the Rhode Island Lepisla-
tare, and the State, and elects himself Senator or
Governor whenever he chooses. POMEROY NAV

that, compared with tampering with rebel block
ade runners, buying their contraband cotton to
manufacture into goods to be sold to the people at
the immense prices which ruled during the war,
and selling contraband goods to the rebels in re-
tnmf PoMERoY has always been true to the
Republican party, at least so far a his known
acts are concerned; hut SpRAGuE is a constant
subject of distrus and is ready to do his share in
breaking down the party, whenever his ambitions
