Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1871-10-05

BY reference to our dispatches yesterday
morning, it will be seen that Senator Glib
son: OF Campbell, wishes an inquiry insti-
tuted into the fact whether or not the du-
elling oath is required to be taken by men,
bers of that body. We have heard it hint
ed that one of the Senators is obnoxious to
the provisions of the law relative to the
heathenish practice of dueling. From
some reason, the oath was omitted in the
Senate, while members of the other
House were required to take it. Mr.. Glib
sons resolution is just and timely. The
people of Tennessee want no laws framed
by duelists.

RAILROADS AND SHIPPERS IN COURT.

Some days ago we published an opinion
of the Supreme Court in the case of thu
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georges
Company, in which the court laid down
i'll broad principles, the liability of rail-
roads for damages to goods, by negligence,
beyond the line of their own road, unless
by speciar contract they limited their re-
sponsibility to the terminus of the road.
The Court, in subsequent case, resting
t. some extent on the same principle, was
asked to review its former holding and
modify it to the extent that unless spe-
cial contract holds them responsible for a
safe delivery at the point of destination,
the Company completed its undertaking
when it delivered the goods in good condi-
ton to the next connecting road.
In the case of MeElwee and Others
against the Western and Atlantic rail-
road, Judge Freeman, yesterday morn
ing reviewed at length the decisions
and elementary principles bearing on this
question, and with emphasis re-afirmed
the principles laid down in the case first
referred to. In the latter opinion and in
fact in all the decisions of the court thus
far, there is a manifest determination to
hold common carriers to the full measure
of their liabilities as established in the de-
cisions of our ablest and purest
courts and as set forth in such
able works as Redfield's. As sta
ted by Judge Freeman, railroads are now
the almost universal means for transports
ing the products of our farms, mines and
manufactures. They are rapidly extend
ing their lines in every direction and be-
ing speedier medium for transporting
goods, gradually monopolize this entire
and gigantic business. Having immense
capital, shrewd officials and great ambition
they are fast gaining undue influence over
our legislative bodies, and sometimes over
our courts. In view of these facts we are
glad to see so fixed determination on the
mart of our court of last resort to adhere to
old and rigorous principles of law, and
apply them strictly in all the large class of
cases which arise under this class of con-
tracts. The people can not too jealously
guard their rights as against these power
full corporations.
They must see to it that their legislators
do not, by new enactments, concede any
thing in the respects referred to, for ship
pers. even as the law now stands, contend
with railroads under great disadvantages.
In all cases where negligence on the part
of railroads is manifest the law should be
rigidly enforced. If our courts continue
TO administer the law as now announced,
the people will be protected as amply as
could be expected.
The harrassing delays of litigation and
the expenses to which shippers are often
subjected to secure clear legal rights are
grievances which they of course can not
avoid. Rich railroads with able counsel
can, as our courts are organized, delay ag-
grieved parties for many years, but if at
the final hearing, the law is impaItially
and rigidly administered, Justice in a large
measure at least will be attained.

Bradley County Fair.


Cleveland is all life and hustle this week,
Old and young seem to have caught the spirit.
People from all parts of the county are gather
ing here to enjoy this the first Fair since the
late unpleasantness." 1rf--.
The grounds are very we'll laid off and i'm
proved, and theyiar very conveniently situa-
ted, being half mile only from the body of the
town, with a good road for either walking or
riding. Hacks are constantly running back
ward and forth to carry those who prefer that
method of locomotion. The situation of these
grounds gives very fine view of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, and in
turn can be easily seen from the railroad by
passengers las they fly past There are few
grounds, we think, in the State to compare with
these, when all points are taken into considera-
ton; and the improvements on the grounds
speak well for the managers and give promise
of q bright future
The President, j. II. Craigmiles, may be seen
at all times on the ground, giving the closest
attention to everything that needs care, and
seemingly, he is at each and every point just
when most needed.
The Secretary, j. H. Reynolds, is constantly
at his post, doing all that is possible to add in
terest; his Office is in the Floral Hall, where he
can most conveniently attend to all items of
business as gentlemen present their articles for
entry. He is we'll known as a thorough business
man. And from this little throne he seems to
smile most beRignly when the ladies appear
with their handiwork. He takes particular de-
light in all the arrangements of the floral de-
partment. Indeed every feature of the ar
rangement of the ground seems to have had
particular care bestowed. Much might be said
of the efforts of the various officers.
Surely this Fair will do much TO develop this
county.
In looking over the grounds at the different
departments of industry, we find almost every
one well represented. 4. d. B.

D1sr1NeU1sHED HIMSELF.

Vaughn, of the Senate, has distinguished
himself, as follows: 81 8 s. ra 500
General John Crawford Vaughn, chosen
Speaker of the Senate by a very complimentary
vote, is the Senatorial representative from the
Seventh District, distinguished as an officer IN
the Mexican war and in the late war as COM
mander of an East Tennessee brigade, in the
sConferate Service, and since the war as the
editor Of the Sweetwater Enterprise.
We would like for an explanation as to
how he distinguished HIMSELF as editor
of the Sweetwater Enterprise. The Banner
ought not to sport with this high dignity
in so wicked and reckless manner.

THE election of Gen. Vaughn as Speaker
ofthe Senate, causes great many Demo
cratic noses to turn up. Sensible men of
the party do not hesitate to express their
disapprobation of his election. A promi-
nent gentleman of the party, who once
held high political position in this State
expressed it mildly yesterday when he
said with much emphasis that 'he had
hoped that man with a higher order OF
talents would be chosen" He exhibited
disgust at the foolish choice. We have yet
to hear of a single reasonable man of either
party. who does not deplore the foolish
blunder of the Senate, in the selection OF
an ignoramous for a presiding officer.
