After mistaking our meaning in the
matter Of the word "shiftless," which it
construed literally, the Price Current falls
into the greater mistake Of applying to all
the Southern people what the REPUBLICAN
applied to q class. We said that there
We're too many idle young men and shift
less young women in the South, and it
was Of this class that we wrote in language
Of reproof. The saddling of the reproach,
which was intended for portion Of the
people, upon the whole community, was
the work Of the Price Current, and whether
this was done wickedly to misrepresent
the REPUBLICAN, or stupidity, because our
remarks were not properly understood,
tie blame of classifying the Southern
people as shiftless and idle must be borne
by the Price C,u7eat, and not by the RE-
PUBLICAN. We are used to this kind of
misreplese NATION from partisan Demo-
cratic papers, but when the organ of the
commercial community invests in this
kind Of wickedness, We can spare time to
correct it.

Important Decision.

An important case was tried in our
Court the past week. 1t was the case Of
James Williams VS.. Johnsey Blizzard,
being an appeal from Justice Bushey,
and was an action on note under seal
given by the appellant and another to the
appellee, where the amount of the note
was over 500, which placed it beyond
the jurisdiction Of the magistrate. The
plaintiff placed a certain amount Of credits
on the back of the note without the said
credits having actually been paid to him
by the defendant, for the purpose Of bring
ing it within the jurisdiction of the mag
istrate by making the amount claimed less
than 500. The justice of the peace
before whom the case was tried gave judg-
ment for amount of the note and interest,
less the credits. The defendant appealed
from this decision to the County Court,
and upon proof of the above facts before
the Court, Gall the Judges being upon the
bench the Court decided that a person
could not throw off a portion of a claim
so as to bring it within the jurisdiction q
a justice of the peace, and reversed the
Judgment of the justice below, with costs
to the appellee. This is an important
decision to all persons holding notes or
other claims amounting to more than
800; for if they throw off portion Of
the note or claim to bring it within the
jurisdiction of a magistrate, they lay
themselves liable to costs Their proper
remedy is to bring a suit in the County
Court. rt.-Bdltimoye COuntV Union.

A Chicago paper says a man named
Gambleton, from New York, but origi-
nally from Germany, was found dead in
the Lake here, in January last. He had
been in poor health, and it was thought
that he had committed suicide, but moth
ing could be found of his money, about
nine thousand dollars.
A detective learned that he was init
mate with German who came on from
New York with him, and he has been
watched closely ever since. He returned
to Germany, when telegram was sent to
the Consul at Bremen to watch him.
A despatch was received yesterday that
the proof was complete and the man arres-
ted.
1t appears he asked Gambleton to
walk in the evening to the Lake shore,
whore he killed him, and dressing himself
in Gambleton's clothes, he returned to
New York, drew out $4,000 in bank,
forging Gambleton's name, obtained goods
from the depot and storehouse by the
same means, sold the property and re-
turned to Germany with the proceeds.
He will be brought here for trial.

Sad Accident,

The Harrisburg State Jou,ndJ of the
21st inst, says A terrible accident occur
red about 8 o'clock last evening, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, within the city
limits, at Gallagher's switch short dis
tance above the round house, which was
attended with fatal consequences. Six
men were riding on shifting engine No.
439, which was being backed down from
the yards above town, when, without any
warning, collision occurred with the rear
end of freight train standing on the
track. The fireman succeeded in jump
ing off the engine without sustaining any
injury, and the engineer escaped with a
few slight scalds. -Four brakemen and q
conductor, who were riding on the engine,
were less fortunate. They were all severe
ly injured by the escaping steam and the
sudden concussion, one, and perhaps two,
fatally.
VIM. Calendar brakeman, a married
man. residing on Allison's hill had both
legs broken, and was otherwise severely
injured. He died a short time after the
accident, while being removed to the
depot in car.
Edward Yodcr, conductor, residing in
the lower part of the city, had one of his
legs broken. He was removed to his resi-
dence and received every attention
S. Swcger, brakeman, had both hands
scalded and badly crushed, arm broken,
and was injured internally. His death
was momentarily expected at II o'clock
last evening, the hour we left the injured
men.
Samuel Caster, brakeman, had his leg
cut below the knee and thigh bone broken.
1t is thought amputation will be necessary.
The injured men were promptly removed
in car from the scene of the accident
to the depot, and every effort made to allie
viate the sufferings of the survivors.
DR.. Rutherford, the company physician,
was summoned and rendered every med
ical and surgical assistance. The coroner
was notified, but up to late hour had not
arrived, and we are unable to give the
verdict
