pany for damages arising from 6nelr action
in removing their slaughterhoUse buildings
from the right to the lett bank of the river.
He represented that lie obtained from the
company the exclusive privilege Of keeping
a restaurant and liquor store on their
grounds, and accordingly expended a large
amount Of money in improvements, based
on remaining in the location permanently
Plaintiff leased from the company piece
Of ground on the right bank of the river and
adjoining the slaughterhOUses of the COM
pany, on which he was to build a house to
be used as a store for the sale of cigars and
liquors; the store to revert at the conclusion
Of three years to the company; Wharton to
be allowed on the rent, from time to time
for the cost Of the building. Wharton built
the store, but while be was absent al the
North, probably. as the court loosely re-
marked, for a supply of Connecticut cigars
and Cincinnati brandy, the company re-
moved the slaughterhOuses' to the left bank
OF the river, and when the plaintiff
returned found all his CUSTOMERS had
flown. He therefore sued the company.
Tho court held that the company had no
right to remove their buildings from the
right to the left bank of the river, accord
ing to bis Interpretation OF the Law creating
the SlaughterhOuse Company, and as the
plaintiff contracted with the company I'M
der that view Of the law, he was entitled to
damages. As the testimony in relation to
the damage sustained by plaintiff was
somewhat conflicting, and as himself
brought il down to about $500 per month,
Judgment was given In plaintiffs favor for
that amount, less the monthly rent for tine
time during which the lease was to run.

It is becoming more and more evident
every day that the naked issue between
Greeley and the Cincinnati platform on one
side, and Grant and the Philadelphia plat
form on the other, is the very best pre-
sentatiOn Of the controversy that can be
made. It may not be perfect; It may give
undue prominence to some questions, and
insufficient emphasis to others. 1t may not
present the questions of greatest political
Importance just as many persons would
like to have them presented, and as they
hoped to see them presented. Still, the
controversy on these issues, and between
these candidates, is as nearly perfect as
large popular conventions could make
them A dozen Liberal conventions, and
as many Democratic ones. might be held,
without improving the situation, and with
out dissipating the dissatisfaction of those
who were displeased with the result at
Cincinnati. The Adams men might Join
in a call for a convention that would
nominate Judge Davis; and the Davis
men might unite in a call for a cOnven-
ton that would present them with
Voorhees,; and so a half dozen attempts
to improve on the result at Cincinnati
might be made, and all end in something
even more unsatisfactory to the Cincinnati
malcontents. The New York Post was not
satisfied with Cincinnati, and turned TO
Philadelphia for relief. But it is now still
more discontinued with Philadelphia than
with Cincinnati. It expected the Radicals
would nominate Grant, of course: but it
hoped they would at least present reason
able and sensible platform. It is therefore
UNNECESSARILY with the garrulous
which they actually did put forth
It calls their platform ''wretched tumble
of iuanities and platltudes, with almost as
little relation to the political duties of the
hour as Comforts Maxims, or the Westnlin-
ster Cateehism."
And so it will continue to be, after all
the conventions that can be called should
be held. The case as it is now presented
wOulu be found less objectionable and more
than any new presentation of
It. The Baltimore convention can not inn
prove it, not even if the Democratic oppo-
1ents of Greeley should have their own
way with it, The very wisest thing the
Baltimore convention can do, therefore, is
ct the case stand as it is.
