the contract, and it was as good as
any Of its predecessors, under which
arms had been delivered by the gov
ernment to this same firm, to be by
them distributed and sold in time of
peace to different governments over
nearly the whole earth. Can this
notice, which was received on the
18th day of October, have a retroac-
tive effect so as to vitiate a contract
already made, and perhaps partially
carried out? The very inquiry, it
seems to US, exposes the absurbity
of the presumption. We do not see
how the principle is different from
that of a contract completely per
formed. The contract is the thing
to be damaged by the notice, and
the contract is q complete thing
Ghen it is agreed to and executed
by the contracting parties. 1t does
not need the performance of its stip-
ulations to perfect it as a contract.
1t is perfect without these, and is in
tended simply to secure these. If
they were already performed there
would be no need for the contract.
We have entered upon this inquiry
for the purpose of getting at the
just and equitable construction as to
the rights and duties of the parties
TO these contracts. Starting with
the belief that the firm of Reming
ton had no right to demand the de
livery of any arms upon pre-existing
or any other contracts after the gov
ernment received notice of the
French agency, and almost convinced
that the agents Of our government
had committed a b,under in deliver
ing the arms, we find that the reason
ing upon what we understand as the
law of the case leads us away from
this view, and leads ineXorably to
conclusion that the contracts made
before notice were good, and that
the government was bound to com
ply with their stipulations by deliy-
ering arms upon such contracts even
after notice. If the government had
been private party to the contradt,
it seems impossible to avoid the con-
clusion that is would have been Ii
able to respond in damages for
breach Of such contracts. If the
conclusions are incorrect we are en-
tirely willing to be convinced.

From all accounts Greece seems
to be rising from its degradation in
to a certain degree of prosperity.
Athens which in 1885 had 10000
people, now has 10000 inhabitants,
is the seat of one Of the best banks
in Southern Eur pe,and very large
commerce. The Greeks having been
neutral in every late European war,
ha, e been able to carry on an exten-
sive carrying trade. This they are
eminently fitted to do, Greek sail
ors being among the most skilIful
in the world. Statistics show that
Greece now owns 5,l56 merchant
vessels. Her trading houses are es-
tablished all over the world, New
York city alone containing ten. The
opening of the Suez Canal has great

marks at the railroad meeting, last EVENING
puoIlshed IN your paner of this morning. there
are several material mistakes, which 1 desire

the purpose of placing the road in nroneT
shape, several gentlemen of Fremont. F6storia
and other places had agreed to ta ake the second
mortgage bonds OF the company at the rate OF
Slo,uuO per mile. What l said upon this
point was tnat the gentlemen referred to had
agreed to take second mortgage bonds for the
| bonds which had been heretofore issued for
building the road from Fremont to Findlav,
and issue first mortgage bonds on the whole
line at the rate Of $4,000 per mile, free of ali
membranes, the proceeds to be applied az.
cluslvely to the ironing and equipping Of the
road.

road, when completed, does not earn enough
to pay the contingent expenses, then those
who hold the mortgage bonds will have tc
take the risk. The whole amount of stock is
limited 100000 first mortgage and $1,000.
900 second mortgage bonds, the proceeds Of

substance OF what said was, that if the road

Two BOILERS in the Soap and Can
die factory of Woods d Cornahan, in
Cincinnati, exploded with terrific
force, on the afternoon of Monday
last. The report says:
In the factory wers about eighty
persons. Two of these were hor
ribly mangled and instantly killed
two were slightly wounded and all
the others escaped. On Baymiller
street, over a half mile distant by ac-
tual measurement, in a bee line, three
little girls in a front yard were jump
ing rope. Sixteen feet of this boil
er was hurled all that distance over
the house tops, upon their heads.
Two of them were instantly killed
and the third was mortally wocnded,
but is not yet dead. This piece OF
boiler is a perfect cylinder, sixteen
feet four inches long, twenty-four
inches in diameter, and weighed
about q ton. Persons who saw it,
say that it looked like a stove pipe
sailing in the air just above the
roofs. A party of ladies on York
st. eet, more than half a mile north
from where it alighted, saw it going,
and say that it resembled a board
sailing in the air. The front yard
in which it alighted is not more than
eight feet deep, and is inclosed by
an iron railing fence. The boiler
landed in the yard parallel with the
fence, iniuring the ratings but
slightly, but tearing up the stone
steps to the doors. Further down
the street was about four feet more
of the boiler, with the head of the
same. This portion was much torn.
