SUPREME Jup1c1AL CorRr-

SUPREME JUDICIA CoURT-CHAPMAN, C. j
TUESDAY, Oct. 1.-The October term Of the
supreme judicial court full bench, for the hear
ing of arguments on questions of law, in cases
coming up for decision from the superior court,
began its session in this city this morn
ing Present-Chief Justice Chapman and AS
sociate Justices Wells, Colt, Ames and Morton
The court was opened with prayer by Rev. Lo-
ranus Crowell. There are IA cases upon the
docket 10 be argued, an unusually long list
After these are concluded, which Will probably
occupy nearly all this week and next, will come
the equity cases, probate appeals and divorce
cases, which will require but a single Judge.
There are 116 divorce cases on the docket, an
unusually large number.
The first case argued was that of Charles B.
Ford vssthe Fitchburg railroad company, an ac-
ton of tort to recover for personal injuries re.
ceiyed by the plaintiff from the explosion of a
locomotive boiler belonging to defendants
Plaintiff was engineer of freight train on that
road, and this accident happened March 81, 1870,
just as the train was starting from Fitchburg
for Boston, as the plaintiff alleges, on account
of the defective condition of the boiler, through
the negligence of the defendants in not
providing for him a better engine. The
case has been tried three times in the superior
court, where yerdctS for the plaintiff were rem
dered to the successive amounts of $4,000
S5375, and $685. the two first verdicts being set
aside respectively by Judges Wilkinson and
Scudler, and the case went up on exceptions
from the last verdict, when the court below
overruled the motion of counsel for the defence
to set aside the verdict The defendants con-
tend that share of the responsibility for the
use of the defective engine, if any defect was in
1t sufficient to cause the explosion, attached to
the plaintiff, as one of the servants or agents of
the corporation. The defendants say that "ln
the present case the repairs on the engine were
done partly by servants engaged portion of the
time in the same general occupation with the
plaintiff; that the plaintiff sometimes worked on
repairs and was about to do so when the accident
happened, and gave directions as to what re-
pairs were needed"
The plaintiff, on the contrary, denied this re-
sponsibility, and claimed that he was entitled to
rely on the master mechanic and other agents
of the road having authority and presumed to
have superior knowledge to him. Wood & Tor
rey for the plaintiff, Staples & Goulding for the

WASHINGTON, 0ct.1 Private advices received
here by the last Pacific steamer, from a source
heretofore found authentic, report a crisis in the
public affairs Of Japan, and indicate the ascend
ancy of the old Japanese party over the reform
ers, and the end, for the present, of the spread
of western civilization in the empire. Mr. Mori,
who has never assumed the rank of minister
plenipotentiary, announced as conferred upon
him months ago, is to be succeeded as charge
at Washington by young man, wholly inexpc-
renced in diplomacy. belonging to the non-pro-
gressiyeS, and who is not to do more than keep
up nominal representation of his government.
Gen. Horace CaprOn, the commissioner of agri-
culture, transferred from the same post at Wash
ington on the commentator of our own gov
eminent, has been discharged-a fate that was
forcshadowed in these dispatches several months
ago; and the services of Peshine Smith, taken
from our department of state to organize the
law department Of Japan, are likewise termin-
ated.
Information also r ceived from Europe repre-.
SCENTS the embassy to the western treaty powers
as stranded in London without funds or author
ity to proceed with their functions. The work
on war vessel under construction in New York
is also stopped for want of money, only S65,000
having been paid on the contract made by Min
lister Mori, under which $500 900 was to he paid
by installmentS for the vessel when complete.
On account Of these complications MIR. Brdseye
G. Northrup, the Connecticut state commissioner
of education, declines the similar position ten
dered him some time ago by the Japanese gov
eminent.

I'M. c. A.-The regular monthly meeting
of the young mems Christian association, held
at their rooms last evening, was unusually en-
thusiastic and encouraging. welcome greet
ing was extended to Mr.. Joshua Freeman, for
merly of Clinton, who has recently been invited
to give his entire attention to the superintend-
ence Of their Christian abors in this city. After
brief statement of his past experience, and of
his ardent love for the work in which he is
about to engage, stirring addresses were made
by many of the pastors of the city heartily en-
dorsng the enterprise, and urging all the friends
of the cause to warmer services for its future
success.
That the newly determined purposes of the
association for the overthrow of vice and the
increase of vital moral sentiment in the city
may be insured, it is evident that an increased
treasury is demanded 1t was then stated that
five thousand dollars would be needed to carry
out their intended work for the current year,
one half Of which amount has already been
pledged. We cannot believe that those having
the highest interests of our city at heart can
suffer so noble an enterprise to be retarded for
lack of funds
