General Sherman has written letter to
friend in Boston in regard to the rebuilding of
the burned district OF that city. The most inn
portant suggestion which he makes is that OF
initiating London in storing the great bulk OF
goods in strong. plain warehouses outside Of
the city, simply keeping sample goods for the
stores in town. The location Of such ware
houses would naturally be at Convenient docks
or stations, so that the goods could be easily
and cheap1y handled, and the buildings erected
for this purpose would hot need to be other than
plain, unpretentious structures. The general
idea is that the bulk Of valuable stocks being in
remote warehouses, city fires would not be at
tended BY such great losses as now; and that
the warehouses would be less subject to the dan
gers Of fire by reason Of their isolation.

examined. Our existing Liquidation,
as we ventured to point out at the time, WAS too
hasty. It Vas not preceded by investigation.
It Was not based upon anything but desire for
cheaper transportation. The simple question
whether the railways generally, or any railway in
particular, could afford to carry at cheaper rates,
was not asked. That the whole Vest is suffer-
ing for the want Of cheaper transportation, es-
pecially to the eastward, will be admitted with
out argument. But an act Of the Legislature,
unaccompanied by detailed information Of any
kind, will never furnish us transportation nor
enlighten us as to- the means Of getting
it. If the Legislature wishes to do any
thing really useful in this direction,
let it improve the time, while this decision OF
Judge Woods and the counter decision from
Mclean County are grinding through the su-
preme Court, in making as thorough an inVesti-
CATION into the cost Of building and operating
railways, and the profit made thereon, as posi-
ble. This is the first step to any successful
solution Of the problem before us.

The testimony in the case Of the recent rail-
road disaster on the Pennsylvania Central Road,
near 11iflin, shows that what is termed an acci-
dent Was nothing more nor less than murder.
The train that was standing at the depot
was half an hour behind time, and the
train that ran into it was half an hour
ahead Of time. The result was col
lision between two trains which should have
been an hour apart. A clearer case Of human
butchery, without excuse, was never developed,
and yet what hope is there that the guilty par
ties will ever be punished No precaution was
taken by the conductor Of either train, although
neither Of them was On time, and must have
known that danger was to be apprehended at
any moment. The Pennsylvania Courts have
now an excellent opportunity to rebuke the
recent boast Of q railroad official, that the
public has no rights that railroads are bound
to regard.

every United States Senator, regardless Of his
party preferences. The substance OF what Mr.
schurz said is, that he will be true to his own
convictions Of the bestpolicy; that, wheneverthe
Administration does anything to which he ought
to give his approval and support, be will sustain
it; and that, whenever the Administration tends
to the opposite direction, he will oppose it. Mr.
schurz may be tolerably certain Of gaining
larger popular approval for this position than
be possibly could by agreeing to support or to
oppose all Administration measures, simply be-
cause they come from the Administration. Il
Senators and Representatives were universally
guided by such motives, their support or oppo-
sition Of measures would have more weight, and
legislation would be mora beneficial to the
country.

The present condition Of the Credit Mobilier
seems to be this: That Mr.. Oakes Ames will not
deny the authorship Of the letters which Colonel
MComb published; that he did offer the stock
to several Congressman, which offer was accept
ed in come cases and declined in others; and
that the memorandum Of names made by Col
onel M'Comb on the back Of one Of the AmeB
letters WAS taken down, not as indicating the
some Of those to whom stock was to be, or had
been, offered under the conditions specified in
the Ames letters. II this much shall be dis
covered by the Special Committee Of Investiga-
ton, Mr. oakes Ames ought to be- expelled for

Judge Nelson, OF the United States District
Court Of Minnesota, has made decision in
bankruptcy Of some interest to holders Of grain
receipts. George Atkinson & Co., afterwards
Atkinson g. Kellogg, we're Warehousemenin in Lake
City, and failed on Dec. 8, 1870, and went into
bankruptcy. At that time they had in store
21,500 bushels Of wheat, and had outstanding
receipts, issued to farmers, to the amount Of
$4,000 bushels. On the eve Of their failure they
issued two additional receipts for y 600 BUSHELS
and gave them to bank as collateral for certain
protested paper Of theirs. The question before
the Court WAS the distribution Of the property,
and Judge Nelson held that the wheat
deposited in the warehouse did nos
become the property of the warehouseman, but
remained the property Of the holder Of the re-
ceipts, that therefore, it was not subject to the
debts Of the general creditors Of the bankrupts.
The holders Of the receipts we're entitled to 3
proportionate distribution of the wheat in store.
The receipts issued to the bank, however, we're
not issued for grain received in store; and the
bank vas not in the position Of q bona tfde
holder Of receipt for goods in warehouse, and
was not entitled to any share in the distribution
OF the grain actually in store. They we're taken,
moreover, at time when the bank had reason
to believe that the warehousemen we're inso1-
vent. The bank could only share With the gen.
e1al creditors, and had no claim on tho wheat.

It is now given out that Mr. G. z. Garrison,
and other merchants and ship-owners Of New
York and Boston, hare sent out the money to
purchase Samana Bay from the Government Of
San Domingo, and to purchase other privileges
from the same Government. It is likely that
President Bsez will sell anything for money, but
he has, perhaps, about much lawful right to sell
samana Bay as our Government would have to
mere question Of time when Baez will be de-
posed, and perhaps executed, and new Govern
ment, repudiating all his unlawful contracts,
take his place. But nobody will question Mr.
Garrison's right to spend hismoney where and

The question Of the liability Of cities for ao-
cidents that occur within their limits is becom-
ing serions one. Every man who breaks leg,
or an arm, or meets with any injury, seeks to
recover from the municipality compensation for
the damage. The Supreme Court Of Illinois, in
recent decision, places wholesome restraint
upon this kind Of action. In December, 1870,
fire occurred in Centraia, which, among other
things, damaged piece Of sidewalk on one side
Of street. The city did not repair the side
walk, though its damaged condition was known.
fall of snow and frost followed, rendering
this piece Of sidewalk more dangerous. Within
week after the fire. q citizen, while seeking to
reach his own house, passed over this sidewalk
and was seriously injured, for which he sued
and recovered damages. The Supreme Court,
in setting aside this Judgment Us against law and
evidence, held that, under the circumstances, the
city had not been guilty Of negligence in repair
ing the sidewalk. It also held that q municipal
corporation is not liable for every accident that
may OCCUR within its limits; that ita officers are
not required or expected to do every possible
thing that human energy can do to prevent the
happening Of such accidents; that, when they
have exercised reasonable care, they have dis
charged their duty to the public, and that there
is an obligation On the citizen to exercise
care and caution; that the sidewalk in this
instance was unsafe was q fact known to the
plaintiff, and, there being good sidewalk On
the other side Of the street,he should have used
it that if persons will persist in passing over
what they know to be 9 defective sidewalk. any
injury they sustain must be attributed to their
own folly, and that, when person is aware Of
the danger and deliberately assumes it, he as
sumes also whatever risk there is in the UNDER
taking. This decision explodes the doctrine
that the city insures all the inhabitants against
injuries by accidents, and that it must pay for
limbs broken under circumstances where tho
danger was known to the sufferer.

Little else IVES done yesterday by the House than
to fix the length Of the holiday recess. An unsuc-
ceesful attempt WAS made to suspend the rules
and pass bill, which, in recognition of the exer-
tions Of the Boston Fire Department in eaving
s13,000, 900 Of United States property, appro-
priated $4,000 for the families Of the fremen
who perished in the fire. A similar fate befe1
bill to remove all political disabilities and make
amnesty general. Amendments to the Constitu-
ton we're proposed authorizing Congress to fx
one date for all State elections, extending the
term Of the President and Vice President to si1
years, the former to be ineligible for re-elec-
tion, and both to be chosen directly by the
people.
