IMPORTANT MARINE DECISION.

The Portland correspondent of the Boston
Journal gives the following report Of an i'm
portant marine decision made in the Supreme
Court of this State in session at Portland
In 1864 the ship Charles E. Pencil, Capt.
George M. Melcher, master and part owner,
was chartered to go from New York to San
Francisco, with mixed cargo. The captain,
at the same time, made another charter (com-
monty known as guano charter also to go
to San Francisco and thence to the Chinchas
for guano, and thence to Harrisburg. Capt.
Melcher took out two policies of insurance,
one on the San Francisco charter and the
other on the guano charter, but the latter was
only on the voyage from New York to San
Francisco, Capt. Melcher intending to insure
the rest of the voyage to the CEinchas and
Rotterdam upon his arrival at San Francisco.
The vessel was wrecked on the coast of Bra
zil, taken to Rio Janeiro, condemned and
sold, the voyage being broken up. The poll
cy issued by the Ocean Insurance Company
insured $1,000 on charter, $2650 on primage
and $500 on property on board ship.
| The defence at first was that the sale of tbs
vessel was unjustifiablc, but the jury decided
otherwise. The next objection was that tht
policy did not in terms cover the guano char
ter, and that no guano voyage had begun and
no freight earned thereon. The Court have
overruled all these points, and given judg-
ment for the plaintiff in the sum of $4,000,
with interest from April %, 1865, amounting
to some $4,000. The Ocean Insurauce
Company, it is said, was reinsured in the Sun
Mutual Insurance Company of New York,
and the latter company conducted the defence
The plaintiff was represented by A. A. Strout,
Esq, of this city, and the defence by John
Rand, Esq, and Edward NJ. Rand. Esq. OF
this city.

LOUISIANA.

Political events in Louisiana have been
the most exciting and remarkable in the
fall elections. with prospect of blood
less termination and an improvement OF
the politics of the State. There is little
doubt that Warmoth is an unprincipled
scoundrel, determined to hold political
power in the State by any means and al
all risks, and that he has about reached the
limit of his rascality. Ifhe shall be thrust
out from his place in the State government
and made to relinquish the power which
he holds to practice his wickedness and
keep the State in turmoil, the people OF
Louisiana will have reason to rejoice and
