DECISIONS OF TIE SUPREME COURT. The
question as to what are the liabilities OF COM
mon carriers is one of the greatest interest to
the business classes of the country generally.
Some time SINCE a decision was rendered by
the Supreme Court Of Illinois to the effect that
transportation companies are not responsible
for the loss Of cDns gnlnents stored by them 10
their warehouses; That decision is now over
turned by one rendered in the Supreme Court
Of the u. S., Involving the same Issues. There
was in addition, printed condition, attached
to the rccri pit for the goods, given at the date
Of shipment, which stipulated that all goods
were at the risk Of the owners while in the
warehouses of the company, unless loss should
occur through its negligence. The Court,
however, held that. in absence OF an express
agreement to that effect by the shipper, he
was not bound by such condition the decision
being that the carrier is liable TO the extent OF
his route, and until he has delivered the prop
erty to The next carrier. The decision may
be taken as 6ual settlement OF this important
question.
To the Supreme Court of the y. S on Mon
day last, in a case from Wisconsin: the Court
gave it as its opinion that railroads are pubic
highways, no matter whether they are built
and operated by the State or by private corpor-

therefore matter of public concern, to aid
which it is just as constitutional to levy taxes
as for the building of wagon road or any 9TH
er public work, and the collection Of these taxes
cannot be resisted by authority of article ' of
amendments to the Constitution OF the u. s.,
which provides that private property shall not
be taken for public use without just compensa-
ton
Another decision of the same tribunal, the
same day. was that common carriers cannot be
supposed to know the contents of packages not
particu arly described by the shippers. This
suit was against an express company in whose
charge there had been box of ntro-g ycerine
when it exploded and ruined a building OF
course the express company had 20 damages to
pay.-LwchLurg Republican,.

THE LOUISIANA TROUBLES. The dispatches
from New Orleans in reference to the troubles
in Grant parish of Louisiana excited cnrlsdera-
bic interest at the White House and at the
Department Of Justice to-day. The report OF
81 many negroes being slain is GOT credited by
the officials This parish is located in a re-
mote part Of the State, and Is without railroad
or Geographic communication, and first re-
ports are very apt to he exaggerated Private
information received from New Orleans to-day
mentions the widest reports Is being in clrcu-
lation, and that it would not be possible tn get
ut the exact ruth FIR two or three days. The
whites were very much cxaspcrated at the un-
provoked assault of the negroes, who took
them unawares and drove them out of the pa
IRISH town and also committed excuses anil it
is very likely that summary vengeance was
executed in some instance. The ringlcaders Of
the negroes are beloved to have generally eS-
capped. the most notorious Of them it is said
having been secretcd in New Orleans for more
than week past On Saturday evening
last General Long,trcct and a member OF
General Emory's staff left for Grant parish to
investigate the cause and extent of the dlStur-
bauccs. The fight Of Sunday occurred before
they could have arrived but they will no doubt
make a thorough examination and report the
result of their observations. Attorney General
Williams tclegrarhed this afternoon to Mar
shall Packard at New Orleans, to send to the
department. as soon as possible, a reliable
statement of the whole affair. -Baltimorr Sun,

a chcrry-stonc, put period to the lives of
three iurants while two died of putting one a

swallowing coins finished two, and swallowing a
pin quickly prickcd on grim Death for one. a

us a produce outlet had succeeded in get

hands for federal aid. Federal justice in
an equal apportionment of appropriations
is Indispensable to our agricultural and

point comes in the most reckless and use
less abuse of the President, the courts and
Congress. The following TRADE could
not have been prepared by any except
those IN the interest of our commercial
rivals. The REPUBLICAN showed the
other day that from Montreal down to
Brunswick, in Georgia, almost every
seaport has its application before
Congress. Every one of these cities has
already its lines tapping the Mississippi
valley, and taking away our corn and our

THE SICK NAN OF TIE TNTnT.

We quoted -o!onas Grosvenos, WHO :alis
back into the Republican party from sheer
| horror at the total abnesatSog Of fixed
| principles demonstrated BY his late Dem.
ocratic allies. We have followed ana ex.
posed the game by which Theses partisans
| here have spread abroad the inistortunes
of Louisiana as . beggar displays his
sores. The latest exposure consisted in
notice given by al! the Democratic reso.
lutions. from Texas to Pennsylvania. Of the
desperate condition Of our State. It was
as it the family of an afflicted person had
requested the simultaneous prayers Of all
the churches for some moribund sinner.
Louisiana has been sufficiently advertised
as the sick 3nan Of the Union. She lies
on the ward bed Of the hospital. Polit-
zeal professors lead their classes to a
diagnosis of her many maladies. and
TIE students make notes Of hey
case and condition. Why those who
contend for the Independent ability of
State to protect itself, should resort to
this mendicant exposure we can not i'm
agine. They even boast OF laying the
"iniquity' before the world. In what the
"iniquity consists we can not tell. Was
it the manipulation of "tabulated" re-
turns, with which ''these fingers" gave the
Fusion party their claimed majority, or
the decisions of Durell, sustained by Con-
gross and the executive? Each side says
Of the other that the claims are founded
in iniquity. Shall We destroy the fame
and credit Of Louisiana by admitting that
the acts Of heated political conflict are
fair exposition Of our public morality?
The question Of inifuity is still pending
before the people CT the United States.
The unfortunate affair OF Colfax has been
published. Committees of able colored
speakers traverse the North giving their
version Of this iniquity. Certain very
adroit politicians adopted the role of An
thony lecturiag on the dumb mouths"
of Caesars body. They brought Louisi.
ana before the Union in the same manner.
They try to raise contribution, which |
they are to put into their political peck
cts, by an exposure Of her wounds,
bruises and purifying sores. This has
excited the indignation ofthe Republicans,
colored and white. They are Justly |
indignant that this noble mother,
to whose fertile soil and genial climate
they owe SO much shall ''come upon the
parish. They therefore hasten to vindi-
cate her fame, to protest against the
calumnies. They will take her home,
nurse, nourish and protect her, and in
their own honest ability to maintain the
commonwealth, will withdraw her from
the shameful position in which the
