matter. or ought to be, with those who nominated
him, whether not he is an attorney for the rail
road mentioned, and whether he is capable.
The Chicago Journal, quite as good au-

''The simple fact that Hon. A. NJ.
Craig was one of the signers of the report
of the Railroad Committee in the Consti-
tutional Convention settles the matter.
To accuse him of beinga sympathizer with
the railroads is as absurd as it would have
been ninety years ago to have accused one
of the five men who submitted the Decla-
ration of Independence to the Continental
Congress of being Tory. The cases are
precisely parallel. No man in Illinois has
better record on this subject than Judge
Craig. We have made careful in

abilities since he has been placed in nom

pedially the leading lawyers of this city
and of other parts of the State-assure US
that not only does he possess one of the best
judicial minds in Northern Illinois, but he

al political parties for its prudent management
OF our difficulties with Spain. Mr.. Beck, of
Kentucky, in manly way, the other day,
expressed on the part OF the democracy OF the
House their appreciation of this fact. He said
that - if there was anything which the Presi-
dent had managed well, it was the negotiations
with Spain. The President might have plunged
the country into ificultes, and perhaps have
sgerandizsd himself at the expense of the coun

An interesting case, involving the right of a
city to destroy property supposed to be Infec-
tious on board vessels was before the Baltimore
city court on Saturday last. There were four
teen cases brought by the crew of the David
Stewart" to recover the value of clothing de-
stroyed at quarantine last spring. The city So
licitor held that the destruction of the property
referred TO was not the taking of private prop
erty for public use, and did not rest upon the
right of eminent domain. which involves com
pt nsatiOn, but was police regulation, founded
upon the natural right, adopted by the common
law, by which the state or city regulates the
use OF private property, and insures its own
self-pr lection. The counsel for the sailors,
fer msny reasons which he adduced, contended
Il at the city was liable to the extent of the
value of the property destroyed, and the court
TOOK the matter under advisement.
