Rather an odd law case is mentioned in the Liver
pool newspapers One Dolan, who is significantly
described as householder" brought action against
the London and Northwestern Railway Company
to for injuries sustained by himself and two
of his horses in collision upon the defendants
line. The plaintiff, being sharply cross-examined,
admitted that he had written letters Immediately
after the accident probably to relieve the kind
anxiety Of his friends in which he said that he was
sound and well, and acknowledged that he was
"foxing little" as "he wished to get something
handsome out of the Company" Upon the develop
ment of this admission Dolan's lawyer expressed
regret at having had anything to do with the case,
and was 80 disgusted that then and there be threw
it up. Then the Company's lawyer became finely
magnanimous, and, without allowing that the plain
tfi had any claim for personal injuries offered to
give him flO0. This was accepted and the case
closed, Mr.. Dolan getting off much better than he
appears to have deserved. Indeed he may be said
to have had extraordinary good luck for first he
comes out OF collision almost uninjured and then
he receives Elo0 for attempting to cheat the de-
PENDANTS out of excessive and unreasonable dam
ages Nothing is said Of the horses, nor whether
they also played sick, and perhaps the GlOO were
given as liniment for their LESSONS.

There is some immediate prospect of an
adjournment OF Congress The Senate has
fixed on June % as the day for winding up
the session. 1t is thought that the House will
concur in this action to-day. Both branches
are rushing through their work accordingly /;
and il must be said that up to this date the
work does not amount to much.

Since the building season has opened the
wages paid common laborers have generally
been 81 or Sc 25 per day, though in few
exceptional cases they have risen to So 80.
In view of the prevailing depression in busI
ness and the very small amount of building
which our capitalists feel warranted in under
taking, as well as in view of the great efforts
which the supposed destitutiOn of the labor
ing classes have lately entailed upon our
charitable citizens, it was not expected that
the laborers would so early be combining to
stop work as means of compelling
the payment of higher wages. at least
while they adhered to the eight-hour system.
Some fifty or sixty laborers employed on the
new TRIBUNE building, however, decided to
strike yesterday, and refusing tho com

New-York tribune., 1874-05-20

In the passage of the bill abolishing mole
ties by the House of Representatives, Ameri-
can merchants have secured substantial
victory. The House has shown itself to be
sensitive to the influence of public opinion /;
and it may be fairly said that the abolition of
the infamous seizure law, so far as the House
has abolished it, is the direct result of popu-
lar appeals made to Congress. 1t now remains
for the friends of the repeating bill to look to
the Senate. There are so many ways by which
languid body like the Senate may kill the
bill. that it will need persistent effort and
careful watching to yet save it. There was
no appreciable opposition in the House yester-
day but every enemy of the bill depends on
the Senate to defeat it. AS it has passed, this
measure destroys the moiety system, provides
for the forfeiture of only the items underval-
ued on an invoice, and makes it impossible
for CustOm-house runner to march into a
merchants counting-roOm and make off with
his books and papers.

Shameful as the South Carolina scandal is,
there is yet an element of the grotesque in it.
Gov. Moses, accused of stealing the public
funds, is sought by Sheriff with writ of
arrest and "an unpleasant duty to perform"
To him the Governor replies that he thought
as much. He refuses to be arrested and
orders out the military. ThereupoD, the
Moses mansion, as it is styled in the dis
patches, is surrounded by State troops (col-
oredD who guard all approaches. Finally,
finding this seclusion irksOme. Gov. Moses
consents to give ball. but he will surrender
only to the Coroner, never to the Sheriff.
Like Brooks of Arkansas he is choice about
the person to whom he gives up his dignity.
No wonder that the report concludes by say
ing that there is great excitement and busi-
"ness is paralyzed" The whole proceeding
has fine flavor Of Central American politics
about it.

Latest reports from the scene of the mourn
full disaster in Massachusetts add nothing to
what has already been said concerning the
extent of that calamity. Investigation of the
ruined water-works discloses the fact that
there was great carelessness in construction,
with criminal desire to be economical at the
expense of safety. A committee of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature is viewing the ground,
with an intention of preparing formal re-
port on the subject. 1t is said that members
of this committee express great Indignation at
the fimsiness with which the reservoir was built.
1t is pleasant to observe that there has been
generous response to the call for help made in
behalf of the afflicted ivillagers. Aid is
coming in from all quarters but it is ex-
plicitly stated that the urgency of the demand
is still very great.

eighth page. begins its work with papers OF
Importance. The address of Mr.. G. W. Curtis
clearly sets forth the wide scope OF usefulness
possible to the Association. and indicates tne
great variety of topics that may fall witnih
it's consideration. Ex-President Woolsey urges
the exemption from capture of private prop
erty on the seas, and places in strong hgnt
arguments both new and old to enforce this
doctrine, SO evidently in accord with sense
of Justice. Mr.. Gamaliel Bradford shows the
evils of an irredeemable currency, and the
bopelessness of schemes for financial relief
which do not strike at the root of the trouble.

Mr.. Ellis II. Roberts and other spokesman
and special friends of Senator Conkng took
great pains yesterday to vindicate him from
the suspicion of having been in any way en-
ployed in the blackmailing of Messrs. Phelps
Dodge g. Co.. or in any of the other legal
robberies of Mr.. Special Agent Jayne.
The substance of Mr.. Roberts's plea
was, circumstances admitted to be
suspicious, but guilt not proven"
Mr.. Beck, an obstinate Scotcbman who be-
lieves a spade to be spade, insisted on the
fact that the Senator, at any rate, was shown
in the evidence as counseling and advising
with Jayne g. Co., and very properly urged
that no Senator or Member should act as cOun-
sci in such cases.

The Cabinet crisis in France seems likely to
have temporary end by the formation of a
Ministry composed partially of former Minis
ters and partially of new members, who will
probably favor the measures for the organiza-
ton of MacMahon's powers. IL such Minis
try should be formed, it would have to depend
chiefly on the supporters who were numeri-
cally incapable of preventing the defeat OF
the Duke de Broglie. Under such circum-
stances the confusion in the Assembly may be
greater than it was before. After all, this may
not be so very unfortunate, for it will tend
to increase the impression, which has already
been gaming ground very rapidly in France,
that the interests of the country absolutely
require the dissolution of the Assembly.

BoUNTIFUL HARvEsT.-The crops in
all the states promise an increased yield
over last year. In addition to the cheering
reports we have had from all the great
Srtiu-produciug states of the west aud
Midl states the intelligence is received
from Ohio and Indiana that the crop Of CO.
reals Will be more than an average. Corn
and fruit In the latter state are back ward,
but with a few weeks OF favorable wealth
or very large yield IL anticipated. Later
reports from the cotton and cane produce
ing parishes Of Louisiana agree that the
harvest will be abundant. The corn crop,
however, does not promise TO be good. All
tho Texas crops, with the exception ofcOrn,
are good. In some OF the counties the corn
raised will hardly suffice for hume con-
sumption. In Wisconsin and Illinois the
prospects are brighter for all products than
they have been for ten years. This will be
gratifying news to the poor, Tor with album
cant harvests in all tho states OF the chief
lifc-givihg products prices must fall as a
matter of course. The tobacco and fruit
crops in some states are poor, but as these
articles are luXuries that can be dispensed
with, no serious injuries can result.

after the Christian era, the average dura-

Is so years. In the sixteenth century the

From Roberts Brothers, Il Jston, VIC have
two volumes, which are, thus far, the gems
Of the season. The first OF these, some
WoMEN's HEARTS, Ia a collection OF eight
stories, ny Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton,
whose charming volume of Bed Time SiO-
ries published last winter, we had the pleas
ure Of bringing to the notice Of our read
ers. As the apt title OF the book implies
these stories ore love stories, uut they arc
marked by freshness and originality
which quite removes them from the con-
mon class of such productions. Mrs.
Mouitou evidently has pure aud true wo-
mans heart, and having this, she earnest
~ believes in true love aud in the eIei nal
and undying nature of such love. In
these days of loose and careless thought in
matters Of love aud marriage such book
as this CONES TO one almost like breath Of
beavon.-The other volume bears the name
oi SEA AND SHORE, aud il a very happy
compilation OF sweet and graceful pp-
ems relating to the sea. The selections are
made from wide variety OF sourccs-the
list Of authors embracing all those best
known aud others who are less familiar.
The editors, who are understood to lie two
Boston ladies', have done their work well.
Both these volumes are daintily bound
in a cool gray cloth, which gives them an
attractive and altogether unique appear
ance, and they are well worthy the tbous-
anls of readers which they are sure TO find
in these hot months.
From tho same publishers we have also
ScRoPE; or, The Lost Library, a Novel OF
ord hv
Perkins, and IN HIS NAME, by Rev. L. T..
Hale. The last named volume Is another
Of those stories by Mr.. Hale, all OF which
do honor alike to their authors head and
heart, and each Of which is marked by that
helpful, healthful moral and religious tone,
which is so much needed in the active, I'M
easy life OF the present day, and which no
other author knows SO well how TO intro
duce in a natural, unaffected manner. For
sale by Cheney & Clapp.
one Of The most timely books of the sea-
son is one from Estes K Lauriat, Boston,
and Ia entitled OUR VACATIONS; WHERE
