Row IN THE MASSACHUSETTS CAHP.-There
is big row in the Massachusetts delegation
to-day. William A. Simmons was nomi.
mated as collector of customs for the district
of Boston and Charlestown, Mass, and
Joseph II. Manly to be supervisor OF internal
revenue for the New England district. These
nominations excited the greatest surprise,
and upon inquiry it was ascertained that they
had been made at the suggestion of General
Butler alone, aud without consultation with
bis colleagues. Manly is said to have been
connected with the Sanborn contracts, and
Simmons, who was lately supervisor of in-
ternal revenue, is not at all popular with the
delegation. The Massachusetts members
have been in consultation, and as result 1t
seems that Mr.. Boutwell, will support the
nominations and Mr.. Sumner will oppose
them. The majority of the members OF the
House will endeavor TO defeat the nominal
tiops.- Washington telegram.

THE TRICHlE.E TERRoR-DEATHs IN AT
RoRA- lFrom the Aurora Farmer and Me-
chanic, 18th. Henry, the second son Of
Mrs. Threuart, died of trichina last Friday
night about 10 O'Clock. For several days
previous it was evident that the poisonous
worms had SO impregnated his system that
bis vital energies had became gradually
weaker and weaker, and he could not re.
cover.
Just as the bells were ringing at IL O'Clock
last Sabbath, calling our cltiZ rs to attend
the funeral Of Henry Tbrenart, the spirit of
Mrs. Beutcr. the vile Of the German Metho-
dist minister, took its flight to regions Of the
blest. She fell 4 martyr to Christian duty,
nursing those afflicted with trichin9.
In furnishing your paper some ten or
twelve days since with notice of the cases
of trichino>is in our city, which arose
from eating pork fatiened by Mrs.
Threnart, then stated that trichina had
been found only in one of the two hogs
which had been fattcned together in the
same pen. After a more careful eXamina-
tiou have since found trichna in the flesh
Of both these hogs. This is an important
fact TO our farmers, as ii shows the disease
NAV be communicated from one hog TO an
other; and also shows the necessity of keep
ing hogs separated from those suspected of
being aztec ed by trichina. 1t is an interest
ing fact also that but one Of these hogs pre-
sented evidence of disease this was about
three months before it was killed; it ap-
peared unwell about a month, but had
apparently perfectly recovered, and both ami.
mts seemed healthy when killed, and the
meat presented nothing unusual to the naked
eye.
We see from these facts that meat appa-
reutly good, taken from hogs apparently
tree from disease when killed, is capable OF
producing one Of the most terrible and OBJ.
Strate diseases we have to contend With.
Now, as four OF the patients were treated
some time for typhoid fever, the symptoms
of which have u resemblance to trichinosiS,
and might be easily mistaken for the disease,
it is highly suggestive that the disease occurs
more frequently in our country than We are
aware OF, passing under the name Of typhoid
fever. The bare possibility that so loathsome
u disease can be produced by eating meat
shows tue necessity of having an ordinance
making it Enable offence to sell pork in our
city unless examined and found free from
disease by properly-authorized meat in

THE LIABILITIES OF COMMON CARRIERS
from the Cleveland Herald 1.-The case Of
Oppenheimer against the United States EX-
press Company, recently decided by the Su
preme Court of Illinois in favor of the de.
PENDANTS, is of importance to all shippers Of
goods and packages By express. The con-
Siynors in the case were merchants in the
custom of sending goods by United States
EXPRESS, and familiar with the rules OF the
company as stated on their receipt blanks.
One OF these limited the liability of the COM
pany to $50 on any one package when the
value was not stated and the insurance pre-.
MUM paid. A package sent with no
mark Of the value upon it, was lost, and
claim of $4,000 set up. The company re.
fused to pay, pleading the Limitation OF the
receipt blank. The Superior Court Of Chi.
cago decided in favor of the company, and
the Supreme Court Of Illinois has confirmed
the decision.
The decision is fortified by long array OF
presidents. The leading points are that the
common carrier is liable in respect to his re-
ward. and the compensation should be In
proportion to his risk. AS the carrier incurs
a heavy responsibility he has right to de-
mand from the employer such information as
will enable him to decide on the proper
amount of compensation LOT Inc services ant
risk, anG the degree Of care which he ought
to tesfow in discharging his trust. Such a
limitation of the carriers liability as that
made by the United States Express Com
Duny is held to be reasonable and consistent
with public policy. The court went further,
and held that the defendants claim of eX-
emption from liability on the ground OF
want of good faith in not disclosing the value
of the goods would have been sufficient.
even had there been no qualifying provision
in the receipt. The cousisnors knew
there was a recognized distinction On the
part of the company between valuable pack
ages and ordinary freight, and that thIs dis-
tincton was kept up in every stage OF the
proceedings from collection to delivery, eX-
ira care 6eing taken of valuable articles III
consideration of the higher rates charged,
The consiguors elected to take the risk OF
the loss rather than subject the plaintiffs to
the enhanced charges that would have been
made had the value of the packages been
disclosed. 1t is further decided that the oc-
casional disregard OF the rule BY the COM
many. even were such disregard proved by
showing settlement for higher amount
than ffiy dollars on an unmarked package,
would not affect the right of the company to
enforce the rule in any other case.
