All Sin as a Domestic.

Is the Chinaman to be the domestic
servant of the future3 Will another
census show him stealthily supplanting
the European in our households, and
setting up his gods on the kitchen man
tells of this Christian landI i stoutly be-
lieve not. The Chinese, whether miners
or menials, are hardly more numerous in
the United States than they were five
years ago. Forty centuries have
been too much for Mr.. Koopmanschoop
and his emigrant runners. Even when
the Chinaman comes to the States he
leaves his wife and children behind him !;
he comes here with no thought of rest
ing until he can rest at home his SUI
preme wish is ever to return TO his native
land, and if he be so unhappy as to die
in exile, his bones at least must be borne
back to sacred soil. Surely, great ele-
mentamong us is not to be built up by i'm
migration of this kind. Masses of foreign
population thus unnaturally introduced
into the body polite, must sooner or
later disappear like the icebergs that
drift upon the currents of orr temperate
seas, chilling the waters all around them,
yet themselves slowly wasting away un-
der the influence of sun and wind, hav-
ing in themselves no source of supply,
no spring of energy, no power of self
protection helpless and inert amid hos
tile and active forces their only part,
endurance their only possible end, ex-

Liabilities of Common Carriers.

The Supreme Court OF illinois has
rendered an important decision regard
ing the liability of common carriers for
goods lost by fire while in their care. In
the case at issue it seems the Merchants
Dispatch Company shipped goods by the
way of Chicago to firm in Mattoon,
ILL.,, and while the goods were in ware
house in the former city awaiting reship-
ment, they were destroyed 10y fire during
the great confiagration. The Court de-
cided as follows: Held, 1st-That the
company is common carrier, and there
fore an insurer of all goods received by
it for transportation against all accidents
except those arising from the act of God
or public enemies. 2d-In the absence
of a special contract Git seems) a common
carrier must transport goods by the most
usual, safe, direct and expeditions route.
Failing in any OF these particulars, un.
less prevented by inevitable accident, he
must be held Liable for loss. 3d-The
insurance continues to the end of the
route, Notwithstanding the goods may
be stored in warehouse by the way for
reshipment. 4th-It was claimed that
the great Chicago fire was the act of
God; but the Court did not decide this
point, since the quickest and usual way
of shipment to Mattoon was not through
Chicago, but Indianapolis; so the matter
turned on No. 3 supra.

Extraordinary Scenes ON the Acquittal
Of Murderer.

II was one of the most extraordinary
scenes ever witnessed in court of JUS
tice, last evening, when the jury came
into the Oyer and Terminer Court and
rendered a verdict of not guilty in the
case of John Scannell, who put four bull
lets through his victim, Thomas bona
hue. The prisoner jumped up and en-
braced his little paralyzed sister, and
kissed and Rugged her, while Judge
Barrett hammered on the bench and
called out, "Silence, gentlemen, silence!"
The audience would not and could not
be kept quiet. Cheer after cheer and
rounds of clapping resounded through
the Court. The Judge was furious, and
repeatedly ordered the Court officers to
preserve order. The audience could not
be restrained from continual clapping
and cheering. Meantime, the prisoner,
family and friends were kissing and hug
ging all around. The Judge waved his
gavel furiously over his head, the Court
officers rushed into the crowd, hammer
ing their fists on the benches and crying,
"Silence But still the prisoners fam
lily were kissing and hugging and utter
ing loud cries of rejoicing, while the
audience were cheering. The Judge, in
stern tones and in voice trembling with
indignation, remanded the prisoner until
Wednesday, to ascertain whether he was
still insane, and the audience, who were
nearly all friends of Scannell, charged
into the outer hall, yelling and cheering.
The Judge, as he left the Court, banged
the side door after him, remarkIng that
the prisoner would have TO come up
again, and the District Attorney and as.
sistants and Donahue's friends walked in
body out of the door. The verdict was
the most unexpected one ever rendered
in New York Court. The charge was
directly unfavorable to the prisoner, and
the jury were out about one hour. When
they were coming back, Mrs. Scannell
put her handkerchief to her eyes, and
wept and sobbed violently. The prisoner
leaned over her shoulder and whispered
TO her, and when the verdict was rem
dered the prisoner reached over to the
"press" table and shook hands with the
reporters. and warmly thanked them for
the fair reports they gave, saying, "You,
gentlemen of the press, have saved me
by the fair reports you have given" He
put out his hand, and some of the re-
porters shook it, and others shrank back
from shaking hands with man charged
with committing murder. The prison
er's friends and family went off i'll an ex-
cited, joyous and iubilant crowd, fanked
by the Sheriff officers. --Ne,O York San.

Intense Excitement in Madrid Over
Grants Message.

MADRID, Dec. S.-The message of
President Grant occasions great excite
mert. A complete summary of the Gu
ban section was cabled to Senior Collan-
ties, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and an
informal meeting of the Ministry was
held to-day. Its great verbosity startles
the Spanish statesmen. A days delay
in sending in the message is regarded
suspiciously, and the belligerency dis
claimer will be variously discussed in to-
morrow's newspapers. Duplicity will
probably be charged, and the ultra or
gans intimate threats of Carlist recog-
milton. The newspapers are issuing ex-
tras, and the streets are crowded. The
excitement is equal to that shown over
the Virginius affair."

Accidental.

Miss Richer, aged about IA years, was
dangerously shot while returning from a
coon hunting in Somerset County, Penn.
She was walking by the side of young
man, who carried small pistol in his
pocket, which was accidentally dis
charged. The ball from the weapon
penetrated Miss Reibers face below the
jaw bone, and passing upward broke out
all the teeth on one side of her mouth,
and passed through the root OF her
tongue, lodging in the cheek on the op-
posite side OF her face from which it EN-
tered. Her condition is critical.
