Correspondence OF the Richmond D>spatcn.1
DASviLLs, Va, February Is, 1875.
The president Of the Tobacco Association
has received a circular from the Tobacco
Board OF Trade of Cincinnati setting forth
taat the tobacco men Of Cincinnati deem ii
"unjust to the consumers and producers OF
tobacco" and as 4 revenue measure impolI'
tic, to add any additional burden upon az
article already 80 heavily taxed" and re-
ouesting all members OF Congress in sympa'
Ihy with their interests to use their utmost
endaavors to prevent any advance in the rate
of tax on tobacco" This action of the Gin.
cisnati tobacco-men has been endorsed, and
the petition, prepared accordingly, has been
signed by every member OF the Tobacco AS
ISOLATION.
The parties who received the circular from
Messrs. Cope, Brothers e. Co., OF Liverpool
of which spoke in my'last letter, have pre-
pared as one point of their answer this state
ment as to the scarcity Of tobacco Tnat the
monthly report of the Department Of Agrl
culture for July, 1874, shows that the acre
age of this crop was less than one-half of that
of 1873, and that the report from the Depart
ment for October modifes the report fol
July land that for September) as to tobacco
| TO this extent that "the condition Of
| the tobacco crop is somewhat higher than
was foreshadowed" by previous returns,
"though still the promise is far less than two
thirds of CROP" tue average Of all the States
reporting this crop being by per cent.

tCcrespsn6ence Of the Nav York Worls.J
CzlcAao, February S.-Two very import.
ant decisions in railroad Law have just been
delivered Ia the Supreme Court of Illinois,
as follows:
!. Ldb,hty Of Railroad for Valuable
Bdoonoe.-CHrroH, traveller fef \ New
York 5ewelry dealer, had with him on the
Michigan Central road trunk which was
nearly of the common kind, though some
y hat heavier ana stouter than usual. II bad
no distinctive mark, and was checked like
Ordinary baegngc. Information a. TO IFS con.
tents WAS not given to the company. TWAS
destroyed by fire at Buchanan, Michigan.
and CarroH, claiming that it contained sam
ples to the value of 100000, brought suit to
recover aud recovered 3d., 900 ia the Circuit
Court OF this tCook) county. The company
appealed, ana the Supreme Court has re-
rcrsed the Judgment. u claimed. that the
company had 40 notice as to the valuable con-
TENS OF the trunk; that there was netting
TO show their valne; that there was cons.ruc-
tive fraud on plaintiffs part in giving such
trunk thus; that bis own negligence de-
priycd him Of any title to great considers-
ton, aud that it would require gross negli-
senee, amounting to Hlful neglect, on the
part of the company, TO make 1t liable.
Plaintiff could only be eutitled TO reasona-
ble amount as the value OF such personal
property ss an ordinary traveller would
carry with him.
III. Liability Of Sleeping. Car Companies
The decision 10 the same As that just de-
livered at Buffalo en- re G. w. Rees us. Pull
man Pslsce-CAr Company, but proceeds on
dlf7erenS line Of argument. Staith, cat
e-deaer, proceeding on Pullman car from
Chicago to st. Louis, claimed to have had
! stolen frem the pocket Of his vest, which he
had placed beneath his pillow on retiring,
81, $50. He sued to recover in the Cook
County Circuit Court, and Was given 1927
a. the amount that al ordinary traveller
would carry with him. The Pullman Com
paay appealed, aud the Supreme Court re-
yersed the judgment. In it's decision the
Supreme Court held that the Palace-C Car
Company fell quite short of filing the cha
rscter OF an ipn.keeper. furnishing only lodso
ing to certain class, who have already paid
| fare and purchased first-clsss tickets emitting
them 10 ride to certain place. The COM
psny not only does not receive pay nor an
| dertake 10 care for any property or goods
| whatever, but VIGOROUSLY refuses to do so.
There WAS no necessity here such as existed
la the case Of the keeper OF the common inn.
The traveller was not compelled TO accept the
additional comfort OF the palace.car. He
might have remained in the ordinary car.
There were sale and easy Iueans within his
reach lin the baggage and express cars) for
carrying money aud baggage. Hence there
vas no necessity for imposing the duty and
liability on the company, Which did NOT, fur
Their, render service made mandatory by
law, as in the case Of an ihn-kecper.

LAY afternoon IL well-dressed colored man
and Il Young white woman visited the CITY
Hall, in New York, and made known their
desire TO be married by Mayor Wickham,
but the Latter replied firmly No, sir, IL
can't be done. While l am Mayor OF This

white womap, nor q black woman TO white

piled: ~ know ul about those laws, but
YOU can rest assured that Notwithstanding
them no marriages between whites and
bucks can take place in this hall while ain
the Mayor Of the city," The colored man
looked surprised, and the girls eyes filled
with tears. They afterwards made applica-

CHARLOTTESVILLE, February Is, 1879.


CHARLOTTESVILLE, February Is, 1879.
Considerable excitement was created on
University street on Saturday evening by
the following circumstance: McKeune's eX-
press.wagon had stopped at the University,
and the driver had taken occasion to water
his horse. taking his bride of. In the mean
time, little boy about six years OF age nao
ootten in the wagon, and the horse, finding
himself free of the bit, struck for Charlottes-
VILE at a furious rate. The driver seized
him by the nose and hung to him as long as
he could, but the horse got away. The boy
screamed az the top of his voice, which
brought forth residents of University street
bv hundreds, many of whom, taking in the
situation, endeavored to stop the animal, but
il was ne use: the horse ran the faster. The
street was very muddy, and every jump OF
lbe horse splttered the mud and slush all
over him. Upon reaching midway, gentle
man on horseback rode up in front OF the
runaway and by striking him across the face
with his whip caused him to alter bis course,
and following up the advantage thus gained,
whipped him around until he stopped him.
AS IN all such cases, he made some hair
breadth escapes. The boy was literally
plastered with mud, which was about all the
injury he sustained. AS he came back up
the street he received some very severe scold-
ings from the old colored women who wit.
messed the scene, and who were praying and
shouting, which made the horse run faster.
Some of them threatened him good thrash
irg "ef he uyver got in dat WIggin uSn."
The boy is probably satisfied with his expert
eHce. Probably three or tour hundred pco-
pie witnessed the runaway.
Saturday night George W. Wheeler,
blacksmith, resident here, attempted suicide
br Swallowing an ounce Of lpudanum. By
the strenuous effort of physicians 1t was
PUMPED out of him. Saturday afternoon he

with Major Redmond. four miles south Of
Charlottesville, was killed last week bf q

There has been and Is now good deal of
sickness from colds, which has great ten
dency to pneumonia. The mortality among
