TIE FIRST STEAMBOAT ON THE
HUDsOk.

The steamboat itself Is romance OF
the Hudson. It's birth was on its waters
where the rude conceptions OF Evans and
Fitch on the Schuylkili and Delaware
were perfected by Fulton and bis success

advent, growth, aud achievements! Liv.
ing men remember when the Idea OF
steam navigation was Tidiculed. They
remember, too, that when the Clermont
went from New York to Albany without
the use Of sails, against wind and tide, 10
lhirty-two hours, rdicule was changed
into amazement. That voyage did more.
II spread terror over the surface OF the
river, and created wide alarm along It's
borders. The steamboat was an awful

and the villagers. IL .caIue upon them

! In considering this case, il is to be observed
that the lease from Hikoni to the several defend

lease the land to three persons, Hoopiopio, Ka-
elemakule, and Upapa. They are. or we're to be,
a committee or trustees for forty persons not
mentioned by nanIe. BY the bill OF Costs there
appear to have been forty services. Some Of the
people served were not only not on the land, but
not on the Island of Kauai aud we are not I'D
vlsed on what principle any were served who
were not mentioned IN the lease. The forty are
not mentioned by name, and. for aught that is
made to appear to The Court, did not make
themselves prvy in any manner to the contract,
which merely recites that the three persons
mentioned in it as parties Of the second part, are
a committee for forty persons.
The parties who did not hold themselves out
parties to the transaction should not have
to accumulate against them and the three real
respondents should not have costs accumulated
against them capriciousy, even if they had all
made themselves parties to the contract with
lIikon aud even If in pursuance Of that contract,
had entered upon the land 1T would have been un-
necessary TO have served them all and it would
have been unjust to have caused them such an
unnecessary EXPENSE The ll05tb section Of the
Civil Code, moreover provides that in cases of
this nature. "aPrviCe Of process upon one Of several
defendants at law shall be legal service upon all
for the purposes Of appearance in court, and judg
ment may be entered against all such co-defend.
ants thereon" So that il the plaintiff proceeded
upon the idea that the lease was unauthorized
and she wanted to have it so declared, she had
but three services to make aud, by the authority
OF the aforesaid statute, was not under the ne
cessity Of making more than one service.
But if the plaintiff disregar1ed the lease and
concluded to proceed against those in actual
possession, she has proved possession only as
against six and by the ll29th section. it would
be sufficient 10 on those in actual possession,
and if no be in actual possession at the time,
service could be made by posting copy of the
process and notice to the party claiming adverse
ly, in some conspicuous place on the premises etc
Thus it was not necessary under any circum-
stances, to make 50 many services
We therefore adjudge, that the defendants be
charged with only three services and copies.

1t is clear that law undertaking TO punish an
offence committed before the existence Of such q

FRIAR'S POINT, Jan. 16. 1876.
A matter of some interest occurred here
day or two since. Four outlaws were taken
out of Jail by an armed mob and shot. The
facts are substantially as follows:
Jim Stokes, who is anotoriOusly bad man
and has frequently been indicted, after the
riot here, in October, became an outlaw.
Three other negroes were associated with
him. They burned Col. Stovall's steam gin
mill and stable about the middle OF October,
destroying a large amount of cotton and
corn, and burning up fourteen mules. They
then knocked a peddler in the head and rob-
bed him Of six or eight hundred dollars
leaving him for dead. | think the peddler
will get we'll They then robbed several
negroes of small sums of money from $50
down. Two of the gang were arreste d.
Stokes, who was the leader, escaped with
one comrade, About six weeks since they
fired Friar's Point, and burned five or six
business houses. A little more than week
since Stokes and his comrade burned the
gin house and corn crib on MIR. Halls plan
tation in Oak Ridge, all the negroes on the
place. of course, rushed to the fire, when
Stokes broke into negro mans cabin and
ey. As his track was seen and well known
a reward was offered for his arrest, and, in a
day or two, he and his comrade We're ar
rested and put in Jail. As Stokes had dep
related alike on white and black; and the
cotton in Halls gin belonged TO a negro
there was great evaporation against the
gang by both white and black, and on
Thursday night an armed band of disguised
men came to the Jail, forced the sheriff
to give up the keys, and took these four ne
qroes out and shot them.
Every one, white and black, are rejoiced
that they are out of the way. The thought
full amongst us regret the way III which ii
was done, and are opposed to mob law in
any way; still these men have no sympathy
for Stokes and his gang of incendiaries
robbers and murderers-they deserved
death and got it. The people will live in
security and will put to death any despera-
does and villains who organize to destroy
the country and viii not wait for the slow
process of law to do so. Stokes and his
gang have destroyed in this county within
the last three months 100000 worth OF
property and would have destroyed it all ii
let alone. j. /. r.
