Judge Billings descended from the
shades Of New Ravens famous elms
upon us yesterday, and opened his
court to hear motions and make rulings
upon bonds and other interlocutory pro-
ceedings. Nothing decisive was done.
but notices given of rules and other
proceedings. which will come up for

The shippers of goods as we'll as the
railroad company are now trying to find
out how they shall be paid for the
losses they suffered by the mob violence
mt Pittsburg. The railroad claims that
it is not responsible to the shippers, on
the ground of Uis major or superior
force, which exempts the common car
rier from responsibility. The company
insist that the shippers must look to the
State or country, which owed both alike
protection but it consents to accept all
bills OF lading and invoices and use
them in making out claim against
Allegheny county, which claims il
agrees to urge before presenting Its
own case. In other words the railroad
becomes the attorney Of the shippers.
The total loss incurred Is estimated
at between two and three millions Of
dollars. 1t seems to be generally adj
mitted that the county is responsible
finally for the whole loss, and people
are calmly making calculation of what
the tax shall be on the $3.50, 900 00C
worth OF taxable property in the county
to satisfy this immense obligation.
The lesson is a very salutary one te
the mob who thought they were only
wreaking their hatred and revenge on
an odious corporation. The loss will
not fall upon the railroad alone, but also
upon every man in the county, who has
TO rent q house or who buys his daily
food and clothing there. A great many
innocent people, who own real and per
sonaf property, will be involved; but
in the end the penalty OF that day .
work will fall on all, and, as Is general
ly the case, on the men who were en-
gagged in it most heavily.

now enforcing the bonds against the
people. Does it not look like mockery
to tell that people that their wealth is
in 10 degree diminished thereby; that
the transfer of the property OF the peo-
pie OF Illinois to those Of Massachusetts
is mere question Of distribution not at
all affecting the wealth Of the former
State Are they expected to be soothed
with this subtlety Of the bondholder !?
Will not their common sense reply that
the wealth of a State is only the COM
bined wealth of its people, and when
these are impoverished the State neces-
sarilv shares their fate ? We noticed
the other day that a county in Kansas,
with a debt Of 81, 200, 900, had its entire
property assessed at 100000. and we
concluded that that county was bank
rupt. nor are we brought by the in
genious argument Of the Sun to the be-
lief that the county is just as rich as il
it owed not dollar.
The universal depression Of trade, the
suffering all around us, driving many OF
the laboring class to instruction and
riot, tell us too plainly that the country
is not as rich to-day-as capable OF sup
porting in comfort its population as 1t
was in 1860. 1t is useless to attempt by
any jugglery of words to conceal the
fact. 1t is foolish to refer it to SO made

rency-a difference Of five per cent be-
