Im,,OrtaDt Railway Decision.

On the sixteenth day of August, 1870,
Henry Peck, desiring in company with
his wife and daughter to visit Cape Ann,
Mass, purchased at the office of the Dala-
ware, Lackuwanna and Western railroad,
at Norwich, three tickets for Albany via
Utica, receiving the tickets of the Central
and Hudson River railroad company ut
Albany, for which he paid the usual fare.
Mr., Peck started to board the train which
stood in the depot, but was told that he
would have to find seats i'll the forward
cars, inasmuch rs those in the rear were
already filled Acting on the informa-
ton, he went forward with his family,
and finding no unoccupied seats in the
coaches, went into q drawing-room car
and took possession of three chairs.
By-and-bye the conductor of the train
.ppeared. took their tickets and passed
on. Soon after the special conductor of
the palace car came in, and demanded
seventy-fve cents extra for each chair rs
palace car fare. Peck refused to pay it,
claiming that he had paid full fare to
Albany At the next stopping place
Peck, still refusing the demand, was
elected from the train, his wife and
daughter following voluntarily. Peck
brought suit against the corporation in
the Chemung county courts to recover
damages. In two courts the juries rem
dered verdict in his favor. The rail
road company carried the case to the
court of appeals, and the trial resulted in
verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff.

Peace or War.

Whether there shall be peace or war
in Europe still depends on the attitude
of England. 1t was in her power to
avert the Crimean wal, and it likewise
rests with her to settle peaceably the
pending conflict. If her government,
says the 7ribunc, allows the Turks to
entertain any hope that the army and
navy of England will uphold them
against Russia the Porte will undoubt-
edly reject the proposed reforms, and
plunge the country into war. The Brit
ish policy is still in doubt. Lord Sails
bury has advised the sultan to accept the
terms proposed by the conference, but n
semi-otficiul journal in London declares
that his counsel must not be treated as
M ultimatum. Almost identical steps
marked the approach to the Crimean
war. Lord Stafford formally advised the
Porte to accept note which would have
satisfied Russia, but he allowed the
Porte to discover that it might safely
adopt different course. Accordingly
it did so, and was upheld by both France
and England. The contemplated sailing
of the British fleet from Besika bay and
the approaching departure of Sir Henry
Elliot afford promise that England is re-
solved to convince the Turks this time Of
Lord Salisbury's sincerity. Had Eng
lands conduct been as consistent rs that
of France, there could be no doubt as to
| her intentions.
