cus-ed
Mr.. Porter Of Wisconsin advocated the plan
OF driving piles ON the Derne b nix OF the nal.
ana laying thereon rail. by this system
only ten per cent. Of the power was lost, aud Uy
The cable system twenty i've per cent. was lost.
Mr.. Porter said all they wanted was the right to
lay their rail-, IA proposed, through the Erie
canal interfering with no other systems what
ever and putting no one to any expense save
themselves II they couli get permission to do
tni-. they would guarantee to carry gram from
Chicago To New York for eight cents per bushel.
Inis would at once place the canal ahead Of all
competition In the carrying trade.
Mir. r. W. Bss-ll Of Lockport urged the Con
vention To Recommend To the Legislature petit
ton TO give the company tue privilege desired,
and he made a motion To that effect.
The Belgian system Of towing boats had its
representative in MIR. Emerson Foote. OF New

Mr.. Ciark, Of New York, urged that the Bel

Legislature To test its cOntriyance on the canal,
and hence tue resolutions were entirely unneccs-
shry. Tue tram boat system could come Tue

asked was To allow the new stevens on invocation

plication was eventually made by Mr..
WILKINSON, who considered himself ag-
grieved by the Globes comments, to punish
its editor for contempt. In tho opinions
of the Court now lying before us, Chief
Justice HARRISON expresses himself in
favor of making the rule against Mr..
BRowN absolute on the ground that his
article was calculated to prejudice the
trial of Mr.. WILKINsoN's case, and that 1t
also affected the dignity of the Court
Itself, as scandaliziug the Court.
But happily for Justice and the liberty
OF the press, the only other Judge, Mr..
Justice MORRISON, who sat on the hearing,
differed Numerically from the Chief JUS
tice and rendered an opinion in favor Of
Mr.. BRowN, strong in its logic and COM
mon sense. We quote the language of
Judge MORRISON;
at may be that the references to Mr.. WIZ
KINsON amount to "A libel on him. but that Is not
tue question now before us. In my opinion, to
hold that the remarks amount to a constructive
contempt, calling for the extr ordinary inter
terence of the Court, nd the infection OF pun
ishnent, would Ue circumscriUing the liberty OF
the press to an extent am not prepared TO ac-
qutesce IN"
He then goes on to consider whether the
applicant, failing to sustain his rule for a
constructive contempt affecting himself,
is entitled to ask the Court, at his instance,
to punish for "A direct contempt OF the
Court itself:
~ feel, in the interest Of the administration
OF justice, that sucn an application should be
met with decided refusal. 10 assent TO 1t
would be opening the door to a species Of apull-
cations hitherto unknown one pregnant with
iniscbievous suits. ana winch would tie resort
ed to not with the object Of UNFOLDING the dig
NIFTY OF the Court, but for serving priv tie po-
ntical ends or Otner purposes quite foreign to
suon an OBJECT. The Court, In my opinion, 10
not Obliged to take notice of libellous or con-
lemptuOus publications directed against tue
Court itself"
The practical result OF the division Of
opinion was the denial of the application
against Mr.. Blown, who. from its incep-
ton, has shown great fearlessncss in the
matter, taking occasion, even when de-
Tending himself in IA long speech before
the Court, to rate Mr.. Justice WILSON
most soundly.

A Law TO be Repealed-A Suit to be
Resisted.

In view OF the strong evidence already
brought forward that persons were will
fully permitted to burn up in the cars at
the Ashtabula bridge, because the reoov-
cry In case Of death was limited by statute
to five thousand dollars. whereas for an
injury not causing death a much larger
sum might be recovered, 1t will be well for
the Legislatures Of the several States in
which such IA law exists to consider the
expediency of its repeal; or rather, of
such an alteration of the law as shall give
to the legal representatives OF a person
killed In this manner the right to recover
the full pecunlary value of his life.
We are not inclined TO encourage the
practice-quite too common in our opin-
ion-on the part of insurance companies
to defend claims for losses; but If the
Lake Shore Railroad Company under
takes to recover for the loss OF cars at the
Ashtabula bridge, we hope the case will
be litigated in such way as TO bring out
all the facts Let them be laid before the
public. naked and unvarnished. At pres
ent, the appearances are very much
against the company. Let them be dis
peised or confirmed by judicial inquiry.
We have but little confidence in Coro-
nor's inquest. 1t is generally, in all such
cases, but another name for q whitewash
brush.
