Especial telegram to the Dlspatch.l
BARBoURsvIILE, CABELL COUNTY, w. VA,
April 30.-As the weStward-bound CheSa-
ucake and Ohio railroad cxpress-train this
evening ran on the trcStlc short distance
east Of Milton station man was seen sit
ting on the track. The engineer did all in
his power to prevent striking him, but was
unable to entirely stop his train, though ne
succeeded in greatly reducing spccd-not
enough, though, to prevent knocking the
man off the trcstlc, fall OF some
twenty or thirty feet, SCATTERING his
right arm above the elbow, and bruisns
him considerably about the head and face.
His physician thinks there is no serious in
ternal injury and he will recover. He
proved to be one Dirton, formerly OF this
place; to which lie was brought by the otfl-
GERS of the train, who did all in their power
for the wounded man. Dirton is supposed
to have been intoxicated.

pany Us. Baker was disposed OF. In this
case the company sought to avoid the policy
on the ground that certain answers made
by the insured ut the date Of the policy
were untrue. The Court found no EVIL.
dence that the policy contained any agree.
ment that the statement OF the applications
should be express warrantees, or that they
should have any effect whatever, or that the
application itself was ever presented to the
insurance company, or that the policy was
based upon the application. TWAS further
found that the agent undertook to interpret
the answers made, and as so interpreted
wrote them in the affirmative. In this form
II is held to be n statement prepared by the
company, for which it alone is responsible,
and that it cannot be set up to defeat the
policy.
McCready Us. State OF Virginia. In this
case it is decided the State OF Virginia can
prohibit citizens OF other States from plant
ing oysters in the beds OF tide-water within
her Jurisdiction while permitting her own
people to do so. This decides six other
cases. The decision gives to States the con-
troll over the fisheries within their borders.

The FRA UDS ADMITTED.

1t is an impressive fact that every one
of the learned advocates who addressed
the Electoral Commission, on the Repub-
lican side of theFlorida case, substantially
admitted the Democratic allegation that
the Hayes electors were declared to be
appointed through fraudulent and false
counting of the votes cast by the people.
Not one of these gentlemen has stood up
in his place and affirmed that the action
of the State Board of Canvassers was fair,
honest, and justified by the facts. The
only answer which these Republican ad-
vocates undertake to set up is that the
thing was done in accordance with forms
oflaw, and that it must stand for that
reason. The State being cheated out OF
its electoral vote through forms of law,
and the people of the United States be-
ing cheated out of the Presidential elec-
ton through forms of law, the cheat
must stand, and we must submit to the
Inauguration of President elected by
fraud only. Such is the argument of
Messrs. Evarts, Stoughton and Matthews;
and it is the best and the only argument
which the Republican party has to offer

THE DUTY Oh DEM0CRA rs.

Democrats, because they have been de.
ceived in the Electoral Commission,
should not hesitate an instant in their
obedience to its verdict, however one ST.
ded and wicked it may be. Let US abide
our bond in good faith and preserve our
own integrity, regardless Of the short
comings of our opponents. We have
been cheated it is true, but nevertheless,
the formation of Court to settle the
Presidential question was wise and pat
riotic thing to do. Our mistake was in
taking it for granted that the formation
of Court carried with it the necessity
of hearing evidence. The lesson is worth
learning, Notwithstanding the extrava-
CANT price we are compelled to pay for it.
Next comes Louisiana, but with its eyes
blinded by refusing to receive testimony,
the verdict of the Commission is foreor-
dained.-0hio Liberal, 14th.
