AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Charter Rights Not Affected by s"OSs"

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-The business Pc

Effect of rebel recognition, ~ helth vs..
Clark. Error to the Supreme Court OF ZEN
nessee Keith offered In payment OF county
taxes what is known IS the new Issue OF the
Bank Of Tennessee, which was the Issue 81
bills made after secession, claiming his light
to have them received by the charter OF the
bank granted In 1885, The original Issue was
so receivable, and the issue after secession
was thus q legal tender for taxes by recogni-
ton of the rebel State government and up TO
the adoption of the new constitution in IBID
The State court justified the collector In re-
fusng the tender on the ground that TINS
issue could not be regarded as a legal-teD.diter
for taxes without recognition OF the validity
Of the action Of the rebel State after seces-
sion, holding that the loyal State had right
to repudiate the action and contracts OF the
rebel State. 1t Is here argued that rs the only
recognition Of the rebel State goVernlnent OF
it's issue after secession was that 1t did no not
repeal the section Of the charter making bills
of the bank o. lega-tender for taxes, that sec
tiOn was no more affected by it than any
other OF the charters or any other unrepealed
statutes of the State; that the original char
ter is still legally existing, ,notwithstanding
the clause Of the new constitution and that
it cannot be repealed without inparing the
contract created by its enactment.

LONDON, Nov 13.-The assent Of the Porte
to the appointment OF the delegates to rectity
the Greek frontier ls understood to have been
ter at Constantnople It is understood that
the line which will be adopted is that recon-
mended by the Berlin congress- which would
divide Thessaly and Eprus cast and west,
leaving the largest half OF these two provinces
in the possession Of Turkey and rellnqulshing
the remainder to Greece. It is not thought

run o geographically straight line OF divi~
that will adapt itself rs far rs possible TO the
local divisions already existing, and that
they will recommend that before the separa-
ton is made ample time and facilities shall
be afforded to the Greek inhabitants Of the

They, with others appointed litter, presented
bills for the number oF days on
which they labored, varying from eight
to seventeen or eighteen days. Their
claims were disputed, the work being fcck-
oued on the standard Of two three, four and
six days labor, when the actual amount Of
work performed was several times this
amount. Tho State declares that no man
shall receive more than $50 or more than ten
days work at s. per day. Twenty-Five or

An Important Decisson Affecting the Li'
sIllnP Interest,

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Herald says at
Middetown, in this State, q suit was brought
in 1875 against g. landlord and tenant Of q
liquor saloon for damages, caused by loss Of
a horse which was driven to death by plain
tiff's son while intoxicated by liquors sup
piled to him at the saloon. Plaintiff obtained
q verdict in his favor which was confirmed ut
the General Term and the landlord carried
the case, so far as he was concerned, to the
Court of Appeals. The action was brought
under the law Of 1873, known as civil
damage law, which makes the own
er or lesser Of the premises on
which intoxicating liquors are sold jointly
liable with the tenant for any damage done
by an intoxicated person who has been sup
piled with liquor on such premises. The
Court OF Appeals now af1irms the Judgment
of the lower courts, thus establishing the liza
bility of owners or landlords of any premises
in the State, used in the liquor business, for
damages done by any drunken person who
may procure liquor at such place: II a man
should get intoxicated in New York saloon
and commit a murder, inflct wound Or do
any injury to person or property while in that
condition, the landlord or owner Of the
premises would, under this decision, be liable
not only for damages actually sustained by
the parties interested, but for exemplary
damages as we'll.
