The question of exactly how far a
furnished by a tffhad5osman to wife
from whom he is separated, was pre-,
sented in the suit Of Bartlett, Berry,
Reed & Co., against Edmund Waring,
which was tried before Judge ], f,
DAILY and q jury in Part l of the Com,
mon Pleas, yesterday. The action
was brought to recover for twodresses
and some kid gloves, besides a loan
of money, furnished by the plaintiffs
to Warnings wife in June and August,
1876. By way of defense, Waring
urged that he had been separated
from his wife, and that he had made
the latter a sufficient allowance to
provide for her necessities. Judge
DAILY, in his charge, told the jury that
when a tradesman supplies married
woman with goods, with the expecta'
ton of having her husband pay the
bills, he takes the chance Of three
things-frst, it turning out that
these goods are not necessary for hel
or her condition in life; or that her
husband has supplied her with all
the money that is necessary; or that
although the goods are suitable for
her condition in life, she has already
supplied herself elsewhere with what
is necessary. As to the borrowed
money, it was a question, he thought
not free from difficulty either by the
law of this State or by the law Of
England, A late case in England
goes a great length in relieving the
husband from liability. The case
was one where the husband, living in
Calcutta, had sent his wife to Eng
land, giving her letters Of credit up
on clearinghouse in the latter
place. After arriving there she found
the bank had failed, Subsequently
in order to return to her husband
and being without means, she went
to the plaintiff in that case, and Dor
rowod the money to enable her to dc
so. Even in that case it was held
the husband was not responsible
That was a case so extraordinary in
its nature that he Judge Daly) would
hardly feel bound to follow it to that
extent. He considered ii ought to bc
left to the jury to say whether wO'
man, being left without necessary
articles by her husband, has not the
right to borrow money to procure
them The jury brought in u YER
dict for the defendant.

The Ohio and West Virginia Rail-
way Company, which purchased the
railroad, right of way, ETC., of the
late Columbus aud Gallipolis Com
pany, had II meeting of the stock
holders at Columbus last Friday. 1t
is reported that this company is rap
idly getting its affairs into such a
shape that we may expect it to COM
mrnce visible operations carly in the
spring, if not before. 1t owns a
great many miles of completed road
bed, and the amount of work rcquir-
cd to give US an outlet from Pomeroy
is not so great as is generally sup
posed. There will have to be some
money raised to aid the Company,
without doubt, but none will be re-
quired to be paid until Pomeroy gets
railroad communication with the
outside world, There will be no risk
to run-no railroad, no pay. But
the road which this company propo-
SEES to build is the one which, above
all others, Pomeroy should have. It's
connections will be the most extern
sive, aud it opens up the vastest pos
sibilities for business. 1t will con-
meet us with Marietta and Cincinna-
ii, the Springfield, Jackson and Pom
eroy when that is completed, with
the Gallipolis and Columbus, the
Hooking Valley, and with several
very promising railroad projects
which will very likely bccarried out,
but are in a considerable measure de-
pendent upon the completion of this,

pie desire a railroad, they should pre-

To this project; and if they do their

Tic DUTY of the LegisIaturc.

The duties of the Legislature this
winter are being vigorously discuss
ed BY newspapers and newspaper
correspondents, Some think we
ought to have new code, others
think an amendment to the constitu'
ton abolishing the County Court
ought to be submitted to the people
TO be voted on, and about all who
have written on the subject say that
our laws ARE in u crude state and
seem to think they need some sort Of
revision. 1t is an old saying that
Wtoo many doctors kill the patient
and we are afraid this State just now
has too many political doctors, and
we further suspect that political as.
pirations are at the bottom OF most
Of this out cry about our crude laws
and inefficient judiciary system 10
test the matter we dare any one TO
point to u State that has a better
code than ours and prove it, we also
dare any one to point to any legal
wrong for which our laws do not at
ford an ample remedy. The columns
of the Ne,rS are open for a reply,
Now, gentlemen, "putup or shut up"
The truth about the matter is, that
the best thing the Legislature can
do this winter is to meet, pass the
necessary appropriations to pay the
expenses of the State government for
the next two years, and stringest
usury law, and then for them to adj
iourn sine die. All this can be ac-
complished in ten days, and the Leg,
islator who will accomplish this will
receive the everlasting gratitude OF
every sensible citizen of the State
1t is not more legislation We want,
but less. The laws are all right, let
them alone, quit tinkering with
them.-NewS.

What the Press Say.
Huntington Advertiser. |

The Point Pleasant Register of last
week has some very sensible sugges
tions about the necessity for change
in the laws Of our State concerning
the publication of notices of sales Of
property, ETC., which we copy below
and fully endorse. In addition to
what is said, in the article referred
to, We note that the publication Of
these notices in the newspapers does
not involve unnecessary expense but
is rather the most judicious possible
expenditure. If the publication on.
ly brings one additional bidder to the
sale it is more than probable that his
bid alone will cover the cost, and il
is very clear that if 1t brings two or
n dozen bidders, which is probable,
the cost will be many times repaid
by the Increased price which the
property is thus made to bring.
We heartily agree with the Regis.
ter in recommending that our Legis.
latorS act in the matter of requiring
by law that all sales Of property, BY
authority Of courts and by trustees,
shall be advertised in the newspa.
pcrs Of the county in which the land
is, or the sale is made, If there be one,
and IL there be none published, then
in some paper having general circu.
lation therein.

make resumption a success is to dis
courage the application for gold, and
stay the greed of gamblers. Can it
bo done? If resumption fails, then
the people must suffer. But one good
result will follow: The Republican
party dies. If resumption succeeds,
then the Republican party may live
