"A letter from Annapolis advises the
public that new revised and perfected
Code of the Maryland laws is now being
prepared, and, no doubt, its publication
will be duly authorized by the existing
Legislature. The authors of this code are
Lewis Mayer, Louis c. Fischer and Z. J.
d. Cross, of the Baltimore Bar, who he
morialize the Legislature praying for pecu-
mary assistance from the State, and such
legislation as may legalize the Revised
Code for use in the Courts of the State.
1t has not been a great while since the
laws of the State were codi6ed by Messrs.
Scott and Mccullough, at considerable
expense, and if they are to be recodifed
from time to time, whenever some astute
lawyer thinks it necessary, the State will
find that her statutes are an overcoming
source of expense, as well as of confusion
aud uncertainty as to the statutes them
selves.

Chandler, cordially approving his letter to
the New Hampshire Republicans, and in-

fraudulent President in relation to the
alleged "bargain" by which it was stipula-

up in the House, but that Hayes should
be counted in, in return for which he was
to withdraw the troops from the South

IT i. reported that the Earl Of Duff.

IT is reported that the Earl Of Duff
erin. the present Governor General Of
Canals. will shortly be recalled to
England, and his place filled either by
the Marquis of Lorne or the Duke OF
Manchester. We sincerely hope this
statement 10 without foundation. Lord
Duferin is man of great political
sagacity. and has been on this coast IN
al official capacity. No man could be
sent out from England who knows the
situation of affairs better than he il there
are any who comprehend it a we'll.
England has use of them at home.
That the Marquis Of Lorne and the
Duke Of Manchester sre men of good
education and ripe literary culture, can
not be denied. But they have no pub
lie record. The former is best known
as the Queens son-in-law, while tie
latter has an appointment in the Royal
household. That is not the kind Of q
man for such q place. Canada is . Pc
culisrly located province aud needs .
Magistrate ct its head who has some
genuine elements of statesmanship,
Lord Duffsrin possesses this qualifcs-
ton and it would be an act Of folly for
Disrgli to remove him.

The great financial decline brought .
panic among the ship-owners, as we'll
as railroad spectators and stock
gamblers. The failure Of Bendixen,
Of Humboldt Bay, was prominent
feature of the decline. He brought all
his large timbcrs from Puget Sound,
paying freight to Humboldt Bay, in
stead Of coming right to the fountain
head at once. The Hueneme, Richard
Holyoke and Mary Z. Foster. were the
only vessels built on Puget Sound dur
ing the year. The North Bend aud C.
II. Merchant were built at Coos Bay,
Oregon. Tho best judges express the
belief that vessels under one hundred
tons can be built as cheap at San Fran
cisco a. anywhere; but for oil vessels
over that size, it pays to build them on
Puget Sound. Railroading cannot he
profitable unless ship and car can be
brought together; nor can shipbuilding
be made profitable unless the sawmili
and tho shipyard arc side by side. This
lesson is one that stares men ia the face
but they often defer leaving it till their
knowledge Of its value becomes expen-
sive.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DE.
CISION.

About two years ago. a young man
named Frank Cogswell. who had been
deaf for some years. was run over by a
train upon the Oregon and California
railroad. His father sued the Com pany
in the Circuit Court at Portland aud was
defeated. the Court, granting a nonsuit
upon the motion Of the defendant that
the evidence was not sufficient to sns.
tain verdict. Not satisfied with the
decision. the father appealed the case
to the Supreme Court of the State of
Oregon, aud has again been beaten.
Justice Boise, in delivering the opinion
Of the Court, affirmed the decision of
the Court below upon the following
findings:
l. Where tho evidence produced bv
the plaintiff in o case is not sufficient to
sustain verdict il is proper for the
court to order nonsuit, on motion Of
the defendant,
.. The manager of railroad train
running on the track seeing . person
walking along the track. may REASON
ably suppose that he will get out of
way Of the train on sounding the alarm.
3. Managers Of train are not bound
to apply the breaks in time to stop the
train before it would reach man seen
walking on the track apparently in pos
session Of his ordinary faculties.
1t is gross negligence for one who
Is deaf to walk along the track Of a
railroad where trains are liable to pass.
This sets at rest the vexed question
- to whether the engineer should en-
tirely stop train when seeing person
walking the track, after having sound
ed whistles, or given other alarms to
warn such pcrs,n Of approaching dan.
ger. Much as We may regret the &C.
currence Of such acci .ents. We cannot
be otherwise than astonished At their
frequency. We do not appreheud tha,
the Company above alluded TO will
have many more such suits to defend
tor some time to come.
