SHIPPING STATUARY.

Judge Choate in the United States District Court,
rendered a decision yesterday in the libel suit OF
James Sharkey against the Italian bark Vincenzo T..
brought to recover damages to piece of statuary
shipped board the bark at Leghorn for this city.
1t was claimed that the statue was packed in wooden
and every precauon taken for careful handling.
but that upon its arrival here it was found to be
broken. In the trial before Judge Choate q great
deal Of testimony was taken as to the manner Of
packing, handling and slowing. On q review Of the
testimony the libel dismissed. Itis held in the
opinion that the bean failed to prove that ut the
time of the shipment ut Leghorn and subsequent to
its conveyance from Carrara the figure unbroken.
The testimony of the sailors examined the trial
was that when the box passed the ships
side they heard rafting sound. which not
heard when it came aboard. They also testified that
it slowed on top OF the cargo, close to the deck
beams the cargo being well slowed. 1t was claimed
that 1t negligence the part of the defendants
to stow the box close to the deck beams. Judge
Choate holds that this was not the case that it
not negligence unless 1t was shown that the box
insecurity slowed. Any damage resulting from the
rolling OF the vessel did not revert to the respondent
that was peril of the sea. from which they were
exempted by the terms of the bill of ladng.

NEW YORK, April 7th.-It hav-

NEW YORK, April THE World
to-day quotes a recent remark OF
General Patterson, of Philadelphia,
that nineteen-twentieths of the
whole army would be highly graf
flied il the President would dismiss
Generals Pope and Mcdowell, and
take as a warrant for so doing the
report of the Advisory Board in the
Porter case. The World says: There
is no doubt that General Patterson
accurately expresses the feeling of
the army, and when the question
comes before Congress-, as it must
come sooner or later, that body
may perhaps prefer Patterson's
suggestion to the opinion recently
delivered by the Troy Times.

Well, native born American citi-

''citizens under the naturalization

counted. Was there ever such a
tumble OF absurdities as this boast
ed new Constitution? The princi-
pal business of its defenders is at.
tempting to prove that it doesn't

SOME little amusement may be
extracted from the frantic efforts of
the newspapers which support the

impression that they are backed by
a large majorltyA of the people.
Kearney, with his usual fam nboyAnt
cheek, claims that the new organic
law will be adopted by fifty thou.
sand msjority. The Chronicle,
also, assumes the virtue of conf.
dence though 1t has it not. Upon
q dlspassionate survey of the situa-
sion we look upon the new Consti-
tuition as dead If those who know
and dread Its evil effects work, work
heartily and work till the day of
election and TO the very closing of
the polls on that day. 1t is idle to
deny that the new Constitution
has an especially heavy following
In the counties OF Kern, ,Tulare, Los
Angeles, San Bernardino and San
Diego. But these counties contain
but q very small proportion of the
vote Of California, and this aspect
of the matter is seldom regarded by
those of our own people who hazard
an estimate of the result.
The great change has taken
place in San Francisco. The
Workingmen at the start
confidently relied upon carrying
the metropolis by rousing major
ity. They really do not look for
this now. The genuine terror as to
the effects Of the new Constitution
upon the city and the State which
10 shown by all business men has
had its effect in setting people who
desire better and quieter times to
thinking. Republicans aud Demo-
Gratis who think that politics should
remain in the hands of the respon-
sible and respectable national par
ties, unless they are downright
mad, will vote in large numbers
for the old Constitution. c For them
not to do so would show q degree
Of madness unprecedented in our
history. They haye In this election
Of the 7th of May an opportunity
Of playing the st. George to the
Kearney Dragon, and il they fail
to avail themselves of 1t they will
show rare lack of political wis.,
dom. We learn, on what we deem
good authority, that, in addition to
the revolution in San Francisco,
Sacramento, and most Of the min
ing counties, together with Stanls.
laus, Merced, .Mariposa, San Luis
Obispo, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara
and Ventura may be relied upon
for majorities against the instru.
ment. The great fight will un.
doubtedly be in San Francisco.
There it will be literally battle of
the giants, and 1t remains to be
seen whether, from that center of
capital and energy, a pronuncia.
miento is to go forth which will par
alyze the State and voluntarily in
augurate an era of unprecedented
hard times. But the doubter may
be at rest. San Francisco will give
a handsome majority against the
new Constitution. With proper
energy we can also give splendid
account of Los Angeles county.
