THE GOLDEN GROVE CASE.
The Court Delivered its Decision
This MerntnK--A Verdict In favor
OF The Libellanls.

This morning at the opening Of the
District Court, the Bench announced
itself as being ready to deliver its de-
cision in the Golden Grove" case.-
The facts il this case are well known.
They are these:
About one o'clock in the morning of
July 9th an English steamer Golden
Grove" owned by Trumbull & Co., of
England, collided with a brig named
"Kremlin" of Boston about thirty miles
off the coast of Nantucket. The "Krem-
lin" from the effects of the collision
went down and the wife Of the Captain
and seaman were drowned.
Instead of stopping and endsavoring
by the best of their ability to compen-
safe for the damage done, the officers
of the steamer continued the vessels
course. The owners of the kremiin
brought suit to recover damages to the
amount of $40, 900. 1t being known the
British vessel would make for the Della
ware Breakwattr the United States
authorities OF this district were directed
to apprehend her which was done by
Marshal McMullen almost Immediately
after her arrival al the RrAakwatsr.
III" case vas introduced at the De
cember term of Court. Levi Z. Bird,
Esq, of this city with Coudart Bros. of
New York, appeared for the respondent
and Edward q. Bradford, Jr., with Mr..
Dodge, Esq, Of Boston, appeared for
libellants.
There was considerable testimony
presented, the court at the close reserv-
ing its decision.
This morning the decision was given
and occupied the space Of over an hour
in its delivery. In summing up the
court stated as the reason why the
"Golden Grove" should be held re-
sponsiile was:
LIST, Because she had no proper or
sufficient lookout.
Ind, Because the officers and men in
charge of the steamer were careless and
grossly ignorant of the meaning Of sig
mails.
3rd, Because when it was apparent
| 10 ordinary lntelllSencs tEat the vessels
were moving toward each no steps were
taken to reverse the motion Of the
steamer until they were within 300 feet
of each other when they had ample
time to do so.
The following decree was then made
by the Court.
That the owners fthe steamer should
pay for the value of tho brig $4,000 ,
chronometer, $3.50; clothes of Charles
Smith, So captains personal property,
$255.l9 ; charts, 1921. ; clothing OF
the captains wife $500; clothing of the
mate sos; and clothing of able
seamen $76; second mate Sill; Smith )
goods, $751; cooks watches, &c, 1913;
lost by Francis SIS ; cargo, original cost
of sugar, &C., $50, 43l.2l. Total $4',-
424 IS.
There was also awarded the amount
per carriage of cargo up to the time of
the accident. The court then adjourn

Having a Good T. me.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia

A correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin" says:
1t is amusing to see the actions Of
some of the Southern Congressman, es-
pecially the new members, since their
advent to Washington. Some Of them
came here looking rather seedy. Mon
ey had been scarce with them, and as
they had been long time from the
public crib they looked as ii good
square meal was thing they had not
seen for some time. This has all chan
ged, and happier set Of mortals are
not to be seen anywhere. For the con
venience of members kind Of bank is
established just across the corridor from
the hall of the House, and all a member
has to do is to sign kind of an order
and get all he wants to the amount of
81, 600. 1t was new sensation, and
they have taken advantage of it. The
clothing dealers and hack drivers are
benefited, while the hotel bar and sa.
looms are coming money. What a
change from having to sit around saloons
and wait to be asked to take drink =!
Now, the true Southerner walks in with
the air Of a prince, looks around the
room, and Boys, take something is
said with such selfsatisfied and pa
tronizing air that it is impossible to re-
slst. You can rest assured that they
will never willingly endeavor to break
up the Union again-not as long, at
least, ~ they Lay. il so nice here.

Letter, from Christiana.
CHRISTIAN, DEL, May 9th, '7S

SHhisTlANA, LEA, HA"y o'Ai ~
MKssRs. EDIroRs:--In contemplation
of the various means by which we AS
a people are sustained, we are led to
consider and to feel interested, although
we may not be directly connected with
the means yet indirectly. For instance
there is the fruit crop, which, though
We may not De fruit grower, yet We
are all more or less interested. The
farmer which grows the grain and the
miller which grinds it, the merchant
which dispenses to us the groceries,
&C., in his line of business with the
many other means by which We live,
yet it is said by some that fears are en-
tertained that the fruit crops are injur-
ed by the late frost, but we hope not
and therefore trust in God as to the re-
suit.
The first quarterly meeting of Chris
tiana circuit was held last Sunday at
Salem. Lovefeast was held in the
morning followed by preaching. Rev.
4. Davis, the pastor gave us very
earnest and interesting sermon. In the
afternoon, Rev. DR.. Matlack, our ell
der, preached; he also delivered ser
mon at Christiana in the evening. On
next Thursday evening We are antiei-
pating a good time at the NJ. Il. church
and We hope there will be large at
tendance 20 hear Rev. Il. Davis ana
family in concert given by them for
the benefit OF the parsonage in which
they live.

what's the Matter with Sunset.

The friends of Sunset Cox are getting
troubled about him. Here have two
months of the session almost gone, and
he hasn't said or done witty thing.
He that was always full Of life and jol
ity has suddenly turned as solemn and
serious as if he expected soon to be hung.
Why the sad change no one can tell.
He has hardly smiled, and when he does
rise to address the chair, it is with so
funeral an aspect that even Fernando
Wood has to wipe his eye glasses and
look again. 1t can't be that he is jeal-
GUS of Hoar, Of Michigan, because the
change was noticed before that gentle
man took his position as humorist.
His case is exciting alarm among his
friends, and caucus is suggested to
take his case into consideration.

Thurman and sherman.

Dispatches from several points in
Ohio indicate the possibility that Sena-
tor Thurman and Secretary Sherman
may after all consent to be the candi-
dates of their respective parties for Gov
ernor of Ohio, having in view the pres
idential succession. General Rice, who
has himself been prominent candidate
for the democratic nomination, is quo
ted as having stated that the belief has
now become fixed among the democrats
in Washington that Secretary Sherman
will enter into the race this fall, and
that under these circumstances it is be-
lieved that it will become necessary for
the other democratic candidates to with =
draw and call upon Senator Thurman
to fill the breach.
