TIE MERCHANT MARINE OF THIS COUNTRY
The United States is fest ceasing to be mari
time nation. The Maritime Register asserts
that at the present rate OF progression. In a
very few years the flag OF this country will at
tract attention In foreign port only by reason
of it, rarity there. And yet. says the Register.
from all sides comes glowing accounts OF the
Increased prosperity OF the country; OF grana-
ries filed. manufactures working day and
night. stores and counting rooms crowded
with customers. and exports increasing. But
the shipping industry. so necessary TO the per
manent welfare Of the foreign trade Of the
country. does not share In this prosperity.
There are no congratulations for its improved
condition and no encouraging predictions for
It's future. Indeed. any reference to 1t at the
present time seems like speaking of the death
az relative at a wedding.

HrDEs.-The expectation OF hides to Europe
from this country has reached extraordinary
proportions. The largest customers are Eng
land and Germany. The trade has become per-
manent. and II ID rather increased by the en-
barrassments thrown iii the way 81 the Amert-
cnn cattle trade In Europe. The shipments d
hides In nine months amount to about one
million. This trade. like many others. Is o.
recent growth. and like others 1t Is destined to
attain to colossal proportions.

The Story ofa Fronch Baron's Cruelty I
Iiis Wife. ....

The Story ofa Fronch Baron's Cruelty to
His wife.
A correspondent Of the London
StdaIaTtJ writes: .'
Tho Paris tribunals have now before
them very painful case for conjugal
separation u meaS0 ct Moru, which
tells strongly in favor Of NJ. Naqucps
divorce campaign, and partially
against marriage Wi;ha deceased wile's
sister. The parties heIoDg TO The very
highest French. society, and possess
one Of the largest fortunes in Europe,
being no other timn the well known
Baroness Scillierc. The action for
separation is brought by tho wife on
tho ground Of cruelty and calumny.
The charges against the Baroness have
already formed the subject ofa judicial
inquiry and been declared by tho ex-
ainining Judge to be groundlcss. M.
.Lachaud, who pleaded for tho lady
yesterday, stated that She was married
to the Baron in 1867, shc being then
seventeen and her husband forty seven
years of age. The DarOn's first wife
was an elder sistor Of his present one
and died in 1861, leaving two littlo
daughters. The Baron thought he
could give his children no bcttor stop
mother than their young aunt, who had
always shown great affection both for
them and their father. She brought
no great dover with her, but was very
beautiful, and belonged to one Of tho
most noble Lorraine families. All
c)mbined, therefore, to confirm tho
hope that tho couple would be very
happy. That hopo did not last long,
for OH the wedding tour the Baron
showed hjmsclfhasty, violent and bru-
tai. During the honeymoon, one evc-
ming in Paris, tho Baron violently
threw q lamp into the fire, and hiswifo
and tho persons present were covered
with oil and broken glass. Eleven
months later his wife, having asked tho
Baron to accompany her iii making
calls, no became angry and ram a pen
into her hand, which broke In tile flesh.
That was in May 1868, and in Scptcm-
ber of tho Same year, at Ketzing, in
Alsace, he beat tho Baroness about the
back and shoulders wi the butt end

5. That the Legislature intended in
the charter that the railroad should
receive one hundred dollars per ca,
load for each 100 miles of transporta-
ton.
6. That GGGS cubic feet at Is cents
per foot per 100 miles makes 100 dol
lars, and 1000 pounds at 80 cents per
100 pounds per 100 miles makes 100
dollars.
z. Therefore the Legislature intend
cd that all articles eXhausting the ca
pacity Of GGGS cubic feet without pro-
duciny 100 dollars should be called
articles measurement, and all arti-
clcs making up 10000 without
consuming the G663 feet should be
deemed heavy articles.
s. AS GGGS cubic feet at so ]bs. to
the foot makes 10000 pounds, there.
fore The Legislature intended that &c
pounds should be the dividing line
that all articles weighing lhorc than sc
pounds to tho foot should be classcd
a. heavy, and all articles " o'ghing les
than 30 pounds to the foot should he
classcd as articles of measurement.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-09-27
7. The Legislature didn't.

s. The space actually occupied by
cotton in the said car is 1915 cubic
feet which is twenty pounds TO the
cubic foot. This, therefore, is the
dividing line, if the Legislature had
such an idea in establishing one.
Therefore the magic words "thirty
pounds to the cubic foot" vanish.
Dry goods in boxes and cotton goods
i'll bales weigh about twenty pounds to
the cubic foot, and will consume full
ly 1000 cubic feet.
9. a car can easily be made which
will carry 10000 pounds Of cotton if
it were necessary to put that much
cotton on a car to bring it within the
class ofheavy articles, achich 1t as not.
and now the Company often transports
forty or fifty bales OH one fiat car,
| which will make $ll3 TO the car for
100 miles. If this question is TO be de-
cidcd by the capacity Of car, then u
flat with asbestos cloth TO protect
against sparks certainly should dctcr-
mine il rather than car which the
Company selects, and which should
have been built to carry cotton.
10. The Railroad has already nearly
ruined some sections of the country
through which it passes, by lis cSac-
tons and determinations, and is rcc!1-
less ofthc interests Of the country. II
any money has been made ii has been
for the benefit Of Il ''ring." The pow
cr claimed in regard to cotton will
surely strike dangerously at the inter
csts OF this cotton-producing country.
II. The income will be increased
for the road at this tinlc does not aver
age fifty cents per 100 pounds per 10C
miles on cotton, since local frciyhts arc
SO high that very few bales are shipped
TO local points, but are sent as hrougl
freight. Besides, thousands Of bales
arc hauled in wagons to other rail
roads in consequence of the cN-
ccssivc charges by this Road.

TIE FREIGHT ON COTTON.

Tho Railroads Wow Of tho Matter.
The Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad assumes as grounds for
Judicial Decision in their favor
against the Merchants Of Winnsboro:-
1. That the Legislature gave mlim-
tied power to the railroad managers to
call any article heavy or al article of
measurement, as tho interest Of the
railroad might dictate.
2. Iron may be light and feathers
heavy. u bag Of rags can't be meas
urcd and Il box of hardware or bacon
may be. Lumber is measured when
sold. SO it is manifest that railroad
officials only can judge what is heavy
and what is light freight.

The Merchants Wow of tho Matter,
! Facts which the Merchants expect
will force Favorable Decision of the
Courts, OF in failure thereof, will OBJ
tain for them Redress from the Lceis-

i. The Legislature intended to re-
strain the railroads and protect the
people from eXactions, by the clause
prescribing rates, and would not there
fore have allowed the railroad to de-
eide all disputed points.
2. When the charter was first grant
ed the articles usually transported
were hardware, dry goods, groceries
and agricultural products, which were
understood to be "hcavy articles )"
and hats, bonncts, artificial flowers.
&c. NC, which were light, weighing
about five pounds to the cubic. foot.
These last aud others of The kind were
what were meant by "articlcS ofmcas-
urcmcnt." Because an article is in u
box is no reason why it should be an
article of measurement. Whiskcy or
bacon in barrels can as well be meas
ured MS when in boxes. Lumber,
though heavy article, for convcn-
icncc is loaded by The number of feet,
after the weight Of one foot is deter
mined.
3. At the time the charter was
granted the Legislature know nothing
of the amount Of freight that would
be carried by one car, nor had ihcy
any accurate idea Of the car dimcn-
sions.
4. The said car has a measured ca
pacity of 1900 cubic. feet. and with
most articles permitting close slowing
away, nearly al this space can be
utilized. Cotton being Of larger bulk
than most articles calnot always be
slowed Without some loss of space. cx-
