CAICAGo, Oct. G. The Times has
full correspondence touching the expi-
dition of Mai. .Thornburgh. Assistant
Ad;t. Gen Williams, at Fort Omaha,
has compiled it for the purpose of an
swering certain adverse newspaper crits
icisms. 1t shows that Thornburgh
was selected as the man most fit 70,
task by the order Of the general of the
army. 1t calls attention to the fact
shown by correspondence that Agent
Meeker and the Governor or Colorado
considered 100 men sufficient TO enforce
order among The Indiens. Also that
Thornburg himself regarded the three
companies of cavalry and the one of
infantry-in all 200-which he took
amply sufficient for the expedition.
ThCrnburg was cautioned by telegram
sent after he was we'll on his way to
advance with prudence, he had reason
10 believe his force insufficient to COM
municate with headquarters, and call
for more, which he would receive. He
was advised that the matter was left
entirely TO his discretion. On September
&c Thornburgh sent his last telegram
from camp on Bear creek, Colorado:
Have met some of the Ute chiefs here.
They seem friendly. and promise to go
with Inc to the agency. They say the
Utes do not understand why we come
here; have tried 10 explain satisfactory
ly. Do not anticipate trouble" The
conclusion is that Thoruburgh, one Of
the most prudent and discreet ofoflicers,
was thrown off his guard by the saw
ages, and that blame can neither he i'm
puted to him or the department.

Decision of Public Interest,"

The case ofM W. Gait & Co. against
The Adams Express Company, on APP
peal from the Circuit Court, was decided
by Justice James yesterday, who atiir-
med the decision Of tho lower court in
favor of the plaintiffs. This suit was to
recover s7l9.35, the value of three
packages OF jewelry shipped by plain
tifs and lost while in transit IN an accl-
dent at Benning's station. The de-
PENDANTS pied a special contract set
forth in the receipt given for the goods,
and by the terms of which they only
agree to be liable to the amount OF
fifty dollars on packages not EXPIRE sly
valued. The Court referred to Lock-
woods case, 18th Wallace, Supreme
Court reports, page 557, and held that
a commentaries cannot shpulate for
exemption from responsibility for the
negligence of himself or servants; that
the principle OF law forbiddlns COM
mon. carrier to bargain for complete ex-
emption from responsibility for viola
ton of his duties, in particular cases.
also forbids him bargaining for a partial
exemption that any agreement which
operates to relieve the commentaries
of the duty OF proper and careful hand
ling Of goods and of good faith which he
owes the public is void; and as an
agreement that tue carriers negligence
shall be cheap must operate IN this way
it falls necessarily within that principle.
The fact that the shipper fails to advise
the carrier that the actual value ofthe
goods shipped was greater than Its sup
posed value does not affect the shipper
rights.
The decision is one OF very consldeia-
BILE interest. as every express receipt,
and in fact every blsnk also upon which
a telegrephic message is written. con-
tains stipulations relieving the carrier
and the telegraph company from GER
tain responsibilities. - Washington Star.
