IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Jackson,
Of the United States District Court, rend.
cred an important decision yesterday.
Several years ago, when the steamer Ex.
press oil this city was running in the
Wheeling and Parkersburg trade, one
John Cochran, OF Peasants county, hail.
cd her on her up trip, saying he had
100 sacks OF potatoes that he wished her
to take to Wheeling and reship to Pitts
burgh to Tate, Steele & Co., commission
merchants OF that city, and asked the Cap.
tain OF the Express to advance the price
Of the potatoes to him. This the Captain
refused to do, and rang the bell OF the
boat to proceed. Cochran then said;
take them anyhow and do what you can
with them" The Captain took them,
saying that ice was forming in the river
and the weather was becoming very cold,
and he would probably be compelled to
ship them by rail, MIR. Cochran also told
the Captain that he was rather doubtful
Of the standing OF Tate, Steele & Co., and
unless the railroad or the boat upon
which the potatoes were to be reshipped
would undertake the collection ofcharges,
&C., to ship to Patrick Nelan, another
merchant In Pittsburgh. This latter was
done. Cochran did not realize, and
brought suit in the United States Court Ia
recover. The bill OF lading was not made
out.at the time, but was subsequently sent
to Mr.. Cochran. The plaintiff held that
this was contract and nothing could
change 1t, and brought his suit on it tc
recover the price OF the potatoes.
On the other hand, the defendants an
swered that the bill OF lading was moi
made up at the time; that it was filled up
afterwards and sent back to Cochran, and
consequently was no contract, but even
had there been Cochran had authorized
them to act as their best judgment would
indicate in the matter, and to advance his
interests as best they could. This was
shown by at least two witnesses. And
also, when the steamer arrived at Bellaire
It was ascertained that no connecting
steamer was at Wheeling by which the
transfer could be made. The Cleveland
and Pittsburgh Railroad Company had
refused TO take the potatoes 20. o. d.
on Tate, Steele & Co., and in iurtherance
oil instructions they had been shipped Il
Pat. Nelan.
Judge Jackson in his opinion, which
was very brief aud pointed, recited the
above, and said that the facts and oircum
stances were clearly in favor OF the an,
swer, and held that the steamboatman had
only followed the instructions OF the ship
per; that the Salt Valley, another steam
boat, had refused the potatoes, and then
the Express had been hailed, with the
foregoing results. In view Of these facts
he would dismiss the libel.
Hutchinson and Barr represented the
plaintiff and B, B. Dovener, Esq, the
respondents.

sire for race between the fast ones on our

make the following wager: We will bet
$25, 900, and will deposit the money on
call, that the steamboat J. NJ. White can
beat any other steamboat upon the Miss.

for the owners or hackers Of the Natchez,
R. E. Lee, John W. Cannon, Edward j.
Gay, or any other boat OF boats, TO prove
which Is the fastest boat upon the water.
Our proposition Is this: It makesno differ
ence whether the race be to hatcher or

post the sum OF 1000, and the winning
boat takes the stake.
II the race is made we will put 900

Is open to the entire river fraternity for
