of MIR Yarmouth who was attending to
his real estate at Moscow, raised panic
among the mill men by causing them to be,

transfer their accounts against Mr.. War
mouth to him. He then sued Mr.. War
mouth but compromised by paying the cost Of
suit apologizing to Mr. War mouth, robbing
the hands of their hard earned money and
then jumped the country The amount Of
the robbery is $4,000 in cash and note
due in the coming Summer for 100.

In the latest issue from the Court Of Appeals
is narrated the story of Adoph and the horse
car, which gave rise to an extended discussion
of the right of the common people to use the
city car-tacks. Hundreds of cases like ii occur
every year; this particular one was taken to
Albany for ADJUDICATION. AdOlph WAS driving
a heavily loaded onc-horse wagon along Avenue
A, and made use, as drivers of private vehicles
habtually do, of the street railroad track. A
car came up behind him, moving at an unusual
rate Of speed The cardIiver shouted to him
to "clear the track and he immediately ell
deavored 10 do so but before his heavy wagon
could turn of completely the car ran into the
rear end of it, and the wagon was upset and
AdOlph badly hurt. Hence IL lawsuit for dam
ages; involving such questions as whether the
car-tracks belong altogether to the railroad
company, so that an individual who drives upon
them takes all tho risk, Or whether first come,
first served is the proper rule, and anyone
has the right to drive where he plcases i'll the
public street. The decision was that AdOlph
was not i'll the wrong in using the car track,
but WAS bound while doing 50 to take reason
able care and keep ordinary watch against amy
car OYertnklng his wagon, and TO make prompt
effort to turn out for it. The cars have pref
erential right upon the track There is duty
upon an individual who drives upon it ia keep
watch behind his vehicle and turn out in season
to avoid delaying any overtaking car. If he
can show that he took this Gre, but was, will
fully or by gross negligence of the car driver,
run into Notwithstanding, be may recover dam
ages but not otherwise.
Judge FOlger says that the right of the gen
eral public to use the hOrsc-car tracks stands, III
law about half way between the right TO travel
on the ordinary highway and the right to drive
across steam railroad track at a highway
crossing. In the common road, each ordinary
vehicle has equal right with another; driver
may drive fast or slowly, rs he plcascs, and is
not bound to look back or listen for faster
drivers, but it is their duty to make courteous
request for leave to pass, and wait till Il safe
opportunity can be given. In attempting TO
cross steam railroad the private driver is
under the highest duty to take every possible
precauion against the approach of a train at
the moment; for the cOmpanys right is cx-
elusive The horsc-car company's right is not
exclusive. 1t has preference only. Any one
Of the general public has the right to drive his
team and vehicle along the track lengthwisa, as
we'll as to cross it at the intersection Of streets
But private travellers are bound to leave the
track to the unrestricted use of the company

TILE mHLTTIHER C1SE.

There were some new developments IN the
inquiry at West Point yesterday. The reports
of the experts in handwriting were unan-
imous in their opinion that Whitaker
WAS himself the writer Of the warning note,
and their conclusions will doubtless have
great effect upon the Court. Many Will, how
ever still adhere to the theory that the rescm-
blance to WhittakcI's handwriting was itself
q forgery, and Will fluid confirmation of their
belief in conspiracy to ruin the iricndIcss
lad in the extreme haste with which General
Schotield and all hands at West Point adopted
the utterly improbable notion that Whitaker
devised the whole outrage upon himself. On
this point we do not think it ncediul yet even
10 form an opinion. Tn that aspect the whole
case is of only trivial consequence. WhlttA-
ker's manly bearing and straightforward re-
plies yesterday, under severe and lingering
crosse examination, are certainly strong points
in his favor. and will have their due weight in
causing the public to hesitate to believe him
guilty.
The one important fact in the case re-
mains inst as important as ever, no matter
what Whitaker may be, and would be
equally important if there had never been any
Whitfak His case is merely the occasion that
happens to reveal it. The country is maintain
ing mt West Point free school in which
the pupils, not only taught but fed and
clothed mt the public expense, have
cousDircd for years, apparently with the con
nivance if not with the encouragement of
their officers, to defeat the public wish. This
conspiracy sought to make the Attendance
Of a colorcd student impossible, by aboo-
lutcly cutting him off from all recognition
rs completely rs if he were not II
human being at all, but merely
a stick or stone. If that is the
spirit of West Point, then, admitting for
the moment all that Is charged against
Whitaker the only wonder is that
every coIorcd hoy who has ever been
there has not also been made Whit
taker. Till West Point can show that it
has reformed its present code altogether,
it cannot obliteratc the idea, which has re-
Gently taken 50 firm hold upon the
public mind, that its spirit is essentially un-
republican, its practice barbarous, and the
tone Of its young m,n that of cads, rather
than OF soldiers and gentlemen.

whenever car wishes to occupy 1t. The
grouad of the privilege is that the car is ne
ccssarily confined to the track, while carts and
carriages can turn of at pleasure. But the
track is not given to the company IN sense
which forbds tile use OF it by the public.
Private drivers who use it are not trespassers,
but they arc in duty bound to keep watch for
the approach of any Overtaling car. They are
not entitled to jog along until car-driver asks
them to clear the track but must keep out OF
the way of the street-cars as far as reasonable
watchfulness and care enable them to do so,
provided the street-cars are not travelling at an
improper speed.
These explanations are independent Of that
act of the last Legislature which declares it a
misdemcanor wilfully to obstruct the running
of any hOrSe-car

The agitation begun sometime ago by

place of Washington and Fulton Markets as
they now stand has resulted, as we anticipated
not only in the passage of bills looking to that
end but also in removing much Of the pre-
judice which stand-owners and persons having
stores IN the vicinity Of the markets had
against any improvement. 1t is significant that
this change of feeling occurs at the very time
that q large number of the heaviest purchasers IN
the markcts-the hotel prOprietors--have com
bined to make Manhattan Market the centre OF
their trade. The maIketmen have been among
