American of Friday harmonizes in
the main with the views heretofore
expressed by the LEDGER, and is
commended to thoughtful men on
both sides of the question:
The excitement over the railroad
bill in the House yesterday was not
the result of any general dissatisfac-
ton with the Senate bill; indeed upon
the bill being read the expressions by
those who had advocated the caucus
bill were in the direction of harmony,
and cheerful acquiescence in the
bill passed by the Senate. The
intense excitement grew out of an
effort on the part Of few members to
prevent quorum. 1t so happened
that there were a good many members
ont when the vote was taken on the
motion to concur in the Senate
amendment (the Edmundson bill
adopted as substitute for the caucus
billy, and few members in the hall,
taking advantage OF the absence of
others, made up their minds to defeat
the bill by not voting.
For some hours no quorum could
be had, and there was very cunsidera>
BILE excitement in the attempt to get
quorum and TO make members vote.
The final passage of the bill in the
House last night is the end of long,
and at times bitter. contest over what
is known as the Railroad Commission
bill. AT the last the question took
rather a strange turn; those who had
supported the caucus bill finally
urged the paSsSge of this bill, and
the opposition came mainly from men
who had supported the Burrus bill.
When the quorum was obtained at
the night session, the Senate amend
ment was concurred 10.
Without stopping to comment on the
procedure by which the House con-
Cured, all of which appears elsewhere,
we wish to say that we regard the
passage Of this bill as fortunate.
We did all in our power to prevent
the passage Of the caucus bill, belie7-
ing it was too severe, and 10 conflict
with chartered rights. This bill, in
our opinion, is conservative and will
not prove hurtful to the railroads; in
deed, it is what the moderate men
have commended for all the time. and
we wero not a little surprised to see
some of the moderate men in the
House working te defeat it. If, by
tactics, this bill had been defeated,
the next canvass in Tennessee would
have been made on the railroad ques.
ton,
Such a contest we do not desire to
see. It is clearly not tho interest
Of the railroads to have such a con-
test.
The railroads and the people must
give this bill fair trial. 1t is moder.
ate-Only advisory-at least it con
tains no such power as the caucus bill.
1t doag not propose to take the man
agement Of the roads out Of the hands
of the companies. New roads are not
subject to it for ten years 1t does not
Interfere with existing contracts, and
alloys the roads to make special rates
with industrial enterprises.
We regard 1t IS 3 good solution of a
most troublesome question,

Distinguished English Arrival.

passengers Billy Madden, Of this city,
and Charles Mitchell, of Birmingham,
England. Mitchell ha, been brought
here by Madden to fight Sullivan or
Slade or any other man who NAV
challenge him, He has vanquished
all competitors in England, he saws.
and there is no longer a field for him
there. Madden and Mitchell we're
met on the dock by Harry Hill, and
were escorted to Flushing, l.. |.
MitchelPs last fight was with Tug

Alice Livlngslone's Damages.

New York special: On motion for q
new trial to day in the suit OF Mary
Alice Almont Livingstone against
Henry Fleming, President Of the Cen.
trial Refining Company, in which the
plaintiff recovered verdict for SIS.
900 damages for betrayal under prom
is? of marriage, the defendants coun.
sci handed up the affidavit of Archi.
bald Cornelius. Cornelius accuses her
of immortality with himself while he
was coachman for her mother. The
letters in the affidavit, alleged to have
been written by her to Cornelius, are
unit for publication, and the counsel
said it would be quite sufficient if they
were read in private court. Affidavits
we're presented from Thomas Fleming,
the defendants father, and Henry
Fleming, the defendant, averring that
he was not worth more than $47, 900,
aud that instead of being a million
aire he has only 100000 in expectan-
cy, which would not be vested in
him until the death of his father or
mother.
The counsel, Mr.. Dewitt, said that
any verdict which stripped a man Of
everything he had, and rendered him
subject toImprisonment in the COM
mon Ill, was certainly excessive in a
case of betrayal under promise Of
marriage. This law did not, as a gen
eral thing, permit a recovery between
joint wrong doors. for the plaintiff
must be visited With some share OF
the culPability. The supreme duty
laid upon a woman is, that she must
preserve the integrity Of her charac.
ter; and if she does not do this, no
matter how great the inducement, she
stands somewhat in the wrong.
1t Miss Livingstone got one-third
Of the defendants estate, all that a
wife's dover would be, she would get
a sufficient verdict; and, standing as a
wrong doer herself, such an excessive
verdict as that of $4,000, in her
case, was Eot likely to preserve either
the purity or integrity Of her woman.
hood.
Mr.. Il. Sawyer, for Miss Livingstone
insisted that the verdict was as large
as it was because the proof satisfied
the jury that Henry Fleming NOT
only was guilty of betraying She
plaintiff under a pretense to marry
her, but that he had tried to break
down her case by accusing her of he.
ing woman Of the pavement. The
utter failure of the defendant to sus.
tain this assault had added to his
damages.
Over thirty sffidavits were pre-.
sented by the plaintiff 5 counsel in
refutation of the charge of Archibald
Cornelius. They set forth that AdoIph
Anderson. Who. it is alleged, hunted
out Cornelius for Fleming, has been
convicted of burglary and has been
Cornelius room mate. Mrs. Rodden.
an old servant, swears that there was
no improperly in Miss Livingstone
conduct when with the coachman,
When he drove her she always occu.
pied the body of the vehicle. An
affidavit was also submitted from Miss
Livingstone, denying that she ever
wrote to Cornelius the letters he fur
nished to the defense, or that she had
ever permitted any improper ad.
vances. She pronounces his allega-
tiOns false.
Her counsel asked that, in the
event the Court felt bound to reduce
the verdict, the plaintiff should have
the privilege of signifying whether
she would accept the reduced verdict
or Ia Ike a new trial.
