SToP-oFE TICKETS. rigorous duty
imposed by the law upon passengers who
purchase stop off tickets was laid down
by Judge Ludlow, of Philadelphia, last
week in trial Of suit by Eugene Dewey
against the Philadelphia and Baltimore
Railroad Company to recover damages
for his alleged illegal ejectment from q
car. He got on a train at Wilmington.
He intended to get off at an intervening
station and had paid fifteen cents extra
for the privilege. When the train arrived
at the station he stopped off without
having the conductor stamp his ticket
Subsequently when he took second
train to complete his journey he was told
by the conductor that as his ticket show
ed no evidence that he was allowed to
stop off, he would have to pay his fair or
ge. off. He refused to pay, and was put
off at Chester. He got on another train
and was about to be elected again when
be paid his fare under protest and came
ON to Philadelphia. Counsel for the rail
road company commended that it was the
duty of the plaintiff to notify the first
conductor that he had stop-off ticket
and have it so marked, and that having
failed to do so the company was not re-
sponsible. The court sustained the prop
osition and said that under recent deci.
sion of the Supreme Court passenger is
obliged to inquire as to the mode Of pro-
cedure necessary to the enjoyment of
particular privilege and that the plain
tiff in thisD case having failed to do SO
was responsible for the consequences of
his own neglect. A nonsuit was entered.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican electors OF New Jersey, and all
other voters without regard to past political differ
ences who are in favor eleyatlng and Identifying
American labor, protecting and extending home
industries giving free popular education to the
masses of the people, securing free suffrage and an
honest counting of ballots, eIectually protecting
all human rights In every section of our common
country, and who desire to promote friendly feelv
ing and permanent harmony throughout the land
by maintaining Natioual government pledged to
these objects and principles are requested to send
delegates to o State Convention to be held at
TAYLOR HALL, in the city of Trenton, on
WEDNESDAY, THE 23D of APRIL, Mt - o'clock
noon, for the purpose of electng four delegates at
large to the Republican National Convention
which will assemble at Chicago on June Sd next,
70 the nomination of candidates for President and
Vice President to be supported at the next general
election. The basis of representation under this
call will be one delegate for each two hundred Re-
publican votes cast at the last Presidential elee-
tlon, and one delegate for each fraction thereof
exceeding hundred votes; provided that every /
township, ward and precinct, legally defined as
such las in Jersey City, shall be represented by at
least one delegate.
Undor the rules prescribed by the National Re-
publican Committee, the Republicans of each Con-
gressonal district have the option of electing their
delegates TO the National Convention either In
conventions held In the respective districts within
fifteen days prior TO the meeting of the State
Convention, or as subdivisions of such State Con-
vention but the practice in this State having uni
formly been to select the district delegates at the
same time as the delegates at large, 1t is recon
mended that this usage be adhered to, and that the
delegates to the State Convention from the several
Congressional districts, meeting distinctive
Congressional Conventions in Trenton on the day
ofthe State Convention, elect two delegates each
10 the National Convention.

The New Jersey Senate voted down

The New Jersey Senate voted down
Senator Carpenters bill to fix the legal
rate of interest Mt 8 per cent. The bill
should have been passed. In listening
to the voice of money lending corpora
tions, the Senators misrepresented the peo.
| 10 who elected them. When the govern.
ment can get plenty of money at aud 81
per cent free of tax there is no reason
why the mass ofborrowers on good secur-
ity should pay much more. A bill sim.
liar to that of Senator Carpenters, has
been introduced into the Assembly by
Mr.. Lake, of this county, aud if passed
by the Assembly, as it should be, our
Senators will have second opportunity
to get record on this question.

free-trade articles for the Monmouth Dem.

1t is not strange that Mr. Morris is free

NEW YORK, April "a
The Alert, presented to the United

At the gaff of the Alert the American flag
was flying, and pennant streamed from
the mainmast. Lieutenant Commander
G. F. Goodrich was in command. The
crew consisted of twenty-nfne men who
were engaged to make the voyage,
with the understanding that they were to,

said the commander, s'for the ship had a,
terrible passage. We were twenty-four
days in coming across. The winds We're

bark rig, with double topsail yards,
spreads canvas enough to give her good

can carry about GOO tons Of freight, with
