Bills of Lading

The case of Friedldader & Co., =. The
Teras and Pacific Rail,cay, recently de
cided by Judge PARDEE in the Circuit
Court at Galveston, was suit based en-
a bill of lading, executed by one of the
station agents of the defendant for 300
bales of cotton. The plea of fraud was
interposed as q bar to recovery, and
on the trial it was proved that the bill
had been fraudulently issued by she agent
without having received the cot
ton. FkIEnLANDER {. Co. we're
third parties holding the bill without
knowledge of the fraud. Judgment was
given for defendant, dismissing plaintiff
action with costs, the court holding that
the company was not liable under the
circumstances for the act of the agent
who had fraudulently issued the bill OF
lading for cotton not received.
Whatever may have been the original
Office of bill of lading, in commercial
usage it is now treated in many respects
as a certificate of deposit or letter OF
credit. We believe the general opinion
among lawyers is that the receipt, duly
signed by an authorized agent of the
carrier, cannot be disputed when held
by third parties innocent of any fraud
in connection with it. 1t is certainly
the opinion of the commercial commu-
nifty, as evidenced by the great facility
with which money can be raised on bills
of lading.

Van derbilt's Will.

Perhaps the most remarkable tesla
mentary disposition of property on
record, is that of the late WILLIAM H.
Vanderbilt. 1t is remarkable not
only for the great value of the estate of
which it disposes, but for the clear, sys-
tematic and businesslike manner in
which the disposition is made.
To his wife he gives for the term of
her natural life, in lieu of dover. the
family residence and all the belongings,
including works of art, plate, silver,
ornaments, musical instruments, library
carriages, horses, &c, and authorizes
her to exchange or dispose of any of the
chattels except pictures, statuary and
works of art In addition to this he
settles upon he9an annuity of 100000
and directs that sufficient sum be set
aside to yield that amount, 100000 of
which she May dispose of by will. All
of the property in which the wife has a
life estate goes to his son GEORGE w. at
her death, with remainder to such son of
GEORGE w. as he shall by his last will
appoint, and in default of such testament

survives him, and in default of such
survivor, to his grandson VIM H., son of
CoRSELIUs, s'his sons, his heirs and
assigns forever
To each of his four daughters, all
married, he devises the residences in
which they now live.
He disposes of $50. 100000 as follows:
To each Of his eight children -four sons
and four daughtersl he bequeaths the
income Of $5,0o0,0o0, the principal to
be held in trust by the trustees named
in the will, for the benefit of his grand
children who take at the death of his
children per sterpes. And to each Of his
said children he bequeaths $4,000, 900,

No Profit at All.

Col. A. X. MCCLURE, that veteran
and enlightened politician who directs
the Philadelphia Times, puts the ques-
ton in very compact and conclusive
form:
''If the Democratic organs could put the
CLEVELAND Administration down, what
profit would the Democracy gain?"
1t would gain no profit at all. To pull
bwn the Administration of Mr. CLEvi;-
LAND in the year 1886, would destroy
every hope OF Democratic success in the
year 1888.
There is one wise, prudent, and safe
way of dealing with this whole subject,
and that is for all members of the Demo
cratic household to dwell together in
unity so far as possible, and to walk in
the ways of forbearance and concord
with each other.
If, nevertheless, there are any Demo
cratic organs that dislike Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND and his policy so heartily that
they cannot easily control their indigna
ton, let them carefully consider what
will be the effect on the great body of
the Democracy of giving such passion
vent and action. Perhaps serious in
vestigation may convince them that the
personal qualification. of assailing the
President can only turn out in the end
a matter of bsrrenness and of destiuc.
ton; and if this he so, why should
they not desist?
This argument might also have its
weight with Mr.. CLEVELAND himself.
He ought to understand that there is
such thing a. standing so very straight
as to lean over backward. Let rs have
peace all around.
The chief duty at present Is to
establish and confirm the Democracy in
the permanent coniU of the Federal
Government; and this duty is even
more obligatory upon Mr. CLEVELAND
than upon any other Individual;
Much must be borne which is hard to
bear.
Much given away which if we're sweet TO

EDITOR CLARION: Circuit Court has
been IN session for the past three weeks
and a number of cases, principally of
minor importance. have been disposed Of,
but the case that has been chief in pub
tic interest was that of the State vs.
John. b. Martin, charged with attempt

4th day of December, 1884.
The case may be briefly stated as fol-
lows:

children, but had an adopted daughter
named Mollie Heath's wife. who
owned the plantation, died IN 1884, and
in her will gave Heath life estate in
the property, with remainder to Miss
Mollie. Martin proposed To marry Miss
Mollie, to which Heath objected. Hesth
had upon his life an insurance policy
for $1,000 $1,000 Of which was in favor of
Miss Mo!iie. Ii was in evidence that
Martin was young man of steady and
sober habits. On the 9TH Deeenfer
1884, Martin who at that time was not
employed by Heath, but was carrying
on the business of a butcher in Yazoo
City, Went to- Heath's house, complained
Of feeling sick aud asked for some
whisky. Heath took a flask Of whisky
from a seed box, where he kept it, and
gave it to him. supper was announced
and Martin declined to go to the
table, but remained in the sitting
room Martin slept in the same bed
that night with Heath aud left at day-
break the next morning. Two days
after that, Heath at the request Of one
Roberts, working on the place, gave him
drink from the same flask. Soon after

State, was tried at the present term and
resulted in a verdict of guilty. A motor
for new trial was overruled, and defen
