AS the questions involved and decid-
ed in the case of John NJ. Morris against
the Railroad Company, which occupied
so much time of the Circuit Court in
this city week before last, are of more
than ordinary public Importance, we
give full history of it.
Mr.. Morris sued the Company for
charging him more freight on 212 car
loads of lumber shipped from Vulcan
Switch to st. Louis ranging. from fifty
cents to sixteen dollars per car load.
The case was tried by a jury, and the
chief contest turned upon the question
of what was "a car load" Before the
evidence was concluded all other ques-
tions virtually vanished from the case.
Isswas clearly known that the distance
from Vulcan Switch was few yards
over one hundred and twelve miles
from st. Louis. 1t also appeared clear
ly that the cars upon which the lumber
was put carried from 10000 to $4,000
pounds. But when the question OF
what constitutes "car lead" was
reached a sharp and well defined issue
was raised by the counsel representing
the respective parties. The Company
contended that by its regulations ex-
listing in 1875 and prior and since that
time, and by a usage and custom uni
vesaHy prevailing witt its employees
and those doing business with it, a lear
load" was fixed and understood to be
90, 900 pounds, while the contention
on the part of Mr.. Morris was that
tear load" was the weight marked
and stenciled on the cars capacity. By
section S34, r. s. 1879, it is provided
that railroad companies shall not charge
for each car load of lumber, more than
s. for the first twenty miles, So for the
second twenty-five miles, and 50 for
zach succeeding twenty-five miles or
fraction thereof, provided the fraction

of Mr.. Ferd. Aubuchon of French Viii

and unlocked the safe to get some

The Reynolds Outlook sketches a
knock-down, drag-out affair: ga fight
occurred on Logan's Creek last week
between John Copeland and Bill Angel,
over some very trivial thing. Our re-
porter says the boys fought hard fight
AMI in the inclosure where they fought,
could be found pieces Of old clothes,
blood, hair, the ground torn up anu
something else." The Outlook doesn't
tell which combatant came out best
a rather important omission, for, if Bill
got the worst of it, wouldn't he be a
fallen Angel?

We see that those counties to whom
the late Legislature gave S11,5o0 as
palliative to numerous great and puo-
lie calamities," don't know how to dis
pose of the money. One wants 10 build
a Jail, another rehabiiitate its court

better call an extra session OF the Leg
islature to dispose OF this matter?

visited Egypt Mills and viclnage OH
Thursday of last week. The hail al

down this way more than two miles,

it's good policy and justice for the state
officials to drop the fruit into her lap
land perhaps it isn't.

70 the Memory Of Jonathan Hayden.

Departed this life at his residence near the
village of Chaptico, on the 10th instant, after
a long illness, JONATHAN HAYDEN, In the
5sth year of his age.
The deceased, though eminently qualified
to fill most any office within the gift OF his
countymen, preferred tile quiet of farm life,
consequently he was best known to his fami-
~ and neighbOrs, who recognized In him ev-
cry virtue that constitutes devoted husband
an indulgent father, hospitable neighbor and
true friend
None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise.
Though 1t Is painful TO lose one whom we so
highly esteem, yet we can console ourselves
with the thought that our loss 10 bis ever,ast-
ing gain, and that we can one day meet him
where parting is unknown. few years ago
we beheld the deceased bending low DER the
grave of his first born Ia youth just blooming
into manhood and now we have gently laid
the father by his son. Their bodies lie side
by side In the cold narrow cell, but their
spirits, we trust, are dwelling together, In the
presence Of God, on that evergreen shore of
infinite bliss In rendering our sympathy TO
the bereaved family, we would say, try to
bear patiently your sad affection. God, in
taking part of your family circle, knows
best, The chain is severed, but for season
Soon may you be called, then reunited before
the throne Of God, No sad farewell no
parting tear to ruifle that calm repose Tin the
far away home Of the soul"

County Politics. 1--WE had been led to be-
lieve that March Court would set the politi-
cal ball a-rolling and that hereafter we
would be able to serve up for our readers
every week. fragrant dish of st. Mary's
county politics. Last Tuesday, the Central
Committees of the two parties were in town
and we interviewed members of both. In
the words of the great o. K, we ARE chock
full Of information, but what we learned
from our side we are not allowed TO say !:
but our readers may rest satisfied that things
have been done which we arc not permitted
to diyulge; and should they lead, as we
hope they will, to movements we are not
suffered to make public, they cannot fail
to result in a contamination We are forbid
den to make known. But If, on the other
hand, the movements which we are not at
liberty TO describe should be followed by
strokes we are restrained from explaining.
our friends will find the effects it would not
be judicious in us to set forth will produce
consequences which we are denied the priv
ilege of developing We are in the same
dilemma In regard to the other side.

A New OYstsr TronhIe. Board

a New Oyster Trouble. THE Board Of
Public Works has recently issued an order
instructing the Commander of the State Fish
cry Force to allow any boat licensed for
dredging to carry oysters mp to the LIST of
May and to allow longing vessels to tong
until the 25th Of April. From what quarter
the Board of Public Works obtains the right
to nullify and defeat an act Of the Legislature,
il has not been given US to see. Certainly,
it Is mot sufficient answer TO say that the
present Winter has been very much against
tho oyster people and that they have not in
consequence been able to secure their usual
quantity of oysters this season, or to earn
enough to keep them from want. That is
their misfortune and may be a good reason
for repeating the law at the next session Of
the legislature, but that the Board has no
right or power to set aside or postpone an
exigent act Of the General Assembly, or to
issue orders to the Commander of the Fish
cry Force to that effect, we would suppose
is too clear for argument.
