AT Neutrality-suspicious. PRESTON, q.
MONDAY. December 9th.
II. K. Macfarlane vs. Cecil Brown, re-
plevin OF a horse. Police Court appeal.
The hearing was concluded and decision
reserved
Wong Kim vs. J. H. Soper This was
an action OF trover to recover the value
OF 363 tins OF opium Mr.. W. K. Castle
Tor plaintiff, Mr.. J 7. Dare for defend
ant His Honor, in delivering judg-
ment, found the facts to be as follows
On the 1st Of April last defendant who
was then Marshal OF the Kingdom,
caused the opium, which had been
seized for violation OF the law, 10 be sold
at auction by Mr. Levey. and the plant
if became the purchaser for 1859 IS
cash, which amount he paid. There
was a light discrepancy in the evidence
as to the terms OF sale, but the Court
held that the opium was sold in bond
and that it was delivered by the de-
PENDANT To the authorities at the Custom
House, and was to be delivered by them
on board such vessel bound to China or
San Francisco as the complainant might
designate. 1t would thus appear that
complainant was not TO have actual
possession Of the opium. The opium
was Immediately counted and placed
upon Il hand cart in the presence OF COM
plainant and a receipt was given by Mr.
Markham, the Port Surveyor The
opium was forwarded TO the Custom
House, but was at once returned by the
Collector General, who refused to
TO receive it on the ground that Mr.
Markham had no authority to act in the
matter. The opium was taken back to
the Police Station in charge OF the same
officer and was kept until the great fire
occurred, when it was consumed.
Counsel for the plaintiff insisted that
the defendant was liable for the loss of
the opium. he not having complied with
the terms OF sale by entering the opium
at the Custom House
Counsel for the defendant contended
that the Police Station being a public
building and the opium belonging to the
Board of Health by law, it must be con-
siderel to be in bond, and they even
went SO lar as to contend that if the
opium was in private house it would
| make no difference.
His Honor does not agree with this
proposition on behalf of the defendant.
He is OF opinion that it was the duty OF
defendant to deliver the opium and enter
| it for export at the Custom House, and
that on it being returned he should have
taken the necessary steps to 50 enter it.
! But His Honor is of opinion that the
! plaintiff, in terms OF sale, was not en-
! titled to have possession OF the opium
! and that therefore this action will not
lie, although he may perhaps in another
| form of action substantially succeed. He
| admitted it to be a hard case for the
| plaintiff, the latter having paid his
purchase money, which has been ac-
| counted for to the Treasury, and it APP
peared to His Honor that it would be
equitable for the Government to refund
! it. He was, although very reluctantly,
compelled from the view he took of the
case to render judgment for the de
! PENDANT.

Jay Gould is as much product
of our civilization and of our laws
as any other man in the republic
The conditions under which he has
grown still exist, and they will
produce others like him. There is
not striker in the northwest who
gwen the same talents, the same
crafty spirit, the same ingenuity,
and the same fearlessness. would
not have done as he has done
The Gould's have not reared them
s.; selves over a helpless people.
They have risen above a stupid,
selfish and careless, politically
blgoted people. Lavish expendi-
ture, corrupt jobs, loosely worded
laws, incapable and dishonest Off
Gals, and Congresses devoid of
craftsmanship have made the
Gould's possible. The way to get
rid of them is to elect Legislatures
and Congresses which they cannot
control, and which will not be
afraid to legislate for all instead of
for the few.-Chicago Herald.

Bishop Bowman on Gould.

"If they could get Jay Gould by
the neck and kick him around fou,
or five blocks and not quite kill
him | think it would be a good
thing" said Bishop Bowman of the
Methodist church yesterday.
The venerable bishop came to
Chicago to dedicate a church Sun
day, and being here he attended
the regular weekly meeting of the
Methodist ministers at the Sher-
man House yesterday morning.
The eight-hour movement was be-
ing spiritedly discussed, and it was
in the course of his remarks on the
subject that he attacked Mr.. Gould.

A Good Bill.

CITY OF MEXICO. April a.
Congress is considering favorably
a bill providing for the penalty OF
death for all offenses against rail
ways and trains. Even the cutting
of railway telegraph wires, tamper-
ing with switches or the placing of
the slightest obstruction on the
track will be visited with the death
penalty.
This is a good precedent for this
country to follow.

Ifpeople only know just what
labor was doing all over the coun.
try they would not be SO sympa-
thetic. The TINES is trying to give
some of the performances INDUCED
in by Labor Associations, but to
give any thing like full report
would take several times the
amount of space the TINES has.
But if you would really like to be
posted, and know what is going on,
in labor circles, you can do so. To
give you all chance, this propo-
sition is made. For 81. so you can
get the MADISON TIMES and the

An inexperienced editor, in a
western town. fresh from college,
got off this vile joke, last February:
The recent cold spell covered
the creek with ice, and sliding was
INDUCED in by the youths and
ladies. Few shoe stores could boast
of as fine and varied an assortment
of lady slippers, as our creek. An
Infatuated committee of the citizens
gave him twenty-four hours to leave

Now that water news is an i'm
portant matter, and every hour
counts, it might be wise to try the
Shreveport Times, and see how
you like it. 1t gets here a few
minutes after 10 a. M, and has the
water news of the day before in it
The Vicksburg paper gets here any
time from 3:45 p. m, to Z D. m.
the train from the west being gen.
orally on time while that from the
east is rarely so, and has the
same water news. The Times has
the same telegraphic service as the
Herald, and is delivered here from
i've and a half to six or seven
hours earlier. You are saved at
least five hours of misery, not
knowing about the stage of the
river.
just why any one should want
the Herald except for late water
news is a little mysterious anyhow.
1t is doubtful if there are three
men in this neighborhood, who
derive any satisfaction from read
ing it, and who do not speak un-
fayorably oft. Yet they keep on
buying it. The Shreveport Times
has the merit of being Louisiana
paper, and even lift were no better
than the Herald, should be pre-
ferred. No one around here accuses
the Herald Of any special brilliancy
Or ability. Try the Times.

The Greenville Miss, Times
opens out on Mr.. Miles, the Hell.
ena, Ark, water prophet, and APP
pears to have an idea that he is a
humbug. The Times also CON-
plains that instead of devoting his
time to sensational water articles
for the papers, Mr.. Miles had bet
ter send his signal service report.
That is good advice. as a signal
service officer, Mr.. Miles is a dis
nal failure. In years gone by he
has said that he knows "what's
the matter with Hannah" and
when there is danger he will let it
be known, but the report from
Helena is generally missing.
