Common Carriers.

Judge Virgin not long ago granted man
damus compelling the Grand Trunk Railroad
to carry the packages of the International
Express Company over its line from Port
land to Lewiston. AS the Grand Trunk has
an express company of its own, it did not
wish to do this business, and appealed from
Judge Virgin to the Law Court. Meanwhile
the United States Supreme Court has rem
dered decision in similar case, that rail4
road company is mot common carrier of
common carriers, and is not obliged to car
ry the packages of all express companies, if
it does not so choose.

TARIFF MATTERS.

Morrison and His Supporters Prepared to
Make Hard Fight for Tariff Reduc-
ton.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Mr. Morrison has
decided TO call up the Tariff bill hin the
House the latter part Of next week. Tariff
refOrmerS in the House are confident now
that they will be able to get the matter up
for consideration, and many believe there
will be tariff legislation of some sort this
session. They are prepared to make hard
fight and take advantage of every circum-
stance in their favor. 1t is generally conSid-
cred that Mr.. Randall has placed himself at
a great disadvantage by introducing his bill
last session. BY so doing he committed him
self to the acknowledgment that revision
or the tariff is necessary, and the friends of
revision say lie can not refuse to consider
the question. They urge, too, that no man
III the House disputes that the revenues of
the Government should be reduced, and
that they can no longer refuse to attempt
the reduction. The opponents of the Nor
risOn bill are invited to consider the propo-
sitiOn in spirit of fairness and
10 amend the bill in any way
they have the power to do
that may please them. Many Republicans,
it is believed, are disposed to do this. Mr..
HiScOck and others of the Republican
leaders would favor taking up the question
and fighting the Morrison proposition with
4 substitute, taking the tax off tobacco and
fruit brandies and placing sugar OH the
free list. Such a proposition would, it is
believed, get the votes of the Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina delega-
tons,

Evidence Before Governor Lee Still Fur
ther COndemnatory of the Convict.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1O.-C. II. +. Dur
ing, the eX-policeman who was arrested
last night on the charge of bribing Herman
Joel, the watchkey witness in the Cluverius
case, was before the police court yesterday,
but the examination was postponed until
December IS. When considering the
petitions for exc cutive cIemency in the
case of CluveriuS the Governor sent
for Joel and questioned him in regard TO
the watchkey. At the request of the Gov
ernOr he described the interior of the
watch key which he had repaired for Gu
veriuS and afterward opened it in the pres
ence of the Governor. His description tai
lied exactly with The interior of tae watch
key. At the trial the commonwealth asked
that the key be opened by Joel, but counsel
for the defense objected. This was perhaps
the strongest point i'll the evidence against
the prisoner, and now since it has come to
light that the interior of the watch key was
found to be as described by Joel the evidence
Of the prisoners guilt is even more conclu-

wrecked at Southport yesterday while Ell.
deavOring TO relieve a distressed vessel,
and thirteen persons were drowned. An
other life-boat crew soon after ventured out
into the rough sea off that port to assist a
vessel and the men were also lost. Three
life-bOats had left Southport to assist a
distressed vessel. The latest report says
that the crew OF one of the boats succeeded
in reaching The men ON the vessel, but the
other two capsized and twenty-seven per-
sons were drowned. The survivors of one
of the crews say that five of their number
were underneath the boat for an hour in
water only knee deep. Three OF them
were suffOcated, but the two others were
rescued.

GOULD AND GRESHAM.

The Decision of Judge Gresham Against
the Management of the Wabash Road
Calls Forth Reflections by Gould That
Are Sharply R-buked.
NEW YORK, Dee. 1O.-BuSinesS men and
GreShan's decision in the Wabash railroad
case. at Chicago, and the newspapers are
lauding the judge to the skies. Mr.. Craw-
ford, the leading attorney i'm the case, also
comes in for great deal of favorable conf
ment The EUe1ling Post takes Dir. Gould
To task for his interview printed yesterday
morning, in which he said he knew little
about Judge Gresham, and that he believed
him to be suffering from Presidential fever.
The Post says: IF Mr.. Gould knew little
about Judge Gresham before, he knows a
great deal about him now. His experience
with the judiciary has been enlarged in a
striking and entirely novel way, but it
would be still further improved il Judge
Gresham should issue an attachment against
him for contempt and lock him up in Jail
the next time he goes to or through the
State OF Illinois. Such movement would,
we venture to say, add to Gould's stock OF
knowledge and to the judges popularity
more than any decision he could possibly
make. A more familiar acquaintance with
our best judges is, in fact, what Mr.. Gould
most needs"
The Commercial Gazette has a long
article on the same subject, in which il
says: Judge GreSham's decision last Tues
day in the Wabash recevership suit at
Chicago, is of wide-reaching significance
and is welcome fOrerunner that the law
will hencefOrth extend It's protection to the
holders of railway mortgages. The court
decides in favor of the appellants, bond
holders; removes the present receivers of
past methods and directs that separate re-
ceivers be appointed for the main divisions
of the system. The action IF the court
marks the elimination and collapse of one
OF the most bold faced and daring of all
recent schemes for railroad fraud The
Wabash is melancholy example of the
devastating work of the railroad wreckers.
But the court brought the cOnspiratOrs to a
reckoning. The admirable summing up of
the case by Judge Gresham puts final
prohibition upon the absurd and dishonest
bOndhOlders' interests the very men who
ruined them. To honest men, who believe
in the protection of vested rights the
courts comments will have a welcome
sound. To railroad spectators, wrecEers
and cOnSpiratOrs they give much needed
adlnOnitiOn Tor the future"

Again, none but the rich have the entire
