Whether the Democratic party shall fight its
next Presidential battle on the basis OF acqul-
esceDce in or resistance to the Enfranchise-
ment of the Blacks, is n question to be
answered by itself, with primary regard to its
own interests and prospects, If it could make
the fight with equal chances of success, we
have no doubt that nine-tentls of its mem
bers would decide to take Frank Blair's Broad
head letter as its platform, and, treating the
XIVth and XVth Amendments as utilities,
regard its success as the end of Negro SUI
frage. But there are many Democrats who
protest against this as insurng a repetition OF
the defeat of 1868; and these insist that their
party accept those Amendments as valid and
will uphold Negro Suffrage accordingly.


What we ask of the party is clear decision
between these irrecorcilable positions and
frank avowal of their choice. The party can
not ride at once two horses caIeering so wildly
in opposite directions.


The Daily Globe of the 9th inst. contains the
full report of Gen. Blair's speech in the Sen

important avowals which were not indicated

The progress Of the law of partnership which
allows of the formation of limited partnerships.
has been very favorable to labor; for it has
enabled capitalists to put n given amount of
money into business, and in this way to aid
especially energetic young men, without risk
ing any more than the amount invested. In
the Hoffman House case, which was recently
tired, IN effort was made to give a retrogade
direction to the law, making the partnership
relation most dangerous one TO enter into.


Two men, Mitchell and Read, formed part
nership to keep hotel-tho Hoffman House.
They agreed, to begin with, that the partner
ship should continue certain length Of time
to wit, until May I, 1S1-and then should ex-
pire All this was inserted, in plan language,
, in the original articles of partnership, which
both the partners signed. Read, wlllTg
to continue the hotel business alone after the
expiration of the partnership, hired the
premises and took leases of them, to com
mence running after the cOpartnership should
have expired. Mitchell brought a suit against
him. demanding, not that the partnership
should be continued, but that the new leases
should be held to be partnership property, and
sold for the benefit of the firm.


The case was tried before the Hon. ID. p.
Ingraham presiding Justice of this dis
trict The learned Judge said that he found
no case precisely like it in the books, but he
decided it in favor of the defendant, Read.
Any anxiety which has been occasioned among
partners by hearing that such suit had
been brought will be relieved by this
decision. People would be afraid to
enter into partnership if they were
not to be able to regulate the term of its
duration by their own mutual agreement; or
if it were held that during its continuance they
were to be perfectly paralyzed as to making
any provisions for future business, to COM
mence after the end of the partnership. The
principle which Judge Ingraham has estab-
lished seems to us sound one, and of great
importance to the business community

Some Of our physicians have discovered, or
borrowed, new mode of cure lately. What

solely of milk. All kinds of nutriment belong
ing to maturer nourishment are absolutely for
sworn, and the body goes back to its primal
nourishment; and consequently, it is claimed,
is born again into fresh strength and beauty.
A certain Jerseyman, who in prosecution of
this plan drank over 400 gallons of butter
milk in the last year, is reported to
have risen a young Antinous from
tho relics of his grosser self, like
the eagle which renews her youth. Now, why
not carry out the principle into manners and
morals What if the milk cure was tried at
Washington, and our legislators modelled their
deliberations for a week or two after the
fashion of ignorant savagesf "The aborgines,n
says Hildreth, though subject to violent gusts
g of passion, wore on all public occasions a
grave and reserved aspect, and exercised
strict command over their feelings with a
dignity and decorum akin to that of the
ancient Greeks. In their councils precedence
/" and the most marked Difference were given
"to seniority, although grave respect was
"paid to the words of even the youngest and the

had not learned how to drown the voice of

the piping and whining of imbecile and un-
honOred old age"

immediate caucus on the Two Per Cent bill,
the Registry bill, and the other disputed mea-

agreed upon, and let every man constitute
himself a committee to watch and expose the
slightest detection. From this hour until
the adjournment Republicans expect every
representative they have in Albany to be at
his post, sick or well, and to vote in unison
with his party. Watch the man who, on any

 THE GREAT FILL on the Connecticut

 Western railroad Is now nearly completed. and very shortly the cars will be regularly crossing it. Doubtless there are many who know little Of this great work, so quietly.

 speedily, and successfully accomplished, to whom some information may be interest. ing. The Connecticut Western railroad extends from Hartford to the New York state line, distance of forty miles, and connects with the Duchess and Columbia

 k. R., which at Millerton forms junction

 with the Harlem road, thus affording an l easy and expeditions mode of transit to l New York. or west and north. Considera ble difficulty was found in constructing the road, owing to the nature ofthe ground in

 and about Norfolk, but none greater than had to be overcome at East Canaan, where 1t became necessary to make first deep cut and then to cross the long valley by an embankment or fill. 1t Is to this latter

 work tbat we now more especially refer.

 The cut. about one thousand feet in length,

 and of an average depth of forty feet, was comparatively easy, the earth and stone re- moved being disposed of in the great fill.

 Ibls latter extends across an open valley. exposed to high winds and foods and has an average elevation of about 80 feet. and I a length of one thousand feet from end to end. It has required for its completion | about two hundred and fifty thousand square yards of earth, most of which was brought from the hill at the northwest ex: tremlty of the fill. The earth was excayat. ed by means of one of Souther's steam 1 shoveis, capable of taking out from one

 and half to two square yards at each dip, and carried to place of deposit in cars prop. VI 1prop for If7,, performed with unparalleled rapidity. The shovel will load the cars as fast as they can be brought and the horses turned. The Whiting river and road passes through the Valley, and It was necessary to cross them with the fill. To do this large cul- vert has been constructed through the two arches (tunnels) of which pass respectively the river and road. The masonry is well and solidly built of granite aud limestone,

 mostly undressed. The foundations are deeply imbedded, and the arches skillfully turned, so that it can resist all action of the weather in time of flood, and abun- dantly support the superiucumbent weight

 The faces of the culvert are about twenty feet high above the road level to the cor nice, and seventy feet wide, and are plain ly ornamental. The depth from end to end IS two hundred and six feet; the span of the arches is twenty feet. and the spring four teen feet. The total cost of the whole work is about one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. MT. A.
