The New York Bulletin reports
an important decision, involving
the liability of express companies,


which has just been rendered in


the case of Cochran VS.. the Adams
Express Company in New York.
The facts of the case are briefly
these: The sum of $4,000 was
committed to the company to be
taken to New Orleans. The mon
jey was supposed to have been put


in the company's safe on board


the steamer "Bio Bio," which was
burned at New Orleans before dis.
charging her cargo. The safe was
shown to have been put into dry
goods box and properly shipped,
but no one could tell what had be.
come of it after it was taken on


board, nor could the divers who
visited the vessel discover any
traces of j.. The defense was


based upon the proviso of the con-
tract by which the company we've
relieved from responsibility for
any loss unless it was proved to


have resulted from the fraud or
negligence of themselves or their
agents. Judge Cardozo, before
whom the case was first tried,


held that although there was no
direct evidence of fraud, enough


had been proved to put upon the
company the burden of proving
that they were not negligent.
Judgment was accordingly given
for the plaintiff, and this, OH ap-
peal, the Supreme Court in Gener-
al Term has promptly affirmed.
The circumstances of the case are
not extraordinary. and the judg


ment which IS now sustained is
of importance as defining more
clearly the responsibility Of ex-
press companies for the safe trans
portation and delivery Of valua-
bles committed to their care.

became the receptacle OF hetero-
geneous compound that science
could not analyze. A young r
member of faculty noted this
as very singular fact, and asked
of him the reason for it. The doc
tor hesitated a little, and then re-
piled that, though in ordinary
cases he knew what to do, there
were instances when all his medi-
cal skill failed. At such time it
was his custom to resort to the
big bottle, and leave nature and
accident to accomplish the cure.
"And, will you believe it ?" said
he, ''some of my most brilliant

readable article from the London BelgrGota.
Its views of New York and New York life are
spicy and suggestive. The New YORK
HERALD is singled out as special feature
of the great metropolis of the Western Con-
tinent. Our Sunday and Monday issues are
marvellous in the eyes Of the people Of the
modern Babylon. The HERALD, in the great
role as a preacher Of righteousness, is some
thing so startlingly novel that they cannot
comprehend it. Its 'struly cosmical or plane
tary sweep and character" ore better under

The NORTH CAROLINA DIFFICULTIES. The
arbitrament of the law has finally been
demanded and conceded in relation to the
anarchical state of affairs in North Carolina.
The powerful writ Of habeas corpus has been
called into play, and we had reason to expect
that we should get the true, unvarnished story
of the whole proceedings; but 1t would seem
that even the judge was blind as well as
justice, for he has rendered an opinion to the
effect that Colonel Kinks reasons for not obey
ing the writ of habeas corpus were suficient,
but that the writ must be obeyed by some
other man. He has, therefore, served the
writ upon the Marshal Of the Supreme Court
of the State, and, as he is not a militia officer,
1t is probable he will obey 1t.

A FUNNY CASE IN JERsEY.-Some time
ago aman was killed by railway train over
in Jersey-an occurrence so common that it
has come to be regarded as impertinent for
any one to take notice Of it, But the Coroner,
who perceived o fee in the facts, disregarded
the railway etiquette and started an inquiry.
He went to the conductors, engineers, superin-
tendents, everybody, and they individually
and collectively told him to 60 to Jericho.
The man was dead, and what was the use Of
making fuss ? But the Coroner kept at it,
and is at it still, and at last has succeeded,
after making many arrests, in finding out the
name of the conductor of the train. This,
however, is not very near to verdict; but
the Coroner will keep on. Would not this
Jersey plan Of buryng men without verdicts
apply in this city even better than the plan
in use of finding verdicts Of self-defence?

mission to ''the Branch" was to ''see" General
Grant and Murphy, and talk it all over with
them about the Custom House business /; but we
understand that the Senator did not 60 down
for this purpose, and did not see Grant or
Murphy, and did not and does not want to see
them or either of them. From this we appre-
bend that the Senator, like Sempronius, sis
still for war, though we think his true course
is to make it up with General Grant and with
Murphy, and to bury the hatchet and smoke
