GRANT. (Subject to decision of Republican Niitlonnl Convention.) Llaljilitr for Accidental Deaths. Riiilwny World. Among the decisions rendered by the Supreme Court, tin January 6th, wag one of considerable interest and Importance, as it fixes the limit of the liability of the Pennsylvania Hail road Company for death resulting from accident on the road. Mary A. Langdon, for herself and her children, brought suit for $20,000 damages for the death of her husband against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, operating the Western Pennsylvania Railroad, and got a verdict for $3,712.00 in Common Pleas Court No.l, of Allegheny county. The undisputed facts of the case are as follows; Stephen Langdon was an employee of the company defendant, but was not engaged on the Western Pennsylvania Railroad, where the ac cident oceured. He was inspector of locomotives at the outer depot, at Pittsburgh. The depot had been burned by the rioters the day before the accident occurred. He lived on the line of the Western Pennsylva nia Railroad, u few miles out of the city, and was in the habit of riding to and from his home daily on a com mutation ticket, such as is usually sold to passengers. At the time of his death he was riding in the baggage car. While Langdon was sitting in the baggage car, and after the train had left Sharpsburg it collided with the mail train, injuring him so severely tiiat he died in a few hours. If lie had been in the smoking car or any of the passenger cars lie would not have been injured. The part of the decision of the most general interest was on a point raised by the company's counsel which was refused by the court below. They claimed that as the company had never accepted the benefit of any leg islation under the new constitution that in no eve.it could there be a re covery greater than the sum of 5.000, because of the acceptance by the com pany of the act of April 4th, 1S08. The Supreme Conrt, Mr. 'justice Trunkey dissenting, say that the court below erred in refusing this point. The following is the substance of the decision on this point: J. lie second section of the act of 4th April, lS'iS, limits the amount to be recovered in actions against railroad companies and common carriers for negligence to ,$3,000 for injuries and S5.000 in case of death. The consti tutionality of that act, so far as it limits the liability case of death, was con firmed by the Supreme Court in the case of the Cleveland and Pitts burgh Railroad Co. vs. Rowan. The act has never been repealed by the legislature. It was contended, how ever, that it has been repealed bi section 21 of article 3, of the consti tution, which is as follows: No art of the general assembly shall limit the amount to be recovered for injury or In juries to persons or property ; anil in case of death from Hiieh injuries the right of action shall survive, and the general Assembly shall prescribe for whose benefit such aetiou shall be prosecuted. No act shall prescribe any limitations of time within which suits may be brought against corporations for Injuries to persons or property, or for other causes different from those fixed by general laws regulating actions against natural persons, mid such acts now existing are avoided. The first portion of this section ends with a period and is complete in itself. It has no reference to corporations as distinguished from natural persons, and imposes a restriction upon the power of the legislature to limit the amount to be recovered in cases of injuries or death. Jt speaks for fie future only and avoids no existing acts. The second part of the section prohibits any limitations of time within which actions for such causes shall be brought against corporations other than those fixed by general laws, and avoids nil such existing acts. That is to say, it avoids all existing laws imposing limitations upon the time of bringing suit other than those in harmony -with general laws. This is the plain reading of the section. The act of 1S08 is not such an act. It uit, but to the amount to be recovered. sid- from this the fourth section of lie act of 18t5 provides that "upon . V. ...... .1 . niu iict:i'iULiii!:e: ill r nrtwiwinnu icreof by any carrier or corporation he same shall become a part of its act .f incorporation." It was in evidence ltat the defendant company had for. iiimij in.-i.i-jHv.-ii mo provisions oi me ict of 1808 ; so that, at the time of the adoption of the constitution, the pro visions of said act limiting the miount to be recovered in the case of leath to $5,000 was part of the charter f the company. The effect of the onstitution upon the charters exist- g at the time of lis passage had been efore the court in the case of Hays vs. lie Commonwealth, when it was de- ided that charters of private corpora- ions are left exactly as the new con- itution found them, and so they ust remain until the companies olding them shall enter into a new infract with the State by accepting le benefit of some future legislation.

The House is still wrestling Willi its new code of rules, but makes little headway in adjusting the differences of opinion which have developed duingthe dally debates. Party lines re often Ignored in these discussions, and there is n promise that the rules, before final adoption, will beprunedns severely as the hatter's sign mentioned by Dr. Franklin, yet the Democrats will not abate the additional political power conferred by certain of the new rules, and these will, of course, be approved, no matter how much the Republicans may protest. It would bo queer, indeed, if the dominant party should omit taking full advan tage of whatever powers which it could appropriate, no matter whether in the Capitol or in Maine; and we fancy that certain provisions looking to limiting the filibustering field of the minority will be adopted without change. One of the proposed rules seems eminently proper. In the past the members selected their' seats by lot, at the opening of the first ses sion, by which means the leaders of the House were often sent to the out side circle, and could only secure more desirable positions by exchange with more fortunate members. The new rule will make length of service the basis of selection, thus giving the old members that advantage to which they are entitled. Asa general thing the new members take no part in the battles where parliamentary tactics are involved, and they are simply observers of the fray; hence, as lookers-on the outside circles are as suita ble to them as the inner, from which only a leader can act effectively. The House, however, is doing more real work in passing bills ami reso lutions than has been usual the first part of the session and white the rules start the windmill of debate into full speed, yet general legislation is at tended with a noticeable paucity of discussion. In the Senate Mr. P.ay- ard's financial theories have been about the only matter of interest np i tearing in its work. The sessions ore very short, rarely lasting till 2 o'clock and the various committees are leporting a surprising amount of husi nefs for action by the Senate. The ladies are pouring into both House hundreds of petitions praying for such amendment to the Constitution as will enable them to vote, and they are marshaling their hosts here witli a view to follow up these petitions by a vigorous assault upon Congress in personal demand for their politic::! rights. We referred last week to the murder of a citizen, a Mr. Hirth, a well-to-do grocer. Since then the negroes coin mittimg the crime have been arrested, and so great was the excitement and public demonstration over the affair, that the police feared an attempt at rescue and lynching. Though there weiemany threats, yet none put in execution, and the criminals will re ceive the regular legal investigation in our Courts. One of the four men ar rested has confessed the crime, and his statements are such as to convince the police that they have the right parties, particularly so since he is cor roborated by other evidence, which seems indisputable. Mr. Hirth was a highly respected young man, and at the time of his murder was on his way to visit the young lady to whom he was engaged to lie married. His death has given a feeling of great in seburity, inasmuch as it was caused by an assault made In a well-settled street, and right by dwelling houses, the inmates of which could hear the deadly blows. The case of Miss Lucy Rhett Wal ton Horton, for shooting Mr. John IT. Morgan, son of Senator Morgan, on New Year's day, has been indefinitely postponed in the police court. At the request of Miss Horton 's counsel, Mrs. Loekwood relinquished her pur pose of moving, as surety on bail bond for a dismissal of the case. She had no intention of requesting to be re lieved, but was and is anxious that, if nothing more is to be done with the case, the girl may be relieved of the charge, so as to render the task of getting her employment easier. Miss Horton is represented as being very anxious to obtain work of some kind, so as to cease being a burden to the friends which her necessity has drawn around her. Mr. Morgan was in court, and appears fully recovered from his hurt, which was, at worst, but a slight flesh wound. Mrs. Lock wood is an earnest advocate of women's rights, not only as to suffrage, but in all other respects. Her suretyship of Miss Horton is in keeping with her conduct generally, for she is ever ready to extend aid to any suffering oppressed sister, and in this ease young Mr. Morgan will realize, before he gets through with Miss Horton, that la has after him a dogged persistent figh ter in Mrs. Judge Loekwood, who will never cease her eflorts until her client, Miss Horton, has secured the fullest and amplest redress that the courts of the District can give her. Mrs. Loekwood is an able lawyer, and has earned, since she entered the legal profession quite a handsome property through her talents. She will take a prominent part, as in the past, in the National Women's Suffrage Conven tion, which will soon assemble here, for her knowledge of law and of legis lative matters are so great as to put her ut the head. Not however, in that mere wordy declamation of wrongs which brings sevral of her sisters to the front, but in real effect Ivencss us u worker uud counselor. Old Boreas has j;iven the first touches of real winter by covering us Willi a maiitlu of snow, which hides &I1 the feature of curly spring which shorn on every hand. The sun has shone warmly and bribiaiitly, the country roads were hardly muddy, occisIm:",! v .n v the thermometer fell to a pinching point of cold, an-' ns in the beginning of the Ccnteliui... year, we have hardly been aware that midwinter was upon us until now the whitened house tops and com mons prove It to us. The celebrated redskin, Chief Ouray with his wife and several other Ute chiefs, Is now one of our great object of curiosity, and attracts more atten tion than any other Indian delegation sienco the advent of Sitting Hull, years ago. He Is a fine looking fellow if it bo proper to draw any compari sons among Indians. As all Indians have the general characteristics of race in their high cheek bones, red skin, black eyes and hair, and large muscular development, it is as difll cult to say one is handsomer or more attractive than another, as to draw distinctions between two eggs. An egg is an egg, nnd an Indian is an Indian, and Ouray is an Indian in every muscle and lineament. The President gave his usual monthly reception on the night of the l"th, which was largely attended, and was as brilliant, in all respects, as any of its predecessors, in decoration of the White House and In richness and display of fashion and dress by Mrs. Hayes and her attendants, and the lady callers. The plchian, of course put in his appearance, and the lie spangled foreign attache and second lieutenant, whose huge brass epau lettes were not half so large; as bis conceit, hail often to elbow their way through the great unwashed throng, whose dress did not exceed the in evitable shiney, well-worn broadcloth coat and black alpaca dress.
