F,om the Memphis Commercial,
We have oiten called attention to the fact that
on the outskirts of the city there existed au
organized fraud ol liorse-thievos, whose whole
sale depredations in this line have beeulonj? and
sorely kit by piflny ot our citizens. It seems
that lor some tmn tlte stock which wai stolen
irom this section ot the country was generally
taken to Tishomingo and, J ! fa A-amba counties,
Mississippi, and there dUpoeed of at about halt'
its real value. Alter thus dippos"nsr of the
toulf) on their return to this city,
their admiration lor hovseSetll Wing 8 great,
aud their recurd lor tne Seventh Command
ment bo small, that all horses within their reach
Wire goboled and taken to this city, where tney
were, as in hoith Mississippi, sold at about half
price.
This system of stealing has, undoubtedly,
been carried on tor some time, and would still
be canied on but lor the citizens ol'daltillo, who
gained an inkling of the manner, set detectives
on tneir tracK, ana rcaauy lerreieu oat tneir
entire system ol plundering. A week 6?o last
Friday, tnis trrtnp, headed by ono Bowly, who
resides about three miles outside this clty'on the
Gerroantown l'lank road, entered tho town of
fca'.tillo, and were immediately arrested by the
ci.izcns, who, upon consultation, determined
upon ridding the community of such miliaria,
aud a short time thereaf ter Bowlv, with his six
confederates, were ordered to be shoU This
sentence was carried into immediate execution,
and these bad men thus expiated the folly of
their manifold crimes. We were unable to learn
the names ot the entire gang.

Mis Canfleld, of Cincinnati, was in the water
three hours and a halt. Bho does not recom
mend the cork life preserver very highly. She
had one on, and when she got into the water
she got a small board and floated with that.
While in tie water some person grabbed her
foot, and hold on, in their death struggle, bho
says the was perfectly calm, and not excited in
the least. She saw she could not keep up, so
she gave a sudden kick, and the person who
held her by the toot let go, and she floated on
down stream. She says she was held up by this
board, and a mule which had come in contact
with the board. The mule held the board up
for more than half an hour with his nose. Miss
Canfleld lost everything she had excepting her
watch, which she went back to her state-room
for before going into the water. She was picked
up by a boat train the Evening titar, and taken
with others to Vicksburg.

DISLOYAL NEWSPAPEES IN THE
SOUTH.
Cata t tb Klchmuatd ''Kamlar
Ordera from Wosierail Ctraat,
The New York Times ot this morning has the
following special despatches from Washington:
The history of the suppression of the Rich
mond jLjaminer ha not tern heretofore given
to the public. We are now enabled to pnssent a
brief statement of the whole matter as it occur
red. The special articles to which exception
was taken appeared in the Era miner respec
tively of the dates of Jnnnary 20 and February 5
and 6. In the first date occurs this paragraph,
in the leadlnu editorial:
: ''l twould be immeasurably the worse eonse
qnence ol our delc.it in this war that the South
ehould lose its moral and intellectual distlno
tions as a paoplo, and ceas to assert its well
known superiority in civilization, in political
n'holarshlp, and in all the standards of indi
ldual character over the people ot the North.
That superioilty has been recoinmed by every
toTtiirn observer, and b the intelligent every
where it ts the South thnt in ttie pan penned
four-filths of the political literature ol America,
and furnished the list of names best known in
F.urc.pe cither lor commanding statesmanship
or (or personal vir.ne. That superiority the
war ha not conquered or lowered, and the Sautn
will do riant 10 claim and cherish it."
In the eunia paper is printed an account of a
ball at tli KaTinrd House, given by the oillcers
of the Union army. Tho writer ridicules and
insults Federal soldiers; alter giving an account
of the preliminaries ol the .lail, ho proceeds:
"The evi niDg arrives, the Ballard is resplendent,
Ihere sretlie haughty t'aucers, the massive,
gorgeous rpHulctfl.tho polished boots, the shining
face, anC the ubiguitoiu brass; there are women,
ico, and Southern women, we blush to scy it,
kuii:ng on the aims winch guided the weapon,
or perhaps drew tho sabre in the deadlyconilic:.
The rlance uoes on. Supper 1 announced. Tho
band strikes up, and the gav throng pass Into the
fuppcr room; we count lorty-flve lalles in all:
but, thank God I we see but few of the Rich
mond ludies. ISui.ftooI whence that foyous
looklng, bilchtecd Southern girl? Do bur
eyes deceive u-lf can it be? We look asain we
doubt we look acnin, but it is so. We cast our
ejesover tbe room, but in that crowd we can
sr e only one other !ndy ot Richmond. We know
the rupper is over; the sound of music breaks
forth, and the forty-nve ladies are soon again
whirling in the dance. The music is delightful;
the rot,m glitters with brass buttons and
eraulets; but where is the joy lor the
Southern heart ? Shall we lawn and truckle,
play the hypocrite and smile when our hearts
are lull of woe? Where are tbe memories of the
battlefield?" Another article lollows, headed
"Bellum and l'o.t Bellum," describing the
chanced appearance of ail'airs at the hotels, and
lnvevbinir against the better treatment accorded
to the Union soloicr in comparison with that
heretofore and now given to the Confederates.
This it equally as bitter and vengeul as
the preceding a-tieles. In the Examiner
ol Jthe Mh is a "double-leaded" notico at the
hadof the editorial column, stating thit the
demand fi r copies of the Examiner containing
the account of the hop at the hotel was so great
thht the publisher was compelled, in order to
accommodate the large number of Irienis and
readers who defirc to get copies of the account
ot the Lop, to that morning issue a large special
edition, containing, in addition to the usual
reading matter, the two articles which seem to
have created such a decided sensation. In the
same paper are two other paragraphs, calculated
to perpetuate bad feeling between Notth and
South, one of these reterrlng to the source
of iniorraation upon which the account of the
hop was made up.concluding thus: "It is enough
lor us to knoiv that we obtained it accurately
and that, too, without getting our foot within
the circle where any 8outhern man, however
weak his antecedents, should blush scarlet to be
found, no matter now Yankeeized and galvan
ized he be now." In the third and last paper
there is a reproduction of an account of
anoiper i-oyai union Hop at the SpoHr
wood, tt,ch 6c6ttT5'e8
a column
of the Examiner, and gives a list of the ladies
no were present, ana tnorerore contaminated.
The editor published a card in the same paper,
purporting to come from a number of ladies. of
Ktcnmond or the nrst respectability. The feditor
thanks the ladies, and to show noT 'ae prizes
the card promlsps to preserve it la one of the
handsomest gilded irames that Can be procured.
The card reads thus:
"Mr. Boll abd : We the undersigned, repre
senting a laiee majority of the ladies of Rich
mond, feel that our thanks are due you for the
aDte manner in wucn you desert bed the loyal
hops at the Spottowood and Ballard Hotels, aud
in especial do we thank you lor designating the
ladies of Richmond who were present." Such
was u.e annoyance ana sucn tne in
sults to which the "desienated" ladies
weie subject to in consequence of these
arucies, mat tney were compeiiea to aa
dress a note to (ieneral Terry asking his pro
tection, and expressing a desire to continue their
hitherto agreeable social relations with the
Union men of the city, if they can be protected
from the insults and annoyance suggested. It
was upon thorough examination of the article in
the Examiner, and due consideration of their
banelul eilect in stirring up and keeping alive
nairea Between tuo peopio 01 tuenmona wno
reprctent the North and those of theSouth, that
General Terry issued the order suppressing the
paper.
As has been previously stated. Mr. Pollard
came to Washington, sought the President,
bei gcd that the order be revoked, and wai
referred to General Grant. Upon calling to see
the latter, Pollaid was requested to put his
application in writing, rne substance or this
we have already given. The following; Is a copy
of General Grant's reply, Indorsed on the back
oi tne application:
Eeplv to Application of H. Rives PoUard. Praxh
inq a evocation of the Order Suppressing the
"Jiichmona JLxammer." The course of the Ex
aminer in every number which I have seen, has
been such as to foster and increase the ill feeling
towards the Government of the United (states by
the discontented portion ot the Southern people.
1 benere it De lor tne best interests or the
whole people, North and South, to suppress such
utterances wherever the power exists to do so.
The power certainly does exist when martial
law prevails, and will be exercised. Reluctant
as 1 was to pursue this course, I have fait it my
duty to pursue it in this inttance; and as much
as I dislike to interfere with the interests ot in
dividuals, I would deem it Improper and mis
chievous in tendency to revoke the order lor the
suppression of the Richmond Examiner at this
time. (Bianed) U. 8. Gbint. Lt-General.
Upen recelviug this reply. Pollard imme
diately repaired to the Ebbitt House, and thence
addressed a note to the President, dated Fe
bruary 17. The note Is in the nature ot a nlodere.
and runs thus: "If tho publication ot fho E -aminer
shall be permitted, I solemnly pledge
my honor that it shall be devoted to the
support ot tne union, tue uonsfitution, and tbe
laws, and that lournal will continue heartily to
suDDort the President's nolicv."
Mr. Pollard called again on Mr. Johnson and
presented the note, accompanying it with the
most positive asseverations or good and loyal pur
poses in the future. The President directed that
Pollard be permtrted. upon the promises el yen.
to resume the publication of the Examiner. Your
Richmond correspondent this evening sends a
despatch stating that Pollard announces by tele-
f rara from tuts city fiat ne win resume pubuca
ion of the Examiner on Wednesday next.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
For Additional Legal Intelligence tee First Fags
ScrBEMi Court or Pinnrtxvania Chief Jus
tice Woodward and Justices Read and Agnew.
Opinims were read In the following cases thit
morning by Agnew, J : Louisa Hunt vs. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Certificate
from MM Prius. We agree with oor brother
who tried th a cause at Nisi Prius that the true
Interpretation of the contract between the
Rallioad company and Allison, tho contractor,
d d sot make the company liable for the man
ner m which he performed his work. The word
".nstructiona" used In the agreement referred to
the kind of structure, design, materials, combi
nations, and all matters pertaining to the plan
ning of the buildlna to be erected. But as to
the mode of accomplishing the work which the
contractor undertook:, ne was leu to nta own
skill and judgment, liis contract as to do
tbe woik in a substantial and workmanlike
manner, and he was bound, therefore, to brlnar
to its execution the degree of skill and care
nreiatary to perform his covenant.
We may also remark upon tne contract, m
bearing upon the other question, tnat the per
sons cmj loved npun the work were necessarily
to be hired by the contractor, wno undertook:
the whole. By Its terniR the Company were to
te involved in the work or employment of
hands only if, upon his failure, they availed
themselves of tbe option given by the azreetnent
to treat his contract a lonettea, ao tne work-,
and charge him with the cost. ro tbe decla
ration aveired, and tt was materia1, to prove,
that the deceased was etnnloved bv the Com
pany, tor the gravamen alleged was the duty to
piOMile sound material aud skilful persons
In tbe erection of the building, and tiieir
neglect In this respect cainina tin injury aril
death ol the deceased. But there was not- i
spark of proof of his employment by them,
yvhilo eidence showed t' attdii work of setting
up the iron rafters. bich fell and caused his
injury, was done by Allison, the contractor.
Now this fact, coimled with tho contract which
reon red this work to be dono by luai, le't no
doubt that the deceased wa9 employed by him
But it is suflicieut to say the burthen of the oroof
to chow I. is employment bv tbe Company de
volved on the plaint i fl, and she gave no evidence
Of u. . . i
Ihls brines us to the chief point in the argu
ment oi the plaintitl In error, that the Company
wa bound to furnish round materials, aud a
suitiible and sale plan of constructing tnu sup
port of the raiters,. and that their tall afforded a
presumption that cither the materials or the
dcs'pn of the ftructure was Insullicieut to sup-
tort the ponderous Iron rafters, when hoisted
upon ther columns. Upon this assumption of
the laet, tne juoge.it is r-ata, was askeatoin
itruct the lnrv that the company was answer
able for negligence. This has two answers. It
was most distinctly proved bv the plaintiff, and
without conflict of evidence, that the falling of
tbe rafters was owns to their not beiug pi on -riv
braced when hoisted. There was not a tntle
of evidence to bow that either the materials
or the supporting structure was at tault.
The next answer is, that the po.n s did not
call on the Judee to insttuc. upon the
inlcrence as to materials and structure, but that
the faluncr was proof ot negligence and unsKi'-
fulness on the part ot the person performing the
woik; and that they must account lor tue tail
ing by proof ot some cause not arising in negli
gence or fault ol the performance of it. The
points, therefore. inolved The character of Alli
son, the contractor, and bis mode it performing
the work, and are founded on the idea tnat both
he and tbe deceased wer emploves under the
pame principal. But here the proof wholly
tailed, lor the plaintiff nad not proved that Alli
son and the deceased weie employed under the
de'endHnts as a common principal; while the
defendants bad sbown that Allison was a con
tractor, rot a mere ea ploe, and that the de
ceased, if employed by cither, must have been
emrhned bv AlliFon.
Tbe learned Judge refucei the plaintiff s points
in view ot the tacts, aud in tms ne aid not err.
I am not aware that it was ever held in any case
thai one who employs a contractor to erect a
building, or to do any other mechanical work,
becomes a guarantor to all the employe? of the
contractor for his skill and care in performing
tbe work, in sucn a cae the contractor is tha
firincipal of the persons whom he employs, aud
1 his character for skiltulness and carefulness
is to be ascertained, it is tor tho-e he employs
to ii quiie into it These vnws render the other
assignments ot error ot no consequence. Judg
ment anirmed.

A Row of Building 9 Falling Tn
Families Rendered Houseless. A row of
bouies situated on Marshall street, belo Ox
ford, have been in an u.isate condition for some
time past, owing to the toandatloas settling.
This morning about 10 o'clock the back wall of
one of these dwelliucs fell to tho ground: the
house is No. 1521 Marshall street, and the lower
part of the rear building is entirely down, ana
the side walls are at the present time out of the
perpenaieuiar.
A family named Farr occupy the dwelling.
and thev have been obl'ced to vacate the premi
ses. Mrs. Farr was sick in bed at the time of
the occurrence, and had to be carried out of the
house. Water is working its way into the collar
of hruse No. 15S3, and there are indications that
the rear will fall in. This house is occupied by
Mr. James Nollen, who has been obliged to re
move his family and furniture. Mo. 1536, occu-
I nied bv Mr. Sri ear. is in a similar condition.
C Watni. la 1auf Anh rinir tha nnllar and t)lA front
wall Is leaning badly. All these families have
been compelled to remain, and there is mo
mentary danger of the houses falling down.
Mr. Nol'en. who occupies No. 1633. notitiel his
landlord several davs since ol the dangerous
condition of these dwellings, but no acti m was
taken to avert what bids fair to be a serious
calamity. Members ol the families montioned
are scattered around the neighborhood, having
been furnished with temporary homes by the
neighbors,
A IIonaE Transaction. A man named
John Taylor has been swindling another man.
Taylor belongs to Miillin com ty, and owned a
norso. Bald horse was blind in one eve, and
was otherwise deficient in qualities pertaining
to a desirable Bucephalus, lavior, nowever,
sold this comparatively worthless quadruped to
another man at a vert high price, the purchaser
acting under the belie! that he was buying a
sound charper. Fr r this deception Al lerman
Allen held the seller to bail.
A Cask of Fobgkbt. William Krout, a
young man who resides in Germantowu, and is
employed by Frederick C. Newhall Sc. Co., ha
been arrested on the oharge of f.irgery. Krout,
it is alleged, forged tho name of Mr. Newhall on
an order lor a quan'ity of clothing, aald order
tieiiLf drawn on Mr. Abraham Buckles, lie alio
signed Mr Newhall's name to n order for a pair
of boots, on a Mr. Arnold. Krout was taken
belore Aid. Thomas, who, after hearing all the
circumstances connected witn the ease, held
him to ancwer in the sum of f 3500.
