Onr Standard Dearer.
The Convention which met la Ilarrisbarg
yesterday was characterized by a harmony ot
sentiment and a unity of purposo which
proved the utter fallacy of the rumored divi
sions in the ranks, and sets at rest all Demo
cratic falsehoods to the effect that the days of
the National Union party were numbered.
Although each member of that body had his
personal preferences lor a certain candidate,
yet the moment tuat General John W.
Geauy was nominated all djflfcrences of opi
nion ceased, and the hearty choers which
ehook the Capitol to its base attested that the
choice of the Convention was the choice o
the people. Nor is there any reason why a
single dissenting voico should be heard, from
the highest to the lowest member oi the Union
party. The porsonal character and political
record of the gallant soldier who is to lead
our columns through the coming campaign,
and for whose head is reserved the laurel
crown of victory, is such as to win the ad
miration of all who admire purity, courage,
and consistency in public lifo. There could
have been no man selected to whom there
could be less objection, and in whoso praise
more could be said. Among the first to repu
diate a doctrine calculated to iorce human
slavery on a people desiring to be free, he
displayed while a member of the Demo
ratic party that utter absence of selfishness
and stern devotion to duty which has
ever characterized his course both as a sol
dier and a citizen. Undeterred by the cer
tain knowledge that, should he declare his
anti-Lecompton sentiments, his ofllclal posi
tion would be forfeited, ho boldly protested
against the policy tnat would outrage a com
munity, and ceasud to bo an officer ot Bu
chanan's Administration on that account
"On his return," said the Hon. John Covode,
in his speech before the Convention, "he said
to me, 'We will have to flght for the cause o'"
freedom, and I will be among the first to arm
in its defense.' " And faithfully did he keep
his word. Throughout the whole struggle there
is no name on which there is less tarnish than
that of General Geaby. Ever, with his
brigade, never among the loiterers whose
presence indicated the approach of battle, his
bitterest enemy cannot point to one instance
1n which be shirked bto duty, or failed in its
discharge. Courageous, manly, and uncom
promising in his steadfast adherence to princi
ple, he has attested the fact that when once
Jpns W. Geaby gives his word, there need
be no necessity ot tearing aught but its rigid
performance. When, therefore, he said last
night, "I pledge myself to 6tand by the plat
form, and declare my unequivocal belief that
qual justice and protection should bo meted
out to all," we need have no dread lest the
"w iles of the enemy will induce him to deviate
from bis words.
The campaign which opens to-day has all
its issues fairly and squarely stated, all its
principles enunciated, and each party has
chosen a representative man. lion. LTiesteb
Clymek, of Berks county, is as good a De
mocrat as the party could have selected. With
him there has never been equivocation or de
ccit He has boldly opposed every measure
tending to aid the suppression of the Rebellion
he has opposed appropriation after appropri
ation for war purposes; he has consistently
opposed the extension of suffrage to soldiers ;
and it was he and Mr. Wallace who made
the bitterest speeches against Andrew John
son in 18C3. lie has made his bed, and
does not fear to lie. in it. General Geaby
is also a brave and open declarer of his views.
Too much engaged in conquering the foe
and asserting bis doctrines by his acts to
pause and make known his principles by
well-rounded periods, he has, nevertheless
ever shown his hand when necessity de
manded. The strongest argument that a
nan could use on the side ot true loyalty is
to flght and risk his life for it; and we bail
the action ol General Geaby as a lar better
exponent of his sentiments than could have
been furnished In a Ciceronian oration or a
cold, brilliant scintillation, which echoes the
hollow notes ol insincerity.
We, therefore, for every reason possible, en
dorse the unanimous nomination of General
Geaby, and beneath his lead there can be no
question but that victory will be ours. The
soldiers that vast body of 350,000 citizens
who exert an almost omnipotent influence
will come up solid under the lead of their
comrade and loader. What might have been
the prospects of a division ol their votes had
a less obnoxious Democrat have been selected,
we know not; but the choice of Mr. Clymeb
has placed our veterans In the position either
of opposing a fellow-warrior and favoring a
man who has ever maligned their motives
and traduced their deeds, or else of lending
their votes and Influence in favor of a friend
and leader, and In antagonism to their con
sistent enemy. On which side all of them
will go, docs not admit of argument We,
thereiore, calmly looking at the prospects
of the campaign, predict for the Union
party the most complete and glorious triumph
which has ever been achieved In our State.
Every county will swell the torrent, until the
majority la favor of Geaby and Union will
be Increased to a size which will strike terror
to our foe, and even surprise our friends. All
ih'ngs look bright; let us gird on our armor,
and beneath our standard bearer's lead, fight
without ceasing until the enemy is routed,
and our gallant soldier-citizen made Pennsyl
vania's Governor.
The Law as to Common Carriers?
A case of considerable Interest to shippers of
freight was recently argued before the Su
preme Court of this State, at Msl Trias. It
appears that a firm la this city delivered to
the Camden and Amboy Eallroad Company,
in July, 1804, twenty-four bales of goods,
weighing 3220 pounds, and valued at $0778 24,
to ba transported to New fork, snd delivered
to a consignee ot tho firm In that city. While
yet In tho posiesslon of the railway company,
on their wharf In New York, and before
plaintiffs had nutlce of their arrival, or op
portunity to remove thorn, the goods were de
stroyed by Are. The plaintiffs claim the full
value of the goods, with interest, from the
defendants. The latter deny that they are
responsible for the goods, except to the extent
of $100 per 100 pounds, and base that denial
on the fact that on the day the goods were
delivered to them for transportation there was
placed In a conspicuous position, in their re
ceiving offices at New York, Camden, and
Intervening points, a notice of which the
following Is a copy :
"JsimcK.'Jle.onsibitily of the Company as
Carriers limited to $100 per 100 poun'Js. The
(.'anirlcn and Ambov Rum-oad ana Transporta
tion Compnny horcbv give notice, in pursuance of
law, tint tlie.v have limited, and do hereby limit,
their responsibility us carrier? of goods so as not
to exceed one hundred dollars tor every one
hundred pounds we if; lit thereof, and at thai rate
for a preHter or lent quantity; but will insure
poods, II desired, at the rate ot eight cents per
ton per mi':e for the distance carried, lor every
two hundred dollars insured on one hundred
pounds ot poods, and at tnat, rate for a ereater
or less quantity. Goods carried from New York
to Philadelphia, or lrom Philadelphia to New
York, will be Insured, if desired, at the rat? of
sixteen cents lor every one Hundred dollars
insured." '
The case, as thus stated, involves the right
of a common carrier to limit his liability.
That liability, under the common law of Eng
land and of this country, regards him as in
the nature of an insurer, and makes him
answerable for all losses which do Lot fall
within the excepted cases of tho act of God
(meaning inevitable accident, without tho
intervention of man) and public enemies.
This settled rule, wo are told by tho highest
legal authorities, is intended to guard against
fraud and collusion, and is founded on the
same broad principles of public policy and
convenience wl.lch govern the case of inn
keepers. Chancellor Kknt says : "Common
carriers undertake generally, and not as a
casual occupation, and for all people Indiffer
ently, to carry goods and deliver them at
places appointed, lor hire as a business, and
with or without a special agreement a9 to
price. Ab they hold themselves to the world
as common carriers for a reasonable compen
sation, they assume to do and are bound to
do what is required of them in the course of
their employment, if they have the requisite
convenience to carry, and are offered a rea
sonable or customary price."
It Is this general liability which common
carriers in this country and elsewhere have
been trying to limit, by notice in their bills
of lading and otherwise that they will be re
sponsible for injury to or total loss of freight
only to a certain extent, and on certain con
ditions which they alone choose to prescribe.
Whetber they have or should have the right
to do this, is not yet determined by uniform
judicial decision, though in view ef the great
commercial irtercsts involved, the law on
this point should not be allowed to remain
uncertain ard conflicting. Those cases which
have, however slightly and cautiously, recog
nized the doctrine that the common carrier
may limft his general responsibility, are
clearly encroachments on the common law
rule, and transgressive of the sound reasons
of public policy on which it was founded; and
the courts should, as speedily as possible, re
trace the steps they have taken in a wrong
direction, and establish, firmly and positively,
the just and wholesome principle from which
they have departed.
The English judges are said to have thought
that the doctrine of exempting carriers from
liability by notice has been carried too far,
and its introduction into Westminster Hall
has been much lamented; and the late Chief
Justice Gibson, In a case decided by him in
our own Supremo Court,questioncd the policy1
of the new rule that the carrier may lessen his
common law responsibility by a special agree
ment, and held that exceptions to tho common
rule were to be strictly construed. It would
seem to bo in conformity with this view of
Judge Gibson that both English and
American Courts have held that a
canicr cannot restrict his common law
liability by a general notice, such as that
above quoted, even though that notice be
brought home to the knowledge of the ship
per, and that the restriction can only be by
eatress contract. This rule makes it optional
with the shipper whether he will surrender
his own common law rights, and release the
carrier from bis common law obligations, and
accept other conditions by private and spe
cial agreement. This, at least, protects the
public, and confines the effect of any relaxa
tion of the common law rula to those particu
lar individuals who may choose to waive it by
express contract.
But even this practice Is bad in its tendency,
and often, if not always, a means ot imposing
unfairly on the shippers of freight. Rather
than fall In a shipment that cannot be delayed
without serious loss, and incur the expense
and annoyance of litigation with a railway
corporation for the violation of Its common
law obligations and liabilities, a merchant or
other citizen will accede to gross abridgment
of his legal lights; and in this way the
liberties of the people and the salu
tary regulations of public policy are
gradually, . but . . In the end fatally,
aggressed pon and subverted. Safety for
all lies only in strict and universal judicial
adherence to the original and fundamental
doctrine tl at common carriers are In the
nature of insurers, and bound to perform the
office or business they undertake for the
public, without limitation, at their own dis
cretion, of their freely assumed , duties and
engagements, tinder tbe common law of the
land. If this principle was but once harmo
niously and conclusively settled Judicially,
Justice would be secured to all concerned,
vexatious litigation avoldod, and the luterests
of commerce preserved and promoted.
A Proper Law. A bill has been Intro
duced into the Legislature by James N.
Marks, Esq., lor the proper distribution of the
city finances. The changes It proposes to
make are needed, but rad'cal. It is well
known that at present a certain tax Is levied
by the city on all property holders for tho
purpose of securing funds for public purposes.
Each item for which such taxes are levied is
distinctly strted for school purposes, so
much ; for highways, so much ; and after sum
ming up, a total is arrived at which Is the
basis of the tax. While each Item is thus
asked for for a specific purpose, yet when tho
sum Is received It is not appropriated for the
aim for which It was collected. Thus 58 cents on
every hundred dollars is levied for the common
school system, yet when, as it Irequently hap
pens, the expenses of the system only amount
to 40 cents, the remainder Is applied to meet
ing some other demand, and the same exor
bitant assessment made the next year. In
fact, after having been asked for and received
for a certain specific purpose, the money is
applied to something else. Custom has legal
ized this arrangement, which, if viewed with
out prejudice, may be denominated a popular
fraud.
The new law Is intended to remedy this
evil. Under its provisions each tax collected
for a depaitment is laid aside for the use of
that department only. Although the bill docs
not extend as yet to' each branch of the
municipality, yet the system is inaugurated,
which cannot but become general in course of
time. The lav makes it apply to schools
orly. Under it, when a surplus is collected,
it is to be deposited in a separate account of
the Treasury, and niado payablo to the order
of the Board of School Controllers. There
suit will be, that as soon as a teacher's war
rant is presented, instead of his being obliged
to wait for days or weeks, or else be shaved by
a broker, he can have his demand , cashed at
once, when countersigned by the President of
the Board. Such a plan is an improvement
over the present system. It is an act of
justice to the people who pay so much per
cent, to support tbe cause of education, and
have a right to demand that their money is
applied to that specific purpose ; ani it is also
an act of justice to the teachers, who are now
compelled to wait for what is justly their own,
or submit to the imposition of losing from ten
to fifteen per cent, of their already too small
pay.
