Agricultural Fairs.
The columns of our exchanges are
with reports of thevroceinlings of Agricultu-'
ral Exhibitions throughout the country. State
Fairs are being held in every ;E' orthem State,
and county fairs in nearly every! important
agricultural county. - Wherever • the weather
has been favorable tberhave been remarkably,
well attended. The State :Fair of Missouri,
held at St: boors, pas_ perhaps been moro suc
cessful than any, other. One reason of this
probably is, that the State 'Fair of Missouri is
always held in St. "Louis, ;and a large sum has
been expended in the 'erection of appropriate
buildings and in preparing proper grounds--
an expense Which no partici would have un
dertaken it the locality of the Fair Was chang
ed every year. The fair grounds contain an
amphitheatre, which it is said will shelter
80,000 people from the rain.
The St. Lobis Fair assumed a really national
character, and it was not only attended by
visitors from every section of the Union, but
italiberal premiums attracted some of the best
stock from every quarter of the Confederacy.
The display in every department of agriculture
was of a highly creditable character, end the
scene upon the ' grounds appears, to have
excited alt the attractions of the trotting
course and the hippodrome—for not only 'did
Flora Temple compete with trotters almost
equal to herself, but lady equestrians, some on
blooded horses and some on mustang 'ponies,
contended for prizes for superior skill in
managing their!steeds, and the last day closed
with a grand race of - ponies mounted by boys.
Among the entries of this fair were twenty-siX
thorough-bred ,stallions. Over $20,000 in
premiums were offered by the society, several
of which were of ,$l,OOO each to 'superior
horses and rattle. •

The question now arises, whether the
Democratic masses of Pennsylvania are will
ing to indulge the Administration of JAMES
BUOIZANAIf in another expirtment ? Whether
that Administration shall be permitted to
rush our groat organization upon another
(awl a Presidential) defeat ? Whetlior 1860
is to be trade• the scene of another
catastrophe, : simply and only to gratify
the peMonat animosities of the Prost.
dent, and to sustain" 'cruel and unrelenting
proscriptions upon those' public men who have'
refused to abandon the old-fashiondd creed of
the Democratic party?
We know that we speak the Sentiments of
the Slep t ' ights Democracy of this great Com
thrirreilih %Shen we 'declare that," resolute as
they are in the maintenance of the prin'ciples
of •the' Democratic party, and' determined
never to support any candidate who is
not entirely . committed to these prin
ciples,
lthey are ready now, as they
have always been, to support all honest
candidates who are not the mere representa
tives of men in office, and not the mere as
signees of the hatreds and prejudices of re
creant public servants.
So ends the third lesson. It depends upon
the Democratic masses of Pennsylvania what
the fourth lesson shall be.
Mr. Ward, American Minister In
The New York Times of yesterday pub
lishes a letter from Mr. WARD, American inl.,
nister' to' China, in which ho gives a graphic
description of the late battle. Ho concludes
thus:
"As soon as the first gun was fired, I felt that if
the English were unsuccessful, I could have little
hope of further negotiation with the Chinese; yet,
as I would do everything in my power for the fulfil=
ment of my mission, I determined to make the of
and as soon as ,possible I sent a letter to the
Governor-General of this province, who was said to
be somewhere on the coast, about ten miles from
the fOrts.. Yesterday I despatched my brother,
with the interpreters, in search of the place and
the man. They left this anchorage in the Toey
wan about Il o'clock A. kr., carrying my letter,
in which I Informed the Governor-General that
I was here under the treaty. and by the invitation
of the Comptissioners at Shanghae; that I was
charged with en autograph letter from the Presi
dent of the United States to his Majesty the Em
peror, and asked him to provide me with
means of conveyance to Pekin. The Toey-wan
returned at 8 P. M., and my brother, tells me that
after going northwest along the coast, about ten
miles from this anchorage, they' discovered an in
let near a village ' which was strongly fortified.
The,Toey-wan Could not approaoh nearer than
miles in consequence of the shallowness of the
water. My brother, Mr. Martin, the interpreter,
and Mr, Merchant; a midshipman; went ashore
in the boat of the Toeir-wan, At the approach of
the boat the villagers began to fiy. They succeeded,
however, in holding communication with two of
the Chinese, who stated that the Governor-General
had gone over to the forte at the mouth of the Pei
ho, and said they would deliver Gm letter to him.
These men said they bad never heard of the United
States of America, and warned the party that they
bad better return to their boat, as a large body of
cavalry had been sent for, who were Tartar sot
diem, and recognised ne distinetions among foreign
barbarians. While they were conversing with the
'Oldness - a large body of cavalry, well mounted,
actually appeared in sight, rapidly advancing to
wards them, and, as they returned to their boat,
followed them to the water's edge."
The steamer Indian brings a report, said to
have been received at St. Petersburg, that Mr,
WARD had arrived at Pekin, but WWI kept in
confinement as a prisoner. If this intelligence
proves to be correct, our country will no
doubt bedome a party to the war against China,
in which France and 'England aro now engaged.

follows:
Census of 1700
" 1800
" 1810
"- 1820
" ' 1830
" 1840
1880 .
Tho Brat two were Ihnited to ,an camera
ton of inhabitants. It was not until the
third census that any attempt was made at col
lecting the statistics of industry. On May
1810, the marshals were directed to make re-,
turn of the several manufacturing estahlisb
monis within their districts and their products.
,The first report stated the value of the articles
manufactured in the United States at $127,-
694,602, but as several important articles were
omitted, the acting Secretary of the Treasury
extended this amount by estimate to $172,-
762,676. Singular to relate, the next census,
19 1820, reported the gross annual amount of
manufactures in the United, States at only
$36,115,000, and the capital employed at
$41,607,000. Though Manufactures without
doubt greatly declined after the peace of 1815,
these returns were :palpably erroneous. Whole
counties in which there were manufacturing
establishments did not report.
For the compilation of the census of 1860
unusual preparations were made. A special
law was passed removing the superintendence
from the Department of State to that of tho
Interior, and establishing a Census Board.
Over 8,000 reams of paper, weighing over
100 tone, Were consumed in printing schedules,
and the returns make nearly 800 volumes.
The cost exceeded two millions of dollars.
Limiting onr investigations as to, its probable
accuracy to the statistics of manufactures, we
first turn to the following totals
Capital invested (in round numbers) $530,000,000
Value of raw material 550,000,000
Amount paid for labor 240,000,000
Value of manufactured articles 1,020,300,000
Number of persons employed 1,050,000
Of the accuracy of such aggregates one can
form no opinion, except by an examination of
particulars. Turning to Philadelphia, we find
the capital invested in manufacture stated at
$33,737,911; hands employed, 59,106 ; and ag
gregate product for 1850, $64,114,112. Turn
ing to the marshal's report for the city of New
York, we find that the capital employed is
only $494,911 more than that of Philadelphia,
while the gross product amounts to more than
one' hundred millions of dollars. Why this
ditlerence ? Why should Philadelphia, it has
been repeatedly asked, with a capital invested
In manufactures nearly equal to that of New
York, fall short in the value of her product
nearly fifty per cent.? Who believes that
there was any such disparity in feet We
find that the gross product of all the establish
ments In Pennsylvania, including her iron
works, tanneries, glassworks, etc., east and
west of the Alleghenies, stated at $165,044,910,
while, seven years later, it his been demon
strated Philadelphia and vicinity produced
over one hundred and seventy millions of dol
lars, or an amount larger than the cotton crop
of the whole South., Descending more mi.
nutely into particulars, we find by the abstract
recently published that, there were but three
locomotive building establishments in the
United States ill 1850. We can enumerate
Baldwin's and Norris's, of Philadelphia; Wi
nans', of Baltimore; Amoakeag locomotive
works, Taunton . 'locomotive works; Schenec
tady loconiotive works, Boston locomotive
works; and, we presume, there were a half
dozen others in various parts of the country.
Again, it is stated there aro four fire-brick
manufactories, producing $12,009. Philadel
phia alone has half a dozen, producing five
times as much. Of manufacturers of gas me
ters, the census informs us there were but two
in the whale Union, whose gross annual pro
duct amounted to $4,100 precisely. Phila
delphia alone has five, ono of whom lies.pro
ducca over one hundred thousanl meters, wet
and dry. x woo, diace °nines. We may infer
from these comparatively small matters what
gigantic errors are concealed In the gigantic
totals of the leading articles.
To detail all the circumstances which, com
bined, have contributed to produce this unfor
tunate result, would transcend our limits. It is
obvious that a man maybe quite competent to
make an enumeration of the inhabitants within
a given district, and yet be wholly incompe
tent to report accurately on the articles
manufactured. Statists possessing unwearied
diligence and exhaustless patience and a
wide range of practical knowledge will find
exorcise for all these qualifications in this
pursuit—ail others must inevitably fail.
Again, by referenee to the law, we find
that the compensation allowed for taking a vast
number of particulars, even from the largoat ,
manufacturing establishment—a labor in
volving almost always frequent calls, and some
times consuming a considerable portion of a
week's tiine—is only fifteen cents. This. is
obviously too little, and additional legisla
tion is necessary to secure even an approxi
mation to accuracy in the statistics of the
principal manufacturing centres.
Before the elms° of the next year another
census shall have been taken. The world will
scrutinize its results. Within the present do
! cade our country ham made unusual and
astonishing strides In progress, and our manu
facturers aro rapidly assuming, by their own
unaided exertions, an enviably independent
position. Let tome one of our statesmen,
thou, give the subject his especial attention,
I and let our legislators co-operate in (taming,
so far as within the scope and power of legis
lation, accuracy in the returns and prompt.
ness in their publication.
Statistics aro now made to servo the Pur
poses of history, and the deductions of social
science, aumprm, the most recent, and pro
bably the moat philosophical of historians,
professes to see a regularity in the entire
moral conduct of a given society, and ho re
lies on statistical records as the main proof of
his theory. lle affirms, rather too confidently,
we believe, that more may ho learned flom

!
barities of individuals. The number of sui
cides in London Is shown to be about two
hundred and forty persons every year. Sta.
Miens hold that the number of marriages an
nually contracted is determined. - not by the
temper and wishes of individuals, but by the
conditions of society in which they live, and
the circumstances surrounding them. The
poets may sing AWN , marriages made in
Ileavon, but the atatician thinks that the
number of them bear a fixed and definite re
lation not to celestial influences, but to the
price of corn; while Duman says that, in
England, they aro simply regulated by the
average earnings of the great mass of the
people. These speculations are, however,
somewhat aside from our purpose. We have
mentioned the fact that statistics are now
taken as a basis by historians and others for
the deduction of those general laws which

Purchase of Mount Vernon—Another
$lO,OOO Paid.
The onward progress of the Mount Verron La
dies' Association is truly gratifying, and when yes
terday we published a most Interesting letter from
a Washington correspondent who has lately visited
Mount Vernon, we hardly expected so soon to re
cord another payment to Mr. Washington of ten
thousand dollars upon the purchase money, which
was made him a few days since by Mr. Riggs, the
Treasurer, per order of the Regent, Miss A. P.
Cunningham.
We cannot refrain from repeating what has
often been stated. In the columns of The Peter, how
largely our oenntry is indebted to this lady—tbe
originator anti head of this petriotio movement—
for the consummate ability she has shown in the
details of the manegement of this enterprise,huld
to 4fr. Everett for ids generous so-operation,
which have crowned it with such complete success.
Among the powers end inpences brought to
aid the work of the Association, we roust, by an
means, overlook the Mount Vernon Record, seve
ral numbers of which, of second volume, are now
before ns, which`we mist apologise for not having
previously notioed, containing, as they do, so much
valuable and useful information. Too mash may
not be said in favor of the well-conceived plan, and
serviceable mission of, this little sheet. The pub-
Mention of State Vice Regents' appeals, Committee
and Lady Managers' reports, and various other
matters connected with the enterprise, besides its
compact lists of the names of trubsitribers to the fond
from every State and county of the Union, where
ever the organization has extended its influence,
the Record Was Writ) abroad n better knowledge
of the workings of the ASSOOI62Iqh than could have
been accomplished in any other way, azai ve ven
ture to assert—what the Association seems well to
have understood—that the Mount Vernon Estate
hes been gained a twelvemonth earlier by the tell
ing influences of its well-edited organ.
By reference to the first weber (Jnly, 181.$,)

Mrs. Dickinson, of North Carolina; Mrs, Morse, of
Louisiana; Mrs. Lo Vert, of Alabama ; Mrs. Mc.
Willie, of Mississippi, and Mrs. Fogg, of Tennessee;
all acting in concert sod with energy for Mount
Vernon, The first payment then made to Mr.
Washington was $lB.OOO, and after a lapse of a
little over fifteen to enthy he has been put in posses
sion of more than $lBO,OOO, and thp Association is
still spreading its influence at every wrint nf the
compass. During this Interregnum, North, East,
and West have come in nobly to the work, and
tkere now remain but two States unrepresented in

Another Answer to the Black Panto
„ pilot
A resent npmlier of the Louisville Democrat,
Contains a reply to tho rr Black Pamphlet,”
which is said tolfave been written by one of
the ableathiuir,ers in Kentucky, and - which cer
tasiuly beam ` upon Its face clear evidtmee of tie
,'ability - of the' writer: One by One the rnierepre
seatatlons of Judge BLACK are taken up and
disposed of in a conclusive manner. We re
gret ; that we have not space for the whole of
this 'article. The .concluding portion of it,
however, we append below. It fully exposes
abetuditY of the legal position upon which
Judge itt. , tatc proposes to rest the Administra
tion policy :
"Lot us now examine the theory which this wri
ter asks ue, to adopt instead or that of Mr. Don
glad, lie (the author of the pamphlet) bases the
right to take sloven to the Territories, not upon
any provisions of the Constitution, but upon prin
ciples of international law. .lie says:
' It is an axiomatic principle of public law that
a right of property, a private relation, condition,
or status, lawfully existing in ono State or coun
try, is no t changed by the mere removal of the par
ties to another country, unless the law of the other
country be in direct conflict with it. * *
* * It is precisely so with the storms of a
negro carried from one part of the United States to
another, The question of his freedom or servi
tude depends on the law of the place where he
name from, and depends on that alone, if there be
no conflicting law at the place to which he goes or
is taken.'
" To this extent the writer and Mr. Douglas
agree ; but they differ widely concerning the
power of the Territorial Governments to make lawn
conflicting with the rights of persons moving to the
Territories. The author of the pamphlet, while
ha concedes that the right to a clays, like the
right to any other property, depends upon local
law, and not upon the Constitution, nor upon any
general law, contends that the Territorial Govern
ments, being merely temporary and provisional,
can have no attribute of sovereignty, even with
reference to their local affairs, and compass no law
concerning slavery in tho Territories; that the
loonl law, governing the right to a slave in a
Territory, is the law of tho State from which the
master moves and that the master's rights must
remain, Rafted by the laws of bisproviouedomioile,
until the Territory becomes a State. Thus he
says :
With° Constitution] neither frees the slave
nor enslaves the freeman. It requires both to re
main in static quo until the status already im
pressed upon them by the law of their previous
domicil° shall bo'changed by some competent local
authority, * * A slave, being property in
Virginia, remain!. property ; and his master has all
the rights of a Virginia master wherever he may
• go, so that he go not to any piano whore the local
law comes in conflict with his right.' -
"And then* he denies the power of a Territorial
Government to enact any such conflicting law, or
in any manner to change the seams of the slave
an lived by the law of the master's previous do
micile.
" In order to illustrate the relative positions of
this writer and Mr. Delights, lot us suppose that a
citizen of Texas, by the law of that State, may
compel his slave to work every day in the week,
and that ho should talcs his slave to a Territory.
According to Mr. Douglas, the Territorial Govern
ment could lawfully forbid him from compelling
his slave lo work on Sunday ; according to this
writer, it could not do so, because the status of '
the slave and the master's rights are fixed by the
Texan law, and can't be changed till the Territory
become a Stain. The public law, to which this
writer appeals, sustains Mr. Douglas' position.
Here Is a principle of that law, as well established
as the one cited in this pamphlet :
"'Whatever force and obligation the laws of one
country have in another, depends solely upon the
laws and municipal regulations of the latter; that
is to say, upon Its own proper jurisprudence end
polity, and upon its own express or tacit consent.'
' Observe, the author of the pamphlet concedes
that the Constitution does not give us the right to
carry slaves into the Territories; he even com
plains of Mr. Douglas for asserting that anybody
aver said that it does ; he bases the right solely
upon the principles of International law. Now if,
as he RSSumeS and assorts, that law governs the re
lations and intercourse between States and Terri
tories of the Union, with reference to slavery, then
it is clear that we cannot introduce slavery into a
Territory except with the express or tacit consent
of the Territorial Government ; and that we must
depend for protection upon Its laws and regulations.
and not, as this writer contends, upon the lawe of
our previous domicile. Thus it is seen that Mr.
Douglas' theory of popular sovereignty is sustained
by that law which governs the intercourse of civi
lised nations, as well as by those principles which
our forefathers insisted upon as governing the re
lations between Great Britain and her colonies.
"Lot us glance at tho consequences of the novel
theory advanced by the author of tho pamphlet.
Ho is not in favor of Congressional intervention.
According to his theory, there should be no legis
lation, either by Congress or the Territorial Ise
gi.slature either protecting or coif s with the
right to ;laves or other property. Then, by tohat
law are the people of the Territories to be go
verned and protected? By the common law ,
If by the roc o co,, lair, is it the rommon law as
understood in England, or in Massachusetts, or
in Kentucky? Ire most do this writer the jos
tics to say that there it one absurdity which he
lute contrived to avoid—viz : the doctrine that
the common law extends itself, proprio a spore,
to the Territories, or is tarried there by the
Federal Constitution. lie probably blows
that It 15,,, been held by the Supreme Court
that the United States, as a Federal Go
vernment, have no common law ; and that
Congress, tinder its limited powers, cannot
male the amnion law dm law of the United
States, But even if the common law Inc., the
law of 'the Federal Government, it timid ( ' not
thereby berme applicable to the loral communi
ties in the Territories. The common law was the
law . of England, but it did net extend itself to her
colonies. Bad it done so, it would have prohibited
slavery in the colAnies. as it does in England. 77e
common law tea local institution—as much so
as the statutory law of England, or of any other
colattr-ande.ristsnowheree.reept by theadoption
of local communities. One of the colonies (South
' Carolina) adopted the custom§ of London. nob
• of the others adopted so much of the common law
of England. All, perhaps, rejected its anti-slavery
doctrines. Other portions of it, which were adapt
ed by some, were rejected by others. Thus the
common law differed In the various cetera,. just as
it does now in the States. Such of the English sta
tutes es suited the colonies took effect therein ' in
the same manner as the common law—vie : by the
adoption of the colonists.
"The author of (he pamphlet, as we have intima
ted does not contend that the common law or the
statutes of England, or the common law or
statutes of either of the States, go to the Ter-
Glories of their own accord ; nor that they
are carried there by the Federal Constitution ;
nor that they should bo carried there by act of
Congress. But lie contends that each citizen
moving from, a State to a Territory carries with
Min the lawn of bin State, and is protected there
by ; and that those laws cennot be repealed nor
changed until the Territory bcoomee a State. I
Each citizen will thus be protected and governed
by the laws of his previous domicile. end will be
wholly independent of the community in which he
lives until the Territory becomes a State. This
comes nearer to our idea qf ..squatter sovereignty'
than any theory we hare seen.
"The rights of a Virginia nlaveholder depend on
the common law and at:Rules of Virginia; those of
the sleveholder in other States depend on the laws
of their respective States. The laws, and conse
quently the rights of slaveholtiors, differ in all the
States In come, the master's rights are greater
nod more strongly guarded than In others. In some, I
the attempt- to steal a slave Is a felony; In oth
ers, it Is not, In some, the stealing of a slave is
punished by death ; in others, by oontinoment in
the penitentiary. In some. slaves are treated es
real estate; in others, as personal estate, with dii.
ferant rules as to descents, devises, and convey- ,
,
" According to this writer, the Virginian goes to
e, Territory with all his rights under the common
law and absinth,' of Virginia; the South Caroli
ninn goes with all his rights under the customs of
London and the statutes of South Carolina; the
Louisianlin goee with all his rights under the civil
law and statutes of Louisiana; and others go from
other slit veliolding Slates carrying the lap's of their
respective Staten; and all their rights, as held and
Remit by the laws of their respective Staten
must month In stain quiz until the Territory shall
become a State. They cannot, even by common
conseut, modify the various and conflicting laws
governing their rights, 8 , 3 as to form a harmonious
system suitable to their new condition. The rights
of every man adhere to hint, like the shirt of Nes
sus. and can't he thrown off, lot him do what be
will. until the Territory becomes a Stale.
" Lot us glanne at the writer's position from ano
ther Amid-point, It is not only a logical comm.
queue of Ms reasoning, but he distinctly states
the doetrine, d o lt tho status or a free negro in a
Territory depends on the laws of the State from
which he moves, just as the status of Is slave de
pends on the law of the State from which lie Is car
ried ; and that'the right of a man to his wife In a
Territory cannot be affected by Territorial legis
lation any more then the right' of a man to hie
slave. hence, a tree n . e gro having lawfully mar
ried Wl4t6 vlelliati in MassaehusettP, could, by
virtue of the Mira of that fltrite. lawfully remain in
a Territory with Isis white vrifo, tu!tvi:ithstanding
Territorial laws to the contrary.
Such a social condition would present anotnalien
never witnessed in a civilized community, and cer
tainly never contemplated by the framers of the
Federal Gonstituflou. They designed that the
Territosiee should ho admitted as States ppon ac
quiring the requisite population. To deny to the
• neo pt e of the Torsitcries the right to regulate their
domestic coneeros. end to keep them floundering
i n the cell of' confession, Into which this writer
would plunge them, up to the moment or forming
a State essiceitotion, would certainly be a very in.
different method of preparing them for that act of
supremo sovereignty; and, in the meantime, the
adminixtratlan of such various and cordlietlng laws
would, bo wholly Imprtuatlcablo. It is olear that
there ban bo no adequate protection either to the
rights of person or of property in the Territories,
without statutory regulations, to tie made either by
Congress or the Territorial Legislatures—by Con
gress cerrying out the British doctrine of Federal
th sir by tho Territorial Legislatures

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Money Market.
PIIILADELPHIA. Oct. 11, I fira.
The action of the board of directors of the Perms, f
rani a Central Railroad Comrany in securing the con
trol of the Cumberland Valley railroad was a stroke of
good Policy, the future good results whereof it is hardly
possible to over-estimate. This Kent was accomplished
by the investment of the money of the sinking fend in
buying a controlling interest in the stock of the Cum
berland Valley railroad. This road, which is in first-rata
order, runs from Harrisburg, through Shippensborg,
Carlisle, end other flourishing towes,to Chamberaburg.
The whole Cumberland valley is a complete garden.
The famous Chester valley does not excel it in fertility
or in thorough apace:tette farming, and its local traffic
is rapidly and profitably increasing. The control or its
management, fixed in the hands of the Penney 'yenta
Railroad Company, secures its valuable trade to Phila
delphia under any probable state of things, and fur
nishes another strong bond of union between our city
and the interior of the State.
From Chambersbnre another railroad has been built
through Green Castle to Hagerstown. Maryland. This
road also promises to open to Philadelphia an extensive
and mutually henefimal trade, increasing also the
receipts of the Cumberland Valley and the Pennsylvania
Can rat Railroad Companies. It was promised to be
open for travel by the first of August, and, in fact, the
rails are hid and ready for travel span nearly its she).
length.
But, by some oversight. tt-c company failed to furnish
the contractor with crosit-ties at the stipulated time,
thereby enabling him to avoid the penalty for non-fal
fitment of contract at to time, and recently a quarrel has
arisen between turn and the cupenntendent Peb"g Gar

a compromise between the cell:Mamas, if they were to
move energetics/0 and promptly in the matter. If they
do not. the people of Hagerstown may have to waiuyet
a long time for the expected advantages to be derived
from a railroad built to their v wry doers.
The Cumberland roost miners seem to be a good deal
depressed. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
charges them such exorbitant tolls on their coal ea al
most to prohibit them from market. white it struggles to
secure through freisht from the West at losing Prteell-
Hundreds of thousands of dolbira were invested in the
coal, and Iron. and other mines in the region about
Reilmont. with the expectation that the tolls then
charged, which were remunerative to the railroad com
pany. would remain fixed. or nearly so. But when all
this capita/was fairly embarked in °mains mines and
constructing niachinery, and the coal and other yields
bean to beprcduced in respectable quantities for mar
ket. the Baltimore and Oluo Railroad Company ad
vanced their tolls Se mach per son as to totally prevent
the miner( entering the markets with othe ccom_peti

are still n orking thetr mines. because it is tees foes to
work them without profit than to let•th.eir improve

hopes of the mining companies have been dashed to the
ground by the thacrimination of the company against
