THE RAILROAD BOND, CARE.
In the United States Circuit Court, before
Judges Grier and If.'Candless, several cases
have been on trial during the present 4eek,
brought by partieS CO recover the amount
of interest coupons upon bonds issued by
municipal corporations to railroad compa
nies..
- -
The first case was Henry Amey vs. the
city, of Allegheny. This case was for
coupons upon bonds issued to the Pennsyl
yards and Ohio Railroad Company since
consolidated into the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne -and Chicago Railroad Company.—
The amount of bonds issued by Allegheny
city to this company was, we believe, 5750,-
000, and the decision in this case rules the
whole of the Allegheny City cases. The Plea
was that the city was not indebted to the
plaintiff, as charged in his declaration. The
fact of the issuing of the bonds was proved,
and the acts of assembly giving authority for .
the issue cited. The Court over-ruled the
whole defence, and decided that the city
was liable for the bonds issued. Judge
Grier also administered a severe rebuke to
the councils .of Allegheny City for the at
tempt to repudiate these bonds, having vot
ed their stock and received their dividends
- for alength of time, and assumed all the
powers and enjo3ied all the privileges of
stockholders in _the road: The case was
placed in a position to be taken to the
tiu
preme'Court by a divided opinion of the
Judges.
In this case, Judge Grier intimated the
strong probability that his decision in the
Oelrichs case would be over-ruled either by
himself or the Supreme Court of the.brnited
S a ea, at Washington, and that the court
would hold the city bound by her acts, and
that the power to subscribe includes the.
power to issue bonds.
The next case was that of Wood, vs. the
county Of Allegheny for coupons upon bonds
issued to the Allegheny Valley, the Chattier,.
Valleyand the Steubenville Railroad COM
panies. The defence . was over-ruled in all
the cases, :and the court decided that the
various acts of the legislature authorized the
issue of :the bonds in every case; that the
bonds Were issued legally, and that the
plaintiff was entitled to recover:
Judge Grier charged the jury in substance
That this suit was brought on coupons given''
for railroad subscriptions. The Supreme
- Court of the State have assumed the conAitu
tionall vaidity of such subscriptions, and that
question is not one now open for dioiussion. I t
was Teti for courts to inquire whether the
stibscriptions were wise or unwise, but to
enforce - the law and maintain the
of contracts. Whatever regret there
might, be at the amount of debt that had
been imposed upon the community for
railrolids,:it is too late now to set up objec
tions that. ought to have been made before
the :bonds were issued, and had gone
into the hands of innocent holders, who had
adiaticed the money to carry on the work.
Repudiation of such debts is immoral ;
and a set of principles have been pushed
- forward in this community that aro destruc
tife to all morality, and have brought shame
and dishonor oh this city and reprOach on
the State., The objections shade in this ca:ze
to a recovery have h4retof6re been argued,
discussed, and overruled. 1 overrule the
whole of them, and instruct, you to return
a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount of
the coupons that have been given in evi
dence, and interest upon the coupons from
the time they were payable until the present
time.-
The defendants counsel objected that
interestcould not bo charged on the coupons,
for that would be compounding interest..
.Tiidge Grier.—Each coupon is a debt pay
able on a certain day ; and for the non-pay
ment at that day the plaintiff is entitled to
interest. It is a mistake to call this com
pounding interest. The plaintiff is entitled
to the amount of the coupons and interest
thereon - from the time they were Payablti,
and the jury will calculate the amount.
The verdict was for the plaintiff, for the
full amount claimed, $978 21. \
The court said that, in this case, they
would also certify a difference of opinion,
in order that it could be taken up, unle,s
the Supreine Court, meantime, , settled the
pointe in the case.
The:third case is that, of "David Porter
againot the county of Lawrence, to recover
interest coupons upon bonds issued by the
county, .to the New Castle and Darlington
Railw:oacf Company. This case is diff . erent
froni the two foregoing. The Legislature
had given authority to the county of Law
rence-to:-subscribe -to the Pittsburgh and
_ Erie road. A subsequent actauthorized the
Pittsburgh and Erie to transfer these bonds
to the New Castle and Darlington Road. The
County_ Commissioners, of Lawrence coun
ty, it is charged, issued the bonds &may to
. the New Castle and Darlington road. The de
fence contend, in the first place, that ther,e d
was no authority to issue the bonds to the
Pittsburgh and Erie road ; and secondly
that rjo, authcaty, whatever, existed for the
commissioners to issue them to the New CaS': .
tliand Darlington road. This was the en tire
ease, and-vnut most - ably argued by Lewis 'fay
lor, Esq., for the plaintiff, and Wm. 31. Ste
venson Esq.; and - General Il'Combs for the
county, The acts of Assembly authorizing
the issue of . the bonds to the Pittsburgh"
and Erie Company, and the transfer of $150,_
000 of ibis bonds so authorized to'the niw,.. l
Castle and p,,,oirigtori Company. The latter
• road was td . 1;2",",a ccamecting.link betiveen the
Erie Itott,ci and.the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
, and Chicago Road. The tiensfer of the
. bOndi wasveq.jty tke Co*, - tifssioilers:

and a resolution, to pay out of the county
Treasury any deficiency of interest which
the company might not pay. Also another
resolution subsequently to the trausfet:to
thp Darlington Company,' appropriating
money to litiSilhe interest on the bonds.--
To secure herself iri thiS, thocounty took
a mortgage on the Neiy Castle and Darling
ton Road.; This ,mortga7ge, was duly record
' ed. An assessment of two mills was made,
and set apart to pay the interest on these
bonds.. The County had directors in the
Pittsburgh and Erie Road, duly appointed
by the Commissioners, and they also ap
pointed directors in the New Castle and Dar
lington Road. An. Act. of Assembly, was
read, legalizing any irie,gehirity which had
occurred in the issuing or transfer of 1 hese
bonds, and authorizing the Company. to dis
pOse of the bonds at such rates as might be
agreed upon between the Company and the
purchaser. The Court adjourned, before this
case was concluded, until Friday morning.
tFor the Pittsburgh Post.)
'MR.. EDITOR—Sir: A small volume has
r r mently been published by N. B. Craig, Esq.,
purporting to be4a notice of my "History of
the Western Insurrection." I may, perhaps,
at some futuie period, make some .obi:ervatiom
on it, although, as to its character, it is simply
ridiculous. At present, my object is merely
to repel anypOssible inference that may be
drifum frOm my silence.
Neville B. Craig most strangely assigns to
me the part of the assailant or aggressor,
instead of the defense! This, is certainly, most
extraordinary. No—ho was the unprovoked,
-
unscrupulous assailant on this occasion, and
without any professions of saint-like piety,
such us he now assumes, since he has had the
worst of it. This is the third .controversy 1
have had with him, the other two on account of
Gen. - Harrison and Henry Clay. whom lie as
sailed with gross personalities. Such conduct
seems to be a propensity of his nature, end yet
he would have it to be thought, that he is ; the
most snook and lamb-like beink in creation.
My brother and myself had refrained from
republiihing the -Incidents of the Western
Insurrection,"- solely from the fear that it
might possibly wean() the feelings of sonie
an
otrending, survivor. The old fued between the
heads of the families had been forgotten du
ring a period of fifty' years, and we were un
willing to revive it, and none but the most
friendly feeling existed between their .teseend
and 1 with the exception of the historian )
I know of none other to this day. Now cola,
the book of Mr. Craig, with time itillw•klig
title of the -History of Pittsburgh,' in per
retannt rei ,memoriam- -chiefly laudatory of
the “Neville connection" or families. To this, I
had not the least objection,and could havecheer -
fully joined in the greater part of the laudation_
Bitt the historian, not content with the dis
play of an aitnahlo vanity, must attempt to de
grade another faini'V by representing the an
cestors or that family in an infamous light :
my feeling? prompted- me to undertake the
vindication of my father, and he that would
not feel in such a cause lutist be duller than
ths:t rsl on
Strange, indeed, that 1 should be consideru
the aggressor! In the vindication it was imps
id UV for me not to say seine things untiatterin
to the heads of the four powerful, arid. , s-rati
families of the " Neville connection," beesus

done injustice to, my father, possibly from on
accountable misconception. This necessity
was forced upon - me, but it was strictly con
fined by mete the ease in hand, which lindonged
to history. There was ;to traveling out of the
record, ('Ti MN' part, in sftrcii of personalities,
as Mr. Craig has done ; and nothing has been
slid by me to assail the character of any of
the " formidable" connection, or to give just
offence to the numerous and highly ru-specta
bledeacendants of those four families. The ar
istocratic feature has long deck disappeared ;
and they are only known as composing some of
our best and most useful citizens. The histo

Hero is a wonderful falling off.
The historian quotes CObb , nt. (Pam . Porcu

that this, unprincipled libeller, a: I consi,l , r
him, assailed him most unmercifully. x, he
did OD - Verner M'Kean, Dr. Rush, and litany of
the best patriots of the land. I thank Mr.
Craig for the compliment, - although ignorantly
and unintentionally bestowed. Poliveen Craig

smaller scale. These libellers, (Porcupine end

ty, of our antagonist—now the over-righteous
historian who enjoys the " benefit of clergy
on his side—as we have recently observed, in
the Christian Banacr and Adcoeate. The hi—
torian claims - for himself in his " little book, -
a high and lofty morality, almost up to the
standard of christian perfectibility. But he
reminds me that we arc both old, and should
be thinking of something else—true, and I
should not be surprised if he would be glad that
we were both dead. Has he forgotten, or re
pented his dexterous le;icrdemain in smuggling
through the Legislature the Connellsville
railroad charter T thus using an artifice for the
good -of his country. which, according to the
historian's present standard, the rigid moralist
must condemn ; and which nothing but the
inure could in the least excuse. Can this be
compared, as to moral latitude, with the arts
practiced by " the chief insurgent, - to prevent
dell war, bloodshed, and disunions Oh'
most oblivious and obliquitous Mr. Craig
The closing - part of his book, (for which
authors generally reserve their strongest points)
may fairly be taken as a sample of the whole.
and of his cogent, peculiar, and irresistible
mode of reasoning. Ile tells us that somebody
wrote to somebody else—that there were four
individuals in the West who were willing to
receive money corruptly from some other body.
And now, infers the historian, these could be
no other than Brackenriego, Uallatin, Find-
ley, and Smiley ; Cry), Brackenridge was
willing to receive money corruptly from the
government, ergo, he did receive money cor
ruptly from the same !
Mr. Craig is a bold Wan, and certainly not
destitute of invention, but without the genuis
of poetry. When seeing no mode of escape
front the overwhelming evidenen of James
Ross, Gen. Wilkins, J edge Addison, Senator
Hoge and Henry Puryianec, he resorts to very
palpable insinuations that these men were
partners in guilt with Brackenridge, and also
insurgents anti instigatorpp of insurrection!
It is said that there is but d step from the sub
lime to the ridiculous ; and that is the position
now so boldly and fearlessly taken by the rep
resentative and champion of the "Neville con,
unction and there I leave him.

THE Ai ANDAMIN exsiEs
In the Supreme Court oil AV ednesda, , , the
mandamus cases to compel the payment of
interest coupons issued by the city of Pitts
burgh to the Allegheny Valley and the
Pittsburgh and Connelisrille Ataitroad Com
panies, were argued by Messrs. Penney and
Mums for the ci ty,anti Messrs Harding and
Price, of Philadelphia, for the relators,
Messrs. Gest and Reinhoth. There was no
new question discussed the authority of
the city to make the subscription, being
mainly dwelt upon by the counsel on both'
sides. The chief point was that the first
Act of. Assembly, authorizing the subscrip
tion, did not authorize the issuing of bonds.
The City council passed an ordinance ig
February, authorizing: the subscription "all
legal difficulties being removed." In April
the legislature passed an 'Act of Assembly,
authorizing the issue of the'bonds," which
were then issued, subsequently to the pas
sage of the Act; The date of the . Act . is not
- mentioned in the bonds, and the:: question
was whether the issue was legal, of not Made;
in Vhis nianner.
The decisions in these cases will not prob- :
ably be made for souse time—probably not

se% eral indictments were found against him
for horse-stealing. ;Much had been said about
arresting him, and hence his anxiety to put

his attack of the nth of September, ho has

Morals in Texas
Judge Buckley, in a recent charge to the
Grand Jury of the District Court of Galveston,
presented a most deplorable state of morals in
Texas. Among other things be.said there was
no country inhabited by the AngloASaxon race
in which there was so little regard to law and
order as in Texas, and continued ;
"During the four years that I have been on
the bench, there have been between fifty and
sixty cases of murder before me ; and if in
each of the twelve judicial districts in the.
State there has been a like number, then
there has been upwards of six hundred cases
of murder in four years, showing a state of.
things unequalled in any country : and that of
these six hundred cases, not six of them have
been found guilty by the jury before whom
they have been tried. It is not pOssible to
suppose that, in all these cases there was a defi
ciency in evidence, and the only conclusion at
which I can arrive at, is that the jury must
have forgotten or disregarded their oaths."

ARTIFICIAL TEETEL
T is well known that first caws Dentistry
I
has been bejsmil the reach of the mass of people
on account of its costliness, and the irosibriit, rather
than tube up with the inferior workmanship of "cheap
Dentists," have adopted the wiser coarse and done
irithont any, for it a set of teeth be imperfect in work
manship and lnerint in fit, it is worm, OM/ useless and
dear at any price. , • . •
THE CORALITEIN L POECELAD.i . TEETH have in
augursteda new era in the science
: of dencistry 7 -being
the very best Artificial Teeth .unw in use, they can be
afforded at prices that plane them within the tench of
.. .
Being the first to introduce these new styles or work
to this community, I nocurdlngly fixed such prices as I
deemed would remunerate the best artistic and rap
ellanieal skill. Sine,' then, however, the Unprecedented
favor with which the work has been received,has com
pelled other Dentists to adopt it, some of whom wish - to
retain the old gold plate price, which I consider would
he exorbitant; for, though the new styles are really
more valuable than the beet gold work, they are made
of loss expensive material. The increased amount . of
work done also compensates for the redaction in price
On the other hand, a few Dental Quacks of this city,
who possess neither mechanical skill or common bon
etity, advertise the work at prices slightly less than my
own. notwithstanding they hare neither the ability nor
the right (It being patented) to manufacture it. The
object of this trickery to merely to obtain an opportu
nity to dispritge the lit iralite - and Porcelain and recom
mend some of their own worthless work. •
I have felt hound, in justice to myself and the public,
. .
to matte known these facts.
