THE ESIE EAILE.OAD CASE.
Tus E. & N. E. Raileoad Co. vs. Joseph
Caset. Iih Supreme Court. The Erie and
.North East Railroad was chartered on the 12th
of April, 1812. The charter contained this
clause, "that if the said Company shall misuse
or abuse any of the privileges hereby granted,
the Legislature may resume , the rights and
privileges granted to said Company." In
September, 1851, on a bill filed at the suit of
the Attorney General, the Snprenic Court de
cided that the company had made an unauthor
ized and illegal location ot their road in the
city of Eric, and at llarbor Creek. The Le
gislature, at the ciose of the last session, pass
ed a bill repealing the charter, and authorizing
the Governor to appoint a Commissioner to
take the charge and custody of the road, and
' the proceeds to be deposited, and the road and
U the property to be at the further disposi
tion of the Legislature.
1 The Governor approved this act on the 6th
of October, and appointed Mr. Casey Commis
sioner to take charge and custody.of the road.
r.pfnrfi actual nosscssion was taken, the Com
pany applied to the Supreme Court for an in
junction against the Commonwealth alledgmg,
1st. That the Act was unconstitutional.
2d. That the forfeiture of lire Charter, if any
Ji'ad occurred, had been waived by the Spte.
3d. That the Acts aUcdgcJ by the State
Against the Company were not
ground of forfeiture to justify the
the character.
The case was -argued before the
repeal or'
Sttprems
Court at Philadelphia, on the Dth of January,
on a motion for a preliminary injuction, by
Hon.' 'Win. Mi Meredith and St. Geo. Tucker
Campbell, Esq., for the Company, and Hons.
James-Thompson and Joseph Casey for trie
Commonwealth.
On the 28th nit., the opintea of the Court
was delivered, sustaining the constitutionality
of the law, and the sufficiency of the grounds
of forfeiture. Chief Justice Lewis, and Jus
tice Woodward dissenting.
"God nstp the Poor," exclaims a female
contributor to the N. Y. Nirror, "God help
the poor while the hoary-headed monarch,
Wintcr is abroad in his wrath, binding the
earth in his icy manacles! Hunger may be
long borne, for a very little will suffice to keep
ofr absolute starvation ; and though food be
' scanty, xcaler is not to be' be bought up by
speculators, and even that will go far toward
sustaining life. But stinging, merciless, terific
cold the remorseless tyrant that will not be
appeased with little fastening, like a vulture,
upon body and soul, (for our corporeal and
spiritual arc too nearly in sympathy not to be
atiectcd each' by the other,) freezing up the
blood," paling the check, paralyzing the very
heart it's appalling I Why is it, that as men
Leap tp treasures on their heads, the weight
must crowd down their hearts 1 Why has gold
such power, not only of attraction, but con
traction, corrosion; eating out every better
feeling of the nature, shrivelling up human
sympathy, ever narrowing the orbit cf the
soul ? "Why ahall the bouuties of God be the
very weights teat shall at Iast;press men down
and forever bar them from His presence ?"
The fair philanthropist closes her appeal with
the following truthful remarks : "The cost of
snany a fashionable hat would provide rent
and food for some time, to gladden the in
most soul of some wearied, despairing moth
er, and her helpless children. I have seen
pocket handkerchiefs that would pay half a
Ten's rent in comfortable apartments; collars
whose cost would furnish a winter'sprovisions;
fans equivalent to a ton of coal; furs for which
a small house and lot would not pay. Cut I
could quote adivfiniivm. If every lady when
about .to purchase a dress at twenty shillings
per yard, would make it two dollars, giving
the difference to some association, making all
other expenditures contribute a help to that
cause,aboveal others. Wo'J the prospered ones
but look at their wealth in the light of. Eter
nity, keeping curtainless the windows of their
eonls to God's light, love-ward, they would
pot be long giving their testimony that 'twas
truly "more blessed io give than to receive;"
and the prayers of those who were ready to pe
rish should be winged angels, carrying the in
cense ol their good deeds to the throne of God.
"In as much as yc have done it unto one of
the least of these, ye have done it xinto me."
The Liquor Bitx is the Sexate. The Ilar
risburg correspondent of the Phila'd. Ledger,
writing under date of the 31st. Feb., says :
'The Liquor question is now fully before the
Senate. Like the House, that body is divided
into three faction those in favor of the un
conditional repeal of the act of last session,
and a return to the old license system, those
opposed to a repeal of that act under any cir
cumstances, and those in favor of the repeal
and the substitution of a restrictive license sys
tem. ; -The former are not in a majority in the
Senate as they are in the House, but are very
pertinacious in their" efforts to put themselves
rizlit noon the record. The first movement
made by thcui was yesterday; to have the
House- bill, repealing the existing law, refer
red to a select Committee of five, rather than
to the Committee on ; Vice and . Immorali
ty. This, after a long discussion, -was lost,
yeas 11, nays 18, which was thought to be par
tially a test vote on the question of repealing
the present law. I therefore subjoin it: Yeas
Messrs. Buckalew,Crabb.Cresswell,Evans,Ely,
Ingr3ni.Kii:in'ger,Kno3:,Laubach,McClintoek,
Straub, "Walton, Welsh and Wilkins 14.
Kays-Messrs. Browne,EurgusonFlennikcn,
rinneyjFrazierjGreggjHoge, Jamison, Jordan,
Lewis, Pratt, Price, Sellers, Shuman, Souther,
Taggart, Wherry and Piatt, Speaker 13.
' This voto is so far a test, that it is said no
one voting ia the negative on the question
would vote against the unconditional repeal of
tli3 present law, while all the yeas might not.
Among the'yeas is Mr. Wilkins of Allegheny
county, who would vote for the naked repeal,
if the question was brought up, but said that
Lc would do it with great reluctance unless a
strict license system wa3 subhtitutod for it.
This morning the effort to call up the House
Bill was renewed, but ineffectually. A motion
to suspend the orders of the day, that it might
be considered," was lost yeas 11, nays 21.
Subsequently, in the sessions, a direct motion
to take it up was lost yeas 12, nays 20. And
this afternoon the consideration of tho House
Bill was fixed for Wednesday next, after the
license bill read in place by Mr. Wilkins.
Afpaibs in Washixcton. Jan. 31 It is un
derstood beyond dispute that but for Mr.
Walker's revolutionary movements, Nicara
gua and Great Britain would before now have
concluded a treaty satisfactory to the former
with regard to the Mosquito Territory and
kindred questions, and at the same time not
conflicting with the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
The hundred votes cast for Mr. Smith, of
Virginia, for Speaker this afternoon, were by
th
friends of
Messrs. Orr
and Fuller, with
Mr. Wheeler added. Messrs. Barclay, Hick
man, Williams, and Haven voted with the tri
umphant opposition. The plurality will again
be voted on to-morrow, with a better prospect
of sr.c'cess than heretofore.
According to an oflicLil decree just receiv
ed from Stockholm, the Swcedish Govern
ment has removed the import and export duty
from various kinds of iron.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Seward made an
able speech on Central American affairs, en
forcing the Monroe doctrine in forcible lan
guage, and alluding to the possibility of a war
with England. Concerning the present con
flict now convulsing Europe, he says the Brit
ish ada-.lnistration has long been unfaithful to
the cause of free institutions in Europe, and
fho French empire is, in my eyes, a hateful
usurpation... Nevertheless, both these admin
istrations are temporary and practically ephem
eral, while- the Russian empire is an obstinate
.in J portentious reality. I accept, says Mr.
Seward farther, the oracular exposition of the
first Napoleon, and believing that Europe must
soon b-j cither Republican or Cossack, I rec
ognize beneath the masks of the Allies the
western nations contending against an advan
cing despotism. Although no duty and uo
propriety requires us to intervene on their
side. I should Le very unwilling to engage my
country in combination against them. I re
gret also '.he sad condition of the Central A
merican States, which seems t render them as
incapable of profiting by our intervention as
the French people were when in 1780 they de
mantled a like interposition, the fulfilment of
precedent treaties of coramcrca and alliance.
Nevertheless a war with Great Britain is among
the possible solutions of present embarrass
ment. We certainly can look for no modera
tion on her part hereafter if we overlook her
persistent refusal to fulfil this the most impor
tant of all our international engagements. It
will bean idle dream to suppose ourselves free
and safe, if vc leave her to waylay us on all
sides of all our isthmus passages from our At
lantic region to the Pacific States. He coun
sels a notice to Great Britain that we shall in
terfere to prevent her exercise of dominion in
South America, if it shall not be discountin
ued within a year, and also that authority bo
now given to the President to execute that de
layed purpose.
A dispatch from Cincinnati, dated Jan. 28,
says: "There was quite a stampede among
the staves in the border counties of Kentucky,
in this vicinity, last night, and several of the
fugitives having bi-en discovered hero, the of
ficers, at noon to-day. proceeded to arrest
them. On approaching the house where the
slaves were secreted, the latter fird upon the
officer:?, wounding two or three spectators, but
not seriously. Otio slave woman, finding es
cape impossible, attempted to cut the throats
cf her three children, and so far succeeded as
to kill one of them instantly, and wound the
other two very severely- Six of tho slaves
were apprehended. Eight are said lo have
made their escape.
Gov. Sii.vx.Vox is now violently denounced
by the "Border Ruffians" and a';l their news
paper crgans, for making peace with the peo
ple of Lawrence during the late outbreak.
They profess to consider the terms of the treaty
as outrageous and insulting. Tho truth ap
pears to be that, when the Governor readied
Lawrence and listened to the statements of the
Free Soilers, he found that he had been egregious!-
deceived by the Border Ruffians, and
so did not hesitate to do the best he could, by
making peace upon such terms as lie thousht
likely to satisfy both parties.
Washington-, Jan. 20. As Mr. Grcclcj- of
the New York Tribune, was coining from the
Capitol this afternoon, he was attacked bv Mr.
Rust, of Arkansas, who, with bis .Cists, inflict
ed several blows on Mr. Greeley's head; and
afterwards, as he was approaching the Nation
al Hotel, Mr. Rust struck his arm severely
with a stick. The assault, it is presumed, was
in consequence of certain strictures in a "Wash
ington letter in the Tribune of Monday, on Mr
Rust's proposition in the House, requesting
the candidates for the Speakership to withdraw
from the contest.
