THE ERIE RAILROAD CASE
TnE E. &N. E. IUueoid Co. vs. Joseph
"Casey. In tht Supreme Court. The Eric and
2sTorth East Railroad was chartered on ttie 12th
tff April, 1842. The charter contained this
clause, "thai 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, 18GJ, on a. bill filed at the suit of
tine Attorney Uencral, the buprcme Court de
ided that the company had made an unaulhor
ized nd illegal location of their road in the
ciy of Eric, and at Harbor Creek. The Le
gislature, at the ciose of the last sessioa, pass
cd a bill repealing tbo charter, and authorizing
the Governor to appoint a Commissioner to
take the cliarge and custody of the road, and
the proceeds to be deposited, and the road and
all the property t- ic at the further disposi
tion f the Legislature.
The Govenwr approved this act on the Clh
f October, and appointed Mr. Casey Commis
sioner to take charge and custody of the road
Before actual possession was taken, the Com
pany applied to the Supreme Court for an in
junction against the Commonwealth alledging,
1st. That the Act was unconstitutional.
2d. That the forfeiture of the Charter, if any
had occurred, had been waived by the Sjate.
3d. That the Acts allcdged by th State
against the Company were not suflicicnt
ground of lorfciture to justify
t!i? ffpeal of
the character.

"Con help ras Pooa," exclaims a fcmlc
contributor to the N. Y. Mirror, "God help
the poor while the lioary-headed monarch,
Winter, is abroad in bis wrath, binding the
earth in his icy manacles! Hunger may be
long borne, for a very little will suffice to keep
eft" absolute starvation ; and though food lc
scanty, u-ater is not to be be bought up by
fpeculalors, and even that will go fir toward
sustaining life. But stinging, merciless, teriflc
cold the remorseless tyrant that will not be
appeased with little fastening, like a vulture,
upon body and soul, (for our corporeal and
spiritual are too nearly in sympathy not to le
allected each by the other,) freezing up the
blood, -paling the check, paralyzing the very
lieart it's appalling ! Why is it, that aj men
lieap np treasures on their heads, the weight
must crowd down their hearts ? 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 of the
soul 1 Why shall the bounties of God lie the
very weights ti.at shall at last;press men down
and forever bar them from His presence V
The fair philanthropist closes her appeal with
the following truthful remarks: "The cost of
many 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
year's rent 1n comfortable apartments; collars
whose cost would furnish a winter's provisions;
fans equivalent to a ton of coal; furs for which
V
a small House anu ioi woui-i not pay. inn i
could qnote ad infinitum. If every lady when
f about to purchase a dress at twenty shillings
1 per yard, would make it two dollars, giving
the difference to some association, making all
other cxiKMiditnres contribute a help to that
cause,alxveall others. Wo'd the prospered ones
but look at their wealth in the light of Etcr
' ;:f nity, keeping curtainless the windows of their
' souls to God's light, love-ward, they would
s not be long giving their testi nony that 'twas
truly "more blessed to give than to receive;"
If and the prayers of those who were ready to pe-
J riidi should bo winged angels, carrying the in-
cense ol their good deeds to the throne of God.

in tne Senate, to-day, Mr. Seward made an
able si.cech on Central American aflUirs, en
lorcing uie Jlonroe doctrine in forcible lan
guage, and alluding to the possibility of a war
with England. Concerning tlio present con
flict now convulsing Europe, he says the Brit
ish administration has long been unfaithful to
the cause of free institutions in Europe, am
the French empire is, in my eyes, a hateful
usurpation. Nevertheless, both these admin
istrations are temporary and practically ephem
eral, while tho Kussiau empire is an obstinate
and portcntions roalitv. I accei.t. savs Mr.
Seward farther, the oracular exposition of the
first Napoleon, and believing that Europe must
soon bo 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 no
propriety requires us to intervene on their
side, I should be very unwilling to engage my
country in combination against them. I re
gret also the sad condition of the Central A-
merican States, which seems to render them as
incapable of profiting by our intervention as
the French people were when in 1789 they de
manded a like interposition, the fulfilment of
precedent treaties of commerco 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
pcrsfstcr.t 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 we 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 wc shall in
terfere to prevent her exercise of dominion in
South America, if it shall not be discontin
ued within a year, and also that authority lc
now given to the President to execute that de
layed purpose.
A dispatch from Cincinnati, dated Jan. 2a,
says: "There was quite a stampede among
the slaves in the border counties of Kentucky,
in this vicinity, last night, and several of the
fugitives having been discovered here, the of
ficers, at noon to-day, proceeded to arrest
them. On approaching the house where the
slaves were secreted, tho latter fired upon the
officers, wounding two or three spectators, but
not seriously. One slave woman, finding es
cape impossible, attempted to cut the throats
of her three children, and so far succeeded as
to kill one of them instantly, and wound the
other two very severely- Six of the slaves
were apprehended. Eight arc said to havo
made their escape.
Gov. Shannon is now violently denounced
by the "Border Ruffians" and all their news
paper organs, 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. Tha truth ap
pears to be that, when the Governor reached
Lawrence and listened to the statements of the
Free Soilers, he found that he had been cgrc
giously deceived by tho Border Ruffians, and
so did not hesitate to do the best ho could, by
making icacc upon such terms as he thought
likely to satisfy both parties.
Washington, Jan. 2i). As Mr. Greeley of
the New York Tribune, was coming from the
Capitol this afternoon, he was attacked by Mr.
Rust, of Arkansas, who, with his fii.sts, inflict
ed several blows on Mr. Greeley's head; nnd
afterwards, as he was approaching the Nation
al Hotel, Jlr. 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
thecandidAtes for the Speakership to withdraw
from the contest.
Facstis I, Emperor of Ilcyti, has met with
a severe repulse in his effort to conquer the
Dominicans, who inhabit a portion of that is

containing three millions in Ilayticn notes,
and S80,000 in specie together with tho guns,

There is but little wheat offering sales of

eat Air-Tijhr Sslf-Sealing Cans and Jars, for
PreservingFrrsh Fruits, &c. This invention for
which a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to tho attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and the effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
The cans and jars aro constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the top, into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled w ith
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal tho ves
sel hermetically, it it only ne.ceexttry In lte.it the,
eorcr ultvhtly. tin I pre it into ptaer. It may be
opened with as much case as it isclosed, by slight
ly warming tho top. The ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose fur which this is intended,
cr.nnot bo closed, us is well known without tho nid
of a tinnsr; aro difficult to open, and aro generally
sft much injured iu opening as to be useless for
future service.
By this simplo contrivance, the processor lier
niclioal sealing is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) may bo kept,
with their natural flavor unimpaired, tor an in
definite length of time. For salo by
