IMPORTANT TO Before Jury 29.—Dxcision.—. * CONTRACTORS Hon. J Mi 'e nee of the defendant the course of action to recover g the Panama » an ‘0 to the Isthmus from New York, to rpenter for six months, at two dollars day, and to board and | him, and farnish & passage back to thiscity. That Bartl to and did go as above stated, and worked for de- fendant on the Isthmus for about eight days, when, without any fault on his part, he was discharged by defeadant's agent, and the con- tract thereby broken. That Bartley performed he agreement on his part, and on July 5, 1853, assigned to the plaintiff his claim for damages. Issue is taken upon all the material averments of the complaint. ‘The agreements is in writing, and from its peculiarities merite more than a passing notice. It, amongst other things, provides “that the assignor shall work for defeudact for six months, at his trade, or at avy other work that defesdant’s agent may re- uest of him to do, and further, that defendant could Pecucge him at any moment, by ressing himself dissatisfied with plaintiff; and, if discharged, all back wages were to be forieited.” The assignor, being called on the stand, proves the assignment. Objection was maade to the competency of witness; there is no- thing in the objection taken, whatever may be said of the moral effect of permitting an assignor to be a wit- neas to support the claim ussigued; the law expressly recognizes tke right todo so. ‘The witness further tes- tified to the execution of the agreement, and that, pur- suant to it, he and others, by defendant's direction, went to the Isthmus, consigned to defendant's agent; that they arrived about 24th or 29th October; defen- dant’s agent (one Hunt) receiv inwall and sent them to work at Barbi to witness was here renewed upon the ground that the claim was not assignable in its ature. The point was pressed by defendant's counsel wita great zeal and considerable ingenuity, which, together with the fact that ifthe objection be well taken it goes to the whole case, induces me to devote more space to it than any intrinsic soundness in the objection itself. The rule which distinguishes choses in action assignable and not assiguable, is clearly laid down to be this, so far as is necessary to state it: here such right of action as affects the estate of the assignor, and would survive to his personal representatives, are as- signable. Such as affects the person of the person desirous to assign, and would not snrvive to his per- soual representatives, are not assignable. This dis- tinction bas been so often laid down that it is not n at this day for discussion, and ou the trial, ta- king the view here expressed of the law, I overruied the objection; and subsequent examination has satis- fied me that the ruling was correct, and that the arguments which cun be produced in support of s ‘oes, and also 2 royed by ahain, wd ‘There are, doubtless, many vessels destroyed lightning that go down in the deep and are Thunder and lightning storms on the land are oft under an iD; 4 times so terrific aud fearful as to strike dread into the stoutest hearts; but on the wide, wide ocean the: are threefold more fearful; and yet next to nothing done by owners of vessels or underwriters to afford protection to those who traverse the mighty deep, and who transact business on the great waters. Such 8 disregard to the protection of human life will not go unheeded, and ere long some dreadful and fearful catastrophe will awakea the public mind from its stupor, and bring grief, agony and deep suffering to many a fireside. ‘ The mest ancient writer upon natural things, says that the Almighty made a way for the lightning of the thunder, and all experience in the present day is in perfect accordance with that declaration. In no instance bus there been loss of life in a bui'd- ing or vessel provided with metallic lightning con- ductors, Qer marine lightning memoranda of the present year furnishes the Aglowing statistics :— 1853. Feb, 22—Clipper ship Golden Light, at sea, bound to California, set on fire and destroyed, with A bont’s crew of eight persons sea, with @ valuable cargo. the fluid exploded’ near the main topuast bead, knocked the whole watch down, acd covered the deck with fire. 4— Bark Orline St. Joha, off Cape Hatteras.

(Hodgman agt. the Western Railroad Com pany, 7 Howard's Reports, 492, aud cases there cited. Draught agt. Curtis and al., 8 How- ard’s Reports, 56.) The witness further testitied, that under the defendant's direction, (or those of his agents, which 1 speak of as his own,) he worked eight days, and at the expiration of that time he was discharged by one Dalton, an agent of the defendant It further appeared that before his working for the defendant ‘Ttimately ceased, & refusal to work unless better accommodations and food were provided for them, was asserted by the me- chanics employed by the defendant, and acted upoo by them in so far that they * knocked off” work for one day, and also that the witness Bartley was among those who “ knocked off.’ He denies par- ticipating in any preconcert in the revolt, and says that he told the «ther men that he should goto work, and that he did so. He had been appointed by the defendant as a sort of foreman, and this fact was urged as rendering his fault in ‘‘ knocking off” more grievous in this, that it encouraged the others proportionably more from his superior po- sition. However correct this may be, at this time we can only judge and decide between the par- ties by their actions at the time, which are the surest criterions of tbe views then taken by them of the matter. It appears that Bariey, after he had “knocked off” and returned to his work, was re- tained in the defendant's employ. Now, although defendant's agent says he took the first opportunity to ‘‘send him away,” he does not appear to have found it till some time had elapsed after the revolt; and when he did “ send him away,’ hé did not dis- charge him but sent him back to Hunt, (because there was no work at Barbicore,) to whom he tendered his services. Hunt told him he had no work for him todo. Bartley very properly offered himself to other parties, who employed him up to the time of his falling sick, which cccurred some few days after. The counsel for the defendant urged strongly that. Bartley had violated the contract and tiat the continuing of him in the defendant's employ was not “a condonation.” Jt is very evident from the action of the parties that he was not atthe time regarded by either of them as having violated the contract, and no reason appears why the Court should en- deavor to force upon the evidence a construction | whick appears not to have been at the time put upon | their acts by the parties themzelves; and further, ad- Mitting the correctness of the defeadant’s position | here—in cases 0! contracts which in themselves can- | not be enforced, being void by statutory provisions, | where the parties act under always permitted ty be used, the controlling wea-ure of damage the contract, and tat it was the: tween them, that i both parties, a party « lawful, and equity ¢ sel ed as todamages, obligations in r mployer to be subject to the conditions of the ayreement.

It is frequently urged asan excuse for neglect, that lightning conductors are dangerous, because they say those appendages attract the lightning. The attraction of a rod will not invite the lightning to a building or vessel that it would otherwise have avoided, but if it is descending to a vessel or build- ing, it will duct it safely to the earth or water. Iron ships, iron buildings, steamers and steam- boats, all afford protection against lightning, and there is not to be found a case of loss of life by light- ning in an iron ship, iron building, steamer or steam- boat. These facts are conclusive, To underwriters we say, there is no case to be | found in which a c aim has been made upoa them for loss or damave by lightning to v } 1 or cargo, where the veseel was furnished with 1 ghtning con- | ductors. | _ The expense of lightning conductot N .

He states that he reached Philadelphia by stowing himself in a car or freight train, and remained there two weeks, sleepiag in the market houses, and subsisting on offal given him by the servants at the hotels. Finally, a railroad condue- tor allowed him to ride on the platform ofa ear to Baltimore, where he staid for more than a month, serv- | ing as an errand boy and newspaper carrier; after which, he proceededon foot to Frederick, begging enough to eat from the farm houses on the road; here, he engaged as hostler at a tavern, but left in a week on the top of a buggy wagon for Harper's Ferry, where he accidentally picked up a $5 bill, and took the cars for Cumberland; a gentleman there paid bis way to Wheeling; at the latter place, he is en- deavoring to engage as a cabin boy on board of a steamboat for St. Louis, where he hopes to engage as herdsman or cattle driver to California.

Fisher was then placed in the baggage car,and the door locked. By this time, we should judge he was safe in Maryland.—Philadelphia Bulletin, July 27. Brutat.—We learn that on Saturday night, a freight train ran over a man lying on the track near Fetterman’s. When the train was stopped, i+ was thought strange that no blood was to be seen flowing from the wounds caused by the we of the cars over his body, and on examination he was found to be perfectly cold. Itwas subsequently ascertained that he had been murdered in a row, and his bod placed on the track with the intention of making it appear that he had been killed by the cars. We learn that several persons, supposed to have been en- gaged in this brutal affair, have been arrested.— Wheeling Intelligencer, July 25 Coroners’ Inquests, KILLED BY THR MACHINERY OF A Sre4MBOAT.~-Coroner O’Donnell yesterday held an inquest on the body of Joba Haythorne aged fifty years, a native of New Jersey, who came to eath yesterday morning between nine and ten v’clock, by being crushed betweer the crank and the frame on board the steamboat Cataline, which plies ba- tween this city and Bridgeport.

It was not fair to take testimony from the wit- nefs relative to what Mr. Austin said. Alderman Doherty here gave the committee quite a lecturé as to their duty, and charging them to act as a committee, without observing the technicalities of a court, e committee decided not to admit testimony from the witness regarding what other parties interested said in relation tothe contract. The witners proceeded:— T received a verbal notice # day or two before signing the contract, from John S, Austin. The first intimation I got of the contract having been awarded to me, was from Mr. Austin; he said the Street Commissioner was willing to give the ccntract tome, if we would settle our own difficulties; Austin wanted his own name in the contract, aa weil as mine, and said the Street Commissioner woald not take a verbal agreement from us; that we must put it in writing. Aloerman Doberty—Did Mr. Austin say to you that the Stieet Commissioner would give you that contract, if you and be could make it right with one another? Obdjected to, and ruled out. Witness—I stated that Mr. Furey saidif Austin and I vould settle between ourselves, 1 would get the contract; we signed & paper to be given to the Street Commissioner, agreeing in relation to the contract. Alderman Doherty—Was there any other understand- ing, otber than that mentioned im tne papert? ‘4. There was; I do not know that Mr. Furey was c%ni- vant to any other agreement than that in the paper, I met Austin at the Street Commissioner's office, by ap- pointwent, when we mutually hy aoe to settle; he wanted his pame inthe contract, but { would not consent; the agreement was brought to me the day before I signed the contact. Alderman Doherty—Did Mr. Austin state that if you would sign the paper, the Street Commissioner would give the contract? A. I was in the Street Commissioner’s office when Mr. Turner aeked me if that was my signature, (showicg me a peper;) I said yes; Mr. Austin thought that his name snd wine were both to be in the contract, but 1 objected; I told the Deputy Street Commissioner that the contract was to be made out in my name alone; | left Aus. tin in the Street Comiissioner’s office, he c: down eteirs afew moments sfterwards, and told m contract was ready, and I went up and signed it; I worked on ihe contract one day; Austin has team: ‘work every day on the same contract.
