The rule of law was: representations of defendant need not have been the sole inducement to him. Jt was enough to hold the defendant liable if he rt Id not bave taken the bonds without these tations; although the statements of Williams and might have some influence on his mind.

Had he relinquished money payments for the defendant delivering the deed after hearing of the in- solvency of the Starr Arms Company, that was not optional with him; he had a trust to deliver the deed to Hubbet! & Clapp on the payment of the last of the notes. The plaintiff could not have controlled the destiny of the deed; it was a matter in which Mr. Hubbell had an interest, Counsel for defence asked the court to charge that plaintiff bad a claim in equity against Mr. Hubbell; but ‘the court retused to so charge, and counsel took excep- tion. Counsel for defence also asked the court to charge that if, while defendant held the deed after July 28, 1864, and December 15, 1864, and plaintiff discovered that'the Starr Arms Company had failed, he (plaintiff) might have applied to the court to restrain the de- fendant trom delivering the deed. This the court also refused to charge. ‘The jury remained out about two hours and returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $42,302 19, the full amount claimed, with interest and costs, COURT OF SESSIONS.

Contest Between Virginin and North Care- Naa—Spirited Fighting—Fine Ea- gaged—Excellent Condition—A w Main— Outside Betting—Great Excite: t—Inclem-= eat Weather and Much Mud—Virginia Tri- umphant, &c. Coot SPrixa, year Perenssorg, Va, March 22, 1867. Near the Cockade City of Virginia, to wit: Petersburg, there has been during the last week one of the most spirited contests in the arena that has been witnessed for many a long day. The “early bird” had been chal- Jenging his neighbor in vain; for the booming of the cannon and the whirr of the Minié ball had almost ‘Sstilled him Into silence; but at last the echo caught the sound, and it was answered shrill, clear and defiant. Virginia challenged North Carolina, and after due pre- lnminaries the combatants met at Petersburg on the 19th inst, to settle their unanswered differencea, Notwith- standing the unprecedented inclemency of tho weather, a large crowd of sporting gentlemen assembled at Cool Spring, which is situated near this go-ahead city, to de- cide on the respective merits of the historic, valiant warriors of the two States of Virginia and North Carolina. The number assembled was, I suppose, about five hun- dred, mostly of the sporting fraternity, the exceedingly rainy weather and muddy ground preventing others from witnessing the sport. The pit was forty feet in diameter, and (which tended greatly to damage the fun) was out of doors; but of such great interest was the affair large numbers were present each day. Virginia ‘was most ably represented by Robert Allen, a magistrate of the city of Richmond, a great spqrtsman, who in the handling of birds is not to be surpassed, and who for reliable sport may be thoroughly depended upon, North Carolina was well represented by several gentlemen who enjoy @ sporting reputation, and who also displayed skill in the management and pitting of their cocks. Baltimore, Philadelphia, and even Now York, were represented by members o! this fraternity, mda large amount of money changed hands outside. Tho prize was $2,200 on the “main,” each and every fight being $100 per side. ‘On Tuesday morning the contestants met, and the “show"’ took place, each party displaying their birds to the greatest advantage. In this North Carolina took the victory. Thirty-one cocks aside were shown, and twenty aside matched—those from the North State being finer in appearance, and heavier in everv instance. ‘The lightest bird shown weighed four pounds four ounces, and the heaviest six pounds ten ounces. North Caro- lina by this exhibition had the choice of the Oght, and they compolled Mr. Allen, of Richmond, to fight a red cock against a North Carolina gray, both weighing four pounds four ounces. This being the opening fight, a good deal of interest was excited, and the spectators pressed forward eager to witness it. Not much betting was yet induiged in. The birds were both in good con- dition, being neatly trimmed and heeled with two three- qnarter gail. They came up game, and after an excel- lent display of genuine pluck for seventeen minutes, Mr, Allen’s cock won, his antagonist dying immediately. ‘This ended the first day’s proceedings. BRCOND DAY. ‘The weather was again excecdingly inclement; but, nothing daunted, the parties appeared avain upon the scene with their birds io fine trm. As to-day the sport was tocommence in good earnest, Mr. Allen, of Ri mond, and Mr. James Falkin, of North Carolina, wo juipped for the pit. The birds were all game and some F iee very fine lookine, In the majority of cases the North Carolina cocks weighed most, the show giving them this pwecadence. The first fight Mr. Allen pitted a bandsome Virzinia bird, weighing four pounds eleven ounces, against Mr Falkin's North Carolina bird, weighing four pounds twelve ounces, This fight was very spirited, but lasted only forty seconds, Mr. Allop’s cock winning, Falkin’s ‘The sevond fight poon took place, ontside betting bring red cock, Som ponntetn a Norrh Carchoa fing ve both ard cock of five Figbtiag very rede s trne game, twenty-seven utes, when the ‘Bustaying., sh good dou) of woncy neve changed han a La The tn baths Gna Jong duration. “Mr. Aten now pitted a Virginia “pile,” weighing four pounds, ten. seconds, the North Carolina bird beinz killed. ‘The fourth encounter was between a Virginia “pile” of five pout and 2 North Carolina bird of five pounds tivo ounces, birds looked well and fought spirit- edly for two minutes when the Virginia killed its antago- nist, and was-declared the winner.

The fight lasted fifteen minutes, North Carolina being the victor. Considerabie sums changed bande. The closing fight ot the day, beine the sixth, now came off.

THIRD DAY, As usnal wet and exceotingly disagreeable weather, the ground boing mud anklo deep, and consequently dit- ficult for the animale to fight. The first contest was Mr. Allen's Petersburg ted, five pounds six ounces, against Mr Falkin’y North Carolina black gray, five pounds seven ounces, which la-ted five minutes, whea Allen's ran clear out’ of the pit and the North Carolina bird was declared the victor. ‘The second fight was between Allen's “pile,” five pound ht ounces, and Falkin’s biack, five pounds ten ounces These two birds looked beautiful, and excited a great deal of attention, betting being brisk. The tight Josted seven minutes, when the North Carolina bird was killed and Allen’s declared the victor, Alien’s gray, five pounds ten ounces, was now pitted againet Faikin's North Carolina blue gray, five pounds eleven ounces This fight was very desperate and lasted bine ta‘nutes, the North Carehna bemg the victor, ‘Allen’s bird dying.

Harrrorp, Conn., March 24, 1867. In the northern part of the State, and especially in the northeast, the political puddie is less turbid than in the south, and few pohtical gatherings of consequence ocour; 1m fact both parties seem to be lying on their arms until election day, or waiting placidly!for something to turn up, For this there are numerous reasons, the principal one of which is found in the general pooh of busi- ness in Tolland county—a belt of country lying across the Connecticut and Willimantic rivers, and the seat of the largest woollen manufactories in the State. During war—for war was the lamp of Aladdin which piloted the capitalists of this section into caverns of secret treasure— these companies ran up huge and unnamable divi- dends, and waxed corpulent, important and FalstaMan on the diet of their gains. Sowing gold by the grain Troy, they reaped a golden barvest of a hundred fold per year and reared tor themselves palaces, Fifth-avenue-ish for grandeur, out of that which was wrung from the pock- ets of the people by the high prices of clothing and all other articles of woollen fabric. Shoddy was invented, and straightway a hundred shoddy wills sprang into being along the Willimantic valley, and patriotic capital- ists fattened on the country’s want of blue cloth, The traditional wooden nutmeg speculation was surpassed by the shoddy speculation, if not m the quality of its thimblerigging at least in the dimensions thereof; quotas for the draft were filled by buying negroes for a song to fight the battles which the sons of Connecticut should have fought, whilo they, fxhting by proxies, staid at and generally matters went ims and tastes of the pro. geny of the Puritans, Tho war ended, however, and the scene of the dream was shifted. Shoddy was no longer in demand; the market was found to be glutted with woollen fabrics; and the sound of the shuttle and of the loom ceased to be heard along the valley, Mill-wheels by the dozen grew still, and huge buildings of granite stood dumb as the old meusoleums of Egypt in which mummies are supposed to be buried. For several weeks the large manufactories of woollens in the northeastern portion of the State and in Tolland county have been running only eight hours per day, though at a reduction in the wages of those employed, ‘and not as the workingmen demand, with full pay; and unless something now unforeseen should occur to give an impulse to trade in a couple of weeks they will have ceased running altogether. AS most of the opera- tives are poverty-stricken enough, even when working at full wages, there is a prospect of con- siderable sutfering in the larger villages of the North during the summer. It is estimated that by the steppage of these mills not less than twenty-five thousand persons, who have depended upon their skill as operatives for their weekly support, will be thrown next to penniless upon their own resources, and left to \ift ior themselves, ‘This estimate includes not less than four thousand families, most of whom will be re- dneed to the alternative of begzing or starvation, of to those invisible means ofsupvort which consist of arather irrogular mixture of the former two, Amony {!ese classes, therefore, the broad question has taken pr tence of the Barnum question, and the pros- pect of he ny left without certain means of support has driven polities Zoom the heads of the many, leaving the discussion of the subject to the grasshopper-infested ciamiums of re pcmy politicians, nf In.

They cannot be made to see that capacity for manufacturing mermaids and woolty horses is any proof of legislative talent; and, moreover, cannot be mado to comprehend the pro- priety of coupling protossora of rhetoric and professors of the occult art of humbug in the same official capacity True, generally speaking, Yankees have an intense a miration for humbug, and very little indeed for rhetori trae, they are usually fonder of woolly horses than w turned sentoncés; and true it is, furthermore, that the Yankee bas untimited reverence for money making, even though the money be made the manufacture of mermaids, and very litte reverence for anything that cannot bo made to turn apenny. But, malgre wil this, the Yankee has certain notions of official propriety, and put bim in office he drops wooden nutmegs and puts on the pinkest airs of dignity ata moment's notice. Ifhe plays Dogberry he oul-Dogberries the Shakspearean justice himself, and he 18 apt to insist that mermaids amt woolly horses, though exceedingly remunerative capital for business purposes, are not the very best stock in trade for a Congressman. Besides, argues the Yankee, what will they. or rather what won't they, say about this thing abroad? And in imagination be bears the London Timer deciaiming that the father of lom Thumb's baby should have been sent by the penny-saving commonwealth of the State of Con- necticut, Now, if there is anything of which Yankees have a horror, it is of what people might aay about them. They are far more punctilions about avoiding the appenr- ance of evil than they are about avoiding the thing itself; FS é ‘and if—as Tyrawly could be dead for several years and Jet nobody know it—they could elect the thimblerizging Tom Thumb to Congross and let nobody know it, they would elect him at once.
