The most important news of a ¢ommercial char- acter is the arrangement concluded between Baron Mana and the Montevidean government. The gov- ernment fas assumed the whole Mana currency in Circulation, amounuog to $5,600,000, receiving in payment of same an equivalent amount of bonds and other securities.

The chief news from the neighboring republic of Uraguay is the settlement of ihe money question be- tween Baron Maud and the government, the basis of which are that the Maud Bank pay the government in pubic funds valued at the price of amortization, The total emission to be redeemed 13 $5,000,000, which will leave about $900,000 in securities to be returned to the bank by the government.

VY. Keeling Begarding the United States—Th Question of Annexation—An Appeal. St. DomMInao, Oct. 8, 1869, President Grant and the New York HERALD have each had their special agent in this fleld expreasly to study and learn for the benefit of their respective constituents the fitness of this island for the manifest destiny of annexation. The HERALD 1s likely to come out first in this race for information, for tt has had a triple setof agents on its Antilles staff, and the errors or losses of auy one of the members will surely be corrected on a general comparing of notes. ‘The summary of Dominican ripeness for annexa- tion can be given in these words, “ready and eager;”* but behind this ali but universal desire to enter the Union Lngers # painful fear that Congress might re- fuse to receive the State of St. Domingo. If the Dowinteans should have presented their country at the door only to be refused admission the popular reaction against those who had promoted the proffer would be tremendous. Baez and his party would be swept out of power, and the black majority Would be strongly tempted to leave be- lind them their cherished landmark of ‘equality of races before the law” and join the Cacos of Haytl in asserting that it belongs to the negroes alone to govern this island. That feeling 1s dying out every- Where and nothing could rekindle this old antag- onism of race except the misfortune of being igno- muniously rejected after baying been persuaded to solicit admission into the Union, This view of our position sees entirely ignored in the United States. The press canuot understand and accept this true and shupte explanation of the reticence of Baez and his Cablucton tie question of annexation; but tt 1s the true and ouly obstacle, ‘Tue agents of the HERALD have traversed ihe isiaad from end fo end and this fact met them everywhere. High and low, black and white made no secret of their desire for annexa+ tion; but One and ali said the invitation must com from the United States, if Congress and the Wasnington Cabinet desire this island they lave but to say so, and 10 is theirs ou thelr own terms, Congress has but to pass an act authorizing the President to receive and pro- tect the State of St. Domingo whenever a majority of two-thirds Of her adult population shall aeciare, by public and Open yote, the desire of the Domini- cans Lo be so received, and shall present @ State con- sutution in accordance with the constitution of the United States, and tae thing isdone.

The worst of the matter is that the suggestion of Mr. Grant Dudf that the Ameer of Afghanistan “has two haads,” 1mplying that, while accepting a subsidy from the Indian government, he takes bribes also from the Russians, will be certainly reported to the accused himself, and will probably result in bis acung as Mr. Dutt has supposed he would.

THE AMERICAN BIBLE UNION. Twentieth Auniversary—Interesting Proceed= ings.

At about tour o'clock Miss Wagner commenced packing up her clotning. Knette sat for time on a pile of lumber near tue house. He afterwards stepped to the door and called Miss Wagner out, telling ner he wished to speak to her. Soon afterward Mrs. Boraheimer heard a nowe, and on looking out saw Knette with a pistol in one hand while he had hold of the girl with the other, She said to the girl, “Don't be frigniened, Anna; he won't shoot.” Knette,on hearing this, turned, in @ Wild manner, toward Mrs. Boraheimer, aud with coarse language threatened injury to her.

No. 164.—Thé Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany vs. Ellen T, Harris, Admintstratriz, é0.—This is a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, In July, 1865, John O. Harris, the intestate of the dezendant tn error, brought ult in the Supreme Gourt of the District against the railroad company recover damages for injuries sustained by him in consequence of 6 collision between two trains of the road, on one of which he was @ passenger, near Mannington, West Va., 10 October, 1364, The company pleaded to the juris- diction of the court, claiming not to be labile to suit in the District and demurred to the plaintiis replication to the plea. The demurrer was sustained at special term, but upon appeal to the general term the judgment was reversed and the company were directed to answer, which they did, pleading the general issue. The trial resulted in favor of Harr for the sum of $882 50. Appeal was again taken to the general term of the court, where the judgment was aMirmed. The present writ of error was then sued out, the company con- tending that the legal entity or person, which exists by force of law, can have no existence beyond the limit of the State or sovereignty which brings tt into life and endues it with its facilities and powers. And it is submitted that if @ corporation can have no legal existence out of the boundaries of the sov- ereignty by which it is created and must dwell in the place of its creation, then their corporation can- not by possibility be an inhabitant of this District unless it can be shown that it has been incorporated by a law of Congress operating within the District. ‘The only relation sustained to the District by the company ts such as certain acta of Congress have permitted, those acts reciting the fact that the cor- poration was created by the Legislature of Mary- land. It is insisted that tt ia not enough that the corporation shall be able to hold property tn the District and control it by the acts of an agent, nor ia it enough that it shall possess certain privileges and powers within the Districc which it may exercise by an agent. All this may be done as well on the theory that It is a non-resident a3 upon the theory that it is a resident. The stockholders ana presi- dent and directors of the corporation cannot hold a corporate meeting outside the State of Maryland; and it is impossibie that a corporation can be found within the District which 18 not, as such, capable in law of holding within the Dis- trict & meeting of its oficers and corporators. The defendant in error argues that under the judi- clary act of 1759 the court of the District has cogni- zance of all cases, in law and equity, between par- ties, both or either of which shall be resident or found within tt, The word “person” includes a corporation, an artificial person, such as the com- pany in this case. The language of the charter of the company 1s recited to show that the company was a resident corporation, and found within the District at the time of the service of process, The charter granted by Maryland authorizes the con- struction of a road having two termini outside the boundaries of the State and beyond its jurisdiction. in execution of @ general intention the company, immediately after obtaining their charter, applied to Congress and to the State of Virginia for authority to. carry into effect the original purpose—the extension of the road within their separate jurisdictions. The acts of Congress and the statutes of Virginia show their assent, and the cor- poration accepted the privilege granted. The cor- ration within this District is in the exercise of a ranchise by the assent of the sovereign power; a franchise whicn could exist if the charter of the company should be repealed by the State of Mary- land; a franchise of which the sovereign power of that district cannot ceprive it, unieas by quo war- ranto or scire facias, The company may sue here by equity. It may sue here as a habitat. It may exercise here all the powers, fran- chises and privileges that it may within the State of Maryland. Beg a habitat the company is estopped from denying its actual presence as an ideal person. The corporate powers conferred by the act of Congress by impll- cation necessarily confer the correlative rights of suing and being saed. If it has the right vo hold property, the right of defending and protecting its property by suit 1s but an incident to the right of ownership. The case is heard here on tne question of jurisdiction reserved by an exception taken by the company tothe ruling below. ‘The answer, on the merits, Was that the injuries to the plaintiff were not in consequence »of any Want of care or skill on the part of the road, its officers, agents or em ployés, but were owing to an tnevitable accident, caused by the extraordinary pressure of govern- ment business upon the road tu order to supply General Sheridan with requisite troops, munitions and materials of war in order to enabie lim to carry on What Was Known as his Valley campaign in the fall of 1864.

Error to the New York Court of Appeais.—The plaintifts in error in February, 1856, conveyed to one Jacobs the whole of the schooner Stella, and he, on the same day, executed a mort- gage on her to secure pas of the purchase money. She was, at the time of the mortgage, and before, a regularly enroiled and licensed vessel, and was atthe same time, and up to the time of commencement of suit, engaved in business and commerce between porcs and places in different States and Territories of the United States, upon the Western lakes and waters connecting them, At the date of the mort- gage the schooner was lying 1 port, at Chicago, where her owner resided. On the ist of March, 1856, she was insured by the defendant In error, at the request of Jacobs, and his promissory note was taken for the premium; and on the 22d of March per- mission was given to the assured to assign to the plaintioa in error the policy of lasurance, and it was endorsed on the policy that the assignment was made to secure, im case of loss of tie schooner by any of the pers insured, the amount of the morigage. In December of the same year the schooner, being at the port of Buffalo, was attached at the suit of ihe defendant in error as the property of Jacobs, a non-resident, to recover the amount of the premium note made for the insurance. Upon this statement of facts the In- surace Company claimed that the mortgage of the plaintiffs in error could not be set up as against the attachment, but was void a4 against it, and that they were entitied to judgment, declaring the lien of the attachment to be paramount to that of tne mortgage; and upou the facts as stated an amicanie suit Was instituted under the statute, which was tried in the Superior Court of Buffalo, and resulted in favor of the company, sustaining their attach. ment lien, Upon appeal to the General Term of the Court the judgment was adirmed; and again an appeal to the Court of Appoaia, the State courts appearing to have concurred in the view that the schooner was a domestic vessel belonging withia the limits of the State of Illinois, and subject to her sta- tutes, which were made to control the decision. ‘The plaintitfs in error sist here that a mortgage executed to secure a part of the purchase money of anenrolled and licensed vessel under the laws of the United States and duly recorded according to act of Congress, is valid as against the creditors of the owner or subsequent grantees, without reference to State iaws or limits. Such a vessel ts a vessel of the United States and ta subject exclusively to the laws of Congreas. Anenroiled American vessel does not belong to any State bat to the territory of the United States, and is within the federal regulations of commerce under the constitution. Submitted in the printed points of Robert Rae, for plainufts in error; no appearance for defendant in error. The following paragraph w furnished by Jud, Paschal as @ correction of the misstatement of the subject recently published in the case of Texas vs. George Peabody & Co., filed by Judge Paschal. ‘The facts charged are that in 1862 the Milltary Board of Texas appointed Jon M. Swisher to sell 900 of the Texas Indemnity bonds in Europe; that Droege & Co. were employed by Swisher to elect the sale; that 149 of these bonds were offered to George Peabody & Co,, Who detached the coupons and sent them to New York for redemption, concea! Ing the fact that the bonds were not endorsed by the Governor of Texas; that these coupons were cashed by the Assistant Treasurer at New York on presen- tation by Dabney, Morgan & Co., whereupon George Peabody & Co, purchased the 149 bonds, but afterwards enjoined the money in the hands of Droege & Uo, on the ground that the circular of Mr. Cnase had given notice that these unendorsed bonds would not be paid; that in Ov- tober, 1866, the bonds were redeemed and the money paid to Dabney, Morgan & Uo. for George Peabody & o.; that all the parties had notice of the necessity of the endorsement and of che rene! purposes for which the bonds were being used. ‘The remaining 161 bonds are still in the hands of Drooge & Uo. The amount involved 1s $350,000 in gold. George Pea- body & Vo., Dabney, Morgan & Vo. and broege & Co, are made paruies. The motion for process will be heard on Friday.

Sanguinary Battle in Tenncsseo—Several Ver- sons Killed and Wounded. (From the Memphis Avalanche, Oct. 16,} On last Sunday night, in Lincoin county, m this State, was perpetrated one of those deeds of blood, the recital of which makes the bair siand on end, ‘The tragedy originated, as many of them do, In women, The history of tne event is peculiar. ‘Two men, pamed Baugn and Holloway, beiongug in Lincoln county, near Hik river, went into Ala- bama some months ago and took away a good look- ing, loose young woman named Pye. She lived in the neighborhood of Scrouge Cuurch, ia northern Alabama, and had been, in company with two others, great favorites with acircie of young scamps, Baugh and Holloway lured away Miss Pye from these young fellows, and brought her into the Pea Riage section, where they trotted her round, The young fools of Scrouge Church cross roaus were much incensed at the taking away of their lavorite girl and vowed vengeance. ‘Three montas passed and the affair was begin- ning to wear out of their minds, when the two me who had spirited away the woman Pye made tneir a@ppearance again in the neighborhood of Scrouge Church, The young fellows became aware of tie fact, and turniog out im great force after dark they scoured the couatry and captured the two 0o- noxious chaps in a wood and wiipped them severely and let them go. Of course this led to the cultiva- tion of bad bivod. Baugh and Hoiloway made the lest of their way to Pea Ridge, and, placing tiem- selves under the care of the girl Pye, she nursed them until their sores were heaied over and they were again tit to go onthe “warpath.” They proceeded to the south bank of Elk river and commenced dring into the house of @ person named Kiedsve, wuose sons had taken part in the whipping. They pepvered the housg pretty freely and made things lively there for @ time. Old Bledsoe returned the fire and compelied the besiegers to retreat. Finding they could do but little tn that direction, they gave up the idea of inflicting punisnment just then, but con- ciuded to await another opportunity. On their way back they unfortunately encountered one of Bied- soe's men, and they tinmediately commenced opera- tions upon him. Putting their pistols to his bosom, they compelled him to go on his knees and repeat after them tne following formul “lm a lousy dog; | beg your pardon for taking part in the whipping in Daby’s room; I bave no claim to the girl Pye; se 14 too good for such as H { promise never to have anything to do with her; I’m @ mean cur and @ sun of a —.” After this they let him go home. Some days after- wards both Baugh and Holloway got into company With a stilt hunier, feliow Wuo Was acting as United States Revenue agent. ‘hey visited several places and drank freely, and in the night time, while riding through the woods shouting and cursimg they folind themseives in the neighborhvod of Scrouge church and surrounded by a crowd of bushwhackers, who commenced firing on them. ‘hey returned the fire and for a few minutes the dark woods rang with the sound of cracking rifles and of human voices raised high in blasphemy. The fring lasted as long aa there Was ammunition, and when it wes over it was found that Baugh and folioway wer: sioi— actually riddied with buliets—their hor-c- pretty liberally perforated also, and the three Unitcd States men who were with them had their cloihiig holed, but escaped with whole hides. Besides these casu- alties there were four of the attacking party hurt oy bullets also. Another Desperate Fight in Tcnnessce—Two Men Killed. (From the same payer.)

An event that occurred at La Grange last Satur- day illustrates tne trath of this, Two geutiemen, named respectively Witherspoon and King, cherished @ grudge and an ill feeling some months’ growth in their bosoms, and they met on the-aboye- named day, in the above named lituie town, as we are informed, Mean whiskey, of which there seems to be no lack anywhere, fanned tag faimes which giared tn the rival breasts, They met ata barroom, and with that sinister leer upon eacn lip that telis ab once of scorn, hate and bivody passion, they asked each other to drink, both thinking tat the other would refuse, and ius furnish @ pretext for begin. ning the scene. Neither refused; both arank, ‘They drank again, and tor @ little time things appearea even to the predetermined pair that peraaps there would be no figit this time. Taey were, iowever, mis- taken in that, for words of bitverness and recrim- nation came tb and fast from ther maudlin mouths, and the fight began. It is represented as terrific. both men drew their, pistols simultaneously and fired on the insta Witherspoon escaped unhurt, while King shot through the stomach. Pistols were cocked again, and again King was shot turough the arm, his own pistoi missing tire, He, however, prepared his weapon and made @ hasty ackempt to fire tt out, but it missed. He thea slung tt away and made a rash Witherspoon. The jatter stepped outside and fred again, but missed King and struck a young man named Branciford in the eg. King coniinued to advance upon Witherspoon, and. having forced him Into a store, he knocked him down, wrenched the pist ol from his hand and beat him over tue face with it til his nose was broken in, the teeth ail bat- tered down his throat aud his eyes gouged out. lo fact, his face was a perfect jeily, and he was consid- ered dead. By this time King was so lar gone from the effect of his wounds that he fell back and fainted ‘on the floor, and Witherspoon lay like a corpse. 1ue physicians 6ay that Lolth men must uecessarily die irom the fearful wounds they received.
