Pecisions in Admiralty Cases—Toins Land Titles—Appenis Not Barred by Clerical Omissi Wasainaton, Dec, 12, 1870, ‘The following decisions were made to-day in the Supreme Court:— No. 68. Clarke ana Buckeye Mutual Insurance Company vs, the steamer Admiral Farragut, Ap- peal from the Circuit Court sor the Southern District of Minots.—The steamer was libelled for Causing the destruction of the canal boat Ajax, while in tow by her down the Illinois river on a voyage te St. Louis. The Court Delow found that the loss was occastened by the Colirsion of the canal boat with the bridge spanning the against which it was forced by & stron; diagonal current. The less was, therefore, charge vo the unavoidable dangers of navigation, aud the libel was dismissed. The appellant insisted that the @teamor had no special lookout, but the Court held that there was @ sufficient lookout and that the absence of a 3) one had nothing to do with the accident, which, it is said, was occasioned by the violence of the cross current due te the great height of waver in the river at the time, Mr. Justice Brad- ley del vered the opinion of the Court No, 69. Harrick, Administrator, vs, Neeley et at. Error to the Circuit Court sor the Western District of Texas.—This was an action of trespass to try title, under the local practice of Texas, te a tract of land in Falls county, of that State. On the trial the Court excluded a certain deed offered in evidence In deviation of title, on the ground that, ea it was made and delivered in pursuance of a de- cree of the United States District Court for the Kast- ern District ef Texas, the decree Was necessary to support the deed, and without proof of it the decd gould not be received. ‘This Court holds that, as the fee of lands was in the vendor, and as the power of his attorney to sell for him was plenary, the decree of the court of justice was not necessary to its e1- ployment. ‘The Court below erred, therefore, in ex- cluding the deed, and the judgment is revised aud a new trial ordered. Mr. Justice Davis delivered the @pinion of tue Court, Cases Nos, 10—Pendergast et at. vs. Steamship Kalorama, ana 7, Pendergast et al.vs. Steansnip General Custer, Appeals Jrom the Circuit Court for the District of Maryland—were libels to Tecover for advances on the credit of the steamers to procure the necessary repairs and supplies, The District Court sustained the libels, but on appeal to the Cir- cult the decrees were reversed and the libels dis- missed. The appellants insist that there was an ex- press agreement for liens as security for the ad- ‘Vances, and that a stipulation which was made that they should insure their disbursements means that They should insure thelr lens on the ships for such disbursements. In no other zense could they be in- sured, This Court sustains the view of the appei- Jants and reverses the decrees of the Circuit, re- manding the causes to that Court with directions to enter decrees aiirming the decrees of the District Court, Mr. Justice Ciidord delivered the opinion. No, 217. The United States vs, The Hetrs of Vigu. Appeal Jrom the Supreme Court of the Ter- rivoru of New Mexico.—Motion was made to ats- ‘miss the appeal in this case, on the ground that it ‘Was not taken within one year from the date of the Judgment, The answer of the government was that appeal was prayed for at the time the judgment was rendered, but, by a clerical omission, no entry Was made of it on ihe minutes. The Court, review- Ang this And various other irregularities suggested, Bnd that the prayer for an appeal was made by the District Attorney, as alledged, and that there ts no ground for dismissing the appeal and the motion is denied. Mr. Justice Nelson delivered the opinion of the Court. No. 56. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti- more Ratiroad Company vs, Trimble et al. Error to the Circuit Court sor the District of Maryland,— Tnis suit was bronght by the defendants in error to recover damages for the allege infringement of the ; ‘Howes patent for the construction of triss frames of bridges, to which they claimed titie as assignees for certain States and districts, The trial resulted in a verdict and judgment tor he plaintiffs, and the railroad company brought the case here, ‘insisting that the Court erred in refusiug to instract the jury mm accordance with several prayers submitted by them affecting the title of the assignees. This Court finds no error 11 the secord and alilrms the judg- ment. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the opinion ef the Court, No. 66. Herndon vs, Howard et at. Appeal from the Circuit Court Jor the Western District of Texas,— A motion was made to dismiss this appeal, on the ground that the decree im the case was a joint decree against Herndon and one Maverick, while Herndon alone appeals.

SUPREME COURT—3PECIAL TERM. Another Stock Speculation and Litigation. Before Judge Barnard, Frank 8 Bond vs, John J. Cisco, Samuei B. Smith et al.—The plaintif’ sued the defendants on two causes of action. He alleged that the defend- ants were directors of the Clifton Lron Works, and that as such directors they published a report with regard to the possessions of ihe company and their value, and the quantity of ore extracted, and the capacity of the mine which they alleged they wore working, and as tu the equipment with which they bad furnished the mine and the facilities which they had for transporting the ore to & ready market, The plaintiff, relying upon such reports, purcliased of the defendant Smith a large quantity of the stock of the company, and paid therefor in cash. Upon investigation he alleges that he ascertaimed that the statements contained in the report were fictitious, that the stock was worthless, and that inasmuch as he had been deceived by the report he was entitled to recover the amount wiuch he had paid for ihe stock srom the defendants, who had authorted the report. He further alleged that the company, beng in heed of money, issued a@ circular to the stock. holders, invitimg them to subscribe for bonds, and agreeing that no Buvscript.on should be valid unless the full sum of $200,000 should be actnaliy subserited by bona tide parties; that the defendants caused the said subscription to be signed in the name of the | company for $25,000, and that in fact only $152,000 was ever subscribed; tat the deiendants sup- pressed the knowledge of this deficiency in the sSubsorption from the plamtit, aud demanded received from him $10,609 on his subscription; that he subsequently ascertained the Jact that tne said subseription had never been fuily flied, and he therefere demanded the return of his money from the defendants, whe had received it, The defendants demurred to each enuse of action in the complaint, upon tne gronnd that the same did not state facts suiicient to consutute a cause of | action, and that they were vot liable upon either of the grounds alleged by the plaintut, ‘The case came on for argument betore his Honor Judge Barnard, aud was tela by hum under advise- ment; and he yesterday filed his opinion overruing the demurrer, with costs.

Armstrong & Co, were Wall street brokers, This money was procured in May, 1866, on a certilied check. It was claimed for the plaintifs that the money was given upon frandulent representation of _ partntr- ship, the first-named defendant being de- clared @ partner in the firm, and upon which declaration the check was certified. The de- fence was that Pentston was never o partner in the firm and that no fraudulent represcutations were made.

The defendants story waa that # twenty dotlar bill disappearing while his head waiter left the desk, and suspecting plaintif he asked him to step across the street to see a gentle- man; took him to a detective office without compul- sion; that he was tasre asked some questions, plain- tu denying the theft, amd there the matter ended.

Ecclesiastical Scandal—Action for Slander. Before Judge Joachimsen, Peter F. Jones vs. Jay L, Backus.—The plaintiff in this case was, for twenty years previous to the 14th December, 1869, a minister ef the Gospel in the Bap- tist denomination snd was for several years engaged a3 preotor in the city of New York. After all these years of ministering in the Baptist fold plainuif con- cluded to clese his connection with the denomina- tion and te enter the fold of the Presbyterian Church, which he did on the 14th day of December, 1869, Previous to this, in the month of November, he was employed by the Seamen's Friend Society to supply the pulpit of the Seamen’s Bethel, in the city of Buffalo, in this State, Here he remained #ome time, enjoying the contidence and esteem of the society, and of the peopfe attending upen the services held theroin; that in the month of Novem. ber the defendant in a conversation with the Rev. Samuel H, Hall used the slanderous words, the greund of the present action; these were, in sub- stance, that he (plaimtif) “ts @ deposed minister of the Kaptist denomination, and lost his ecclesiastical standing therein; that he had been tried in Ver- mont by some superiers in the Baptist churehes tn that State and that he was unworthy of the confl- dence and fellowship of the Baptist churches.” Plaintiff claims that incensequence of these defama- tory and slanderous words he lost his position of chaplain to the Seamans’ Bethel im Buffalo, to his great loss and deiriment, financially and morally, and now claims therefor damages to the amount o For the defonce it Is set forth that the supposed defamatory words in the complaint set forth are and were true of the plaintiff, and that the words charged against bim in substance were used In answer to thquirtes made of him by Rey, Semuel H. Mall, and im contidence, without malice and. beliey- ing the same to be true. the principal witness was Dr. Hall, who testified that he had made inquiries of the defendant as to the moral status of the plainti in connection with his contemplated change to the chaplaincy of the Seamen's Bethel, and if he was a minister in good standing in the Baptist denomination. upon which oc- casion he made use of the words charged against him inthe alleged stander. Dr. Hall, Ip reply to a question as te whether tt was not in consequence of the words used by Dr. Backus that the plaintiff was re- moved from his temporary chaplaincy of the Bethel, said that those words, in connection with otner In- fommedion previously received ny him on the same subject—of plaintif’s ecclesiastical standing in the Baptist Church—had that effect. His belief, how- ever, was that even without the inquiries mide by him of the defendant and his reply, that the plaintiff would not have deen continued tn his chaplaincy. Two other witnesses were examined for the com- plainant, Whose tesiimony was merely corroborative of Mr. Hi S to tlie reflections cast by the defend- ant on the ecclesiastical standing of the plaintif’ in the Presbyterian denomination.

COURT OF APPEALS. AuBany, N. Y., Dee, 12, 1870, ‘The following is the Court of Appeals day caiendar for December 12:—Nos, 58, 8, 96, 98, 99, 102. A KENTECKY CATALONE, The Crampling Skeletons of Ton Human Beings Discovered in a Cave, {From the Glasgow (Ky.) Times.) One day last week a party of hunters chased a fox mto a cave about five miles from this place, on Seaver creek, near the residence of Rev. Wiillam Neal, They eutered the cave, and exploring it found a number of human bones in a small c! mn. ‘The cave, which is about twenty paces Lo the right of the Columbia road, on the hillside just beyond jeaver creek, 18 entered through a chasm 10 the arth, which has solid reck walls. At the depth of twenty feet two ave e3 lead off, one to the right the other to the left; these avenues are large, easy of access, and have been often explored. in neither of them, however, have human remains been found, or anything of aa unusual character discovered. But, in the right or soutaern avenue, ther: a small fissure In the rock that leads off in an eastern divection, just large enough to admit the vedy of a man, The fissnre, wich is about twenty feet in ength and is passed through with the utmost dim. culty, leads to a small, oblong chamber, eighteen tect in length and about twenty feet trom floor to ceiling. Save the tortuous figstre by which access 18 gained to this mysterious chamber there is no visible outlet nor evidence of onc ever having es isted. The walls and ceiling are almost literally composed of solid rock, covered with the formauous peculiar to the caves of this section ef country. It ts in thisanysicrious little chamber that the re- mains alluded to were found—these of at jeast ten human beingsin all. Uheree skulls were found ex. fees above the surface, and on each Were was a imestone formation, produced by the dripping of water from the ceiling above. Near the centre or the chamber seven skulls, wilh almost every bone that composes the human anatomy, were found—some protruding from the surface and others as deep down aa cighteen inches. some pe: fectly sound aud others so much decayed that the would not admit of removal. There Was no ord or reguiurity in the arrangement of the remains, tor in one insta jess than a foot of each other. Nothing remains, or could be discovered, save the hones, the clothing and flesh having long ,sinee rotted away, and thus destroyed every evidence of identity. No citie has been or is ever likely to be obtained to unravel the mystery that shrouds this sublerra- neau chamber of the dead, and thus far ail seem to be lost in conjecture ang wonderment. Beyond question, however, this cave must have been used by the robbers and murderers who infested this section of country in early days as a piace of deposit for thelr murdered victims, ita situation, the entrance being concealed, yet within twenty-five paces ef the Columbia ‘road, much traveller in early days; the security of this litde eastern chamber trom invasion even should the main cave be entered, taken tn connection with the fact that no human beings—not even the aborigines—would have seught a place so dificult ofacctess for the simple burial of the dead, or de- posited the remains with se little regard to order— all these considerations lead us vo the belief that the bones unearthed m this dim-vaulted sepulcre are the remains of unfortunate victims of crime, Withm a few days past we have heard of a number of per- sons—mestly Lrtelh | Jortudin many years ago disap- peared wile in this section of country. and were never afterward heard of. One instance is remem- bered where a horse and buggy, belonging toa traveller frem Virginia, were found loose upon the road near this cave, its owner missing and never heard from, THs Larg General. Ropert FE. Lex.—There has been a good deal of discussion as to General Lee's middle name, Tie following letter, received by Mr. W. M.
