THE COURTS. Important Litigation Arising from » Censign- mentof Wheat—What Constitutes Possession snd Ownership—Bills of Lading end Drafte of Sele and Purchase— Decision of the Court. ‘The Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Com- Py vs, David Dows and Others.—This case, which has cecupied the attention of Judge Shipman in the United States Circuit of this district for the last ten days, presents interesting questions of commerctat law, which wilt render it a precedent in future cases of a similar Kind. The case arose Out of the following facts:—In September, 1860, the frm of A. F, Smith & Co., then doing business at Oswego, N. ¥., wrgte and telegraphed to their cor- Fespondents, Oliver & Hart and George I. Jones & Co., of Milwauxee, to buy and simp for them two cargoes of No, 2 Milwaukee wheat, and to draw on the Merchants’ Bank of Watertown, N. Y., for twenty per cent margin and the balance at thirty days. On the reeetpt of these communications Oliver & Hart and George I. Jones & Co. purchased two cargoes of wheat and shipped them by the schooners ‘thomas Parsons and Atmosphere from Milwaukee to Oswego. Oliver & Hart and Georgs I. Jones & Co. paid for the wheat out Of thelr own money. They took the Dills of lading deliverable for the account and to the order of the plaintiffs and presented trem to it, with the draits attached. The plaintiff discounted both drafts and paid the proceeds to Oliver & Hart and George I. Jones & Co. The plaintiff! then remitted the bilis of lading and the dra{ts te the Merchants’ Bank at Watertown enclosed in letters as folows:— 'e enclose for collection, for our credit, drafts on A. PF. Smith & Co, for $19,462 74 and for $14,472 15, with bills of lading for wheat per the sefioonéers ‘Thomas Parsons and Atmosphere, which property you will hold for our account ttl! payment oi the Grafts.” On receipt of this letter, with the drafts and bills of lading, the Merchants’ Bank at Water- town notified A, F. Smith & Go. that the drafts. had come forward and requested pay- ment of the sight drafts and acceptance of the time Grafts. Simultaneously with the present- mens of the drafts for payment and accept. ance the Merchants’ Bank, at Watertown, wrote to A. F. Smith & €o., who were engaged m business at Oswego, both as commission mer- chants and as proprietors of the Corn Exehange elevator, as follows:—“Enelosed pleased find an order to deliver to you the cargoes of tire achooners Thomas Parsons and Atmosphere, No. 2 Milwaukee Spring wheat, consigned to us by D. Ferguson, cashier, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and to be held by You tor us until the following drafte are "a Then followed a memorandum of the drafte, delivery orders sicleed, in this letter, which ‘eae sent to A. F, Smi Co., were ad‘ressed to the captains of the ie &chooners, and were as fol- lows :—“ Dear Sir—Please deliver your cargo of No. 2 Milwaukee Sprin; hel nagh in the Corn Exchany Gore Oswego, Y., for the account o: D. mm, cashier, subject to the order of this pene On the arrival of the schooners at Oswego these delivery orders were presented to the Fe spective captains by A. F, Smith & Co., wh received the wheat and stored it in their elevator. Within a few days after storing tne wheat, A. F. Smith & Co. shipped the same mro various canal boats, and took Ceres bilis of lading therefor, and sent such bills jaatag, with drafts for the value of the wheat, to the fendants, who, on receipt of the bills of lading, a counted the draits and remitted the proceeds to A. F, Smith & Co. Before the matarity of the time dratts sent forward by the eee, A. F. Smith & Co. had faiied, and the plaintity, discovering that the wheat on the schooners had been received by the defendants, demanded ita return, which the defendants refused, and thereupon this action was brought against the defendants for the value of the wheat on the ground of its conversion by em. ‘The defendants contended upon the trial:— Firt—That by the transactions between A. F, Smith & Go. aud Oliver & Hart and George 1. Jones & Co. ‘the late rims had agreed to a sale of wheat on credit and to a aeuve lvery ¢ Seti asia to A. F. Smith & Co. before the pay- Sart tothe tts a Smith & Co. in the disposition on ofthe Mies Third Pawan the Matnd teae teem vient by the ¢ Merchants Bank at Wa hands and posseasion of A. ¥. smith & Co. ested that firm with the legal title to the whe heat and ood title to the defendant ‘That the defendants having received the wheat tng good faith, a5 without any knowledge of the defect im ithe title thereto of A. F. Smith & o., were not liable to the pac tor its Fyih—that ander the the provisions of what is known as the Factors’ act ny defendant's title was protected against the claim of the plaintiff. At the close of the plaintiffs’ case the defendants offered in evidence the canal boat bills of lading, ‘with the drafts attached, and offered to prove pay- ment of the draits. The Sag lead objected to this evidence upon the grounds that prior to the date of the canal boat bills of lading the plaintim had acquired title to the wheat; that such title had never been parted with; that the whoat had never bed n legally i delivered into the possession of A. F. », and that A. F, Smith & Co. had oS oa right to ship the wheat on board of therer Boats or to receive canal boat bills of ‘lading efor. r the discassion of this objection His Honor aeage ‘Shipman decided in substance a8 follows :— a pie FOR PLAINTIFF BY ORDER OF THB COURT.

Drowning of an Eccentric Itinerant at Newburg—Fiis Dody Weighed Down by Curiously Original Money Safes. Newsunrg, N. Y., Nov. 30, 1872. A man named Abram Halsteaa, @ travelling chair mender, was drowned this morning by fallmg from the wharf at the :oot of Fiith stree: into the Hudson. Efforts were made to save him, but he did not rise to the suriace after entering the water. The cause of ms sudden disappearance from the view of those who were veady to aid him was probably the weight of metal which he carried on his person. Round his waist were three stout chains, to which were attached about a dozen metallic pouches or boxes, im which he carried his money, each chain being fastened by a padlock. A couple of slangshots and several other weighty articles were found in his clothing, the entire load of metal being sufficient to sink him to the bottom of the river. In the Metallic boxes secured to his person in the manner ges were sums of money amounting in all to $4l 7 HATATEAD rary at the station house !ast night ana tnformea the omcers that he was subject to fits, and that several times, when attacked by thesé when on the way trom Rondout to Poughkeepsie he haa been robved. ‘To guard against future plunderings he had caused the chains and pouches to be mude, which secured his money safely enough against unsympathetic scalawags, who had no respect for fits, but which proved to be unlucky appendages when their owner fell into the river. THE REMAINS were recovered by means of grappling irons, after about half dn hour's submersion, when lile was, of course, extinct. INQUEST was held by Coronet! Namie! Gibb. The testimony showed that Geceased Was a resident of Ellenville, Ulster county; his father is a farmer, residing at New Paltz, same county; that deceased was sub- ject to atta ks of tempofary insanity as well as to epileptic fits. Deceased has friends living in New York and Poughkeepsie. The verdict of the jur, tf ‘was to the effect that ne came to his death by ace! dental drowning whilé laboring under temporary | insanity.

MeCroskery: THE FAIR FOLLY IN SAN FRANCISCO. y a A Street Full of Sensation HunterseThe Hi Doors Closed Ag: it am Excited Multitude. {From the San Francisco Republican, Nov, 22.) Notwithstanding the fact that the lessees of Platt’s Hall had made public announcement that under no circumstances would that building be opened for any purpose last night, before seven o'clock the pensation seckers began to gather in front of the hall, and soon animmense crowd ob- structed the street in front of the building. Some actually supposed that the “Fair one with the golden locks’? would lecture in any event, or at-_ tempt to, and as they had alreaay purchased their tickets of admission they desired to obtain the worth of their money. Others gathered around ready to pick up avy fun that might be floating about, or to engage in a row if necessary. Some appeared very anxious for an opportunity to hoot artis, Fair, and they became so ridiculously otfen- sive as on two or three occasions to hoot at passin, ladies, snyoune the object of their hate an sight. derision to THE CHIEF OF POLICB was asked by a messenger irom Mrs. Fair to send her an escort to guard her passa; from her Kearney street residence to the hall, in order that she might make a demand for admission and thus lay the toundation Jor a claim for damages against the prop rietors. The Chief could not see the thing int ay and did not think proper to make the force under control instruments to aid parties in getting up civil suits. He also appeared to think that Laura D. had already given the city authorities sufficient trouble. THE BLONDE DR. ADONIS, with flowing locks, who had been the Fair's mes- bon er on this errand, reported progress to his mistress, who then sent him upon a mission to the nts of the hall. The bold Doctor, without a aipioma, valtantly wended his way to the agent, and on Vehalf oi his ladye Fair demanded admit- tance, which demand was refused. The crowd around the hall, peeing cae there was to be no lecture nor other fun, dispersed, chafing each other as they went and offering their admission tickets at half price. Meanwhile a crowd had gathered on Kearney street in order to pay their devotions to the lovely Fair when she should make her appearance en route to the lecture room. When they learned that she would not proceed thither because the ungal- lant Chief of Police had refused to provide her with @ body guard they gave that ofl the benefit of @ few unearthly groans.

In general terms, it appears that the army mvalid roll costs about one-third, while the widows and dependent Toll coat two-thirds of the total annual cost of pensions, LOSSES TO ROLL. ‘The total losses to the roll have been 9,104, di- vided among the different classes as follows :—Frem ‘the invalid roll, by reason of death, recovery from disability, &c., 2,281; from the widows and depen- dent roll, by death, remarriage and expiration of minor’s peusion, 6,097; from roll of by death, SPECIAL INCREASE CAs!

There are 64,092 suspended claims in the Land Warrant Office. ‘The Commissioner earnestly recommends that the third section o/ the act of May 14, 1856, be so ameniled as to preclude acceptance of "parol testimony, which is entirety unsupported by record evidence, in cases of bounty land.

It aj rs that in the peng itoR 2,688,523 soldiers served, Ol these only about or but little over six per cent, have yet mane claims for pension. The Inaximam of invalid clatms was reached In 1866, immediately upon the close ol the war. There- alter there was a jual decrease In the reccipt of claimstill the year 1869, when the percentage again increased, and at present exhibite lo murked diminution; and as the fountain of supply fs so large, it is but reasonable to suppose that the receipt of clatms made yearly wili not vary materially for several years to conie. The maximum of widows, minors and depen- aent relatives’ claiins was Teached in 1868, and tiie ratio of decrease since that period has been ex- ceedingly regular. Alter presenting at some length all the cause operating to increase and decrease of the pension rolis, the Commissioner says :— “It is not probable that any causes will operate to materially reduce the rolls or the expenditures during the next four years, while morte liberal leg- the war of | islation may increase both; and it is safe bo pre- dict that the amount required: for pensioners jor several years to come will approximate, if not ox- ceed, $30,000,000 annually, @ bavo reached the apex of the mountain, but it presents a piain of considerable extent, where there Will be little fluc- tuation for several years, “The annual increased liberal legislation has fully kept pace with the natural yearly losses, as wit- nesses the act of February 14, 1871, which during tht first year far exceeded the losses’; and the act of June 8, 172, which added an amount of $760,000 per annum to the rolls, without increasing ‘the number of pensioners. All estimates, therefore, of a decrease of the pension roils will be mere specu- lation #0 long as Congtess continues to materially change the basis of pension. FRAUDS AND SPECIAL INVESTIGATION.

It is useless to speculate as to the extent of the frauds, butlam of opinion that their magnitude has been greatly exaggerated. So jar as the possibility of fraud exists in the In- valid branch, a remedial measure might be found for future use inthe more accurate and ¢xtended record of the soldier while in the service. The Prussian record est follows the soldier through camp, field and hospital with a pertinacity and thoroughness which leave little or nothing to be provided jor by parol evidence.’ In our system the record of the soldier is too meagre at best, and during the late war the hospital records were illy kept, very. eae A as the experience of the ofiice hows, go indefinite as to be ages Wortaless in determining the origin and aracter of the. alleged pen- sionable disability; hence the law authorizes @ resort to parol evidence, which is adduced to sustain the claim, possibly Sits a(ter the events in which disability was incurred have passed away.
