SALISBURY & CO., - Proprietors.
Dudley Selph came out fifth in the
general scramble for the championship at
Creedmoor.
Evabts and Cnrtis are both talked of
for Senator to succeed Senator Conkling.
But as long as Cornell can hold on to the
Naval Office Conkling will probably be
able to keep a'grip on his place.
Since the Plimsoll act went into opera
tion in England, in 1876, 104 vessels have
been detained in their wharves and exam
ined. Of these “floating ooffins,” 101
were found to be unsafe in still water.
Randall fob Speaker.—Hon, Julian
Hartridge, Congressman from the Savan-
nah district, has written a strong letter
favoring Randall for Speaker. His argu-
ment presents itself in forcible form to
Southern men.
The removal of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary from Greenville, S.
C., to Louisville, Ky., was effected daring
the summer. The Baptists, of Kentucky
have offered .1300,000 to endow it. About
sixty students have already entered.
The Houston (Texas) Age is furious
over the speeches of Postmaster General
Key. It says: “We spit him out; we
spurn and loath the crop-eared craven;
the foul, unclean buzzard, who pollutes
the eagle’s eyrie. Let him stay with his
stench in the habitation of his master.”
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland has
5 synods, 36 presbyteries, 559 congrega
tions, 639 ministers, 78,445 families, and
107,262 communicants. Sustentation
fund amounts to 1122,000, the total min
isterial income for the past year was $513,-
000. The average salary of the ministers
was 1870.
Democratic candidates for doorkeeper
of the House of Representatives are mul
tiplying. The last two mentioned are
Beaton Gales, of Raleigh, North Carolina,
aud a Mr. Payne, of Georgia. The first
is a nephew of Messrs. Beaton and Gales,
the editors of the old Washington Intelli
gencer, and Mr. Payne is a son of Bishop
Payne (Methodist Episcopal.) of Georgia.

English scientists are experimenting
with a new anaesthetic called chloride of
chinoline. Three grains of this substance
introduced into the circulation of a rab
bit, rendered the animal unconscious in
eight minutes, bnt the pulsation of the
heart continued and the breathing was
vigorous. The rabbit recovered after two
or three hours, and the experiment is
deemed highly successful.
At the final interview between Howard
and Joseph, before the latter took the war
path, Howard gave the Nez Perce the ul
timatum of going upon the reservation,
as his land was wanted; and when Joseph,
protesting that his tribe had been friendly
with the whites, and had kept the peace
in its ancestral valleys, declare that he
would not go upon the reservation. How
ard replied that the Great Father in
Washington “had soldiers enough to force
him on.” Thereupon, it is said, the In
dian answered: “White man says what
is not so; white chief tells lies.” It was
a shocking thing to say to the fraudulent
Christian soldier; but Joseph must now
begin to think it was just about true, that
there are not enough soldiers to drive him
on to the reservation.
The great American oyster has arrived
in London. The Times, which has been
introduced to our much respected shell
fish on its native strand, reports its arrival
in excellent condition. Several invita
tions to dinner from distinguished noble*
men, including the Prince of Wales, have
been sent it. The Lord Mayor of Lon
don will doubtless present the American
native with the freedom of the city, if not
eat him up with kindness entirely. The
cockneys cannot make him out. They
think he is some species of flounder or
jelly-fish. “My hies, Bill,” remarked a
gentleman in the costermongering inter
est to a friend on being informed that
these were American oysters, “wat blaws-
ted mouths these Hamericans must ’ave.”
“Ho, no!” replied his friend—a traveled
man—“they h’eats ’em in little bits, you
knaw.”
Gen. Grant’s Parting Request.—A
letter received in Washington from an
American gentleman now in London, al
ludes to a conversation had by the writer
with Gen. Grant on the subject of the
appointments of President Hayes. Gen.
Grant said that before he left the White
House, Governor Hayes asked him if
there were any of his friends that he
would like to be kept in office. He said
to Mr. Hayes that he did not wish to ins
terfere in any way with the distribution
of the executive patronage, but he would
esteem it a personal favor if two of his
friends, whom he mentioned, were re
tained in the positions occupied by them.
These were his brother-in-law, Rev. Mr.
Kramer, United Btates Minister to Den
mark, and Gen. Badeau, Consul General
at London. In consequence of this vol
untary offer on the part of President
Hayes, General Grant expressed his dis
belief in the current rumors that Messrs.
Kramer and Badeau were to be disposessed
by new appointees.
New York wholesale dry goods dealers
are enjoying a fair business and selling
more goods than last year, but, on ac
count of the reduction in prices, the
money receipts are about the same. On
the average, prices are from ten to twelve
per cent, less than last season. The vol
ume of trade from the Eastern and West
ern States is not much better than last
year, but the trade with the South is con
siderably larger. The latter trade is bet
ter than it has been since 1873. This is
due, says an exchange, to the facts that
the South has excellent crops, and that
daring the last lew years it has been
economizing more rigidly than the rest of
the country. The bountiful crops at the
West also make the outlook encouraging,
but are not especially favorable to trade
this autumn. The crops have not yet
been sold, and their growers, therefore,
are not supplied with unusual means for
buying goods. The opinion of the whole
sale dealers is that the general outlook is
favorable.
—The Hawkinsville Dispatch says that
that Mr. James Barnes, of Irwin connty,
recently drew two thousand five hundred
pine boards out of one tree. The boards
were three feet in length, very straight,
and of usual width. There is in Irwin a
▼ast supply of the finest pine timber in
the United States, but there is no trans
portation for it to market. J

Comptroller W. L. Goldsmith has re
ceived returns from all the officers of the
State. We find the totals reported in the
Constitution as follows : Polls, white,
123,915; colored, 83,900; defaulters, 6,857.
The increase on last year is 2,764 whites
and 544 blacks, while the defaulters on
poll taxes increase 2,428.
There are 1,255 lawyers and 1,607 doc
tors, 179 dentists, showing increases of
5 to 46 over last year.
Billiard tables number 125—14 more
than last year.
The number of hands employed are
107,827—9,516 more than in 1876, and
acres of unimproved land 28,781,390, be
ing an increase over last year of 48,851.
The*value is $87,182,996—a decrease of
$2,836,948. Wild lands are valued at
$1,700,518—$135,310 less than 1876
The declination m the return of lands in
twelve months is 607,826, while the total
valuation Is reduced $88,883,514—a de
orease of $2 972,858 from 1876.
City and town property in comparison
with 1876, has decreased $2,916,301—the
chief loss being at Savannah, on account
of yellow fever, while building and loan
associations are reported at the same,
$244,353.
Bank shares have diminished $717,061;
money and solvent debts, $3,949,199,

On the whole the statement is more
encouraging than was expected, the
shrinkage not being as much as generally
anticipated. The decrease is small com
pared with other States. Chatham county
shows nearly two millions of decrease,
owing to the heavy sconrge of last year.
Population is growing rapidly, white polls
alone showing a gain of 2,764. Officers
throughout the State have not done their
duty. The total commissions paid receiv
ers is 49,708—21,256 less than last year.
RATES IN ATLANTA.
Atlanta was in its glory yesterday. A
President who was not elected visited the
place. Gov. Colquitt spoke a lengthy
welcome. The report by telegraph oomes
crowded with “cheers, applause,” etc.,
but it is hard to find what was striking or
what was said to cheer, for his welcome
was abont as orderly a piece of common
place as has ever been our misfortune to
read. Stop the report of its [applause]
and [cheering] and [continued oheeriDg]
and the rest could have been greatly short
ened and improved by brevity. The
boys must have had good dram to put
them in such a good humor.
Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor, who
was a member of the International Jury
in the Philadelphia Exhibition, has made
a report to the French Government on
the subject of the arts in America. He
says that the American painters are
simply imitators in the main of the lead
ing schools of Europe, particularly of the
French school, and, in a less degree, of
the English and Dusseldorf; and that the
American sculptors have given themselves
up too much to the current of Italian art.
He concedes great excellence of work
manship to our manufactures of silver,
but says that it is frequently thrown
away “on a naturalism quite devoid of
art.” Our artistic hardware is common
place, both in design and execution.
Iron casting in the United States he
found far from equal to that in Europe,
as regards solidity and good taste. Our
locomotives and machinery in general are
overcharged with “loud” ornamentation.
He praises the way in which our wood
work is prepared and put together, but
asserts that our cabinet makers are prone
to seek striking effects “by the combina
tion of easily and cheaply worked de
tails.” He objects to our pianos and bil
liard tables, lands our dressing bureaus,
and says that we lay out so much work on
coffins that one would fancy the object
really was to make them comfortable.’’
With regard to architecture, his opinion is
that the French school predominates,
though, in the larger cities, there are
specimens of “all the edifices ever
erected ;’’ and he predicts that, “out of
the infinite number of American at
tempts at architecture, some must infalli
bly succeed, and do honor to the Ameri
can spirit of invention. ”
Organization of the Senate.
Washington Special to New York Tribune ]
Washington, September 16.—Senator
Ransom, of North :Carolina, emphatically
declares that the Democrats will not en
deavor to secure the organization of the
Senate by trickery or by any alliance with
dissatisfied carpet-bag Republicans. He
says the Democrats will surely obtain pos
session of the Senate in the regular course
of elections within a year, and that the
party would lose more than it could gain
by any such attempt. Now the Demo
crats who are planning the reorganization
of the Senate, place their reliance on
the supposed willingness of the
four alleged dissatisfied carpet-baggers,
Messrs. Conover, Dorsey, Patterson,
and Spencer, to co-operate with them in
this programme. One fact is overlooked
These four Southern Republican Senators
now have important chairmanships under
the reorganization of the Senate at the
Executive session last spring. These as
signments were: Patterson, Territories ;
and Conover, Eurolled Bills. These
chairmanships are much more important
ones than these Senators would be likely
to receive under any Democratic organi
zation of the Senate; the carpet-baggers,
if they remain true to their reputation,
are not the men to abandon the first-class
committees over which they now preside
for the almost certain chance of securing
less advantageous positions with the Dem
ocrats in power.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
WITH A VENGEANCE—THE OHIO CLERKS IN
TROUBLE.
Special Dispatch to Journal of Commerce.]
New York, Sept. 20.—The Post's Wash
ington special says: All the clerks from
Ohio have been obliged to sign a paper
agreeing to go borne and vote at the elec
tion next month under penalty of being
placed on the black list. This paper was
presented yesterday with the approval of
Secretary Sherman to every clerk in the
Treasury Department from Ohio, and not
one refused absolutely—although many
did so nnder protest that they were not
able to bear the expense of the trip with
out depriving their families of the neces
saries of life. There is very general com
plaint among the clerks that they are
compelled to disobey the order and some .
of them threatened to call the attention of
the President to the act of his snbordi- |
nate as soon as be returns.

mate of the dwelling, Mr. Miller (Mr.

discovering this large body of men in

The facts of a horrible attempt to commit
self -murder at Knoxville, is as follows :
Last Saturday night two yonng men
being actuated by enthusiasm on the sub
ject of religion, or being sorter how-
come-you-so, decided that the easiest
mode of getting nnder the daises was to
hang themselves. Getting everything
ready, they waltzed down to the M. E.
and Baptist churches, they being in close
proximity, and with as much sangfroid as
the preacher would seat himself in the
pulpit, they fastened the end of the bell-
ropes to their respective Decks. The
experiment not proving as pleas
ant as they fancied, they concluded to
wait awhile and try it some other time,
bnt so securely were the ropes fastened
that they found no little difficulty in ex
tricating themselves, and ere the hands of
the clock pointed to the first morning
hour, a tintinnabulation came floating np
through town, a din equal to which is
seldom heard. Some of the people ran
ont to see if there wasn’t a conflagration
in town; others ran ont so scared they
didn’t know what they went for; others
were afraid to leave their beds. Yonng
men, it was a lucky thing that those ropes
were thread-bare, and we advise yon not
to try it again, they may have new ropes
next time that might not break.

NEW JERSEY’S GOVERNOR NAMED
STORMY session of the democratic con
VENTION AT ^BENTON YESTERDAY—GEN
GEORGE B. M’CLELLAN NOMINATED WITH
THE GREATE8T ENTHUSIASM—A BRIEF BUT
PERTINENT PLATFORM.
Spioial Dispatch to the Philadelpia Times.]
Trenton, September 19
To-day witnessed the stormiest Guber
natorial Convention ever held in New Jer
sey. All night loDg the warring factions
were at work, and the air was fall of ru
mored coalitions, combinations and
schemes, by which some candidate was to
sweep the field and carry everything be
fore him. There was trouble everywhere,
and at noon to-day, the honr for the as
sembling of the convention, not
man of the one hundred and forty com
posing the Essex delegation was in
his seat. It was near 1 o’clock when the
temporary organization was effected. As
announced in last night’s dispatch, ex-
Chancellor Williamson was made chair
man, and upon reassembling at 2 o’clock
he was elected to preside over the perma
nent convention. The capacious par-
qnette and galleries of Taylor Hall were
packed to suffocation, and a breathless in
terest was manifested in all the proceed
ings. Ex-Chancellor Williamson made a
short, pointed speech, and then Judge
Ashbel Green stepped to the front and
read the following resolutions, which were
adopted enthusiastically:
First. The Democracy of the State of
New Jersey, in convention assembled, re
affirm the principles contained in the Na
tionai Democratic platform, adopted at
St. Lonis in 1876. We denonnee the
frauds and crimes by which our candidates
for President and Vice President are pre
vented from occupying the position to
which they were chosen by a decided ma
jority of the popular and electoral vote.
Second. We congratulate the support
ers of free government thronghont the
United States on the fact that even the
man who was placed in the Presidential
chair by means of these frauds and crimes
has found it necessary, in order to re
ceive the respect and. support of any por
tion of the American people, to adopt the
Democratic policy of local self-govern
ment in the Sonthern States, and to
abandon all farther devices to perpetuate
sectional jealonsies.
Third. The Democratic party, embrac
ing within its ranks all classes of onr citi
zens, the most of whom are workingmen,
believe that ail legislation should have for
its object the greatest good to the greatest
number. We oppose all special legisla*
tion for corporate or individual interests
at the expense of the people. We recog
nize the needs and sympathize with
the workingmen of the State in
the prevalent distress. We advise
the enactment of such legislation as will
enable ns to collect statistical information
relating to the interests of labor and capi
tal with a view to harmonize these inter
ests, and place onr industries upon a more
permanent and scientific basis.
Fourth. That honest toil and legitimate
business and the true basis of a nation’s
prosperity; that official salaries ought
never to be so high as to be sought after
for mere pecuniary gains; that salaries,
fees and costs have daring the past years
of Republican legislation been so largely
increased as to become absolutely bur-
thensome to the people; that the times de
mand and the necessities of the people
reqnire a radical redaction of all salaries,
fees and costs.
Fifth. The usury laws should be revised
and reformed, and six per cent, should
be restored as the uniform legal rate of
interest of the State, without impairing
the obligation of contracts.
Heedless of several indviduals who
wished to make themselves heard on
some abstrnse subjects, the chairman
ordered the call of the counties to pro
ceed for nominations. The Secretary
shouted the name of Atlantic, but her
delegation remained mate, they were
waiting for the others. Bergen, Burling
ton, Camden, Cape May and Cumberland
gave no sign and a ahont was made for
Easex. In two neat speeches she present
ed the names of William A. Righter and
John McGregor. The Secretary was pro
oeeding to the next county when from
the cavernous depths of the Essex dele
gation came a new voice. It was thin
and weak and no one a dozen feet off
conld tell who was the proprietor of the
same, bnt the excited delegates listened
and they heard the name of General
George B. McClellan. The entire con
vention went wild on the instant. The
air was full of hats, everybody was yelling
and stamping, and for five minntes
naught else was done. The portly
chairman borrowed a kickory cane
and went to hammering the music
stand at his side and the Sec
retary opened his mouth and shrieked
the name of the next connty m order, bnt
nobody heard them. Old Marshal Ryn-
ders looked aronnd at the madmen and
smiled as if the sight renewed his youth
Thomas Dnnn English lay back and en
joyed it. There is something wonderful
in the enthusiasm which the name of Me
Clellan always arouses among the Jersey
Democracy. David Dodd, formerly
member of the General Assembly from
Newark, is the man who has been riding
upon and directing the hurricane, and he
now sprang to his feet. He is short and
thick, with a red face, and a voice which,
when full steam is on, can be heard some
thing less than a dozen miles. “Mr.
Chairman,” he roared, “I am authorized
to say for General McClellan that he does
not consider that it would be just for him
to accept this nomination against the
many good men proposed, unless it should
become evident that true patriotism and
dnty to his party demand it. I am aware
that he is claimed as a citizen by nearly
every State in the Union, for the reason
that there is enough in him to fnrnish a
full man for each State, if he conld be
cat np and distributed. Bnt he is a citi
zen of New Jersey and has been for the
past thirteen yearB.” ,
When the excitement had somewhat
snbsided the roll call proceeded
Gloucester, as a matter of course, hoisted
the name of Judge Carter ; Hudson amid
much enthusiasm named Leon Abbett,
but even in that stronghold three votes
drifted away to McClellan; Hnnterdon
put forward John T. Bird, and Mercer
was the first to hoist the banner of John
P. Stockton, which was received with
great oordiality; Middlesex and Warren
rallied to McClellan. The ballot was
proceeding amid mnoh confusion when
the delegation from Ocean (eighteen in
number) went over in a body to the form
er commander of the Potomac. This
started the stampede and there was no
checking it. The counties followed
each other like sheep going over
a wall. Catching snoh names as he
conld the Secretary scratched ‘2760”
upon it, and a rubicund correspondent
held them np, showing that the nomina
tion was already secured to McClellan. At
the same time a large portait of the Gen
eral was displayed on the stage, and pan
demonium reigned supreme. A hiccough
ing individual in the gallery nominated
him for President, and Judge Naar joined
the chairman in hammering for order.
When it was partially secured the ballot
ing proceeded, with the following result:
Carter, 21; Stockton, 2: Abbett, 156; Mc
Clellan, 804. Then Dodd spoke a vocifer
ous piece and the disappointed Winfield
told the Convention that he feared they
had committed a blander, as he doubted
whether McClellan was a citizen of New
Jersey, but the Convention would listen

Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Atlanta, September 22.—Mr. Presi
dent: In behalf of the people of Georgia,
I bid you and yonr companions, the gen
tlemen and ladies present a oordial wel
come. [Applause.] We are in the habit
-of opening our hearts and our gates to
strangers who come among ns from be
yond our borders, and to us the virtue of
hospitality is its own exceeding reward.
Under any circumstances tbe hospitality,
of which, wejtrust [Georgians may justly
boast, would make the President of the
United States cordially welcome upon our
soil. [Great cheering.] Bnt you, sir,
come into onr midst not as a President
only. The great interest over whioh yon
preside, the stupendous power whioh yon
yield as chief magistrate, the dignity
whioh your name is invested
by that power—these are not the
sole ideas which move ns in this greeting
to-day [applausej; bnt most prominent
in onr minds, higher, greater than every
other distinction, is the character which
you illustrate [applause], as the peace
maker between brethren estranged. [Im
mense cheering.] It is enough to fill the
the measure of the loftiest ambition, to
remove fear and snspicion from the hearts
of twelve millions of people, yonr fellow-
citizens [great cheering], and restore to
them a sense of repose and security
under your administration. [Applanse.]
If the genins which brought together
forty millions of people in a fearful and
unhappy conflict, excited the attention of
the whole world, the moral purpose, the
firm will of the fortunate magistrate who
is first to control and calm the spirit
which raised this mighty conflict will at
tract the admiration and plaudits of all
men wherever good will among men is
known. [Great applause. ] How strange,
how passing'strange that men, brethren
of the same political heritage can differ
or doubt as to the beneficient effect of so
holy an undertaking. [Applause.]
We invite yon, Mr. President, to the
closest scrutiny. We are not mistaken.
We do not deceive ourselves, and we don’t
intend to deceive others, when we say we
are for peace and anion. We mean good
government. We mean to give a helping
hand to any and to all Who shall aid in
the establishment of constitutional gov
ernments, and in the restoration of fra
ternity between the States. [Applanse.]
The great moving cause of these hearty
demonstrations which have greeted yon
since yon reached Southern soil is to be
found in tbe generous confidence with
whioh yon believe what yon say, and yonr
magnanimous trust whioh will not exaot
cringing and servile gnarantees. [Ap
planse,]
Differ thongh we may in party, without
thinking of the complications of the past
or caring for them, we can assure yon of
the sympathy and support of this good
Commonwealth in yonr every effort to re
store peace and good will between the
citizens, people and States.
Again, sir, let me assure you of the joy
which your presence here gives. It is
our urgent desire to make yonr visit, and
that of yonr companions, pleasant while
yon stay with ns. In this Bpirit, and in
the name of the people, I welcome yon
and yonr noble wife [applanse] and these
gentle ladies and honored gentlemen to
the hospitality of the people of Georgia.
[Great applanse.]

THE TURKO-RUSSIAN WAR.
London, September 22.—The Daiy
Hews' correspondent telegraphs from t e
Russian headquarters, as follows: The
feeling here is not so gloomy as I expect
ed. The military men acknowledge they
have been beaten, but as much by their
own errors as by the bravery of the Tnrks.
There is not the slightest sign of hesita-
tion or weakening of the determination
to fight it ont. Everybody feels that it is
a death struggle, and the final successful
issue is not doubted for an instant. Every
preparation is being made for a winter
campaign.
SERVIANS GOING TO FIGHT.
London, September 22.—The Daily
Telegraphs dispatob, dated Pera, Friday,

the reported battle, although several have
correspondents both with the Czarowitch
and Mehamet Ali.
Constantinople, September 22.—Fur
ther intelligence concerning Mehemet
Ali’s victory yesterday, states that he at

for two days, between the Czarowitch and
Mehemet Ali. The Russians still hold
Brita.
Another report which is, however, so
far nnconfirmed, states that the Russian
headquarters here retired to Sistova. Os
man Pasha attacked the Grivaca redoubt
Thursday night, but was repulsed with
heavy loss.
Liability of Common Carriers.
Savannah, September 10, 1877.
Editor of the New York Journal of
Commerce : Pardon us for asking your
views upon a question which we believe
you have mainly answered before, but &t
the moment we cannot place our hands
upon it :
Among other stipnlations contained in
the body of a bill of lading^used by tbe
New York and Savannah steamships is the
following, viz : “It is expressly stipula
ted that the articles named in this bill o;
lading shall be at the risk of the owner,
shipper, or consignee thereof, while on
the pier or wharf awaiting shipment, and
as soon as delivered from the tackles of
the steamer at her port of destination;and
if not taken away the same day by him
they may (at the option of the steamer’s
agent) be sent to store, permitted to lay
where landed, or returned to the port of
shipment, at the expense or risk of
the aforesaid owner, shipper or con
signee.” Under this clause to what ex
tent, if any, is a steamship liable as a
common carrier for the lass or damage by
fire or robbery after the goods are safely
landed on a covered wharf at the usual
plaoe of discharge, competent watchmen
being always on the wharf to guard the
goods? It is not customary in this port
specially to notify consignees of the arriv
al of goods, but a general notice of all the
consignees by each steamer is published
in the daily papers succeeding the day of
arrival. Suppose goods lie on the wharf
over Sundays or legal holidays, at whose
risk are they? What were the points, cir
cumstances, and decision in a case which
we believe passed through your courts a
few years Since; where a “Sound steamer
discharged her cargo on a covered pier,
her usual place of landing in your, city on
3d of July,and the goods (leather we think)
were destroyed by fire on 4th of July a
legal holiday? One Interested.
Reply.—The case relative to which our
correspondent inquires was that of Ely vs.
New Haven Steamboat Company, 53
Barb., 207. The plaintiff had been in the
habit of receiving consignments weekly
for a long time, by defendant’s boats,
and a shipment of leather for him ar
rived at the wharf early in the morning
of July 4, and wqs placed on the pier. It
was left nntil the next day, and on the
afternoon of the 5th it was destroyed by
fire. It was shown that plaintiff's storu
was closed on the 4th, so that no notice
could have been given, and the court said
that the responsibility of the steamboat
company under these circumstances as a
carrier had ceased, and only that of a
wharfinger, for actual negligence, remain
ed.
This cese, however, is not as decisive
as could be wished on the main question
in the case described by our correspond
ent, viz : Whether actual, and not merely
constructive notice to consignee is neces
sary in order to terminate the carriers’
liability as such. The court relied in part
on the long oonrse of dealing between
the parties, and in part on the act that
the plantiff’s store was closed on the 4th,
in order to dispense with notice; aud still
intimated that the question whether notice
was not required properly might have
been left to the jury. We cannot find
that the Georgia courts have adjudged
the point, but the Louisiana Supreme
Court (Kohn & Bordier vs. Packard, 3
La. 224,) has ruled strongly the other
way, deciding that even the proof of
usage would not discharge the carrier
from the necessity of giving actual notice
to the consignee of the arrival of his
goods, newspaper notice not being suffi
cient. We will not undertake to predict
whioh way the Georgia courts will decide,
though the weight of authority seems to
be that actual notice, and an opportunity
to take away the goods must be afforded
the consignee, before the carrier’s respon
sibility, as such, will cease. The stipula
tion in the bill of lading above described
might be held to dispense with the second
branch of this requirement, but it would
have no bearing on the first. The steam
boat company remains liable as warehouse
men, for ordinary care of the property,
after their liability as carriers ends, and
until the property is actually claimed by
the consignee.
