The Alleged Damages in Decking Judgm ent for th e Repairs. In the United States Circuit Court yester- day an interesting question of contract and repairs was pronounced in the case of the Southern Dry Dock Company vs. Steamship Wm. Tabor et als. The Judge says substantially as follows, according to the Timet report: The defendants, Hawes &Bowen, bought iu February, 1866, the steamer Wm. Tabor from the United States Government. At the time of the purchase the vessel was in good condition, with the exception that she leaked sufficiently to make it proner to have her docked and her caulking ana cop- pering repaired, not to such an extent as to render her unseaworthy—this was required by the Board of Underwriters, and the fact of her having been in government owner- ship was another reason'why these Under- writers would not insure her or freight upon her until she had been docked. Her o»her defect was that she was badly “sagge *—that is, her bottom had become curved ana bent and had sunk below its original line. The defendants, in the beginning of March, made the usual verbal application for docking their vessel in the dock kept by the plaintiffs, at that time the only dock iu this port capable of receiving and lifting a vessel of the size and weight of the Wm. Tabor. The plain* iffs consented to hire their dock 8A requested; had they refused, the vessel would hav ; been here a comparatively worthless piece of property, as they could not have employed her usefully as a com- mercial vessel, as the defendants would have been compelled, without insurance, to send her to some distant port for dockage. The nature and terms of the contract be- tween the plaintiffs and defendants are to be gathered from the testimony of many of the witnesses, all of whom agree (Williams and Foley having testified to the agree- ment), that in the docking (receiving and lifting the vessel snd securing her on the blocks), the dockmader had and must have the entire and absolute control of her. The principal alterations the owners de- termined on making, upon acquiring the vessel, for the purpose of making her suita- ble and profitable to the Texas trade, was the buiiaii g of a large new cabin, the work upon which was actually commenced be- fore the application for docking. On the fifteenth of March, the Tabor pro- ceeded to the dock, and was taken charge Of by the dock manager, Mackay, who pro- ceeded to put her in. He made a mistake in estimating ttie extent and shape of the Tabor’s **s«gg,” an extraordinary one, be- ing of much greater size than usual, but the mistake, from the nature of the contract, mast be treat* d as one against which the defendants were, warranted. The consequence of this mistake was, that as the dock rose oat of the water, lifting the steamer, the whole weight of the vessel rested upon the blocks amidships, the blocks fore and aft being too low for the bow aud ■tern to bear upon them. He raised the ▼essel higher, and her immense weight upon a single point of the dock caused a part of its frame to give way and sink. At this a second effect took place, the sinking M eiiaie—ThoH** • Durant lm see Hu prenne ®tc * [Special OorrMKMdenoa of the Republican.] Washington, December 12, 1868. On Thursday the House went into Com- mittee of the Whole on the President’s message, and was addressed by Hon. J. G. Blaine, of Maine. Mr. Blaine’s address em- braced a careful resume of national affairs since the election of Abraham Lincoln. I would like to transfer the whole of this brll* liant addresj to your columns, but I am ad- monished to respect your limited space. I can not refrain, however, from giving you an eloquent extract, which has the true “ Young America ” ring about it: With the election of General Graut comes a higher standard of American citizenship— with more dignity and character to the name abroad and more assured liberty and security attaching to it at home. Our diplo- macy will be rescued from the subservient tone by which we have so often been hu- miliated in our own eyes and in the eyes of Europe, and the true position of the first nation of the earth in rank and prestige will be asserted; not in the spirit of bravado or with the mere arrogauce of strength, but with the conscious dignity which belongs to power, and with the moderation which is the true ornament of justice. And with this vindication of the rights and rank of our citizenship abroad will come also its protection and its panoply at home. That provision of the Federal Con- stitution which solemnly guarantees that “ the citizens of each Stato shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citi- zens in the several States” will not be a dead letter under the administration of General Grant, as it in fact has been from the foun- dation of the Federal Government down to this hour. Hencelorward it is to be prac- tically enforced throughout all our borders, and every citizen of the republic, himself observant of the law aud of the rights of others, shall go where it may please him, and speak as he may see fit, unawed by mobs, unharmed by murderers, uumenaced in life, limb or estate ! Mr. Blaine, by the way, is the most prominently named candidate, next to Gen- eral Banks, for the next Speakership of the House. The cases of the United States versus the Nina Simmes,” and same versus the “Beau- regard” were up for argument in the Supreme Court yesteiday, on appeal from the judgment of the District Court of Lou- isiana. These boats were libelled under the act of July, 1861, on the ground they had been used for Confederate purposes with the consent of the owners. Judge Durell acquitted them and the United States ap pealed. The case was argued on the part of the Government by Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Ashton, and for claimants by Hon. Thomas J. Durant. The whole question turned upon whether the consent was vol- untarily given. The case of the claimants was presented by Mr. Durant with a clear- ness, precision and vigor which is .are even in that Court. His description of the tyran- ny and absolute despotism of the Confeder- ate military rule and of the powerleasness of the individual citizen was most vivid and telling. Colonel B. B. Keeler, of General Rous- seau’s staff, is si ill here, at the Metropolitan. He has been trying to save Gei. Rousseau’i CITY COUNOIL--OFFIÇI AL. BOARD OP ALBBBMII. Becalnr I—lion.

ROB ROY. tu in a »riuuu run>i ha»» of the dock frame lowered the blocks amid- ships and the vessel lowered with them, so that her ends, fore and aft, now bore upon the blocks, which had been placed at those points, and the vessel rested securely. It has beeu contended that the vessel was strained and made leaky by this accident- butts were started out by the shock—but 1 do not find this to be the fact; on the con- trary, the whole direct injury was suffered by the dock. To say the least it does not appear from all the evidence taken together that any injury whatever happened to the steamer herseit by the giving way of the doek, or if there were any such injury, what it amouuts to. After the steamer, on the breaking down of the dock, went to her former mcoring, Hawes sud Bowen suspended the improve- ments previously commenced on her, dis- charged the workmen who were building the cabin, aud this was leit vary far from a finished condition. Plaintiffs proceeded to repair their dock, and they strengthened it, under inspection pf experienced marine surveyor« and engio- M lis H elen W estern. A Washington correspondent telegraph- ed last night the folljwing: Miss Helen Western, the well-known star actress, died here this morning, at the Kirk- wood House, from côngestion of the bowels. She was taken ill fit Pittsburg about five weeks ago, but camé here to fill an engage- ment. On her arrival, however, she was so ill that oa the first night of her appearance, as Cynthia, iu the “Flowers of the Forest,’’ she was compelled to be removed from the stage, but subsequently recovered so as to play on Friday aud Saturday of last week. This exertion caused a relapse, and she was again confined to her room; but on Wednesday she felt more cheer- ful and confident of her early re- covery. Yesterday, however, she was not so well, aud the hotel proprietor, hav- ing a permanent boarder who wanted her room, insisted on her being moved out. Her agent remonstrated, but could not induce the landlord tc let her remain, and she was carried out to another room. From that moment she began to sink, and on her doc tor being sent for last night he pronounced her case then hopeless. She was in her twenty-third year, and was sister of Lucille Western, both being the daughters of Mrs. English, of Boston, by a former husband. She was born in New York, and made her first appearance on the boards as Ev» iu “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” of the Boston Mu- seum, in her sixth year. Since then she has played in England, Ireland and Scotland, South America, aud all through the United States. Her only relatives now living are her mother, Mrs. English, in Boston, and hor sister Lncille. Helen married Mr. Herne, an actor, some years ago, but the union proved anything but a happy one, and a separation was effected. Herne is now in California. Miss Helen Western was popular once, but never a great actress. She and Lucille, under the management of their stepfather, Hr. English, first came into prominent notice during that gentleman’s production of The Three Fast Men.” We believe she leaves no children. Her remains will be taken to Boston to- night for interment in Mount Auburn Ceme- tery. Her mother resides in Boston and Lucille in California. In the meantime the defendants elected not to dissolve their contract with piain- ner to seek dockage elsewhere, and wtpje several letters desiring tobe informed __dock would be ready for the Ta- b«r, etc., in none of which did they demand an i »médiate compliance nor hint an in m daniHges for delay.

Q uestion o f Contract and R epairs,

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

The Alleged Damages in Decking

J u d g m e n t f o r t h e R e p a i r s .

In the United States Circuit Court yester­day an interesting question of contract and repairs was pronounced in the case of the Southern Dry Dock Company vs. Steamship Wm. Tabor et als.

The Judge says substantially as follows, according to the Timet report:

The defendants, Hawes & Bowen, bought iu February, 1866, the steamer Wm. Tabor from the United States Government.

At the time of the purchase the vessel was in good condition, with the exception that she leaked sufficiently to make it proner to have her docked and her caulking ana cop­pering repaired, not to such an extent as to render her unseaworthy—this was required by the Board of Underwriters, and the fact of her having been in government owner­ship was another reason'why these Under­writers would not insure her or freight upon her until she had been docked.

Her o»her defect was that she was badly “sagge *—that is, her bottom had become curved ana bent and had sunk below its original line.

The defendants, in the beginning of March, made the usual verbal application for docking their vessel in the dock kept by the plaintiffs, at that time the only dock iu this port capable of receiving and lifting a vessel of the size and weight of the Wm. Tabor.

The plain* iffs consented to hire their dock 8A requested; had they refused, the vessel would hav ; been here a comparatively worthless piece of property, as they could not have employed her usefully as a com­mercial vessel, as the defendants would have been compelled, without insurance, to send her to some distant port for dockage.

The nature and terms of the contract be­tween the plaintiffs and defendants are to be gathered from the testimony of many of the witnesses, all of whom agree (Williams and Foley having testified to the agree­ment), that in the docking (receiving and lifting the vessel snd securing her on the blocks), the dockmader had and must have the entire and absolute control of her.

The principal alterations the owners de­termined on making, upon acquiring the vessel, for the purpose of making her suita­ble and profitable to the Texas trade, was the buiiaii g of a large new cabin, the work upon which was actually commenced be­fore the application for docking.

On the fifteenth of March, the Tabor pro­ceeded to the dock, and was taken charge Of by the dock manager, Mackay, who pro­ceeded to put her in. He made a mistake in estimating ttie extent and shape of the Tabor’s **s«gg,” an extraordinary one, be­ing of much greater size than usual, but the mistake, from the nature of the contract, mast be treat* d as one against which the defendants were, warranted.

The consequence of this mistake was, that as the dock rose oat of the water, lifting the steamer, the whole weight of the vessel rested upon the blocks amidships, the blocks fore and aft being too low for the bow aud ■tern to bear upon them. He raised the ▼essel higher, and her immense weight upon a single point of the dock caused a part of its frame to give way and sink. At this a second effect took place, the sinking

W a shin gton , December 12, 1868.On Thursday the House went into Com­

mittee of the Whole on the President’s message, and was addressed by Hon. J. G. Blaine, of Maine. Mr. Blaine’s address em­braced a careful resume of national affairs since the election of Abraham Lincoln. I would like to transfer the whole of this brll* liant addresj to your columns, but I am ad­monished to respect your limited space. I can not refrain, however, from giving you an eloquent extract, which has the true “ Young America ” ring about it:

With the election of General Graut comes a higher standard of American citizenship— with more dignity and character to the name abroad and more assured liberty and security attaching to it at home. Our diplo­macy will be rescued from the subservient tone by which we have so often been hu­miliated in our own eyes and in the eyes of Europe, and the true position of the first nation of the earth in rank and prestige will be asserted; not in the spirit of bravado or with the mere arrogauce of strength, but with the conscious dignity which belongs to power, and with the moderation which isthe true ornament of justice.

And with this vindication of the rights and rank of our citizenship abroad will come also its protection and its panoply at home. That provision of the Federal Con­stitution which solemnly guarantees that “ the citizens of each Stato shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citi­zens in the several States” will not be a dead letter under the administration of General Grant, as it in fact has been from the foun- d at ion of the Federal Government down to this hour. Hencelorward it is to be prac­tically enforced throughout all our borders, and every citizen of the republic, himself observant of the law aud of the rights of others, shall go where it may please him, and speak as he may see fit, unawed by mobs, unharmed by murderers, uumenaced in life, limb or estate !

The cases of the United States versus theNina Simmes,” and same versus the “Beau­

regard” were up for argument in the Supreme Court yesteiday, on appeal from the judgment of the District Court of Lou­isiana. These boats were libelled under the act of July, 1861, on the ground they had been used for Confederate purposes with the consent of the owners. Judge Durell acquitted them and the United States ap pealed. The case was argued on the part of the Government by Assistant Attorney Gen­eral Ashton, and for claimants by Hon. Thomas J. Durant. The whole question turned upon whether the consent was vol­untarily given. The case of the claimants was presented by Mr. Durant with a clear­ness, precision and vigor which is .are even in that Court. His description of the tyran­ny and absolute despotism of the Confeder­ate military rule and of the powerleasness of the individual citizen was most vivid and telling.

t u in a » r i u u u r u n > i ha»»of the dock frame lowered the blocks amid­ships and the vessel lowered with them, so that her ends, fore and aft, now bore upon the blocks, which had been placed at those points, and the vessel rested securely.

I t has beeu contended that the vessel was strained and made leaky by this accident- butts were started out by the shock—but 1 do not find this to be the fact; on the con­trary, the whole direct injury was suffered by the dock. To say the least it does not appear from all the evidence taken together that any injury whatever happened to the steamer herseit by the giving way of the doek, or if there were any such injury, what it amouuts to.

After the steamer, on the breaking down of the dock, went to her former mcoring, Hawes sud Bowen suspended the improve­ments previously commenced on her, dis­charged the workmen who were building the cabin, aud this was leit vary far from a finished condition.

Plaintiffs proceeded to repair their dock, and they strengthened it, under inspection pf experienced marine surveyor« and engio-

M li s H e l e n W e s te r n .A Washington correspondent telegraph­

ed last night the folljwing:Miss Helen Western, the well-known star

actress, died here this morning, at the Kirk­wood House, from côngestion of the bowels. She was taken ill fit Pittsburg about five weeks ago, but camé here to fill an engage­ment. On her arrival, however, she was so ill that oa the first night of her appearance, as Cynthia, iu the “Flowers of the Forest,’’ she was compelled to be removed from the stage, but subsequently recovered so as to play on Friday aud Saturday of last week. This exertion caused a relapse, and she was again confined to her room; but on Wednesday she felt more cheer­ful and confident of her early re­covery. Yesterday, however, she was not so well, aud the hotel proprietor, hav­ing a permanent boarder who wanted her room, insisted on her being moved out. Her agent remonstrated, but could not induce the landlord tc let her remain, and she was carried out to another room. From that moment she began to sink, and on her doc tor being sent for last night he pronounced her case then hopeless. She was in her twenty-third year, and was sister of Lucille Western, both being the daughters of Mrs. English, of Boston, by a former husband. She was born in New York, and made her first appearance on the boards as Ev» iu “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” of the Boston Mu­seum, in her sixth year. Since then she has played in England, Ireland and Scotland, South America, aud all through the United States. Her only relatives now living are her mother, Mrs. English, in Boston, and hor sister Lncille. Helen married Mr. Herne, an actor, some years ago, but the union proved anything but a happy one, and a separation was effected. Herne is now in California. Miss Helen Western was popular once, but never a great actress. She and Lucille, under the management of their stepfather, Hr. English, first came into prominent notice during that gentleman’s production of The Three Fast Men.” We believe she leaves no children.

Her remains will be taken to Boston to­night for interment in Mount Auburn Ceme­tery. Her mother resides in Boston and Lucille in California.

There is this advantage about the Mu­seum, that the admission fee is small and the doors are open at any time in the day or evening. The twin girls, sometimes called the two-headed girl, sing prettily and converse freely. The smallest woman in the world, unlike others ol her sex, makes no secret about her age. The new custom of smoking under water, where the odor of the meerschaum is offensive to nobody, must be admired especially by those who do not smoke. The Ciroasian Beauty, with the euphonious name of Salamma Agga, is there. So likewise is Professor Greiner, the Bohemian glass blower. In addition may be seen the animals in the menagerie, the happy family of quadrupeds, and cu­riosities Irom all parts of the world.
