New York, March 1 --A decision was handed down to-day by Judge BEACH in the supreme court, part three sustaining a verdict recently rendered by a jury in favor of Rev. Albert P. MILLER, the colored clergyman of New Haven, Conn., who, with his family refused stateroom accommodation in the steamer Drew of the People's line to Albany. Judge BEACH, in his opinion says: the verdict must represent what the jury found to be a suitable compensation to the plaintiff for violation of a legal right and for injury done to his feelings. Although a verdict of $500 seems to be more than adequate for the plaintiff's compensation, it cannot, in my opinion be held excessive, creating the belief that the jury was mislead by passion, prejudice or ignorance.

Col. D. A. WILLIAMS, prosecuting attorney, takes a deep interest in the movements of the crusaders at Spicardsville, Lathrop, Trenton and other towns in northern Missouri. That country was the colonel's stamping ground in his boyhood. His father founded a town near Spicardsville in Grundy county many years ago, before the railroads spread new work of rails over the country. The town boomed and became a good sized hamlet and a will-known trading point. But the railroad fever struck the country. A line was built to the north of the prosperous village several miles, and it went down like a rocket. In those days there were live boys in the country district. They drank whiskey, run horses, were inveterable gamblers and when they visited a town it was for the purpose of running it. Now all is changed. In all country districts saloons are prohibited by the local option law. That is they were until a very recent date when a judge decided that the local option law was null and void in Grundy county owing to some oversight in giving the proper notice of the election. The county court however, refused to grant dramshop license and club houses and "joints" soon began to flourish. The ladies of the county charged that the officers winked at this lawlessness and made an attack on the saloons in many places, completely demolishing the same. They were arrested and fined and the Colonel, as well as other Missourians in Dallas, are patiently awaiting new developments in this latest mode of warfare inaugurated by the women of Northern Missouri against an enemy which they regard as the greatest curse ever visited upon humanity.
