Pensacola, May 2, 1881.
 - Dear Sir: An affair of bloody nature has recently occurred in this place. A few of our scamen had permission to visit the shore, and probably had some merry making on the occasion. Their dry jokes and harmless mirth attracted around them circle of those Spanish idlers, that hang on this community. The wit of the sailors becoming too hot and heavy for their eholeric temperament, they appealed to weapons of a very different char acter. The sailors were totally unarmed, and of course poorly prepared to encounter inc bloody knives which their adversaries drew upon them. The result was, that five 0t them were stabbed ;-one by the name of Pearlc has since died of his wounds.-the otners are convalescent, and will probably re- cove'. The assassins have as yet escaped detection, with the exception of one and he now at liberty. owing to the apathy and cr!m'nai indifference of the civil authorities of tn's place. So far from aiding in the appre- tension of the guilty, the natives make every exeFton to conceal them. Life, with these beings, IS of so little account, that a man, for | ,he snghtest prOvocation, may plunge his k1te into his neighbours bosom, and then go about his business. There is something so uastaroly' mean. and malignant. SD covert ana serpent like. in the manner in which they eaect tnelr revengeful purposes. that it ex- cues SMes my unmingled indignation and disgust. ."ey uo not meet man openly and face to Iace' put they creep upon him from some 1 conceaiment. plunge their knife. and the un- susPeSt'ng victim shrieks and dies, without eye" knowing by whom he is murdered.

several branches of the government. It had been carried into execution throughout pc riod of twenty years, with annual legislative recOxDitions: in one instance indeed, witi a positive ramifcatiOn of 1t into new state 1; and with the entire acquiescenee Of all the local authorities, as we'll as of the nation at large; to all of which may be added. de- creasing prospect of any change tn the public opinion adverse to the cOnstitutiOnaIity ot such an institution. A veto from the Execu- tive under these circumstances. with an ad- mission of the expediency and almost neces- sity of the measure, would have been den- ance of all the obligations derived from a course of precedents amounting to the requi- site evidence ofthe national judgment and in tentiOn. ., r,.
 It has been contended that the authority of precedents was in that case invalidated by the consideration, that they proved only respect for the stipulated duration of the Bank with tolcration of it until the law should expire, and by the casting vote given in the Senate by the Vice President in the year 1911, against bill for establishing the National Bank, the vote being expressly glv- en on the ground of uncOnstitntionality. Bntif the law itself was ncOnstitutional,t the stipuIa- ton was void, and could not be constitution ally fulfilled or tolerated. And as to the negative of the Senate by the casting vote of the presiding officer. it is fact well under stood at the time, that it resulted not from an equality of opinions in that assembly on the power of Congress to establish Bank. but from junction of those who admitted the power, but dlsapproved the plar, with those who denied the power. On simple question of constitutionality, there was de- cided majority in favor of it.

Manifssto of The Original Jacksonmen.-'

MANIFESTO 81 me OT1gtaaf Jacksonn1en.-W
copy, from the u. S. Gazette Of Saturday, a
publication signed by some original supporters Of
Gen. JacksOn's pretensons to the Presidency,
announcing their resolution, and the reasons of
it, not to support his suit for are-election This
paper will, undoubtedly, produce a strong i'm
preston on the public mind.
Gen. Jackson's pledge, not to be a candidate
for second term of office, is notorious as having
been made to the nation. The manifesto, which
We re-publsh tins morning, contains positive evil
dence that he had made a similar pledge to his
party. ''The consent" say the signers, "of
Gen. Jackson to become candidate for the Sc
cond term, has violatei his solemn and repeated
pledge to his party, that he would serve but four
years." &c. sc. Some of the more prominent
features Of his perfdy. imbecility and corruption
are painted in cOlors which, though fainter than
the TRUTH are as strong as could be expected from
persons who desired to encourage some lingering
feeling of kindness for him in their own breasts.
