SMALL Pox. DR.. Sylvanus Fansher of
Connecticut, states in the Middletown Ga
zette, in relation to report that the per-
sons who have the small pox in that town,
had been vaccinated by hun, that it is false,
that the mother Of the sick children says,
they were never vaccinated: ne saw at the
pest-house some who were speckled, but in
good health, that they had the "nurse's
pock," which is as harmless as the chicken
pox to protected persons, but gives genuine
small pox 10 the unprotected. The DR.. says,
that after % years experience, during which
he has vaccnated ninety-Seven thousand
people, he has put many hundreds TO the
test of the small pox infection, without be-
ing able to produce a single symptom of
that terrible disease.

INCREDIBLE, YET True Criminal
Court. The State Us. Francois B. Trepag-
nler. This was Ease wherein the defend
ent was accused of having cruelty punished
negro girl, named Mary. aged about ten
years, and belonging to Mrs. Rest. The
FACTS proved were. that Mr.. Trapagnier
fred gun at the said slave, Mary, when
she was on his plantation. The defence
set up was, that he had right to fire on
any negro or negroes when flying from his
pursuit. In his defence the accused further
stated that he had been informed 10y free
white person that one of Mrs. Rests slaves,
run away, was on his plantation that he
went ont in the morning and found the said
slave, Mary, and that on bringing her to his
house he several times told her that if she
attempted to run away, he would shoot her !;
that after he got her home she ran from him /;
he called her to stop, still she kept running,
when he fred on her, not TO kill but TO
wound her. He would not deny the fact
that he had shot her: he conceived that he
had a right TO do it, when he ordered a
slave to stop and obedience was not given
to his orders. The court, after explaining
the law to the accused, was of opinion that
he was entirely guilty, MS charged, and that
the same opinion would have been render
ed, had not the accused in his defence adj
mitted the fact. After passing such ohser-
vations RS the case required in an able and
just seminary; the Court sentenced Mr..
Trepagbier TO pay fine of two hundred
dollars and cost Of the prosecution.

The National Intelligencer contains a
long communication signed "a Friend to
the Sabbath" in which It is stated that the
petitioners to Congress against the Sunday
mails intend to desist from their applica-
tons. The reasons for this measure are as
signed thus:
" Our reasons for believing that it is our
dirty to withdraw, at present, from this field
of effort are the following:
81. The manner in which our petitions
have been received and treated, both in and
out of Congress, has convinced us that any
prosecution ofthe petitioning plan is NOT only
useless, but worse than useless. They have
not only been rejected, but they have excit-
ed feelings which we wish never to see ex-
hibited in our Legislative halls. Motives
and designs which we abhor, have been at
tributed to us. We have 10 hope at present,
that any renewal of our application would
he received more favorably and we do not
suppose that it is the duty, even of Chris
tan meekness, deliberately to court the re-
petition of calumny and insult.
SO. We begin most sincerely to doubt
whether, even if the repeal of the desecra-
ting law, which we seek, could be at once
obtained, any substantial benefit would he
likely to result from it, so long as there shall
continue to be such an amount of public
sentiment, as we fear there is, leagued
against the measure, and disposed at every
step to resist it with bitterness and passion;
and, even if adopted, to thwart it's influence,
by the Jealous pursuit of counter system
of proclamation. The truth is, experience
more and more dscoses, that in oil COM
munities, in free one especially, it is to little
purpose that good laws are passed, or bad
laws abrogated, if there be not virtue
enough in the community TO sustain the ex-

WASHINGTON. Jan. Doth. 1881.


I The prediction made by the President
that we should have mild winter, founded
on the fact that there were short crops of
turDips and grass in West Tennessee, seems
not to be verified. 1t has been so intense
ly cold, mat the snow which fell on the l4th
and 10Th OF this month, is very little dimin-
Ilshed, except where it has beex worn ont bv
the use OF sleighs.- exists much, from
which no other inference can be drawn, than
that there is settled determination to break
down the Judiciary of the United States,
and that the President gives to it his coun-
tenance and appreciation, if he is not made,
by certain Juggling politicians. to appear to
ne the prime mover in the great DRAMA
yesterday, Mr.. Lecompte of Kentucky, who
SAID, IN the debate on the Panama Mission,
he had never heard of the place before, and
did not believe that there were five of his
constituents who had, moved the following
resolution -" Resolved, That the Commit
tee on the Judiciary be instructed to inoujre
as to the expendiency of amending the con-
stitution of the United States SO that the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and of the in
ferior courts, shall bold their respective off,
ces for a limited term of years." Mr.. Whit
tlesey called for the question of considera-
ton, and the consideration was rejected by
ayes, 6l-nays, lis. There is strong
probability that Mr.. Lecompte introduced
the resolution with the knowledge that others
were to try their strength in endeavoring to
demolsh the fabric. After the other bust
ness was disposed of this morning, Mr..
Crawford, from Pennsylvania, on taking up
the Dill reported by the Judiciary Commit
tee, to repeal the 25th section of the Judi
cIaTIy Act, moved the rejection of the bill,
ana the previous question. The previous
question was seconded by large majority.
The Speaker then said the main question
was on The motion to reject the bill, and on
taxing the question by yeas and nays, the
