NEGRO TESTIMONY.

CONTRAST between the ''Wustrious Predeces-

MIR. Poindexter introduced striking illus
tratlon ofthe difference between the old Hero
and his successor, the par erceilnce, ssNor-
thern man with Southern feelings
Cadet at West Point was few years
since dismissed, on negro testimqny. An APP
peal was taken to Gen. Jackson. Judge
Rowan OF Ky, presented the papers to the
PRESIDENT. He commenced stating the case
by reference to the negro testimony. Say no
m"'e, (said the old GeneraD that's enough
tie fact Of a Negro deposing against 1hiie
man, sgt itseB, sufficient in my estimation, 10
rtftdte the schole proceeding. TIE decision is
reversed, and tie Cadet re-instated."
How different is this from the conduct OF
the 'Northern man with Southern feelings

Case of Lieutenant Hooe.

President Van Buren, is said to be more
''annoyed'' at the blunder he committed in
Hooe's case than at any circumstance of the
times. But was it 4 biunder merely? Did
not the private feelings of the individual man
speak out in that case? Was not the SEN

to vote for free negro suffrage in the New

Erscntire Usupntion.-C congress refused
to add fifteen hundred men to the standing ar
my in Florida. This was no sooner done
than Mr.. Poinsett ordered 500 men into the
Florida service either upon his own or Mr..
Van Buren's responsibility, and, we under
stand has given the command of them to Gen.
Read, in connection with the Governor of that
Territory. What right has Mr.. Poinsett to
do this? Where does he procure the means
to do it? What right has he to select Gen
eral from the militia, or from the citizens, to
command regular troops got up in this way I
lfhe has this right, then he has also the right
his officers, distributing pay amongst them,
and of assuming for himself, like Cromwell,
the Protectorate of the Empire-Verily,
when we look at the extent to which Execu-
tive discretion and dictation 60, we do not see
any further use for Congress. The Execu-

~" We understand that there was poIt-

day last, between Alexander Rives, Esq. of
Albemarle, and G. p. Samuels, Esq. of She

but presume the Loco Focos felt considerably
worsted, as in the impotency of their wrath,
they had the indecency to raise apetticoat on

More Negro Itstimony.-The Madisonian
publishes letter from New Castle, Della

Josiah Nurch, of the Revenue service, on
charges preferred by Capt. Henry d. Noncs,
OF the same service, before the collector ofthe
District, Henry Whiteley, esq. in June 1892.
In which the testimony of five Negroes was
received. When. the Negroes were brought
to the stand, Mr.. Murch and his counsel pro-
tested against their examination, it not being
competent in the Courts of Delaware for ne
groes to testify against white persons-but
the objection was overruled, and the negroes
examined. Mr.. Murch and bis counsel then
left the room, but the collector proceeded
with the testimony, and after closing the same
forwarded it to Washington. Mr.. Murch had
his commission taken from him-the pro-
ceedings having been laid before the Presi-
dent and ''approved by him. We nope the
People will soon stop this business.
