Democratic, or Liberty party. All are DESTROYS that
our press and public men should speak forth, in plain
and respectful language, our constitutional rights.
They neither wish nor desire that language, offensive
TO southern men, should be employed. On the con;
trary, they would have them treated with respect and
kindness 1t is proper that the public mind should
be fully informed in regard to our rights And that
these rights should be respectfully and firmly MAIN
tanned. Is there Wing who would not do ,hls1 is
there an editor elector in the Wing ranks who feels
too1elicdfe to assert rights or too patriotic to
maintain ,hem1 make these remarks in conse-
quence Of the feeling often expressed that the agl-
taiion of our rights is i,npolitic The idea is one
which should meet with universal disapprobaton.,,
We ought never to remain silent when our rights and
interests arc invaded.
Having examined the two paragraphs in Our Con-
st,ution which quoted prove that we are ,nvov-
ed in the support Of slavery, trust the reader vii be
prepared to say with me, that the Federal Govern.
ment, and the free States have the constitutional right
to be separate and totally exempt from the support Of
slavery and the slave trades and that this right is as
supreme, absolute and unconditional, as is the righ
OF the slave Sates 10 maintain them.
In my next shall ask the attention Of my readers
to some Of the instances in which their rights have
been invaded. PAClFlCUS.

the argument, he called the waiter and gave
him half crown. The latter bowed and
observed that there were just eighteen shi-

account. "What," cried Mr.. Audubon,
"eighteen and sixpence I" Eyes, sir, the
price Of steak is guinea, to keep out the

was no use in making any resistance, and
taking back his half crown and handing the
waiter sovereign and shilling, was abou,

VERDICT OF THE CORONER IN THE CASE o

VERDICT OF THE CORONER IN THE CASE OF

Wednesday evening has the following para.

"The protracted inquiry into the circum.
stances attending the murder in Leonard street
was brought 10 close last evening. A NUN.
Der of witnesses were examined, most of whom,
however, could throw no additional light upon
the transaction. The purchaser Of the pistol
sold by Mr.. Cooper in 1889 had called upon that
gentleman, and convinced him that the pistol
he bought was not the one found near the body.
A female witness deposed that Immediately
after the shot she saw woman run down Leon.
ard s,reet-a woman with light hat and dark
veil another swore that she saw man run.
ming in the same direction. A witness named
Dixon swore that a Miss Stewart came to him
some two months ago, with bitter complaints
against the deceased, by whom she said she was
with child, and threatened to destroy him and
herself.
The testimony being closed the jury retired
and soon came back with the verdict, killed BY
some person unknown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cotton were thereupon dis
charged from custody.

A CURIOUS ScENE.-A partially deranged
young man by the name Of Towar, better known
in this city as the President ofthe U. S. jump.
ed on Saturday into an empty lumber sleigh
belonging to brewery in Albany, and applying
the whip to powerful pair Of horses, dashed
off at full speed for the Troy road. The snow
being very deep and much drifted, renders turn.
ing out rather difficult operation. 1t happened
also that the road, at the time Of which we
speak, was crowded with sleighs. I he dsmay
of their occupants, therefore, can be better
imagined than described, when they beheld this
crazy chario,eer laundering along ~i,h his heavy
sleigh and eephantine horses in the middle Of
the track. Those at a distance were first warn.
cd that something unusual was going on, by
percevng the sleighs in front OF them turn
quickly out into the snow drifts. Before they
had time TO speculate upon what this might
mean, the President was down upon them
standing up in the sleigh, barehesded, although
1t was as cold as LaplAnd, and shouting to his
horses at the top Of his voice. In such state
of things resistance would have been perilous
All therefore fastened TO get out of the way
of the lunatc car as rapidly as possible to save
themselves from broken limbs or necks. Thus
leaving the President the right OF way with

The President drove on until he reached
Port Schuyler, where he stopped, and was SCOT
overtaken by the owner Of the team, who knock.

LATES FROM CANTON.

The chip Charleston arrived from Canton yes.
terday, bringing dates 10 November 90, seven
days later than were received by the Great
Western. Every thing was quiet in the city,
though one or two popular tumults had been
excited.
The Press ofthe 10th represents the feelings
Of the Chinese at Canton as decidedly hostile to
foreigners. The Chinese had commenced re.
building the Bogue forts, but desisted on re.
ceiving message from the captain of one Of
the British ships of war that the re ilding could
not be permitted until the ratify tions Of the
treaty had been exchanged. IT
Sir Henry Pottingc. has issued proclama.
ton declaring that no British merchant vessel
can be allowed to 60 to any of the ports (Can.
ton excepted) that are to be opened in accor-
dance with the late treaty, until the tariffs and
scale Of duties shall be fixed and consular Off
GERS appointed. In the mean time the ports Of
Tinghae (Chusan) and that Of Kooongsoo
| (Amoy) are, as heretofore, open to all vessels
wishing to visit them. At the latter place a

A RICH DIN MAID.

A correspondent Of the Indiana American,
writing from Natchez, Miss, after remarking
that large portion of the business In that city
lie done by FEMALES, and that they are capitalists
and active members Of the business firms, gives
as an instance Of the FRANKS played by dame
Fortune to those who won her favor by industry
and economy, the following sketch Of 4 rather
antique maiden-a Miss Lydia D..
About fifteen years since, she came to this
place from Philadelphia, alone, poor, frendess,
and unrecommended, and commenced business
in the humble capacity Of Misunderstanding ap.
pies, candy, &C., at the corners Of the streets
next small shop-a retail store, &C., gradually
rose up until her property is now valued at three
hundred thousand dollars. For some years her
operations in Natchez and Vicksburgh have
been very large. She owns some dozen Of the
finest houses in Vicksburgh, and 10 now rich
old maid, and what is rare circumstance, &C.
cumulated by her own industry. She has none
Of the contracted notions and love Of small mat.
ters peculiar to old maids but has q strong,
graspng, masculine propensity for heavy bust.
ness transactions, with all the care and econo.
my Of strict housewife. When in Vicksburg,
the other day, she was pointed out to ue, and we
pursued her several squares until she entered a
store house on business. Her features are rig.
| i'd with care and calculation. There 10 none o
that sweet smile Of loneliness which plays abou
the sweet ccuntenance Of woman-her voice
has assumed hard and commanding tone, in
stead Of the soft cadence Of love and gentlenes.
her step is hurried, instead Of light and grace
full. Her action, look, and air 10 that Of business
instead Of the graces Of lovely women.
She only knows one impulse Of action-mon
ey. As an illustration Of her character, we vii
name one instance Of her attempting to WOO thu
powers Of Cupid. Having accidentally discov
cred that she was alone in the world, about fou
years since, she determined upon purchasing
husband. One day as Judge Pinkhard was pass
ing her establishment at Vicksburgl,, she want
ed him to count some money for her. The read
er will recollect Judge Pinkard is an old bach
elor. The Judge, at her request, stepped int
the counting room, where she had one hundre
thousand dollars lying upon the table. Whe
the Judge had finished counting the love pill
she informed him in quite business manne
that he could have the control Of il, # he ,ooul
lake her ,oith IL! History does not mentio
whether the Judge took the question under cor
sideraton, or whether he rendered the opinio
Of the Court instantly. But we are glad his de
csion has been presented. He has decided tn;
the one hundred thousand dollars was quite d.
srable; but the incunbrance was greater thu
the nett value. So the petitioner was nOnsui
ed. We should suppose she was about fort
years of age, but it is hard to judge the age
an old maid.

REVOLVING MURDER.--The New Orleans
Pcayune contains an account Of most horrible
murder, which seems too outrageous to have
been perpetrated by any human being. A man
named Stewart. at Cypress Bend, Arkansas,
being robbed Of negro, as he supposed, by a
wood.chopper, swore that his dogs should ca,
the first wood.chopper that ventured upon his
ground Soon after one called and requested
nights lodging. which Stewart granted and
barring the doors, let in upon him number o.
young dogs, which, however, the stranger KEEP
grown dogs and finding they. too. were foiIet
in the attack he got gun and shot the man
leaving his corpse there to be devoured by the
dogs. Stewart instantly fed, and reward o
$1,000 was offered by the Governor for his ap
prehension.

THE EPIDEMIC.

ST. JoHNsBu April 4,h.-Sincc we noticed
the epidemic two weeks since, II has ragged in
some places with considerable violence, owing,
to the sudden changes In the weather,
from comparatively mild state to severe cold.
II has also spread into some sections where il
had never before reached. But we are happy
to be able TO say, as we did then, there have
been fewer deaths, the cases, with some excep-
tons have been Of milder character, and re.
suited less fatally. At the present time the in
formation we have warrants the belief that II is
generally very much abated, and the appearance
is, should the weather be warm and mild, that
the disease may soon leave US; at least 90 all
fondly hope.
In the southern half Of this town there have
not been any new cases, for 10 or IL days, and
those persons that have been sick are nearly
well or are doing we'll. And in the whole town,
we have not heard Of only two or three new ca.
ses for the same length Of time and the sick
generally are in a state Of convalescence. The
exceptions are at the East Village in this town,
where there is less abatement Of the disease
than in any other section of the town.
The last Star notices az follows the effect and
present aspect OF the disease in Danville and
vicinity.
We are happy in being enabled TO state that
the disease which has been so prevalent in this
vicinity for the last two or three months, gener.
ally known as the Eyrsipelas, is subsiding.-
There are large numbers now sick with the ep
idemic, but it appears to have assumed milde'
aspect, yields more readily to medical treatment
and it is thought in large majority Of cases
the patients will recover. What this change il
owing to, whether to the approach Of the verna
season, or the experience and skill Of our phYsi
clans, is a matter which we will not attempt t
decide. Probably both causes have operated t.
check the disease. At one period, the fatality
which attended it, was truly alarming In ou
town it has carried to their "long homes" severa
of our most worthy and esteemed residents. W.
are informed from, an authentic source, that thu
whole number of deaths in Danvlle since th'
first Of January last, has been thirty scren ant
it is believed about two. thirds, if not a still
greater proportion, have died Of Erysipelae. Tn
population Of D.. in 1910, was little rising $500
taking % as the number who have fallen by tn
epidemic, and we have one to every hundred Q
the inhabitants, which shows greater mortalt
in proportion to the population, than prevailed il

SroRM-In ancient chronicles il is recorded,
as remarkable fact, that on the 26th March.
1865, snow fell in some parts Of New England
to the depth Of two feet: but this has been
equalled this year. On Monday evening last,
the 9Th March, il commenced showing here,
and fell to the depth Of one foot in the forenoon
of the 18th. when the falling snow turned to
rain. At Chelsea. wa have been told, snow fell
to the depth Of two feet Travelling was made
exceedingly difficult on account Of the depth
and dampness Of the snow, particularly where
il had drfted as il fell. On Tuesday, the Bur.
