-AIrr Adams. E0nclnSi0il.

After Mr. Adams had cosclud, his elaborate
speech IN the Amisted case he closed an address to
tue court with the following most impressive re-
marks. Jtsmay be- recollected that between the
commencement and conclusion of Mr.. Adams
speech Judge Barbour, member of the court sud-
denly died---as is supposed=-in his sleep. Seven
years after the delivery of this address the speak
ef too was numbered with the illustrous dead.
May it please your honors On the 7th of Feb
ruary, 1904, now more than 81 years ago, my
was recorded on the rolls of this court one
ofits attorneys and eounselors. Five years after
wards appeared before this court in an impertent
cause. Since that time, / have never appeared be-
fore this court until the present occasion, and
stand before this court again. 1t is the same
court but not the same Judges At that time these
seats were filed with honored men indeed but not
the same. They are all changed. Then there was
Chief Justice Marshall and Judges Gushing and
Chase, and Washington, and johnson, and Living
ston and Wild. Where are they? Where is that
able statesman and learned lawyer, who was once
my associate counsel, Robert Goodloe Harper p
Where is the eloquent counsellor so long the pride
of Maryland and the American bar, Luther Martin :?
Where Is the excellent clerk Of that day whose
name has been Inscribed on the shores of Africa
as monument of his adherence of the African
slave trade, Elias B. Caldwell? Where is the cri
er of the court? Where is one of the very Judges
before whom commenced my argument in the
present cause? Gone-gone; all gone. Gone
from the services which they rendered their coun-
try, to appear before tribunal where they must
answer for all the deeds done in the body. From
the excellent character which they sustained so far
as have the means of knowing fondly hope that
they have gone to receive rewards of eternal bles
sedaess In taking, as suppose, my final leave of
this Bar and this Honorable court, can only eiac-
ulate fervent petition to Heaven that every mem

At the time of the removal of the Hon. Isaac Hill
from the Office of Pension Agent at Concord N.

$4,000 and refused to account for the balance
In August last he was quite resoute in bis deter

since paid overthe sum of $1,000, leaving balance
against him of $4,000, which he swears he will
not pay. IF he would onlT consent to reduce the
amount to $25oo, the sum of Mr. Watkins defal-

Row at Macao.


The Tribune gives the following bit ofnews from
Macao.
On the occasion of Roman Catholic process
sion at Macao, (which is under Portuguese author
ity) an Englishman who had just landed from a
British man ofwar, was ordered to take off his hat
as the no st passed him. In answer to this, he
lifted his hat for moment and Immediately re-
placed it and kept it on his head. He was instant
" seized, maltreated, and thrown into prison by
the Portuguese Catholic authorities
Upon this the commander of the British ship sent
on shore demanding TIE instant release of the Eng
Iishman The Portuguese then enquired if this
release was asked as favor, demanded
right The ansewr being made that it was deman-
ded as a right the Portuguese Governor refused
to admit it and retained the nun prisoner. The
English commander then declared that if the man
was not restored to his liberty within in certain
number of hours, he would take him by force,
whatever may be-the consequences. So. little re-
gard was paid to this threat, it being deemed
quite impossible that the armament of a single
ship could put it in execution, that the Portuguese
Governor was absent from his post the same day
on business or pleasure in the country. But the
British commander true to bis word when the
stated time had passed and the Englishman had not
been released, went on shore with small but
determined band, forced open the prison and
brought away the prisoner in safety. In the con-
flict Portuguese was killed, but we know of no
other fatality.

In the eastern and northern portion of the Uni

cast mixture of peas and oats, which, ripening
together are mown and saved as provender: and
very strong and excellent food for horses does the
fesn-as it is called-affurd The seeds are
threshed out and fed separately from the stems and
straw, which last make good fodder The pea
generally chosen for this crop is the green pea
from Canada, which ripens about the same time
with tn. oats; whilst growing, the oats acts the
part of supporters Peas and oats are often ground
together as food for fattening cattle and are con
sidered valuable though not perhaps as much so as
unuixed Indian meal Forty bushels of peas and
oats per acre is reckoned a large crop. The com
mon proportions sown are one-fourth peas and
tbree-fcErths oats, but some farmers SOW at the
rate one-third peas and two-thirds oats.

that it can be scarcely suborned, even when half

Lisbon, October 8.

An unexpected circumstance has occurred here,
arising from the last war between Great Britain and
the United States An American Privateer was
chased by British vessel of war of much superior
force, and the former to avoid capture, ran under
the batteries of Fayal thereby placing herself in
neutral waters. The British vessel manned her
boats, and proceeded towards the privateer, with
view to board her; but the boats were beaten off.
They, however, returned with reinforcement In
the meanwhile, the crew of the privateer, finding
they could not successfully contend against num-
bers, abandoned the vessel and landed on the is
land The vessel was taken possession of by the Brit
ish, and burnt The British afterwards landed, and
on meeting the people ofthe prvateer, the one COM
plimented the other on their skill and bravery
Now, however, after lapse of thirty years,
(the affair having taken place in 1912 the Amer
lean government has called upon Portugal for the
value of the vessel, the capture having taken place
under the guns of the battery, and it is contended
the Portuguese were bound to protect her. The
question appears to be delicate one, and should
Portugal peremptorily refuse to indemnify the
Americans, there will be diplomatic misunder-
standing. Thus stands the matter, and there will
leave it for the consideration of wiser heads.

THE PIONEER.

The editors Of this eight by ten sheet, take US to
taskfor asserting that the Wings could have car
ried Pennsylvania, by handsome majority, had
they turned out to the late election. We have
not got time nor space this week to notice the Pi-
oneer's article at length, and will come at once to
the point in dispute and see if we were not correct
in our assertion that the Wings could easily have
carried the State, providing they had attended the
polls szszszss.s
In the Harrisburg Telegraph, published at the
capital of the State we find the official vote from
which we make the following extracts:
1848
Gen Taylor, 186,127 Gen. Cass, 172,697
III G 1849.
Fuller, 1911 Gamble, 144,s4o
Wing loss, $4,000 Loco loss, 27,s57
Now, subtract the Locofoco loss Of 27 1857, from
the whg loss of 53,oo6, and you have an excess in
favor of the Wings of 25,149. Subtract CANDLES
majority of 11,728, from the Wing loss and you
leave majority in favor of them of 1920. Will
any honest man doubt that had these $4,000 Wings
voted who staid at home, that we would have car
ried the State? #. ssr
Will the Pioneer give these figures to his read
ers, as they are official. We shallsee.
