SINGULAR CAsE-The Charlestown (Vao
Press notices the following singular case
of litigation:
We venture to say that there is a SUIT
pending in the County Court of this county
unprecedented in the annals OF Jurlspru-
dence. About eight years since hlghly
respectable merchant left the State, win
the intention Of attending to some busi-
ness in the eastern cities, and having pro-
lonoed his visit to an unusual PERIOD and
not being heard from. his friends became
apprehensive that he was either SICK or
dead Weeks, months and years elapsed
and still his mysterious disappearance
could not be explained His business
was carried on by his brother tor two or
three years after his departure, and fnally'
application was made to the courts ior
letters of administration on his estate, and
thew were granted. The administrator
proceeded, in the discharge of his duty, to
sell the property and collect the debts
aud after he had made almost full settle
menI of the liabilities of the estate, ne
died. An administrator de bonis non was
appointed, and in the course OF three OF
four months all matters were closed, and
a surplus left in his hands amounting 10
several thousand dollars The court made
an order that this sum be paid over TO the
heirs of the intestate. bu. before 1t was
executed the veritable dead man made
his appearance and filed his dissent 10 tne
proceeding He has now instituted sun
against the executor of his first admins
tralor, for a settlement of the latter ad-
ministration account 1t is something
new under the sun for dead man TO
come to life and litigate with his repre-
sentative.

Mr.. CALHOUN AND THE "UNIoN' ON
CALIFoRNIA-In February, 1847, MIR
Calhoun, in the Senate of the United
States, offered series of resolutions,
among which we find the following;
..ResoLUed, That it is a Fundamental
principle in our political creed, that a
people, in forming a constitution, have
the unconditional right TO form and adopt
the government which they may think
hest calculated to secure their liberty,
prosperity and happiness; and III contorIni-
~ thereto. no other condition is imposed
bv the Federal Constitution on State,
in order TO be admitted into this Union,
except that It's constitution shall be re-
publican and that the imposition OF any
other by Congress would not only be IN
violation of the Constitution, but III direct
confiict with the principle on which our
political system rests.
The Union of the 9th February, l049,
respecting the policy~of admitting Cali
fornia as State, says:
"The South denies that Congress has
anv jurisdiction over the subject OF sla-
verv, and contends that the people Of the
territ0ries alone, when they frame con-
stitn,ion, preparatory to admission into
the Union, haze q right to speak anu be
heard on that matter. This fact being
settled, 1t really seems TO us that ttlS
e.cclhing question: might be speedily ST.
tIed. if calm counseIs prevail The
South contends for her honor, ana tor the
great principles of non-interventlon and
State equality. Why, then, cannot all
mite and permit Calporaala TO come
iut0 the Unioa as soon as size Gun frame
a. constitution? Then. according to the
doctrines which prevail OH both sides OF
Masous and Dxon's line, she may con-
stitutionally establish her domestic instltn-
tions Oh any basis consistent with repno-
ican principles. The South could lose
nothing By adapting this comrse On
