supreme Court.

MONDAY. June 3, 1850
The Court delivered three opinions Of great i'm
portance to the parties
The Sfgte VS.. Bradley.-This man was con-
vieted Of the murder Of young woman. The
Jury returned verdict in these words" Guilty of
murder without capital punishment, and recon-
nended to the mercy Of the Court, on the ground
Of the prisoner not being prepared for trial"
The facts were, that one Of his counsel had been
mlsled by the impression LETT on his mind, after
conversations with Attorney General Elmore, and
had supposed the trial postponed till the fall
when, by accident, entering the Courtroom, he
found the defendant about to be pur on his trial.
witnesses had not been summoned, nor any steps
taken to prepare for trial. Both of his counsel
Withdrew from the case, refusing to appear when
they were not prepared. The prisoner declined
counsel which the Court offered to assign him.
We do not think any lawyer having any regard for
his own reputation, or the honor of the profession
would have undertaken the defence Of man on a
capital charge without preparation. He was tried
without the aid of counsel. Mr. Larue acted as
anstcms curie in one instance, and took bill of ex
ceptions to the introduction of evidence.
The Court affirmed the judgement. We shall
endeavor to give the decision in extenso. The
"N " shis sisaAo last year excited good deal OF
interest," and the bar agreed with the verdict of
Jury, that the prisoner not prepared for trial.
and the decision has therefore caused much surprise
Ericin VS.. Denton.--This case too was too tried
by a jury abouta year ago, and verdict rendered
on the unconventional demand Of the defendant.
The verdict Of the Jury was affirmed by the Court.
Tie Heirs Of Henderson VS.. Rost and Mont
go1ieyy, ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the lower Court
was affirmed.-The opinion was given by the
Chief Justice and Judge Slidell--Judge Preston
has prepared dissenting opinion. The testator,
Scotchman, who was possessed of an immens
estate, consisting chiefly of lands and negroes
made curious and extremely complicated condi
tons for the ultimate liberation of his slaves and
their immigration to Liberia. The validity of tina
clause in his will was reserved, but will come ur
IN an action for partition.
We shall Tomorrow endeavor to give our usual
synopsis W. w. King, Esq. has been recon,
mended as Reporter. The Governor will, as a
matter Of course, sanction the judicial nomination
Mr.. King is a lawyer Of highly respectable &C.
qmrements, Of a discriminating mind, and great
industry. His appointment gives general satisfac
ton.

MISFORTUNE IN BEING IN ADVANCE OF THE
AGE.-The disadvantage of being few years in
advance of the age, is exemplied in the case of the
eccentric Englishman, who first introduced, from
China, umbrellas among his counrymen. Being
the rsvever seen in the country, it attracted such
curious and indignant notice, that its owner was
soon surrounded by furious English mob, and
pelted with mud and other missiles for his audacity
in thus attempting to screen himself from the rain
which all true born Englishmen, from time i'm

none are so poor not to own an umbrella, or, if
that is saying too much-considering how many are
stolen yearly-none proud to be above its use.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE. - The Point Coupee
Echo of the LIST inst. gives us the following: son
Saturday last, as G. T. Ament, was conducting to
jail, in skif, two negroes whom he had taken up
on Old River, when opposite our Office one of the
negroes, belonging to Wolten, or Wolch, who lives
near Texas, while rowing the boat, requested him
to look back and see two steamboats, coming in
contact with each other On his looking round,
the negro John struck him tw ice on the side of the
head, and once or twice on the shoulder, and then
clinched him. Fortunately, Ament had knife,
which he had taken from the other negro, with
which he gave the negro John one or two cuts in
the side, and, in the scufle threw him over board,
where he was drowned. 1t was with difficulty he
prevented the negro from pulling him into the river
with him. The other negro was committed to jail
at St. FrancisviIle he says he belongs to Mr. Geo.
Hooker, Monroe, Ouachita.''

DIVING FOR SPECIE.-Since the success of the
Baltimore company in fishing Spanish dollars from
the South American sunken ship, there have been
several diving apparatus invented, and several en-
terprises on foot. Two schooners have sailed for
the Bay of Fundy, to property from several
wrecks sunk some years ago. The expedition has
been got up by two enterprisng persons, who have
imported machinery from London, and who last
year, recovered property from the British brig of
war Plumper, sunk thirty-seven years ago. They
have now embarked on larger scale.

CORRECTIONAL,

We have received by way of St. Louis tele-
graphic summary of the proceedings of Congress on
the 9th ult., being twenty -four hours in advance
of the mail:
SENATE.-Mr. Downes' resolution of inquiry as
to whether Sloo's contract for carrying the mails
between New FORK, New Orleans, Chagres, Charles
ton, ETC., by mail steamers, has failed to be per-
formed, and in what particular, was taken up. Mr..
Downes modified his resolution to direct a
general inquiry into the performance of contracts
for carrying the mails to Liverpool on California
route.
The resolution as modified, was adopted.
After the reception ofreports, the bill to establish
branch Mint in NewYork, was taken up.
Mr.. Davis moved an amendment, providing for
two assaying officers, one at Stockton, and the
other at Sacramento City in California. After
some debate, the bill was postponed till Wednesday
next.
Mr. Mason then addressed the Senate in expo-
ston of the views of the minority of the committee
of thirteen and those of the Senate who repudiated
the scheme of compromise. Having concluded,
Mr.. Clay asked Mr.. Mason whether he meant to
be understood to say that he would be willing to
take the Missouri compromise line to the Pacific,
without any legislation by Congress with respect
to slavery on either side of the line.
Mr. Mason replied, for himself he would.
Mr. Clay then asked whether all the Southern
Senators would be willing to abide by that line,
with the condition named
Mr. Mason said, the Senator from Kentucky,
might very soon obtain an answer to his query, if
he would himself intimate his willingness to abide
by that line.
Mr. Clay said that for himself he would have no
objection to the extension of the Missouri line across
Utah and New Mexico, but not through California.
Mr.. Mason replied, that the abolition of the slave
trade in the District came under the general scope
of the resolutions against any action.

WAR WITH THE CAMANCHEs The "Neuces
Valley" of the 25th ult contains the following ar
ticle:
We learn from Capt Grumbles, who was at San
Antonio about the time the Camanches came into
that place for the purpose of having talk with the
Big Captain, that they met with cold reception
from that officer; their object being to obtain per-
mission to hunt and run mustangs on the NueGes
which was peremptorily refused. We are much
gratifed to learn that Gen. Brooke adopted the
course he has in this matter, for know Of no 9TH
er way by which this frontier can be kept clear of
these marauding parties of Indians than by defining
their limits-beyond which they never should be
permitted to 60. We also learn from the same
source that an Indian war is recommended by the
commanding officer of this military department
1t would appear to those who have been living in
this vicinity for the last years. that we have had
an Indian war but we presume the General has
reference TO an offensive war, contradstinguished
| from defensive war, which has been the charac.
ter of the military movements on our frontier since
we have been under the jurisdiction of the United
States. A campaign against the Camanches would
| not only meet with the universal appreciation Of
Texan citizens, but it would accord with the SEN
tlments and opinions of nearly all other citizens of
| the Union who have reflected on the subject. The
| peace policy heretofore pursued towards the Ca
| manches by the Texas government, when under the
influence of Gen. Houston, failed entirely to accom-
plish the object desired. Treaties were frequently
made, and as often broken and disregarded bv the
Indians. The support they received from our Gov
eminent, instead Of being a preventive of future
depredations, only held out new inducements, as
soon as the presents received were exhausted, for
renewing hosities against the whites, thereby ex-
| pectng to be again furnished by our Government
with such articles as they demanded. Such pol.
icy proved ruinous to the best interests of Texas
| After a severe chsstisement by our citizens, we
were for some time relieved from their incursions
and now the only alternative left US for security is
| to carry the war into the enemy's country. We
advocated this course years SINCE and shall adhere
to the doctrine until some other plan is recommend
ed that will prove more effectual than the policy
heretofore pursued and adopted by our Govern
ment.
