A Negro Lassoed by a Horse.--The Planters

A Negro Lassoed by Horse.--The Planters
(Attakapas) Banner says:
David Berwick, of Bayou Sale, undertook to ride
young horse belonging to his master, for the
purpose of rendering him gentle. As the horse
was dashing along at full speed, The boy held in
his hand rope, at one end of which was run
ming moose, the other end tied to the animals
neck, and by an unlucky stumble the horse fell,
threw the boy off, aud when he gathered HIM
self up and started off on on his Gown hook" it
was discovered that the moose had by strange
accident slipped over the boys head, and one
spring of the horse drew it round his neck as
tight as the rope of q hangman. The boys life
was saved, but when rescued from his travelling
gaIlows, which asked no favors from Judge or
jury, the boy looked decidedly "black in the
face"

1t was spared; but he died in very short time,
and then they said, the Great Spirit had avenged
their brother. The venerable elm under which
the meeting took place served to mark the spot
until the storm of 1910 threw it to the ground
1t measured "a feet in girth, and was found to be
293 years old. A piece of it was sent home to
the Penn family, by whom it was mounted on a
pedes tai with appropriate inscriptions; and the
remaindey was manufactured into vases, work
stands, and other relics now held sacred by their
possessors- plain monument has since been
erected on the spot, inscribed on each face with
four short and simple sentences commemorative
of the Great Treaty.

The Queen i'm the Glass Palace.

The Albany Evening Journal publishes the
following among other extracts from private
letter received in that city from Mr. johnson,
agent from that State to the Great Exhibition:
But the richest scene transpired last Monday
The Queen has commenced going through the
Exhibition for the purpose of ascertaining from
the exhibitors any particulars she may desire
to know. She commenced on Monday with q
certain number in the English department, who
were notified to meet her Majesty. They did
so, and she passed along, Familiarity examining
the articles, and making such inquiries as she
desired; and on accosting one of the exhibitors,
a stout, hearty beef eater, he was so much ex-
cited that he tainted aaVay. 1t would take con
siderable of a woman, l recken,' to make a
Yankee faint away-hc might be sskeered like
but think Jonathan would keep on his trotteys
When the Queen passed through our division,
she requested information in regard to several
articles-the Grain-Reaper, the American (Troy)
Company's Chairs, Indian Corn, sc. | an
swercd her questions, and went on talking
much as would to any respectable lady in our
country, with all proper Difference, of course.
to the Queen and Prince Albert-and the aston
ishment depicted in the faces of the John Bulls
about, was truly farcical. But such is the force
of custom and education, that these people from
the highest to the lowest will walk backwards,
''crab fashion," as Punch says, and in some in
stances, be frightened out of their wits, when her
Majesty appears. have no doubt that it would
be far more agreeable, if the people would trcat
her with poiteness; but now she is annoyed
when she appears, by throng pressing around
her, requiring continually body guard to keep
the way clear, so that she can pass along.

Which is threatened, must be dealt with fairly
and enabled to comprehend the immense conse-
quences Involved in this issue. Pennsylyania
has been called the keystone of the arch of our
Union, anu proudly can she point to her past
history ana vindicate her title to the noble ap-
pellation; Let her now wayer-let her be
moved fra her position by traitors, abolition
lists, denagogues, and disanionists- her
people be betrayed and deceived, and civil war
will stalk through the land, and all that our
Washington, Jeffersons, and Jacksons have
done to perp.tuate our free institutions will be
paralyzed by The higher-law folIies of the John
stons, and Stewards, and Scots.
The time has not yet elapsed to enable us to
hear from the South but already we find a
Jealous whig paper in the city of Baltimore
rallying its readers to the platform of duty,
and denourcing the traitorous purposes of
Gov. Johnston. Throughout the entire South,
without regsrd to parties, whether among wings
or democrats, we anticipate but one voice of
withering denunciations for the man who can
thus openly trife with the dignity of official
position, and give up the hopes of Union rath-
er than the goodwill of abolition fanatics.
In many Of the States of the South these
! tidings from the whig party Of Pennsylvania
will be receiged like a clap of thunder by men
who are looking alone at the safety of the
| Union, and yho give their votes, under this
feeling, without asking whether the candidate
! for the State and federal offices are wings or
democrats. The great thought is, How best
shall my vote heal the bleeding wounds of the
| country, and save the constitution from the
brutal attacks of fanaticism In those States
such man as Johnston could command nc
democratic or Bhig vote, and we are confident
| that no party or candidate identified with him
will fare any better. The Union of Scott and
Johnston, the type of the wing party, viii
be that of sin and death-a death from which
! there will be no resurrection.

The following extract of letter published IT

nal to be from reliable source. 1t is dated May
Is: ''Thc conhagration of the Sd or 4th inst,

severe as it is, falls lightly on American mer

the privilege American merchants have in per

GOV. Johnston Re-nominated.

Since the dark days, when Joseph Ritner
stained the honor of our noble Constitutional
Commonwealth, by assaIling the Southern
States, we have had no executive who has dared
to raise in Pennsylvania the pestilential flag of
Abolition Even the candidates of the Wings
have heretofore been scrupulously guarded
against this cardinal offence; andmen have been
called upon to vote for Governor, more because
they were decidedly against Sectionalism than
because they had the slightest leaning TO it. 1t
happened otherwise since Johnston has been
inflicted upon u.s. for, from the beginning, he
has been in the tolls of the bitterest foes of the
Union He began his career in 1S4S, by the
most violent professions of Free Soilism, and
We will do him the justice to say, that from that
day to this he has not abandoned an inch of his
devotion to the cause of the opponents of the
Constitution. 1t appears that grand State
meeting of his party have re-nominated him for
re- -olectiou and this, too, almost by acclama-
tion an insolent defiance of the opinions of an
| overwhelming majority of the people. He re-
tains in his possession the bill to repeal the
most important section of the celebrated OBJ
struction Law-operating in mischievous con-
Aict with the National Constitution in regard to
| fugitives from service We refer the reader for
particulars to our telegraphic accounts of the
Lancaster Whig State Convention.
1t matters nothing to us what the resolutions
of the Wings were after this nomination for
Governor. All professions, on their part, must
now be regarded as hollow and heartless. They
| might pile Ossa upon Pelion in the way of pro-
| fessions for the Constitution, and yet, after
such a nomination for Governor, their profess
ions would be laughed at and despised.
The line of demarcation is now nbetween
the two great parties in this State, and VIC enter
into the contest assured of an honorable and
commanding victory. The issue is, Bigler, the
Constitution, the Compromise, and the Rights
of the States: rersus Johnston, Sectionalsm,
Free Soilism and Hostility TO the solemn behests
| of the Constitution.

HoN. JEREMIAH S BLACK.-It is with fccinSs
of pride and satisfaction that we refer our read
ers to the vote received by this gentleman-the
highest received by any candidate-in the Ju
dicial Convention. This vote not only shows
the estimation in which he is held by the Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania, but it conveys a with
ering rebuke to his enemies who have so long
and bitterly denounced him. Such a lesson
should teach men TO put proper estimation on
their powers before they set M for slandcrcrs.
In this and adjoining counties, where Judge
BLACK is known, he will receive vote that he
will have just cause to feel proud of Marx

Penn's Conference and Treaty
with the Indians.
FROM DIxoNs LIFE OF PENN.

This conference has become one of the most
striking scenes of history Artists have painted,
poets have sung, philosophers have applauded
it: but it is nevertheless clear, that in words
and colors it has been equally and generally
msrepresented, because painters, poets, histo-
rians have chosen to draw on their imaginations
for the features of scene, every marking line
Of which they might have recovered from au-
thentic sources The great outlines of nature
are easily obtained. There the dense masses
Of cedar, pine, and chestnut, stretching far
away in the interior of the land; here the
noble river rolling its waters down to the
Atlantic ocean; along its surface rose the pur-
plo smoke of the settlers homestead; on the
opposite shore lay the fertile and settled coun-
,ry of East New Jersey.
Here stood the gigantic elm which was to
become immortal from that day forward-and
there lay the verdant council formed by nature
On the surface of the soil In the centre stood
William Penn, in costume undistinguished from
the surrounding group, save by the silken sash.
His costume was simple, but not pedantlc or
ungainly. An outer coat, reaching to the knees,
terials, but equally ample; trousers extremely
full, slashed at the sides, and tied with strings
or ribbons; profusion of shirt sleeve and
rufles, with hat of the cavalier shape (want-
ing o4Ay the feather, from beneath the brim of
which escaped the curls of new peruke-were
its chief and not ungraeeful ingredients. At
his right hand was Col. Markham, who had met
the Indians in council more than once on that
Identical spot, and was regarded by them as a
6rm and faithful friend; on his left, Pearson,
the intrepid companion of his voyage; and
near his person, but little backward, band
Of his most attached adherents.
When the Indians approached in their old
forest costume, their bright feathers sparkling
in the sun, and their bodies painted in the most
gorgeous manner, the governor received them
With the easy dignity accustomed to mix with
European courts. AS soon as the reception was
over, the sachems retired to q short distance,
and after o brief consultation among them
selves, Taminent, the chief sachem or king, a
man whose virtues are still remembered by the
sons oil the Forest advanced again few PAGES,
anu put upon his own head chaplet, into
which was twisted small horn. This chaplet
was MS symbol power; and in-the costume of
Tue Lenm Lenape, whenever the chief placed it
upon his brow, the spot became at once sacred,
and the person of every one present inviolable.
Inc venerable Indian king then seated him
SUI on the ground, with the older sachems on
uS right and left, the middle-aged warriors
'anSed themselves in the form of a crescent OF
hah moon, round them; and the younger men
'O'med third and semi-circle. All being
seated IN this picturesque and striking order

'n' natives were prepared to hear and consider

distinction were sought for between the rem
cdy ON a contract and the contract itself.
Judge Lewis properly felt that the remedy con-
stitutes part of the contract and enters into the
contemplation of the contracting parties as
much as any part of the bargain. That deci-
sion of Judge Lewis was in consonance with the
spirit of a republican country and republican
age, while the subtle cobweb-work he exploded
was only worthy of the old English bench which
decided that such words were not actionable-
ftyou have poisoned your husband ''Sir
Thomas Holt struck his cook on the head
with cleaver, and cleaved his head; the one
part lay on one shoulder, and the other on the
other" because in the first case, although the
husband was poisoned, possibly he did not die;
and in the second case, though the cooks head
was cleaved into two parts, possibly the wound
was not mortal.
This decision of Judge Lewis showed that he
understood the true spirit of our constitution
His opinion made powerful impression on the
thinking minds of the country, and we notice
that in the new states of the West that opinion
is received as the law. The last decision of the
kind is in the 4th vol. Missouri Reports p. so,
where stay law is decided to impair the obli-
CATION of previous contract, and to be against
the constitution both of the state and Union.
The provision of the Missouri constitution in
this respect is similar TO ours in Pennsylvania.
We will close this hasty sketch by the follow
ing incident of Judge Lewis early practice in
this region. A number of years ago q fugitive
| slave was rescued from the possession of his
owner in Danville, then this county, through a
writ of homiae repLegiando. The Hon. David
| Petriken was the Prothonotary who issued the
writ, and of course actions was brought against
/ all concerned with the writ of rescue. Under
the act of 1893 the penalty of $500 was recov-
cred from several defendants, and suit was then
brought for the same amount against Mr.. Geo.
] Sweeny an editor of public journal. Judge
ment was obtained against him and he was i'm
prisoned With every confidence he sent near
| ly one hundred miles for Mr.. Lewis, who came
and in his argument showed that there was q
distinction between penalties imposed g
punishment, to be recovered by any one who
may sue for them, and those given by statute tc
the party aggrieved. In the former case, each
individual engaged in the ILLEGAL act is liable
to the full penalty. In the latter case, but one
penalty can be recovered for one Illegal act, al
though many might be engaged in it. Mr.
Lewis also showed that with respect to costs
under the act of Congress, where the plaintiff
had his election to bring joint or several suits
and elected to bring several suits, he could only
recover costs in one of them. The result wal
that the imprisoned editor was liberated to the
great joy of his family and friends.-Star Of III

ELLIS LEWIS.

Judge Lewis now President of the Second
Judicial Distrios of Pennsylvania, was born in
1893 in Lcwisburg, York county, Pa, pleas
ant little town which derives it name from his
father, by whom it was founded. His father,
Eli Lewis, was Democrat of the school of jeff
erson, and upon the election of President jeff
erson, was chosen by portion of the citizens of
York county to prepare an address to the Pres
ident. This address, together with Jefferson's
reply, Judge Lewis still carefully preserves in
his possession.
At nine years of age, Ellis Lewis was left an
orphan, and while yet quite young in years
was sent to Harrisburg and learned the prin
ting trade. He next we Mt to New York, and
worked as q journeyman printer by the side OF
Geo. P Morris. He returned to Lewisburg
and commenced the study of medicine, but soon
went to Bal timore. Failing to profit himself
there, he purchased printing establishment
at Williamsport, Pa, where he commenced stud
ying law and edited his paper He soon dlspo-
sed of his printing establishment, and IN the
year 1922 was admitted to the bar. Next year
he was appointed deputy attorney general Tor
Tioga and Lycoming counties, and in 1924 re-
and lucrative practice. A few years after this
he resigned his appointment under the Attor-
ney General, and removed to Bradford county
In 1882 he engaged actively in the political
contest for Gen. Jackson, and was chosen to
the State Convention of that year He Tas al
so that fall elected a member Of the State Legis-
lature, and while in that body voted against
resolutions expressing the opinion of that body
against aTy reduction of the tariff
] In 1888 Mr.. Lewis was appointed Attorney
! General of Pennsylvania by Governor Wolf, but
in the fall of the same year he resigned that
| appointments, and became President Judge OF
this Judicial District This station he filled
until about 1S45, when he was appointed Judge
/ of the I'd District composed of the city and
county of Lancas ter-a district whose popuia-
ton and property exceed that of some states IN
the Union.
But even there Judge Lewis found time I'm
addition to his Judicial work) to discharge the
| duties of Professor of Law and Medical Juris-
prudence in Franklin College, Lancaster, and'
in connection with Messrs McCandless and
! Troubat, to edit a series of valuable law works
In 1S47 he also published work on 'SAmer1can
Criminal Law" which is in the hands OF almost
every practicing member of the profession.
Judge Lewis has also rendered valuable assis-
tance in the publication of the American Law
Journal, or pennsylvania Law journal as II
was first modestly called, the best publication
| of its kind in the country.
His legal reputation extends wider than the
Union, for even on the other side of the Allan
tic, his learning and philosophical mind have
been appreciated, and received the highest tes-
timonals of esteem We shall never forget MS
decision in which he pronounced all such cx
crcscenscs of Legislation as the stay law OF ISL
unconstitutional, and exploded all such subtitle

Patterson, the able President of the Central
Railroad, has made an arrangement with the
Canal Commissioners to keep the Portage Rail

to accumulate the vast trade coming over the
Central and State roads. Our business men
will not fail to thank the Commissioners and
