TO his death in consequence OF a wound inflicted up-
on him with knife, or some sharp instrument, held
in the hand OF one Josiah York, which knife or 9th

SERIOUS AND PROBABLY FATAL ASSAULT.
About three O'Clock Friday morning, some diff
fculty occurred in the Glendon Rolling Mills, at
East Boston, between Jeremiah Humphrey and
another workman, when third workman named
Thomas Hussey remarked that it was too bad
that they should quarrel, whereuponIlI Humphrey
turned upon Hussey and struck him violent
blow, causing him TO la heavily upon heap of
iron. In bis fall, Hussey struck the back of his
neck on bar of iron, and was rendered nearly
senseless. About five O'Clock, Constable Rice
arrested Humphrey, and committed him TO the
watch-house. Upon his person, he found piece
Of round iron, formed in the shape Of billy
The prisoner was fully committed TO Jail, to await
the result Of the accident. The physicians at last
accounts continued to remain with Hussey, and
were Of the opinion that he could not long sur
vive as the spine Of his neck is broken, and
blood-vesse was ruptured. Since the Oilray oc-
Cured, Hussey has had no feeling whatever in
any part of his body or limbs, with the exception
Of his head and neck.
Hussey is 81 years of age, and has wife and
one child Humphrey is about the same age and
an Ehglishman by birlh.-BoSion Journal

Cass ON The Higher Law.

''Independent of its connection with human
destiny hereafter, believe the fate Of Republi-
can Government is indissolubly bound up with
the faith of the Christian religion, and the people
who repeal its holy faith will find themselves the
stGces q their olcn euit passions and Of Gr6ttra-
ny poper.''
General Cass made use of the above language
In a speech which he recently delivered IN the
U. S. Senate. 1t seems to US that this does not
sound exactiy orthodox according to the faith OF
old fogeyism. The General seems to favor the
"bigher law'' heresy, defended in the same Sen
ale of the United States in 1851, by VIM. Ii.
Seward, as well as by those unhealthy politi-
cians,'' J. p Hale, Salmon P. Chase, and Chas.
Sumner.
The astute Michigander does not positively say
that the Fugitive Slave Law is an infamous law,
and that il ought to be repealed, but he neverthe
less describes the present character of the gov
eminent of the United States, and shows why
slavery reigns supreme in so many state govern
ments, and in the national government
The interests of slavery, in this nation, have
supervened the laws of God. Slavery has be-
come the s'higher law therefore our law makers
have become the slaves of 'stheir own evil pas
sions,'' and our people the slaves cf ''arbitrary
power Who knows but General Cass's north
preiudices in favor of christianity and liberty
may revive,now that the Presidency has become
a hopeless hope?

SCENES AT THE WHITE HOUsE.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York Herald,
writing under date of March %, says
'The Presidents reception to-day was crowded.
and some amusing scenes occurred. One ambitious
fellow stepped up to the President with the prepara
tory remark oi-'l'm an applicant for Office Glad
to see you, sir was the reply-'Good morning;'-
and off the President glded. Some of the audience
had their papers in their hands, all ready for pre-
senaton, but Sergeant O'NeaI dexterously got pos
session of them before they could reach their des-
ina'on. One applicant managed to thrust his papers
in the Presidents hands, but they we've dropped
like hot Goals. The Mayor of Baltimore and de-
putahon were received, and the worthy civic func-
tonary commenced TO clear his throat for formal
address; but Gen. Pierce was too quick for him, for
no sooner was the address began than he begged
the pleasure of shaking hands with all the delega-
ton, and thus escaped the worthy Mayors Grafton.
