VERY RIcH-The Spiritual Harbinger, q
paper printed in Rochester, New York, and
advocating the spiritual rapping mania, has
the following:
"In the twelfth hour the glory of God, the
life Of God, the Lord of God, the Holy Pro-
cedure, shall crown the Tribune Creator with
the perfect disclosive illumination. Then
shall the Creation, in effulgence above the
divine seraphimal, arise into the dome of the
disclosure in one comprehensive revolving
galaxy of supreme created Beatitudes."
After copying the above paragraph, the
Cayuga Chief responds as follows:
"Then shall blockheads in the Jackassical
dome of disclosive procedure, above the all
fired great leatherfungus of Peter, Np-nin-
ny go, the Goosebery Grinder, rise into the
dome of the disclosure, until co equal and
co-extensive and conglomerated lumuxes, in
one comprehensive mux, shall assimlate, into
nothing and revolve like bobtailed pussycat
after the space where the tail was! Can the
Harbinger understand our spiritual manifes-
tations"

DELAWARE CosvENTIcS.-The constitu-
tionaI convention of Delaware has decided
that judges shall henceforth be chosen by the
people at their regular State election. The
salaries of each are as follows: chief justice,
1900; chancellor and associate justices, L.
900 each. The house OF delegates is to con-
sist of twenty.nine members, not under
twenty-four years of age-twelve from New
castle, eight from Kent, and nine from Sus-
sex. The coRention has also voted that no
clergyman, while officiating as such, shall be
elected to any political office; also, that no
bank charter shall be granted by any future
legislature until after three months notice of
application shall have been publicly adver-
tsed in at least three Delaware newspapers.
The legislature is not to have power to eman-
cipate slaves without the consent of their
owners, and free persons of color are not to
be allowed to come into and remain in theState
longer than ten days. Contracts with free
persons Of color coming into the State con-
trary to law are declared void, and any per-
son hiring any such colored person will be
subject to a fine of not less than ten dollars,
nor more than one hundred dollars. The
vote of the people is to be taken upon the
new constitution at the next general election.

JOAQUIN AND HIS GANG.-Neither in the
pages Of romance nor in the authentic annals
of history have we found robber whose ca
reer has been marked with atrocities half so
dreadful as that of joaquin GARLIC, who now
ranges the mountains within sixty miles Of
this city. 1t has been the fashion Of the histo-
rian and the novelist to trace in the charac-
tiers of their bandit heroes some redeeming
traits, but in the conscience of this blood
thirsty villain there appear to be no qualms,
no mercy or reproach. He rides through the
settlements slaughtering the weak and un-
protected, as if mania for murder possess
ed his soul. So daring and reckless is he,
that he marches in the day time through
thickly peopled settlements and actually cor.
rels the Chinese by the score, and yet so fer
tile is he in expedients, ard so accurate in his
knowledge of that wild region, that he baf-
fles his pursuers and defeats the plans of the
many thousands who are lying in wait for
him. So complete is the organization of the
band under his control, that 1--WE are told)
relays of the fleetest horses in the country
await him almost every step.-San Joaquin
(Cal0 Republican, March 5.

THE SHIP CANAL.-As the subject of the
inter-oceanic canal has recently been brought
before the people of our section, we publish
the following paragraph in relation thereto,
from the Charleston Courier
We have hero in the State Department,
some evidence of the fact, that the Darien
ship canal is to be carried on and absolutely
executed. have seen the maps and surveys
Of the engineers of the British company. The
canal is to be forty miles in length, from the
foot of Escora to San Miguel. 1t will be
100 feet wide and 30 feet deep. Its cost is
estimated by the engineers, Osborne and
Forde, at only sixty millions of dollars. The
money is already raised. The British Gov
eminent has sanctioned it. The French Gov
eminent approves of it, and promises it sup
port. The enlightened Emperor had that
subject in view while he resided in England,
as will be seen from his reply to the address
on this subject, from the President of the
company, Sir Charles Fox, the Railway Prince
of the house of Fox g. Henderson. Ii is not
generally known, perhaps, but it is fact,
Louis Napoleon was the first person who ever
obtained grant to construct canal across
the Nicaraguan Isthmus. He lost it, however,
by inability to fulfil the contract; neverthe-
less, he takes great interest in the subject of
communications between the Pacific and
Atlantic.
The Daren ship canal is to be finished be-
fore the Tehuantepet rail road will be begun,
according to present appearances.

The LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD
The New York Tribune refers TO Mr.. Derbys
argument before the tunnel committee of the
Massachusetts, legislature, and says:
ave are surprised that Mr.. Derby in his
speech made no reference to the long tunnel
which the little kingdom of Saxony-a fifth
less in extent than Massachusetts, though
with half million more population-hns been
for many years constructing, 10 drain the
mines at Nielsen. The tunnel was in rapid
progress four years since, and must BY this
time be nearly, if not quito, completed 1t
begins at Meissen, on the Elbe, and ends at
Ereiberg-a distance of twenty-four Eng
lish miles! So far as we know, this is the
longest tunnel in the world" .
The proposed Hoosac tunnel, the con-
struction of which is fetcely discussed in the
Boston papers, will be, when completed, a.
100 feet in length, or upwards Of four miles,
The projectors say it can be finished in five
years. This is denied by its opponents, on
the ground that shorter tunnels on other
roads took much greater proportional time.
1t is estimated that this extraordinary work
can be built within the time specified, and for
a cost of S2,OOO,0OO. The line proposed 10
no doubt eminently useful to the trade Of
Boston; and if in the opinion of the engi.
neers the route is practicable, the opponents
may rest satisfied that its construction is q
"fxed fact"

GENERAL dAyNAU's CoRPsE.-A most ex-
traordinary account has reached us in a pr-
vate letter from Vienna to high parsonage
here, and has been the talk of our salons for
the last few days. 1t appears that the cir
cumstance of the death of Gen. Haynau pre-
scented a phenomenon Of the most awful
kind on record. For many days after death
the warmth of life yet fingered in the right
arm and left leg of the corpse, which remain
ed limp and moist, even bleeding slightly
when prcked No delusion, notwithstand-
ing, could be maintained as to the reality of
death. for the other parts of the body were
completely mortified, and interment became
necessary before the two limbs above men,
toned had become either stiff or cold The
writer Of the letter mentioned that this
strange circumstance has produced the great
est awe in the minds of those who witnessed
it, and that the Emperor had been so impress
ed with it, that his physicians had strictly for
hidden the subject to be alluded to in his pre-.
scnce.-PdriS correspondent of the Atlas.

COMMERCIAL LAW DEcrsIoN.-In the Su-
perior Court of New York, Judge Oakley re-
Gently decided a commercial case of much
importance. The action was brought for the
recovery Of $2,6l4,73, being the amount of
several notes and drafts given as collateral
security for loan of $4,000, obtained by the
plaintiffs from the defendant, on the ground
that the loan was usurious and in case the
loan be not held to have been usurious, to
recover $6l4,73, being the excess of the col
laterals over the amount loaned. At the tr-
al, the plaintiffs abandoned the plea of usury,
and claimed only the excess of the amount
of the colaterals over the loan, $4,000, with
interest) The $4,000 was not paid at the
maturity Of the loan, and the defendant sold
the notes, after notice, in the market, for Just
sufficient to cover the amount lent The
Judge held, that the defendant was bound to
hold the collateral notes until they matured,
and collect them in the usual way; any def
cheney or excess should be accounted for
In previous transactions of this description,
the usage has been to sell the notes in cases
Of default Of payment on the part of the
borrower. The question is new one, never
having before been brought before the courts.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW IssUE.-We have
had good opportunity (remarks the Louis
vile JournaD of seeing how this thing, this
introduction of the Maine liquor law into
politics, has operated in the Eastern States.
In Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,,
and Vermont, the Maine liquor law has been
made an element in the election, and, in every
case, it has contributed, to the extent of the
whole numerical force it could command, to
weaken and defeat the wing party. The
wing papers of the States we have mentioned
unanimously testify, that, although the indi-
cations before the elections were that large
proportion of the democrats would vote for
the liquor law candidates without reference
to party politics, yet, when the time came,
they didn't cast single vote for liquor law
candidates except where the liquor law can
didates happened to be also the regular loco
foco candidates. The wings in those States
were vilely cheated and humbugged, and they
now see and proclaim the fact at the same
time acknowledging themselves to be hear
tly ashamed of it.

SUIcIpE.-Tbos. Trotter, laboring under
the effects Of mania potu, believing himself
pursued by an enemy, acted Friday in n man
ner dangerous to the public peace, and was
arrested and lodged in Jail. During the night
he hung himself with handkerchief, and
was found in his room dead Saturday, when
the jailor made his usual morning visit to the
prisoners 1t appeared that before resortng
to the handkerchief, he had tried TO cut his
throat with piece Of glass which he broke
from window for that purpose, and which
was discovered in the room bloody. Trotter
was about so years old, and has brother,
we learn, living near Spring Hill in this State.

FREIGHT REDucED.-We have been in
formed that the freight on Corn, shipped
through to the seabord cities, has been re-
duced three cents per bushel, that is, one cent
on each road. This reduction does not in
clude shipments to intermediate points, but
only upon car loads billed for Savannah or
Charleston. We are pleased at this small
reduction, and have no doubt the Railroad
Companies will before long find it to their
interest to still further reduce the freight
upon the staple article of our section.
