 We also find the following items in the Mem phis papers of the latest dates
 Quite disgraceful affair occurred on Thurs day night the 18th, at the White House, in which MT. Charles Morrison, an attache of the Memphis theatre, was badly cut by knife in the hands of J. w. Smith, Morrison received several wounds, but they were not of fatal character: He suffers from them very much and IS quite weak from the loss of blood Smith was examined yesterday before Recorder Hill, and fined $50 and costs.
 The "snmmer fights" have commenced in earnest, there having been from three to four fights day for a few days past. We notice a few of the candidates for city honors and emo- luments have been taking hand, merely to get their hand in, probably. For shame, gentlemen to fall out and fight like cats and dogs!

here, where the laws through the peoples re- presentatives, are of the peoples own making, and those who execute them are of the peoples own choosing The only legal means of get ting rid of any statute obnoxious to a minority, is to agitate its repeal, until the justice of charge is generally recognized, and those who constitute the minority, by accession to their numbers, become majority. Until this change is effected, the few must submit to the decision of the many, or republican government cannot exist. It would be nothing but arope of sand, which any dissatisfied persons might at any mo- ment pull to pieces. The government of the United States is not government of any par ticular section of the Union; it is government established, under constitutional guarantees, of the vhohe people, and as longas it subservesthe good of the greatest number, it fultils the end for which it was created Those who live under the protection of its laws have either to obey them or leave the country for one where they can have.a larges license. If they under take to resist the government in the lawful ex- ercise of the authority delegated to it, they de- serve to be considered and should receive the punishment of traitors to constitutional liberty. -DoNar Newspaper, Philadelphia.

Fugitive Slave Excitement and
 Murder of a U. $ Marshal.

Boston has been disgraced by another mob, ln resistance to the execution of the laws. The knot of incendiares in that city who abuse the right of free speech by preaching rebellion against popular rule, have established their char acter as philanthropists and christians, purer than the founder of christianity, by creat- ing a civil instruction, andmurdering an officer in the discharge of his sworn duties We have not all the facts of the occurrence vet but the accounts received gi we sufficient information to enable every reader,to form his own conclusion of the guilt of the parties implicated in the tram saction. A colored man was arrested as fugi- tive slave, and before he had hearing and his true condition established a public meeting was called the act of Congress requiring fugitives to be delivered up was denounced as usUrpa- tion, and the meeting was advised to opanly resist it. Under this wicked and illegal counsel a mob attacked the court house, where the col Ored man was taken for security until hls case should be heard, and in the defence which the officers of the law made to this violent attempt at rescue, one of the officers was killed. The city authorities immediately took measures to preserve the public peace and assist the proper execution ot the laws, by ealing out the militia ". This put check to the operations of the lawless, and until the case cen be determined be the court.
 In the meanw hlle, somebody has incurred 9 fearful responsibility in counselling resistance to the authority ofthe law. In this country above all others law should be predominant, as law is the sovereignty of the people, It is the ex- pression of the popular will and as our govern ment is based upon the absolute rule of the ma jority, or greater number, any resistance to the law is an attempt on the part of the minority or few, by revolution, to overthrow the fundamen- tai principle upon which the government is based.
 Such an audacious attempt to subvert the au- thority of the law, 1t is easy perceive, would, If successful, lead to civil war, anarchy and all the attendant horrors of intestine commotion, such as we see Mexico and other southeth coun- tries, republics only in name, continually con- vulsed with. Whatever cause may exist for riot and revolution in countries where the prin- elple Of sovereignty is less universal than in fhS. ylGtenee never can be the rightiul remedy

not of course say. The prisoner is between thirty y-fve and forty years of age of general ap- pearance, and is represented as having possess ed personal charms of no ordinary character, some of which she still retains. Whether 1t is the extraordinary character in which she has chosen to appear, or her peculiar fitness to fact her part well," it is difficult to say; but true it is, the drama as cast excites deep interest.
 A dispatch dated Troy, May 28, says:
 The jury in the case of Henrietta Robinson, charged with murder, after being out nearly three hours, returned with verdict of guilty. She received the verdict with great boldness. and exclaimed Shame on you, Judge; you are prejudiced against me-" She also charged the jury with being bribed. Sentence was de- ferred until Monday morning. toallow her coun- sel to bring in bill of exceptions.

Later from China.

Therevolutionary drama in China is approach ing the last act and ere long the curtain will fall upon the usurping Emperor in full flight, and the Prince of the ancient dynasty of Ming be restored to the throne from which his ancestors were driven by the Tartart
 The news from China is highly favorable to the prospects of the revolutionists. We have at last some definite account of the state of affairs ill Peking, and of the fact that the rebels were within seventy miles of that capital, with everything favoring the chances of their success. The 1mperaist forces in this northern strong hold seem to be disorganized and lacking the means of opposing formidable resistance to the threatened attack of the revolutionists, who on the otheA hand, have their agents busily at work in Peking.
 About Canton, matters remain quiet, though the authorities are now convinced their day is fast approaching.
 The winter, favorable for the insurgent South erns, unused to severe cold, has been of ex- traordinary mildness- The Shanghai ice crop is complete failure and singular circumstance it will be necessary for foreign residents to inn port a cargo of the luxury from America
 The Imperalits are trying to prevent teas and silks from reaching Shanghai, where although their custom house is formerly acknowledged, the chances of their obtaining duties is doubtful
