Hen. Edward Stanly.

The other day, in cause before an
honorable Judge of Santa Clara county,
California, a. very fatteriDg compliment
was paid by the jury to the Hon. Edward
Stanly, of North Carolina, who was en-
gagged in the suit 1t appears that Mr.
Stanly was under the impression that a
conspiracy existed against the clients
rights, who was none other than the cele-
brated pioneer, Capt. Graham, of San
Diego, whose residence in the country
dates from 1882. In the course Of his
argument, Mr.. Stanly took occasion to
allude to unfairness which seemed to
characterize the proceedings, at the same
time intimating what the court deemed a
suspicion that it was not entirely unblas.
ed. Whereupon, the clerk was ordered
to fine Mr.. Stanly twenty-five dollars for
contempt That gentleman stopped IN
his argument, walked up to the clerk S
desk and paid the fine, remarking at the
same time that nothing gave him more
pleasure than at all times to render cheer
ful obedience to the constituted authori-
ties OF his country, and continued his arg
ument. Mr. Stanly afterwards took oc-
casion in his address to the jury to thank
God he liyad in free republic where the
truth might be told to - honest men and
the teller not always punished for SO doing
Mr.. Stanly gained his case, and the jury,
after having rendered their verdict, en-
closed complimentary note to Mr.. Stan
ly with the amount of the fine that His
Honor had imposed, which that gentle
man returned with an assurance OF his
appreciation of the compliment, and re-
quest that they would give the money tc
some charitable institution, for the benefit
of those who needed it more than himself
or to some clergymen whose mission wa:
to preach the Gospel of Truth!

A Devil Of a Woman,

at St. Louis, in the afternoon Of the
9Th inst, Mrs. Baker followed one Hof
man into dry goods store, aud fired al
him with pistol. He retreated behind
the counter, and stopped under it, whith,
er she pursued him, leaned over the coun,
ter, and, placing the pistol close to his
back, fred again-the ball eptering his
back just below the point of the right
shoulder blade. Whether the lungs OF
the liver had been touched in its course
could not be definitely ascertained,
The murderess was arrested and COM
to prison. The Democrat says: "The
immediate cause of the shooting is not
known. 1t will be remembered that, a
suit was brought against Mrs Baker for
assault with intent to kill, on affidavit OF
Hoffman, the case being based on the oc-
currences at the st. Charles Hotel. We
heard yesterday that Hoffman has in his
possession some letters of Mrs. Ba-
ker's, which this trial will bring ont. 1t
is surmised that t! is may have had an in
iuence to bring about she assault of yes
terday evening. There are more rumors
however, which may or may be correct.
The ball was subsequently discovered
and extracted from about the middle of
the abdomen, and it was thought that
Hoffman would recover. The ball ap-
peared to have passed through his body,
to the abdomen, without cutting the lungs,
liver, or any other vital part. Hoffman
was some time ago brutally cowhided by
the husband Of Mrs, Baker.

ilydrOpbObia Cured ty Vinegar.

The Ancyjcan 1lollo publishes the fol-
lowing extract Of letter from Venice, on
the subject of this fearful disease:
If you were here, you would be much
pleased with a discovery made at Udine,
the capital of Fruili, a small province be-
longing to this republic The discovery
is this: A poor man, lying under the
frightful tortures Of the hydrophobia, was
cured by some draughts of vinegar, given
him by mista ke instead of another potion.
A physician of Padua, called Count Leo
nissa, got intelligence of this event at T.
dine, and tried the same remedy upon a
patient that was brought to the Padua
Hospital, administering to him opound Of
vinegar in the morning, another at noon,
and third at sunset, and the man was
speedily and perfectly cured.
| have diffused through Italy this dis
covery, by means of periodical paper
that | am writing; and hope that you
will make it known in England by means
of your public papers, and | am sure this
a. astonishing remedy will have as happy an
effect there as it had here. So should
be glad to be apprized of it, that may
relate it in my said paper. As you have
orem rambling dogs in London than we
have here, it isprobablc that the expert
ment will soon be tried, and, please God,
with good success. Your humanity assures
me that you will not delay moment to
lcquaint your countrymen with this, as
| have done mine"

rs= The Treaty with Mexico, recently
negotiated by Mr.. Gadsden on the part OF
the United States, was rejected in the Sen
ate on Monday. TweDty-six Senators
voted for its confirmation and eighteen a
gainst it. Hence, as the Treaty was not
sustained by two third vote, it fell to
the ground, and with it fell the hopes Of
a gang of scoundrcls who hoped, through
instrumentality, to transfer from the l.
S. Treasury TO their own pockets several
millions Of dollars. If the injunction OF
secrecy shall be thrown of, and the de-
bates in the Senate upon this Treaty be
made public, we shall be able to discern
more corruption than the whole brood Of
Galphius and Gardiners could ever con-
cevie. 1t is said by those who are well
informed in relation to its provisions, that
this Treaty is mere partition Of large
sums Of money, to be obtained from the
United States, among Santa Anna and
the host of speculatiDg politicians who are
Interested in the S.oo and Garay grants.
Let Us he thankful that We have escaped
from the whole brood, and let us trust that
Gen. Gadsden will retire to the shades Of
private life satisfied with his short expert
ence in the diplomatic world.-SuSScz,

VIII Slavery go into Nebraska.

We had talk, few days ago, with
two large slave owners from the central
part of Missouri. They we're both intel
ligcnt men, and evidently possess much
influence at home. TO our questioning
as to the Nebraska feeling up in their
neighborhood, aud if they were going to
ia Ike their slaves into the new territory:
and instantly the reply was, "of course
we are-we must be great fools to make
all this fuss with the North, if we didn't
mean to make slave territory OF It, NO
sir, we are not so green, as to get up this
fuss for nothing" But would their slaves
be safe without any express laws to hold
them, ave will take care of that, sir
If Congress will let US take our slaves
there, it is bound to protect US, or let US
protect ourselves"
Such was the talk of the MiSsourians,
and a great deal to the effect, that slave
holders would take the lead in Nebraska,
as they did in Missouri, and once settled
with their slaves, they had no concern as
to keeping them there. They achnowl,
edged the mischief Of slavery, and deplor-
ed it as an evil; nevertheless, they would
10 their utmost for its extension and main
tenance at every hazard, their proper
tionatc balance in the Government of the
United States. It's an easy matter to
talk of the principles of 'non-intervention
and the safety Of Freedom with the people
but it is sheer blindness or wickcdness,
that wont see the danger OF the extension
of slavery, If permitted by Congress in the
territory of Ncbraska-&l"iAefc0 (W)

unfounded, as she is now anchored.at the
Quarantine in safety.
TIE WRECK OE THE UNDERWATER.
BY the last accounts from this vessel
we learn that all her passengers were
landed in safety and sent to New York,
The Underwater was first class vessel
of 1900 tons, and had upwards of five
hundred passengers on board At the
time she went ashore, she was under
reefed sail, moving at eight knots an
hour; and. it being very dark, the first
warning of danger was the shock of the
vessel striking upon the bar. The con-
sternation among the passegers was be-
yond description, and the efforts of the Of
fcers were unavailing to quiet their ap
prehensions that the vessel would imme
diatel y 60 to pieces.
The hand of the steamboat Delaware,
from this city, whom We announced in
yesterdays News, by telegraph, as having
been drowned while attempting to get
line on board the Underwater, was named
Barney Leland, and resides in Broom
street, New York His body has been
recovered. Daily NeacS.
