INTERESTING CASE.

We give below, from the Fayettc.
vile Argus, an account Of . case tried
IN Richmond County before his lInnor
Judge Saunders. IS casrs Of this kind
seldom occur under our laws, we give
il for the benefit oi our readers.
A very interesting case was that Of
the State against Wesley Jacobs. free
man Of color, for migrating into the
State contrary to tie Statute OF 1896
Rev. Stat. Chap. CXI Sec. 6J, &c aud
e.. The defendant was a native Of
The State, and had been carried out 81
the State and brought back by his pa.
rents while an infant. lie remained
out more than ninety DAYS, and bad
been back more than three years bcfurc
notice was given to leave; and having
been notified tn leave and refusing to
do so. the action was FOR the penalty
.nt five hundred dollars. &c., and To
sell in case Of failing t"pay. The de-
fences set up we're: lst, that the de-
PENDANT was native citizen OF the
State, therefore Gould not be deprived
Of his citizenship By the Legislature in
the manner contemplated by this act.
End, that the action was barred br the
Statute of limitations, which began to
run Immediately upon the return Of
the defendant into the State. ST., that
the defendant was taken out of the
St,te aud brought back without his
consent, and therefore he had violated
no law. The facts as well as the law
were submitted to the Court BY the
Counsel ON both sides, for trial and
the facts being found as above, the
Court was Of opinion with the defen-
dant on the law ; and the judgment was

KossUTH.-We had almost forgotten
that this once notorious individual was
still in existence when he suddenly
turns up from his London retreat in i
flaming address to the Germans Of
these United States, in which he tells
them that The Senate Vt the United
States have, by rejecting the nomna
tion Of George Sanders TO the Consul
late Of London, inflicted Il mortal blow
upon the liberties Of Europe. lie,
therefore, feels himself called upon
by this outrageous act of the American
Senate to appeal to them zinc aforesaid
Gerlnans) TO exert their influence ac-
lively and zcalously over the press and
the people in order to remedy the ter
riblc mischief which that body has
done in the Sanders affair. Ii il not
necessary for US To say more Of this
document than that it is marked with
the characteristic impudencc of its au-
Thor. His id,a Of our institutions aud
proper interests is an extravayantly
ignorant one, and be seems to be i'm

PRESIDENT PIERcE's 0PINIoH.--in the
MANY changes and twistings of locoIo-
co organs to make political capital for
the party, it is almost next to imp0s-
sible TO learn with certainty what are
the views Of the administration, parti-
eularlv upon the Nebraska bill. AT
one time, the President is said BY his
organ to favor the bill without any ex-
press or implied repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise bill !; bat when an amend
ment to that effect from Wing Scna.
tor, is likely to thwart the purpose OF
the mover Of the bill. il is suddenly
incorporated as part Of the bill, and
the organ declares it thus modified tn
be an administration measure. Then
the organ, pending the New IIamp-
shire election, saws the President will
consider a support of the bill test Of
Democratic orthodoxy. but after the
election is over the . faithful" are re-
quired to swear by it.
The latest exposition Of the views 81
die President that We have seen, comes
From Ex-senator Clemens Of Alabama.
In a letter published in the Hunts
vile (Aa.) Advocate, he gives the fol>
lowing account of the views Of Presi-
dent Pierce:
But few days SINCE says Mr..
Clemens, IN conversation with a
Narthcrn Senator and IN, self, he Pre-
sideBt Pierce gave Il as his DECIDED
opiniun that Douglass bill was pro-
