OSE or THE BETTER CLASS OF CITIzENs.--A cor
respondent at Kennett Square, Chester county,
Pennsylvania, sends us the following article, trans
lated from the "Berlingske Tidente," daily jour
nal of Copenhagen Clipper
"a man named --, who in 1918 was con-
demned by the Superior Court Of Copenhagen TO
Imprisonment for life, and who, after having been
twenty-eight years in Copenhagen, was sent TO
Gluckstadt, has lately been set at liberty.
born in Nassau, In carly years he joined the
robber band Of Peter Mann, or, rs he was called,
Black Peter, and, in connection with the band, In
1911. he broke into the Stockendorf property,
near Lubbock. on which occasion the whole house
hold were bound and maltreated. He and his
comrades were soon afterwards arrested in Luz
beck. and after a two years trial In Copenhagen,
Peter Mann was condemned TO death, and the
other participants in the crime to Imprisonment
for life.
"The liberated prisoner has survived all of his
fellow criminals, and by his good conduct in the
prison Of Gluckstadt, he enlisted the sympathy Of
many yisiters and the favor Of his overseer. A
citizen of Hamburg especially interested himself
for him, and In October, 1851, got up petition Of
the city authorities praying for his pardon, under
the condition that he should emigrate to America
This petition remained unanswered until short
time since, when intelligence came through the
Judiciary Department In Kiel, that the King Of
Denmark had granted it, and pardoned the pri'
soner, with the express condition, however, that
he should 20 Immediately to America This con
dition has been complied with, as the berated
prisoner has already started after having received

HAYTI.-A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune writes from Hayti that the black Emperor
Soulouque, has, since his elevation to power, Sc
cured for himself one or more of the best estates
in every parish Of his empire. The same writer
goes on to say that the Heterogeneous elements
Of Hayden society are better consolidated under
the present sovereign than at any time since the
administration of Boyer, and the prospect of a
DENOMINATION can only be prevented by his death,
which is not at all improbable, in view Of his ad-
vanced age and physical Affections. colored
man, sent to Hayti as an agent of the National
Board of Emigration organized by the free colored
people Of tie United States, has been in Port au
Prince, and held interviews with the British Con-
sui and members of the Cabinet.
On the 9Th Of July slight shocks ofan earthquake
were felt at Port au Prince. Soulouque is said to
be secretly in favor of Protestant Christianity, hav-
ing become SO by contact with American emigrants
at pArcahaye, in 1924, and subsequently. The
Catholic priests are said to have dcgenerated into
all kinds Of RIGHTEOUSNESS and immortality, in con-
sequence of the black rulers having jealousy ex-
cluded all bishops, and thus allowing no supervi-
sion of the priests. According to the correspon-
dent of the Tribune, they often become the sub
jects of punishment at the hands Of the govern
ment.

Three prominent political sections in the State
of New York have had their general Conventions
and published the usual series of resolutions upor
which they respectively base their claims to popu
lar support. Without going into analysis O
their peculiar tenets, it is enough to say that be-
tween the National Democracy and the KnowNoth
ings there is but one shade of well grounded diff
ference--the former approving and the latter con
demning the Missouri Compromise. This differ
ence is more imaginary than real, as both propose
to resist all efforts at its restoration In regard te
the questions of religious tolerance, and the re-
peal or modification of the naturalization laws
they are evidently mere MISUNDERSTANDING con
siderable portion of the American people regard
ing such matters as of very serious consequence
and practically of public interest at the present
time--N Y Herald.
What right has the Herald or any other paper
to assert that no considerable portion Of the Amer
lean people regard the modification Of the natu
ralzation laws as matter of serious consequence
What but this very question has agitated the whole
country from one extreme TO the other9 We pro
test against such assumptions as this of the Herald
inasmuch as they are utterly unfounded and IN
iustifiabe.

EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF FIsH.--That part
Of the city basin well known rs Hughes's Quay,
lying at the foot of Federal Hill, now presents
very singular scene, and attracts thousands of per-
sons by its novelty. 1t appears that during Mon
day night, immense shoals of fish were drfted along
the branch to the basin by the flood tide and they
accumulated in such numbers that at first il seemed
impossible to remove them. IL is supposed that,
in consequence of quantity of poisonous gaseous
matter which flowed into the water from some
neighboring factory, and covered itswhoIe Surface,
the inny tribe no sooner came in contact with it
than they were suddenly deprived Of life, and float
ed along at the mercy of the waves. Information
was conveyed to Dr. Houck, Commissioner Of
Health, who Immediately ordered thlir removal,
but after eight scow loads had been taken away,
it seemed to the men that there we're still greater
quantity to be removed than when they first COM
menced to take them away. Mr.. Langly B. Culley,
the Port Warden, has been ordered to repair TO
the scene, with dozen of his largest scows and a
steam tug, and to eadeavor to effect their immed-
ate removal for, IL they remain, the awful stencil
