In the case of Phillips, who was tarred
aud ieathered at Weston on the ground that
he abetted McCrea in the homicide Of Clark,
as soon as the news of the outrage reached
this place Chief Justice Lecompte started at
once for Fort Leayenworh, caused the par
ties lsome eight or ten in number) to be ar
rested and examined and bound them over
to keep the peace and TO appear and answer
TO the charge of assault and forcble abduc-
ton. Two or three of them were members
of the Bar, aud one clerk in his own Court.
The course of the Chief Justice, himself a
Southern man. has been marked throughout
by great iiunness and fairness, and II is gra-
tifying TO know that in the discharge of his
high duties he will show no political favor.-
1t IS also cheering indication of that reac-
ton which is taking place in public senti-
ment and bringing men here TO a sounder
state Of feeling, TO learn that the great maio
rliy of the Pro-Slayery men in Leayenworth
condemn the outrage ON Phillips and are dis
posed to admit that the homicide committed
by McCrea was justificable, being in seli>de-
Tense.

Virginia which has been seeking vent all the
week against Massachusetts and Senator
Wilson could hold no longer, aud Mr.. Bowlin
of that State opened upon them in a long

wide open. The tide poured in torrent for
near three hours. The Union went all 10

The Nationsl Council Of the Know Moth

the Assembly Rooms, corner of Tenth and
Cbesnut-sls. Nearly every State is repre-.
scented, including Texas, Arkansas and
California. MIR. J. w. Barker Of New York,

deniials Of the various delegations were re-.
ceived md examined Those Of several
States we're pronounced imperfect In what
particular this imperfeciion lies was not stat
ed. President Barker preserved dignlied
silence on this point, contenting himself with
declaring the fact. The Massachusetts
members who, for this reason, are not yet
admitted to the inner chamber. believe that
It is a pretense SO far as they are con-
cerned, arising from a wish to snub them FOR
their boldness upon the Slavery question, and
to be followed up, if the courage and power
do not fail, by an entire exclusion. But
this would be too gross an outrage. and if
the power docs not fail, the courage to exc
cute il will. OHIO and Arkansas are also
held II allegiance on the ground of imperfect
credentials. A Committee was appointed to
examine into the facts concerning these
cases and report tomorrow, to which time
the Council then adjourned without transact
ing any further business.

men gild their teeth, the Indians paint them
red, whilst in Guzurat the pearl of the teeth
to be beautiful must be dyed black, The
ladies of Arabia stain their fingers and toes
red, their eyebrows black, and their lips
blue In Persia, they paint black streak
round the eyes, and ornament their faces
with various figures. In Greenland the wo-
men color their faces with blue and yellow,
whilst the Hottentot women paint in com
partments of red aud black. Hindoo females,
when desirous of appearing particularly
lovely, smear themselves with mixture OF
saffron, tumeric and grease. In ancient
Persia an aquiline nose was often thought
worthy of the crown; but the Sumatran
mother carefully hattens the nose of her
daughter. An African beauty must have
small eyes, thick lips, and large fiat nose.
