Executive Clemency.-In our paper of Satur-
day, we referred TO the fact that six small boys
the eldest. probably, not more than thirteen years
of age--were confined in Jail; having been con-
vicled of riot, and sentenced 10 term Of from six
10 eight weeks and that petition had been drawn
up and signed by jurors of the Criminal Court,
members of that bar, and other citizens addressed
TO the President of the United States, asking him
10 grant pardon 10 these juvenile offenders, on
the ground of their tender years and the vile
association in The prison with adult, hardened
offenders. On Saturday, the President responded
afirmativey TO the philanlhropic appeal, and the
boys were restored TO liberty. 1t is earnestly
hoped that they will properly appreciate this Ex-
ecutve act Of clemency, and endcavor 10 avoid,
in future, the course that cannot fail 10 produce
disgrace; and be stimulated by an honorable
ambition 10 become useful members Of society.

In the town Of Centre Star, Lauderdale coun-
ty, Alabama, there is, or rather there was, a
know-nothing lodge which numbered one hum
dred and twenty-five members. A very large
majority Of the lodge soon became thoroughly
disguised with Know nottingham, its leaders,
doctrines, and practices, which disgust resulted
in their quietly Withdrawing from the order.
The North .alabamian, leading Know nothing
organ, accounts for this wholesale stampede after
this fashion:
"The anti-American papers hereabouts are
making great smiraton' over the Know mo-
thing explosion of Centre Star council, in Lau-
derdale county, Alabama. The facts of the case
are simply these, informed: The coun-
Gil numbered about 1875 members, among whom
were number Of hard cases, which the more
respectable portion of the council wished TO get
rid Of, and as the easiest way to accomplish that,
without wounding their feelings and creating ex-
element, they concluded to disband, which they
did,
The withdrawing members, numbering eighty
persons, with the view Of letting the public
know who the ''hard cases" were whom the mi
nority succeeded in getting rid of, have published
card, in which their reasons are given in detail
for their withdrawal from the lodge. The "hard
cases" prove TO be some of the most respectable
citizens in northern Alabama, as the following
list of their names satisfac torily demonstrates.

The Omnibus.-lt is said that San omnibus IS
never FULL" This is untrue but il may safely be
remarked that the vehicle is never overloaded.
In proof, we yesterday saw two poor half.ied
horses, staggering from the navy yard with their
excessive load Of human beings. Twelve mor,als
We're wedged inside, and there was not room for
another passenger, even edgewise; but boy
took position on the steps, and srasped the door
frame. On the top Of the vehicle were five men,
exclusive OF the driver and a companion on the
same seat Thus freighted, there was not the
least danger of The quadrupeds running away
IN fact, il was as much as they could do TO trot
along, al slow gait. The driver probably would
have accommodated other passengers had any
hailed. him for that purpose. Even during this
brong weather, there is not much compassion
exhibitedby 'the whips for horse flesh.

ChiId's Caui.-Several days ago. the New
on this subject, called forth by an advertisement
IN that paper, offering for SALE 10 captains and
others, child's caul al the price of two hundred
dollars
Our contemporary, with It's accustomed ability,
showed that cauls were, by some sailors, highly
estimated il being supposed by them that, having
one on board, neither storm, hurricane, nor
hidden rocks, could harm the good ship thus pro-
vded with the charm We presume that such
an article is about as eicacious as the touching
of an august sovereign for the of scrofuous
diseases and such is the opinion ofevery one pos.
sessing the ordinary quantity of common sense in
these enlightened days
But the superstition is not confined 10 those
who " follow the sea" Among The colored popu.
aton of the South, an idea is prevalent that one
born with caul over his face scan see ghosts =
and because the writer OF this article did not
make his entrance into the world with his head
thus covered, was the cause assigned by an aged
negro why we could not call spirits from the
Vastly deep" He, however, could, having been
favored in that wise, and had repeatedly seen
ghosts in all their various forms And gentle
man of our acquaintance recently informed us that
his old slave nurse, having preserved the caul
belonging TO him, could tell, according her olcR
story, by the appearance of il, when he was alb
sent, whether he was sick or well! To reason with
her was out OF the question. She was firm in
her conceit, and remains SO until this day.

TO take them from Mr. Wheeler
Answer was, if they desired il.
Cross-examined.-Wm Still, a colored man,
first informed me of the matter; he laid upon my

to the wharf and attend TO IL, that was poinp

Answer do not recollect which said No
man has rights that are not legal rights.
told Still to get the names if he could, and il
they went 10 New York we would telegraph there;
he said there nothing in the way Of their re-
naming here If they wished told him TO hur-
ry down TO the wharf and see that their wishes
were complied with. My first idea was TO get
cut writ of habeas corpus here, but as there was
| no Judge in town, thought il best TO telegraph;
| was afraid that as the boat was about starting
we would not have time TO accomplish anything
| Still said nothing TO interfere; when went down
| to the boat saw him talking to Mr.. Wheeler; he
is clerk at the Anti-Slavery Office in North Fifth
street; Still was the only person on board knew
! saw him this morning; wo had conversation
respecting this case; conversed as TO the safety
Of the parties; he said they were safe, and thai
| they would not return under any circumstances
he did not tell me where they were; am secre
tary Of the acting committee Of the old Pennsyl-
vania Anti-Slavery Society. Mr.. Still did not
tell me at what time the party returned; do moi
know who got into the carrage; ! saw IL drive off,
Mr.. Vandyke contended that the respondent I
testimony was no testimony at all. His statement
was not sufficient 10 contradict the positive evi.
i dence of DISTINGUISHED witnesses. ID was appa.
