BosroN, May 1.-THE case Of Joseph Hiss, ar
rested yesterday for debt, was brought before the
Supreme Court this forenoon, and on motion Of
the plaintiffs counsel the writ Of habeas corpus was
dismissed.
This proceeding Is said to have originated on
the ground that Judge Shaw would require sworn
affidavit that the whole case was genuine and not
trumped up for purpose otherwise than the collec-
ton of a debt This is probably the last public APP
pearance of Joseph Hiss.

The New York Express of yesterday thus en-
horts the lukewam Wings of Virginia to vote the
American ticket:
IL Is very true that a great many Democrats
will vote for Flournoy--Democrats In the Know
Nothing Lodges-and Democrats out--but 1t Is
not the less true--that there are good many
Whigsin Virginia, who are waiting for plausible
pretences TO get out Of the party, and who will
avail themselves of this to resist the Know-Noth-
ing nomination. There may be from 5000 to
5000 such men, and we should not be surprised if
there were. Thus-if Wise is defeated--only de-
feated--we shall consider il the greatest victory
" Sam" has ever achieved over impudence, not 10
say eloquence, passion, prejudice, and extreme
Southern silly fanaticism. We look to no sound
ing, sonorous bulletins of majorities, but hope
simply for victory
How any Virginia Wing, an honest man, can
throw himself into the arms Of Wise & Co., Is more
than we can understand. The talk Of The Northern
Know-Nothings being Abolitionists in disguise, is
the old clap-trap of the Democratic party, using
the negro before election, to scare fools with.
The niger is the sole relic of Southern Demo
cratic stock In trade and no upright, clearheaded
Wing can be meddled by 1t. 1t is cheat twenty
years old, and o cheat SO often repeated, that
child now should not be cheated by it. Flournoy
being Wing, and having been a Wing, with the
old Wing principles that he ever had, principles
that survive,) there is no reason why every Wing
in Virginia should not vote for him. We hope to
see them all do II upon reflection; and if they do
he will be Governor by great majority, for the
old Wing vote only can defeat him.

The AMERICAN PARTY.--There is one great truth
to be spoken and impressed upon old Wings and
Democrats. The new organization must be built
upon the rock of -Americanisna, and not upon the
sands Of shifting Democracy and Whiggry. If
Wings wish to use the American movement for
temporary purpose, and cast off their allegiance
when it has served their turn, they will evince 1t
by keeping up their old party organization to fall
back upon. We distrust therefore, every man
who calls himself Wing or Democrat. We have
the same instructive dislike to it. as we have to the
formation of Irish or German associations among
us, they show a leaning and attachment to old
prejudices, which must be thoroughly eradicated
before they can become Americans. Upon the
same general principle that we advocate the repeal
OF the naturalization laws, we demand the exfinc.
ton ofthe Wing and Democratic party so far as
the American organization can effect it.

dear sir, very faithfully yours,
GEO. w. p. GUSTS.
The Tent of Washington.
There were two tents, or rather marques, at
tached to the baggage Of the Commander-in-C Chief
during the revolutionary war
The larger, that can dine about forty persons
formed the banqueting hall for the grand banquet
given by Washington to the officers Of the three
armies Immediately after the surrender of York
town, when the victor made the feast, and the
vanquished were his guests.
The smaller or sleeping tent has history of
touching and peculiar interest attached to it, as
related by Colonel John Nicholas, of Virginia, an
officer of the life guard. He said, although the
headquarters were generally in house, yet we
always pitched the smaller tent in the yard, or
Immediately adjacent to the quarters, and to this
tent the chief in the constant habit of retiring
to write his dispatches. His orders to the officer
of the guard were Let me not be disturbed !;
whom have completed my dispatches ! will come
out myself Let the expresses be mounted and In
waiting. Often would a courier arrive, " bloody
with squirting" and shouting dispatches from Gen.
to the Commander-in- Chief. Often the
travelsoiled courier would have time to breathe
little after desperate ride, till, parting the door
folds Of the tent, would appear the man of mighty
labors, the dispatches ready sealed in his hand.
From within those venerable canvass walls ema-
mated the momentous dispatches that guided the
destinics Of country in the most awful periods
of the struggle for independence.
The tents were originally made in Philadelphia
In August l775, under the direction of Captain
Moulder, Of the revolution. They were first pitched
on the heights Of Cambridge, in ITS, and are now
preserved in the portmanteaus in which they were
carried during the whole of the war Of independ-
ence. $500
We laarp that n 10 the Intention of Mr. C,,st;,
to bequeath these venerable relics Of the revolution
and Of Washington to the American army, to be
preserved among the military archives of the ma
ton at the seat of government; till which time
they will be preserved where they have been for
half century, at Arlington House.

NeWspaper Change.

Mr.. James Dumars, the former editor
of the Transcript, and associate editor
of the Chronicle d Transcript, has pur-
chased the Youngstown True american.
As editor of the Transc, ipt he was de-
servedly popular. In the mechanical
execution of his paper, he has had no
su perior, in this vicinity. We do not
doubt but hat in his hands, the True
american will prove an instructor and
welcome visitor at the fresides of Maho-
ming county. He has been with us, in
this Office, since it came in our pos
session, and we part with him now witt
regret. We heartily wish him success,
politically and financially.
Mr.. Elliott, who r%etirPs, will, we under-
stand, seek other and better employment
than editing a country paper. Success
to him also.

The Public Grounds.


In an article in gu last paper, we x.
pressed an opinion that the town of War
rem had no right to lease the ground
along the bank Of the river. We have
no idea that such a thing is intended, but
the idea was suggested by the Democrat
Hence our comments. For that express
sion of opinion we have been called to
account, by several individuals. We
will now give a reason for the faith that
is in us.
In the first place neither the town, the
county, or the public have any deed OF
the premises at all, or any other title
than that of possession, except during the
pleasure of the donor.
There is no deed upon the record of
Trumbull County.
In the field notes Of a survey accom-
pany ing a map of the original Town Plo'
of Warren, as surveyed by Caleb Palm
or. in December, 1901, and recorded in
Book A. after describing the boundaries
Of the Town Plot, he says: u of
which is given for public uses, the fol
lowing described square viz Beginning
on the east bank of the Mahoning River
eighteen rods S. Q degrees 95 E. from
the North line of the Town Plot above
described, thence North, Sc degrees 35
East, to four rods East from the South
East corner of Lot No. A, thence S 8
degrees 25 East, Sc rods, thence Sonih
S. Sc degrees 35 West, to the Mahoning
River, thence up the River the several
courses thereof, to the first Bound, and
the five following described Streets"
Then follows a description of the
streets.
At The close of the description of Land.
is the following.
"I, EPHRAIM Quincy, Proprietor Of the
Land above described having examined
the above and foregoing and do approve
of the same and allow it to be recorded.
EPHRAIM QUINBY.
Warren, February, LIST. 1909.
There is no seal attached to the instru.
ment, ihele is the name of no witness,
nor is it a conveyance of land at all. 1t
is simply a map, with the accompanying
field notes. The different streets are in
cluded in the same category, SET apart
for public uses. The land on the bank
of the river can no more be used for any
other than public purposes, than can the
streets in the town, or any public road in
the county.
To use the language of THOMAS D.
WEBB, Esq, (than whom no man in
Trumbull County, is better authority up
on land titles;) "the public grounds no
more belong 10 the town of Warren, than
did the kingdoms of this world, to The
devil. when he showed them to our Sa.
viour from the top of a high mountain"

Terrible Famine in Cape De Verde Is
lands
New YoRK. Dec. /.

NEW 1ORk, Dec. j.
Advices from St. Vincent, Cape De
Verde, Oct. 81, that a terrible
famine is prevalent at The Cape De Yer
de Islands, the crops having failed, and
nearly all the cattle dying of starvation.
The United States Consul has made an
appeal, through Commodore Crabbe, to
the people of this country for assistance
at the Island of San Atonia.
Three thousand people are living ou
the stalk of the banana and carcasses of
animals that have died of starvation.
The United States flag ship James
town, Com. Crabbe commanding, was at
st. Vincent port, Grenada, on the 29th
of October, and sailed on the 18th of
November, for Porto Parya on the coast
of Africa southwark. She will be down
the coast 5 or 6 months.
The Dale, Lieutenant commanding
Walbeck, was at St. Vincent port, Gre
NADIA, and sailed Oct. 31st, to Join the
Commodore at Porto Prays, and thence
to the United States. All well OH both
ships.
The master and crew of the brig Kal.
afat, of Bath. are on board the Dale, for
passage 10 the United States, the Kala-
fat having been sunk in the English
Channel by a collision, said 10 have
been from Curdif for Pensacola. The
master and crew of the Kalafat are all
saved and well.
