Christmas in Tammany.

1t will be seen from the notice in another col
umn, that the fair ladies of Waynesboro, no less
noted for their beauty and intelligence than their
benevolence and good works, intend to feed the
public generally on Christmas night, upon the
very best the markets can afford, and we pre-
sumo at prices to suit the hard times. We take
it upon ourselves to guarantee first rate enter
tainment, and we are sure the public will not be
slow to assist the ladies in their laudable enter
prise. Waynesboro mustn't think we are out OF
sorts with her because she pitched into us so
geographically short time ago. On the con-
trary we are sincerely disposed to do all we can
for her; "with all her faults we love her still.
In proof of all which we would earnestly advise
those of our own citizens who wish to spend q
Merry Christmas to take the train on the morn
ing of the 25th, and mingle for q day and night
with the "lads and lassies" Of that tme-honored

On Sunday morning last, about o'clock, the
dead body ola white man was found on the
farm of Col. VIM. A. Bell, in this county, where
it had been lying for q week or ten days, appa-

Removal of Secretary Stanton.

Kansas affairs seem to grow more complicated
and embarrassing every day. Since the ADJOURN
e 49, ,-.. O~.e.;t~t;oAAl Con vontion, the
Free State party in the Territory have urged tne
assembling of the Legislature, which is largely
anti-slavery, in order to forestall the action o.
the former body. A mass Convention was neio
At Leayenworth on the 9th of November, and
resolution passed requesting the Terrltor''
al Legislature to meet at Lecompton, on the
Sd of December. The resolution was adopted
under the belief that acting Governor Stanton
would recognize the Legislature so convened
General Lane at the same meeting offered a res
olution. which was unanimously adopted, pedg'
ING the members of the Convention, in case Mr.
Stanton declined to convene the Legislature as
requested, to put the government, as prepared
by the Topeka Convention, in motion, and to
stand or fall by it.
We learn by telegraph, that in pursuance OF
the wishes of the people, Mr.. Stanton had issued
proclamation calling special session of the
Legislature, to be held on the 7th inst. 1ntelli-
2enCe OF TINS iaCI reacieu ""'"'"S'"n va N
9th, and the President forthwith removed MIR.
Stanton, and nominated to the Senate, as his
successor, Gen. Denver, now Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs.
The reason given for this removal, says a
Washington despatch, is that Secretary Stanton
has violated the instructions heretofore given
both to Governor Walker and himself to do no
act which could possibly disturb the peace of the
Territory, but to exert all the means in their
power to preserveit. The sole object and pur-
pose of converting the Legislature, it is consider
ed, can be only to gender strife and embarrass
the people in voting on the slavery question in
the,f form proposed by the Constitutional Con-

Conpressional ChanIain..

1t will be seen by our synopsis of Congression-
al proceedings that the Senate and House of Re-
representatives., instead of electing Chaplans as
heretofore, have invited the clergymen of the
District of Columbia to oficiate alternately. All
persons who respect the sacred Office will be
gratiied at this course. For some years past
the dignity of the ministry has been impaired
by the disrepretable electioneering of certain
preachers for the place of Chaplain, and those
elected have, with few exceptions, been very
moor specimens of the American clergy.

The LEMON SLAVE CAsE.-The general term
of the Supreme Court OF the State OF New York
on Monday rendered decision in the celebrated
Lemon Slave Case IL will I've remembered
that the question involved is the right OF citi.
zen of slave State to hold his slave, as such, in
New York, while ON his way to another slave
State. Judges Mitchell, Clerke, Davies, aud Pea
body agreed in denying this right, while Judge
Roosevelt thought otherwise. The ground upon
which the Court bases its decision is that the
act of 1917, with the additions made to it in 49,
80 and the repeal of 184l, declares that every
slave brought into New York shall be free
"Comity does not require any State to extend
any greater privileges to citizens OF other States
than it grants to its own. The section in rela-
ton to the rendition Of fugitive slaves could not
apply to those voluntarily brought into the State
by their masters. The clause giving power to
Congress to regulate commerce between the sew
eral States conferred no power to declare the
status which person shall sustain while in any
other State of the Union. The Court therefore
uphold the sovereignty Of the State over the
persons of those within its Jurisdiction. Men
