Iou,svrr1r ON Law AND EVIDENCE.

Some niggers committed murder, and
were confined in prison at Louisville.
There is no reasonable doubt but that they
perpetrated the crime with which they
were charged But there was no evi-
dence against them EXCEPT nigro evidence.
The people of that State, like the people
of this State, had disquali6eda black man
from being a competent witness. So,
thoughassry body believed the negro evil
dence, there was no legal evidence against
the murderers, and the Court acquitted
them, as in duty bound, and the law pro-
tected them This was unjust.-They
had committed daring and infam Gus
crime, and they should have been punish
ed, as we'll as if they had been white men,
and there were white evidence against
them. But the people there made the law
excluding black evidence they are salts
fed with it, and wouldn't repeal it.even
now; and they are the last people who
could complain Of its operation. And its
operation was to shield these vile and
wicked criminals. Let the operation Of
ie law be its own comments surely
is the best that could be presented.
But the people ofLoaisyille would not
such villains go. They could not feel
= 70 let murderers be turned loose
among them. And besides, the horrible
crime they had committed naturally
awoke feeling of vengeance against them.
So they outraged the law, overpowered
the jailers, took the culprits into their own
hands and hung them. Louisville is one
of the cities in that quarter of the country
that has been very solicitous about hav-
ing "the law sustained" has expressed
a very sacred regard for :. the majesty of
the law" has told people how they must
conquer their prejudices," no matter
how obnoxious the law was, and sustain
the law because IL acas the law. And prac-
teal regard which they bear to law
which outrages justice. Let then take
their preaching to themselves, and cease
to censure others. And let all men be
once more reminded that on law is certain
Of respect and obedience which is not
founded upon justice, impartial and exact,
which looks for its support to the innate
sense ofright which pervades the bosoms
of men.

/, the undersigne having been under the treat
ment Of Dr. L. j. Czapkay, although unsolicited,
feel called upon to give publicity to the efficacy of
his treatment, hoping that by so doing may be
instrumental in preventing others from the fearful
suffering and misery which experienced, aud
which often result from the pernicious practice
of pretenders My disease has been that of physi-
cal and mental debility, which follows in conse-
quence of the indiscretion of youth The agonies
which endured are perhaps unnecessary for me
to detail; they are known to those who have expe-
renced them. Suffice ii to say, that having called
the services of DR.. l.. ]. Czapkay in requsiton,
all my expectations which may have formed of
him were more than realized would, therefore,
recommend DR.. Czapkay to all who may find them
selves afflicted with that dreadful malady, my OBJ
ject In so doing being sympathy for suffering hu-
manlty, and heartfelt desire of relieving them.
