are DESTROYS that such Convention take

the difficult point. Our neighbors of the

is perhaps the most central point and would

they are Of an aggravated character. A

The Poisoned at Wa shington.

There were more sufferers from the
mysterious poisoning at the National Ho
tel in w ashington than is generally sup
posed; and some noted citizens of New
York, were among them. Messrs. Cyrus
w Field, Peter Cooper, Horace II. Day
and Marshall O. Roberts, sickenei from
that cause, and although each is better,
neither has yet entirely recovered
Whether the cause Of the poisoning was
Ia the water--suroharged with arsenic
from the poisoned rats--or was--as some
afirm--from the use of copper kettles for
culinary purposes, is still a query. Some
say it is neither, but that an epidemic
echoleroid," is raging about the Capital.
However this may be, it is a fact that
many Of those who left New York for
Washington about Inauguration time re
turned very sick, and still remain so. We
do not mean to ~insinuate anything, but
perhaps it was not in all cases, owing en-
tirely to the mater, that was poisoned by
rats. Mr.. Field, above mentioned, we see
by the New York Times though still suf.

History of the bred Scott Case.

As Drca Scott seems to have become
quite a distinguished character, and is
likely 10 figure extensively for some time
to come in the political contests of tie
country, we sut5oin the following brieG
history of his case as furnished by the
Washington Union.
Scott instituted a suit in the circuit
court o. Missouri TO obtain a discharge
from sersi,udo for himself and family
On the trial it was proved that he had
been originally II slave in Missouri, that
his master first took him to the military
post at Rock Island, ia Illinois, and su 5se.
~Yuently, to For, Smelling, in Minnesota, at
IA point north Of the Missouri compromise
Inc, and that he and his family subse-
4uently returned With him to Missouri
A. was contended in his behalf that mas
much as his owner had voluntarily taken
linn TO a place whcle slavery did not exist
by law, both he and his family became
free, and remained so after returning to q
~slaveholding State. The circuit court de
cidcd in his favor. On appeal to the Sa-
rreme Court Of tho State that tribunal
held that he and his family, on returning
10 the State, continued slaves. Between
the annunciation Of the opinion Of the
court and the filing Of its mandate in the
circuit court Scott voluntarily dismissed
his suit in the State court, thus evading
the decision against him and thereupon
instituted another in the circuit Court Of
the United States. In this court the
question of Jurisdiction depended upon
bis being a citizen Of Missouri, and the
defendant q citizen of another State
If the court should be of opinion that
he was a citizen, then he claimed that
he WAS free, because his owner had Ia.
ken him 10 Illinois, and also to n part o.
the Louisiana territory north Of the com.
promise line.
The Circuit Court rendered final judg.
ment against him; and thereupon he APP.
pealed to the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States, where the same questions were
raised and twice argued by his counsel
and also determined against him. Til,
cause was last argued by George T Curtis
brother Of Judge Curtis, Sand Montgomer,
Blair, son ofFrancis p Blair, for the plain
tiff, Scott, and by Senator Geyer ant
Revsrdy Johnson fer the defendant. On

involved and the difficulty ofsolving them
On the last argument the court was filled
with intelligent and ANXIOUS listeners
The court took time to deliberate and pre-
pare their opinions. Each judge formed
and expressed his own. The reasons sus
tanning his conclusions are placed upor
record by each, and his countrymeu will
read and reflect, and test them by the
rules Of ccmmon sense and every day rea
son. No judicial tribunal can reasonabl,
object 10 criticism based upon such prin
cipies. Truth will never suffer by being
subjected to the stan lard Of reason anc
