for two days last week, the jury returned u
verdict for the defendant for - 3OS. a mo-
ton was made by the plaintiff, for a new tr'a'.
Judge Lsavitt charged the jury in this
case, that a writ Of repevin could not issue
from the Federal cOur's against goods legal
" in the possession Of an officer # the State
courts, and that the court which first obtain
e1 jurisdiction Of the property held it. Con.
,equen,ly. if the jury should tind that the
goods replevicd were properly in the hands
of the sheriff, yerdic: must be entered for
the defendant, as that fact would prove bar
to the present action. In accordance with
these instructions, the jury gave verdict for
the sheriff.

ventipn."
Why do we attach 80 little significance to
the opinions of the Mon,gOm cry Convention!
For the simple and sufficient reason that 1t
was composed Of meu who did not represent
the popular sentiment of the South. We are
not begging the question. We do not deny
that the Convention reflected the tceiIng OF
the ) nth, because it, action was not 10 ac-
cGrdance with our own estimate OF the puos
lie spirit. We maintain that its utterances
should cot be taken for the voice Of the peo-
pie, because IT. memters. hoSever respecta-
bic u individuals, were not the sort oil per
sous 20 represent the sentiment OF the masses.
1t is question il one titteth prOportlIn OF
the delegates were from the country. 1t Is q
question if one half were appointed by any
res ponsibIe authority. They were mainly
from the cities and villages, and instead OF
being selected with reference to their views
on the particular subjects asIrated IN the
Convention, were Appointed from caprice or
regard to the chances Oi attendance. lhe
great body Of the people never meVed in the
matter Tue planter and the merchant want
ed leisure for holiday excursion IN busy
season. The successful lawyer could not qult
MS court during term. Inc Montgomery
Convention was not constitute ell Ui these class
es 10 the community. The restless poiltl-
elan, the briehesS barrister, the doctor WITH
out patients, editors in quest OF subscribers,
and individuals astrlde Of hobbies, these
were the sort Of persons whO directed the de-
alterations OF the recent Southern CONNER
cial Convention" We do MT mean to Is.
more the presence of many gentlemen of solid
., ,,,I Of sb.F al Ia
we intend any disparagement even OF those
who are designated in our classltcation.--
We only wish 10 be understood a. affirming
tnat the majority OF delegates in tie Con
ventiOn at Montgomery, were not the sort ol
men whom the people OF the South would
have selected to determine the policy Of re-
viving the slave trade, or 10 pronounce upon
the expedieucy If an Immediate dissolution
OF the Union. Will anybody venture TO deny
the statement? Does Gybody claim that the
Convention at Montgomery was fair and
/ faithful exponent Of the political opinion ot
the S utlern State? Then, why adduce it,
authority to prove that the people of the
South repudiate the bill for the admission VI
Kansas?
By the very principle of its organization,
the Montgomery Convention was an IncOm-
petent representative OF Southern sentiment.
1t was composed of men with partial and ex-
IRENE opinions. TIE drift IF its dehOera-
ton was directed by toregOne conclusion.
It's action WAS not affected by the irtiuencc
OF the great body Of quiet and conservative
citizens, and the result of its demonstrations
be;rays the narrow bias Of a clique rather
than an intelligent regard FIR the interests
OF the whole community -Rich. Sguth.

1T is done mainly by the lovers and sweet,
hearts OF the servant girls who are employed

of the dwellings to make the acquaintance Of
some one whom they do not know. A these

then, after learning all we want 20 know,
rob the house; this is the cause Of our success.
