Mn. STANTON DECLINES PLAYiSG WITH
MogpHr. London illustrated News,
received per steamer America, contains a
letter from Mr.. Stanton, addressed TO Mr..
Morphy, declining to engage in chess con-
test with the latter. The reason assigned
by Mr.. Stanton Tor this course is, that he
could not think Of entering upon long and
arduous contest without ample opportunity
for the recovery OF his whole strength in
play, or without being able to make such ar
rangcments as would prevent the sacrifice Of
his professional engagements. The expert.
ence Of some weeks. however, during which
he has labored increasingly to the serious in.
jury Of his health, shows that II is impossible
for him TO gain time for practice, while the
interests Of OF bis publishers are too serious
and important for him TO break his engage.
ments with them in order to play at chess.
Mr.. Stanton remarks "A match al chess
or cricket may be good thing in its way,
but none but q mailman would for either
forfeit his engagements and imperil his
professional reputation. Under these cir
cumstances, / waited the termination Of
your late struggle to explain that, fettered
as am at this moment, it is impossible for
me to undertake any enterprise which would
have the effect Of withdrawing me from
duties | am pledged to fulfill"

A suit was brought in Michigan, BY Day, a
negro. against Owen, the owner Of steam
boat. for refusing to carry him as cabin
passenger on his boat from Detroit to Toe-
do. The defendant did not deny the refusal.
but justified it on the ground that by the
regulation and established course of business
Of said boat. eolored persons were not re-
ceivcd as cabin passengers, and were not al
lowed TO use the cabin as such passengers.
The said regulation was averred to be rea-
sonable."
To this the plaintiff dcmurred, holding
that such regulation could be no defence
The Circuit Court overruled the demurrer,
and writ OF error took the case to the
Supreme Court. and the Supreme Court
unanimously sustained the decision Of the
Circuit Court, overriding the demurrer
Both courts said the facts stated in the no
tice were good ard sufficient defence TO
the plaintiffs action. The Judgment below
(which was against Days right to be carried
IN toe cabin must be affirmed with costs.
This decision IA TO the social status OF the
free negro in the free States is made hy a

The prophet Andrew, surnamed Jackson Davis,
declares in brilliant and encouraging way that
"man's future is glowing with beautiful rad
"ance." Ho also "feels impressed to remark /"
upon the same mystic page "that mythology and
superstition are fast decsying." Another
prophet, Charles Edward, surnamed Lester OBJ
serves that the whole world is going behind the
"bsrricades" Whereupon third seer, one Weisse
declares that Charles Edwards remarks are
redolent" To be sure he adds" with strong
common sense" which is felcitous and timely
qualification This is the first assertion which we
have seen that common sense is either fetid or
fragrant An aged mackerel may have Andrews
beautiful radiance" but it does not have the
redolence" Of Weisse-at least, We hope that it
smelled pleasantly, and of other great men who
smelled otherwise Alexander the Great was de-
clared by his admirers to be walking nosegay
and to exude the essence of thousand flowers;
while the eminent Mr. Thomas Paine was remark
able for making all who came within nose shot of
him either wish themselves noseess, OF congrat,.
late themselves that they we're already. But We
have never before heard Of "redolent remark, "
and it strengthens our opinion that Charles the
Remarker, to whose miraculous powers We alluded
the other day, is little the strongest man in the
Democratic party. We understand now what he
means when he says, the struggles is in our midst
We have now no doubt oft. We understand now
why he ventures with caution within the vesti-
bue." and it is caution which We cannot sutfi-
GENTLY commend and encourage. Whatever he
may have 10 say he will do well to say upon the

Among the numerous attempts to put stop by
legislation to the miserable practice of dueling
the most efficient has proved 70 be the disqualified
ton of persons concerned in duel to hold any
State Office. The Attorney General Of Mississippi
who seems almost as smart at evading the evident
object and defeating the intentions of the Legis-
nture, IS some Of our New-York Judges, has
given an opinion, however, that clause Of this
sort in the anti-dueng law Of that State can only
operate against those who have been tried and
convicted under the statute. OF course, as there
is seldom trial, and never conviction the clause
is thus reduced to q mere krutum fimsn-powder
without any ball. In the particular case Ia which
this opinion was given, the temptation was, TO be
sure, rather strong to get rid Of the bona Sde oper
alton of the law. The point was brought before the
Court in the shape of motion made 70 arrest a
judgment, on the ground that the Judge who pro-
nounced il had been engaged in duel, and was
therefore Illegally on the bench. There is way,
however efiectualy to avoid any injury to the
public from the enforcement Of this provision, or
any escape from it BY this piece Of legal subslety
The statutes Of some of the States requre-snd
this seems the true method--that the appointee to
any Office, before entering upon il, shall take an
oath that he has never been concerned, either as
principal or second, in any duel, thus exposing
himself 10 prosecution for perjury if he swears
falsely-s conviction Of which in case Of Judge
would furnish good ground for removal without in-
validating his preyious acts.
