SUPREME CouRr DEc1s1oN.-Mar
tan s. Darts vs.. Byowner.-The ac-
ton was ejectment for portion Of a
lot of twelve acres in small mining
town. The plaintiffs claim to have
title to it, by having taken possession
of and inclosing it, it being public
land. The Court say that one cannot.
under the mere pretext of a town lot,
hold large portion Of land for agri-
cultural purposes as against the mi-
ner. All that we deem it necessary
now to hold is that the facts of this
case do not exempt it from the rule in
the case of McClintock vs.. Dryden
Judgment affirmed.-Sac. Union.

that . aoprisbingr town would ever be
built there, capable Of supporting an

blinded us, as it did thousands more,
to the great advantages Of the Sac

We reached the hills. But, with our
mental eyes We gaze upon the same
scene differently now. We see it the
abode ola thrifty and peaceable COM
mnnity Of agricul:uralists, its rich
soil less blooming but not less produc-
tive, and the wild oats giving place
to fields Of golden wheat over which
the brsezes chase one another in rip

the subject of religion. This reminds
one of Whitefeld's week in London, when
he received thousand letters from per-
sons anxious about their souls. A letter
of a recent date says that many OF
the students of Asbury University, at
Greencastle, Ind, have been converted.
Papers by the last California steamer also
speak of the revival influence in Callfor-
MIA and in Oregon. A correspondent
writing from Newport, R. l., states last
sabbath was a day of peculiar interest
there, owing to the baptism, at 9 o'clock
in the morning, by Rev. DIR. jackson, OF
the Central Baptist Church, of fourteen
recent converts, and the baptism at noon.
by Rev. Mr.. Adam of the First Baptist
Church, of sixteen others. The writer
says " it was very pleasant 10 see Mr.
Malcolm returning out of the water with
an older sister as Mr.. Adam entered
with younger sister Of the same family
circle, to receive the same sacred rite
The services were very solemn and i'm,
pressive. Influence and talent, with ma
ture years and youth, are found with
those who are now being gathered into
our churches"

Walton's Speech.

We are indebted to the Hon. E. P.
Walton for copy Of his speech, deliver
ed in the House of Representatives,
March 81, on the bill for the admission
of Kansas into the union. The text for
his remarks was Revolution in the law
of the Land" We have read the great
er part of it. 1t is bundle of facts, and
" facts are stubborn things He puts
the statistics to them without stint, and
reviews the slavery question from the
time of Lord Mansfield of honorable
mention, down to the dictatorship of John
Calhoun, Of Lecompton notoriety. Mr..
Walton is as well posted in all matters
now before the country as any man in
Congress, and on the slavery question he
is "tower of strength" Vermont is
well represented in both Houses OF Con
gress, and she has. reason to be proud Of

the Europeans. The I" Sikhs" appear to
be a distinct race or sect, holding their
several characteristics from age to age as
inyiolably as do the Jews. The g thugs"
are a race or clan of robbers-religious
robbers whose creed compels them to
strangle their victim before they rob
him. The Gentoos" are the original
inhabitants.
Before the occupancy of India by Eu-
ropeans their religious rites were barbar-
Gus in the extreme. " Suttees," that Isl
burning the widow on the funeral pile
with the corpse of her husband, were
very common, and infanticide was prac-
ticed to a great extent-mothers even
giving their infants into the jaws OF
crocodiles and other monsters esteemed
as rods to ward off their malice, or Sc
cure their favor. Altho' possessing con-
siderable literature at an early day they
made no improvements. Being shut out
from all intercourse with Europeans, they
had no benefit of these Announcements,
and their religion, being stationary, and
for the benefit of these priests to keep
the people ignorant, it is probable that
there was less intelligence among them
in 1898, when the Portuguese, having
doubled the cape of Good Hope, first Wis
tied them, than under Kutub. Aswas then
custom the Portuguese colonized, or sub
dued the people before them, and about
the middle of the 18th cen. British pow.
er arose on the ruin of the Portuguese
From that time liberal principles, have
gradually taken the place Of former bar
barism, and despotism. 1t was not how
ever, until within the last 40 years that
the sanguinary worship of idolatry-sut
teeism and infanticide were abolished
and that was done almost wholly at tn,
instance of missionaries. On the who'll
we have reason to hope that British rnl
will triumph over all opposition and 70
the present be perpetuated.

CRITICAL CONDITION OF THE
WHITES IN SAN DoMNGo.-The Wash
ington Star says that dispatches have
been received from our commercial agent
at San Domingo, which give the follow
ing account of the critical condition of
the whites in that island:
The negro leader Baez is shut up in
the walled city of San Domingo, where
he vents his ferocity on the white citi-
zens,whom he retains amid the horrors of
siege, in some sort, as hostages for his
own final escape. Mr.. Elliot, the Amer
can Consul, and his lady, Dona MERGED
de la Roche, (the daughter of one of the
noblest old white families of the island, J
are daily subjected to base and studied
insults. The United States flag has beer
repeatedly dragged through the street:
and trampled upon by negro mobs; the
Consul Kissed at in the streets, and fol
lowed home from church with language
too vile to be repeated; American sea
men and vessels have been illegally sa
crifced; and, in brief, every form o
outrage that negro spite could invent ha
been heaped upon citizens, for the singl,
crime Of being white men and Ameri
cans; and not ship-of-war shows itsel
for their relief"

From Washington.

The correspondent of the New York
Tribune telegrahps on Friday evening:
"The Lecomptonites are thunder
struck by their defeat to-day.-The ad-
ministration was perfectly confident Of
success. Messrs. Cobb, Brown, Thomp-
son and other Cabinet officers were pres
ent on the floor, with the ladies of their
families in the gallery, to witness the ex-
pected triumph. More discounted men
never walked out of the hall of the
House of Representatives than the Lee
compton leaders to-day. Their rage is
turned particularly against Messrs. Quit
man (Iiss.0 Bonham Is. CO. Shorter
and Stallworth (Ala.,) and Hill and
Trippe (Ga.,) who could not be driven
or pressed into sanctioning Mr.. English's
continuance.
Mr.. Stephens, who prides himself up
on his fairness and courtesy, of which he
boosted openly in debate to-day, was so
disturbed by this unexpected defeat Of
Lecompton that, in his vexation, he re-
sorted to flibustering to compel an ad-
journment and gain time to work upon
refractory members so as to reconsider
the vote to postpone.
Tge Republicans, anxious to go on
with the public business, resisted the
motion to adjourn until the day was ex-
hausted.
Mr.. English's bill has been modified
from day to day and from hour to hour
As finally presented, it is very diferen
fl rom hot it wa, two days ago.
Men were got TO promise to support i
by being shown version that would
suit their views. Some who agreed II
90 for it as it was, will probably decline
to vote for it as finally presented
From the Times correspondent
"The vote to-day on English's bill,
find on conversation with both sides, thi
evening, is not regarded as a positiv
: test of its ultimate fate. 1t is believe,
5 that Hill and Trippe, as also one or tw
! anti-Lecompton Democrats, who vote
l for the postponement, will not vote 70
/ the bill on its passage; that not NOR
than two Southern Democrats will con
tinue to stand cut.
t Senator Wilson says the passage {
q the bill is mere question of time, an
v that it is certain to go through. Their
), is rumor that Douglas himself wi
lead off for the bill, but the foundatio
: is simply that he has been urged to d
e it."
