DISABILITIES OF Africnn Blood

Strange, is it not that the life-blood of the
human race should be accounted better in the
veins under white skin than black, provided
always the colored person is ofAfrican descent.
So it is held by American law makers and Amer
ican law expOunders, and notable case has re-
Gently been decided in Alabama, going so far as
to declare that deed from father to a son Is
void if the child has any African blood
A gentleman who had resided long time IN
Mobile, in Alabama, and owned large estates
there, afterwards moved to New Orleans, and
finally went to France with his family and there
died Before his death he conveyed to his chil-
dren his property in Alabama by deed. He did
this to avoid any of the difficulties that some
times attend wills, and supposed he had secured
his property to his children beyond preadven-
ture, but the Courts at Mobile have decided that
the deeds are void because the children are
within three degrees of African descent and
because they were not born in Alabama, but in
New Orleans, while the father was residing
there.

A,Iantic Cabe Matters.

Mr.. Whitehouse writes to the directors Of the
Company that he believes the cable to be readi-
" recoverable A few days testing, guided by
the experience gained during the manufacture
and subsequent use of the cable, will. in all
probability, enable him to ascertain this beyond
doubt Mr. Whitehouse then SAYS:
Ifthe result of this examination be such as to
satisfy my judgment, 1 shall then be prepared to
make to the Company the following offer. 1 will
undertake, at my own cost and at my own risk,
to reopen communication with Newfoundland;
and, further, to maintain it for given number
of years at moderate per centage upon the
gross receipts of the Company, this being paya-
Die so long only as the line shall be kept By me
in good working order. 1, therefore, request the
Directors permission for such examination of
the cable as shall be necessary to enable me to
make an offer in the terms above stated.
Another way of uniting England and Aneri-
ca by the electric telegraph, says the London
Chronicle, is now being organized. 1t is by an
overland telegraph line passing across the CONT
nent of Europe to Behring's Straits, with re-
peating stations at different distances. The
entire length will be 5000 miles, of which q
600 will be submerged, divided into lengths or
stations not exceeding 500 miles.

Gen. Burns snubbed.

Under the head of Harmony" the Ohio
Statesman boldly tweaks the nose of the great
Coshocton rejected thus:
We don't think that there will be harmony in
the Democratic party Of Ohio long, if papers
like the Coshocton Democrat continue to harp
upon the wisdom of the Lecompton Constitu-
ton and to abuse Judge Douglas. Mr.. Burns,
five are rightly informed, was one of the most
enthusiastic men in backing Douglas that was
to be found in Washington for little while
Then came change, because, as he said
himself, he couldn't get any offices for his
friends ifhe stuck by his principles. Therefore
he deserted his principles to oblige his friends
and to get them offices. Which office is Mr..
Dimmock going to serve and save the country

RAILROAD AocIDENT-This morning, col
Gsion occurred on the Little Miami Railroad,
near London, between an extra freight train
from this city and wood train laying over al
that point Mr.. Robert Neil, Jr., of this city,
acting as conductor on the freight train, had
an arm broken, and John Gilroy, an engineer,
was seriously injured. About twenty men, ly-
ing asleep on the wood train, were not injured
but considerable frightened by the collision
The accident it is supposed was OecasiOned by
the negligence of the switch-tender in leaving
the switch open upon which the wood train
was standing-C0 Columbus Fact

Although it is quite too early to seriously
agitate the question of the Republican candida

excellent Chief Magistrate will not consent to

this is we know not.

A LOUISIANA TRAGEDY.-Deeds of violence
and blood have become so frequent in this
country as to be really appalling. AT CaddO,
Louisiana, few days ago, Mr.. W. W. Smith,
well known merchant and respected citizen,
was shot down in the street by desperate
named Eldred Ward. Ward mounted his horse
and started for Texas A reward of $500
was offered for his capture, and at Woodville
he was overtaken at the house of man named
Tatum The moment the officers and posse
entered the room Ward commenced firing his
pistol at the crowd, wounding John F. Walker
in the neck, and killing John Barns by shoot
ing him through the heart Ward continued
firing until all his pistols were discharged,
then drew his bowie knife and rushed to the
door, when he was shot by Mr. Tatum. In the
melee the lights were put out, and when light
was obtained some time after Ward was found
weltering in his own blood, with pistols in
hand, which he had succeeded in re-loading.
On assurance that his wounds would be dressed
if he made no further resistance, he threw his
weapons from him. Ward was found to be se-
verely, but not mortally wounded.

LOVE, CooUETRY AND SUICIDE.-A correspondent
of the Memphis Eagle and Enquirer writing from
Dsncyville, Haywood county, gives the particulars
of most melancholy affair, which transpired at
that place on Sunday the 18th inst, being the res
suit of cOquery the part of young lady of that
neighborhOOd. The Eggls and enquirer says:
1t appears that young lady whose name is not
given1 residing near Dsncyville some three or four
weeks ago, promised her hand in wedlock TO two
young men, one of whom was named John Jones,
and appointed Thursday, the 10th inst, the day
When both were to be made happy. This state of
affairs became known to the two young men, one of
whom Immediately renowned all further pursuit,
and relinuuished his claim to his rival-JOhn Jones
Whether Mr. Jones was aware of this turn Of affairs
our correspondent does not say. However, on Sun
day last, he borrowed pistol, went TO his room,
dressed himself in his wedding suit, and shot him
self tn ough the head The negroes bearing the
report of the pistol, went to his room, and finding
the door locked, raised window, when the unfor
tunate man was discovered lying on the floor cover
ed with blood aud perfectly dead. He was to have
been buried yesterday by the Masonic fraternity Of
whose body he was a member. A letter addressed
to his brother was found in his room, in which he
gave directions for theidisposion of his property.
He requested his brother TO say to the young lady
that he still loved her. and begged her forgiveness,
and hoped that God would also pardon him for the
rash act be was about to commit.
This is truly most melancholy affair, and should
teach lesson to those romantic young girls who are
disposed to trihe with the affections Of their admi
rers We pity the young woman whose friyolity
has been the cause of the self-destrucon of young
man whose greatest crime appears TO be that his sf
fections were unworthily bestowed We certainly
do not envy her feelings and would not counsel 9TH
ers to follow her example,

Wnshington news.

The despatches received ct the Navy Department
from Commodore Mcintosh are quite pointed and
interesting.
II appears that Sir William Gore Ousely attempt
ed to bamboozle the Commodore by promising to
meet him at AspinwslL After waiting a reasonable
time The Commodore, suspecting something wrong
got M steam and ran down to San Juan del Norte
There he found Sir William still board the Yalo-
rous and that the Washington and one Of the river
samcFs had been visited by the British officers, in
violation Of our views on the Right Of Search ques
tioa. The Commodore became qui'e incensed, and
Immediately wrote q note to the English, demand
ing explanations The English replied that they had
a right to sit vessels N port belonging to ma
tion under cir protection, meaning MOsqnitia, and
probably Nicaragua Commodore Mcintosh wrote
another note, stating that he took entirely diff
ferent view Of the case and if the act Of agrees
ion was repeated he should be compeledto resent it
with what force be had under bis command. The
reply TO this note was al immediate visit from seve-
raj Of the chief British officials to the Roanoke, to
verbally explain and arrange the difficulty.
According TO the advices from San Juan, the con-
duct of the British officers shows that what they
have done is in pursuance of instructions from
higher authority, and Sir Gore Ousely is blamed
for the part he has taken in the afair-N. \. Her
ald
