who employed as book-k keeper in the store of
Buckley & Co., MOI Colege-pace, and who board
ed at No. 2l Amity-place was found dead yesterday
morning in his bed. From the circumstances, it is
believed that his death the result of violence.
On Tuesday evening he went to Wallack's Theatre
with FRIEND but left before the performances were
concluded, promising to return and meet his COM
papion in the saloon underneath the theatre after
the theatre had closed. He failed to keep his ap-
pointment; but where he went after leaving the
theatre is not known. A little after midnight he
made his appearance at his boarding house. Both
eyes were blackened, his face was covered with
| lacerated wounds and bruises, and he bore other
external indications of having been assaulted. lie

any account of himself, and went Immediately to
bed. Yesterday morning he did not appear at
breakfast, and on going to his room ne was lound

veaed fracture of the skull, about two inches in
length, between the frontal and parietal bones and
cOngested blood upon the brain. An inquest was

IT DON'T WORK WELL.

! Read the following extract from the N. Y
Times, and say whether it be not plain, com
mon sense view of the matter.
"If the South be not impervious to the dictates
Of common sense and common prudence, it will
take some means or other after its fashion-wheth
er by committees of tho citizens or commercial
conventions, it matters MOTTO prevent slave
holders coming North after fugitive slaves and
creating such rumpus is now ngitating Phil.
adelphia apropos DARRELL 1t would be hard to
conceive Of a worse mode either of protecting
their ri ghts or their property" than these at.
tempts to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law. Wheth
that law be constitutional or unconstitutional,
moral or immoral, does no! affect the question.
The object for which it was passed is of surely
more Importance TO the South than the law itself
They want above all things to secure themselves
against loss by the escape Of their negroes and as
long as this can be attained, we presume few of
the planters care q straw whether the law is ever
enforced or not. Now, every time slave catch.
er comes North and sezes fugitive slave under
the act, he inensifes the Anti Slavery feeling OF
everybody near the scene of the capture-he makes
converts by the hundreds to the ranks of the Alb.
olitionists,an works thousands up to the determ.
ination that no such thing shall ever occur again
in their neighborhood. Moreover, the uproar to
which the affair gives rise is heard far and wide
through the Slave States, and furnishes the strong
est sort of incentive for flight to any negro who
has either the desire or the ability to run away
from his master. Nothing can encourage an in
tending fugitive more than the knowledge that
sympathy and succor await him at the end Of his
journey; and in no way can this knowledge be
conveyed to him SO surely as by the riot, tumult
and fierce debates which occur in all the Free
States whenever attempt is made to capture q
runaway, so that every slave re caught and re'
conveyed into captivity not only renders the law
more difficult Of execution ia the future, but it,
creasos the temptation of other slaves to bolt.

ACQUIlTAL OF TIE ECHO PRISONERS

The Echo prisoners on trial at Charleston have
produced as witnesses ON the trial. Captain MaiTat,
who commanded the Dolphin at the time of the
capture, Lieut. Carpenter, and the surgeon and
coxswain of the phin. A model of the Echo,
showing her complete outfit as SLAYER, was also
produced and exhibited to the Jury. The owner
ship of the Echo was shown to be in Townshend,
the captain, who Yves also proved to be native Of
Providence, Rhode Island, where he had married
This fact of citizenship was proved by witness
who had visited him while in Jail at Boston Cor the
purpose of identifying him. Captain Maffat testi'
fed that he kept Townshend on board the Dol yhin
because his intelligence and reckless air had led
him TO fear that he mi ht prove troublesome if left
on board the Echo. The slaves he said were sent
to Charleston, because he knew there were several
places there where they could be comfortably lOdg'
ed and especially account of the facility os tee
graphic communication thence to Washington. On
chart found on board, was traced continuous
line, showing the vessels course from the coast
of Africa to the punt of her capture. lIenery,
one of the prisoners, told Lieutenan. Carpenter
that they were forty -four days out, and that he
uau maui t1ShaiS ior idhuiHP the ncStoeo On tHe
afternoon ofthe capture lie claimed one of them
his own property.
No testimony was offered on behalf of the pris'
oners, who were defended by four lawyers, and
whom the telegraph represents as having been
acquitted by the Jury. They were indicted, we
suppose. under thefourth and fitch sections of the
act of 1920, which provides that any person being
of the ships company Of fany vessel owned wholly
or in part by any citizen of the United States who
shall receive on any foreign shore any negro or
mulatto, not held to service by the laws of either
of the States Territories of the United States,

slave, or who shall forcbly confne or detain, or
aid and assist in eonfnipg or OBTAINING, any such
negro on board such vessel, shall be deemed a
pirate, and suffer death. -.-... ... ......
We are notyet informed of the grounds on
which the defenseswas placed, whether the coun-
sci confined themselves merely 20 denying that
sufficient case had been made out against the pris
ouers, or whether they were allowed to argue to
the Jury that the law on which the indictment
was founded was uneonstitutonal.--NeW York

the empanneling of Jury in Langston's case,
says:-
But the hero of the occasion was the immacu,
late Ben Browneli, who having been for some time
visible in the Clerks desk was finally summoned
to fill the place of challenged juror. He enter
ed the seats with firm tread like unto that with
which a long cared quadruped approximates TO a
peck measure Of cereal food. liz was first asked if
be had any conscientious scruples, to which hc
replied in firm voice that he troubled with
nary a scrnpe. Tho prosecution being satisfied
Mr.. Backus to2k him in hand and blandly asked
him if he had formed any opinion to the guilt
of the defendant. lie replied that he should doom
it his duty to jud &c according to the evidence.
Mr.. Backus-that is not my question. Have
you formed any opinion as to the defendant's
guilt ?"
Il have no means of knowing, as yet"
"Mr. Brownel want a categorical answer
Have you, or have you not formed an opinion ?"
IL want to say that have the same impression
as to his guilt that should have of any man who
had been indicted l should naturally conclude
that he was guilty"
"Well--yes."
"Now sir have you formed and expressed an
opinion as to the guilt of the defendant Bushnell
in the other case?"
"Not that | am aware Of"
'Dii you not say that that verdict was right and
they all ought to be convicted ?"
"Let me say"
Stop. want direct answer did you or did
you not? ?"
Il did"
"Now haze you not been helping to fill this
Ijury?" t.....
"Why--how do you mean ?"
"lIave you not been there in the Clerks desk
behind the Marshall, pointing out to him who
would be good men to sit on the jury ?"
"N-o,- -that's-absurd."
Every true, bu. have you not done it {"
"I-hav'nt- done-any- more than to answer
questions" .... ..
"Did you help him by answering questions?
II suppose he knew men enough"
"Give me direct,answer,l Mr.. Brownell, Did
you hep him by answering questions ?"
Il did," -s
"Now sir, did you tell him who to summon :"
"Why you see"

II thought SO. Now did you not tell him to put
on some of those men because they were good
Democrats ?" "A

him, for he twisted like school boy at his first
