then reverse the scene. You know it does
not require all the learning which the hu-
man mind is capable of receiving to make
democratic Judge It only requires an
adherence to party rules and smattering
of learning. Judge Ludlow, before whom
the case was tried, in charging the jury,
went back in the history of Pennsylvania
100 years, and brought up old statutes
which were so far behind tho age that no
one in favor of progressive principles would
have thought of. He referred to some of
the laws which were in operation when
slavery'was the bane and the ruin of Penn
sylvania. A little modesty on the part of
this Jefreys on a small scale would GER
tainly rebound to the credit of the Key
stone State and to the Democratic party.
The eternal question has been raised
again. VIM. III. Jeandelle, the driver of
the car on the Coates and Green streets
railway, who was arrested for breach of
the Sunday law ON the 18th of July last,
was before the Court of Quarter Sessions
on Saturday last, and evidence was heard
as to his guilt or innocence. 1t was not
decided, but postponed until Saturday
next.
Hitherto, the rummies of this city have
argued the inconsistency of the temper
ence men for closingup the drinking saloons
on Sundays and not adopting some plan
whereby pedestrians could get an occasional
drink. These disabilities are now removed,
for we are having public drinking hydrants
placed along the frequented streets, or rath-
er those most extensively travelled.
l feel that am encroaching on your val
liable space, and I will close my letter.
The number of deaths reported to the
Board of Health last week was 159, 9 of
whom were colored.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 10, 1853

PATERSON, n j., Sept. 10, 1859.
Mr.. EDIroR:--W Were l to begin this let
ter with giving my opinion Of your paper,
you might perhaps be inclined to regard
me as hatterer. am glad to see that
while the benifcent reforms of the day
find an able advocate in the " Anglo-Afri.
cam you are not Indifferent to what trans.
pires among us in the various localities.
By giving the news of these places, it is
reasonable to suppose your paper will &C.
quire local Importance in the towns and
villages where our people reside
Without further preface, then, l proceed
to give your readers few items of Pater
son news. A festival was held in the A.
M. E. Zion Church on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings last, Sept. 7th and 9Th.
GIN Thursday evening, your correspondent,
like the Duke in Measure for Measure"
was ",looker-on in Venice" A row of
tables was placed on each side of the room,
and instead of grooming, according to time
honored custom, actually smiled with
most bountiful supply Of the good thinga
of the season, which were partaken Of by
the large number present Among these
was considerable sprinkling of white per-
sons, the most respectable in town, who
gracefully accommodated themselves to the
time and place without any reserve or af-
fectation, and were highly delighted with
the entertainment After tea, some hymns
were sung by the company assembled.
Next, A. P. Smith, of Bergen county, be-
ing called upon, came forward and deliver
ed short address, which was listened to
with marked attention. More eating, sing
ing, and enjoyment generally followed the
address, and continued till the small hours
of the morning, when the company seps-
rated, resolved to meet some other day"
The church is frame building in Goodwin
street, and at the present time the congre-
gregation is under the pastoral care of the
Rev. Moses Manly, who has resided in Pa
terson about three months.
Several years ago, l am told, an effort
was made by colored man named Miller
to establish a newspaper in Paterson. Like
many enterprises of similar character,
it failed from the lack of adequate sup
port, only three numbers being issued. The
name of the paper was "The New jersey
Pioneer" A. P.S

A CRY FOR THE NEEDY.
APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81, 1859.
We are here in Jail on charge of abdueting a
slave, the property of the Rev Michael Robbins,
who was found secreted on board the schooner
George Harris, while on passage to your city
from this port, which caused us to be brought
back, when an investigation was had, and we were
committed to jail, and are to be tried for lives
in October The penalty for the same, by the
laws of this State, is DEArH.n
The vessel is owned here, and the loss to her
owners being great, we cannot expect help or ev-
en- sympathy from them, nor can we obtain law
yer without means, and can only appeal to North
ern friends for help in our " time Of need" Pub
lie sentiment is against u.s. We are all colored
men The excitement is great, and if funds can
be raised to employ lawyer, and we succeed in
having our trial removed to an adjoining county,
with the meagre testimony bearing on the case, we
viii be acquitted If without counsel, and our
case is tried here with popular feeling against u.s.
we fear the result. The only witness is the slave
himself, whose evidence is admissible against his
own color, but not against a white. The other
witnesses are gentlemen who found the slave on
board but are not aware how he came there.
We shipped on board the George Harris, in
Boston, as seamen, early in this month, We have
written friends for help, and appeal to you for
assis ance, and all who feel for suffering humanity,
for aid. s.... sl-! SRA, s- -

OUR NEWARK LETTER.
NEWARK, N. J., Sept. Is, 1869.

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. Is, 1869.
The camp-meeting of the z. NJ. Z.
Church, which commenced on the first and
was the great attraction, the all-absorbing
topic for the past week, was rather abrupt
ly brought to a close on the 9th inst AL
though it was stated in the circular that it
was to continue only from the first until
the eighth of the month, yet from the con-
tinued success of the ingathering of dol
lars, they had agreed to hold it over Sun
day, the eleventh, provided a certain
amount of money could be raised. (The
object of the meeting was to raise money
to assist in Hquidating the debt on the
church As it was continued one day
over the appointed time for closing, sup
pose that the amount was either raised or
promised. wv"
But as we are all born to be disappoint-
ed, so were the lager beer, and fruit, and
melon vendors, on this occasion The
owner, or proprietor of the grounds, beng
dissatisfied with the outside proceedings,
ordered them to pull up stakes, and would
not consent to their holding meetings any
longer on any conditions, on account of
the annoyance to the neighbors and farm
ers in the vicinity, who were overrun by
Ioafers, rowdies, and town girls. On Sun
day, 5th, there were supposed to be on and
about the grounds, upwards Of five thou
sand persons, three-ffths Of these were
whites, part of whom were rather trou0-
lesome from the effects of the lager beer
they had drank, while others had imbloeo
too freely of something stronger that was
handed about in private bottles.
Upon the whole, it is well that the meet.

A FACT AND ITS LEssoN.-On Thursday
evening last, two festivals were given in
Brooklyn, one about four miles, and the
other about three quarters of mile from
Fulton Ferry. While the former, festi-
val given by the ladies of Weeksville and
Carsville, was a complete success, (the
large hall being crowded in every part
there was scarcely enough people at the
latter to keep one-another in countenance.
The great difference of attendance at these
two gatherings is accounted for from the
fact that the former advertised in the AN
glo-African," while the latter was too "pen-
ny wise and pound foolish" to do SO.
Business people will take due notice and
govern themselvs accordingly"

Rev. Geo. A. Caldwell, Rev. Mr.. Bradshaw
Of Chattanooga, and Rev. Joseph II. Mar.
tin Of Knoxville, has been going on at
the Presbyterian Church in this p,nce
the present week and portion of the last

on the subject of religion.-A fact we are
happy to record, for while the people of
Athens generally possess as high moral
tone, and are as free, Gf not freer,) from the
prominent vices of the day us any other com.

place that more needs n thorough brushing
up and deeper cultivation of some of the
Christian virtues, both among outsiders
and those who profess to walk daily in the
fear and admontion of the Lord; and with
out which, creeds, forms, ceremonies, doc
trines, dogmas, and professions are but as
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. We
hope the meeting now in progress at Mars

community shall be brought to lively reali-
cation Of its happy influence, and that its
fruits may endure, growing and expanding,

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.-The House of
Representatives have passed bill making
free gift of l60 acres of the public lands to
every actual citizen or half-citzen settler,
the head of a family, who may settle on the
same and cultivate farm. Now, as between
the railrond and old soldier bounty land job
bers of the Congressional lobby, this bill
may DO great reform; but in reference to
the treasury it simply contempates the
withdrawal Of three or four millions year
from its cash resources, and the reduction of
the Pacific railroad project to hard cash
operation. Bat the next Presidency must
be attended to, and this free farm bill, rs ono
Of the most popular measures for Buncombe,
will be very apt to try the nerves of the
Senate. The only impeachment in the way
is mn empty TREASURY, and tho shadow on the
wall of the federal taxgatherer, levying his
direct taxes for the support of the general
government. "rhe world does move" as
Massa Greeley declares, and with such head
long speed that neither rickeiy bridges nor
open causeways can arrest the momentum of
the locomotive. After the passage of this
free farm bill, we should not be surprised at
th~ INTRODUCTION or another bill to provide
the settler with a horse and COW. And why

MURDER AND ROBBERY.


The Nashville Union and American, Of
Saturday las. brought the following under
itS telegraphic head
We nre indebted to 10 Fisher, OF the tele-
grnph office here for the following dispatch,
which he received last evening from the OPP
orator ut Jackson:
Jackson, Tenn, Feb. 4.--Our town wns
the scene OF considerable excitement 10 day
upon The discovery Of the murdered body Of
Mr.. George Miller, clerk in the Union Bank,
who was murdered last night about 9 or
10 o'clock, aud the Bank robbed Of large
amount Of specie ane paper. The hear.less
william who pcrpetrated the deed is at large,
and no clue to the murderer can be had
From the position IN which he was found,
IL Is supposed no was making out a check
for the murderer, when he was struck two
blows upon the head with the check hammer
belonging to the Bank, weighing five or six
pounds, which scattered his brains in every
direction, killing him instantly. He then
tore the lpnf from the check book and
burned II, after which he took what specie
and paper he could carry, and made good
his escape.
No person in particular is suspected, but
from the character Of the deceased IL ia
thought II must be some one in high standing,
and in whom he placed implicit confidence,
as he has refused TO do business for some OF
the most influential citizens after banking
hours. The extent Of the robbery is no,
known. Mr.. Mcknight, the Cashier, return
ed from Memphis this eveing and will ascsr-
tain tomorrow how much has been stolen.
