General Cass.

Every week or two, some of the Wash-
ington correspondents, for want of a bet
ter occupation, amusc themselves by kill
ing oil General CAss, when in fact the
sturdy old Roman is in possession Of full
health and yigor. What motive can ex-
ist for the fabrication of these reports we
are at loss to determine. The correspond
ent of the North american puts them to
rest when he says
There is something more than a cul-
pablc disregard of truth, for there is wan
ton cruelty in the fabricated reports which
are Systematically revived at inter walls,
concerning the condition of Gen. Cass'
health. When the ,st rumors were cir
culated, a few days ago, not particle OF
foundation existed, as | discovered upon
inquiry, after returning here from brici
absence. In fact, the very reverse was
true, as happened to be observed by all
who were brought into official or personal
contact with him. Few men of his age arc
in so remarkable preservation, or so able
to undergo the physical and mental labor
which he habitually performs. All lis
faculties are in full play and his State pa
pers show that he has still the elasticity
and force of intellect which distinguished
his earlier years. lie attends the Depart.
ment daily, is regularly at the Cabinet
councils, and takes his share Of all foreign
and domestic policy with much alacrty
and quito as much aoceptability to tn,
public, as any Of his younger colleagues.

Dear Sir: Ny opinion is requested upon
the question whether dealers III mcrchan-
die whose sales are less than one thou

to sell such merchandise
If the question was an open one,

But as | understand the decision of the

proyiso is repealed by the llth section o.
the act of the 22d of April, 1916. UldeI
this decision, venders of merchandise
must take n license whether their sale
amount to one thousand dollars or other

mediatcly after the opening Of Court, at
half past 10 o'clock on Saturday morning
and continued until its adjournment at

to have been extremely eloquent, and the
excitement that had prevailed during the
progress of the trial, become much great

character of the adulterer, and dwell upon
the great provocation under which Mr..
Sickles took the life of Key. There does
not seom to be much indication this far
that Sickles will be convicted of murder,
should the Jury agree. The testimony in

Pennsylvania Abolitionism.

We give elsewhere some remarks from
that PeHtylranian, upon the fugitive slave
excitement in Philadelphia last week
The journal takes a correct and rltional
view of the transaction, to say nothing OF
cIe Importance OF its arguments upon the
question, in commercial point OF view.
The case of Daniel Webster, or Daniel
Dangerfeld, is about this: A widow lady
in Maryland, had slave named Daniel
D,ngerfield, abscond some time in No
vember of 1853. Nothing had since been
heard of him until recently, when it was
ascertained that n negro answering the
description resided in Harrisburg. The
lady who had lost the slave sent her som
in-law as agent, with couple Of witnesses
to arrest and identify the negro. After
some preliminary preparation of papers
at Philadelphia, they came to Harrisburg,
and succeeded in arresting thealleged fugi-
tive, who was known there by the name of
Daniel Webster lie was at once taken
to Philadelphia, to have hearing dcIorc
The L. S. Commissioner. His arrest of
course, produced some excitement, espc-
cially among the coiored population but
no demonstrations towards a rescue were
made at Harrisburg. The excitement pro-
duced by the arrival of the fugitive in
Philadelphia, was much greater, and per.
yaded the white as well as the colored in
habitants. Every effort was made to in.
timidate the officers, and deter them from,
discharging their duty under the laws
and even the counsel for the claimants
Mr.. Brewster, was assailcd with anony
nous letters, designed TO deter him from
engaging in the case. However, after {
patient hearing before the Commissioner
in which, according to his decision, til,
claimants failed to make out a clear case
of identity, Daniel Webster was discharged
Daniel DmgerfeH not having been founC
within his corporosity. This is the cast
as it stands before the public now. Wha
would have been the result if Daniel Dan
gerfield had been identified in the per
son of Daniel Webster, it may be consid
cred difficult to conjecture yet we thinl
from the demonstrations made during tn
investigation, not so very difficult after all
and this, Notwithstanding some of the abe
lition papers of Philadelphia, have beer
endeavoring to palliate the lawless conduc
of the mob which surrounded The U.
Commissioners office, and argue that n
intention of resisting the laws was con

This may be true, but when we reflec
