A Free Father Convicted Of Harboring his
Slave Son.

A Washington correspondent of the
New York Euening Post, thus gives the
conclusion of a case, the commencement
of which was described in the New York
Tribune, some weeks ago.
In the Criminal Court, yesterday, a
free colorcd man was tried before n jury
for harboring his own son =. A couple of
months since the offender was brought
before common Justice on the above
charge, and bail Of 81 900 was requir-
ed, aud it was given. The colored man
has a wife, who is a slave, and one by
one his children have been snatched from
him, at the age of ten years, and sold off.
The father keeps a house, to which his
wife comes on Saturday nights, spending
her Sundays At home. Her master has
been very glad make use of tho fathers
affection for his children to get them fed
and housed till they were of suitable
age for selling, but he has always pounc-
ed upon each At = certain age, and sold
them of, without allowing the parent a
dollar for his troable. In the present
case the boy ran back home, and the faith
er did not turn him out Of doors For
that ofense . Washington J1ry has
brought him in guilty of harborin: a
slave, and his punisbmen, will be severe ="

The Massacre of the 81. Paul's Passengers.
HORRIBLE CASNIDAIIsM

The Chinese passenger Of the St Paul,
who was rescued by the steamer Styx,
and arrived on Tuesday, la, furnished us
with the following account Of the massacre
of the Chinese passengers by the 81.
Paul, wrecked at Rossel Island:
"The ship went on shore during the
night, and when she struck the passcn-
gers all rushed on deck, making great
outcry, upon which the captain drove
them all below again. When daylight
broke, We landed by means of the boats
on the Island, where we remained two
days without any water, when some of
US went on board the ship again to get
some, az also provisions. The cap,ain
left in his boat with some Of the crew,
and We were not disturbed by the natives
for a month after he was gone they
then come over from the mainland, die
tant about three-quarters Of mile, and
made an attack Oh us. Some Of us had
double. barrelled carbines, but we 70,
frightened and threw them away. The
only white man left with us, after the de-
parture Of Captain Pennard, was Greek,
who, having arm ed himself with a cut
lass, fought desperately and killed a
grea. many Of the natives before he was
overpowered. They took all our cloth
ing, &c, which they partly destroyed -
Any valuables they found, such as Sow
ereigns, rings, &c, they placed in a ne.
bag, which each man carried round his
neck. A watch particularly excited
their attention, rs they were continually
opening it to observe the reflection Of
their faces in the glass. At night We
were placed in the centre of clear piece
of ground and fires lit in several places,
the natives keeping regular watch over
us, aud during the day they would select
four or five Chinese, and after killing
them, roast the flesh, and eat it; what
was not consumed being deposited in
their nets. Their mode Of proceeding
was as follows: The victims being decid.
ed on they were taken out, beaten all over
excepting the head with a kind of club,
aud then dispatched by ripng the s.on-
ach open. The body was then cut up in
small pieces aud divided, the fingers,
toes and brains being eagerly songh. af-
ter; the bones were then collected, and

On one occasion some Of the Chinese

roots to eat, ald appeared 10 be quite

Whom the Lord I.oveth He Chasteneth.


We hardly know when the truth of
this passage Of scripture has more clear.
ly been illustrated to human eye-,han
in the case Of the Kentucky christian
witness, Anderson Jennings, The detail
of his christian labor., the long suffering
he has endured and the ill success tha,
has attended his excrtions in catching
runaway slaves, taken into the account
with his evident patience aud resigna-
tlon under adversely, clearly shows he is
ono, who, with the psalmis,, sings.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense.
But trus, him for his grace;
Behind a ffowning providence
lIo hides u smiling face.
Jennings evid n,ly leans not on the
human arm for support-he has come to
think but very little Of tha, kind of aid
aud comfort--but, like all true christians
he is waiting for his reward when, he
shall reach that home Of the faithful
"whcrs nigyers cease from running aud
the weary are at rest
Jennings christian race has been an
up hill one, and his chrirtian experience
is suggestive-yery.
We suppose him to be a fair type Of
Kentucky christians as = witness swears
to his regular church standing aud the
Maysviile paper vouches for him as one
Of the most respectable citizens of that
State. We will give a little of his chris
tian, warfare as related by himself, that
other church members of the same stamp
may sec what hard road such brethren
have to travel.
Jennings has been into Ohio three
times after runaway niggers and each
expedition has been without hope of re-
wnrd and merely an act Of nsi yhborly
kindness. Does not Jennings obey his
Savior, whose injunction is: Love thy
nei0hbor as thyself!
Jennings, in these expeditions, has
been successful but once, and that was
very near the Ohio. Some two years
since he came to Oberlin hunting q run
away nigger who had written that he
wanted to go back TO bondage, but on get
ting where the repentant slave was, the
nieger want there. But his last Ok pc
dition would make any one, save he who

collateral lsbors Of love. He goes to
Sandusky, having heard that two niggcr
women were there but that was false
scent. He then hears that his own slave,
Henry, is in Elyria and goes there only
to have this black will-o' .the-wisp change
its locality to GAINESVILLE. He HES thish-
er, but as soon Is he gets inside the cor
poration line he--to use his own express
sive language--fnds no might as well
get the devil out of Psinesville as mig
ger. What a trying position! But in
imitation Of his great Master he says get
thee behind me Satan--or nigger--and
leaves town entertaining the mos, lively
reeollections Of the great breach of faith
exhibited by the crowd, who promised
to give him twenty minutes in which to
get out Of town, but who did not in fact
allow him near 80 muck time a. that.
But this christian, although 10 "pcrils
often." has as good pluck as St. Paul
He goes back to Oberlin and when the
papers come on and the plans are all laid
he spends his last Sunday in Oberlin in
making a bargain with boy to decoy the
two negroes, so that he might "coofrm'
his claim to them by "imposi,ion of
hands," The boy says he will-for $40
a head-pretend that he wants to hire
the nggers to dig potatoes and thus get
them out Of town. The christian Jcn-
nings thinks that plan is worthy the
head Of the boy and the day on which the
plan is concocted. Jennings would put
off this little business transaction ill af:
ter Sunday, but he is afraid the niger
in the meantime, might run and getting
a higher out Of Oberlin and sheep ou,
Of pit on the Sabbath day, are alike Ia
bors of mercy, and enjoined by divine
command. On Monday the boy reports
that the Sunday lie wont work, for John
must tend Frank, who has cut hi. throat
and therefore cannot take the job Of dig
ging potatoes. But John knows of
niger that can be got to dig the potatoes
and so the decoy boy comes to his chris
tinn friend Jennings for further counsel
Then the price for betraying the niger
is doubled and the boy is to have $50 if
he will decoy John alone. Then this
christian pilgrim and the boy settle upon
the plan that the services Of John shall
be secured in hunting up the negro who
is to dig the potatoes and in that way
John was induced to take ride.
Now after ali this, this christian Ken
tuckian lost his labor, aud paid out his
own money, but in his boundess philsn.
thropy has n OF asked the owners of those
niggers he chased up and down the land,
to refund a dime. We really do not
know of any christisn who ever has gone
farther and fured worse.

Mob La ~ I'm Texas-.A Methodist Confer =
ence Broken up and Dispersed.

In sOme Of our relig ious exchanges, and
indeed in one or two circulsr papers, We
have seen reports that body Of preach
ers, recently holding conference at Tim
Der Creek, Fanniu county, Texas, at
which Bishop James presided, had
been dsT ersed by mob, but we hoped
tha, the repor, was either untrue or great
" exaggerated. Further information on
the subject, however, leaves no doubt that
at least nothing more than the truth has
been told respecting the matter. The
conference was composed, as is uniform
ly the case, of the regularly ordained
i.ineran. ministers laboring within Civ
en- region, their only object being to
preach the Gospel But these ministers
belonged not to the VI. h Church,
South, but, to the VI. +. Church, North,
and the shareholders of Fanuin county re-
solved that their presence should not be
tolerated. They therefore appointed
vigilance committee Of fifty to wnlt upon
them and warn them not to prosecute
further the business of the conference
and to order their departure from the
county, on pain Of having lynch law ap-
piled to them. The following appears to
be fair statement of the way in which
these gentlemen performed their mis-
sion:
"On the Sabbath, the grea. day Of the
Conference, Bishop James was in the pull
pit, and the introductory services were
in progress, when, from the windows of
the chucrh far away on the level plain,
might bo seen somc horscmen approach
ing. The house was about two-thirds
full, when they kneltin prayer; on arising,
the horsemen had arrived, tied their
hnrses aud crowded. into every nnen nlare
