refused to obey.

OF the occasion, and transparencies were numerous
throughout the procession. On reaching the iail
calls were made for the prisoners and these pres

"We never saw so many negroes in Cleveland be-

time this forenoon that they were almost forced
to light candles for the orators to speak by There
were about three acres of negroes around the Jail

The same paper also relates the following incident:
Col. John johnson, veteran of re, who stood

TRIAL OF CAPT. TOWNSEND THE SLAVE BRId
ECHO, OR PUTNAM.-The trial of Capt. Townsend
was brought before the District Court of the United
States on the 18th inst, his honor Judge William
Marvin presiding.
The District Attorney, John L. Tatum, ESQ.
moved to put off the trial until November next on
account of the absence of material witnesses re-
siding in New Orleans, who it appears had not been
subpGned. The Court refused the melton and the
trial proceeded. Lieutenants Motfatt Bradford and
Carpenter, proved the capture of the slave brig
Echo, and identified the Echo as being the brig
Putnam of New Orleans. They also proved Town
send to have been board and the prominent
spokesman at the time of the capture and that
some 300 or more African negroes were found on
board nearly all diseased, distressed and in naked
and emaciated condition. Mr. Clapp. Denutv Z s
Marshal for Rhode Island, proved the citizenship
of ofTownsend, and testified that he was born in Pro-
vdence.
The District Attorney then offered in evidence a
copy of the register of the brig Putnam issued bv
the Collector OF the port of New Orleans (asO GER
titled to by him, to the said brig in which Town
send was represented to be the owner. The Court
rejected this evidence, on the ground that a cory
certified under the seal of the Collector was not ad
miSsibe, and also the ground of its irrelevancy
to the issue-the point to be proved not being the
nationality of the vessel but the ownership title
in citizen Of the Unted States and that the regis
ter did not prove ownership The District Ator-
nev then offered in evidence original bill of sale
OF the brig Putnam, from former owner to Town
send which had been left file in the Custom House.

trict Attorney rested here. Without argument or
summing up the Court directed the jury to find the
prisoner not guilty, inaSmuch there was no proof
before the jury that the Echo or Putnam was owned
In whole or IN part by citizen of the United
States, which material to be proved in order
to maintain the indictment, nor was there any proof
that the vessel was a foreign vessel. The Jury
brought in verdict of not guilty.

The AMERICANS IN LOUIsIANA.-Hon. Geo Eustis
who for four years has been the Know Nothing rem
resentative in Congress from the First district of
Louisiana and the head and front of the American
party in New Orleans, has written letter to his
constituents declining to be again a candidate for
their sutfrages. He SAYS:
The fusion of the shattered legions of the Ameri-
cans, in most of the free States with the republi-
can party-their repeated and overwhelming de-
teats in the Southern States the sectional color
assumed by the politics of the country leave no
room to doubt the fact that, as national party
the American party no longer exists and that in the
coming Presidential election the contest for SUI
premacy will be narrowed down to the republican
and democratic parties. Indeed, in louisiana as a
State party, the American party bids fair to fall to
pieces, If we permitted Judge bv the signs of
the times In the Presidential contest where the field
will be occupied by the republican and democratic
forces, marshaled in battle arrav, no Southern
man can hesitate as to his place; no son of Louis
lana can mistake his banner; for, whatever errors
the democratic party may have cOmmitted-and it
undoubtedly has many to answer for-whatever in
constituencies 1t may have fallen into we must bear
IN mind that Southern men, Southern statesmen
have ruled supreme in its councils, and have held
its destines in their hands. MANY of fthem, perhaps
conte mplate now with dismay the results obtained
by their imprudent and unwise direction and guild
ance. Besides, it is incontestaby true that the
democracy of the free States, together with the
fragments of the National Americans, constitute
alone IN those sections of the country that portion
of the community which entertains any respect for
the rights of the South under the constitution and
the Union. These men certainly entitled to our
| respect, our countenance and support,

The New BsHoP OF New JERsEY.-The election
of Rev. William II. Odenheimer to the office of
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New
Jersey, led to demonstrations Of great joy in the
Convention at Burlington. The newspapers of
New Jersey also express much satisfaction at the
result.
The Newark Adrertiscr says:
Rev. William II. Odenheimer, D. D.. the newly
elected Bishop is at present the Justly admired and
the esteemed Rector of st. Peters Church, Phila-
delphia. That Church comprises among its con-
gregaon the elite of the Episcopal Church in that
city, and the fact that he has for many years
tanned himself there, acquiring and retaining uni
versa love and respect is sufficient proof of his
talents, his wisdom, accomplishments, churchman-
ship and piety.
He is about As years of age, tall and of very pre-
possessing presence. In church politics be is known
a decided High Churchman, but is not given to
the extremes which have made some members OF
that party odious to the Low Church party. He is
on excellent terms with his brethren ofthe other
party, and indeed possesses the regard of citizens
Of all classes and denominations.
Without having the very rare energy and
strength of will of the late Bishop, nor perhaps
equaling him in talent or varied requirements he
is first class man, under whom the affairs of the
diocese will be wisely and justly administered, and
the party known as the Opposition" will doubtless
give him cheerful and earnest support.
