Last Saturday, we learn from the Wabash
(Ia Intelgencer, man named William Joy
was convicted Of burning his oion child 10 death,
aud sentenced 10 eighteen years confinement in
the Penitontiary The principal witness
against hin was his little daughter Nancy,
whose story to the jury is thus given by the In.
telligoncer. We should premise that the of
fence was committed in the fall of 1857, but
concealed by the family through fear of the
father till his arrest for another offence, lately
Cove them an opportunity to tell IL without fear
4Ier little brother John, a child about four
months old, was quite unwell, and had been so
for some days, and was consequently tretiul,
and had cried considerably during the night and
disturbed her father Early in the morning her
father called TO her and told her to get up and
| make q fire. She did so-made the fire princ-
Ipally Of brush, because there was no other
wood prepared After the fire began to burn,
the child continuing to cry and fret her father
| became enraged, and snatc led the child from its
mothers arms tore every particle Of clothing
off it, and then took it by one arm and one leg,
and held it over the fire until it was burned in
several places TO a blister lie then struck the
little sufferer two blows with his hand, leaving

threw it into the cradle or bed His wife and
daughter struggled to yet the child away from
him, but were unable to do so and when Mrs.
JOY found that he was going to burn the child
to death, she ran out OF the house to prevent
seeing the sight, and to get out of hearing of the
chlds screams Joy took down his gun and
pointed it at her compelled her to come in -
lie the left the house and did not return as
we understand, for day or two. Four days
after this terrible scene the little suffering child
died and was buried. Mono bat Joy and his
wife aud two young daughters knew anything
about the cause Of its death The neghboring
women, who came in and assisted to lay out the
child, found it so mortified and decayed that
they could not wash it, or even take off the
clothing upon Il. Joy told his wife and daugh.
t,rs that if they ever said a word about it he
wonld kill them, and they believed him, and SO
kept the horrible secret.

LerisIntivn SUMMARY.

The Senate passed the General Appropra.
ton Bill, Tuesday night, about 10 O'Clock, as
il passed the House; so The appropriation for
the oyerdraft for the repair of the Public Works
last June, was left out
Mr. Collins bill which passed the House
last winter, regulating the mode of administer.
ing assignments in trust for creditors, has fl
nalIy found its way through the Senate, and is
now law. IL makes some radical changes
from the present law, and lawyers should ex-
anime it.
MIR. Canfelds Senate bill for the relief OF
railroads met with spacdy death in the House
yesterday, by being indefinitely postponed.
a bill passed both Houses yesterday reguat-
ing tue mode OF submitting the amendment to
the Constitution for annual sessions OF the Le-
gislature.
The Senate bill making appropriation for the
Public Works, passed the House yesterday, so
amended as to provide for the leasing Of the
canals to the highest bidder lor the term of ten
years, on the 18th day of August next.
A fierce discussion was had upon the canal
bill in the Senate, last evening, and it was
very evident that the bill could not paes that
body in its present shape An effort was
being maie at the time we closed our report
to refer the bill to a select committee fol
amendments
The appropriation blll Tor The Public WORKS
with amendment to lease them, passed the
House yesterday p N, went to the Senate; was
referred to the committee on Public Works,
which reported at the evening session that the
bill was crude, imperfect and unsafe and there
was not time to perfect it; after debate it was
referred to a select committee, who will report
it this morning 1t is quite doubtful if the
measuro can pass the Senate, and the appropri
atoms for the Public Works are in some jeOp'
ardy. .--Ntate Jour. 9Th.

Popular or sqnatier Sovereignty South

The Douglas creed fluids little or no favor
South with any party. It is everywhere re
pulisted, and by nearly everybody. The lead
ing Democrats and the Democratic presses spit
upon it, The Opposition reject it, aud the
Louisville journal, whi1h is recognized as a
lending paper Of the Opposition, journal
which hes no fellowship for Douglas or Bu-
chauah Democracy, floats the doctrine o squat
ter sovereignty as a dirty heresy" A late
Journal contains an article which is important
as indicating the unanimity of the South on the
new issue Douglas is to be crushed undsr Ii
is an attack upon his favorito doctrine Of squat
ter or popular sovereignty, and an argument to
show that the people Of the South must have
protection for their slaves in the Territories
irrespective of the wishes of a majority of the
people Of the Territories The leading Oppo.
siton journal takes the identical ground to
which Mr. Buchanan is committed and which
is insisted upon by Mason of Virginia, Toombs
Of Georgia. Brown and Davis of Mississippi,
and others of that school. 1t urges federal
legislation in behalf of slave property in the
Territories, aud in response to the suggestion
that the majority in Congress is from the
North and will not hear such legislation, and
that, therefore, the South need not insist upor
it, says
Are VIC to throw away the Constitution anc
adopt Northern sentiment or Northern vagary
as our political chart If so, if our publl'
convictions are indeed no more rooted or stead
fast than this, if we adapt ourselves thus readl-
" and submissivcly to the eccentricites or en-
croachments Of the outnumbcring North, heay
en- only knows how low we shall presently b.
called on to bow our silly and dlshonoret
heads, or how tsmely we shall obey the call
The argument is libel on the sagacity aud az
outrage on the self respect Of the people OF the
South. We repudiate it in their name with un-
speakable adherence and disgust Besides
squattor sovereignty, independently of its anti
slavery aspect, is a mean and false aud dirty
bOFesV.

Tennessee aud Prcsidcnt J. b.

The Convention of the Opposition party in
Tennessee, held at Nashville on the 29th ult,
was largely attended and very spirited. Hon.
Neil s. Brown presided. Speeches were made
by Hon j. Clement, formerly Senator from AL
ALBANIA, ex-senator H. 5. Foote of Mississippi,
and others, which were received with great enthu-
siasm. Col John Netherland was nominated
for Governor, and platform of ten panks was
adopted. 1t Is strongly auti.Adminstration,
and favors a tariff, discriminating in favor OF
American Industry.
Ex-senator James G. Jones, Of Tenn, for
merly Wing, but of late strong Administra-
ton supporter, has come out for Col. Neither
land for Governor This has netted the Wash
ington Union, and being now undlr the imme
date control of Buchanan, it embraces the occa-
sion in noticing the apostacy of Ex-senator
Jones to resume the war on Senator Douglas --
The Union remarks snecringly that Jones "lf
the identical individual that was heard last
summer as slumping the State OF Illinois IN Ia
vor of the re election of Senator Douglas" and
with bitterness adds:
Inc southern DenloSl"Cy "i'i
from this, how far, and to what extent, sympa-
thy with the antiLecompton faction at the
North corresponds with the same feeling Tor the
success of the Democratic party in the South
At the North, the sympathizers with Judge
Douglas claimed to be as good Democrats al
could be found anywhere From the position
of the late Senator from Tennessee, however, L
seems that the Opposition was more Wit !, than
a mere difference of opinion, with the Admin
istration on the Lecompton question. We opln'
that this is only the beginning OF the develop
ments that will take place, in showing the n.y.
dra headed monster that as TO come ont Of this re-
beLlioa against The Democracy, from which the
Administration Mould have saved the arly.

rhe TxIcr sentence.

Judge Wilkins sentenced Deputy United
States Marshal Tyler, who killed Capt. Jones, to
pay one dollar fine, and twenty days imprison-
ment in the County Jail That is all.
Bya gentleman from Detroit we learn that
general Indignation as wei as surprise was felt
at the sentence pronounced by Judge wilkins.
The Advertiser comments sharply and justly,pro-
nouncing the sentence an outrage. 1t says
Henceiorth there will be some ground for the
charge OF Canadian AM Cleveland neighbors,
that Justice in Detroit, as dealt out by the United
States authorities, is the vcriest farce and hum
bug--a mere mockcry. One dollar and one
moath's Imprisonment for what, under the cir
cutnstan ;es that resulted in Capt Jones deatllr
we cannot help designating murder, Is the
value of mans life, os estimated in the United
States Court of Michigan, Hon. Ross Wilkins
presiding. The dollar which Marshal Tyler
was ordered to pay into the Treasury OF the
United States, covers the sentence with feel
ing very like contempt and rdcule, and affords
almost parallel to the benevolent EngEsman,
who bequeathed farthing upon his death, to.
wards the payment of the national debt OF Great
Britain

A Neu constiinrlon for Canada.

We see that movement is being made in ar
lament to obtain Convention for the purpose
of preparing a Constitution ioE the future Gov
ernment of Canada, the same to be submitted
to the people, and afterwards to the Imperial
Parliament, for approval or rejection. ResoIu-
tons to this effect have been moved in both
branches of the Provincial Parliament, in the
Council by Mr.. Morris, in tue Lower House by
Mr.. Merritt. The Convention to consist OF
twenty-four delegates, twelve from each Prov
ince. The movement is an anomaly in British
colonial history; as well as another step towards
Republcanism and independence.

WARDS New STRAMER--RUNNING ARRANGE
MENTs.-The new steamer of our enterprising
fellow citizen, e. b. Ward, Esq, has been
christened the Sea Bird most appropriate
name, as applicable both to her beauty and su.
porior qualities as a "sea boat" She is built,
as we have before intimated, with am eye to all
kinds oi weather, and is as strong as wood and
iron can make her She has a powerful low
pressure engine, and will be finished of with
elegant state rooms, enabling her TO carry two
hundred cabin passeng ers quite comfortably
Her model is beautiful one, and her bow 80
sharp that only one can look at it al the same
time, Yankees excepted, who arc accustomed
to "lOoking sharp"
We learn that the Arctic will commence run
ming on the 18th inst, and will leave Cleveland
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the
arrival OF the Western and Southern trains
The Sea Bird will be ready on the lst Of May,
and will leave Buffalo on the same day az
above, thus forming daily line.-Dstroi

II The people of the modern Athens are be-
ginning to be seriously alarmed about the Irish
who have become so numerous in and about
Boston, aud "multiply and replenish" SO fast
that they aud their descendants are gaining with
great rupidity on the Puntanic natives. Though
the Mayaower folks had the start, some genera
tions, the process Of determination goes OF
palpably. The Springfield (dass) Republican
says:
Of the 5,597 children born in Boston las
year, only All were of pure native parentage
while 1904 had foreign parents. and ,9l9 ha,
one foreign parent. SO that only about one
fourth of the children born in Boston last yea
! are ofnaliye stock. The marriages tell the sam
| story There were 2l55 couples married, lea
by $50 than the previous year, and the Who'll
falling OIL was among the natives, the Iris
marrying as freely as usual Only one third @
tho marriages were by natives,
