PRICE TWO CENTS

ICE L W. CENTS
The WILD AFRICANS SURRENDERED-The two AZ
ricans OF the Wanderers cargo, that were arrested
in Macon some weeks ago by the Deputy United
States Marshal and brought to the Jail of this city
were discharged yesterday under the following cir
/ cumstances:
Mr.. c. A. l.. Lamar it seems made affidavit be-
fore Justice Staley, that the aforesaid Africans
were his property, that he had quiet and peaceabe
possession Of them and that they were taken from
him without his consent. Upon this affidavit JUS
! tice Staley issued possessory warrant, addressed
to Charles Van Horn, the Jaor of Chatham coun-
ty and directed him to bring the negroes before
him, the aforesaid Justice. This requsition was
promptly ooeyed by the Jailor, and the Africans
being brought before the Justice Mr. John A.
Tucker swore that he had seen them in possession
of the claimant in December last whereupon the
Africans were turned over to Mr.. Lamar, and the
| novel proceedings brought to close The pro-
ceedings, we hear, were wholly purte, and dis
posed of in a very brief space of time
1t is but due to the United States District At
torney, Mr.. Ganahl who has discharged his duty
in these slave trade cases with praseworthy fidelity
| to the Government, to add that he was engaged at
the time in legal investigation before the Court of
Admiralty, and had not the slightest intimation of
| what was going until the entire matter had been
disposed of.-Sarannah Republican, March 8.
From the Easton (Ia.) Express March 81
We are reliably informed that little child was
buried on Sunday evening last in town, in a raisn
box the mother being too poor to procure a coffin
for its remains. The child died in the latter part of
last week, when the mother placed it in the box
and on Sunday morning started, with the box un-
der her arm, and accompanied by her little boy of
three or four years of age for grave yard in New
| Jersey, about two miles below Easton, where some
of her friends are buried, and where she thought
| she would be allowed to bury her child, though she
had no money to pay for its interment; but upon
| reaching the graveyard, the sexton refused to dig
the grave because she had not dollar to give him.
| and roughly told her to the dead child hack
| to Easton again. The poor creature almost
exhausted from carrying the dead child such dis
| tance under her arm, and went down upon her
knees lmploring him to bury her little one and of
tering him fifteen cents-a the money she had
but this did not move him. She then took up the
box again. and returned home with her little hov
who too small to be of any assistance to her in
| getting back her sorrowful load. In the evening
gentleman who had been told of the case went to
the garret in which the poor mother lives, and
took away the dead child kindly buryng it for her
without charge.

An ANCIENT BIBLE.-The papers are speaking of
an edition and translation (the latter by Prof AL
! bert Rilliet) of Bible brought from the East in
the sixth century and found in the archives of the
Vatican by the late Cardinal Maj the discoverer of
| Ciccros Republic The story given of the Bible ia
as follows The Cardinal determined to publish it,
but when it was printed Leo MI. ordered it to be
destroyed, on the ground it contained typographi-
cal errors. The true of its suppression how
ever, was this: The septuagint translation of the
Hebrew books sent by the King of Jerusalem to the
library of Alexandria contained several errors of
translation, which were copied into the vugate,
and some ceremonies and rites of the Romish
Church are built on these very Cardinal
Mai's MSS. had none of these errors. The edition
now publishing at Geneva is made on copy of the
MSS. of the sixth century, which Cardinal Mai
tried in vain to pubsh.-Paris Cor. Boston TraU.

| outstanding orders unpaid issued in the above
named years amounting to between ten and fifteen
thousand dollars. This last amount swells the off

The young city of Racine, in Wisconsin, follow
ing the bad examples Of other corporations of the
State, and encouraged by worse legislation to stay
the collection OF debt, has defaulted upon its Bonds
1t appears, however, that the city authorities were
not remiss in levying the proper tax to their
credit, but certain citizens sued out Injunction
to arrest its collection, and that injunction has been
gra,ted by the Courts Of the State. A meeting of
the Bondholders, some of them representing a Eu-
ropean interest, was held in New York on Saturday
last, and upon a statement of the facts, Mr. A. S.
| Beckwith, of Hartford, and Mr.. Charles Luling of
New Y 0rk, were appointed to defend their rights,
either in the State Federal Courts and to engage
legal counsel to their assistance.

stratlon of want of confidence in his impartialitv.

Senate.
The editor of the Ohio Statesman saws that, in a
trip northward last week, he observed that the
wheat crop appears generally in good condition.
and where it was otherwise, it was evidently owing
to unsEilltul or negligent tillage. The Winter
! which we supposed to have been very trying to
wheat, seems not to have injured it. In many
places it has suffered from standing water. Except
in such cases, and where it sown very late the
crop promises fair yield at least, and some farm
| ers say 1t IS uncommonly promising.
