A MODEM HERt ULEs A letter
from New Orleans to the St Louis Re-
publican relates the following incident:
"A gambler known as Mountain Jack
performed an extraordinary feat of
physical strength one night last week in
the bar-ro, m Of the St. Charles Hotel,
whe.e large number of the carnival
jewellers had assembled A drunken
fellow, dressed in Indian costume, rode
a horse into the bar room, and dis
mounted to take drink; aud while at
the bar, another drunken fellow climb
ed into the saddle, Mountain Jack, as
his name indicates, is a giant in size.
six feet seven inches high, finely pro-
portioned, and possessed of enormous
strecgth, even beyond his colossal pro-
poations. He was at the time on a
spree, and, although like NEST large
men, naturally good natured, is, when
under the influence of liquor, perfectly
wild. reckless. and untamable. A play.
full fancy seized him at the moment, and
STOPPING over the horse, he placed hi:
right arm around his belly just tehind
| the forelegs, and lifted the animal of
his legs, rider and all, and threw them
heavily upon the floor, with a SHOCK
that Jared the whole house. On find
ing himself down. the herse refused t.
get up, and the giant again laid bold o
him and set him upon his pins, in orde
to release the bruised and helpless ride
who bad fallen partly under the beast
and who considered himself lucky q
escape without broken bones. Late
in the day Jack got TO throwing tum
blers promiscuously, and was arreste,
by the united powers of about twent,
men,"

Dx. gosEpu Hvsrna-This gentle.

On. 1osEPH HUNTRR.-This gentle
man, prominent physician in Boasisr
parish, shot the free negro barber on
the steamer Lecomte few weeks since.
From the confused testimony OF the
officers Of the boat and of free negroes,
we are al a loss in arriving at any defin-
lite conclusion in tho matter. Undsr
what degree of aggrsyation DR.. Hunter
was laboring--to what extent the inn
prudence Of a free negro would palIiate
or excuse the act--remains to be inves-
tigated By the courts Of the country.
We have known this gentleman
from early childhood and take pleasure
in testifying to his character. We cam
not believe that he would take the life
of any one unless the provocaiion had
been great. DR.. Hunter 10 at home,
and not a refugee from Justice as the
New Orleans press assert. He demands
an investigation Of the case before bis

took place.
The testimony Of "a little slave boy
should not be taken rs proof positive
when the honor and the life Of an esti
mable citizen is in danger, and we must
express our surprise that the city press
should have seized upon it with such
avidity. In our issue Of the nth ult.,

Edward Bates Position Defined.


A st. Louis telegraphic dispatch Of
Tuesday, states that Edward Bates adj
dressed letter to the Missouri dele
gates to The Chicago Convention in re-
ply to interrogatories propounded by
them to him. The main points are as
follows:
He has no new opinions on the sub
jet of the extension of slavery. and has
formed none with the reference TO the
proposed array of the parties. Coeval
with the Missouri question Of 1920, he
formed his opinions and hasnot changed
them since. At the time Of the reyolu.
ton, and long after slavery was regar-
ded as an evil temporary in its nature
and likely to disappear in the course of
time; yet, while it continued It was a
misfortune to the country, socially and
politically. Slavery is a social relation:
domestic institution; IT exists by local
law. The Federal Government has no
control over it in State. The Terrific
ries are subject and subordinate, not
supreme, like States. The nation is
supreme over them. he is opposed to
the extension of slavery, and, in his
opinion, the spirit and policy of the
Government ought to be against it ex-
tension. The Constitution does not
carry slavery into the Territories, nor
anywhere. It only acts upon it where
it is established by local law.
The bred Scott case can only decide
that bred Scott was not citizen of the
United States. Theopinions of Judges
beyond this, are extrajudicial aud no
authority. The questions discussed by
them were political. not within their
cagnizanee, and belong to and could
BE disposed of only by the political de-
partments. The discussion was mos
unfortunate, as it produced a danger
ousconf1ict between coordinate branches
of the government. He favors the col
onization of the blacks in the trophies
the homestead bill, the immediate ad
mission ofKansas; perfect equality o
rights among citizens; the construction
ofthe Pacific Railroad under the aus
) pieces of the Government.
He is gratified that his name ha
only been used in spirit of harmony
and peace to prevent disunion and con
troversy among those who ought TO b,
united. He has neither sought no
held any political Office for twenty fig
years and is satisfied with the honor
+ paid him by the public Nashvill
} Union and american.
