The LENNON Case.

BY the highest Court of Judicature IN the
State of New York, the Court Of Appeals,
which has just concluded a termaAAlbapy, the
famous Lennon case has just been decided by
an affirmation of the Judgment of the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Lennon, Of Virginia, it will be remem-
bered, brought a number ofslaves to New \ ork
city for the purpose of embarking with them
for Texas but upon being brought before the
late Judge Payne on habeas corpus, he pro-
nounced them free, on the ground that the ow-
ner had voluntarily brought them into the
State.
Thereupon, a number of New York mer-
chants subscribed and paid over-to Mr.. Lem
mon a sum equal to the value of his liberated
slaves. But the State of Virginia took up the
case and caused the present suit to be institut-
ed, in the endeavor by a decision in Mr.. Lem
on's favor to establish the principle that a
STAKEHOLDER has a right to hold his slaves in a
Free State, if brought there, not for the pur-
pose of remaining, but of passing on to another
Slave State. The Supreme Court Of New
York first, and now the Court of Appeals has
decided against any such right. The case will
now go up to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States at Washington, and upon the ruling
of that Court in the bred Scott case, it is APP
pretended that the decision of the New York
tribunals may be reversed.

yellow skins from Pearlash.

As the ladies are interested in whatever i'm
proves or Injuries the skin, we reproduce the
following speculations Oh the sallowness of com
plexion, from the Philadelphia Ledger:
If our Western friends can in any way teach
their wives, daughters, or cooks, to keep the
pearlash out OF their bread, all the yellow reo-
pie, especially the yellow child en-, who are
supposed to be turned yellow by the fever and
ague and bilious fevers, will soon be turned
white. 1t is a great mistake to suppose that
the yellow countcnances Of the West come
from bile, it is only the enormous quantities of
pearlash eaten in the bread that is reflected
through the skin. Bread is the staff Of life, it
is said,-and so it is--but it is the staff Of
death, too, in this country. Bad bread kills
about as many people here as bad rum. So
many people eat poisonous pearlash for bread
that they die by inches. Dyspepsia that
great monster disease of the country, that de-
ranges the liver, brings. on costiveness, and
thus finally kills the human victim,-is half the
time pcarlash.' Here, in the East,-out of
New England,-we have nearly driven off the
pcarlash s~aleratus cooks, but not altogether
Pearlash lives here yet in bread, but in cities
and towns we have nearly driven out the MUIR
derers. In the distant Western towns, beyond
the good hotels of the lakes and rivers, pearl
ash, under the name of saleratus, is the king.
1t is p~earlash for breakfast, p%carlash for din
ner, and pearlash for supper. 1t is not any
wonder, then, that the people of the East turn
yellow West, and sicken not Of Fever and ague,
bilious and congestive fcvers, but Of pearlash
three times a day.

The Charleston Convention, which assem-
bles on Monday next, is the absorbing topic
at present in political circles, and speculations
as to the result are conflicting as ever. The
friends of Douglas, who are cougregated at
Washington in large numbers. appear quite
~sanguine Of his success, which indeed seems
quite probable, though the Administration
men and fre-eaters continue to protest that he
stands no chance. If he is nominated the
probabilities are that he will lose several of
the Southern States, which any other nominee
would be certain to carry-while, as regards the
free States, the only difference will be, that with
Douglas the party will make as good a fight
as they can Though it will be of no avail
without third-party aid in a few of the doubt
full ones), whereas with any other man they
will go into the contest dispirited by a thor
ough consciousness of impending defeat. To
the Republicans it matters little whether the
nominee be Douglas or some other aspirant.

A comparison of the expenditures under
Republican and Democratic rule in our State,
in any and every department of the public ser
vice. tells strongly in favor of the Republicans.
We have recently shown by contrast the large
" increased cost of Democratic over Repub-
lican Legislation, as regards per diem of mem
bers, &c, as also in the item Of clerk hire
We add to-day an item relative to the Board
of Public Works, which shows an equally IA
vorable result. The expense of managing
these works under the Democratic law of 1858,
was S25,450 under the Republican law Of
1860, S20,40O-a saving of $5,050, to which
must be added S2,1O0 saved by reducing sala-
ries of officers, which makes the total annual
saving $3.50 90.

DETERMINED TO DIE-The Peoria Tran
script says that a man committed suicide in
that vicinity, a few days since, in the following
manner
Ee went into the woods armed with a knife,
revolver and rope, and first attempted to cut
his throat, but failed from some cause, He
then took his rope and revolver and mounted
to the limb of tree oyerhanging the river,
made the line fast around his neck, and the
other end to a limb just above his head then
placing the pistol to his head, fred and tum-
bled from his seat. The limb to which he had
attached the line proved two weak to hold his
weight, and he fell into the river, where he was
found dead.

How DouGLAs Is TO BE PUr TuRoueu.-

How DOUGLAS Is TO BE PUr THRoUGH.-In
reply to an article favoring the Illinois senator
in the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, the Sa-
yannah Republican declares it is a great mis-
take to suppose that the southern states will
to issues got up by politicians, and vote
for Douglas under the fear of Seward. The
Republican then goes on to observe
-Four ffths OF them regard the pledges of
Seward on the subject Of slavery quite as I'M
objectional as the pledges of Douglas and
they will vote for another candidate, whether
their leaders order to the contrary or not
Should Douglas be nominated at Charleston
that other candidate will be presented for their
suffrages, and all the whips and spurs that
democracy ever invented will be powerless to
drive the people from his support. We tell
this now to the friends of Douglas, and give
them timely notice to prepare for the contest.
The people have no choice between Douglas
and Seward, and the abolition raw head and
bloody bones giH scare nobody at his day.
The democrats of the South are the best
drilled partisans on earth, and will make many
sacrifices for the success of the party, but we
tell the Constitutionalist it is a fatal intake to
suppose that they are insensible to shame,
strangers to principle, and will stand anything
that may be put upon them

Rsfber formidable demonstration in the


Rather 8 formidable demonstration IN the
way Of a political State Convention came OF at
Columbus on Wednesday. 1t was an assem-
blase of the Union Party of the State, con-
vened in pursuance of = regular call, for the
purpose of selecting delegates TO the Baltf
more Convention, which meets on the 9Th of
Nav. The Convention consisted OF eleven
delegates from Hamilton county, five from
Montgomery, one from Belmont, one from
Champaign. one from Greene, and one or two
volunteers from Franklin. This formidable
array of delegates went through the formality
of appointing delegates to the Bal imore Con-
veution both for the State at large and such
of the districts as had not already made their
selections and also took a vote on the Presi-

A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE-The Richmond
Examiner (the Hunter organ says "a South
ern nomination only can unite the entire South,
and a really conservative candidate can do this
with certainty. What Northern candidate
can combine the South? Not one. No man
believes any can. The domination Of a Nor
thern man will divide a power now united, and
will call into existence parties to distract and
weaken the conservative strength Of the Sol
thern States. In Virginia, even, the old OPP
ponents of the Democracy will make a strong
and dangerous struggle against the Democracy
led by a Northern candidate. In Kentucky
and Tennessee a contest woald be doubtful,
with the chances against the Democracy. In
Maryland we would be beaten. Under the
strongest Northern Democrat we could not
count on South Carolina, Georgia or Missis-
sippi, with certainty"

COOKS "QUEEN OF. THE AIR."-Nr. ". d.
Cook has published u brief article in the Mans
geld Hearal, correcting the report that he had
given up the construction of his wonderful Air
Ship. He states that the work of construc-
ton will 90 on as fast as he can accumulate
funds to pay for it, aud that his famous Sugar
Evaporator has placed him upon the high road
to pecuniary success. Mr.. Cook claims to
have greater confidence than ever in the prac-
ticabiiity Of air travelling, and that he has de-
vcIoped ii principle in Electro Magnetism by
which he can secure as great a propelling pow
er as man can ask. His Queen of the Air. is
designed to bring this power into use. He
thus concludes
Steam has its limits. "Tbus far and no far
thcr'' is written in reference to its application,
but to the new motive power which 1 believe
it has been my fortune to develop, there is no
limit. No clumsy walking beams, g~roaning
pistons, stupcndous shafts or cracking cogs
will disfgurc the architecture of my beautiful
Queen of the Air" No unwieldy balloon is
wanted to bnoy it up above the earth carrying
danger with it, yet at our bidding she will
mount up, and at any desired speed will bear
us to the utmost ends of the earth.

A confession OF MURDER-THE SECRET
KEPT FOR FIFTEEN YEARs.-HVe learn from
the Boston Journal of the 10th instant, that a
man named Weed. recently returned from Cali
faysis to Sandwich, New Hampshire, con-
fess~a upon his Dying bed, that he and another
man were the murderers of a Mr.. Parker, OF
Manchester, in 1S45. The letter announcing
his confession does not enter more fully into
particulars. Mr.. Parker, the murdered man,
was, at the time Of lis death, tax collector for
Manchester, and was called out of bis house
one night on the pretence that he was wanted
at a house, The road 10 which laid through a
tract Of woods. On the way thither he was
murdered. and his dead body found in the
woods the next day. The murder created a
great excitement at the time, and two men
(brothers) were subsequently tried twice on the
charge Of being the murdercrs, but escaped con-
%viction.

The last excitement at Washington has
been /. threatened duel between Pryor, ct
Virginia, and Potter, of Wisconsin, growing
out of the Lovejoy fracas. Pryor charged
Potter with interpolating in the Published pro-
ceedings remarks be bad not made, or rather
remarks that Pryor did not hear him make
Porter denied the charge, and Mr.. Dawes Of
Mass testified to having heard him use the
language complained o-which, under the cir
cumstances, was not offensive to Pryor. Pot
ter. on his part. charged Pryor with erasing.
without authority, portions of his remarks as
furnished TO the reporters. Pryor, with a
view of intimidating Potter. limited that a re-
traction was necessary in order TO avoid a
challenge-Pofar stood by his language-the
challenge came, was promptly accepted, and
Bowie Knives named as the weapon selected.
This took Mr.. Pryor and his friends by sur
prise, and they declined an encounter with any
such " barbarous and vulgar" weapon Mr..
Pottcr.s friend, Col. Lander, placed himself at
THE service of Mr.. Pryor and his friends. offer
ing to fight any of them in their own way and
with any weapon they might designate, but
they replied they had no quarrel with him
There the matter ended-the principals having
meantime been arrested aud held to bail to
keep the peace. The correspondence shows
that after the failure TO come up to Potter's
Aorr1c b,I hoaap.o nr,blIa an1 ono Of the 1ar-
ties had been arrested, Pryor prepared a
couple of notes, one repudiating the action OF
bis friends and offering to accept the weapon
proposed, the other suggesting the naming of
a time and place for a street fight either party
to arm himself as be chose-but neither of the
notes was delivered. Potter seems to occupy
the best position, as the quarrel was forced up
on him without any just cause, with1e evil
dent design of silencing him OF compelling the
acceptance of a challenge-the bowie knife is
distinctively a Southern weapon, and constant
y used in personal encounters in that section
and to insure equality in the combat a selec-
ton Of the kind was indispensable, as a con-
test with the pistol between Pryor, a profes-
sional d~uelist, and his unskilled opponent
would be about as equal as a contest in
the prize ring between Heenan or Morrisey
and a person who had never practiced boxing
or seen an encounter Of the kind. Mr.. Pryor
in challenging Potter, evidently got more than
he anticipated.

besides, numerous sail boats came over loaded

WRoNG END FIRsr.-In Wilmington, North
Carolina, on Saturday evening last, Joseph S.
Ganaday, a young mechanic, who had just
purchased a dirk, while jesting with a compan-
ion, playfully struck his own breast with the
knife, crying, Lay on Macdnffr' His friend
told him that he had stabbed himself. He
stated that he had not, but upon looking at
his breast perceived the blood. when he utter
ed good Lord r. and falling backward in the
door, died almost instantly. 1t is supposed
that when he struck himself with the dagger,
he intended to do so with the handle, as he
had often done before, repeating dramatic quo
~tations, a. esuiting the action te the word.n
