Wllmot proviso, having no constitutional power to
do it but it can be done effectually, readily
in the Territories by Congress. Now in what posi-
tion has this placed the South? If either nterler-
ence by Congress the territorial legislature were
constitutional, (which OF course do not admit to
be the case then the plan adopted is far for
the South than the congressional plan; because il

THE TURF.
GREAT MATCH AT PHILADELPHIA BETWEEN Flora
TEMPLE AND GEORGE NJ. PATCHEN-D IsGRACEFUL
SCENES
Ihe scenes which were witnessed Yesterday after
noon at the Suffolk Park, during the second Phila-
dephla trot between the bay stallion George NJ
ratcoen and the bay mare Flora Temple, were of a
most Vicious and dsgraceful character. The pre-
Nlous match between thsse horses was not charac-
terlzed by remarkable morality, but it was fondly
hoped oy the patrons of the turf that the gambling
ana recklessness which marked that event would
not again ntrude themselves upon popular dispro-
val. Such was not the case Yesterday afternoon
The tollies of the 4th of July were magni6ed into
! deeds of brutality and wickedness which no cnm
munity should tolerate
| Gambling fourished within the enclosures and in
J auolton to the participants from our own city,
large crowd of New ork roughs was in attendance
! There seems to have been rowdy time of the
| worst kind ~
AT half past four O'Clock the horses were sound
ed to come to score. Their owners were present.
fatenen, @ 1t was currently said, had just been sold
Tor $4,000. FlOra's admirers were largely in the
majority. Betting to l on the mare.
FIRST HEAT.
The horses attempted to score amidst great ex-
citement Time after time they came to the stand
but so widely apart to warrant the belief that
they were afraid of each other. After eight or
nine unsuccessful scorings they came to the scratch
at t1u trot and received the word "go" amidst tu-
muitu0us shouts, Patchen leading by a length. In
the hrst quarter Flora broke but came down to the
| trot In an instant. Patchen rapidly widened the
distance between them, and at the halfmile had
increased it to five lengths. On the second quar-
ter, however, he made bad break, but recovered
himself and passed the stand amidst great cheering
two lengths in advance. There little percepti-
Bile alteration of rate therea ter. During the mile
| and quarter and mile and halfthe horse kent
| himself the leader by three lengths and reached
the score more than two lengths the winner. The
| following is the time:
Quarter. Sga3f Mile and ahaf.....385
'''','''..'.. llO Mile and three qrs...4l2
| Ihree quarters 145A Two miles. .....451%
The crowd in front were agitated at the defeat of
scoring, and INDUCED in IA number Of picturesGue
| fights of a rough and tumble cast. Nearly an hour
elapsed between The first and second heats
! HEAT.
After an unsuccessful score the nags crossed the
scratch nearly abreast and it was understood that
| the word had been given. Patchen, however,
broke at the start, and they were called back
| Flora's driver refused to obey the order however
and troted around the track followed at leisure bv
| Patchen, who was refined in at the score. Flora
| continued to trot the two miles. The scenes
during the heat were beyond power of description.
| The Judges were menaced. Cries of "robbery"
were frequent, and amid hootngs yells, and curses
which merged into several scTambles and duarrels
the decision OF the Judges was made out to be- that
there had been no score and consequently no heat
The horses were ordered to recommence the heat
Immediately.
They crossed the score to repeat, at dusk, Flora
leaoiDg by nearly length. Patchen Tapped her
at the quarter pole, but broke almost Immediately
At the half mile he was rapidly filling up the space
between them, but broke they were again lap
ping. They passed the score with Flora length
in advance Patchen broke twice the second
mile, but in the intervals gained rapidly on the
mare. At the third quarter they again Tapped and
came dashing down the home stretch abreast II
was evident that the stallion would win and the
rOwdes whose money had been wagered on the
mare crowded into the track to the number of a
hundred, and hurled canes, hats and clubs promis
cuously at the head and face of Patchen OF course
the stallion broke, and the mare came to the score
several lengths the winner. The more respectable
and orderly witnesses cried shame The rowdies
cheered boisterously.
After the lapse of few moments the JUDGES de-
cided that Flora had won the heat

The owners of Patchen at once withrew him and
the trot was given to Flora Temple amid loud
cheers. There is but one epithet to apply to all
| these proceedings, and that is scandalous The
| sports of the turf have received stain which
years will not wash out; and horse racing in this
city will long be identified with Suffolk Park, GAM
bling, and fraud.

AN AMERICAN Consul VISITING A SIcILIAN PRISON.
Rev. G. w. Bridges writes to the London Times
of the 9th account of visit made at the time
of the revolution of lS48 to prison in Palermo
81 was at that moment a visit to Mr.. Marston
the American Consul there whose influence among
the SiciIians was almost equal to that of our own
venerable, talented and higly-respected Consul
Mr.. Goodwin, and adjoining whose house the
prison into which had seen the forty-eight

Neapolitan system of police, just then humanely

medately joined the returning crowd, curious to
| see the place where they had been captured which
| was at the distance of some streets; and when we
| reached it we found the excited posulace venting
their harmless Indignation by merely throwing
from its windows the papers, books and furniture
until their attention seemed to be drawn to a por-
| ton of the building into which they had not pene-
trated-had not, in fact, discovered any visible en-
trance. 1t was soon, however, found and forced,
