body of the captain was found alongside of the
bridal bed, but the maniac who had killed him
was never recognized afterwards. He belonged
to Cornwall and probably found shelter from
pursuit in the miues until the excitement pass
ed away.
The lady stated at the time and many years
Afterwards, that the attack of the maniac was
so sudden and silent that she knew nothing OF
it until she felt the pressure of the captains
body on the edge Of the bed. 10 held the vic
tim around the neck with his right hand, and
turned HIM from side to side as easily as il he
had been a child while the fore finger and
thumb Of the left hand grasped her own throat
ready to extingush her own life if she raised
the alarm.
His face was pale and death like, his eyes
started, but were motionless, ard every word he
uttered seemed to issue from the very depths of
his soul. The captains looks were terrible be-
yond descrip iption-death left the impress Of le-
rocity upon his darkened features. How the
maniac entered or left the room she never knew.
His departure was as noiseless as his entrance
SO paralyzed was she with fear that an hour
elapsed before she could muster courage to call
for help; but she thanked God, when the cap
tains cruel character became generally known
ashore, that she had been rescued from hts al
lionce.

fails to work, or works disastrOusly. If this is
| protection so be it.
Cd On the contrary, we believe that the
Douglas policy, if it goes to the extent fdeny,
ing such protec tion to property as is guaranteed
by the Constitution, will, if carried cut, divide
the democratic party and the Union also at nc
distant day. We believe that if Douglas sho'd
be run on such platform he would either not
be elected or else would be elected largely by
Republican votes Whether the republicans
would drop Line oln in order to secure the elec.
tion of Douglas, would depend probably, upon
the degree ofconfdence they have in their abil.
ity to elect Lincoln.
(e) Our correspondent has right to speak
for himself in this matter, and possibly for the
Northwest; but not the North. Certainly he
has no better right to speak for the latter than
we have. If we know anything of the senti.
ments OF democrats in this part of the country
they will not 'go over to the Republicans" any
how. They will concede to the South what
the Constitution requires and nothing more
If the Northwestern Democrats are not willing
to concede as much as this, they are en- the road
to republicanism, TO say the least

Bred Scott Plaintiff in Error, VS.
John 4. A. Sanford.
DECISION OF THE COURT.

/. Upon a writ of error to circuit court
the United States the transcript Of the record
of all the proceedings in the case is brought be.
fore this court, and is open to its inspection and
revision.
l. When plea to the jurisdiction, in abato.
ment, is overruled by the Court upon demurrel
and the defendant pleads in har,and upon these
pleas the final Judgment of the Court is in his
favor, if the plaintiff brings a writ of error, The
Judgment OF the court upon the plea in abate
ment is before this conrt, although it was in ia
vor of the plaintiff; and if the court erred IL
ovelruling it, the judgment must be reesrvet
and mandate issued to the circuit court TO dis
miss the case for want Of Jurisdiction.
8. In the circuit court of the United States
the record must show that the case is one il
which, by the Constitution and laws Of the u
nited States, the court had jurisdiction; and i
this does not appear, and the court gives judg-
ment either for plaintiff or defendant, it is error
and the Judgment must be reserved by this
court, and the parties cannot, by consent, waive
the objection to the Jurisdiction Of the circuit
court.
4. A free negro in the African race, whose
ancestors were brought to this country and sold
as slaves, is not "cltizen" within the meaning
of the Constitution of the United States.
5. When the Constitution was adopted they
were not regarded by any of the States as mem
bers OF the community which constituted the
State, and were not numbered among its "peo-
pie or citizens. Consequently the special rights
and immunities guaranteed to citizens do not
apply to them. And not being "ctizens within
the meaning of the Constitution, they are not
entitled to sue in that character in court Of
the United States and the circuit court has not
jurisdiction in such suit.
