A correspondent of the New York News,
writing from Havana, eth, says that man
who was in that city about the middle OF
October last. and who called himself there
Earl de Sterling, made substantially the
same statement about the killing OF Lin
coin and the escape Of Booth that the man
King lately made in Kentucky. He sup
poses that they are the same men-Earl de
Sterling in Havana and Sterling King in
Kentucky. 1t was probably the story of this
Earl de Sterling in Havana that the cor
respondent of a North Carolina paper heard
aud communicated several months ago.

the recent struggle, on the opposite side TO

| espoused We do not question his honesty
whatever our feelings respecting him may
have been four wears ago, IT even one year

do we believe that he has changed his opin-

resistible. The rebels are still prosecuting
the negro, and, therefore, are not entitled to
equal rights in the Union.
This is a sample OF the aliment with which
the Northern mind is fed. How much fair
ness or truth there is in the lesson intended
to he given, a word will show.
The statutes of North Carolina provide
that the punishment for theft shall be whip
ping White and black are punished alike
This has been the law from the days of Gas
ton and Macon, and its enforcement has
made North Carolina one of the most orderly
and law-observing States of the old Union.
There is no penitentiaTy in that State, and
many crimes, which in other States are
punishable by imprisonment, are there
treated more summarily by whipping,
branding, &c The law made no discrimina-
tion against the negro formerly. 1t makes
none now. This correspondent might per
haps. have witnessed the whipping of doz-

The New York World corrects a misrep-
resentation of the Times, that the World has
advised the President TO refuse to enforce
the Civil Rights Act. 1t then proceeds to
say:
The department intrusted by the bill with
the enforcement of its provisions, is not the
Executive but the Judicary-that is to
say, the Judges of the Circuit Courts, the
Judges of the District Courts and the Com
mssioners by them appointed There are
mays" in the bill for the President, but no
must He may empower other persons
than the officers mentioned in the bill to
commence prosecutions and he may" if he
deems necessary, order the Judges to hold
special sessions of their courts ut unusual
places, So far as relates to the President,
there is in the bill nothing man
tory, but only permissive Tie enforce
ment of the Civil Rights law de-
volying upon the Judiciary, il belongs to
the judiciary to determine whether it is
constitutional The President had to act on
1t in deciding whether be would sign il,
and believing it unconstitutional. he right
~ acted ON his own views and sent il back
with his veto. The same power of indepen-
dent Judgment exercised by the Presi@or {,
was also exercised by the two Houses of
Congress, who decided the constitutional
question for themselves according to their
view. The President was not bound by
their Interpretation of the Constitution, nor
they by his nor are the courts byeeithtr
In point of fact, there is no machinery for
the execution ofthe Civil Rights bill 4: nor
can there be any till Congress surrenders its
views, and adopts those of the President.
The execution of the law is committed to the
Judiciary, and the Judiciary system is not
in operation in the excluded States. Why is
jefferson Davis not tried Because Chief
Justice Chase alleges that there are no
United States courts In Virginia competent
to try him The Radical ChiefJustice has
