Mail AEflyOu-ln lLImDO-
Disgusting miIcogenntlon- White
Married 10 n Ncgro-Vcssels Arrived
"A Fight with tho Apnches.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 23.-The Mail
steamer Colorado arrived this morning.
Judge Rix, yesterday, sent Sanborn the
broker, to the County Court for trial, on
the charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses.
An application has been made in the
Fourth District Court, for q divorce for a
little white girl IA years Of age, small and
delicate for her years, from a negro aged
60. 1t is alleged by the child's protectors
that the mother who was a widow, mar
ried the negro and lived with him for sew
eral years at a low doggery on CONNER
cial street, and then obtained a divorce
from him for adultery. She then went to
Boston and returned with the child, her
daughter by the first husband, and again
commenced living with the negro. In
August last, they took out q license for
the marriage of the child to the negro, and
went to Arch Bishop Alemany, who re-
fused to perform the ceremony. They
then got a Justice Of the Peace to perform
the ceremony, and the mother locked the
child into a room with the negro, to
whom she had herself been formerly
married.
The child escaped and fed to its friends,
who protected her until this week, when
the negro and the mother attempted to
regain possession of her. She was brought
before Judge Cowles on q writ Of habcaS
corpu, and remanded to the custody of the
friends, but the negro then claimed her as
his wife, and the divorce suit is now
brought to defeat this claim. The details
of the case are shocking and revolving to
the last degree.
The Ajax, from Honolulu, and Steph-
ems, from Mazatlan, each with about forty

A Philadelphia brush gives us this pic
ture: "At the beginning of the war a
modest Lieutenant in a garrison at the ex-
IRENE northwest boundary Of the nation,
on the Columbia river, declared that, if a
chance should be offered him, he would
strive hard to gain a captains commission.
Fate did not at first seem propitious to him.
Until long after the war was in progress
he had no chance to rise, and was still O
lieutenant. But opportunity came at last.
and with great rapidity that young man
rose to be Colonel, Brigadier-G General and
Major General in the regular army. The
whole country delights to honor him for
his daring, science, bravery and patriotism,
and his name is Philip A. Sheridan"

Reconstruction on the Territorial
Plan

Mr.. Broomall, of Pennsylvania, offer
ed the following resolution in the House
of Representatives on the 4th instant:
Resolred, That the Committee on Ter
ritories be instructed to inquire into the
expediency of reporting a bill providing
Territorial Governments for tho sever
al districts of country formerly occupied
by the once existing States of North
Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas
and Texas, AID giving to all adult male
inhabitants, born within the limits of
the United States, or duly naturalized
and not participantsin the ate rebellion,
full equal political rights in such Terri
torial Governments.
The resolution was adopted by vote
of l07 to 81. Not single Democrat
voted for it, and the only Republicans
who voted against it were Baker, Dodge
Hale, Hubbard, West Nirginia1 Kuy-
kendall, Latham, West Virginia. SpaI-
ding and Stillwell. Raymond, who is
neither flesh nor fish, was also among
the nays. This may be taken as plain
foreshadowing of the policy that will be
pursued, in case the Southern States re-
| fuse the offer now held out to them If
| they prefer to be reduced to Territories,
their wish will be gratified, but if they

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents Message il before our
readers. They will find it, as an exhibit
of the working Of the several Executive
Departments during the last year. an in
tercsting, instructive and satisfactory
State paper, while upon the great issue
of Southern reconstruction it reads like
a chapter from 1.-THE World before the
Deluge." Mr.. Johnson dcyotes two
tedious newspaper columns to defence
of his last years measures and general
ideas Of Southern restoration, including
some beautiful extracts from Washing
toms Farewell Address, and from JEFF
fcrson and Jackson, in support Of his
theory of State rights and the power of
Congress, and then he drops the subject.
1t is All argument TO the court after the
jury has rendered their verdict. 1t NAV
be compared TO history Of France,
emitting the revolution which over
threw the Bourbons-as a trivial matter
not worth mentioning in pIeadin. their
claims to the throne.
1t is indeed remarkable that after de-
liberately submitting his Southern poll
cy against the plan Of Congress to the
people in the late elections, the President
should not have word to say of the will
of the people, as made manifest in these
elections, He talks of 1.-THE ancient
landmarks" as if none of them had been
swept away by the late Southern deluge
Of fire and blood, rs if the war had
changed nothing, and MS IL the recent
elections had decided nothing. In q
word, Mr.. johnson forgets that we have
passed through the fiery ordeal of q
mighty revolution, and that the pre-ex-
listing order Of things is gone and can re-
turn no more--that a great work Of re-
construction is before us, and we cannot
escape it.-N. Y. Herald.

Colorado Jewett, always ingenious,
memorializes Congress to declare Han
nibal Hamlin President of the United
States. He argues that the second cleo
ton of Mr.. Lincoln was not constitution
al, as eleven of the States did not appoint
electors, and that Mr.. Hamlin holds over
as Mr.. Lincoln would have done, In the
absence of legal successor. We infer
from this argument that Mr.. Jewett
withdraws his support from Andrew
johnson.
We have full confirmation Of the re-
port, published several days ago, and
subsequently denied, that General Sedg-
wick, with detachment of United
States troops, crossed the Rio Grande on
the 18th ultimo, and took possession of
Matamoras. It appears that General
Escobedo, with force of Liberals, was
about to attack the city, which was
held by the Imperial General Canales.
General Sedgwick's object was to pro-
tect the interests of American citizens
there. Subsequently, he withdrew to
the other side of the river. Escobedo
made the the attack on Canales, and was
defeated. Afterwards however, it APP
pears that he and Canales met for consul
tation, and Escobedo is now in possess
ion of the town. The United States
troops took no part in the fight, al
though EscobedO asserts that he was EN-
barrassed by their presence, and thus ex-
plains his befeat.
