A Case Under the Civil Rights Law
Already.

A Case Under the Civil Rights Law
Already
The principles of the Civil Rights Bill
are involved in a case at Lafayette, Ind
On Tuesday a colored man named Barnes
brought suit before a Justice, against q
white man, to compel him to enforce q
contract. The defendant for answer set
up that the plaintiff came into the State
in violation of the thirteenth section OF
its Constitution, which forbids the immi-
grafton of negroes. The plaintiff demurred
to the answer, maintaining that the article
was void, because it was in conflict with
the letter and spirit of the United States
Constitution, with the constitutional
amendment, and was void under the first
section of the Civil Rights bill, which
gives to all persons born in the United
States full right to make and enforce con
tracts, any law, statute, ordinance, reguls-
ton or custom to the contrary notwlth-
standing. The court sustained the de-
murrer, and the defendant appealed to the
Circuit Court, which is now in session.

THE IMPENDING WAR IN GER.
MANY.
The Austrian Armaments-A Panic Is
Trade.

Count Won Bismarck's organ, the Nord-
dsutsehe AUgemsiHs Zeitung of Berlin,
says;
at is evident from what is already
known as TO the Austrian ornaments, that
three army corps are in process of forma-
ton, and are respectively stationed at
Cracow, in Austrian Silesia, and in Bo-
hernia. The city of Cracow is to be forti-
fed and armed with all possible despatch,
and is to serve as the central point of the
first corps. The railway from Cracow
to Myslowitz, and the line of the Vistula
up to the Prussian frontier, support this
object. The troops hitherto in Ora
cow have been mostly sent on to
Bohemia, and are being replaced by
forces from Gallicia. The Second Corps,
now assembling in Austrian Silesis, has a
definite strategic direction in the Oder
and the railway from Weiskirchen to
Qderberg, and is covered on the flank BY
the Cracow corps. The towns in these
parts are being garrisoned. The third
corps is gathering in Bohemia, and seems
especially strong In the department of ar
t~illery," whence the Norddutsehe con-
cludes that "the Bohemian army, which
is filed up by furlough-men from other
parts Of the country, is intended to act
upon the defensive, while the corps at
Cracow and in Austrian Silesia have pro-
badly an offensive mission"
"Furlough and six years. reserve men
are called in. Blelitz, Biala, Teschen and
other places hitherto u~noooupied, are re-
ceiving garrisons. The military in the rail-
way trains are almost exclusively reserve
men. Horse dealers are quietly buying up
horses. Prussian customs officials station
ed, according to treaty, upon the Austrian
frontier, have been abused as " Prussian
dogs" by soldiers passing through. The
supervision of travellers going to Prussia
and Russia is now exceedingly strict"
General Benedek has been appointed
the Austrian commandments.
The money article of the London Times
of March 27th says:
"The advices from Frankfort state
that the bourse was much agitated dur
ing the whole of the past week from the
warlike rumors and the ornaments in
Austria and Prussia. Austrian stocks
and Vienna currency went down five per
cent, and even American bonds remained
fiat, notwithstanding the fall in the gold
premium at New York. 1t was not until
Friday, when the Prussian government
journals began to alter their high Ian
guage, and when the France announced
that the French government had told
Count Goltz that the Schleswig Holstein
question could be settled only BY a con-
ference of the great powers, that a better
feeling grew up and prices partially re-
covered. Nobody, it is said, believed in
ultimate war, but it was apprehended
Count Bismarck would continue to
play his desperate game quite long enough
cripple trade and commerce, and to
capitalists Business is already
much impeded and commercial travellers
send no orders"
It is rumored that in the event of war,
Italy will strike foF the recovery of
Venice.

What Andrew johnson Said About
Traitors and Treason n Year Ago
T0-Day.

On Monday, April nth, 1855, precisely
one year ago to-day, Andrew johnson,
forty-eight hours before insugurated as
President, addressed q delegation of In
dianians as follows:
ain what 1 say on this occasion l shall
indulge in no petty spirit of anger, no
feeling Of revenge. But we have beheld
a notable event in the history of mankind.
In the midst of the American people,
where every citizen is taught to obey
law and observe the rules of
Christian conduct, our Chief Mag
~istrate, the beloved of all hearts, has been
assassinated; and when we trace this crime
to its cause, when we remember the source
whence the assassin drew his inspiration,
and then look a. the result, we stand yet
more astounded at this most barbsrous,
most diabolicsl assassination. Such q
crime as the murder of a great and good
man, honored and revered, the beloved
and the hope of the people, springs not
alone from a solitary Individual of ever
so desperate wickedness. We can trace its
cause through successive steps, SoithOEt my
e~numerating them here. back to that source

one can say that # thsperPetratOr Of this
tiendish deed be arrested he should not EH-
dergo the ertrenest penalty the latv knol0s
for crime; none I0iH say that mercy should
interposs. BUT Is HE LON GUILTY?
Here, gentlemen, you perhaps erpect me TO
present some indication ofny future policy.
One thing 1 will say. Every era teaches
its lesson. The times we live in are
not without instruction. The An1eTi-
can people must Be taught-J they
do not already feeL-THAT TREASON
Is A CRIME AND MUST BE PUNISHED !;
that the Government will not always bear
with its enemies, that it is strong not only
to protect, but to punish. When we turn
to the criminal code and examinethe cata-
logue of crimes, we there find arson laid
down as q crime, with its appropriate pen
atty; WE FIND THERETHEFT AND
ROBBERY AND MURDER GIVEN
AS GRIMES; AND THERE, TOO, WE
FIND THE LAST AND HIGHEST OF
CRIMES-TREASON. With other and
inferior offences our people are fami-
liar; but in our peaceful history
treason has been almost unknown. TIE
people must understand that it is the black
est q eF'HteSI ana OHt 0e surrey PHHlShsd.
l make this ~allusion not TO excite the al
ready exasperatsd feelings of the public,
but to point out the principles of public
justice which should guide our action at
this particular juncture, and which ac-
cords with sound public morals. Let it BE- on
grapen on every heart that treason is a
crime, and traitors shall suffer its penalty.
While We are appalled,, overwhelmed, at
the fall of one man in our midst by the
hand of q traitor, shall we allow men
l care not by what weapons-to attempt
the life of the State, with impunity ?
WHILE We STRAIN III MINDS tt CON-

To BE AssAssINATED2

The Tunistan Embassy Take Home a
Good RepOrf.

The Tunisian Embassy arrived in theil
own country, safely, and told fine thing:
of their "American cousins" The fol.
lowing is an extract of q letter written
from Tunis and printed in the official
Journal of the Ottaman empire, pub.
lished at Constantinople. After speaking
at length of the visit of the Tunisisns to
America, the letter says:
1.-THE proof of the remarkable vigor Of
the United States is that in less than four
years they have armed six hundred YES
sells, and although when the dissensions
began they had only twenty-five thous-
and soldiers, andthose merely for the pres
ervation of order in the cities, the other
powers, which never dreamed of their
strength, saw them set IN foot a million
OF heroes While beholding the exploits
ofthese brave men, every one was forced
to recognize the virtues Of the nation, and
its detractors were sileneed. Its enlight-
ened and exalted sentiments led If to free
millions of black slaves, at the very time
when other States were crushing free men
beneath the weight of oppression. If we
examine its civilization, we see that it sur
passes all European States in industry,
commerce, productions, science, the arts,
and IN the rapid growth of towns and
cities. 1t has as many miles of telegraphs
and railroads, and As many printing es-
adjustments as all Europe. Let readers
judge of the rest by those facts. We
ought to be thankful to God that he has
permitted the Mussulman States to find
the United States q sincere friend. A free
interchange Of sentiments with that ma
ton must result in establishing permanent
relations between them and u.s.

Daniel Webster to Daniel 8. Diclxin-

The death of Mr.. Dickinson has caused
the republication of the following letter
which he received from Daniel Webster
on retiring from the United States Senate /:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 81, 1850.
MI DEAR SIR-Our compsnionship in
and most important session you are about
to return to your home, and l shall try to
find leisure TO visit mine. Hope we may
meet each other again two months hence,
for the discharge of our duties in our re-
spective stations in the government. But
life is uncertain, and 1 have not felt will
ing to take leave of you without placing
in your hands a note containing a few
words which | wish to say to you.
In the earlier part of our acquaintance,
my dear sir, occurrences took place which
I remember with constantly increasing
regret and pain, because the more 1 have
known you the greater have been my
esteem for your character and my respect
for your talents. But it is your noble,
able, manly and patriotic conduct in sup
port of the great measures of this session
which has entirely Eon my heart and re-
ceived my highest regard. 1 hope you
may live long to serve your country; but
1 do not think you are ever likely to see
a crisis in which you may be able to do so
much either for your distinction or for
like public good. You have stood where
Others have fallen; you have advanced
with firm and manly step where others
have wavered, fsltered and fallen back /;
and for one, I desire to thank you and to
commend your conduct out of the fullness
Of an honest heart.
This letter needs no reply. It is, 1 Am
aware, of very little value but / have
thought you might be willing to receive it,
and, perhaps to leave it where it would be
seen by those who shall come after Won.
Ipray you, when you reach your own
threshold, to remember me most kindly to
your wife and daughter; and / remain,
my dear sir, with the truest esteem, your
friend and ohedient servant
DANIEL WEBSTER.

The Raleigh IN. c. Standard edited
by ex-GOv. Holden, says that the Presi-
dents policy in North Carolina is a per-
feet failure; that ultra secessionists now
fill every Office ia the State, from the
highest to the lowest and that the seces-
sion leaders are determined that Union
men shall never govern the State. Itadds;
"The course of restoration has been sud
denly arrested. The State has been set
back to the point it occupied when the
work began, and no one can foresee when
the work will be completed. The gene
rosity of the President has been trifed
with, and the good he intended to do this
people has been n~eutrAlized by these lead
ers, who have been actuated solely by the
owe Of money and office"

wrong, for when an insect has once at.
tained its winged state, it grows no more.
All the growing and most of the eating
is done in its previous state of ife-in-
