The Ncwland- Evans case, which is now
on trial in Bedford, Ind, will afford an op-
portunity of testing the value in another
State of the Illinois doctrine that man
who commits an unlawful act is to be pre-
sumed mad until his sanity is proved. DR..
Newland Of Bedford, placed his daughter,
between fourteen and fifteen years of age,
under the educational charge of Professor
Evans, a teacher and preacher. Evans
took advantage of his position to ruin the
girl, and continued his relations with her
until she gave prospect of becoming a
mother. The fact was brought to the faith
er's knowledge by his being sent for to
take his daughter away from the school to
which she had recently been sent, and then
she confessed all, stating that Evans, who
is married man, refused to do anything
for her. Ncwland Immediately took an
amputating knife and pistol, went to the
house of Prof Evans, but not finding him
started down the road to meet him. The
two met, when Newland charged Evans
with the seduction of his daughter, and
Immediately shot and stabbed him to death,
after which he went to drug store, in a
state of great excitement, an gave himself
up to the officers. The counsel for the de-
Tense .intimates that he shall rely on the
plea of temporary insanity brought on by
the discovery of his dreadful wrong, and
that he shall not consider it necessary to
support that plea with testimony, the bur-
den of proof as to the sanity of the accus-
ed laying on the prosecution. The result
of such line of defense will be matter
of some interest.

SLAVERY IN MAssAcHUsETTs.-Moor
"Notes on the History of Slavery in Mas.
sachusetts," just published by the Apple
toms, is an interesting and timely work.
1t appears from unimpeachable data that
of all the stringent slave codes that have
existed in this country, that of the com
monwealth which claimed two hundred
years ago, Us it claims now, to be a moral
prodigy, was the most arbitrary, goddess,
ana cruel. But this is not all. Mr.. Moore
shows that the laws establishing slavery
in Massachusetts were never formally re-
pealed, and that it only ceased to exist
there by reason of the dying out or remov-
al Of the negroes It seems, therefore,
that the commonwealth was in point OF
law a slave state until 1866, when the con-
stitutional amendment terminated slavery
forever within the limits of the United
States

CURES FOR THE CHoLERA.-There are al
ready as many cures in market for cholera
as there arc remedies for shattered constitu-
tions, decoctions to restore hyperian curls
to bald heads, or onguents to produce lux
uriant mustaches on the yet smooth lip of
ambitious adolescence. Some are publish
ed with all the ingredients described, and
others are yelled in mystery; but there are
SO many Of them that the disease will not
have ghost Of chance to escape so ma
ny infallible antidotes. If the apprehen-
sive only use these remedies freely, they
will very probably escape the cholera, as
the individual relieved himself of corn
on his toe by cutting off his leg. Some of
the remedies proposed would corrode the
internal viscera of rhinoceros. The best
remedy for the disease is; to Observe the
laws of health and drink light and often; to
keep the commandments, read the NORTH
Iowa TINES, and thereby cultivate a happy
and salubrious condition of mind and body;
and, with a light heart, clear conscience,
and thin pair of breeches, bid defiance to
the cholera, the dog star, and the materia
medica.

The LONG WISHED FOR HoUR.''-IIead
Directress Johannah OShea, of the Feni-
an Sisterhood, has issued san appeal to the
women of Ireland and America She
states that "the long wished-for hour has
come," and that she wants bandages, spon-
ges, corn-starch, dressing-gowns, arrow
root, wash-basins, farina, bed-gowns, and
other sundries, for the Fenian armies.-
The lady is evidently in earnest, and we
honor her patriotic enthusiasm. But is
she not mistaken about the wished-for
hour having arrived The Fenian re-
cruits, who went to the Canada line with
the full belief that they were destined to
cross it sword in hand and carry all before
them, are returning woe-begone and dis
gusted, and General Meade, satisfied that
the British provinces will not be ''ovcr-
rum at present, has quilted the field with
his corps of observation. Great enterpris-
es have often been accomplished throug Oh a
fortunate conjunction of "the hour and
man." With Fenianism the hour seems
to have past, while the man has not yet
arrived.

The HAIR.-Stiff hair is sometimes the
sign of obstinacy, sleek locks denote pa
thence, curly head is always accompani-
ed by wit and love of pleasure. Bald
ness is the sign of an active mind, unless
the bald man brush his back hair forward
TO cover the front this is the mark of a
mean and vulgar spirit, or, which is still
worse, unquestionably, be classed among
the snobs. Premature gray hair denotes
misanthropy, continued suffering, whether
physical or moral, excessive labor or dissi-
patton. With regard to those abundant
locks which time is powerless to bleach,
they are the badge of an even disposition,
and of q mediocre intellect.

A RAr.-The London Morning Herald,
Of April %, says Yesterday an inquest
was held at Stratford on view of the body
Of Charles Leader, groom, aged twenty
two. Last Tuesday a number of rats were
being killed in stable, and deceased seiz-
cd one of them by the tail, upon which the
animal turned round and bit him in the
thumb. The wound bled very much, but
no danger was apprehended. On the fol-
lowing Thursday, Inflammation took place,
which constantly increased till his death.
The medical evidence attributed the death
to the bite of rat, and the jury returned
verdict accordingly.

BURNHAM WARDwELL IN PERIL.-Thc

BURNHAM WARDwELL IN PERIL.-Ihc
New York Tribune Of Monday says:
"Letters from Richmond state that
Durham Wardell, known as the 'coaly
ice man. lives in daily expectation OF as
sassination. His crime was addressing the
freedmen of that city on the 4th of July
last. General Terry's removal is the DEATH
knell of Unionists there"
The "coaly ice man" is q new sobri-
quot for "BURHAM WARDELL," as the
Tribune writes his name. We would in
form Mr.. GREELEY that BrRNHAM is in no
danger whatever; that he has made speeches
to the negroes since the 4th of July with
out running any risk that he has received
substantial tokens of friendship from his
northern admirers which make him more
reliable Radical than ever that he has no
objections to remaining in Richmond and
receiving weekly cargo of ice as q pre-
sent from the Radicals, who will, we hope,
send few thousand dollars to him to be
spent in Richmond. We are so poor here
that we are pleased TO see llUNNIcuTT, or
WARDwEI.L, or anybody else drawing hither
I" cool cash " to be distributed amongst us.

GoDEY's LADY's BOoK.-Well, old Go
pEY-poor old GoDEY-in which we never
could find any intercst-no more than we
could in almost all the rest Of the monthly
trash gotten up at the North for the ladies'
is before us. The present number Is TOR
September. So far Us the mere matter OF
keeping ahead of time is concerned, Cooley
is equal to any of the class. But if rivalry
in first appearance continues, we appre-
bend that some of them will soon make
their appearance year ahead. We mean
not to disparage Cooley. 1t is as good as
anv, and as bad as any save the publica-
tons of the HARPIEs, which, in diablfrie, is
without competition. We would not pay
the postage on any of them for them. But
our taste is not the guide for other people.
Some people pore over the "monthly
trash" with very great devotion. The Ia
dies must have them for the fashions. We
have always thought our countrywomen
were too intelligent to prize them for any
thing else. All who want these works will
be readily supplied by the entcrprislng
firm of COLE s. TURNER, Governor street,
and L. L. SMITH, Broad street.

The lIarrsonburg Union says that if VIC
had been Gas smart" as we considered
ourselves to be, we would have known that
his remarks concerning the nccdle-gun
were intended to be witty, and not in
formatory. We really beg pardon: and as
some of our readers may possibly have
been misled by our dullness, we repro
duce the paragraph that they may see the
wit it contains. Here it is:
"The cry of 'needle-gun' frightened
more Austrians than the guns themselves
did. The idea of needle piercing ones
gizzard was by no means pleasant sensa-
ton, and the more the Austrian thought
about it, the more apt he was to fancy
himself all stuck through with needles.
In his Imagination, his back was already
rougher with them than porcupine with
quilts"
We thought it was ga camel" but in
truth lit is very like a whale" If the
reader splits his sides with laughter at this
inimitable morceau of humor, the Union
must pay all damages.

Is WEST VIRGINIA A STATE IN THE
UNION 1.-THE National Republican Of yes
terday, while discussing another point,
furnishes pretty good evidence that Con
gress did not consider West Virginia a
State when her representatives were ad-
mitted to seats. That paper quotes from
Judge CoLLAMER's speech an extract
which put the question aside as one not to
be discussed in Congress at that time.
Judge CoLLAMER added:
"Whether course of proceedings might
be instituted among us to call on our Ex-
ecutive to know whether he did this right
fully or not, is altogether different affair.
They are de facto the Government recognized
byus. We haue no more to do soith hat"
Now, let us try the question as to
whether that Government was de J,.re the
Government of Virginia. tits not too late.

General Schofeld.

A very good joke was played on on ue-
neral ScHoFlELD in yesterday mornings
Dispatch by the local reporter. we arc
sure, if all accounts be true as TO the even
temper and generous impulses of the new
commander of this district, that he must
have enjoyed it as much as ourselves. ln'
reporter assures the public that MaJo'.u'-
neral ScHorlEID "comcs among us Will !"
oood reputation -: and this assurance, IL
NAV be readily imagined, relieves all ap-
,rchonsion Of any interruption of the mill
tarv reign here by any demand upon the
Governor under the cxtradition laws for
the person of the General to answer CON-
plaints elsewhere. This is certainly con-
soling, since the people were inclined to
expect an agreeable time with our new
General
Surprising that the General enjoyed the
joke, and inferring that the reporter meant
to say that all generals have not "good
regulations" we may lclicitatc the public
and General SCHOFIELD upon the very
much more agreeable relations existing at
this time between the citizens and the
commander here than formerly. We are
assured that, personally, there is no bar to
the most amicablc relations with the pre-
sent commander; but apart from that, the
more complete restoration of the civil au-
thorty, and the relief of the people from
the idea that the military eye was always
upon them, and its iron hand ready, with
out warning, to drag them before the tribu-
nal of force, naturally diminish the re-
straint and modify the aversions which the
former relations between the citizens and
the local military power were so well cal
culated to cngcnder. The late commander,
although man of honor, we bellcVe was
one of strong prciudiccs and decided po-
l;t;cal oninions that were not well calcu-
lated to quiet apprchensions and soothe
sectional animositics. His residence here
was therefore not cnlivencd by any
concenal intercourse with the people.
Their dcmeanor to him was one Of cold
respectively cold; while his towards them
was as stiff and reserved as military cti-
uuette would allow or social convention
alitics could excuse. Still nobody wishes
General TERRY harm-nay, all would
rather hear that one who lived so long and
50 reserved amongst them was at least
comfortable elsewhere.
The changed feelings growing out of
the changed condition of political matters,
added to the differences of dispositions
and principles between the new COM
mandcr and the old, promise very agree
able intercourse between the people and
Major General SCHOrEID.
We all know how much anxiety this COM
Inunity has suffered at different periods
within the last twelve months, and how
much the peace Of the city has been i'm
pcrllcd by the occurrences here, which
were attributable in part to the views OF
the commander, and part to the state OF
feeling which existed between that officer
and the public: we might say, rather, the
,rapt Of feelin3-of sympathy-bctwcen
them. We may well hail the new au-
thority, promising as it does much more
satisfaction and so much more security.

Forney Ex,1Ounds Prophecy.

In Il speech made few days since in
Pennsylvania, JOHN W. FoRNEY quoted the
following prophecy as applicable to An
DREW JOHNSON:
DANIEL, VIII. CHAPTER, 90, q, % VERSES.
"And in the latter time of their king
dom, when the tranSgrcSSors are come TO
the full, king OF fierce countcnancc, and
understanding dark sentences, shall stand
up.
"And his power shall I've mighty, but not
b. his own power; and me Shall destroy
wonderfully, and shall prosper, and prac-
ticc, and shall destroy the mighty and the
holy people.
And through his policy also he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he
Shall magnify himself in his heart, and by
peace shall destroy many; he shall also
stand up against the Prince of princes, but
lie shall be broken without hand"
FoRNEY declared that he cited this as an
"inspircd comment and rcbukc upon
JonSsoN's hypocrisy and pcrtidy;" that he
questioned whether it was ever more APP
positcly applied; and that there ais q
luxurious accuracy in the phrases, and a
"Still more striking fidelity in the pre-
"dicted end Of wicked tyrant's reign"
Accepting FoRNEY's exposition, and
reading this prophecy as applicable to the
President, it is evident that the Radicals
are the guilty parties mentioned in the
first verse quotcd-namcly, "thc trans
grcssors" who care come to the full"
The second affords but poor consolation to
the Radicals as the opponents Of the ety.
rant" for it is declared that she shall
prosper" and "shall destroy the mighty
and the holy people" The final declara-
tion that abe shall be broken without
hand," refers to contest in which neither
Radicals nor Conservatives can, rs aparty,
take any part. Before this last contest
with the "Prince of princes" it is evil
dent that "thc tyrant is to prosper and
to prove victor over all such "transgrcS
sors who arc come to the full" as FoKNEY,
STEVENS, and their coadjutors.
