If the reasoning here he correct. that
the negro oorn in the United States is q
citizen, then the 18th Article and the
laws made under it stands in conflict with
that clause of the Constitution of the
| United States, which declares that, 1.-The
citizens of each State shall be entitled to
all the privileges and immanities of cisi-
zens in the several States. Article ".
See. 2 II follows as matter OF course
I that like all other citizens he may come
into the State and remain in it, subject
like others to its laws, and police regula-
tions. He is entitled to sue in our courts,
and liable TO be sued He can like 9TH
ers claim the benefit of the laws for the
protection Of his person and property.
and enforce his contracts for work and
labor performed. 1t is not conse-
quence, however. that by virtue of the
Constitutional provisions just quoted he
can exercise all political rights enjoyed
by others, such IS the right of suffrage
and of holding office. These rights
must depend upon the legal laws of the
State. Numerous persons. though citi-
zens, can not vote or hold Office, either
on account of age, sex, or want of the
necessary qualifications. The truth is,
that citizenship under the Constitution
of the United States, is not dependent
on the possession of any particular po
litical, or even of all civil rights; and
any attempt to define it must lead
to error What ..civil right" even shall
be enjoyed by its citizens, and whether
all shall enjoy the same, or how they
may be gained or lost, are questions to
be determined in many instances by the
State itself in accordance with its own
views Of the necessities or expediencies
of its condition
Without reference to the Civil Rights
act, shall sustain the demurrer to the
defendants s answer. fully satisfied that
the plaintiff is citizen of the United
States, Independent of the act of Con-
gress on that subject, with the right 20

A Rich Occurrence.

A rich occurrence has recently taken
place in tie city of St. Louis {:
a fancy, fashionable and fast young
married man became euamored Of a gay
and GHt'ering widow, and sought to make
n conqnes, Of her, injurious to her char
acter, outrageous to the wife Of her DO.
som, and Infamous to himself. The in.
tended victim soon saw the drift Of his in,
tentions, and prepared punishment for
his auiacity, not equsled in the days of
the merry Wives Of Windsor" She ap.
paren,iy listened TO the soft persuasions
of his winning voice. aud made an ap-
pointment to receive him at her house IN
the Silly hours Of the night. Heated
like Lothara, with the Tuscan grade 10
s;ea'lhiIy repairetoto the spot. Here,
however, in praise be 1t said, the Justly
indignant lady had prepared for him a
reception different from that Of his dreams.
He was received and taken into q dark,
eaeG paT'or, with flushed whispers, carry.
ing boots in hand. Left for a ,poment
with the lone beatngs Of his heart, the
ro,d'Lg doors wero thrown wide, admit.

crowd Of gentlemen aud ladies, among
whom was the wife whou be thought

been rich in the extreme, though the
bootIess knight remained but a few min
u'es to enjoy it.

4 Married Man sends the wrong
Letter to his Wife.

We understand that a we'll known bu.
siness man in this city, who has wife
and family. has given rise to a good deal
OF talk by his attentions TO a fair aud frail
damset. The gentleman is in New York
and wrote an stfecionate letter 10 the
Object OF his guilty passions, urging her
to join him, and enclosing fifty dollars 10
pay her travelling expenses. At The same
time he wrote loving letter to his wife,
deP'or'ng the urgency Of the business
which iept him away from the bosom Of
bis family, and bewailng the tedousness
and taste'essness Of the hours unenIivened
by her dear presence. BY some odd IA.
ta.lty the letters got mixed, and the wife
got the one intended for the MISTRESS
Sns had scented n rodent for some time,
but now there WAS no room for doubt
Pockeing the fifty dollars as so much
good out Of evil, she placed the fatal let,
ter in the hands OF lawyer, who will
proceed to bring suit for divorce.
