New Jersey Senatorial Question.

AhhiNiON, ". a., ApTll ..
This morning the resolution to 20 into
Joint meeting with the House of the Gene
raj Assembly, to elect United states Sena-
tor again came up in the New Jersey SEN
ate.
Senator Scoyel addressed the Senate at
length. declaring that he could not sur
render his position without dishonor and
that he would adhere to 1t to the end. IN 7
vote to go into joint meeting was ta-
ken, and lost by ten to nine.
Two Senators were absent who would
have voted against the resolution. When
the result was announced there were hisses
IN the lobby, and the greatest excitement
prevailed. Senator Scovel in his speecb
was particularly severe upon Mr.. Catteil
and Robinson, of Camden, denouncinR
them as having dourished and grown rich
upon the sufferlngs of the people in the
recent civil war. He offered To vote for
any man who entertained the views he did
He was not urging his own election. He
ala not want the position himself but he
never could and never would submit to the
dictates Of any party clique.

ESCAPE FROM A GREAT CALAMTTY.-Al-
luding to the Opera House conflagration at
Cincinnati, the Times remarked the other
day that perhaps no flames ever spread
more rapidly, and but from five to seven
minutes were allowed for the audience to
escape. A full house could not have been
cleared short of twenty minutes, and to
think of the disaster had the fire broken out
half an hour earlier, is appalling. A panic
would have closed up the only place of exit
with PROSTATE and crushed men and
women. and not fourth part of the peo-
pie could have escaped destruction. 1t was,
indeed, a narrow escape from fiery slaugh-
ter that would not have been second to that
of the Chilian cathedral.

Mr.. G. G. CLAY.--The intelligence of the en-
largement of the prison bounds of this gentleman
on his parole will be hailed with the most lively
satisfaction by his numerous friends, as being the
probable prelude to his discharge from custody.
To those who know Mr.. Clay personally, few
incidents connected with the close Of the war
elected more surprise than the arrest of this gen
tleman on the charge of having aided or nstigated
the plot for the assassination of the late President
Lincoln Had we been called upon to select from
our acquaintance among the prominent men of the
South a man who, above all Others would be inca
pable of such crime, we think it most probable
that Mr. Clay would have been that man. Possess
ing as he does, SO high a sense of honor, as to be
deemed by many of his friends fastidiously par
ticular in all questions affecting his religion, his
integrity, of his morals, he is the last man who
would have connived at much less concocted, SC
dreadful a crime.
Both Mr.. Clay and his friends court the strlctes
scrutiny into, and the most searching investigator
the charge alleged and only ask that snreH h
whole wear would suffice to collect evidence tt
SUSTAIN the CHARGE did such evidence exist an.
} declare that he Should no longer be submitted t.

A LEGAL DEc1sIoN.-Judge Lewis, in the
Natchitoches district, has decided that the pur-
chaser of slave on the ed December, 1868, is
bound to pay the note which he executed for the
purchase money. The decision is published in fu
in the Natchitoches Times, and we extract the
concluding portion of it:
The proclamation of President Lincoln, declar-
ing the slaves free the LIST of January, 1863 did
not and could not have the effect of emancipatng
the slaves in districts not then within the Federal
lines. Indeed, Mr. Lincoln himself did not believe
| that he had power under the Constitution to eman
cipate them, but claimed the right to do so purely
as means Of prosecuting the war then in pro
gress as a "war measure" The slaves have
| been emancipated since that proclamation was is
sued not by the proclamation, but by an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
adopted by the States in conformity with the pro
visions of the Constitution.
The rights of the parties must be governed by
the laws in force at the time of the contract. Al
that time Abraham was slave, and the detendan
is bound for the price.
