! neglected to note an important event
which transpired on Saturday, and that was
the capture Of small shark, about two feet
long. There were many OF them swimming
around the wreck, and the Captain tried to
catch one for two hours, by throwing out
piece Of red flannel fastened around some
sharp nails that he had driven into small
piece of wood, A large shark would have
caught at similar bait, but the small ones
did not fancy It.. Young Morse tried in
another way and succeeded. He laid down

and IS one OF the fish came within his reach,
he catched 1t with a desperate effort md

and each man had piece Of 1t about two
Inches square.
The Captain thought that this was as much
as they should eat at once, and strange To say
no onc demanded more. The next morning
they had each another piece. Before night
the remainder began to turn green and Shiny
and it was thrown away.
Ttis, with the exception of small flying

The recent decision Of Judge Nelson, az.
soclate justice OF the supreme court, In The
case OF Egsn, is of interest aside from its
condemnation of the trial Of civilians by
military courts. 1t will be remembered that
Egan was tried by military court and sen.
fenced to several years Imprisonment 10 tho
penitentiary at Albany, N. Y, for having
killed negro in self defence. The ALLEGED
offence was committed in South Carolina,
where Egan was tried, and the sentence OF
the court was approved by General Sckles.
Judge Nelson said:
Long previous to this Uhe time Of Egau's
trial provisional governor had been ap-
pointed by the president, who is commander.
n'chiet OF the army and navy Of the United
States, (nnder whose will, under martial law
constituted the only rule of action,) for the
special purpose of changing the existing
state OF things, and restoring civil govern.
ment over the people, In pursuance of this
appointment, now constitution had been
formed, governor and legislature elected
under it, and the state, in the full enjoyment,
or entitled to the full enjoyment Of all her
constitutional rights and privileges. The
constitution and laws Of the union were
thereby acknowledged and obeyed, and were
as authoritative and binding over The peo.
pie of the State as in any other portion Of
the country. Indeed, the moment the re.
bellion was suppressed and the government
growing out of it subverted, the ancient posi-
session, authority and laws resumed their
accustomed sway, subject only to the new
reorganization or the appointment of the
proper officers to give them operation and
effect"
There could not be more plain and pos.
tive assertion Of the validity Of the existing
state governments Of the south, and of ths
right Of the southern people TO the full en-.
joyment Of all the privileges attaching to cit
lzeus of States under the constitution. He
would hardly have been so explicit. If he had
not been confident of the purpose Of the su'
preme court to protect the rights of the
south whenever they we're brought before il
for adjudication. How does this decision
harmonic with radical theoriess
