Court, London, Apra
17-Betore the Right Honorable DR.. L,tSt'ing-
ton.-The Gibraltar, otherwise Suntr.-
This was suit on behalf Of the Govern
ment of the United States of America, as
plaintiffs, to obtain possession of this veS-
sci. The vessel had been purchased in the
wear 1861 by the then Government of the
Confederate States of America, and, hav-
ing been armed and otherwise equipped,
proceeded to sea, and cruised in the West
Indies and elsewhere, and captured divers
vessels belonging to subjects of the United
States. In the month of January, 1862,
she put into the port of Gibraltar, where
she was sold to Melchoir George klingen-
der, who subsequently employed her in
running the blockade, in which service she
continued until the close of the war, when,
having put into Liverpool, she was arrest
ed in this suit. No appearance had been
entered on behalf OF any person as owner
to dispute the right of the plaintiffs, and
the usual notices having been given, the
Court was now moved to decree. possession
of her to the plaintiffs.
The Court decreed possession as moved.
The Beatrice, other,oise Rappdhannock.--
The Court, because the motion was resist
ed, declined to decree possession in this
case for the present.

StauntOn Union Men.

In the Senate, Tuesday, Mr.. TRuMBrLL
presented the petition of one hundred and
twenty loyal citizens of Staunton, Virginia,
that the troops have recently
been withdrawn from that place, that Union
men are being prosecuted by rebels, and
praying the return of the troops for the
protection of loyal men. The Staunton
people deridcd Yankee teacher for walk
ing the street side by side with negro
girl, not long since. We have heard of no
other instance of persecution Of Union peo-
pie in that respectable town.

The African MetlOdistS.

Those who regard the Northern Mctho-
dist Church as peculiarly a negro-loving
denomination will be surprised to learn
that the African MethodiSts declare Off
cially as follows:
/" "ReSolUed, That we have received no
intimaton from any body of the Metho-
dist family which leads us to suppose that
they wish us to unite with them but by
the sacrifice Of our manhood, our ecclcSi-
aStical status, and otherwise to degrade
ourselves, and this is cvinccd by the for
nation of several conferences by the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church, whose ostensiblc
object is TO foster the same old principle of
prejudice and hate which drove us, fifty
years ago, from their Church."
These Northern MethodiSts are con-
siStcnt set. While traducing Southern
Methodists, they are as far from recogni-
zing negroes as equals as the latter Church.
Outyupon such hypocracy!

Judge FOwIe--The HRbeas Corpus
Major Gee-The Effect OF the PrOcla.

We are pleased to learn that the fearless
Judge Fowle has paid no attention to the
order sent to him in regard to the, Presi-
dents intentions in issuing his proclama-
tion. We learn from the Raleigh Sentinel
that the Judge dccided-what we have. re-
pcatcdly declared to be the fact--that the
" declaration of the Presidents intention
that the proclamation should not interfere
with military commissions at that time or
previously organized could have no effect
upon judicial Interpretation of its Ian
guagc and scope. The insurrection being
declared at an end, the legal consequence
also follows that the President has no au-
thority to declare that military commits
sions may in certain, or in any, cases con-
timc to exercise jurisdiction as if a state
of insurrection still existed"
All honor to Judge Fowle. He cannot
enforce his Judgment, but he can main
tain the independence of the Judiciary.

MAYORS COURT.-The prisoners benches
in the Mayors Court room were nearly
empty yesterday-one solitary son of At
rca occupying q seat. This unfortunate
one was, with one exception, the only de-
linquent brought before His Honor on a
criminal charge. There was one case OF
violation of city ordinance. The hour
for the proceedings arrived, and the Mayor
entered the almost empty court-room.-
Counsellor George Dabney Wootten, Esq,
the sole occupant of the bar, and he, hope
less of obtaining a client, soon departed in
disgust. The Mayor, his clerk, two police
men, and q couple of reporters, who sat
sharpening their pencils in blank despair
and looking "what shall we do for q
local ?'' were the other occupants of the
courtroom. His Honor, with his usual
thoughtfulness, seeing the condition of
things, turned towards the reporters and
said to them: Gentlemen, as you will
likely be short of matter for your columns
tomorrow, will give you something to
help you out. | want you to give notice
that | intend to forfeit every PERSONS re-
cognizance who does not appear here at
the specified time. My court meets at 9
o'clock, and every person on bail must be
here at that time" We are obliged to
His Honor for this much, and will with plea
sure give the requested notice. We do it
thusly:
"Be it known to all persons caught by the
police of the city of Richmond, of all con-
ditiOns, sizes or ages, whether they be rich
or poor, large or small, big or little, white
or black, male or female, that it is the in
tention of His Honor Joseph Mayo, Mayor
of the aforesaid city of Richmond, to for
felt their bail bonds, yet upon condition
that they do not appear before him on sIch
day as they bind themselves, at 9 o'clock,
A. NJ. that is, in the morning, or at morn
ing, which is all the same thing. All this
without regard to the offence committed,
whether it be stealing, getting drunk, fight
ing, or any such like pastime. Further
more, for nOn-appearance no excuse will
be considered valid except where the per-
son bailed shows good evidence that he
has died, in which case Il post mOrtem eX-
animation will be held"
1t is to be hoped that this announcement
will bring all persons in future to asense of
the Importance of appearing at the tribunal
ofjustice punctually when they have bound
themselves TO do so.
His Honor, after requesting us to make
the above announcement, took his seat
and commenced business. One by one
the other reporters stroled in, and as each
one looked around, his countenance grew
blank. One of them remarked: Good
Heavens! Is the millennium coming ?"
Perhaps it is. The Mayor disposed of the
following cases in short order:
The case of Rodolph Lehman, charged
with assaulting Robert Carter, was con-
tinucd from Tuesday. He was required
to give security in the sum OF two hundred
dollars for his future good behavior.
Henry WoodSon, negro, was charged
with stealing boat from Rebecca Wood
son. The evidence in the case showed
that the matter was nothing more than a
discussion as to the right of property ;
whcreupon His Honor referred it to the
Freedmen's Court.

who, it seems, had at the last meeting been

His appearance was greeted with applause.
He said he had done no more for the
Southern Confederacy than any other man
would have done for the section in which
he was born. Wonder how DR.. Reeves

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD AT HoLLYH oop

THE CoyrEpERATE DEAD AT HoLLYw ooD
CEMETERY. ladies Of Church and
Union Hills have already organized an as
socation for the purpose Of preserving and
perpetuating the memory of the Confede-
rate dead inferred at lakewood Cemetery.
A constitution and bylaws have been
adopted, and the programme for the pro-
posed commemoration unanimously ac-
cepted. At Hollywood lie thousands of
those gallant soldiers who, whether in battle
or by disease, equally offered up their lives
in defence OF their State and surely there
must have been some dilatoriness and care
lessness amongst us, or the ladies of Church
and Union Hills would not have been so
far in advance of those whose personal in
terests and saddest thoughts are most
closly identified with the picturesque
scenes of Hollywood.
A meeting, however, will be held at st.
Paul's Church at o'clock this evening
for the purpose of organizing society to
bestow immediate care upon the graves Of
the Confederate dead at Hollywood Gene
terry. Already measures have been adopt
ed for commemorating at lakewood the
10th of May, and surely similar plan
can also be adopted for the other Gene
teries in the vicinity of this city.
Hollywood has, perhaps from unavoida-
BILE necessity, been sadly neglected. The
graves are falling in, the head-boards are
defaced, and the whole cemetery would
appear desolate and forgotten but for the
fresh flowers and verdant foliage of spring.
This reproach must not be allowed to rest
upon us and this will be fitting time for
a commemorative meeting.
There is only one way in which the
work of caring for the graves of our fallen
heroes can be thoroughly and efectually
done, and that is by entrusting its execu-
tion to the ladies of Richmond. They
have not only pure taste and fertility of
resource, but they have that quick, keen
sensibility, that deep feeling of love and
veneration, that undying gratitude and
respect, which will enable them to realize
in their minds the magnitude of their
task, while their true, faithful hearts will
teach them how best to secure its early
and successful complete.
There is no doubt all the ladies Of the
different churches in the western portion
of the city who are able to do so will at
tend the meeting at st. Pauls this even
ing and when they have determined and
pointed out what they wish to be done,
they can command the services of all our
unemployed young men whose energies anu
muscles are not hopelessly weakened by
their customary patient attendance outside
the church while the business Of the meet
ing is transacted lcihn.

HAIL STORM IN HENRIco.-The storm of
wind, hail, rain, and lightning, which
passed over our city on Tuesday night was
felt with greater severity in a portion of
Henrico north of the city, the storm having
expended its force before reaching us. In
the neghborhood of Mr.. Garland Hanes
an immense quantity of hail fell in the
short space of fifteen minutes, accom-
panied by strong northeast wind. Many
of the hail-stones were as large as guinea
eggs. The wind blew down Mr.. Hanes's
barn, and the hail destroyed many panes OF
glass in his dwelling. Mr.. William A..
Rennic lost about two hundred dollars
worth of glass in his hot-bed frames. We
hear of considerable injury to the young
fruit and vegetables.

EVERYBODY has heard of the monstrous
steers which were presented to the ladies
of the Southern Relief Fair in Baltimore.
They were slaughtered and sold in that
city on Tuesday. The six steers sold for
nearly eight thousand dollars, varying in
price from two dollars to twenty-five cents
per pound. One roast was purchased for
President Johnson for five hundred dollars.
The balance sold from two hundred and
fifty dollars for roasts, down to five dollars
for shin-bones. One splendid roast was
purchased for the Spotswood Hotel, of this
city, and the proprietors will serve it, with
other fixings, for their friends to-day at

THE THEATRE.-Miss Western has won
her way to popularity in Richmond by her
performances. Commencing with small
houses, she has now nightly large crowd
to see and hear her. Mr.. Herne is also an
excellent actor, as indeed are all the men,
bers of the company, with few unimpor-
tant exceptions. Somebody should point
out to Coleman his mannerisms, and in
duce him to drop them. He is quite a
good "old man." is always up in his part,
and has fair conception of every charac-
ter he assumes, and yet there is a je ne sais
q,tot about his actions, rather than his act
ing, which detracts very much from his
naturalness. Dowd never fails to play
well. So of Nunan. Middleton is not SC
good. Miss Cannon is unobjectionable, as
are the ladies generally. Sallie Parting
ton has winning ways, but little too much
sameness in all her characters. Wells is
a trump" To find all the fault we can
we must add that Mr.. Duffield's dummies
are not numerous enough. 1t certainly
would be possible to raise an army of more
than five men in Richmond.
Tonight Miss Western appears in nine
characters-three in the French Spy, which
is to be repeated by special request, and
six in the DeuiliSh Good Joke. The house
will be full.
