same influences, we shall perhaps In due time
have change in the present conciliatory tone
Of the leading British journals in regard to
our complaints Of British neutrality during the
late rebellion.
Surely we have nothing to expect from the
vigiant and jealous enemies in Europe Of our
popular Institutions and our overshadowing
power as united people, but that they will
turn our internal discords to the best account
against us, in every way. Nor can We under
take TO promise that the damages which may
thus result to our political prestige abroad,
and to our commercial and financial interests,
will be triding, when from the present dis.
agreements between Congress and the Execu-
tive the prospect is that the status Of the
Southern States and of parties in the North
will be unsettled and productive only Of vio-
lent party agitations for several years to come.
Hence, in view Of our foreign relations, as
well as our domestic interest, we appeal to the
republican majorities Of Congress to meet in
council for the purpose Of a harmonious under
standing with the Executive, as the question Of
paramount Importance to the country and to
the party, at home and abroad.

A Case Unda.tho Civil Rights Bill.

LAFAYETTE, INDIANA, April IA colored
man named Barnes brought suit against a
prominent citizen this morning to enforce a
contract The defendant for answer, sets up
that the negro came into the State in violation
of the 18th article of the constitution of the
State of Indiana, which, under pains and pen
aties, prohibits negroes from coming into the
State and debars them from all rights to en-
force contracts, etc.
The plaintiff demurs to the answer, main
tanning that the. 18th article is void and of no
effect, because l. It is in contravention Of the
letter and spirit of the constitution of the
United States. 3 1t is 10 direct conflict with
the constitutional amendment abolishing sla.
very. 8. 1t is void under the first section Of
the civil rights till, which gives to all persons
horn in the United States full right to make
and enforce contracts, any law, statute, ord
Notwithstanding
The court sustained the demurrer, and the
defendant appealed to the Circuit Court, which
Is now in session. : ;
The case was submitted to-day and after
argument OF counsel it was taken under advise
ment Judge Gest will probably render de:
clslon tomorrow. Under the second section
OF the civil rights bill he can only decide in
favor OF the negro, for the reason that an ad-
verse decision would subject him to the penalty
OF 1000 fine and imprisonment!

ABsTRACT1NG FUNDS ERoM HIS EMPLOYER
Thomas Y. SANFORD, formerly employed at
the banking house Of Messrs. Thomas Branch
& Co., arrested in Fredericksburg on Saturday
last, charged with abstracting certain notes
from his employers safe, was brought before
Mayor Mayo yesterday morning to answer the
offence The accused halls from Westmore-
land county, in this State, and has, up to the
present time. enjoyed highly respectable
reputation. During the examination he sat in
front of his Honor, with his head hung down.
hands clasped, and seemed immersed in the
deepest depair. We understand that he occu-
pied the responsible position Of paymaster in
Fields division Of the Confederate army dur
ing the late war The particulars of the affair
are that, on Saturday last, upon Investigation
of certain irregularities which have recently
occurred at Messrs. Branch Il Co.'S establish
ment, it was discovered that two packages of
notes of the Bank of Commerce and Bank of
Berkeley, of the value Of $780, had been abb
stracted from the safe, whereupon the fact was
made known to the Chief of Police, and Capt.
Russell Belts was dispatched to ascertain the
particulars From information received, sus-
picion rested upon Sanford as the guilty person,
and inquiries were made as to his whereabouts.
1t was soon ascertained that such person had
purchased through ticketto Baltimore over
the Fredericksburg route, and forthwith Capt.
Belts took the train for Fredericksburg where
he found Sanford and took him in custody.
Search was instituted, and upon his person
was found Sl35 IN currency, s4O5 in notes of
the Bank OF Commerce, SIS in notes of the
| Bank of Berkeley and 500 In notes of the Bank
of Rockbridge, besides note for 81 900. The
currency was the proceeds of 1926 in notes
which the prisoner had sold in Fredericksburg.
The prisoner, when arrested acknowledged his
guilt. The aboye4is the substance of the testi.
mony given before the Mayor yesterday morn
ing at the conclusion of which the accused was
remanded for examination before the Hastings
