HEARrLEssSEss.- young white gir
about seventeen years Of age, named Sophie
Martin, was delivered of q child some nint
months since, in the house Of o oslored woman
residing In Bates alley, whittier she had gone L
reside day or two for the purpose. She left
the child (female) with the colored people fol
them to take care Of and since then has con
tributed little or nothing toward Its support. On
Monday night last tho child died, and the col
ored persons In the house went to the mother fol
the purpose Of procuring means toward burying
the little one. Tho mother refused to give any
thing, and they were obliged to ask the corpora
tion for coffin, which was given them, and the
child inferred.
There Is q heartlessness and cruelty In thii
case deserving Of the severest condemnation and
punishment The child was the result Of Illicit
connection, and the mother kept 1t from her fol
fear Of exposure. She stated to the colored peo
pie that she had expended $3.50 to prevent ma.
turity. Miss Martin Is said to be the daughter
Of respectable parents, and II she 10, We trust
that they, II they have any control over her by
law or Otherwise will exercise It at once or II Il
more than probable that o second disgrace will
be attached to the family name through tho con,
duct Of one whose heartlessloss and cruelty arc
without a parallel in this civilized age.
THE New JAIL INJUNCTION CAsE.-Yes.
terday, in the Equity Court, Judge Wylie dsliv-
cred his decision In the case Of the application
Of Messrs. Adair, Keese, DeLacy, Paddon, KRAFT,
and Gesler for an injunction to restrain the Sec-
retary Of the Interior from erecting Jail on the
site selected by him, or from accepting any Of
the bids invited by him In the notice for letting
the building Of said jail, or from entering into
or sealing any contracts for Its construction, on
the alleged ground that the Secretary has not
complied with the law in relation to the site and
plan Of the same. Judge Wylie refused to grant
the injunction prayed for mainly on the ground
that tho court has no Jurisdiction over an execu-
tive officer Of the United States Government by
any writ Of mandamus or injunction where there
Is any discretion left with tho officer as to the
exercise Of the powers delegated In the act Of
Congress.
