DEDICATION OF THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH, PETERsBURG.-The First Baptist
church, Washington street, was formally
dedicated yesterday morning, Rev. Thomas
H. Pritchard preaching the sermon, and
Rev. j.. L. Hutson and Rev. Thomas Hume,
Jr., assisting in the services. Notwith-
standing the threatening appearance of the
clouds, and the unpleasant condition of the
streets, a very large assemblage was pre-
sent, and every available seat was occu-
pied. In describing the temple of King
Solomon and the manner Of its erection
the reverend gentleman was extremely
felicitous, and from the way in which some
parts of it were received, We should imagine
that he is familiar with the secrets of that
mystic fraternity who date their origin
from the building Of the temple of Solo
mon.-ErpreSS, 25th.

SEATS IN CARs.-An important principle
of law was settled by the Supreme Court
in the trial of the suit for damages grow
ing out of the death of Mr.. William
Walker in consequence of a collision on
the Long Island railroad, as reported in
Thursdays Express. The Court decided,
among other points, that it is the duty of a
conductor to furnish seats to all passengers.
If he should fail to do this, and travellers
be compelled to stand, even though they
stand on the platform, and personal injury
result, the railroad company cannot avail
themselves of the law which absolves them
from liability by posting notices in the cars
against standing on the platforms. Mr..
Walker met his death under such circum-
stances, and his executors recovered dam
ages.-New York EUening Express, March

General sickIes.s Order.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 25.-General
Sickles has issued his order taking COM
mand of this district. He says it is his
duty to maintain security of person and
property, suppress insurrection, violence
or disorder, and punish, or cause to be
punished, disturbers of the public peace
and criminals. He permits local tribunals
to try all cases, unless specially referred
by the commanding general to a commits
sion or other military tribunal. All local
laws consistent with United States laws
and the proclamations of the Presi-
dent are declared in force. When the civil
officers fail, the military authorities will

ers. The General solicits the cordial CO.

SENATOR WILSON'S BILL.-The bill in
troduced yesterday by Senator Wilson to
enforce universal suffrage throughout all
the States may, if it is brought up, have
the effect to keep Congress here for seve-
raj days longer. OF its final passage, either
at this or the next session, there can be no
doubt. This plan is urged by the advo-
Gates of negro suffrage as the easiest and
surest way of settling the vexed question,
and perhaps it may be but in view of the
very recent refusal Of the Republicans in
New York, Connecticut, and Wisconsin,
and the Republican Legislatures of Ohio
and New Jersey, to extend the franchise
to the negroes, this proposed disregard OF
the wishes of the people by Congress may
have the effect to produce dissensions in
the now serried ranks of the Radical party

A sp,p,ru.,1srtc HuMpua Exp06tp,

A S~prRrTUALIsTfC HUMBUd ExP08ED.-
In Louisville, KY, on the 18th instant,
Rev, Mr.. Jenkins and o medium calling
himself DR.. Church were exposed at their
tricks and put in prison as %swindlers. For
two or three weeks they had been giving
their "spiritual seances" to audiences OF
about a thousand people-of course In .
dark room-and had made many honest
converts. On this occasion the medium
Church was tied carefully by an ex-State
senator. Then the usual manifestations
were made, thumps were given, musical
instruments were played, and angelic
kisses were received. But, says the local
paper, Gin the midst of the heavenly mu-
sic three or four matches were suddenly
lighted, and what o revelation was made.
There was Church, the medium, in the
midst of the room with the ACCORDION.
During the singing he had quietly slipped
the cords with which he had been bound.
Upon this expose he pretended to be in a
trance, but suddenly bolted for the front
door. His dupes Hooked dumbfounded.
One gentleman, who had been grossly-im-
posed upon, threatened the life of the
humbug. But a compromise was effected.
The money was restored to the visitors,
and jenkins and Church placed in the sta
t~ion-house. They deserve location in
Frankfort. We condole with our friends
who have been so frequently ~humbugged.
Those kisses from angelic lips must pail
upon the taste, now that they know they
cam from a greasy, dirty little rascal,
without beauty or brains. ANGELS and
ministers of grace defend us from any
further manifestations of this description"

THE BAD REPUTATION OF C~HICAGo.-The
bad reputation of Chicago abroad was
shown in a divorce case the other day.
John Seeley removed from Newark, Nj,
to Chicago, ~instructing his wife to follow.
She has steadily refused to do SO for over
a year, and her husband then commenced
an action against her for divorce on the
ground Of desertion. The wife, in her re-
ply, AYERS that, from what she could learn
of Chicago, it was not a fit place to bring
up a family of children, and q place In
which her own life and reputation would be
endangered. This is considered a good
"joak" on Chicago.

hearted gentleman, a good citizen, and his
death will be deeply regretted by many

WASHINGTON, March25.-General Frank
P. Blair has been nominated Minister to
Austria.
John NJ. Haskin, about leaving for Texas,
has addressed a letter to Senator Wilson
inquiring about suffrage. Senator Wilson

the disfranchisement.

"GooD DoG."-The dog tax last year,
imperfect as it was, brought $4,000 into
the State treasury. There are no exemp-
tons now. The whole dog race, of all
genders, names, kinds, and ages, has to
pony up fifty cents apiece, or be debarred
the privilege forever of wagging tail, kill
ing sheep, or stealing meat. By a small
estimate, there are now zoe, 900 dogs in
the State of Mississippi and under the
military law the number may be in
creased! The former, however, are only
subject to Observation-Disclosures Courier.
