the death of two of hcr brothers, aud o niec.,
| little dreaming that they would SO soon have to
perform the Same melancholy rites over tho gravo
of tho subject of this notice. who was thon in tho
bloom of health and in the midst Of usofulncss.
Though she has passed away, her memory still
lives in the hearts Of those who knew her. Her
genial disposition and kind heart made her IN
object of affection to her relatives, intimutc nc
quaintnncos and neighbo.s. In her faithful love
and discharge of duty, her husband found those
elements which made home the happiest spot on
sarth to him. Simple and unostentatous ia her
religious character, yet her piety was srvent aud
sincere.
In her last illness shc expressed willingness
to die, though greatly concerned for tho welfare
of her little daughter, m only child. We mourn

TINE FOR THE CoLoRED PEOPLE TO Re
FLEcT.-The Raleigh Sentinel says one OF the
phases of the po ular reaction at the North
is that not only of deadly opposition to the
dogma of negro suffrage, but, of actual hos
tility to the blacks as race. Nojoque was
written to pander to that sentiment among
the Northern masses In Philadelphia, We
see it stated, they pursued every black who
was seen on the streets, the day after the
Radical defeat with jeering yel!s of" where's
your nigger supremacy now, Cuffee T. II
such feeling predominates in communities
where the colored men constitute so incon-
siderable portion Of the population, who can
doubt but that it would ripen into actual
boodshed if the two races were in the same
numerical proportions as they exist III the
South?
1t is sad to see that so many of the colored
| men of the South are unaffected by such dis.
closures, and allow themselves to remain in
the deception into which they have been led
by selfish and upscrupulous demagogues.
They are pursuing, with too few exceptions,
the very course which is calculated to lntcll'
sify the enmity and prejudice which are felt
for them at the North, and, at the same time,
to ALLEVIATE from them the friendship and good
will of the white people Of the South. The
few bad men, who are using them for selfish
purposes, will be the first to desert them,
when they shall have accomplished heir pur-
poses, or wben the hour of their danger shall
come. Upon their own heads will fall the
consequences of their stupid aud besotted
folly.
Instead of exercising an ordinary rational
| judgment in their new relations, numbers OF
them are yielding themselves, like oxen, to
the voice and whip of q set OF men who have
constituted themselves their drivers, and who,
they cannot fail to perceive, are the objects
of scorn and contempt to the great mass of
the white community. They have rcIapsed
from slavery of the body into servitude
of the will, which is the mere abject because
it is voluntary.-Richmond Wing.
A MARROW EscApE.-The Columbia CAron-
icle says: We learn, just before going to press,
that one of the workmen on the tin roof of
the State House, Friday afternoon, commenc-
ed slipping near the summit, and finally at
tanning great speed, glided toward death
and the edge of the lofty caves with fearful
velocity. 1t so happened, however, that lie
held in his hand hatcbet, and, with admira-
BILE presence of mind, he drove it with his
might through the lin, and into the wood, and
thus was enabled to hold Oil until he could
be released from the frightful position. Not
nice predicament, that.

Important suit--Property in Slaves.

judges Davis and Drummond, Of the U. S.
Court, have case before them at Chicago,
involving the legality of slave notes. In
March, 1862, Lumsden, citizen of Tennes
see. sold to G. II. Roset, of New Orleans, two
saves. for S2,1OO. He received part pay at
the time, and took two notes for the re-
mainder, payable IN four and six mouths after
date. Lumsden sues Roset for the notes.
His counsel argue that "inasmuch as the con-
tract was valid one at the time twas made,
the right of recovery upon the notes was not
affected, either by the Proclamation Of Eman.
cipation, nor by the Amendment to the Con
s.itution abolishing slavery and that, under
the rules of comfy, the Court was bound to
enforce the contract"
The defendants counsel maintain that there
was nothing in the Constitution making it
obligatory upon the Courts Of States where
slavery did not exist to enforce any contracts
growing out of or relating to it, or to in any
way iudicially recognize the right of the mas
ter to the slave. The institution of slavery
was forever abolished, and that when the
"central crime fell it carried all its surround
ires, incidents, and privileges with it to o
common grave" Louisiana, he continues, was
in rebellion at the time the contract was
made, and the negro, so far as the U. S. Gov
ernment was concerned, ,cas not a stare.
The Court has reserved its decision. Judge
Drummond remarks:
"My impression was that contract made
for that which was good consideration at
the time in the place where it was made,
should be held good everywhere. The only
argument, think, is, that inasmuch as the
law which constituted it good consideration
at the time it was given, having been de-
stroYed, that everything connected with the
contract has been destroyed also; that is, the
right to enforce it. If that follows, then,
that would be the logic of this case; tina.
where there was q law in existence, for exam
ple, by which the contract was valid, and the
law was repealed, if the repeal of the lay de-
stroyed the consideration and prevented en-
forcement of the contract, it would reach this
case. The case is so very important that
really it ought to be decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The decision is looked for with in crest
North and South.-N. Y. Express.
