SlaUery Case.--T. wainwright, ad-
ministrator, VS.. A. Bridges
Judgment reversed and JUDGMENT
releasing defendant from his OBJ
legations. In this case the court,
Justices Lyman, Taliafero, and
Howell, concurring, pronounced a
decision through Justice Talia-
ferro, that recovery at law could
not be had on a contract for the
price of a slave since the enamel
patton of the freedmen; that
slavery never existed as a law,
and was never recognized in the
constitution Of the United States,
but was tolerated as an existing
institution; that it's gradual eman-
cipation was anticipated, and it's
early extinction contemplated by
the trainers Of the government;
that it was found in the territory
of Louisiana, and allowed to re-
main upon these grounds; that
with its extinction by the con-
templated emancipation, no rights
accrued or survived in contracts
where slaves were sold, and no
warranty can be enforced which
was founded upon slavery for life.
Justice Isley read a dissenting
opinion, concurred in by Justice
Labauve, giving a different legal
conclusion on the question. The
opinions We're variously discussed
by members of the bar, and at
tracted considerable attention. 1t
is said this decision will affect a
great number of cases pending
upon the same question, in many
of which the private banks of our
city are largely interested.-lN.

made to receive them and the citi-
Gems generally. After the Lodge

dress, which claimed their atten-
,tion about the space of an hour.
y After the address, a bounkful
barbecue was discussed by the
citizens, beginning with the ladies,
then the gentlemen, when lastly,
the table was given up to NE ex-
elusive useof the colored citizens,
who brought to bear an envied
appetite for the piles of beet, NUT
ton and pork, which rapidly melt
ed away before them.
i'm spite Of the intense heat of
the day, every thing passed off
pleasantly and prosperously. In

AhOAO unhappy SUH.
What a sad commentary upon
the evils of intemperance, is the
above revolving item of crime.
"But Mr.. NJ, was drunk, and be-
longs to that unhappy class of
men, who, when drunk, are almost
madmen," writes the editor, as the
only extenuation for the perpetra-
ton of the dark deed. Yet, with
this horrible fact staring them in
the face, with the hundreds of
others of daily occurrence, how
many of our noble young men,
who might prove themselves pill
lars OF strength in society and the
great battle of life, are daily pros
trating and prostituting the able
intellects, sound bodiesandh honest
hearts, that God gave them in His
own image, before the perfdious
shrine of Bachus i?
We have met in our reading
somewhere, this allegory: A man
was once required to commit only
one out of these three evils.
namely, Intemprance, Adultery or
Murder. He chose, as the least
one Of the three evils-says the
acknowledgements, and whilst
in this state, voluntarily commit
ted the other two.
There is nothing that SO brutal
ICES the passions as intemperance.
Every evil known in the dark cat.
alogue of crime, has been commit
ted under the excess of it's damn
ing influence. And yet, the test
of IberGlity andrespectGbility (saye
the mark among some men, is an
accomplishment in this prostitu-
ton. A man is never liberals i'm
their judgment, unless it is over
the card table or wine cup. If he
spends his money freely there, no
matter if it is wrung by stealth,
over the protest of the widows an
guish and the orphans tears, it is
all right, literally speaking, he is
a cteceri social feuo,c T.! He
may owe honest debts, and swim
die his creditors as long as they
are fools enough to believe his
lies and trust him; but it is still
all right-he is a liberal, lat some
body else's expense) clever fellow |
and this is all the passport he re-
quires.
Alas, how many good men have
been induced to Observation-Disclosures,
through the sneefs and inuendoes
Of sots, who, having themselves
fallen to the lowest depth of de-
bauchery, glory in dragging down
their fellow-men into the Shiny
cess-pools of dissipation. It is a
sad truth ; but q truth neverthe-
less.
Said a friend tous theother day:
''If I don't drink men will say I
am unsocial, stingy, selfish, &c."
And so, we suppose, a man must
contrary to his sense of
Justice to himself-guzzle down
mean whisky, palsy his limbs,
scar his conscience and fire
his brain with madness, in order
20 appease this morbid appetite Of
public clamor--all, over the pro-
est of a mothers, wife's or sisters
;ears-that he may prove his lib
sralityl Rich commentary upon
public opinion, indeed. So wags
he great social world.

VIRGINIA CRY INpEBrEDSEss.-At a
regular meeting Of the Virginia Board
of Aldermen, last evening, the follow
ing resolution, introduced by Alderman
Warren, was adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable to contest
the legality of n considerable portion of
what is claimed as outstanding indebt-
edness of this city, without cost to the
city for attorneys fees, in case said IN
debtedness shall DO declared legal by
the Courts and
WHEREAs, Messrs. Mesick Il Seely and
Hoover & Cole have proposed to contest
the validity Of said claims for a per-
ceutage of the amount they defeat!
therefore,
Resolved, That said firms Of Mesick &
Seely and Hoover 4 Cole be and they
are hereby retained on behalf of the
city to contest said claims upon the fol-
lowing conditions, viz: They are to have
ten (l0) per cent. of the amount of each
class of pretended Indebtedness which
may be defeated through their exertions
in the Courts. The per centage to be
estimated upon the entire amount OF
each class of indebtedness outstanding
against the city at the time u hnal de-
cision is rendered declaring the same,
or the portion Of the same which may
be litigated, invalid. And in case any
money shall become due, then in ac-
cordauce with the foregoing provisions
it shall be paid to them in monthly in
stalmeuts, as may suit the convenience
of the city, but never less than two
hundred dollars per month, until the
whole AMOUNT so due shall be paid.
A SUIcIDE.-About two weeks ago,
in Virginia city, the United States
Liquor Inspector for this State, seized
upon a load of brandy and wines from
Coloma, California;, upon which the
Federal revenue tax had not been paid,
and the liquors were stored, to await
an investigation. The owner or the
teamster, we believe, was named ALL
man, who seems to have either been
distressed about the business, or for
some other cause, "made way" with
himself this morning by cutting his
throat. The act was committed at or
near the St. Louis Brewery, south G.
street, Virginia.
BuLLIoN.-There was shipped from
Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S Gold Hill office,
