Judge Hytie Rules against rhe CiCa Rights
BW-Two colorcd boys who escaped from their
former master, G. Watkins, of Montgomery
county, Maryland, were brought before Judge
Wylie, of the Supreme Court of this District,
yesterday, on writ of habeas corpus, and, alter

1--WE have got along great many years with

Pententiary is facetiousy called. Give US
courts enough and cheap enough. and they
take of the criminals better than sending
them to public boarding house to learn trades
to come out and compete with honest and respect
able artizans. Have courts of Jail delivery oftener
if necessary. Try cases speedily. and if guilty.
place the convicts in a chain gang to work on
the county roads or other public improvements.
The State is not able to incur the expense of
building penitentiary, even if it would be self
sustaining, which is very seldom the case.-Char-

We agree with our neighbor. the Times, in the
above remarks. Even if a Penitentiary was ne
cessary (which do not admi.) the State is not
now able TO spare the money to build it. Before
further appropriations are made. the State ought
to pay the interest it owes on debts heretofore
contracted For one, we protest against running
the State farther in debt, and making increase

has become so prosperous and its BUSH

Of the New York Albion. In the Ga

THE arbitrary conscript laws Of Ger.
many have had more to do with the
rapid settlement Of our Western States
than any one would suppose, whose at
tention has not been directly called to
the subject. Thousands Of sturdy Teu-
tons, just arriving at the age which
renders them liable to military service,
have exiIed Themselves from the land
OF their birth, and are now helping to
work out the great destiny Of the Uni
ted States. This cause will continue to
operate in our favor, for the severe con-
script laws OF Prussia have been sI-
tended over the whole OF reconstructed
Germany. and are causing trouble In
regions which have hitherto been COM
paratiVely;free from such despotic mill
itary rule. Two escaped conscripLs re-
Gently took passage on an American
ship at BreneThHyen, but were sur.
rendered to the PrussiHu military au-
thOriIies on demand Of that Govern
nent. The effect of such laws can only
bs to induce young men 10 leave the
country before they can be legally de-
tanned; and In time will probably lead
to some other mode OF recruiting the
army. But this Is only one OF the many
acts OF Numbering despotism by which
European Governments have helped 10
build up the Wesleru world.

THE following remarkable episode is
narrated by the Chicago Tribune of
Friday: IAN amusing scene was pre-
scented last evening at Mcvicker's the
atrs, not behind the footlights. a
young lady from the central part of the
state had come to see the Black Crook.
1t was evidently her first visit to a the
atre, for, on casting her eyes toward the
dome. and seeing there representations
of celestial beings. she Immediately
came to the conclusion that she was in
heaven. She threw her arms franti-
cally round the neck OF gentleman
who was sitting on the same seat, and
proceeded TO shout forth a few rHpIur-
Gus EXPLANATIONS, not quite so appro-
pirate to the theatre as to Il camp meet
ing. So deeply affected was she by her
comforting assurances that she soon
tainted away, and had to be carried
out into the outer darkness by her
friends.

UNDER the head Of milk Cure" we
notice an account OF the curative effects
OF the continued use of the milk regi-
men In the treatment Of many diseases,
such as dyspep sin, dropsy, and adec-
tons Of the heart. There is now addi-
tional testimony on this subject, es-
peclally as relates to the morbid en-
largement ftbe muscular structure of
the heart, scientifically called hyper
trophy, as presented by n French ply
stefan, DR.. Pecnalier, of Montpelier.
This gentleman tells up that in the
embarrassment OF the circulation
arising from this state of the heart,
associated with distractions OF the
valves, the milk diet, together with the
use OF digitalis, and sometimes without
It, will relieve 1.-The distressing symP-
toms. Eventually there will ensue
even an absorption OF the enlarged
muscular structure, ending in cure.
But to insure success the patient must
follow strictly the Injunction laid on
him. Under the Influence OF this diet
IL IL found that the impulse OF the heart
diminishes, together with the palplta-
lions and the congestion or imperfect
circulation of blood in the face, brain
and lungs. Even where cure cannot
be hoped for, there will be a palliAtion
OF the symptoms.

The Mobile advertiser has a pathetic
appeal to the blacks TO vote the COnser-
vatIve ticket. 1t runs in this wise:
.'Colored men OF Alabamal The
mothers who gave you birth were
nurEed by the whites. You have played
with tho whites In Infancy and child
hood. Your race Is far fewer in mum
hers thnn that Of the white race Of the
South. The welfare of your fapilies,
your employment, your daily bread,
aud Whatever advantages and aid you
may receive hereafter must come from
the whites, who posssEs means and In
telIigence. Como together, then, in
Conservative Convention, and satisfy
yourselves that the whites of the South
mean and intend that you shall remain
free, and possess your rights for all
timel
We fancy that some shrewd Uncle
Tom OF Alabama might draw plenty Of
reasons from a similar source why he
should vote the Radical ticket. He
might retort as follows: White men
Of AlabamaI The mothers who gave
us birth were logged by you. You
lorded it over us in infancy, and in
childhood. Your race was stronger
than ours. and 1t made us slaves. Your
daily bread was earned in the sweat Of
our faces. You kept us in chains I'M
Ill the war freed us, and You would
now keep the ballot from our hands if
you had the power. We can do better
than to vote your ticket"
Practically, this is what the blacks,
80 far as they have expressed them
selves, have already said to the whites.
