Is ALABAMA STATE OR A TERRITORY THE
question of the status of the Southern States late
ly in rebellion is about to come before the Uni
ted States Supreme Court for decision. a man
named Jordan was recently brought before th"
Federal District Court sitting in Montgomery,
Alabama. on charge offelony, and having been
found guilty was sentenced by Judge Busted
to twenty-One years Imprisonment His counsel
Tor a writ Of haJeas corpus, on the ground that
Alabama is not State, but territory. and as
such Judge Busteed's District Court had no je-
gal status. The matter will thus be brought fair
ly and squarely before the learned judges Of our
highest judicial tribunal. and if they wimcrt til"
question openly and render plain decision we
may expect solution of what is now a very COM
plicated political subject.-Neoo Yorh HeraH.

An Unpublished Letter from Gen. WASH
notwithstanding Political History.

The following letter from Gen. Washing
tor, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, has never
been published. It contains items of poll
teal history, bearing upon the adoption of
the present Constitution Of the United
States It was written shortly after the ad-
iournment Of the convention which framed
that instrument, and before it was ratified
by the several States. 1t is noticeable from
the fact that Gen. Washington believed
that Patrick Henry would not be friendly
to the constitution, because it was an eff
fectual bar against the emission of paper
money" Henry being paper money man.
The General did not see how it would be
nullified and disregarded in these days OF

MEMPHIs.-The Avalanche has an inter-
esting article on the Memphis and New
Orleans trade, and mentions incidentally
that before the war the Cumberland River
trade supported five large ~sidewheel steam
boats that piled regularly, except during
such times as there was insufficient water
to float them. They brought out of that
river immense cargoes of cotton, tobacco,
-four, and cattle, anu returned with large
supplies of groceries and for
the Internal trade of Tennessee. The COM
pletion of the Memphis and Louisville
Railroad, with a connecting branch to
Nashville. materially conficted with the
unity of this trade by diverting much of the

A correspondent of the Louisville

prevent hydrophobia. Spriggins says
he once prevented severe case of the
dreadful malady by simply getting on a
fourteen-rail fence and staying there I'M

"Who's there p said Robinson, one
cold winter night, disturbed in his re-

stay there by all means," was the benev-

Curio.i,ies of the Opium Trade.

CurfOsitfes of the Opium Trade.
Two or three years ago, when Victo-
ria, Vancouver Island, was free port,
enormous quantities of opium were TAX
en- out of bond in San Francisco and
sent to Victoria; and, strange to relate,
at the very time the consumption of the
drug among the 5000 or 5000 Chinese
in the British Colonies was so large, the
consumption in San Francisco and vi
cinity, with population ten times great
er, fell off in an extraordinary manner.
A seizure was made, and very little OPT
um went north after that exposure. 1t
transpired that the opium generally came
back by the very steamer, though not in
the same packages in which It'll went
The San Francisco smugglers, however,
are ingenious, and, being checked in the
Vancouver Island business, first, by the
increased vigilance of the revenue Off
GERS, and afterward driven out of it by
high Colonial tariff, they have sought
another convenient port where there is
no duty on the drug. One of the city
papers gives hint of the way in which
it is done, saying that during the past
eight months large amounts of opium
have been taken from bond and shipped
to the Sandwich Islands in fact, that
more of this drug has left San Francis
CO for the Islands than their inhabitants
could consume in twenty years, even
though every fifth person was a consumer.
Until this year, the Sandwich Islands
never been knownto San Francisco have
merchants as market for opium; and
it is not probable that many of the
statements respecting the enormous con-
sumption of the drug by the Islanders
may be explained by the hints given
above.
