carriage. Frederick Seward WAS very badly
cut IN the forehead, with deep gashes ABOUT his
head and face; but the extent of his Injuries
was not fully known when we heard from

TILE SERRATT CASE

We hear that Mr. Heustis, the newly an.
pointed Warden of the WASHINGTON jail, states
That when he was Consul in Canada. prior to
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, he met Sur
rat there SO frequently as to become familiar
with his person, though not knowing him by
the name OF Surratt. Further, that on the 18th
OF April, lse5 he met Surratt on the steps OF tn
National Hotel, in this city, recognized him as
his Canada acq uaintance and shook hands
with him; but that he did not know him 10 be
John H Surratt until seeing him in the Court
room, since the close of the testimony in the
case now on trial-too late to permit him
(HuestIs) to go on the stand as a witness.

Negro Supcriority.

The committee in the radical Con-
gress to whom was referred the petition
of foreign-born residents of the District
of Columbia praying to be accorded
rights and privileges equal to those en-
joyed by the negroes, has reported
against granting the petition. Intelli'
gent foreigu-born white men, men oi
our own race and lineage, are denied
privileges which are freely, and almost
without the asking, bestowed upon the
black paupers who throng the city OF
Washington. Is there a foreign-born
white citizen of this State who will not
resent the insult that has been putu upon
his countrymen Is there German OF
Irishman here who will any longer
cling to or support the political party
that rates him below the negro.

A few days ago as farmer near Paris,
c. W., was thrashing out his grain, a
most disagreeable smell was noticed to
arise from one portion of the NOW, and
upon investigation the decomposed re-
mains of two negroes were found, and
it was then remembered that two col
ored men who had been employed du-
ring the harvest had disappeared mys-
terionsly, and when last seen were under
the influence Of liquor. The inference
Is. that being overcome with drink, the
two men had laid down upon the NOW
to sleep, and they were then acciden-
tally smothered by other sheayes being
thrown upon them--Moatreal Herald.
