incomprehensible. The British should
have gone through that wood and
thanked you. but that was an impass'

warm, and, at last shaking his hist,
angrily exclaimed: "Sir, i would have
shot that bunderer for the destruction oil

under my command. The English would
have done the same thing had he re-

IMPORTANT DECISION.

A New York telegram, Of Saturday,
says In the Supreme Court here yes
,erday, the case of George 0lney, captain
of the steamer Washington Irving, came
up on an application for his discharge on
writ of habeas corpus. The petitioners
counsel contended that the requisition Of
Gov Pierpont is invalid on the ground
that there was no such State as Virginia
in the Uuion recognized by the Federal
Government or Senate IS SUCH that
Governor Pierpont had been appointed
Governor by the President; he had no
right to make such appointment-that
the Governor of New York had no legal
authority to expatriate q citizen on a
requisition Of Governor PiTpont, and
that we have no treaty with Virginia for
that purpose. he signifed his intention
Of traversing his return to the writ and
hearing of the case set down for this
morning at 10 o'clock. Olney was ar
rested on a requisition Of Governor Pier
pont, charged with running of a vessel
under an attachment for debt. The pro-
ceedings in this case are looked for with
intense interest as bringing the vital
questions squarely before the Supreme
Court

A Past Story.

An Englishman was Dragging of the
speed of English railroads to Yankee
traveller seated at his side in one Of the
cars of "fast train in England. The
engine bell had rung as the cars neared
a station. 1t suggested TO the Yankee
an opportunity Of taking down his
companion peg or two"
"What is that noise 7" innocently IN
quired the Yankee u.
"We are approaching town. said
the Englishman; "they have to COM
mence ringing about ten miles before
they get to station, or else the train
would run by it before the bell would be
heard Wonderful, isn't it? | suppose
they haven't invented bells in America z
"Why, yes" replied the Yankee,
"we've got bells, but we cant use them
on our railroads. We run so fast that
the trains always keep ahead of the
sound the sound never reaches the vii
lage till after the train gets by.
"Indeed2" exclaimed the Englishman.
Fact" said the Yankee, had to give
up bells. Then we tried steam-whistles,
but they they wouldn't answer either. l
was on locomotive when whistle was
tried. We were going at tremendous
rate, hurricanes were nowhere, and l had
to hold my hair on. We saw two-horse
wagon crossing the track about five
miles ahead, and the engineer let the
whistle on, screeching like trooper. 1t
screamed awfully, but it wasn't no use.
The next thing knew was picking my
self out of pond by the roadside, amid
the fragments Of the locomotive, dead
horses, broken wagon and dead engl-
neer lying beside me. Just then the
whistle came along, mixed up with some
frightful oaths that had heard the en-
gineer use when first he saw the horses.
"Poor fellow he was dead before his
voice got to him. After that we tried
lights, supposing they would travel faster
than sound. We got one so powerful
that the children woke all along the road,
supposing it to be morning. But the
locomotive kept ahead of it still, and
was in the darkness with the light close
behind it The inhabitants petitioned
against it. They couldn't sleep with so
much light in the night time. Finally
we had to station electric telegraphs
along the road with signal men to tele-
graph when the train was in sight, and |
have heard that some of the fast trains
beat the lightning fifteen minutes every
forty miles. But l can't say as that is
true, the rest know to be so"

STATES OR NOT STATES

Wilson, Senator from Massachusetts,
says the South viii be compelled to ac-
cent the Constitutional amendment.
There is no way of compelling State to
ratify an amendment Approval by one
or more States when all have an option,
does not give them the right to force
others, any more than one voter at the
polls has a right to compel another to
vote as he may think. Like voters atthe
ballot box, every State that possesses
right to vote, may do so according to
IFS own convictions. Upon con
stitutional amendment, each State
has one vote. Who is to die
tate how that vote shall be castf Is
the compelling power a political party

miscuously throughout the country, and
knows no law, no constitution, but is
guided by the force Of its own aspira.

For this purpose they are treated as

themselves as traitors and outlaws, their

consequence be good or bad, the South
is wise in refusing. If negroes are to
control the South, let the Jacobins take
the responsibility and answer for
the consequences. Let them ac-
complish SO dangerous a meas

The following letter from a medical
gentleman, who, in his own person, expe-
rienees the happy results of perfect
cure of disease of the lungs by adopting
the treatment by Inhalation of DR.. Hun
ter, of New York, furnishes strong tes-
timony to the efficacy of the system.
ED. PIcAYUSE.
No. 90 RANPART STREET, Nrw ORLEANS.
To the Editor of the Picayune:
SRI consider it my duty to commu'
nicate to the public some facts on a sub
ject which l deem of the greatest gen.
eral importance. m ati
Six years ago, when | was practicing
my profession in New York, my lungs
became affected by frequent colds; there
was constant irritation and debility,
which acted on my general System so
much that my appetite and general
strength failed, and l was rapidly sink
ing into condition from which knew
too we'll the ordinary practice of medi-
cine could not extricate me.
DR.. Hunter was then actively discuss
ing his views on the proper treatment of
all affections of the respiratory organs,
and | was so fully impressed with their
scientific correctness that | went at once
to consult him in my own case. He ex-
amined me thoroughly, and after making
careful diagnosis of my case, pre-
scribed for me such medicines as he
wished me to inhsle through the admira
BILE instrument he has contrived.
followed DIR. Hunters advice strictly,
and in the course of month i was re-
warded by finding the irritation Of my
lungs allayed. and strength and tone
impaired 10 them which tbey had not
before. / still continued for several
months, however, to inhale his prescrip-
tons, and found continued improvement
and strength as the result The obstruc-
tons in my lungs being thus removed,
the blood became vitalized, my appetite
increased, and my health became perfect
Although it is now six years since l
had the happiness of making DR.. Hun
ter's acquaintance, | feel that my pres
ent excellent health is mainly due to his
scientific treatment and with this con
viction cheerfully volunteers statement
Of the facts, as they may prove useful to
others. As q medical man, / have no
hesitation in pronouncing DR.. Hunters
practice the only rational and successful
method Of reaching the lungs And hay
ing myself experienced its happy effects,
l would recommend it to all who are in
any manner suffering in the organs Of
respiration. A. FoLLIx, NJ D.
This case is most satisfactory, as be-
ing the voluntary testimony Of : member
Of the profession, Who enjoyed good
health six years after so severe an at
